matthews and others wanted accountability. and listen to her voice, she said, quote, many of those who profess want change don't care nothing about poor people. if they have poor people at heart, they could make it better. they forget about you. they forget about who they are and where they come from. and there she's talking about the people who are elected by people like her. one of her priorities was school desegregation. she filed a lawsuit to challenge the atlanta public schools. she wanted school desegregation. and she met resistance. not only from whites but from blacks. now, recall that the pragmatists like e.t. walls wanted segregation to protect the black middle class but also out of concern for students. well, it turned out that during the 1970s, the local naacp in atlanta opposed school desegregation and for much the same reasons. they decided to settle the school desegregation case that was ongoing in atlanta in order to preserve the jobs of african-american school teachers and principals. there was concerns about

ethel may matthews, was the daughter of alabama sharecroppers. she arrived penniless in atlanta during the 1950s. she worked as a housekeeper. she lived in public housing and she later found her political voice in the welfare right movement during the 1960s. matthews and others like her, as she rose to -- they roads to challenge the second wave and others in the civil rights movement made it clear that the formal equality of a civil rights act of 1964 and the voting rights act of 1965 were not enough. they were not enough. matthews and others said because jim crow had left a legacy of racialized poverty. and, thus, ms. matthews and other women, mostly women, in the welfare rights movement waged protests for affordable housing and an adequate income and they were vocal critics of many politicians including the new black political class elected in the wake of the voting acts of 1965 saying again the right to vote alone was not enough if the representatives were not responsive. matthews and others lobbied for a responsive political structure for acc

i told matthew i would be back in a couple of minutes, i was going to go for a walk. i had her move around so i could get behind her. and in doing so, i needed to have -- to raise her head up to wrap my arm around her and kill her. i said oh, no, there's my son getting out of the car or something similar to that. so she raised her head up and that's when i put my arm around her, my right arm and i started choking her. >> ridgway says he promised if she didn't make any noise, he would let her go. then he finished strangling her using his socks and calmly walked back to the truck and his son. >> did he ask where the lady was? >> i said she wanted to walk home. she doesn't live that far away. my urge to have sex and to kill her was more than for the safety of matthew. >> sheriff reichert had a lot riding on the interrogation. he wanted to make sure ridgway was pushed hard. and reichert couldn't resist coming face to face with the monster he had chased for years. so even though he was busy running a department with more than 1,000 employees, he carved out time to come and

hi, i'm chris matthews. welcome to the show. with us today. john heilemann, farr farr, andrea mitchell and david ignatius. first off, it was a week dominated by twitter, but the hard reality of our very economy is what is haunting the obama white house and giving encouragement to the republicans. the new issue of "time magazine" has this cover, what recovery? "time magazine" lists the five myths that shows how hard it will be to get back to how this one was. number one, the current is a blip. no matter how much the white house says it's true, two, more monetary stimulus could work if it comes to us. it keeps interest rates down, but it doesn't make people without jobs buy anything. three, private sector investment will help when it kicks in. businesses spending in emerging country is into the here. four, the people are ready to work. the fact is with new jobs, people can pick up stakes to move where the jobs are and many don't have the right training for the jobs. five, americans are entrepreneurs. that's just not the force it once was. rana t

i'm chris matthews. with us today, "time" magazine's michael duffy, nbc's norah o'donnell, "new york times" helene cooper and "the washington post," david ignatius. first up, it was the weeks politics of the war became clear er, and ending the surge in afghanistan is now a given. but is the president lagging the country on this? in a new pugh pole. 67% of democrats say get the troops out asap, as soon as possible. 43% of republicans agree with that. and the republican establishment, mitt romney and jon huntsman, may pressure president obama from the left. here's huntsman. >> i think we can probably be a little more aggressive over the next year. we've routed the taliban, we've dismantled al qaeda. let's get serious about what needs to be done on the ground, and that's a significant counterterror effort. chris: david, there's a lot of political pressure building that's come out of nowhere, really. republicans establishment candidates, like huntsman and romney, saying basically get going to get out of ther

joining me now is our correspondent, matthew price. have we got more details on what this meeting is likely to cover? >> it's going to cover both the economic impact of the e. coli scare. that's the impact on farmers and presumably specifically in spain. and also the food safety implication. we're told first the germans are going to be giving their latest on the research that they've done on the e. coli. there will been be discussions based around what exactly is being done to guarantee food safety in germany specifically and, indeed, across the continent. and then a look at the possible compensation that might be

this is matthew's third book. his second, which traced harry and bess truman's cross-country trip in 1953, got a lot of great press, and in 2009 "the washington post" called it one of the best books of the year. and before that he wrote a book about the war years and football and the steigels, which is a combination of the pittsburgh steelers and the philadelphia eagles, another interesting book. he's got a very eclectic background. not just an author, not just a journalist, but let me tell you some of the things he has done. he has been a hot dog vendor at a traveling circus, he's been a halloween costume salesman, he's been a gas station attendant, a convenience store clerk, and all this is going to put him in good stead because in two months he's moving to monogoal a ya -- mongolia with his wife, so that should be pretty interesting. and very importantly, he is a friend to this museum and a member of it. it's my pleasure to introduce matthew algeo. [applause] >> boy, you make it sound much more interesting than

matthew price, "bbc news," on the turkish-syrian border. >> for more on the situation in syria and the international reaction, i spoke with the former u.s. ambassador to morocco. let's start with what al-assad in the speech. he promised a national dialogue, and he said this could lead to amendments to the constitution. do you take him at his work? >> it is hard to take him at his word because this is the third time he has spoken to the syrian people in the wake of the protests, and the fact of the matter is there has been very little action to back up words other than repression, other than a great deal of harm inflicted on the syrian people by his military troops. unless he demonstrates something that is tangible that the syrian people can grab hold of, the syrian protests will continue, and he will continue to lose credibility. >> so far we haven't seen the kind of huge crowds turning out in syria. it is hard to know exactly what is going on because foreign journalists can't get into the country. if people leave the country, if we don't see the millions showing up, al-assad could car

matthew price, thanks very much indeed. the authorities in germany had previously blamed spain, as we heard. our correspondent in berlin, stephen evans, says they are confident the latest tests will prove more conclusive. >> they can't confirm that it was the only source and will get the results in the next few hours. but the agriculture minister for the area has already named this farm, and it would be very strange indeed, it seems to me, if the agriculture ministry was naming a farm as being suspected if it didn't have very, very good reason to do so. it's saying that all the roots point to this farm. the question will be whether other vegetables are also grown at the farm and whether other farms are involved as well. but at the moment, it looks very much, and the way they're talking is it looks very much as though they think they found the source. >> and is this to do with the use of manure at the farm? what specific practices could be behind this? are we clear yet or not? >> we are a little clearer. this farm apparently
