when that very easy to predict mob descended on the bus station in montgomery, the montgomery police show up. they did not try to prevent the violence. they did nothing. this weekend as part of this commemoration where they once again marched across the bridge in selma, with so much more weight on it than usual because of the voting rights act in the supreme court right now, something happened that surprised everyone. it happened in montgomery at a church service. it was the chief of police, the chief of montgomery's police department now is named kevin murphy. he had not yet been born when the freedom riders were attacked in his town. but he is the chief there now. and he says he grew up in alabama hearing the stories about how wrong it all was. well, on saturday, that chief stood in the first baptist church in montgomery and apologized to john lewis, now congressman lewis, for the inaction of his police department way back then. watch this. this just amazing. >> when you got off the bus in 1961, you didn't have a friend in this part. and you're good friends with the president of th

we are in a new moment in montgomery.ere have been people that resisted on the bus before 1954, more people in the decade since world war ii, but 1955 -- 1954, we are in a new moment the women's group had been organizing, e.d. nixon, rosa parks in particular are the more activist part of the naacp. there are growing frustrated with the situation but on the bus and in schools in montgomery. march 1955, claudette colvin makes her historic act and there is outrage in the community. i think there is no way to understand what people galvanized behind parks without understanding claudette colvin's arrest and what that does for many people in montgomery. no, we do not see a movement. we do not see that same kind of nottion, but had colvin made that stand, i don't think we would have necessarily seen what happened in december of that year. in october, like we were talking about, mary louise smith makes a similar stand. again, no movement around that. we get to december 1st, 1955. >> in effect, these earlier incidents sort of conv

[applause] with that victory, the entire edifice of segregation, like the ancient walls of jericho, began to slowly come tumbling down. it has been often remarked that rosa parks's activism did not begin on that bus. long before she made headlines, she had stood up for freedom, for equality, fighting for voting rights. rallying against discrimination

later came an apology from the man who now leads montgomery's police force. >> i feel like what i did today should have been done a long time ago because we have to live with the truth and it is the truth. >> reporter: the truth, the police chief said, was that the montgomery police didn't stop a white mob from beating lewis and other freedom riders at the dawn of the movement in 1961. chief murphy offered his badge to lewis. >> the healing continue, that's what the movement was all about. to heal. to become one. >> john lewis noted there were other police departments that stood by and watched clashes unfold, but this was the first time he had ever received an apology. >>> that's "nbc nightly news" for this sunday. brian williams will be here tomorrow. i'm lester holt reporting from new york. i'll see you for "dateline" at a different time tonight, 8:00, 7:00 central. in the meantime, for all of us here at nbc news, good night. >>> nbc bay area news starts now. >> good evening. i'm kris sanchez. we begin with an officer involved shooting in the east bay. the first happened thursday in
