my guest tonight is jewish resistance fighter and concentration camp survivor selma van de perre.urvivors are more important than ever. selma van de perre, welcome to the daily social distancing show. >> you're welcome. >> jordan: you have lived a life that is remarkable, a life filled with triumph, trial, tribulations and you are now telling your story. you have lived as a jewish resistance fighter. you survived a concentration camp. and now on may 5th the netherlands are celebrating 76 years of liberation from the nazi occupation. why do you think may 5th is so important to many people and especially to yourself? >> may the 5th, oh, well, because it is rather good thing to remember because we were freed from german occupation. i know people are celebrating today but many people lost lives and family. and are not ready to celebrate freedom. i think the day before, yesterday, was very much more important because that was the day of the dead. although today is very important, liberation day. >> trevor: and in your new book my name is selma, you talk about your life. you talk about

in 1965 when i was a reporter for the oakland post i went to selma. i had an opportunity to have 14 hours of exclusive interviews and walks because i doubled as both a reporter. and then usher. >> to montgomery. that was when i waited for journalism and civil rights activism. >> as you mentioned, what did you think of the movie and the creation event. they captured the essence and it was accurate. and those scenes of showing doctor king that was real. so, the viewer got a chance. one of the other reasons we said that was because, i saw myself in there. so, the movie was definitely accurate. >> when i met you in the late 60s, you were so involved in the community. so, i immediately withdrew to all the work that you're doing. what inspired you to continue to work that collects >> it's a unique approach. in 1966 we used to monitor this was long before the black panther party was even organized. so, i done a lot of work with black churches and with civil rights organizations. so, we formed a team called the black caucus this is prior to the congressional

the cameras were there on highway 70 in selma, alabama. the cameras where they are for the freedom rides, they were there for the sit ins. they were not there at parchment, they were not there in the penitentiaries and the jails where board knows what could have happened. but he always wanted to make things grow. so, as one of the early church fathers said, the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church. i would argue that the blood of john lewis is the seed of our best manifestation of what america can be. so one was the faith, that was one tributary. i think another was his innate revulsion against the segregated order that he encountered in troy. the first -- the only white person he saw with any regularity growing up was the mailman. when he would go into troy, he had a revulsion against the fact that he was not fully a citizen. and it unsettled him in a profound and, ultimately, for all of us, redemptive way. the 30 tributary, i think, is the story of the country itself. he was very much engaged in what was unfolding beyond pike c

>> absolutely, elliott gotkine, thank you very much. >>> now to selma abdelaziz in beirut. tell us through what you've been seeing, where you are in lebanon and more broadly across the region. >> reporter: yes, kim. yesterday was a key day. the day that commemorates the hundreds of thousands of palestinians that were displaced in the year 1948, the year the state of israel was declared. their descendants number in the millions and they're spread across the region with many in lebanon. it was a very big day yesterday. we were along the lebanese border. we have footage to show you of that day. we at first saw a very simple gathering there, buses bringing people in from various political factions, the yellow flags of hezbollah, the green flags of hamal and people showing up with their children waving flags, people who said they needed to come out and show solidarity, not only with the families in gaza that were under bombardment during one of the holiest holidays for muslims but across the region. we started to see groups of young men going down the hill tops and running up to

, the march to selma, dr. king's "i have a dream" speech. those things could very well be classified as riots under the new florida state combating public disorder act, state house bill 1. so the most pivotal civil rights demonstrations of our lives would be illegal under this current legislation because of how broad and vague the definitions of what a riot is, what's inciting a riot, et cetera. there's just no clear definition of what those cover. and the impact of the first amendment is you can't go out and protest against low teacher wages or police brutality upon young black men. >> so that would mean that that all of the -- >> -- prosecution, if somebody in the area does something aggressive or violent, the entire demonstration is liable because they were a riot under the bill. >> that means that all of the demonstrations would be considered riots. i mean, that's terrifying when you think of the peaceful demonstrations that we've had. and you said they would under this law, the march on washington under d

selma was at those z demonstrations on saturday. she joins us from beirut. what can you tell us? >> reporter: i know we have some footage to show you. they started out very peacefully, very calmly. we did see buses bringing people in, but we also saw families arriving with their children. you saw flags for some of the key factions, hit broke their hearts to watch families in gaza living under bombardment during eid al fitr. quite quickly we started to see small groups of men come down those hills and go towards that very tall fence that you see in those images there that divides lebanon and israel. they began to throw stones, some tried to climb that fence, hoist flals a flags. we did hear what gunfire coming from the israeli side. we also saw troops on the other side. we found out that two people were wounded due to israeli gunfire. but by and large, it did end peacefully. that's because lebanese troops moved in to disperse those crowds, making it clear that everyone needs to go home. that's exactly what happened. those protests are not just seen here in lebanon. we also saw dem

. >>> selma, to you know in beirut. what is the latest on regional and international reaction to this violence? >> rosemary, as you heard from my colleague, as violence escaladed and had the deadliest day in the conflict yesterday, there's been diplomatic efforts that are ramping up. the scene is really changing here, rose mary. traditionally it was egypt that was brokering deals. broker peace agreements between hamas and israel. now what is happening you have a lot of new actors on the stage. it comes down to the normalization of countries. last year they signed the normalization agreements with israel and you're going to see these countries try to get involved in these mediation efforts. their argument in signing the agreements, which are highly controversial in the region, are they could have greater influence at the negotiating table. they could have a say that might help the palestinian people. that might help families in geo gaza. ultimately many people might feel it's red rhetoric. how it's playing out, people ar

by the time i got to college, the movement kept intensifying through selma. i dropped my premed courses and started studying political science. by the time i finished chapel hill, i went down to work with julian bond. i met him in atlanta. and we put together a challenge delegation when i was still in school to challenge lester maddox, our governor at the chicago convention in 1968. and by a miracle, we got seated and julian became a lifelong friend. we had the same birth date which we celebrated together for almost 50 years, until he died a couple of years ago. one of our delegates was john lewis and the next summer he hired me to work for the voter education project, 1969, the first time i had ever done anything really in civil rights except for that challenge delegation. he sent me into south georgia to try to register voters by myself. it was an odyssey of discovery. columbus could not have been more lost when he sailed west than i was. my commission and i had 20 counties where they had no connections, nobody on their rolodex. they were black majority cou

we have martin luther king and thousands of others marching in selma alabama to ensure the right of african-americans to vote. there is this kind of parallel social movement occurring as these early -- and we can use the word now -- antiwar advocates are trying to come up with their own answers and solutions. to some extent, this nation -- nascent antiwar activism is going to look at the civil rights movement. they already have some means and tools that might be adaptable to their cause. that is one piece out there. there is another piece that is happening almost simultaneously but is a precursor to this. we talked earlier about what was happening on the university of california berkeley campus in the fall of 1964, weeks after the gulf of tonkin resolution is fast. you had the free speech movement erupting. mario savio getting on top of the police car telling the students of the university of california, you have a right to political practice on campus, you have a right to speak out freely about the political causes of the day. he was talking about civil rights issues, racial justice issues, not viet

coming on the job today was standing on the other side of the bridge, the edmund pettus bridge in selmaday and no one in that room engaged in the behaviors. however, the uniform that they wear was there, and although your position today and the badge, you may not be responsible for it, that uniform is responsible to it. i believe that the government needs to make the first step on this and have that type of engagement. >> a really frank and open conversation. and we also talked about solutions, the changes they believe could help re-establish trust, rebuild relationships and reinvent policing as we know it in this country. former chief thomson has done it and radically rebuilt and restructured the organization leading to improved relations with the community and brought crime rates to a 50-year low. we'll share that part of our conversation tomorrow morning. but, eva, i know you said you were in philly when chief thompson was making all those changes. >> yeah, i walked on the streets of camden as he was trying to do a lot of that work, thanks, janai. >> important conversation. thank you

when you look at jimmie lee jackson killed was the impetus for the move around voting rights in selmayou see these deaths like george floyd and there is no change. that's what makes it even worse. >> i think when we meet with president biden, reverend al, the family, it's going to be symbolic for all these families, but symbolism isn't enough. we have to get this bill passed. if we miss this opportunity, reverend al, i don't know when we will have an opportunity to get meaningful police reform in america. >> when you also look at the fact that you have to at the same time deal with the fact that the progress that many thought would be conviction here of chauvin, all of us were elated that night, though you and i had to wake up the next morning and go to the wake affdaunte wright, and his family is joining us tonight at the rally. you make a step forward, but you have to deal with the fact that unless we get these laws, we're going to keep having to deal with these things. the one thing, though, that did give me hope was that ten policemen testified in the trial against chauvin around

it was the justice department that allowed martin king and john lewis to march from selma to montgomerythe floyd family, we announce that the department of justice is open for business and lives will be saved. >> amen. [ applause ] >> i was stunned, i was moved to tears when the federal indictment came out, because i've known the mothers of eric garner, trayvon martin, tamir rice, and others who suffered without justice. this indictment is, again, to raise up the specter that the constitution has a role in the violence against innocent persons, and you can not engage in bad police conduct under cover of law with impunity and get away with it. i want to make this point. this is about police misconduct, bad conduct, because as we commemorate this month that honors law enforcement, we will not be tagged and tainted with an opposition to the laws of this land. but the indictment was so visual, as it indicated that officer chauvin in particular was willful, and the reason, of course, is because at the end of six minutes, when it was apparent that george floyd had no more life, officer chauvi
