and it took martin luther king and dorothy hyde, and it took malcolm x and rosa parks thurgood marshall and jack greenberg and the uaw supporting the march on washington, and it took lyndon johnson, who knew how to break a 17 year filibuster. we don't know how many projects he promised. [laughter] we don't know how many deals he cut, but whatever he did, it worked, and the civil rights act of 60 forecast. we are progenitors of that work. the second part of this state of black america is the equality index and each and every year for the past 20 years, we have said let's put the facts when it comes to the numbers of social and economic conditions out there so we can understand clearly what the comparative is when it comes to the social and economic conditions of black americans and white americans so that we are not having a discussion with a billion opinions only. yet we are also not having a discussion with the misinformation and of the the lyingthat goes on when it co progress or the lack thereof in this nation. and of the third part of the report is a report on president biden and wh

that movement was supported by an aggressive strategy in the court that thurgood marshall and others architected to try to knock down all of these walls. it was litigation and activism. our predecessors in the big six stood in 1963 with 250,000 americans at that great march on washington. they had a demand. we want a civil rights act and a voting rights act and we want it now. we come forward. have been asked on a number of shows, what has happened? to the civil rights act of 1964 work? look at the correspondence? women and african americans and other people of color who now grace the anchor desk's at all of these great media organizations and said you would not be here. not just the african americans but the women and the latinos and asians and others. you would not be here. but, for the civil rights act of 1964. so, the cynics and sometimes what i call polite barry caters would sometimes say, nothing has changed. i say, were you living in 1964? if we suggest that nothing has changed, we are disrespecting the work of man and it took a martin luther king and a dorothy height and a wh

. >> laura: how about thurgood marshall. >> i can only imagine what sotomayor is thinking gee, i just think. >> laura: she is 69. i think it's ageism, jonathan. my goodness. i don't think these people actually understand how they sound and the arguments they are making given what is happening on their side of the political aisle. it's just absurd. i never thought i would stick up for justice sotomayor but i'm sticking up for her because i don't think it's fair. jonathan, thank you. the fbi arresting an 8-year-old from idaho this weekend in what they are describing as a truly horrific and violent plot to attack churches. on behalf of isis. joining me now with all the details, fox news senior national correspondent kevin corke. kevin, what can you tell us. >> incredible story, frankly, laura. 18-year-old by the name of scott mercurio 20 years in prison allegedly pledging allegiance to isis and intent to commit acts of terror on the group's behalf by attacking people at cord da lane idaho churches. this arrest follows multi-year investigation by the fbi joint terrorism task force. arrest

we think about thurgood marshall, right. but so short in our essential to kind of this black movement as, people who are agreed by discrimination and racial violence. right. but also as and organizing great children, organizing students, organizing throughout the whole black freedom movement. okay. also student active is of all ages challenged oppression and other inequalities. the student movement was diverse in demographics with varying motivations, tactics and causes. and not all african-americans advocated for integration. some people advocated for equal resources while maintaining separatism. they advocated for black determination and power to rule over their own communities. right. so not all african-americans wanted interrogation in a large, white, central right was able to get a lot of resources strategically during segregation. so because they didn't want to integrate the founder central kind of use that get more resources for central so getting central graduate school early on right using that kind of segregation a

more than 50 years ago president lyndon johnson nominated thurgood marshall who would gm the first black american to serve on the supreme court and his -- at his confirmation hearing he faced racial questions and m{l1}c{l0}carthy-like accusations that he was a communist. if of that sounds familiar, it's because mr. mangi, the first muslim american nominated to the appellate court faced similar treatment at his hearing before our committee. committee republicans subjected him to irrel vent -- irvel vanity combatant lines about hamas war. they even asked if he celebrated the 9/11 terrorist attacks in his home. think about that for a second. an american coming before the senate judiciary committee of a muslim faith is being asked if he celebrated the 9/11 anniversary in his home each year. during the hearing under oath mr. mangi unequivocally condemned anti-semitism in all its forms and condemned any acts of terrorism no fewer than ten times, ten times at one hearing. he also repeatedly denounced any form of hate or bigotry. any insinuation that mr. mangi is antianti-semitic or antiterroris

extensive experience over 80 years, advancing rights for black americans since our founding by thurgood marshall in 1940. and it is also informed by the on the ground election protection work that we must do every election cycle in order to ensure that black voters can cast a ballot and have it counted. last week was the 59th anniversary of bloody sunday when patriots, like genre lewis were brutally beaten in selma, alabama for simply demanding the right to vote. and their courage and action led to the passage of the voting rights act of 1965 and the true start of our multi-racial democracy. we need congress to follow in the steps of those foot soldiers with courage and action today. it is more than a decade since the show where the supreme court gutted the heart of the voting rights act, and congress still has yet to act. but in that decade of congressional inaction, states that were previously subject have aggressively and systematically trampled on voting rights especially those of black citizens. alabama, north carolina, texas, and other states with histories of discrimination advanced harsh

and the plessy decision in the thirties under thurgood marshall. and it's those cases by case that will build and to the 50. so you have you have public people agitating you have action the courts and you have a bunch of african americans in the south whose names we will never know. it was so risky to out of a church basement or to function as other than an agriculture agent or a teacher. because to do anything you would be beaten up, hung the klan put signs on black churches. if you if any member of this congregation registers, we will hang you and sanctuary. you know, we about the records of of the national and we tend to think of paper records but there are other records too including at the lbj presidential library,. 693 hours of taped telephone of conversations there of lyndon johnson doing the business of his presidency. my favorite of all of those tapes is a conversation between linda johnson and martin luther king on january 15th, 1965, martin luther king's 36th birthday. and they're talking about they understand that they have a symbiotic

king didn't say, i wish thurgood marshall was in montgomery. he did it. find out that you don't wash your feet that well. i mean, we look to break down people rather than lift ourselves up. >> absolutely. >> eddie, this conversation, especially what you were talking about, the two of you, what has happened to us? why have so many americans lost the memory of what this country was and still is, and ignore what the country still is? >> you know, it is a really important point. i think, and i'm following richard slotkin, who has a new book coming out, he said we're in a second lost cause. we're in the midst of a second redemption. what was distinctive about the lost cause and redemption wasn't simply the violence of koufax, louisiana, and wilmington, north carolina, where there was literally a coup over the state governments, but it was also an assault on how we remembered reconstruction and remembered the past. what's interesting, when i look at the kids in florida, texas, where they're not going to be taught the full scope of our hus history, i get angry a
