they were george wallace. and on top of that, wallace had another part of his genius. he insisted in public that he had never made a single comment in his public career that reflected poorly on anyone because of race. he would get indignant if you suggested that. and that's part of the formula, a willful unconsciousness to the power over ignorance. in our society makes us blind, slowly, so slowly and so pervasively that now i think it's totally unconscious. people just repeat those phrases because they are normal, and they are normal from the right and they are normal from the left. people don't understand how much the left has contributed to the same sort of modern cynicism that does not take credit for their sense of capacity we should have, that if we could tackle all of those problems in the '60s and let loose this liberation that benefits everyone at such a low social cost, if we recover our sense of confidence and sense of commitment and struggles to reach across the lines, that was the essence of movement. that's the essence of martin luther king day. get outsid

mentioned george wallace. i can also, people in the civil rights movement, turned against a lot of their own example. number one is not violence, not violence became unpopular among people of the civil-rights movement. the most powerful light the was the first one, there are a lot of other religions. the left turned against religion. when it was half of the movement's inspiration and half of dr. king's magnificent formula of = full and equal votes, one foot in the scriptures and one foot in the constitution and the next thing you know people are turning against the spiritual base of democracy. we misremembered the civil war for a century. i was growing up in atlanta, my textbooks said the civil war had nothing to do with slavery and we got a lot of sentimental gone with the wind and to this day there are text books in history that referred to the political movement that overthrew the reconstruction governments after the civil war and restored white supremacy in the south and paved the way for segregation, refe

george wallace is the opposite of that. take council of your fears and resentment, and essentially, adopt a cynical and blind attitude towards the possibilities of democracy. cynicism is an appetite, not a judgment, not a measured judgment. democracy requires measured judgment, informed citizens willing to take responsibility. cynicism creates consumers who complain and have low expectations and have a very low sense of citizenship. in that sense, i think we're out of phase with what ought to be a great optimistic sense of if we could have done that in the 60s, now we have a lot of serious problems with it with an economy stripped of its industrial base, facing international competition. we have environmental problems, justice problems, family problems, all of these, but where is our sense of confidence that we can tackle these together, and that our strength is in the bonds we create across the bonds that divide us. that's the essence of patriotism. that's what democracy is. that's what george washington was doing, and in

our conversation with george wallace starts right now. >> there is a saying that dr. king had that said there is always the right time to do the right thing. i just try to live my life every day by doing the right thing. we know that we are only halfway to completely eliminate hunger, and we have a lot of work to do. walmart committed $2 billion to fighting hunger in the u.s. as we work together, we can stamp hunger out. >> and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. if -- thank you. tavis: i am pleased to welcome george wallace back to the program. i am laughing already. after decades of making us laugh, he is now the recipient of a new lifetime award from bt. he is also celebrating his 10th year at the flamingo hotel. we will stop right there. this is my 10th year on pbs. do you see that sign, tavis 10? >> of, my goodness. tavis: he is now 10 years at the flamingo hotel, now the longest running performer to do that of african descent. a show i never miss when i am in las vegas. the celebration is this saturday, so let's take a look. >> some peopl

on top of that, wallace had another part of this genus. he insisted in public that he had never made a single comment in his public career that reflected poorly on anyone because of race. he would get indignant if you suggested that. that is part of the formula. the wilco consciousness to the power of race in our society. it makes us blind slowly, so slowly and so pervasively that i think it is totally unconscious. people repeat those phrases because they are normal. they are normal from the right and from the lack. people do not understand how much the left has contributed to the same kind of modern cynicism that is not a credit for the type of capacity that we should have. if we could tackle all of those problems and let loose the thing at such a low cost, if we recover our sense of confidence and commitment and struggles to reach across the wind, that was the essence of the movement, that is the essence of martin luther king day. it starts with something that is a great inspiration george wallace is exactly the opposite of that. take ch

roman scholar andrew wallace-hadrill.sted in ways of recapturing a picture of roman society as a whole. we've got great written sources for the romans, but with them there's always a suspicion that they represent the viewpoint of a thin upper crust. the great thing about pompeii is that, archaeologically, it preserves the full social spectrum from rich to poor. if you look at a standard plan of any part of pompeii, what you see is an extraordinary jumble of lines. and it's not until you start measuring and analyzing that a pattern emerges. what i've done is to group the houses according to size, from largest to smallest. what comes out is a jigsaw of tiny shops right next door to enormous mansions. here we have a shop -- one of dozens up and down pompeii. the way the eruption preserves things, you can tell exactly what was in these bins -- beans, chick peas, lentils... in fact, this guy was a grocer. the backyard here is full of empties -- amphorae which contained wine, olive oil and garum -- the unspeakable fish sauce wh

george wallace's is a novice in. the council and essentially adopted is cynical and blind attitude toward the possibility of democracy. cynicism is an appetite among them a judge. democracy requires measured judgment and informed citizens or willing to take responsibility. cynicism creance consumers who complain and have very little expectations and a very loose sense of citizenship. in that sense i think we're out of faith with what ought to be a great optimistic since. we have lot of serious problems. in the economy and has been stripped of its industrial base and facing international competition. the environmental problems. all these, where is our sense of confidence had weakened secco this together in the history of this and the bonds of it. across the lines of the-which is the essence of patriotism. that's what democracy is. in this instance, that is of more and live the king and the movement were doing, confronting systems that the nine people and natural strengths that benefit everyone and subjugate people and

george wallace pledges to defend segregation tfer. of course, he failedded, and when he failedded and the dam broke on segregation on the strength of the witness of those little kids that went to jail in birmingham, it broke not just for block people, but it broke for the disabledded, broke for the elderly, and it broke for women across the span. at that point, almost 2,000 years of jew -- judiac judaism, and never in history a female rabbi or cantor. that was considered a ridiculous notion. well, within just a few short years of the time that the civil rights movement got people struggling over what equal souls and equal votes means, really, down to its core, the first female rabbi was ordained, and now nobody thinks anything of it. there's female rabbis and cantors all over the place. one went on demonstrations, struggling within herself about what racial separation meant and not in the south. what i'm saying is as dr. king said, the freedom deeply beyond the racial system that was embedded in the united states, and it did that, and

ruth wallace came up with the idea of a garden tour and a lot of us thought, a garden tour?ur neighborhood? who is going to come? well, we had every -- we've done it for six years. every year we've grown incrementally. after the first two years of raising money for the library -- there's our new library -- we then it was such a great community builder that we recently decided to keep wanting to volunteering and do it. we established a scholarship at city college for the horticultural department. and we have just gone gangbusters. we get good press and we get to see everybody's neighbor -- all our neighbors' gardens. because of the way san francisco s you get to be veuyer because usually you have to go through their garage or their house to see the gardens. and ruth gets known through the neighborhood because she's constantly peeking over fences and leaving fliers in people's mailboxes saying, do you want to be on the garden tour, and all this sort of thing. but anyway, so, we've -- just to show you how much the neighborhood has gotten to know each other, all the people in th

it's interesting that gregory wallace, an african american man, was supposed to play mr. oge, an excentric neisei who likes literature. i thought it would be an interesting thing to do. but after a while we did a reading and we realized as good an actor as gregory is, it was pushing his limits for him to play a japanese american character in the late 40's. >> i imagine him as being much older. >> in the course of writing the play and using various actors, he became younger. this chinese actor is more like a character in his mid to late 30's, excentric, a career bachelor who is into russian literature and who fashions himself kind of patterned after the japanese artists of the 30's and 40's. he has round sort of glasses and a braid. but getting back to the question of creating characters, for example african american characters, i'm also caution -- i had written another play called johann that was about an african american gi and a japanese wife that got married in post war japan. i wrote that play 20 years ago. i wouldn't do it for about 8 years or so because i just didn'

but that's exactly what happened on fox news sunday sacre chris wallace repeatedly attacked n.r.a. president wayne la pierre over his organized organizations absurd claims and policy stances here's a clip from the interview. a couple of weeks ago the n.r.a. started running an ad that created a great deal of controversy mr la pierre do you regret putting up that ad the point of that ad was this one taken on the president's kids the president if you'd mentions the president's kids are safe and we're all thankful for it the point of their face the threat that most children do not face and tell that the people in newtown tell that the people who really think that the president's children are the same kind of target as every school child in america i think that's ridiculous and you know it's i'm you know it was later went on to make the point that armed security guards in the schools would prevent children from being caught killed at places like shopping malls or movie theaters and so on so kudos to chris wallace maybe he's starting to get it the n.r.a. is an organization to be feared i
