let me give you a couple of a couple of

66
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:32,000
points on today because this is

00:02:36,550 --> 00:02:34,640
today is a time when we celebrate the

68
00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:36,560
the life and legacy of the reverend dr

69
00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:38,319
martin luther king

70
00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:40,319
what i thought was most appropriate and

71
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:42,480
it should not have been lost on anybody

72
00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:43,760
in this forum

73
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:45,840
uh what was just absolutely incredible

74
00:02:49,830 --> 00:02:48,239
about the president being sworn in uh

75
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:49,840
this monday was it was martin luther

76
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:51,680
king day and um

77
00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:54,560
and he it was not lost on him either

78
00:02:59,190 --> 00:02:56,080
because i think most of you know he was

79
00:03:02,630 --> 00:02:59,200
sworn in on on a bible of dr king

80
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:02,640
uh he himself had had related it to the

81
00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:04,800
100 the fact that it was the 150th

82
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:06,800
anniversary of the emancipation

83
00:03:10,869 --> 00:03:09,120
proclamation the 50th anniversary of the

84
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:10,879
march on washington

85
00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:12,480
and he made reference to that several

86
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:14,800
times in his inaugural address

87
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:16,480
if you heard it

88
00:03:20,790 --> 00:03:18,720
it's also the 50th anniversary of the of

89
00:03:24,149 --> 00:03:20,800
the assassination of of john fitzgerald

90
00:03:26,869 --> 00:03:24,159
kennedy and medgar evers and uh if if

91
00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:26,879
any of you watched the inauguration you

92
00:03:32,229 --> 00:03:29,360
were privileged to hear uh merely ed

93
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:32,239
evers who is medgar evers widow uh

94
00:03:36,789 --> 00:03:35,200
deliver a stirring invocation uh for the

95
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:36,799
for the swearing-in

96
00:03:45,030 --> 00:03:41,840
um this is uh 1963 on this date uh was

97
00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:45,040
the the um the

98
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:47,680
bombing of the church in birmingham so

99
00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:49,360
there are a lot of things that we

100
00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:51,760
commemorate we don't don't necessarily

101
00:03:55,750 --> 00:03:53,200
celebrate i'm not sure that's a good

102
00:03:57,589 --> 00:03:55,760
word to use but we commemorate because

103
00:04:00,070 --> 00:03:57,599
we have to remember those things they're

104
00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:00,080
a critical part of our history and if we

105
00:04:04,229 --> 00:04:02,480
choose to forget them we will make the

106
00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:04,239
same mistakes over and over and over

107
00:04:09,030 --> 00:04:06,000
again so that's one of the things that's

108
00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:09,040
critical about about this particular day

109
00:04:13,429 --> 00:04:11,519
so i do want to welcome all of you here

110
00:04:15,110 --> 00:04:13,439
uh for what i hope will be a very

111
00:04:17,349 --> 00:04:15,120
inspiring program

112
00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:17,359
i will apologize up front because like i

113
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:19,840

114
00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:22,320
center directors and the aas i i tried

115
00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:24,800

using nonviolent inspired non-violence

170
00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:29,680
inspired by mahatma gandhi

171
00:06:34,309 --> 00:06:32,080
you know at his 63 march on washington

172
00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:34,319

dream speech

that speech

176

has been canonized as one of the

177

greatest pieces of american oratory

in 1964

179

181

work to end racial segregation and

182
00:06:56,790 --> 00:06:54,000
racial discrimination through civil

183
00:06:59,029 --> 00:06:56,800
disobedience and other non-violent means

184
00:07:00,830 --> 00:06:59,039
to commemorate dr king we have a program

185

188
00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:07,199
to share something with you because i

189

had a priv i was privileged to speak at

190
00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:13,199

and um and in that in my remarks there

194
00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:23,840
uh i tried to help people understand uh

195
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:25,120
why

196
00:07:29,189 --> 00:07:26,319
i know

197
00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:29,199
uh what we do here at nasa what we do to

198
00:07:35,110 --> 00:07:32,080
advance science and and exploration was

199
00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:35,120
not lost on dr king and at that time

200
00:07:40,870 --> 00:07:38,000
uh i mean i quoted a passage uh that was

201
00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:40,880
included in his 1964 nobel peace prize

202
00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:42,720
lecture uh where he talked about the

203
00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:44,400
role of science in the evolution of

204
00:07:47,909 --> 00:07:46,160
human consciousness so i'd just like to

205
00:07:50,230 --> 00:07:47,919
share that with you today before i

206
00:07:51,909 --> 00:07:50,240
depart and i quote

207
00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:51,919
he said modern man has brought this

208
00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:53,520
whole world to an awe-inspiring

209
00:07:57,990 --> 00:07:55,360
threshold of the future

210
00:08:00,150 --> 00:07:58,000
he has reached new and astonishing peaks

211
00:08:02,150 --> 00:08:00,160
of scientific success

212
00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:02,160
he has produced machines

213
00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:03,360
that think

214
00:08:07,350 --> 00:08:05,120
and instruments that peer into the

215
00:08:08,629 --> 00:08:07,360
unfathomable ranges of interstellar

216
00:08:10,710 --> 00:08:08,639
space

217
00:08:12,790 --> 00:08:10,720
he has built gigantic bridges to span

218
00:08:14,469 --> 00:08:12,800
the seas and gargantuan buildings to

219
00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:14,479
kiss the skies

220
00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:16,240
his airplanes and spaceships have

221
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:17,919
dwarfed distance

222
00:08:22,150 --> 00:08:19,759
placed time in chains and carved

223
00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:22,160
highways through the stratosphere

224
00:08:26,469 --> 00:08:24,000
yet in spite of these spectacular

225
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:26,479
strides in science and technology and

226
00:08:30,869 --> 00:08:28,560
still unlimited ones to come

227
00:08:33,350 --> 00:08:30,879
something basic is missing

228
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:33,360
we've learned to fly the air like birds

229
00:08:37,829 --> 00:08:36,000
and swim the sea like fish but we've not

230
00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:37,839
learned the simple art of living

231
00:08:42,149 --> 00:08:39,680
together as brothers

232
00:08:44,310 --> 00:08:42,159
so um i'd ask you to think about that on

233
00:08:47,829 --> 00:08:44,320
this day when we celebrate the legacy of

234
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:47,839
dr king we have come a long way

235
00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:50,560
long way as evidenced by the fact that

236
00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:53,200
we inaugurated for this second time

237
00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:55,040

238
00:08:58,550 --> 00:08:56,480

00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:03,120
long way but we still have a very long

242
00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:04,800
long way to go so i hope that you will

243
00:09:09,269 --> 00:09:07,200

00:13:01,430 --> 00:12:57,839
that was a beautiful introduction

336
00:13:03,590 --> 00:13:01,440
um i i remember a lot about the the

337
00:13:05,430 --> 00:13:03,600
rumple who when i was the evil queen

338
00:13:07,590 --> 00:13:05,440
this past summer and that was a lot of

339
00:13:10,949 --> 00:13:07,600
fun the children really

340
00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:13,350
i'm going to share a song with you that

341
00:13:21,350 --> 00:13:17,920
was a favorite of dr martin luther king

342
00:13:23,030 --> 00:13:21,360
it was a hymn that gave him a lot of

343
00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:23,040
encouragement

344
00:13:27,910 --> 00:13:24,720
because

345
00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:27,920
during the time when he was

346
00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:30,720
you know doing his movement

347
00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:33,680
his family was threatened his wife and

348
00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:36,240
his child his home was bombed

349
00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:39,680
and at that time as i was reading up on

350
00:13:43,189 --> 00:13:40,800
this

351
00:13:46,230 --> 00:13:43,199
he became very discouraged

352
00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:46,240
and at one point he even thought well

353
00:13:51,189 --> 00:13:48,560
should i really be doing this

354
00:13:53,990 --> 00:13:51,199
maybe i'm making a mistake because now

355
00:13:54,949 --> 00:13:54,000
my family's at risk his own life was at

356
00:13:57,269 --> 00:13:54,959
risk

357
00:13:58,550 --> 00:13:57,279
he'd been stabbed he had been locked up

358
00:13:59,990 --> 00:13:58,560
in jail

359
00:14:03,189 --> 00:14:00,000
and a lot of times he was very

360
00:14:05,189 --> 00:14:03,199
discouraged but this particular song

361
00:14:06,790 --> 00:14:05,199
gave him a lot

362
00:14:09,509 --> 00:14:06,800
of encouragement

363
00:14:11,829 --> 00:14:09,519
and told him that he has to go on

364
00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:11,839
because his eye is on

365
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:39,269
oh

366
00:14:43,670 --> 00:14:40,790
why

367
00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:43,680
should i feel

368
00:14:52,629 --> 00:14:49,670
and why

369
00:14:57,269 --> 00:14:52,639
should the shadows

370
00:15:06,470 --> 00:15:01,430
why should my heart

371
00:15:16,150 --> 00:15:09,030
longing

372
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,750
when jesus

373
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:29,269
is my portion

374
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:42,949

375
00:15:46,509 --> 00:15:45,189
and i know

376
00:16:07,189 --> 00:15:46,519
he

377
00:16:10,949 --> 00:16:09,590

because i'm happy

381
00:16:46,790 --> 00:16:23,509
see because

382
00:16:50,550 --> 00:16:48,230
and during that time of his

383
00:16:53,269 --> 00:16:50,560
discouragement i know he could hear the

384
00:16:55,509 --> 00:16:53,279
lord just speaking to him

385
00:16:57,189 --> 00:16:55,519
and giving him the encouragement by

386
00:17:01,509 --> 00:16:57,199
quoting to him

387
00:17:10,549 --> 00:17:04,470
and let not your heart

a wonderful rendition thank you for that

401
00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:56,559
we're going to keep the inner

402
00:20:01,190 --> 00:19:59,280
jedi juices flowing today by

403
00:20:03,669 --> 00:20:01,200
bringing up and

404
00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:03,679
allowing you to hear a marvelous poem

405
00:20:11,029 --> 00:20:08,240
the poem is entitled the road not taken

406
00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:11,039
we'd like to introduce a retired nasa

407
00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:13,840
employee and former nasa headquarters

408
00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:16,240
big chapter i would like to bring to the

409
00:20:41,590 --> 00:20:36,710
good morning nasa

410
00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:44,310
dreams are not renewable

411
00:20:49,669 --> 00:20:46,840
no matter what our condition or

412
00:20:53,029 --> 00:20:49,679
age there are still untapped

413
00:20:54,710 --> 00:20:53,039
possibilities within us and new beauty

414
00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:54,720
waiting to be born

415
00:20:59,830 --> 00:20:57,760
a quote by dr dale turner

416
00:21:04,549 --> 00:20:59,840
in honor of dr king the selection i have

417
00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:07,830
two roads diverged in a yellow wood

418
00:21:14,789 --> 00:21:11,280
and sorry i could not travel both

419
00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:14,799
and be one traveler long i stood

420
00:21:21,510 --> 00:21:17,520
and looked down one as far as i could

421
00:21:24,710 --> 00:21:21,520
to where it bent and the undergrowth

422
00:21:28,470 --> 00:21:24,720
then took the other as just as fair

423
00:21:32,549 --> 00:21:28,480
and having perhaps the better claim

424
00:21:33,510 --> 00:21:32,559
because it was grassy and wanted where

425
00:21:35,830 --> 00:21:33,520
though

426
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:35,840
as for that the passing there

427
00:21:42,789 --> 00:21:39,520
had worn them really about the same

428
00:21:47,909 --> 00:21:42,799
and both that morning equally laid

429
00:21:55,029 --> 00:21:51,110
oh i kept the first for another day

430
00:21:58,630 --> 00:21:55,039
yet knowing how way leads on to weight

431
00:22:01,830 --> 00:21:58,640
i doubt it if i should ever come back

432
00:22:05,590 --> 00:22:01,840
i shall be telling this with a sigh

433
00:22:09,110 --> 00:22:05,600
somewhere ages and ages hence

434
00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:09,120
two roads diverged and it would and i

435
00:22:15,350 --> 00:22:12,480
i took the one last traveled by and that

436
00:22:17,750 --> 00:22:15,360
has made all the difference

437
00:22:19,669 --> 00:22:17,760
dr king whom we honor today took the

438
00:22:37,110 --> 00:22:19,679
road less traveled

439
00:22:41,909 --> 00:22:39,190
this time we'd actually like to bring

440
00:22:43,830 --> 00:22:41,919
miss tijuana roundtree back to the stage

441
00:22:54,870 --> 00:22:43,840
again she's going to honor us with

442
00:22:58,310 --> 00:22:56,230
thank you very much

443
00:23:00,549 --> 00:22:58,320
i thought that this song that i'm about

444
00:23:01,909 --> 00:23:00,559
to share for you would be very very

445
00:23:05,029 --> 00:23:01,919
appropriate

446
00:23:06,230 --> 00:23:05,039
especially since um it was made very

447
00:23:07,190 --> 00:23:06,240
popular

448
00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:07,200
um

449
00:23:11,909 --> 00:23:09,840
maybe not to a lot of us because it's

450
00:23:15,190 --> 00:23:11,919
pretty new to me as well

451
00:23:18,070 --> 00:23:15,200
um back in 2008

452
00:23:19,669 --> 00:23:18,080
when they had the national olympics

453
00:23:22,230 --> 00:23:19,679
and also

454
00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:22,240
when president obama was elected

455
00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:23,840
president

456
00:23:26,950 --> 00:23:24,880
and

457
00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:26,960
we were all always

458
00:23:31,750 --> 00:23:30,000
also commemorating dr martin luther king

459
00:23:34,310 --> 00:23:31,760
at that time

460
00:23:36,390 --> 00:23:34,320
and this song

461
00:23:38,549 --> 00:23:36,400
that i just received two days ago i'm

462
00:23:41,269 --> 00:23:38,559
going to have a cheat sheet here but i

463
00:23:43,269 --> 00:23:41,279
have to share it because it talks about

464
00:23:45,110 --> 00:23:43,279
the power of the dream

465
00:23:47,110 --> 00:23:45,120
dr martin luther king

466
00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:47,120
had a dream

467
00:23:53,669 --> 00:23:50,400
and he dreamed of hope and peace and

468
00:23:55,990 --> 00:23:53,679
love for all he dreamed that we could

469
00:23:58,870 --> 00:23:56,000
all work together

470
00:24:02,230 --> 00:23:58,880
and have equal opportunity

471
00:24:04,630 --> 00:24:02,240
regardless the color of our skin

472
00:24:07,110 --> 00:24:04,640
and he worked very hard for his dream

473
00:24:09,190 --> 00:24:07,120
now it is our turn

474
00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:09,200
to live out the dream

475
00:24:32,789 --> 00:24:28,870
deep within each heart

476
00:24:39,029 --> 00:24:32,799
there lies a magic spark

477
00:24:46,310 --> 00:24:42,230
and since the dawn of man

478
00:24:49,669 --> 00:24:46,320
the strength of just i can

479
00:24:52,870 --> 00:24:49,679
has brought together people of

480
00:24:55,669 --> 00:24:52,880
all nations

481
00:24:59,110 --> 00:24:55,679
there's nothing ordinary

482
00:25:03,110 --> 00:24:59,120
in the living of each day

483
00:25:05,510 --> 00:25:03,120
there's a special part every one of us

484
00:25:09,110 --> 00:25:05,520
will play

485
00:25:13,029 --> 00:25:09,120
feel the flame forever

486
00:25:14,789 --> 00:25:13,039
teaching lessons we must learn to bring

487
00:25:18,950 --> 00:25:14,799
us closer to

488
00:25:26,710 --> 00:25:23,350
as the world gives us its best

489
00:25:29,590 --> 00:25:26,720
to go beyond all of the rest it is the

490
00:25:41,750 --> 00:25:29,600
power of the dream

491
00:25:48,470 --> 00:25:44,950
your mind has brought you far

492
00:25:50,789 --> 00:25:48,480
the rest is just your heart

493
00:26:04,149 --> 00:25:50,799
you'll find your fate

494
00:26:21,430 --> 00:26:08,070
hope and inspiration

495
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:31,590
the world unites

496
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:43,990
that brings us

497
00:26:51,590 --> 00:26:47,590
there's so much strength in all of us

498
00:26:54,870 --> 00:26:51,600
every woman child and man

499
00:26:58,870 --> 00:26:54,880
it's knowing that you think you can't

500
00:27:15,510 --> 00:26:58,880
you discover that you can

501
00:27:15,520 --> 00:28:15,510
peace

502
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:45,590
to realize

503
00:28:50,230 --> 00:28:47,269
there's nothing like good music to get

504
00:28:52,549 --> 00:28:50,240
our spirits flowing right

505
00:28:54,549 --> 00:28:52,559
the next part of our program today

506
00:28:56,710 --> 00:28:54,559
brings an individual to the stage that

to know in

610
00:34:44,069 --> 00:34:41,440

611
00:34:46,389 --> 00:34:44,079
opportunity they have a responsibility

612
00:34:49,109 --> 00:34:46,399
there are lots of different roads that

613
00:34:51,510 --> 00:34:49,119
they can take but sometimes the ones

614
00:34:53,349 --> 00:34:51,520
that are the most successful are the

615
00:34:54,389 --> 00:34:53,359
ones less

616
00:34:57,109 --> 00:34:54,399

619
00:35:05,030 --> 00:35:02,480
alumni of the university of iowa for

620
00:35:06,550 --> 00:35:05,040
being here uh kali please don't tell

621
00:35:08,550 --> 00:35:06,560
them how we used to act when we were in

622
00:35:10,230 --> 00:35:08,560
undergrad they would run me out of here

623
00:35:11,510 --> 00:35:10,240
immediately

624
00:35:14,310 --> 00:35:11,520
but

625
00:35:17,430 --> 00:35:14,320
what we want to do here

626
00:35:20,950 --> 00:35:17,440
in this program called civil wrongs and

627
00:35:21,829 --> 00:35:20,960
civil rights is start to understand dr

628
00:35:28,470 --> 00:35:21,839
king

629
00:35:30,390 --> 00:35:28,480
than we thought he was more substantial

630
00:35:33,510 --> 00:35:30,400
than we believed

631
00:35:35,750 --> 00:35:33,520
um history sometimes in america is

632
00:35:37,349 --> 00:35:35,760
looked at in this little bitty shell or

633
00:35:39,829 --> 00:35:37,359
looked at from events from events to

634
00:35:41,190 --> 00:35:39,839
events to events but never look that in

635
00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:41,200
a broad

636
00:35:44,069 --> 00:35:42,400
perspective and that's what we're going

637
00:35:46,790 --> 00:35:44,079
to do today we're going to look at the

638
00:35:49,510 --> 00:35:46,800
civil rights movement not just starting

639
00:35:51,109 --> 00:35:49,520
in the 50s or the 60s but through the

640
00:35:53,349 --> 00:35:51,119
entirety

641
00:35:57,670 --> 00:35:53,359
of the 20th century so you can get a

642
00:36:00,630 --> 00:35:57,680
full understanding of who dr king was

643
00:36:04,310 --> 00:36:00,640
why he was important and why he really

644
00:36:06,069 --> 00:36:04,320
is more significant than we see cornell

645
00:36:08,950 --> 00:36:06,079
west said that

646
00:36:12,870 --> 00:36:08,960
dr king has gone through a santa

647
00:36:18,150 --> 00:36:16,069
meaning that he has been reinvented for

648
00:36:19,910 --> 00:36:18,160
the contemporary audience and we're just

649
00:36:23,670 --> 00:36:19,920
going to look at some things so we can

650
00:36:25,190 --> 00:36:23,680
get a better understanding for him and

651
00:36:29,030 --> 00:36:25,200
the movement let's move on to the first

652
00:36:34,230 --> 00:36:32,310
first of all you have to understand that

653
00:36:35,670 --> 00:36:34,240
the civil rights movement was not this

654
00:36:37,829 --> 00:36:35,680
little bitty

655
00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:37,839
uh 40-month or

656
00:36:42,790 --> 00:36:40,480
20-year uh issue

657
00:36:45,109 --> 00:36:42,800
oh thank you

658
00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:45,119
brought me water

659
00:36:50,550 --> 00:36:48,800
um it was much bigger and much longer

660
00:36:53,030 --> 00:36:50,560
you see you have to get out of the

661
00:36:55,109 --> 00:36:53,040
mindset that it was this big

662
00:36:56,710 --> 00:36:55,119
uh because it was even bigger and when

663
00:36:59,349 --> 00:36:56,720
you think about it the civil rights

664
00:37:01,750 --> 00:36:59,359
movement had been going on a long time

665
00:37:03,670 --> 00:37:01,760
because if you were on a slave ship

666
00:37:05,670 --> 00:37:03,680
and someone was taking you somewhere you

667
00:37:07,349 --> 00:37:05,680
hadn't gone before and you fought back

668
00:37:08,950 --> 00:37:07,359
guess what that was a civil rights

669
00:37:11,910 --> 00:37:08,960
movement too but we're just going to

670
00:37:14,470 --> 00:37:11,920
talk about it in the 20th century uh in

671
00:37:16,710 --> 00:37:14,480
the souls of black folks uh w.e.b dubois

672
00:37:19,670 --> 00:37:16,720
said something very interesting he said

673
00:37:22,710 --> 00:37:19,680
that the problem of the 20th century

674
00:37:24,950 --> 00:37:22,720
will be the problem of the color line

675
00:37:26,710 --> 00:37:24,960
how would he know that in 1903 how did

676
00:37:28,950 --> 00:37:26,720
he know that a civil rights movement has

677
00:37:31,030 --> 00:37:28,960
come was coming because one had already

678
00:37:32,870 --> 00:37:31,040
existed that he had participated in

679
00:37:36,790 --> 00:37:32,880
being the first african-american to get

680
00:37:37,589 --> 00:37:36,800
a ph.d at harvard university

681
00:37:39,109 --> 00:37:37,599
right

682
00:37:41,910 --> 00:37:39,119
let's move on to

683
00:37:45,390 --> 00:37:41,920
another uh next slide

684
00:37:48,829 --> 00:37:45,400
let's move on to the founding of the

685
00:37:52,630 --> 00:37:48,839
naacp the oldest civil rights

686
00:37:55,270 --> 00:37:52,640
organization in the united states very

687
00:37:58,710 --> 00:37:55,280
interesting you would think uh based on

688
00:38:01,670 --> 00:37:58,720
these two individuals uh ida b wells and

689
00:38:03,510 --> 00:38:01,680
w.e.b du bois out of the nine

690
00:38:06,390 --> 00:38:03,520
individuals

691
00:38:08,790 --> 00:38:06,400
who founded the naacp only two were

692
00:38:10,310 --> 00:38:08,800
black and those are the two

693
00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:10,320
who never think about that so we're

694
00:38:14,470 --> 00:38:12,000
looking at from the civil rights and the

695
00:38:16,950 --> 00:38:14,480
civil wrongs the civil rights lord we're

696
00:38:18,870 --> 00:38:16,960
happy that they started the naacp but

697
00:38:21,349 --> 00:38:18,880
the civil wrong is that we don't know

698
00:38:25,030 --> 00:38:21,359
that only two african-americans were the

699
00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:25,040
founders of that civil rights

700
00:38:29,670 --> 00:38:26,480
organizations

701
00:38:31,030 --> 00:38:29,680
one of their main issues next slide

702
00:38:34,630 --> 00:38:31,040
please

703
00:38:37,270 --> 00:38:34,640
that was very important during uh the

704
00:38:39,990 --> 00:38:37,280
20th century and now understand a lot of

705
00:38:41,829 --> 00:38:40,000
historiography the study the learning

706
00:38:45,030 --> 00:38:41,839
the understanding of history for the

707
00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:45,040
20th century it's really nice and really

708
00:38:50,390 --> 00:38:47,760
sweet and really dainty we're only going

709
00:38:52,390 --> 00:38:50,400
to put the good stuff in here but there

710
00:38:53,990 --> 00:38:52,400
was a time from the end of

711
00:38:57,349 --> 00:38:54,000
reconstruction

712
00:39:00,150 --> 00:38:57,359
to the end of the first war war

713
00:39:03,589 --> 00:39:00,160
where they lynched a black person on

714
00:39:04,950 --> 00:39:03,599
average three a week for 40

715
00:39:07,510 --> 00:39:04,960
straight

716
00:39:10,069 --> 00:39:07,520
years

717
00:39:13,990 --> 00:39:10,079
and you were lucky if a lynching for you

718
00:39:16,710 --> 00:39:14,000
was just being hung as we know they

719
00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:16,720
consisted of burnings

720
00:39:20,950 --> 00:39:18,560
of mutilations

721
00:39:22,870 --> 00:39:20,960
okay we'll ask you to do your additional

722
00:39:24,550 --> 00:39:22,880
research to find out what type of

723
00:39:25,910 --> 00:39:24,560
mutilations

724
00:39:28,310 --> 00:39:25,920
okay

725
00:39:31,829 --> 00:39:28,320
but it was very important because it was

726
00:39:34,069 --> 00:39:31,839
a problem over uh 80 women

727
00:39:36,870 --> 00:39:34,079
were lynched as well it wasn't just a

728
00:39:39,349 --> 00:39:36,880
male dominated uh uh people that were

729
00:39:43,349 --> 00:39:39,359
perpetuated against were males women

730
00:39:46,550 --> 00:39:43,359
were lynched as well and the naacp

731
00:39:48,790 --> 00:39:46,560
played a part in that let's move on to

732
00:39:51,190 --> 00:39:48,800
the next slide

733
00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:54,150
when we think about leaders of the civil

734
00:40:00,950 --> 00:39:57,040
rights movement we immediately

735
00:40:03,190 --> 00:40:00,960
think to martin luther king jr and

736
00:40:05,750 --> 00:40:03,200
nobody's saying that we shouldn't

737
00:40:08,470 --> 00:40:05,760
but to talk about the civil rights

738
00:40:12,870 --> 00:40:08,480
movement of the first part

739
00:40:16,069 --> 00:40:12,880
of the 20th century and not talk about a

740
00:40:19,270 --> 00:40:16,079
philip randolph is

741
00:40:23,510 --> 00:40:19,280
mean it's wrong it's incorrect it's

742
00:40:25,990 --> 00:40:23,520
impossible he is the dr king before

743
00:40:28,870 --> 00:40:26,000
dr king why would you say something like

744
00:40:31,270 --> 00:40:28,880
that because in 1941

745
00:40:34,150 --> 00:40:31,280
along with an individual who i'm going

746
00:40:34,950 --> 00:40:34,160
to talk about who was a mentor to dr

747
00:40:36,790 --> 00:40:34,960
king

748
00:40:39,190 --> 00:40:36,800
who taught him about non-violence

749
00:40:42,150 --> 00:40:39,200
protest practices and procedures and

750
00:40:45,670 --> 00:40:42,160
another guy by the name of aj musty

751
00:40:48,710 --> 00:40:45,680
they staged a march on washington dc way

752
00:40:51,430 --> 00:40:48,720
back in 1941.

753
00:40:53,910 --> 00:40:51,440
why because it was important they

754
00:40:58,550 --> 00:40:53,920
thought for african americans and people

755
00:41:02,069 --> 00:40:58,560
of color to be included in on the monies

756
00:41:03,910 --> 00:41:02,079
that go along with war okay

757
00:41:04,950 --> 00:41:03,920
um that

758
00:41:15,589 --> 00:41:04,960
uh

759
00:41:18,630 --> 00:41:15,599
to have their requests met

760
00:41:21,109 --> 00:41:18,640
hey phillip randolph let's move on up

761
00:41:24,069 --> 00:41:21,119
next slide please now in the

762
00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:24,079
desegregation of the military and this

763
00:41:28,309 --> 00:41:26,160
talks about the tuskegee airmen we know

764
00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:28,319
that the tuskegee airmen that african

765
00:41:35,750 --> 00:41:31,920
americans played a influential part

766
00:41:38,470 --> 00:41:35,760
okay tuskegee airmen also whack nurses

767
00:41:40,950 --> 00:41:38,480
also the 761st

768
00:41:44,230 --> 00:41:40,960
uh african-american tank battalion that

769
00:41:46,870 --> 00:41:44,240
pushed into germany very important and

770
00:41:51,510 --> 00:41:46,880
how about these gentlemen who we never

771
00:41:53,829 --> 00:41:51,520
heard about now we heard that uh that 9

772
00:41:58,470 --> 00:41:53,839
11 was the first time that america had

773
00:42:00,309 --> 00:41:58,480
ever been attacked on american soil

774
00:42:03,109 --> 00:42:00,319
not true

775
00:42:05,190 --> 00:42:03,119
during world war ii

776
00:42:08,230 --> 00:42:05,200
did somebody laugh

777
00:42:11,430 --> 00:42:08,240
thank you um

778
00:42:16,790 --> 00:42:11,440
the japanese would put

779
00:42:19,510 --> 00:42:16,800
incendiary devices fire bombs on huge um

780
00:42:22,309 --> 00:42:19,520
balloons and float them up to the upper

781
00:42:26,309 --> 00:42:22,319
part of the stratosphere those balloons

782
00:42:29,109 --> 00:42:26,319
floated over the pacific ocean and

783
00:42:32,230 --> 00:42:29,119
landed and exploded in the northwest

784
00:42:35,589 --> 00:42:32,240
and caused forest fires and a

785
00:42:38,270 --> 00:42:35,599
paratrooper troop called the triple

786
00:42:41,109 --> 00:42:38,280
nickel paratroop troop who was of

787
00:42:43,910 --> 00:42:41,119
african-american paratroopers were used

788
00:42:46,150 --> 00:42:43,920
to put those forest fires out but

789
00:42:49,030 --> 00:42:46,160
operation firefly

790
00:42:49,990 --> 00:42:49,040
as it was called was classified top

791
00:42:52,390 --> 00:42:50,000
secret

792
00:42:54,470 --> 00:42:52,400
as to not cause a scare

793
00:42:56,870 --> 00:42:54,480
and no one knew until this information

794
00:42:59,750 --> 00:42:56,880
was declassified within the past 20 30

795
00:43:02,390 --> 00:42:59,760
years the civil right about it is that

796
00:43:04,510 --> 00:43:02,400
we're glad that um

797
00:43:08,950 --> 00:43:04,520
except executive order

798
00:43:11,910 --> 00:43:08,960
9981 by harry s truman uh was put into

799
00:43:14,550 --> 00:43:11,920
effect that desegregated the military

800
00:43:17,670 --> 00:43:14,560
but the civil wrong about it is we don't

801
00:43:22,309 --> 00:43:17,680
know the the entirety of how

802
00:43:23,750 --> 00:43:22,319
much african americans played a part in

803
00:43:32,790 --> 00:43:23,760
the

804
00:43:33,829 --> 00:43:32,800
slide

805
00:43:36,710 --> 00:43:33,839
now

806
00:43:39,670 --> 00:43:36,720
brown versus board of education topeka

807
00:43:41,589 --> 00:43:39,680
kansas we're talking about all the stuff

808
00:43:43,990 --> 00:43:41,599
that was important to the civil rights

809
00:43:46,069 --> 00:43:44,000
movement because this was prior to who

810
00:43:48,550 --> 00:43:46,079
this is prior to dr king coming on the

811
00:43:50,870 --> 00:43:48,560
scene and we have to understand that

812
00:43:53,430 --> 00:43:50,880
just like we stand on someone's

813
00:43:54,470 --> 00:43:53,440
shoulders just like we were helped by

814
00:43:57,190 --> 00:43:54,480
friends

815
00:44:00,550 --> 00:43:57,200
family colleagues to get to wherever we

816
00:44:03,750 --> 00:44:00,560
are right now that dr king also stood on

817
00:44:06,470 --> 00:44:03,760
shoulders to where it was that he was uh

818
00:44:09,589 --> 00:44:06,480
to uh as we talk about this idea of

819
00:44:11,510 --> 00:44:09,599
moving forward he had to start somewhere

820
00:44:13,750 --> 00:44:11,520
to move forward and there was someone

821
00:44:15,910 --> 00:44:13,760
before him that assisted him and do that

822
00:44:17,910 --> 00:44:15,920
and that's all we want to talk about as

823
00:44:20,790 --> 00:44:17,920
well before we talk about uh how

824
00:44:23,589 --> 00:44:20,800
incredible dr king was but the brown

825
00:44:25,430 --> 00:44:23,599
versus board of education topeka kansas

826
00:44:28,150 --> 00:44:25,440
we know the story of the young girl that

827
00:44:30,950 --> 00:44:28,160
was made to walk several blocks through

828
00:44:33,990 --> 00:44:30,960
a train switching yard putting her life

829
00:44:37,589 --> 00:44:34,000
in danger to go to school

830
00:44:40,470 --> 00:44:37,599
and uh thurgood marshall along with jack

831
00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:40,480
greenberg and others uh

832
00:44:45,190 --> 00:44:43,280
argued the notion but separate but equal

833
00:44:47,829 --> 00:44:45,200
and the schools were desegregated now

834
00:44:50,710 --> 00:44:47,839
the civil right about it was that they

835
00:44:53,109 --> 00:44:50,720
won that case but the civil wrong about

836
00:44:56,069 --> 00:44:53,119
it is that in the decision they said

837
00:44:59,990 --> 00:44:56,079
that schools shall be desegregated with

838
00:45:01,430 --> 00:45:00,000
all deliberate speed

839
00:45:02,870 --> 00:45:01,440
now if i told you to give me five

840
00:45:05,109 --> 00:45:02,880
dollars with all deliberate speeds you

841
00:45:07,589 --> 00:45:05,119
could give it to me in five seconds

842
00:45:09,430 --> 00:45:07,599
or 50 years

843
00:45:11,910 --> 00:45:09,440
and as some of you would know who

844
00:45:14,550 --> 00:45:11,920
participated that some schools didn't

845
00:45:16,550 --> 00:45:14,560
get desegregated till busing until when

846
00:45:19,270 --> 00:45:16,560
the 70s

847
00:45:20,230 --> 00:45:19,280
so you're talking about 15 20 years

848
00:45:21,109 --> 00:45:20,240
later

849
00:45:25,829 --> 00:45:21,119
okay

850
00:45:31,270 --> 00:45:25,839
something i'm very happy to talk about

851
00:45:35,910 --> 00:45:33,750
now if i said i

852
00:45:37,190 --> 00:45:35,920
guess you

853
00:45:44,069 --> 00:45:37,200
say

854
00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:54,950
come on come on

855
00:46:00,710 --> 00:45:57,750
so to talk about how important the

856
00:46:04,069 --> 00:46:00,720
motown sound was not just for our

857
00:46:06,710 --> 00:46:04,079
listening in our entertainment but also

858
00:46:08,470 --> 00:46:06,720
to the civil rights movement i'm so

859
00:46:10,870 --> 00:46:08,480
happy to say that i'm from there visit

860
00:46:12,630 --> 00:46:10,880
that place i had a chance to interview

861
00:46:15,990 --> 00:46:12,640
actually uh

862
00:46:19,349 --> 00:46:16,000
barry gordy's sister to talk about uh uh

863
00:46:21,589 --> 00:46:19,359
his rise to fame he had he worked for

864
00:46:24,790 --> 00:46:21,599
the automobile company decided he was a

865
00:46:27,270 --> 00:46:24,800
jazz aficionado to start a jazz record

866
00:46:29,430 --> 00:46:27,280
shop and he sold jazz records

867
00:46:31,750 --> 00:46:29,440
thank god that record shop went out of

868
00:46:33,829 --> 00:46:31,760
business

869
00:46:36,150 --> 00:46:33,839
because he had a notion

870
00:46:39,190 --> 00:46:36,160
he said i want to bring

871
00:46:42,870 --> 00:46:39,200
music to the mainstream

872
00:46:46,790 --> 00:46:42,880
because black music at the time wasn't

873
00:46:48,790 --> 00:46:46,800
as it is right now you wouldn't have um

874
00:46:51,430 --> 00:46:48,800
any black artists performing at the

875
00:46:53,589 --> 00:46:51,440
inauguration back in the 40s and the 50s

876
00:46:54,470 --> 00:46:53,599
right

877
00:46:57,990 --> 00:46:54,480
so

878
00:47:00,790 --> 00:46:58,000
he said i want to bring african-american

879
00:47:02,309 --> 00:47:00,800
artists to the mainstream artist now how

880
00:47:05,750 --> 00:47:02,319
am i going to do this

881
00:47:07,589 --> 00:47:05,760
and he used almost a assembly line

882
00:47:09,190 --> 00:47:07,599
process he said i'm going to get

883
00:47:13,270 --> 00:47:09,200
good-looking

884
00:47:15,510 --> 00:47:13,280
young african-americans who could sing

885
00:47:17,030 --> 00:47:15,520
okay uh

886
00:47:18,790 --> 00:47:17,040
i want to say a lip sync joke but i'm

887
00:47:19,990 --> 00:47:18,800
not gonna do it

888
00:47:20,870 --> 00:47:20,000
um

889
00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:20,880
who

890
00:47:24,790 --> 00:47:22,000
uh

891
00:47:28,150 --> 00:47:24,800
were trained in how to dance

892
00:47:31,349 --> 00:47:28,160
how to do their hair how to dress and

893
00:47:33,349 --> 00:47:31,359
all different types of uh settings so

894
00:47:36,230 --> 00:47:33,359
when they went on shows

895
00:47:38,710 --> 00:47:36,240
what had been seen of black music before

896
00:47:41,349 --> 00:47:38,720
like big mama thornton and other

897
00:47:43,910 --> 00:47:41,359
individuals black music was like in the

898
00:47:46,309 --> 00:47:43,920
background and motown helped bring black

899
00:47:49,430 --> 00:47:46,319
music to the forefront along with some

900
00:47:51,670 --> 00:47:49,440
other uh music companies but when you

901
00:47:55,990 --> 00:47:51,680
saw african-american

902
00:47:58,230 --> 00:47:56,000
on tv uh singing and looking differently

903
00:48:01,190 --> 00:47:58,240
than you had been told and believed

904
00:48:04,790 --> 00:48:01,200
about and songs that you can relate to

905
00:48:06,470 --> 00:48:04,800
who can't relate to my girl right those

906
00:48:09,109 --> 00:48:06,480
are songs that were

907
00:48:11,430 --> 00:48:09,119
uh universal singing about love singing

908
00:48:15,030 --> 00:48:11,440
about heartbreak uh singing about those

909
00:48:18,150 --> 00:48:15,040
things and the motown sound was so very

910
00:48:19,349 --> 00:48:18,160
important to the civil rights movement

911
00:48:22,390 --> 00:48:19,359
and how

912
00:48:25,589 --> 00:48:22,400
americans were viewed in the country uh

913
00:48:28,309 --> 00:48:25,599
at that time uh um

914
00:48:30,309 --> 00:48:28,319
okay let's move on to the next slide

915
00:48:34,069 --> 00:48:30,319
now

916
00:48:36,950 --> 00:48:34,079
this story is so very important

917
00:48:39,589 --> 00:48:36,960
many of us have heard the story of the

918
00:48:43,990 --> 00:48:39,599
african american youth

919
00:48:46,790 --> 00:48:44,000
coming from the south side of chicago

920
00:48:49,190 --> 00:48:46,800
whose grandfather mose wright

921
00:48:51,589 --> 00:48:49,200
invited him to come down

922
00:48:53,990 --> 00:48:51,599
and on this particular

923
00:48:55,030 --> 00:48:54,000
summer vacation if you will

924
00:48:57,990 --> 00:48:55,040
working

925
00:49:00,309 --> 00:48:58,000
on the farm of his father or of his

926
00:49:03,349 --> 00:49:00,319
great uh great grand aunt if you will

927
00:49:05,270 --> 00:49:03,359
mo's wright it's so hot

928
00:49:06,790 --> 00:49:05,280
that the boys who were with him his

929
00:49:09,270 --> 00:49:06,800
cousin and others

930
00:49:12,630 --> 00:49:09,280
were shepherding into a car and went to

931
00:49:15,670 --> 00:49:12,640
the town of money mississippi

932
00:49:18,630 --> 00:49:15,680
where they filed into the local

933
00:49:22,150 --> 00:49:18,640
convenience store to buy candy to buy

934
00:49:25,589 --> 00:49:22,160
soda now what exactly happened

935
00:49:28,230 --> 00:49:25,599
inside of that store we're not exactly

936
00:49:29,109 --> 00:49:28,240
sure some people say that talking to the

937
00:49:31,750 --> 00:49:29,119
white

938
00:49:35,430 --> 00:49:31,760
convenience or owner's wife by the last

939
00:49:38,630 --> 00:49:35,440
name of bryant uh that he said hey baby

940
00:49:39,670 --> 00:49:38,640
or that he did a cat call

941
00:49:42,390 --> 00:49:39,680
okay

942
00:49:45,109 --> 00:49:42,400
but we're not exactly sure but what

943
00:49:46,150 --> 00:49:45,119
precipitated that event was that he had

944
00:49:49,030 --> 00:49:46,160
a picture

945
00:49:51,910 --> 00:49:49,040
of a segregated classroom

946
00:49:54,470 --> 00:49:51,920
and in it he was

947
00:49:56,870 --> 00:49:54,480
shown with white classmates

948
00:49:58,390 --> 00:49:56,880
and he was bragging about the girls and

949
00:50:01,109 --> 00:49:58,400
all of this business

950
00:50:03,349 --> 00:50:01,119
and one of his his friends down there

951
00:50:05,109 --> 00:50:03,359
said well if uh you got white

952
00:50:07,190 --> 00:50:05,119
girlfriends in chicago say something to

953
00:50:10,470 --> 00:50:07,200
that white lady inside that store

954
00:50:12,470 --> 00:50:10,480
so that's what precipitated the incident

955
00:50:14,870 --> 00:50:12,480
and then what occurred was

956
00:50:17,349 --> 00:50:14,880
when whatever happened she ran out they

957
00:50:19,270 --> 00:50:17,359
left out and they filed in the car but

958
00:50:21,190 --> 00:50:19,280
they made a

959
00:50:23,270 --> 00:50:21,200
tragic mistake

960
00:50:26,309 --> 00:50:23,280
they never told

961
00:50:29,030 --> 00:50:26,319
the uncle what had happened because if

962
00:50:32,150 --> 00:50:29,040
he would have known what had happened he

963
00:50:33,829 --> 00:50:32,160
would have known what to do next

964
00:50:35,190 --> 00:50:33,839
one night went by

965
00:50:36,230 --> 00:50:35,200
nothing happened

966
00:50:37,270 --> 00:50:36,240
two nights

967
00:50:38,549 --> 00:50:37,280
go by

968
00:50:43,109 --> 00:50:38,559
nothing happened

969
00:50:44,710 --> 00:50:43,119
but on the third jet black dark night

970
00:50:47,510 --> 00:50:44,720
two individuals

971
00:50:51,030 --> 00:50:47,520
by the name of bryant the husband of

972
00:50:54,950 --> 00:50:51,040
that woman and milan come to the house

973
00:50:56,309 --> 00:50:54,960
with flashlights and guns and they asked

974
00:50:59,190 --> 00:50:56,319
mose wright

975
00:51:01,589 --> 00:50:59,200
out of all of the house of full of boys

976
00:51:03,030 --> 00:51:01,599
think about this position that he was in

977
00:51:05,109 --> 00:51:03,040
they asked him

978
00:51:07,190 --> 00:51:05,119
which one did the talking

979
00:51:09,030 --> 00:51:07,200
and then his uncle had to make a

980
00:51:12,630 --> 00:51:09,040
decision

981
00:51:15,109 --> 00:51:12,640
on which individual you're going to say

982
00:51:16,549 --> 00:51:15,119
that he knows because he said just give

983
00:51:18,870 --> 00:51:16,559
him a beating

984
00:51:20,549 --> 00:51:18,880
when they asked for him so they picked

985
00:51:23,190 --> 00:51:20,559
out emmett till

986
00:51:24,950 --> 00:51:23,200
they grabbed him they shined the light

987
00:51:27,589 --> 00:51:24,960
on him

988
00:51:29,589 --> 00:51:27,599
to the car and say is this him

989
00:51:31,910 --> 00:51:29,599
female voice that's him

990
00:51:33,829 --> 00:51:31,920
so at that point emmett till was never

991
00:51:36,230 --> 00:51:33,839
found again but this is why it was

992
00:51:38,710 --> 00:51:36,240
important to the civil rights movement

993
00:51:41,190 --> 00:51:38,720
13 14 year old boy

994
00:51:42,150 --> 00:51:41,200
when he was found in the tallahatchie

995
00:51:46,470 --> 00:51:42,160
river

996
00:51:49,190 --> 00:51:46,480
with a 75 pound cotton gin fan tied

997
00:51:51,750 --> 00:51:49,200
around his neck with bob wire after

998
00:51:54,870 --> 00:51:51,760
being shot in the head broken bones

999
00:51:58,950 --> 00:51:54,880
gouged out eye

1000
00:52:01,510 --> 00:51:58,960
his body came to chicago for the funeral

1001
00:52:04,630 --> 00:52:01,520
every third or fourth person that walked

1002
00:52:05,589 --> 00:52:04,640
by to see the bloated figure of emmett

1003
00:52:07,109 --> 00:52:05,599
till

1004
00:52:08,870 --> 00:52:07,119
feign it

1005
00:52:13,190 --> 00:52:08,880
but what was important for the civil

1006
00:52:15,349 --> 00:52:13,200
rights movement was that a photographer

1007
00:52:16,549 --> 00:52:15,359
from this you know this little bitty

1008
00:52:17,589 --> 00:52:16,559
magazine

1009
00:52:20,309 --> 00:52:17,599
um

1010
00:52:22,230 --> 00:52:20,319
came and took a picture of it

1011
00:52:23,109 --> 00:52:22,240
and they put it in

1012
00:52:24,470 --> 00:52:23,119
jet

1013
00:52:27,270 --> 00:52:24,480
magazine

1014
00:52:31,510 --> 00:52:27,280
and that picture just didn't stay in the

1015
00:52:33,670 --> 00:52:31,520
united states it went across the world

1016
00:52:35,750 --> 00:52:33,680
so people in the north and people

1017
00:52:37,670 --> 00:52:35,760
outside of the united states and said

1018
00:52:40,630 --> 00:52:37,680
home of the free

1019
00:52:43,030 --> 00:52:40,640
how is it possible that you can treat a

1020
00:52:45,910 --> 00:52:43,040
13 14 year old boy like that and you're

1021
00:52:49,510 --> 00:52:45,920
supposed to be a land of democracy so it

1022
00:52:57,349 --> 00:52:49,520
put pressure and helped the civil rights

1023
00:53:06,630 --> 00:53:01,190
just like many of our parents

1024
00:53:09,589 --> 00:53:06,640
dr king's father was invaluable

1025
00:53:10,870 --> 00:53:09,599
to the development of dr king

1026
00:53:13,430 --> 00:53:10,880
i'm going to tell you something that

1027
00:53:24,470 --> 00:53:13,440
happened to dr martin luther king and

1028
00:53:28,390 --> 00:53:26,710
in our electronic age you know our cell

1029
00:53:29,670 --> 00:53:28,400
phones go off we understand that that

1030
00:53:31,510 --> 00:53:29,680
happens right

1031
00:53:33,750 --> 00:53:31,520
no problem

1032
00:53:35,670 --> 00:53:33,760
even at nasa right

1033
00:53:38,069 --> 00:53:35,680
um

1034
00:53:40,829 --> 00:53:38,079
uh you have to understand that his

1035
00:53:43,109 --> 00:53:40,839
father was very important dr king's

1036
00:53:45,349 --> 00:53:43,119
official name

1037
00:53:48,710 --> 00:53:45,359
on his birth certificate when he's died

1038
00:53:51,750 --> 00:53:48,720
was not martin it was malcolm

1039
00:53:54,150 --> 00:53:51,760
michael excuse me it was not martin it

1040
00:53:57,510 --> 00:53:54,160
was michael also his father changed his

1041
00:53:58,790 --> 00:53:57,520
name after uh being influenced by the

1042
00:54:01,430 --> 00:53:58,800
writings

1043
00:54:04,309 --> 00:54:01,440
and the works of martin luther the

1044
00:54:06,870 --> 00:54:04,319
theologian okay but there were

1045
00:54:09,349 --> 00:54:06,880
three uh events that i want to talk

1046
00:54:11,990 --> 00:54:09,359
about that dr king said was very

1047
00:54:14,549 --> 00:54:12,000
important to the formation of his

1048
00:54:16,870 --> 00:54:14,559
understanding of the world of justice of

1049
00:54:18,230 --> 00:54:16,880
righteousness of courage

1050
00:54:19,990 --> 00:54:18,240
first of all his father was a part of

1051
00:54:22,549 --> 00:54:20,000
the naacp

1052
00:54:26,150 --> 00:54:22,559
who worked to have the salaries of

1053
00:54:29,430 --> 00:54:26,160
teachers in the atlanta georgia area um

1054
00:54:32,309 --> 00:54:29,440
equalize with the salaries of other

1055
00:54:35,750 --> 00:54:32,319
teachers white teachers in the area

1056
00:54:37,270 --> 00:54:35,760
but dr king recounts an event happening

1057
00:54:41,190 --> 00:54:37,280
him and his father when he was little go

1058
00:54:43,670 --> 00:54:41,200
inside of a shoe store and they say uh

1059
00:54:45,910 --> 00:54:43,680
dr king's dad said we want to buy some

1060
00:54:48,789 --> 00:54:45,920
shoes and the

1061
00:54:51,030 --> 00:54:48,799
uh salesperson says we don't

1062
00:54:55,670 --> 00:54:51,040
service coloreds in the front of the

1063
00:54:58,390 --> 00:54:55,680
store so they leave and dr king's dad

1064
00:55:00,309 --> 00:54:58,400
says something to him he says that as

1065
00:55:02,470 --> 00:55:00,319
long as this

1066
00:55:05,349 --> 00:55:02,480
system exists

1067
00:55:06,549 --> 00:55:05,359
i will resist it

1068
00:55:07,910 --> 00:55:06,559
think about the things that your mother

1069
00:55:09,190 --> 00:55:07,920
and your father and that your relatives

1070
00:55:12,870 --> 00:55:09,200
said to you when you were growing up

1071
00:55:15,270 --> 00:55:12,880
that stick to you to this day

1072
00:55:17,990 --> 00:55:15,280
another thing happened uh dr king's dad

1073
00:55:21,270 --> 00:55:18,000
while driving with uh martin uh as a

1074
00:55:23,030 --> 00:55:21,280
young man went to uh

1075
00:55:25,510 --> 00:55:23,040
went through a stop sign and were

1076
00:55:27,030 --> 00:55:25,520
stopped by the police and the policeman

1077
00:55:28,549 --> 00:55:27,040
stopped him and he said to him boy

1078
00:55:32,230 --> 00:55:28,559
didn't you see that you went through

1079
00:55:33,349 --> 00:55:32,240
that stop sign and dr king's dad says

1080
00:55:38,309 --> 00:55:33,359
boy

1081
00:55:40,710 --> 00:55:38,319
sitting in that seat right there

1082
00:55:43,190 --> 00:55:40,720
so imagine talking that way to the

1083
00:55:46,230 --> 00:55:43,200
police

1084
00:55:51,510 --> 00:55:46,240
in the 40s in the 30s

1085
00:55:52,870 --> 00:55:51,520
in alabama no comment all right um

1086
00:55:54,789 --> 00:55:52,880
back then somebody know where i was

1087
00:55:56,789 --> 00:55:54,799
going right um

1088
00:55:58,870 --> 00:55:56,799
it was dangerous

1089
00:55:59,910 --> 00:55:58,880
but dr king learned

1090
00:56:02,549 --> 00:55:59,920
that

1091
00:56:05,030 --> 00:56:02,559
if you are on the side of righteousness

1092
00:56:07,510 --> 00:56:05,040
if you are on the side of justice that

1093
00:56:09,190 --> 00:56:07,520
you have to speak truth

1094
00:56:11,349 --> 00:56:09,200
to power

1095
00:56:15,270 --> 00:56:11,359
a last thing dr king recounts that i'm

1096
00:56:19,109 --> 00:56:15,280
going to talk about is that he was

1097
00:56:21,270 --> 00:56:19,119
uh going to a debating contest in

1098
00:56:22,150 --> 00:56:21,280
vesputa georgia

1099
00:56:26,069 --> 00:56:22,160
right

1100
00:56:28,069 --> 00:56:26,079
and uh on the way back on the bus all

1101
00:56:29,190 --> 00:56:28,079
the seats filled up and he was made to

1102
00:56:32,549 --> 00:56:29,200
stand

1103
00:56:34,710 --> 00:56:32,559
and he says that impacted him uh greatly

1104
00:56:36,069 --> 00:56:34,720
when he was a young person because he

1105
00:56:37,990 --> 00:56:36,079
didn't know

1106
00:56:40,390 --> 00:56:38,000
uh he didn't think that that was right

1107
00:56:42,789 --> 00:56:40,400
that he had to stand so these were all

1108
00:56:45,190 --> 00:56:42,799
of these things that happened during his

1109
00:56:46,789 --> 00:56:45,200
childhood that happened to his youth

1110
00:56:49,910 --> 00:56:46,799
even before

1111
00:56:53,190 --> 00:56:49,920
as a 15 year old he went to morehouse

1112
00:56:56,630 --> 00:56:53,200
college but think about it still again

1113
00:56:59,510 --> 00:56:56,640
that dr king when asked about the church

1114
00:57:02,230 --> 00:56:59,520
that he grew up said as an undergrad

1115
00:57:03,510 --> 00:57:02,240
majoring in sociology i don't want to be

1116
00:57:05,990 --> 00:57:03,520
connected

1117
00:57:08,630 --> 00:57:06,000
with the backwards thinking of the

1118
00:57:12,230 --> 00:57:08,640
baptist church

1119
00:57:14,470 --> 00:57:12,240
dr king said that oh yes dr king did and

1120
00:57:17,510 --> 00:57:14,480
why is that so important to understand

1121
00:57:19,109 --> 00:57:17,520
just like me just like all of you we

1122
00:57:21,589 --> 00:57:19,119
evolved

1123
00:57:24,789 --> 00:57:21,599
into the people that we are right now

1124
00:57:26,470 --> 00:57:24,799
hopefully you not the same person that

1125
00:57:28,630 --> 00:57:26,480
you were when you were a freshman in

1126
00:57:31,109 --> 00:57:28,640
college and i'm here to say and colley

1127
00:57:33,430 --> 00:57:31,119
will attest to you i'm glad i'm still

1128
00:57:36,950 --> 00:57:33,440
not the person i was when i was a

1129
00:57:39,750 --> 00:57:36,960
freshman in college

1130
00:57:43,030 --> 00:57:39,760
but he changed he evolved he majored in

1131
00:57:46,069 --> 00:57:43,040
sociology it wasn't until two years a

1132
00:57:48,470 --> 00:57:46,079
couple years later being mentored by the

1133
00:57:50,630 --> 00:57:48,480
president of morehouse benjamin mays who

1134
00:57:53,190 --> 00:57:50,640
was also a pastor

1135
00:57:56,230 --> 00:57:53,200
who was a friend of dr king's dad talk

1136
00:57:58,870 --> 00:57:56,240
to him about the importance of the black

1137
00:58:00,309 --> 00:57:58,880
church and the baptist church in

1138
00:58:02,069 --> 00:58:00,319
uh

1139
00:58:04,069 --> 00:58:02,079
for for his life

1140
00:58:06,470 --> 00:58:04,079
so he graduates with a degree in

1141
00:58:08,789 --> 00:58:06,480
sociology he goes on to get an

1142
00:58:11,510 --> 00:58:08,799
undergraduate degree in theology and

1143
00:58:14,549 --> 00:58:11,520
then that's when he goes on to get his

1144
00:58:17,910 --> 00:58:14,559
doctorate degree but check this out

1145
00:58:21,270 --> 00:58:17,920
let's move to the next slide

1146
00:58:25,750 --> 00:58:21,280
when the montgomery alabama bus boycott

1147
00:58:29,990 --> 00:58:25,760
started dr king had been dr king for

1148
00:58:35,270 --> 00:58:33,190
he got his uh his doctor degree in uh

1149
00:58:37,190 --> 00:58:35,280
1954.

1150
00:58:42,390 --> 00:58:37,200
so he hadn't been dr king

1151
00:58:44,789 --> 00:58:42,400
think about how young he was 24 25

1152
00:58:48,309 --> 00:58:44,799
years old and that goes into the next

1153
00:58:51,349 --> 00:58:48,319
point on how the center classification

1154
00:58:53,349 --> 00:58:51,359
has occurred we think that dr king was

1155
00:58:54,950 --> 00:58:53,359
the most celebrated civil rights leader

1156
00:58:57,349 --> 00:58:54,960
of his time

1157
00:59:00,950 --> 00:58:57,359
false

1158
00:59:03,829 --> 00:59:00,960
when dr king was alive and a poll of

1159
00:59:07,589 --> 00:59:03,839
influential black leaders was out dr

1160
00:59:10,390 --> 00:59:07,599
king was never voted one two or three he

1161
00:59:11,750 --> 00:59:10,400
was always fourth or less

1162
00:59:13,670 --> 00:59:11,760
who were they

1163
00:59:15,910 --> 00:59:13,680
there was whitney young

1164
00:59:18,870 --> 00:59:15,920
there was a philip randolph there was

1165
00:59:21,030 --> 00:59:18,880
james farmer there were james foreman

1166
00:59:25,589 --> 00:59:21,040
okay this is brotherhood of sleeping car

1167
00:59:27,750 --> 00:59:25,599
porters urban league uh the naacp

1168
00:59:30,309 --> 00:59:27,760
uh the other quick thing that i forgot

1169
00:59:33,270 --> 00:59:30,319
about the naacp it never had an

1170
00:59:34,870 --> 00:59:33,280
african-american president into the 70s

1171
00:59:36,470 --> 00:59:34,880
it would have a field secretary that was

1172
00:59:39,270 --> 00:59:36,480
african-american but never

1173
00:59:41,270 --> 00:59:39,280
african-american president until the 70s

1174
00:59:43,430 --> 00:59:41,280
very interesting but there were other

1175
00:59:47,750 --> 00:59:43,440
individuals that were there who were

1176
00:59:49,349 --> 00:59:47,760
well established uh ahead of dr king and

1177
00:59:50,950 --> 00:59:49,359
we will talk about them but we got to

1178
00:59:53,030 --> 00:59:50,960
talk about this march on washington dc

1179
00:59:55,270 --> 00:59:53,040
so you understand the march on

1180
00:59:57,430 --> 00:59:55,280
washington d.c dr king's house had been

1181
01:00:01,589 --> 00:59:57,440
bombed so guess what he at that time was

1182
01:00:04,870 --> 01:00:02,710
thank you

1183
01:00:06,549 --> 01:00:04,880
somebody bombed your house you might be

1184
01:00:07,829 --> 01:00:06,559
going to get a gun instead of taking the

1185
01:00:10,230 --> 01:00:07,839
guns out right

1186
01:00:12,150 --> 01:00:10,240
and he had armed guards and guns in his

1187
01:00:14,230 --> 01:00:12,160
house and then an individual came to his

1188
01:00:15,750 --> 01:00:14,240
house who helped stage the march on

1189
01:00:19,510 --> 01:00:15,760
washington dc

1190
01:00:22,710 --> 01:00:19,520
and in 1941 who would go on to stage a

1191
01:00:25,430 --> 01:00:22,720
march in 1957

1192
01:00:28,230 --> 01:00:25,440
commemorating the three-year anniversary

1193
01:00:29,510 --> 01:00:28,240
of brown versus board of education came

1194
01:00:31,510 --> 01:00:29,520
to him and talked to him about

1195
01:00:34,710 --> 01:00:31,520
non-violence protest practices

1196
01:00:36,390 --> 01:00:34,720
and procedures but as you look at uh the

1197
01:00:38,549 --> 01:00:36,400
woman who would come to detroit michigan

1198
01:00:41,109 --> 01:00:38,559
rosa parks who didn't get up on the bus

1199
01:00:43,589 --> 01:00:41,119
she wasn't the first individual

1200
01:00:48,630 --> 01:00:43,599
mary louise

1201
01:00:52,069 --> 01:00:48,640
uh smith 18 and then claudette coven 16

1202
01:00:54,549 --> 01:00:52,079
had done what she had done prior to rosa

1203
01:00:58,390 --> 01:00:54,559
parks now claudette colvin the young one

1204
01:01:00,470 --> 01:00:58,400
was going to be put as the figurehead of

1205
01:01:02,390 --> 01:01:00,480
the march like rosa parks but something

1206
01:01:05,990 --> 01:01:02,400
happened to her

1207
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,950
just a little now

1208
01:01:11,990 --> 01:01:10,950
right

1209
01:01:13,910 --> 01:01:12,000
and

1210
01:01:17,670 --> 01:01:13,920
they decided because the civil rights

1211
01:01:19,030 --> 01:01:17,680
movement was just as much about uh

1212
01:01:22,150 --> 01:01:19,040
principle

1213
01:01:24,630 --> 01:01:22,160
as it was about or image as it was about

1214
01:01:28,230 --> 01:01:24,640
principle so they decided not to use her

1215
01:01:30,549 --> 01:01:28,240
and use uh rosa parks in

1216
01:01:32,549 --> 01:01:30,559
stead there was a march me there was a

1217
01:01:37,109 --> 01:01:32,559
bus boycott that was successful and

1218
01:01:39,430 --> 01:01:37,119
baton rouge louisiana in 1953.

1219
01:01:42,309 --> 01:01:39,440
the marching uh i mean the bus boycott

1220
01:01:44,710 --> 01:01:42,319
in montgomery alabama took 381 days the

1221
01:01:47,109 --> 01:01:44,720
one that happened two years earlier in

1222
01:01:49,430 --> 01:01:47,119
baton rouge took the whole

1223
01:01:52,789 --> 01:01:49,440
less than ten days

1224
01:01:55,029 --> 01:01:52,799
okay by an individual by the name of t j

1225

were civil rights movements and

1227
01:02:02,630 --> 01:02:00,240
everything going on prior to during dr

1228
01:02:05,589 --> 01:02:02,640
king that we haven't heard about that's

1229
01:02:09,190 --> 01:02:05,599
the civil wrong part is that people all

1230
01:02:12,789 --> 01:02:09,200
over the country including dr king were

1231
01:02:14,950 --> 01:02:12,799
uh very important in the civil rights

1232
01:02:17,829 --> 01:02:14,960
movement let's move on to

1233

1239
01:02:34,309 --> 01:02:31,359
the only one

1240
01:02:37,510 --> 01:02:34,319

washington dc there were 19 speakers and

1242
01:02:43,990 --> 01:02:40,720
performers who went on to speak at the

1243
01:02:46,069 --> 01:02:44,000

1247
01:02:55,670 --> 01:02:53,280
a singer who we're familiar with who

1248
01:02:58,549 --> 01:02:55,680
went on two people before him dr king

1249
01:02:59,990 --> 01:02:58,559
starts off saying that america has been

1250
01:03:02,069 --> 01:03:00,000
written a check

1251
01:03:04,950 --> 01:03:02,079

negro a check that has come back in

1253
01:03:09,349 --> 01:03:07,839

1306
01:05:34,710 --> 01:05:32,240
the bus

1307
01:05:36,789 --> 01:05:34,720
you never heard about that

1308
01:05:38,150 --> 01:05:36,799
adam clayton powell goes to dr king and

1309
01:05:39,910 --> 01:05:38,160
says dr king you're going to have to

1310
01:05:41,990 --> 01:05:39,920
silence bail rustin he's too militant

1311
01:05:44,630 --> 01:05:42,000
he's causing too many problems for me on

1312
01:05:47,109 --> 01:05:44,640
the hill martin luther king says to him

1313
01:05:51,349 --> 01:05:47,119
how can i do such a thing he has been

1314
01:05:52,710 --> 01:05:51,359
around for 30 years already 20 years

1315
01:05:54,549 --> 01:05:52,720
participating in the civil rights

1316
01:05:56,789 --> 01:05:54,559
movement he was my mentor he's taught me

1317
01:05:59,190 --> 01:05:56,799
about non-violence protests practices

1318
01:06:01,910 --> 01:05:59,200
and procedures so in a video that you

1319
01:06:04,470 --> 01:06:01,920
can get called brother outsider the life

1320
01:06:07,190 --> 01:06:04,480
and times of bear rusted it talks about

1321
01:06:09,589 --> 01:06:07,200
what adam clayton powell says next he

1322
01:06:12,789 --> 01:06:09,599
says well if you don't silence him we

1323
01:06:15,270 --> 01:06:12,799
are going to leak to the press this lie

1324
01:06:20,230 --> 01:06:15,280
that you and bayard rustin are having a

1325
01:06:24,230 --> 01:06:21,829
the reason why you don't know about

1326
01:06:27,109 --> 01:06:24,240
bayard rustin is because he was

1327
01:06:30,630 --> 01:06:27,119
outwardly gay during a time when people

1328
01:06:33,510 --> 01:06:30,640
weren't outwardly gay

1329
01:06:36,230 --> 01:06:33,520
the civil wrong or the civil right about

1330
01:06:39,349 --> 01:06:36,240
it is his participation in the civil

1331
01:06:42,390 --> 01:06:39,359
rights movement was invaluable

1332
01:06:44,069 --> 01:06:42,400
the civil wrong about it is because of

1333
01:06:47,510 --> 01:06:44,079
his gender

1334
01:06:50,150 --> 01:06:47,520
orientation he was silenced then and

1335
01:06:51,029 --> 01:06:50,160
virtually written out of the history

1336
01:06:51,910 --> 01:06:51,039
books

1337
01:06:54,230 --> 01:06:51,920
okay

1338
01:06:55,589 --> 01:06:54,240
now what i'm going to do because time is

1339
01:06:59,029 --> 01:06:55,599

1344
01:07:15,270 --> 01:07:12,950

1345
01:07:18,950 --> 01:07:15,280

1346
01:07:25,829 --> 01:07:23,029
as i said to the group last night

1347
01:07:27,589 --> 01:07:25,839
nobody else can do this for us

1348
01:07:30,549 --> 01:07:27,599
no document

1349
01:07:33,270 --> 01:07:30,559
can do this for us

1350
01:07:36,390 --> 01:07:33,280
no lincolnian emancipation

1351
01:07:39,910 --> 01:07:36,400
proclamation can do this for us no penis

1352
01:07:43,829 --> 01:07:39,920
onion our johnson civil rights bill can

1353
01:07:46,870 --> 01:07:43,839
do this for us if the negro is to be

1354
01:07:50,390 --> 01:07:46,880
free he must move down into the inner

1355
01:07:54,470 --> 01:07:50,400
resources of his own soul and sign with

1356
01:08:03,750 --> 01:07:54,480
a pin and ink of self-assertive manhood

1357
01:08:09,029 --> 01:08:04,870
uh

1358
01:08:12,870 --> 01:08:10,710
in that video

1359
01:08:18,070 --> 01:08:12,880
dr king says

1360
01:08:20,870 --> 01:08:18,080
don't let anyone take your manhood

1361
01:08:23,269 --> 01:08:20,880
the most important part just stops right

1362
01:08:24,550 --> 01:08:23,279
but it's important for us to understand

1363
01:08:26,149 --> 01:08:24,560
dr king

1364
01:08:28,630 --> 01:08:26,159
in a new way

1365
01:08:31,590 --> 01:08:28,640
that he evolved

1366
01:08:35,349 --> 01:08:31,600
during the time of his life to start

1367
01:08:37,829 --> 01:08:35,359
looking at things in regards to poverty

1368
01:08:39,990 --> 01:08:37,839
things for civil rights

1369
01:08:42,709 --> 01:08:40,000
of rights for everyone

1370
01:08:46,309 --> 01:08:42,719
that we don't really discuss

1371
01:08:48,229 --> 01:08:46,319
that much he spoke truth to power and

1372
01:08:53,030 --> 01:08:48,239
one of the most important things that he

1373
01:08:54,950 --> 01:08:53,040
talked about is what is our service to

1374
01:08:58,550 --> 01:08:54,960
our brothers

1375
01:09:01,189 --> 01:08:58,560
and sisters and to people now so if we

1376
01:09:02,630 --> 01:09:01,199
want to talk about how is it that we go

1377
01:09:05,189 --> 01:09:02,640
forward

1378
01:09:08,229 --> 01:09:05,199
we need to talk about how is it that we

1379
01:09:10,309 --> 01:09:08,239
serve better the people in our household

1380
01:09:13,030 --> 01:09:10,319
how is it that we serve better the

1381
01:09:15,189 --> 01:09:13,040
people in our community how is it that

1382
01:09:18,309 --> 01:09:15,199
we serve better the people of this

1383
01:09:20,789 --> 01:09:18,319
country and the people of this world

1384
01:09:22,709 --> 01:09:20,799
and i will conclude

1385
01:09:24,309 --> 01:09:22,719
and we can go a couple slides down and

1386
01:09:27,510 --> 01:09:24,319

in that speech he repeatedly claimed

1508
01:17:39,110 --> 01:17:37,600
that i have a dream this afternoon and

1509
01:17:40,950 --> 01:17:39,120
he concluded

1510
01:17:43,910 --> 01:17:40,960
at the end of that speech as he had many

1511
01:17:45,030 --> 01:17:43,920
times in the previous two years that he

1512
01:17:48,390 --> 01:17:45,040
had a

1513
01:17:50,470 --> 01:17:48,400
children

1514
01:17:52,709 --> 01:17:50,480
black men and white men jews and

1515
01:17:54,390 --> 01:17:52,719
gentiles protestants and catholics

1516
01:17:56,630 --> 01:17:54,400
would be able to join hand and sing in

1517
01:17:59,430 --> 01:17:56,640
the words of that old negro spiritual

1518
01:18:02,870 --> 01:17:59,440
free at last free at last

1519
01:18:05,990 --> 01:18:02,880
thank god almighty and free at last

1520
01:18:07,669 --> 01:18:06,000
and um that's especially

1521
01:18:09,510 --> 01:18:07,679
special to me because

1522
01:18:10,790 --> 01:18:09,520
my parents natives of georgia and

1523
01:18:13,910 --> 01:18:10,800
alabama

1524
01:18:15,430 --> 01:18:13,920
made certain that their ten-year-old son

1525
01:18:16,950 --> 01:18:15,440
went down to

1526
01:18:19,189 --> 01:18:16,960
downtown detroit

1527
01:18:21,590 --> 01:18:19,199
in march with dr king and that in that

1528
01:18:22,550 --> 01:18:21,600
march that was led by the reverend c.l

1529
01:18:24,149 --> 01:18:22,560
franklin

1530
01:18:26,149 --> 01:18:24,159
many of you who know

1531
01:18:29,030 --> 01:18:26,159
him as the father of aretha franklin you

1532
01:18:31,110 --> 01:18:29,040
know whose church she learned her craft

1533
01:18:33,430 --> 01:18:31,120
so um

1534
01:18:35,270 --> 01:18:33,440
that's why this 50th anniversary is is

1535
01:18:37,270 --> 01:18:35,280
really special to me

1536
01:18:39,350 --> 01:18:37,280
and as we move forward

1537
01:18:40,950 --> 01:18:39,360
and trying to make dr king's dream a

1538
01:18:43,430 --> 01:18:40,960
reality

1539
01:18:45,270 --> 01:18:43,440
you have to look at the efforts of

1540
01:18:46,390 --> 01:18:45,280
blacks in government

1541
01:18:48,229 --> 01:18:46,400
you know blackstone government was

1542
01:18:50,630 --> 01:18:48,239
formed first to address the issues of

1543
01:18:53,510 --> 01:18:50,640
african americans in federal service but

1544
01:18:55,270 --> 01:18:53,520
then realized that it was an issue for

1545
01:18:58,870 --> 01:18:55,280
all federal workers

1546
01:18:59,590 --> 01:18:58,880
and so big now encompasses i mean all

1547
01:19:01,669 --> 01:18:59,600
all

1548
01:19:03,590 --> 01:19:01,679
civil servants are big non-encompasses

1549
01:19:05,430 --> 01:19:03,600
state federal

1550
01:19:07,590 --> 01:19:05,440
and local

1551
01:19:10,229 --> 01:19:07,600
and so big continues to

1552
01:19:12,149 --> 01:19:10,239
work tirelessly with many programs to

1553
01:19:14,550 --> 01:19:12,159
make sure that everyone

1554
01:19:17,590 --> 01:19:14,560

1555
01:19:19,430 --> 01:19:17,600

1556

1557
01:19:23,430 --> 01:19:21,280
