congressman john lewis. (cheers and applause) senator john lewis! >> (cheers and applause) >> jon: thank you for being here. >> i'm happy to be here. >> jon: we're -- >> delighted to be here. >> jon: couldn't be more honored, sir. i want to talk to you just to get a context of this. because i think we have a tennessee, even in the images, you see them they are black and white. they tend to feel like history, that they are not recent history for americans. when did you begin your journey into the civil rights movement. >> i grew up in rural alabama 50 miles from montgomery outside of a little place called troy. and i was only about 7 or 8 years old. we would go downtown to the theater. and all of us black children had to go upstairs to the balcony. and all of the little white children went downstairs to the first floor. bless my mother my am father, grandparents when i asked y they said that's the way it is. don't get in their way. don't get in trouble. i saw the sign at the water fountain, white and coloured. but in 1955 15 years old i heard of rosa

this is john lewis' life. this is his body that was on the line and this was him defying martin luther king jr. in a lot of ways. this was him asserting himself in his own terms as a civil rights leader. as a very, very young man and being incredibly brave. i think people forget the risk, the incredible physical risk that he was taking to come into the heart of the south and not just the police officers, but volunteers who were volunteering to brutalize people. this for john lewis is not just a moment to sort of look back at history. this is his own personal story. i think that every time he talks about it you hear that little choke in his voice. melissa, you can agree, this is personal to him. i think when you talk to him, too, you get the sense that it's not history. he sees us as a continuum and that the movement really continues for him. >> i think it's part of what is helpful to remember because we see these old black and white images. that was back then. but when you're standing there talking to congress

we are lewis and clarke. we are pioneers who braved them familiar followed by a stampede of farmers and miners and entrepreneurs. that is our spirit. that is who we are. we are sojourner truth. women who could do as much as any man and then some. we're susan b anthony shut the system until the lot resulted that truth. that is our character. we are immigrants stone away on ships to reach these shores, the hubble masses -- huddled masses, holocaust survivors, the lost boys of sudan. we are the hopefuls drivers across -- strivers because we want our kids to have a better life. we of the slaves who built the white house and the economy of the south. the cowboys who opened up the west, the countless laborers who laid rail and raised skyscrapers and organized for workers rights. we are the freshfaced gis who fought to liberate a continent and we are the tuskegee airmen and the japanese-americans who fought for this country even as their own liberty had been denied. we are the firefighters who rushed into the buildi

and john lewis is one of my heroes. now, i have to imagine that when a younger john lewis woke up that morning 50 years ago and made his way to brown chapel heroics were not on his mind. a day like this was not on his mind. young folks with bed rolls and backpacks were milling about. veterans of the movement trained newcomers in the tactics of nonviolen nonviolence, the right way to protect yourself when attacked. a doctor described what tear gas does to the body. while marchers scribbled down instructions for contacting their loved ones. the air was thick with doubt, anticipation and fear. and they comforted themselves with the final verse of the final hymn they sung. no matter what may be the test, god will take care of you. god will take care of you. and then his nap sack stocked with an apple, a toothbrush and a book on government, all you need for a night behind bars, john lewis led them out of the church on a mission to change america. president and mrs. bush, governor bentley, mayor evans, congre congre congressw

he invited john lewis one of the victims of violence on the edmund pettus bridge, lewis moved from alabama to georgia and was elected to congress. >> i said governor why did you give the order for people to beat us? he said we had to stop you. on the bridge. because there were people waiting to cel kill you on the other side. i said governor do you kill people to keep other people from killing them? he didn't have an answer. i'm not really convinced that governor wallace ever really believed all of the stuff that he was saying. i think he used the issue of race to get ahead. >> wallace also met with the two students he had once blocked from entering the university of alabama. jameshood and vivian malone. >> did your sister ever share with you being frightened ? >> you know, this is something that continues to amaze me. because of all the emotion she had, i think fear was not one. i think that she never gave into that fear. she and my parents were people of great faith. and they felt that they were doing the right thing and that, you know all would be taken care of. >> wallace died in 1998.

what makes lewis qualified? according to her bio she's personally journeyed the special education maze and has impressive academic credentials. >> i have a ph.d. i'm an rn with a master's in psychology and a ph in applied psychology. >> that's right. marie lewis of delaware county claims she's a doctor. she lists ph.d. on the website of a national advocacy organization she founded and directs. as well as on her linked in resume. where did she go to school? it just says ru. >> where is your ph.d. >>> rockville university. >> where is that ma'am? >> and so -- why are you asking? >> we wanted to know where it is. rockville used to be in maryland. and they moved. >> right. >>> they were absorbed by the school. >> reporter: we check with maryland's higher education commission. no college or university may operate in the state without commission approval. and it has no record of a rock rockville university when lewis claims she got her ph.d. in 2000 sand eight. >> you have a ph.d. you are a doctor. i a doctorate of ps

and john lewis. one notabley absent was diane nash. she explained why. >> the march, the photographers i was all set to much. they had me on the front line. and then george bush came out and got in the march, and i left. [cheers and applause] i determine that i was not marching anywhere with george bush. the selma movement stands for nonviolence and peace and democracy and fairness and voting rights, and george bush stands for just the opposite. he stands for violence and war and stolen elections. and, for goodnessis administration had people tortured. i think this occasion was not appropriate for him to be here. i think for him to appear to be leading people involved in the nonviolent movement in this country for a photograph to go across the world would make it look as though we have sold out. i think that is an insult to people whose lives were taken. reverend reed, jimmy lee jackson . it is an insult to me, and i think it is an insult to everybody who really does believe in nonviolence. that being said, i want to mention just a cou

i had never met john lewis, but i knew his voice and there he was on the phone, the real john lewis. i had been in the oval office, in meetings with the president, and many more famous washington power players, but this, this was something else entirely. this was one of the great heroes of the civil rights movement. one of the country's greatest living heroes. and on that day, in that moment, he needed a favor. he was trying to get something done for his district in georgia and he needed help with getting it through the senate. now, i was ready to do whatever he asked for before he said a word. the bridge he was beaten for trying to cross, the bridge that he eventually successfully crossed with martin luther king, jr., was named and is still named the edmond pettis bridge. edmond pettis was born in 1821 into a wealthy slave owning family. he became a decorated confederate general in the civil war and then became the grand dragon of the alabama klu klux klan. university of alabama history professor john gigi says -- >> if edmond pettis had still been alive and in command of the alabam

lewis referred to you. and i also think that you have gained the respect of the people who are maybe the most critical judges, the folks who are on the streets, fbi agents, and dea enforcers, and postal inspectors, and secret service who have contacted our committee and who have spoken through others to say how much they have respected your work and admired your tenacity, and your toughness. but also your essential fairness in enforcing the law. and those qualities, as you and i have discussed in our private meeting, will be critically important because the role of a prosecutor is not only to obtain convictions, but to achieve justice. in the words of justice jackson, and i am paraphrasing, not quoting, the department of justice faces enormous challenges ahead. and new leadership will be important to that direction. but i want to say how much i appreciate the leadership that we've seen from attorney general holder. i think he deserves gratitude from our nation for his leadership during a very tough time. an

and he was right. >> john lewis grew up in rural alabama. went to segregated schools and saw the signs for whites and colored. then he brings up something that happened to the kids in his family when he was 16. >> trying to get library cards attempting to check out some books. we were told by the librarian that the library was for whites only, and not for colored. >> so was voting. by 1965 that was the focus of the civil rights movement. lewis says selma selected itself. >> the county was more than 80% african-american. there was not a single registered african-american voter in the county. >> lewis has been a member of congress now for 28 years. but he goes back to selma every year. >> selma helped free and liberate not just american south but helped liberate our country. >> on the issue of race, how far have we come since selma? >> as a nation we've come a great distance. white, colored signs are gone. the only place that we would see those signs today would be in a book, in a museum, or on a video. >> how far do we still have to go? >> we

vivian john lewis and james bevel. i'm proud to be president of that institution. >> hold for me one second because i want to listen to the president doing a bit of an invocation, a biblical reference point, something he also did in selma when he spoke in 2007. take a listen. >> when it feels the road's too hard, when the torch we've been passed feels too heavy, we will remember these early travels and draw strength from their example and hold firmly to the words of the prophet isaiah those who hope in the lord will renew their strength. they will soar on the wings like eagles. they will run and not grow weary. they will walk and not be faint. >> when you -- you can hear the crowd responding to that because we know that verse. and i thought he tapped into what it was and what it is that faith does in a social movement. >> i think you've got to also see that this man went to church every sunday all right, for some 20 years. church wasn't just a political front for him, all right, it was in fact the stuff of life. and th

there's one terrifying photo of a trooper bringing down a club on john lewis's head. he was nearly killed that day so for this he's a folk hero not just in the movement and selma but across the country for so many people and not just a man like john lewis who everyone knows and loves and applauds for his efforts. there were so many people whose names we simply don't know. or you don't know outside of this community. and there are moments where there's a gentleman named reverend f.d. reese who actually wrote the original letter inviting dr. martin luther king to selma to join in their fight for voting rights. i saw him coming and the crowd kind of parted to let him through. now many people outside of selma do not know who f.d. reese is but to see this crowd respond with the level of respect that they did adds to the level of amazement to stand back. >> take us to sell marx alabama, as we're watching this live pictures of people crossing the edmund pettus bridge. smell, alabama 50 years ago, selma, alabama, today. what's different? >> when you look at the city leadershi

what propelled you forward congress member lewis? >> well, my mother and my father , my grandparents, my uncles and aunts and people all around me had never registered to vote. i had been working all across the south. the state of mississippi had more than 450,000 of african-american's and only 16% were registered to vote. on that day, we did not have a choice. i think we had been tracked by what i called the spirit of history. we could not turn back. we had to move forward. we became like trees planted by the rivers of water. we were anchored. i thought we were dying. i first thought we would be arrested and go to jail, but i thought it was real possibility that many of us would die on the bridge that day after the confrontation occurred. i thought it was the last protest for me. somehow, in some way, had to keep going. you go to a hospital, to a doctor's office, you get mended. you get up and you try it again. amy: what was the next act you engaged in? >> we continued to organize, continued to try to get people registered. we went
