now they become the reverend martin luther king senior and martin luther king jr.. i'm giving you this background because i think that this helps to explain why this place is so important. why the birth home, the block up the street is such an important place. this is where, literally, martin luther king junior achieves his identity. this is the place where he has his early experiences. this is the important thing that comes through in that wonderful document, the autobiography of religious development. that is something that he writes during his first year at the theological seminary. he writes this 14 page handwritten paper. i would love to show you it, just to see the way in which he kind of sketches out his life. he says, "i was born in 1929 on the eve of the great depression, which spread its disastrous arms throughout the nation." that is how he comes to his anti-capitalist view of the world. that's all in the first paragraph. have you ever read a document that reveals so much more than that? just from its beginning? those of you in this class understand that

on martin luther king. one of the first conferences after the national holiday. i am invited to give this very public speech. all of the papers given at the conference were published. who is in the front row? mrs. king, but also bob moses, the main organizer from sncc. here i am, i am a sncc person giving a talk as the editor of martin luther king's papers. i gave this talk, and the conclusion of it was that the movement would have happened even if he had not been born. i certainly believe that. i looked out, and here is coretta scott king kind of frowning. i think maybe i'm not going to be lasting long in this job. [laughter] mr. carson: it forced me to rethink my own attitude. every time i applied for a grant to do the king papers, i had to say, why is this important? why is it important? if king had never been born, why is it important? what did he provide to the movement? one way of understanding the last 30 years of my life is answering that question. i have to answer that question every day, every yea

king, the reverend martin luther king jr.. that was the person who was born just up the street, a block up the street at 5:01 auburn avenue. that was the person that i hope as you saw that birth home, you had in your mind what's kind of influence with that historical building have on the making of martin with or king. fortunately, we not only have the birth home, we have a few documents. not as many as when he becomes famous, the thousands and thousands of letters that we have, documents that we have people who wrote to him all of those things are part of the papers of martin luther king. but when we look at when he was growing up, his formative years, we don't have a lot work with. basically what we have our few documents and a lot of memories. some of the memories are not as reliable as the other memories, but just think of a document that most of you have. it's called your birth certificate. we have that far more looking. it tells us some important things. it tells us we he was born on january 15th 1929. we know that the bi

now they become reverend martin luther king sr., martin luther king jr. now i'm giving you this background because i think that this helps to explain why this place is so important. why the birth home a block up the street is such an important place. this is where, literally, martin luther king jr. achieves his identity. this is the place where he has his early experiences. and this is the important thing that comes through in that wonderful document, the autobiography of religious development. that is something that he writes during his first year at crozier theological sim father. he writes this 1-page handwritten paper. i would love to show it to you just so you could see the way he sketches out his life. he says i was born in 1929 on the eve of the great depression which spread his disastrous arms across the nation. and that's how he came to hate capital. i. those of you in this class understand that beginning because it is the beginning of the autobiography. because it seems like that was the perfect place to begin martin luther king's story. but wha

martin luther king jr.. as mandated by our founded president, the reverend, al sharpton, and guided by our chairman, dr. richardson, the department of religious affair'' main function is to remind the church to be the head light, not the tail light, and the fight for justice. the president of religious affairs and external relations, i am committed to ensuring the message is delivered to our faith committee and external partners. as dr. martin luther king junior noted in 1963, i note the challenge for the black church is not to merely be a thermometer of society that records the temperature, but to be the thermostat and helped to transform and change society for the better. the national action network is a faith-based organization, and we believe that the crisis in our nation because the black church to action as never before -- calls the black church action as never before. may we forever stand true to our god, true to our native land. ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the singing of "lift every voice

the martin cake luther king holiday? >> wellin many ways, trying to tell the story of his impact on our lives, the movements, the america and the world history. to trying to communicate that it is not a holiday in the traditional sense. it is a call to duty to action to commitments, recommitment and a lifting up of accomplishments and yet giving a mirror of what has to be done. what has not been done. and all of the challenges, the agonies that we face at this very hour. so it is a learning from the life of doctor king. it is being motivated by the work and also being challenged to get involved, deeply involved, recommit ourselves and also to pass on to the next generation as best we can. the beauties, the challenge, the commitments. as well as some of the pain, the ugliness that they must grapple with as well. >> will thank you for being part of that surface for all of us here today. how about you charles black. you are one of the few students taught by doctor king at morehouse. let's hear what you are reflecting on, on

martin luther king, jr.'s life-long struggle for civil rights taking new meaning in america tonight as the nation confronts a dark past and complicated future. i spoke with abc news contributors earlier tonight thank you all for joining us elz let's start with you, i spoke to trump supporter who denounced the violence at the capitol but said it is now time for the country to move on. what about republicans not ready to move on. what will it take? >> i'm not quite sure what moving on actually means, if it means let's forget january 6th then i don't want to move on because that's not going to help the country move forward and heal. we've been down this road where we've tried to placate to racism in hopes of unifying the country only to find out when you placate to racism you only make the country worse. so i don't know what it's going to take for us to move on to get the republicans on board to have a peaceful transition of power and help joe biden and kamala harris get this coronavirus under control but i am c

martin luther king on the plane. and to be sure that all of the bags were checked and to be sure that nothing would be wrong on the plane, we had to check out everything carefully, and we've had the plane protected and guarded all night." and then i got into memphis. and some began to say the threats or talk about the threats that were out, of what would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers. well, i don't know what will happen now. we've got some difficult days ahead. but it really doesn't matter with me now because i've been to the mountaintop. and i don't mind. like anybody, i would like to live a long life. longevity has its place. but i'm not concerned about that now. i just want to do god's will. and he's allowed me to go up to the mountain. and i've looked over. and i've seen the promised land. i may not get there with you. but i want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the promised land! and so i'm happy tonight. i'm not worried about anything. i'm not fearing any man! mine eyes

martin luther king. and big changes like the racial reckoning, election of the first black woman vice president added significance to this day. as our reporter tells us, the day is a reminder of how far we've come toward realizing dr. king's dream but also how much work still needs to be done. >> the legacy of celebrating dr. martin luther king jr. was on full display across the bay area. a caravan of cars driving through the city in tribute to dr. king. >> it's really important that we're here today and that they're still keeping this tradition going. >> the parade included a drive up gathering at the bart station. with images of unity serving as a backdrop as the country continues to grapple with the hard truths the unity. >> we all want unity. >> in campbell, people honored dr. king as a day of service. in this case, improving a local park. the nation's first female vice president and to dr. king's dream of a more diverse union. >> i can also imagine how proud if he observes kamala harris. it will be

today i luther king junior day... and many celebrations were forced to go virtual amid the pandemic. but in the east bay--- hundreds of people attended a socially-distanced celebration. kron 4's charles clifford reports from el cerrito. on monday, the city of el cerrito (catherine) next - honoring the legacy of doctor martin luther king junior. one of his close friends explains how king's teachings still inspire..

(catherine) also -- vandalism in vacaville. what we know about disturbing messages left at city hall . now at 5:30- we are following breaking news right now- a 12-year-old boy is missing in the surf off cowell ranch state beach in san mateo county. this is video as crews are searching for the boy they say is from fremont. officials say an adult and the child were standing on the beach when they were both swept into the water by a wave. the adult was able to get back

happy martin luther king day, thoughtful martin luther king day. for me it is a reflective day. where we are right now is a place we have never been before and i think that while there are calls for unity and for us to come together and hope at optimism, at the same time all of that is so much rhetoric, charles, i hope behind that rhetoric are real actions so when our politicians are calling for unity it isn't just words. don't tell me you're calling for unity and then shut me out of the conversation. don't say you are calling for unity and then still use divisive language with people who disagree with you. i like you am an optimist and i tend to make lemonade out of lemon. as a result of that i'm willing to give it a try. let's use this opportunity to lean into the moment and to the conservative movement i would say our time is now. we have to be the watch men upon the walls of liberty and freedom. it's time for us to stand, stand firm, stand tall and fight for the things that we believe in. the reason we need to do that is because we have real answers to the things that are on

martin luther king. it is not quite the radeof years past thanks to the coronavirus but today celebrations for martin luther king day are just as important. >> it is important for us to keep the spirit of dr. king alive along with his philosophy. now it is a little different. we will be in our car but we are still here. pokainrt joed acrowin el ceito for a crowd, spaced appropriately apart. ny but all of them agreeing this year it is particularly important to preach mlk's message of peace inclusion, and equality. >> right now there is so much negativity. we want to let people know, everybody as one. >> reporter: faith leaders also held a rally at the mlk freedom center today. this year's theme, keeping the dream alive. the northern california mlk foundation also went virtual for this year's celebration, offering a wide range of on- demand content including services, videos, and an art festival. whether it was online or a short parade through city streets, these folks kept dr. king's message, even as covi

martin luther king junior day. because of the covid pandemic -- organizers expected maybe 50- cars to show up for the city of el cerrito's annual m-l-k junior car caravan, but instead a hundred cars participated. those who attended say, dr. king's message of unity and peace is still relevant as seen in the nations' political unrest and ongoing pandemic.

that is the legacy of martin luther king. as we sit here with an administration that promises to change our situation and to bring us away from the darkness of the past four years, i would just advise people that urgency is martin luther king's legacy. urgency, not complacency. host: randy in alabama, good morning. caller: yes. first thing up, you need somebody who ain't as racist as the man up there now, and yes, i am a democrat. the democrats in the 16 years, they don't do more. as long as you have somebody like this man was on your show now, you don't really have rights, because he is a racist human being, just like arrested them in the media. host: why do you say our guest is a racist? caller: you can listen to the way the man talks. he don't talk about nothing but dividing the country, not healing the country. as long as we have got people like that in the country, we are going to have another civil war. host: i will let our guest respond if you choose to. guest: does that man think that justice is divisive? does that ma

martin luther king jr. described trumpism perfectly. >> many americans would like to have a nation which is a democracy for white americans but simultaneously a dictatorship over black americans. >> and that's exactly what the trump mob invading the capitol was demanding. martin luther king jr. was the bright light leading this country through very dark times. when that light went out when he was assassinated, the nation was plunged into what seemed like hopeless darkness. i described those days this way in my book "playing with fire." "the rioting lasted a week. tens of thousands of people were arrested. thousands were injured. dozens were killed. america has never seen anything like that scale of nationwide rioting before or since. the day after the king assassination, washington was a war zone. smoke from burning buildings hid the dome of the u.s. capitol. vehicles packed with soldiers and marines patrolled debris-strewn streets. broken glass was everywhere. more than 6,000 people were arrested in washin

king, martin luther king iii. martin, let me first say that we know an idealogical jumble of far right extremists flourished under president trump and claimed new energy in the last four years and experts are warning the capitol attack will serve as an organizing and recruitment tool for years to come. you have been fighting hate all your life, as did your father and mother. what can be done to stop right-wing extremists from recruiting, in your opinion? >> you know, i think when you change the climate and you change the attitudes of people and the attitudes are changed by what they are hearing, we have had four years of a mobilizer and organizer to talk about disruption with the commander in chief that is going out of office in just the next couple days. when the people hear a different voice, a voice that automatically reaches out to its adversaries and says look, you may not agree with me, but i'm the president of the united states, and i intend to lead all of the people, and so there's a place for you. now, no

you can't talk about martin luther king jr. and erect a statue in his memory, and this man stood against police brutality and every 28 hours in this country a black person is shot and killed by police or security or some vigilante. you can't do it, but you can if you reduce the man to a dream, and with that dream is so -- is such a blank slate that you can project on it whatever you want to. that's not kick's fault. he was delivering a speech that he needed to deliver at the time, but the problem with our -- our understanding of race and racism in america being confined to that one moment and confined to that one idea of having a dream, that little black boys and little white boys will hold hands together means that we don't deal with what racism actually is. we don't deal with the fact that the governing philosophy for the united states of america since its inception has been white supremacy. we don't have to deal with it because, you know, all we had was a dream that we would be nice to one another. so what i appreciate about

and so what happens to this martin luther king jr.? well, he gets sanitized and sterilized because that much black love and that much black fire is always a threat to america. america misunderstands black rage as always being connected to revenge. black rage can be connected to black love. tenderness is what love feels like in private. and he was a tender man, too, just like malcolm. he was a gentle man. he was a sweet man. but he had a deep commitment to justice. when he died 72% of americans disapproved of him. 55% of black people disapproved of martin when he died. ooh, everybody loves him now that the worms got him. the fbi says he's the most dangerous man in america. how come? so much love. so much fire. why was it that he was unpopular? america, my own government is the greater purveyor of violence in the world. he's telling the truth and vis-a-vis vietnam trying to organize all poor people, going beyond civil rights, talking about rights for black people, he's talking about human rights that he and malcolm x already talked about
