king's time. it is those little things that give us hope if we keep fighting and we do not get discouraged, if we do not give up, we can do our part to making the behrfrd community dr. king talk -- beloved community dr. king talked about and taught us to keep fighting we can make it a reality. this is our virtual celebration in washington, d.c. on martin luther king day. >> christian clark is the assistant attorney general for civil rights at the united states department of justice. he is a life long civil rights lawyer who spent her entire career in public service. we know her well from her work here in the state of new york. she began as a trial attorney in the civil rights division through the department of justice's honors program. in 2006 she joined the naacp. 2011 she was made head of the civil rights bureau of the new york state attorney general as office where she handled civil rights enforcement. in 2007 she was named president and executive director of the last committee for several righ

martin luther king, jr. and coretta scott king. i am also the proud daughter of martin luther king iii and andrea waters king. although i never got to meet my grandfather, his lessons and drive for justice are in me. stories about my grandfather's leadership were passed down to me at the dinner table, told to me at bedtime, and shared doing long road trips. but most importantly, his lessons are passed down to me and young people across the country during moments in history like this one that call for all of us to work together and take action to correct injustice and advance equality. one important lesson i learned from my grandparents is that no matter how old you are, no matter who you are, all of us can create change when we choose to show up and speak out. i'm speaking especially to the young people here today in washington who have decided to show up on a monday morning to speak out and demand their senators protect their future right to vote. today in 2022, the right to vote is under attack. as our elected leaders try to sile

whereas the king king george iii didn't speak. he spoke german and four other languages. thereby also slightly undermining the idea that he was ignorance and and unintelligent and but he spoke english entirely without a german accent and he was also nicknamed specially by his enemies at the beginning farmer george. it was a way that intellectuals attempted to to embarrass him. but in fact, of course in a country where 80% of people took their livelihood from agriculture his interest in progressive agricultural techniques, he used to write articles for agricultural agricultural papers about rotation and manure and so on and in fact made him made him popular. and he was i'm very unfortunate as a as a child or a young man. when his father frederick prince of wales died very suddenly of an aneurism when he was 12 years old. he had a very good relationship with his father, which is tremendously on almost completely unknown in in hanoverian circles are into the fact that they were a house a royal house of extraordinary dysfunctionality. they all seem to hate their children and

martin luther king, dr. martin luther king, dr. martin luther king jr., dr. martin luther king jr. what an honor it is to celebrate the life and legacy of dr. martin luther king jr. >> you've written a lot about the real dr. martin luther king jr. what do you make of this abuse and recruitment of him to try to use him to enact racist policy? >> well, you know, joy, in the church they say satan knows more scripture than anybody else. i'm not suggesting a parallel there, but take it to where you want. the reality is that dr. king has always been a kind of fascination for the far right wing. they couldn't beat him so they want to join him. but join him by absorbing his language, rearticulating color blindness, reverse racism, suggesting that black people were the real threats. black people are the real racist. black people are the real victimizers and white people are the real victims. this takes a kind of notion that dr. king is the hero of those conservatives who absurd levels and then disses the very people for whom dr. king died. we know that martin luther king jr. spent 365 days

king, the daughter of civil rights leaders martin luther king, jr. and coretta scott king. she's here to talk about advancing the legacy of her parents through her work as the c.e.o. of the king center. dr. bernice king, welcome to "the daily show." >> thank you. i am so honored to be here. >> trevor: let me start by saying happy belated martin luther king, jr. day. i've seldom seen a holiday that seems to be celebrated by as many different people in as many different ways as i have seen with m.l.k. day in america, and as the daughter of dr. martin luther king, jr., i'd love to know what you feel m.l.k. day should be about. >> well, i try to capture it in three ways. it's a time to educate, advocate and activate. and people fall under, you know, each one of those in different ways. some people use this as a time to, you know, advance the teachings of dr. king, and then some people advocate. there are people in this nation people are concerned about and they use that time to raise their voices to advocate for issues and groups of people, in fact. and then activate -- how do

king. while uniting republicans to protecting the voting rights that he fought for, meaning dr. king. kyrsten sinema tweeting about the legacy while she and senator manchin are refusing to take action to preserve that legacy tweeting about him it's great, voting rights but what are you actually doing? what are you actually doing? why are you so tied to the relic. of the senate. senate, the filibuster, why are you so tied to that? the fact is that they have made a crystal clear, made it crystal clear they care more about the filibuster than voting rights and former president barack obama speaking at the funeral of john lewis awhile back called the filibuster a relics of jim crow. >> and if all this takes eliminating the filibuster another jim crow relics in order to secure the god given rights of every american, then that's what we should do. >> he's right. this is what the filibuster, this is what it does. it allows a determined minority like republicans whose leader mitch mcconnell said he

martin luther king dr. martin luther king. so this is not a holiday that is something imposed upon the calendar. it is something we fought for. we didn't fight for it to be a day off. we fought for it to be a day on. working under principles and realization of what dr. king stood for. no time in my memory is more important than today as we battle around voting rights, police reform, economic equality. there couldn't be a time more pregnant with the possibilities of seeing dr. king's dream and the things he fought for being preserved and defended. so, even though because of the covid-19 pandemic and we wanted to respect the healthy environment that we want and health protocol set up that we are doing this virtually, i want you to know there's nothing more important, nothing more significant. in the last year we have seen some very sad moments. the pandemic spreading, coming back with new variants. disproportionate impacts on families of color. i have had to do as many funerals as a aoulg skwreus as it years past. but we saw bre

king. don't dishonor him by using a congressional custom as an excuse for protecting our democracy. >> where do we stand? whose side are we on? >> there's no me for me to restate my longstanding support for the 60-vote threshold to pass legislation. >> so i ask our colleagues in the senate respectfully for what they think the filibuster means, to compare that to weigh the equities against our democracy, because nothing less is at stake than our democracy. >> it's time for every american to stand up, speak out, be heard. >> and that's why today's push is a bit surreal. democrats do not have the votes to reform the filibuster obstruction of these voting bills, which means they won't get an updated voting rights bill to the senate floor unless something changes. that means this holiday steeped in history and progress is serving to mark one way that the history of antiobstruction is in a very real way repeating itself right here on this holiday. it was martin luther king himself who diagnosed t

i think often king is frozen with the "i have a dream" speech but king's ideas for america were so much more expansive. he was concerned about poverty. and he was concerned about war, as well as racism. and i hope that our celebration of him will encompass all that he was really concerned about, and we don't narrow his scope of concern to simply one line of a speech in "i have a dream." he was also concerned about labor and concerned about everyday people and concerned about how, as a country, we treat others and how we treat those who are marginalized and other marginalized populations. >> he was also concerned about voting rights, right? like he fought for that. on monday, his family is actually going to be going to march in d.c. in support. so here we are, more than 50 years after his assassination and the fight continues. what's your reaction to the current stalemate in congress? >> well, first i'll say that thinking about voting rights that king is so concerned about that. he was very concerned about that in the '50s and fought and marched and many others bled and marched with him

king: i don't know. this is such a critical issue even for himself as a president because we know the elections are coming. conventional wisdom says one thing and people are chomping at the bit. the way that some of the lines are drawn in certain congressional districts in our state and many other states could make the map drawing so difficult that you could make it difficult for the demand -- democratic party to retain its majority. even as it pertains to the senatorial elections. this issue is so important. nobody knows what voters are going to do for short. -- four -- for sure. the issue is that we should make it easier not harder for everyone to vote. senator manchin and senator sinema talk about bipartisanship. none of these bills make it harder to vote have been bipartisan. they have been republican. what's interesting is the dual standard. host: to say the least. there is a palpable anger at the white house and at the democratic party among voting rights advocates over the previous lack of action.

martin luther king junior day. what we do have out there is also some nice and clearing skies. we've had some partly cloudy conditions this morning and we even had a couple light sprinkles. let's zoom in on some of those areas that we are looking at a few light showers, including along highway one light light showers right above treasure island as well as of the berkeley san mateo bridge also saying nothing more than a sprinkle or 2. so not a rainy day by any means, but something to know for sure. don't be surprised if you feel a few of those. as you venture outside. otherwise today is a partly cloudy one. nice bright skies still making its way through those clouds that will be working their way in and out across the bay area tomorrow and wednesday will clear back out a lot compared to today with some mostly sunny conditions. >> and overall, some really pleasant weather to be making our way through the start of this week. 50's and 60's for your highs near the coastline. temperatures for our bayshore in inland citie

king's words for right-wing causes. in this case he used kings words to impose employment quarters to address racial discrimination. even though the people who knew dr. king best supported him. they had affirmative action. in fact, the rhoden's 1967 book, where do we go from here? , quote, a society that has done something special against the negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for the negro. here's the thing, today, conservatives in the republic to have the night the open support for socialism and socialist stick economic policies want to pretend he wasn't a man of the left. that he wasn't a radical hosted up to a loudly critiqued but economic, justice, and inequity in america. so in enthuses -- cornell west has caused the santa claus of dr. king. and they have done so by disingenuously focusing on one line in one speech. today, republican politicians and foxholes follow and reagan's first steps and take every chance they can to quote this one line from martin luther king junior. >> i have a dream

king did. democrats are struggling to advance voting rights bills in congress and they are facing tough opposition from republicans and some members of their own party. here is faith abubey with the debate about the path forward. faith: across the country, the covid-19 pandemic and artisan politics causing a major showdown over voting rights. an unprecedented wave of state laws critics say are restricting access to the polls, putting immense pressure on president biden to protect motor access to the ballot box before the november midterm elections. >> i hope to get this done. faith: since the 2020 election, 19 states have passed 34 bills restricting access to voting. democrats are still struggling to advance the freedom to vote act. the bill would expand voter registration, doesn't election day is a federal holiday, establish new protections against manipulative ictal -- manipulate electoral maps and restore voting rights to formerly incarcerated americans. in texas, one of the states accused o

king lived up to his dream. does the street named after the man we all celebrate having this wonderful vision and dream actually reflect his body of work? laura: 11 years ago, you're finding was that the streets that bore martin luther king's name did not reflect his dream, did they? >> at the time we were doing the documentary, there were some that reflected his dream. in oakland, it was a neighborhood that was not economically where you would want it to be, but i think it was interesting that it showed the economic diversity and the diversity that is america's. laura: 11 years on, there's been this racial reckoning following the death of george floyd. is the dream more advanced than it was when we spoke 11 years ago? >> that is such a loaded question. i think it is more at the forefront of what black folks knew were the issues. it has become a hot topic of conversation because we have cell phones and cameras, so everyone can see what has been going on in our communities for a long time. are we advanced? i thin

and so a young martin luther king jr. struggled all those years ago, and he said history has thrust something upon me from which i cannot turn away. those of us who are students of dr. king -- i know i have often wondered what would i have done if i were alive during the civil rights movement. i know we would all like to think that we too would have had just a small fraction, just a fraction of the courage that it took for john lewis to cross that edmund pettus bridge. well, for those of us who are fortunate enough to serve in the united states senate in this moment, in this moral moment, we do not have to wonder. my god, he faced troopers on the other side crossing that bridge. we're talking about a procedural bridge. we don't have to wonder what we would have done. i submit that what we would have done back then, we are doing right now. history is watching us. our children are counting on us. and i hope that we will have the courage to do what is right for our communities and for our country, the courage to cross this b
