he was assassinated april 4, 1968, at the lorraine motel in memphis, tennessee. he was just 39 years old. while dr. king is primarily remembered as a civil rights leader, he also championed the cause of the poor, organizing the poor people's campaign to address issues of economic justice. and dr. king was a fierce critic of u.s. foreign policy and the vietnam war. "beyond vietnam" was the speech he delivered at new york's riverside church on april 4, 1967, a year to the day before he was assassinated. in it, dr. king called the united states "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today." "life" magazine called the speech "demagogic slander that sounded like a script for radio hanoi." "the washington post" said king "diminished his usefulness to his cause, his country, his people." well, today we let you decide. we play an excerpt of dr. king's speech "beyond vietnam." >> after 1954, they watched us conspire with diem to prevent elections which could have surely brought ho chi minh to power over the united vietnam, and they realized they had been betrayed

joining us jim cooper of tennessee. he represents nashville and middle tennessee. congressman, i understand how this happened, but what can be done to stop it? >> well, nicolle, you asked the right question, and you framed it so well. republicans are basically cheating. they haven't been able to elect a democrat in nashville for 100 years. this isn't about me. so now they're getting rid of nashville politically. they're colonizing nashville. it's completely outrageous. democrats have gerrymandered in the past, but the simple truth is we're not very good at it. this is brutal. this is tough, and they have hidden all the records. the republican redistricting guru explicitly told them no texts, no emails, no written record. so they're racial gerrymandering can never be found out. i hope a lawsuit will succeed. we're trying everything possible. i have called everything, and i just don't think there's any way certainly for me to have a chance in this election. that's their intention, i take it as a compliment. >> does the federal voting rights legislation, does it trave
