Stealing. And we did steal he stopped us from gambling and he stopped us from law stealing runs rampant you know gambling runs rampant in her own right for evils in places that care product immunity run record in a home. In harlem everyone knew the story of mull committal the young hoodlum who discovered the nation of islam and its leader Eliza Mohammad while in prison it was muhammad who made malcolm x. The spokesperson for this black separatist movement with its racial vision of a world where black muslims would live apart from whites thanks to markham x. The nation of islam became popular in the ghettos of the northern states but organization was always one there was concern about offering an an option an alternative to black americans you know heres and heres something what were talking about in terms of the goals and objectives we have as far cry which you hear you know you following christianity for example well less connected to the slave trade thats connected to your slave holder you know he does not have your best interests in mind hes given you a religion its that tamps down your your potential for violence and raising up. Mr x. You have described a muslim moment as a religious organization and youve said that there are a great many misconceptions about your attitudes and stated views can we press for a very simple answer to one question do you hate all white people i dont think its a fair question. Headed to the right my head in the white man doesnt even come into my attitude he did mr mohammed teaches us to love our own kind and let the white man take care of himself for the right man to days after kidnapping millions of black people from africa stripping them of all human characteristics and relegating them to the role of chattel cattle animals commodity merchandise that could be bought and sold it will and then 100 years since the emancipation pratt approximation using every type of deceptive method to further us into slavery call 2nd class citizenship i think that it would take a whole lot of nerve for white people today to ask negroes do they hate it ok malcolm spoke to the white media but he was not trying to convince still white media then what he was saying was true because he knew that they were going to distort what he said. But ok no end of the hand and artist of the spoken word he worths try our way stranded get the attention of the media to use the media to support he is non violent approach to social change was after seeing the repeal of segregation laws on the alabama busing king pursued his action in other states. He emerged as the leader of the civil rights means. We do not want to wait 50 years for our rights we dont want to wait 25 years for our right we dont want to wait 10 years for our rights we want all of our rights we want them here and we welcome now. The young pastor became a celebrity the media hailed the effectiveness of his nonviolent approach king and his lieutenants used television to effect in front of the cameras they saw to provoke the violence of the authorities demonstrators were told to show no hostility towards the adversary but to resist peaceful. Method of hundreds systems is one of the most if not the most potent weapon. Chris and freedom. In the cities of the north nonviolent resistance was a message that fell on deaf ears in new york malcolm x. Famously visited a Police Station to denounce the violence im not satisfied with the fact that the police in this downtown area has punched one of our brothers in the mouth and the brother wasnt breaking any law he was only selling papers and it would be dangerous for them to get the impression that we endorse Martin Luther king the last of the attorney of the cheek malcolm represented the kind of attitude and political perspective of many of young black socalled militants and radicals coming out of urban areas in the north they have a different coming attitude it was hard for them to swallow this notion of nonviolence you know so i go inside my head then retribution is coming i can see myself falling down on my knees and given any kind of extra advantage to my enemy malcolm says somebody hits you you send him to the cemetery the nonviolent strategy of modern new think king jr for malcolm x. Was a week philosopher it was a philosophy of turn the other cheek it was a philosophy of not hidden back and now come comes from a black nationalist tradition that does not believe that you can and cant show freedom yossef respect yo get me to buy sit play lead and somebody beat up on you and you not shy to defeat in yo say thats why he malcolm emphasizes seth defense. But. Emphasize nonviolence because if blacks had responded trying to defend them sad that would a brought down the pole least department down our own those demonstrators and whites would have loved to have the chance to kill black people in distress. So king and malcolm had that tension. I am happy. With you. Will go down in the rear. As the greatest demonstration read on and the history of. Television played a central role in the African American struggle for equality in 1963 a series of events covered by the National Networks reveal the scale of inequality in the south to millions of americans well theyre right now in 1963 was the year of Martin Luther kings try and his relationship with president kennedy who had been in power for 2 years was key to his strategy but it was this alliance which ween king and washington this idyllic picture of reconciliation between blacks and whites that provoked the ire of marco makes it all started in birmingham alabama in the spring of 1963 king and another pastor Ralph Abernathy were filmed being arrested for organizing an unauthorized demonstration the arrest was part of a strategy that king would use in future campaigns it was important that the cameras captured the unrest birmingham was a city that embodied a southern racism where whites like to repeat the governors slogan segregation now segregation tomorrow segregation forever can believe that alabama would not and could not polisi it seth and that what he wanted to do was to show that so that the federal government would have to become involved and their body make a family a law that would over rod anything that any of that jim crow laws thats in birmingham alabama in 1963 it was in prison where Martin Luther king wrote the text that encapsulated his struggle the letter from birmingham jail king wrote the purpose of a direct Action Program is to create a situation so. Crisis pact that it will inevitably open the door to negotiation. President kennedy intervened and king was soon free and a few days later king and his followers found a way into the national consciousness. One of his lieutenants suggests well why dont we have School Children they dont have jobs they dont have mortgages. A lot of controversy about that within kings circle. But the decision is made and so we have hundreds and hundreds of children marching. And thats also the moment where the bull connor the Public Safety commissioner decides to bring out attack dogs and high powered fire hoses those pictures. Go around the world. Where we get these incredibly dramatic images. They are so powerful and here we have a story of 2 opposing forces one behaving brutally the other being victimized and so on you know for television this is a spectacular story. Malcolm x. Is quoted in the media being very very critical about king and the movement allowing children to march and be arrested and be brutalized that was our main crucible berman here. I mean the fact that it would you that children would be put in this and after what i understand even some of the king people kind of you know had a problem with that initially they misled they had a problem with interesting lee its its at that moment that the coverage of king starts to change because very shortly after this particular campaign it its now its called the Childrens Campaign very shortly after that the white power structure in birmingham basically collapses a green is to basically agrees to kings demands. The Media Coverage of king then very quickly changes hes not the militant anymore he is the hero 2 days after his victory over the local authorities Martin Luther king was the target of an attack several buildings were burned down by white extremists leading to riots in the black community in the face of the unrest john f. Kennedy sent the National Guard to the outskirts of birmingham in harlem markham xscape full voice to his anger we are not integration. And we believe that your old food to try and mix with someone who doesnt love you well that doesnt mean that we in any any way condone what those predators are doing in birmingham alabama people should know that it is no accident that along the gulf were writing negro women negro babies a negro children kennedy said nothing it was only after the negro began to strike that. It was then it was then that kennedy called in the on the dont youll be going by kennedy dont you people by the dont go down negro free just when i dont i think you get that good i get the 4 legged dog. After the events of burning Martin Luther king and malcolm x. Were interviewed a few days apart for a program about the race issue brings us an interpretation it was an opportunity to share their opposing vision was to put the black caucus malcolm x. Has said of your philosophy that it plays into the hands of the light of practice that they are happy when you talk about love for the oppressor because this is far from a negro well i dont think of love as in this context as emotional bond i dont think of it as we see what i think of love as something strong and all the nice south and powerful a direct action and i think some of the criticisms of nonviolence and some of the critics fail to realize is that we are talking about something very strong and they can few. Nonresistance with nonviolence is. King assumes that people are reading know that he is right about what he is sand so he is using the intellectual tradition of why its in order to make his Point Malcolm does not use the intellectual tradition of whites to make his Point Malcolm uses the experiences of black people in the ghetto the people that hes talking to reverend Martin Luther king. Preaches a doctrine of nonviolent insistence upon the rights of the American Negro what is your attitude a lot of white men have been Martin Luther king subsidises revenue luther king so that they havent Martin Luther king can continue to keep the negroes to be defenseless thats what you mean by not be defenseless be defenseless in the face of one of the most cruel be it has ever taken the people into captivity if thats the american way. If you were looking at this from the outside you would really wonder what was going on what do you grace is a religion that they have an indepth exploration of global capitalism and our obsession with Economic Growth this is still the center of capitalism there is no limits i view myself as a capital artist we are trying to make this a well smaller and smaller we dont want to be set realistic in the world we would rather have a fantasy growing pains on aljazeera. This is a really fabulous news for one of the best ive ever worked in there is a unique sense of bonding where everybody teams in thats something i feel every time i get on the chair every time i interview someone were often working round the clock to make sure that we bring events as i currently as possible to the viewer thats what people expect of us and thats what i think we really do well.

Ready malcolm x. And Martin Luther king 2 legendary figures with opposing visions for American Civil Rights and their rivalry plays out on prime Time Television in the united states. Dr king is equality and all right citizenship for negro league all of dr Martin Luther king is to give negro the chance to sit in a segregated restaurant plain white man alive for 400 years the goal of dr Martin Luther king is to get negroes to forgive the people who have them 400 years but by lowering them to sleep and making them forgetting what they. Criticize martin because he was trying to we end our ballo to sick nakes to why people are in a restaurant but maam says i mean thats not freedom sitting next to white people is not freedom said what freedom is black people have in their own selfdetermination where they can buy their own restaurant and they dont have to worry about whites not serving then. June 11th 1963 marked a major victory for king and his movement president kennedy gave a televised address in which he presented the plight of southern blacks as a moral crisis affecting the whole country but are we to say the world and much more importantly to each other that this is a land of the free except the negotiations that we have no 2nd class citizens except negroes we have no class ok our system no ghettos no master race except with respect and they go. Now the time has come to this nation it will fill its promise events in birmingham and elsewhere so increased the crisis requalify that no city or state legislative body can only choose to ignore them. A few days later at the white house civil rights leaders submitted their plans to the Kennedy Administration for a Major Political rally in washington their aim was to draw attention to the injustices that continue to affect 20000000 blacks the administration was afraid the unrest would spill over onto the streets of the Nations Capital king reassured the white house and the event took place but on the terms set by kennedy. On the day of the march the whole of america could follow proceedings live on t. V. Thanks to cameras set up along the route the 3 National Networks gave wide coverage to the event which was the culmination of a decade of intense struggle for civil rights. What you see is an emphasis on black and white together. The march was about 3 quarters africanamericans one quarter white but if you look at the coverage you would think it was almost 5050. 00 so one way that Television News was framing this monumental phenomenon is of blacks and whites coming together each see images of marchers and the emphasis is always on dignity. So you see these framed portraits of marchers. You know the t. V. Cameras are always looking for well dressed marchers and and this was part of the organizing of the march where your best clothes right youre going to be seen by the nation. So the impulse seems to be on the day of the march to portray this for Television Viewers as nonthreatening and you know this is the ideal this is what integration looks like that to me was i was like a picnic it had almost like a picnic like atmosphere to i of this like totally unimpressed and although i was you know i had already accepted brother malcolm interpretation of it from listening to him speak but but. To me it was it was i was out when you look when you when i was there and i was it must of why would anyone object to this this is a great this is a great. Cool for the Kennedy Administration makes it look as though theyre doing something and something major is going on and i have a theory. Was i liar. Or am one day i live in a nation where they will not be deterred by the color of their yes but by the content of back aaron i havent i am was now you have 250000 people you know gathered in one place seemingly on the same page. See many there to idolize the kind of iconic values that dr king represented at the end and even if people who are going to eyes of mars recognize that king would be the centerpiece you know a Philip Randolph in particular you know exactly what he was doing that dr king would come on and move that crowd is such a way that no other speaker in this country could do on average 3 in bed one day. Home it out about mom with that fish race with the governor having him conniption stripping with the words up in the position another fictitious one day night that in alabama the little black boy was in fact wont be able to join hands and im afraid gordon right at the drop is not a free. Everything is i have a dream. I have a dream i have a dream and and to me the greatest lines from that speech that should be embedded into the minds of especially of young black folks is the full fathers of this country gave us a promise every note and we have come here today to cash that check thats read thats bothered me and it serves a bit image created in the my that was a powerful statement. Totally even though. We refuse to believe that the bank of justice is backed. By we refuse to believe that out i an official from the great 0 of opportunity of this nation so we come to cash this check the check that will give up the pun demand the riches of freedom and the security of stuff. Was among commands the march on washington was an event to be rejected in a famous speech he attacked what he calls the farce on washington. The click to put kennedy in power during. The march on washington is just like when you got some coffee it is too black. Which means its too strong. What you do you didnt agree to create. It used to be hot it becomes cool it used to be stronger becomes weak. It used to wake you up now what you just did. This is what they did with the march on washington they joined it became a proud of it took it over and there they took it over the last its militancy they seized me angry they seized me hot they seized me uncompromising why even seized to be a mom she became a picnic a circus were nothing but a circus with clowns and all they control it sucks to the tune of negroes what time to time. How to cook. Where does that. Carry. The same. Speech they could make you have a brief equipment and then totally get out of town by sundown. The march on washington sealed an alliance between king and kennedy. From now on it was king who had the ear of the white house. According to the media the 2 men were going to write American History but it would be written without kennedy. Monday nov 25th 1963 america is in shock following kennedys assassination as the nation watches his televised funeral king and the black cause have just lost their most powerful political ally but markham x. Upsets the mood of mourning. When kennedy is killed. Because the grief for the nation was so intense any quote or sound bite that seems to be critical of kennedy. Is just not going to be tolerated. Malcolm x. 2nd in command of the black Muslim Movement expressed joy at the assassination of president kennedy at a manhattan rally last sunday not and said that the killing of the president was an instance of the chickens coming home to roost he added and we quote being an old farm boy myself chickens coming home to roost never make me sad they always make me take the lead in chicago today a large mohamad the leader of the any white Muslim Movement suspended malcolm x. And this about his state you know you little chickens out in the morning they go around and they always come back the. What it was what chickens come in was basically words was the same as saying what you reap is what you sow and brother malcolm position was with the Kennedy Administration had allowed all of that violence to occur in birmingham and other places had not done very much about it but the way that the media of course takes up that quote is malcolm is saying kennedy deserved to be shot i personally wish he had not sit now because it was not true because i believe every word of it but i because he was able to get brad ammunition for his enemies both in the you know in the larger world and in the nation of islam to use it against after 3 months of silence imposed by Elijah Muhammad malcolm x. Was finally banished from the nation of islam from not long he had to speak for himself you consider yourself a militant. I consider myself malcolm. I think when he left the nation of islam in march of 1964. He felt it to assist a great degree at a kind of a liberal tory he felt liberated in fact some point said something about the straight jacket is no longer on him now he can move and become more political because understand that the nation of islam tended to tamp down any kind of political expression to stay clear of that thats what god malcolm in trouble when he said something about kennys assassination you know about the chickens coming home to roost got him into deep water so in an inept precipitated a number of other moves but he was already as far as im concerned he was beginning to step outside of that any way he saw him saw of in a larger picture and making a greater contribution what will be the difference between your new movement and the nation of islam well the basic difference will be probably more flexible and its not my intention to teach among those who are already most but to take mr mohammeds message out among non muslim so called the world or your work then with negro groups that are working for integration we will be joining now will they be joining us we will Work Together on any objective that we havent come on that will be for the common good of the negro community. In washington Martin Luther king continued his political work with a group of senators sympathetic to his ideas he joined the debate on the civil rights draft bill initiated by kennedy the bill was the most progressive legislation yet regarding African Americans. During a press conference which he gave on capitol hill king saw an unexpected visitor at the back of the room it was markham x. Malcolm an exit always who wanted to meet king. And debate with me. But king our ways refuse to meet with. Logic maybe car he knew that if he met with america. Support from the Bike Community would be almost a lemonade so king had to carry himself in such a way that the support which he got from the world why community would not dry up. After the conference the 2 men met face to face. This encounter that king had always avoided unfolded in front of the press and photographers. The meeting only lasted a minute but these images that capture them side by side like this photo what do smiling became a strong symbol of reconciliation between 2 opposing visions of the black caucus. Those 2 people martin and mack symbol lads something that is in our our africanamerican each of us has a little bit of martin and a little bit america and us see malcolm represents that blackness enoughs that sands that we are white even messing with us we are the david now come represent that fayyad that fight. That refusal to let anybody define who we are kidding represents our desire to get along with every bad and couldnt fight. I too want to create a society for all people defined by nonviolence love and care for all people and the society. On july 2nd 1964 the civil rights bill was signed at the white house what king saw come into being that day was a federal law that punished all Racial Discrimination in the u. S. He appeared alongside president johnson as a victorious hero at last this law was washingtons response to kings dream. A few days later america was caught up in another crisis following the acquittal of a policeman who had killed a black teenager riots broke out in new york for 2 days and nights violence reigned in the black neighborhoods kings lieutenants try to ease tensions but to no effect. C one rioter was killed 118. 00 injured and nearly 500. 00 were arrested several Police Officers were also injured from marco max it was a sign that blacks were no longer prepared to turn the other cheek the spiral of violence had begun 1600 was a ducky. And to 86 people were mostly. In a dizzying 100 hour the nigger. Least that was my name. In a t. V. 60 how was the negro. And then brought them out all came along. And then some nigger shouted down them down. But the bitter truth lives on. On february the 21st 1965 malcolm x. Was assassinated at the start of a political meeting in the audubon theater in harlem 3 men shot him at close range. One of the killers a member of the nation of islam was arrested the same day his violent death abruptly ended one of americas most famous political debates. Martin luther king gave his public reaction a few days later i think malcolm x. He played a role in pointing out the problem calling attention to it but his great problem was an inability to emerge with a solution he had slogans that. Were captured and that people listen to but i dont think he ever pointed out the solution to the problem. Didnt was that in death markham x. Would become much more than a rival he became a memory the revolutionary consciousness for a generation of young blacks. Word of his death spread through the ghettos and resonated like a revenge on king. 6 days of rioting in a negro section of los angeles left behind scenes reminiscent of war torn city more than 100. 00 square blocks were decimated by fire and looters as the National Guard moved in to restore comparative calm in the 2nd half of the 1960 s. America entered a long cycle of race riots Media Attention shifted from the south to the ghettos of the north king following this movement he campaigned to denounce the economic injustices that blacks faced in americas major cities. King described riots. As temp attention of children ill people who dont have an option can put that effect cry out to say i am somebody and hear this sent to me you know what you dont want to me and can i understood that and he realized. That the sign a staff. Of resistance is dead he it used in the south would not work in the know up is that everyone isnt in washington i Senatorial Committee rosette help to investigate rising violence in the ghettos the king was summoned to put forth his position on the talking basically. Economic and social yes thats correct 100 because i think. That it is necessary to see at this point that the issues which we confront all the hard. Core Economic Issues for about a decade we worked on public accommodations and the right to vote and as i said earlier it was necessary to do this and audit to remove a stigma or an audit to remove the humiliation of a caste system but now we moving into an area where we must demand basic reforms that will deal with these basic Economic Issues our whole problem of housing and education and i think weve got to see that this is much harder it was easier to integrate public facilities it was easier to gain the right to vote because it didnt cost the nation anything he was moving into the arena of economics. At konami justice. And that was a whole different arena and a lot of people who supported him in trying to get rid of the laws about sin on the back of a bus and being able to eat at the lunch counter when he saw talk about the economic board some of those people who will start pulling away this is that there was a newborn this is another ball game when you see kang in his later lie he begins to refer to our leaders radical black sand i have tradition who are so challenge the government and so you see cain talking about theyve turned man dream into a night man to begin to take a stand against the war in vietnam he began to pour our organize a Poor Peoples Campaign and fight against poverty that can. Was the king who became the radical king and thats when he began to move to what malcolm x. On april 4th 1968 Martin Luther king was assassinated in memphis. A few days later at his funeral the black community was not only mourning its National Leader 3 years after the violent death of malcolm x. It was laying to rest the 2 dreams that shapes the history of African Americans.

That is if great concern to pakistan innocent people being attacked killed raped. And to the pellet guns you know using eyesight you have seen this curfew. Theres a communication blackout. Journalism not being allowed in. New york food or not lets lets bring in priyanka groups for an update you joining us now from new delhi as were saying its the muslim holy day of fareed an important day for the muslim calendar but what are you hearing about the situation in indian administered kashmir right now. Winter in the indian media is reporting that there is a curfew like situation in st augustine which is the largest city in the region the government says the prayers were concluded peacefully in several parts of Kashmir Valley in fact thousands of people apparently attended prayers environment which is close to srinagar there are conflicting reports coming from the ground the information line dream is still down there are the phone lines are not working and internet is not working so theres very Little Information trickling in and out of the region but the government says that no untoward incident has been reported there are some restrictions that have been put in place in some areas because of security situation but according to the images that we see from srinagar in the city. Seem to be all closed the streets are all deserted there are more troops on the ground but the real issue really here is the complete the lack of access where it comes to communication the phone lines as i mentioned are still people in different parts of the country who want to get in touch with their families they con do so and meetings who are locked in the valley they have to wait for long hours to access the few for goods that are there in government offices to let their loved ones know of their well being and also wish them during this important festival in the stomach calendar as far as journalists a concerned its really difficult to get very far but an Accurate Information what we have heard from reuters news. Agency and the a. F. P. Is that they have been protests on sunday according to one of these 500 people participated in the protests but as of sunday evening the government says that no untoward incident was reported and that the valley remained largely peaceful but what the communication blockade really means is that kush marys are suffering theyre completely isolated from the rest of the world and its really difficult for journalists to do their job. Those has been walking for 3 hours from one pharmacy to the next he needs injections for a 70 year old mother she has cancer. Injections are not available in the market the situation here is bad nothing is available here. Pharmacies in srinagar are running out of medicine. And we dont have 50 percent of our stock the curfew continues will run out of our medicines and 13 or 15 days families like these are stuck at home because of security restrictions imposed by the Indian Government after 2 folk to reach its autonomy last week. 4 lines are down and internet is not working nobody knows what happened nobody tells us. Everything is done. This is not a lie this is not the modern world this is all gone i mean we are living in. This editor of an english daily says she hasnt been able to reach a journalist in the Kashmir Valley since monday shes filed a petition in indias top court to ask the government to live for strictures on the media we dont know all the drouet we are seeing a lot of different and very strikingly different words coming out which one is the. Picture its a very difficult to say with certainty the government says the restrictions are temporary and are aimed at ensuring law and order in the region but the Editors Guild of india say its concerned that theyre making it difficult to report accurately from the region and people here say that that vacuum is being filled by mr porter and what they call fake news on the internet Fact Checkers of the quaint and indeed online news websites say they have found 13 instances of fake news flooding the internet in recent days says there is no communication we dont know whats happening so i think when you talk about propaganda other thing isnt easy but anybody actually on board decides to just read or whatever they want to read big news be the kind of me was that they want people to believe it. Back in srinagar through those finally manages to get wanted jack should for his ailing mother but not all he will now have to look elsewhere for another day. As people and indeed it means to live under these unprecedented restrictions these are certain times. As are saying in your reports priyanka the government says that this lot done is temporary but what is the sense about what its actually trying to achieve by keeping those locked down going on. When the government says a low down is necessary to ensure the security situation remains largely peaceful they are saying that it is to maintain law and order but when we speak to journalists speaking to me as on the ground they say that its completely draconian because they have to access Television News channels for instance local news channels are reporting death in the family or birth in the family or any gotten messages so theyre using those local Television Channels as a conduit to reach to their neighbors to their family members who might be watching watching the news at the time its really difficult for the people who have been out for the long hours since 6 am some people say thousands of people queuing up outside the few foreign boards that are operating close to government offices that many of them dont even get the turn to speak to whoever they want to speak to even after waiting for long hours so this is definitely the most unprecedented crackdown when it comes to Communications Blackout according to journalists according to the media is that our journalists have been able to speak to all the year there have been restrictions on the internet they have been restrictions on communication but never before have the nines been snapped to such an extent today for instance in new delhi that the students and meetings who will be celebrating each far away from home and they havent spoken to their loved ones in the valley they havent been able to greet their family on this very important day of the government of course says that they are going to be installing 304 woods in the valley to ensure that the communication lines are open but but the question remains as as far as many journalists people are concerned is that how long can this continue and how long can this estate ok.

And the 2nd a lack of jobs that leads to Guatemala City more people to the u. S. Border than any of the country is probably why it is that all the way the problem is that since theres no work in guatemala many people migrate and sometimes its sad what happens to those who die or get killed while searching for a new future to help their family. Promise to stop creating jobs by increasing tourism and Foreign Investment to build what he calls an economic war its going to be tough inequality is deeply ingrained in a country thats the biggest economy in Central America but in which more than half the population live in poverty this way ill confirm it added to all this is an unexpected challenge to do just signed by the outgoing president with the u.
