In photographs he projects are role intensity to match his stated indignation and the abuse that american blacks have suffered malcolm x. Was the spokesman for the nation of islam the black Muslim Movement that preached supremacy of blacks over whites. At the start of the 1960 s. The media were constructing a combat that stirred the civil rights debate malcolm x. Versus Martin Luther king leader of the Civil Rights Movement who was fighting against segregation in the southern states. Martin luther king the hero of nonviolent resistance was a favorite target of markham ex white men have a Martin Luther king subsidized revenue. So that revenue looking can continue to the negroes to be defense. Martin luther king never responded to muslims attacks he never agreed to debate with him the only time the ever met in washington the 2 men shook hands but barely spoke to each other. But one photo remains etched into memories an image that brings together the 2 opposing dreams of the black calls. Thank god i let nobody turn me round to me around. Me round i am going to. Turn me round im gonna keyboard or walk again keep i. Walk on up to freedom. The Civil Rights Movement with the swinging movement. We were in the deep south and africanamerican people were church going people and for the most part were in Christian Churches one thing Martin Luther king brought me to was a preacher baptist preacher a message he brought was we must take the church out of these 4 walls thats a direct quote from martin. Martin luther king underwent his political baptism in alabama one of the most races states in the south where many whites continue to behave as if slavery had not been abolished a century before. In Montgomery King organize a campaign to boycott the buses it was the start of a major struggle against laws that kept whites and blacks apart in public areas and the denied blacks their right to vote. Have a right because we have a duty to. Call when youre. Sitting there because you have a duty to. Have a right you have a duty to step back because the language is bad you have a bow. And 6 if you let the right man. Carrying was work in the take down sign. That prevent it black people from riding in buses where they wanted to and to ride in trains Public Transportation prevented them from voting in all of those 3 things that black people were prevented from doing in the south but not in the not blacks of our ways could vote. But as malcolm said you may have the vote but you end up voting for nothing because theyve already decided that youre not going to have any power but. I moved to harlem in the summer of 1962 and i are moving in on a friday Night Saturday morning we got up instead of unpacking all of that we decided we were going to walk down the main street in harlem which is linux avenue which is now malcolm x. Boulevard and she would just look at the community when we got down coast in an exam know we saw a crowd gathering so we said oh i was going go and he said malcolm x. Is going to speak weve heard of him you know to boogie man he was the boogie man and believed in violence and shouldnt kill white folks and all that kind of stuff but thats mainly what we had heard so we said listen weve got to say it is time for you and me to favor our set it is time for you and me to hear for ourselves and it is time for you and me to fight for our set we dont need anybody today speaking for our thing for us or fighting for he spent a lot of time talking about the psychological attacks of White Supremacy the attacks on our minds and that to me was like completely eye opening when i begin to hear and i begin to cause to realize all the things that have been happening to me as a child growing up and other things that i now realize were a part of that sect the movies you know that all of those things were part of that psychological attack to make us feel inferior one has to be alive then to calm the person black kinda fiftys and sixtys was in in south and thing to did it was mathematics who i am most single handedly. Trance for their racial consciousness of black people so that they no longer were ashamed of being black the honorable Elijah Muhammad us that theyre from stealing. And we didnt steal he stopped us from gambling and he stopped us from law stealing runs rampant you know gamely runs rampant in home oh right for the 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 as 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. My had it 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 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 crack 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 by 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 the son of the emerged as the leader of the Civil Rights Movement. 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 sought to provoke the violence of the authorities demonstrators were told to show no hostility towards the adversary but to resist peaceful. Method of hundreds assistance is one of the most potent if not the most potent weapons. 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 laws 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 your turn the other 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 cant see myself falling down on my knees and giving 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 thick king jr from now come back was a weak philosophy it was a philosophy of turn the other cheek it was a philosophy of not hitting and back and now come comes from a black nationalist tradition that does not but the day q can you cant show freedom yossef respect yo get me. By sit play the lead in 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 at 963 was the year of Martin Luther kings tryon 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 wean 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 in birmingham was a city that embodied a southern racism where whites like to repeat the governors slogan segregation now segregation tomorrow segregation forever can you 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 christ. This 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. Oh no. 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 the 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 you know. After the events of burning Martin Luther king and malcolm x. Were interviewed a few days apart for a programme 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 the 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 the organizing itself and powerful i direct action and i think some of the criticisms on nonviolence of some of the critics fail to realize is that we are talking about something very strong and they can few. Nonresistance with nonviolence and. 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 non violent insistence upon the rights of the American Negro what is your attitude a lot of white men have been Martin Luther king subsidize luther king so that revenue Martin Luther king can continue to keep the negroes to be defenseless thats what you mean but not about the defense must be defenseless and that they have one of the most cruel. That has ever taken the people into captivity after the american white man. The 21st century began with extraordinary Economic Growth across much of latin america. But since this halted in 2008 theres been a political shift to the right on a continent where socialism once thrived to. Politician goes on a journey to me leading left wing figures to understand why that politics have lost ground so dramatic a. Latin america a giant in time Oil Coming Soon ive worked at aljazeera english since its launch as a principal presenter and as a correspondent with any breaking news story in the world to hear from those people who would normally not get the voices heard on the International News channel one moment ill be very proud of when we covered the whole earthquake of 2050 a terrible Natural Disaster and the story that needed to be told from the heart of the affected area to be that to tell the people story was very important at the time.

The United Arab Emirates egypt and russia have those allies and after todays meeting between the russian president Vladimir Putin and german chancellor Angela Merkel most call and the call for an immediate cease fire in tripoli to pave the way to the believe in peace talks between the rival factions but it does not seem i mean the announcement by have to a spokesman short a little while ago does not seem to be concrete and another cease fire brokered by turkey and russia has also come into effect in syria as it lead province it comes less than 24 hours after at least 20 people were killed in Government Air strikes in and around in. The u. K.

Of those are the headlines and now lets take you back to face to face stay with us. The bullets of the above the being the beyond the bullets of the arab. To. The bone. d malcolm x. And Martin Luther king 2 legendary figures with opposing visions for American Civil Rights and into their wives every plays out on Primetime Television in the United States from. Dr king is full equality and all right citizenship for negro league all of dr Martin Luther king is to give negro the chance a certain of segregated restaurant plain white man to live in for 400 years the goal of dr Martin Luther king is to get negroes to forgive the people who have brutalized them for 100 years but by letting them to sleep and making them forgetting what the whites have done so they come criticize my because he was trying to win. Our ballo to sick nates to why people are in a restaurant but malcolm 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 and then. June 11th 1963 mocked 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 that the world and much more importantly to each other that this is a land of the free except the negroes that we have no 2nd class citizens except negroes and we have no class or caste 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 and birmingham and elsewhere if so increased the christ require at it but no city or state all legislative body can prudently choose to ignore them a few days later at the white owes 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. 00 blanks the administration was afraid the unrest would spill over onto the streets of the Nations Capital king rio sure 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 form of proceedings line from t. V. Thanks to cameras set up along the route the 3 National Networks gave why youd coverage to the event which was the culmination of a decade of intend 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 eves see images of marchers and the emphasis is always on dignity it so you see these framed portraits of marchers you know the t. V. Cameras are always looking for well dressed marchers 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 i when you look when you when i was there and i will say to myself why would anyone object to this this is a great this is great. For the Kennedy Administration makes it look as though theyre doing something and something major is going on and i have a 3. Time liar. One day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of america yet but by the content of back eric i havent i am god now you have 250000 people you know gathered in one place seemingly on the same page. Seemingly there to idolize the kind of iconic value that dr king represented at the end and even 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 his country could do on capitol stream bed one day. Home it out about mum with that fish races. With the governor having him conniptions tripping with the words a better position another fictitious one dance band in alabama a little black boy was in fact wont be able to join hands and im afraid gordon right girl 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 fish of young black folks is the full fathers of this country gave us a promissory note and we have come here today to cash that check that to be best served by likely did in terms of image created in the my that was a powerful statement. Totally ignored. By god we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is backed. By we refuse to believe that about i an official from the great oh the opportunity of this nation so we come to a cashiers check check that will give up the pun demand the riches of freedom and the security of stuff. From uncle max the march on washington was an event to be rejected in a famous speech he attacked what he called the farce on washington. The clear 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 brotherhood took it over and there they took it over the last us militancy they seized me angry they seized me how. 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 sound asleep. 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 him in heaven rally last sunday not them 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 glad in chicago today a large amount of the leader of any white muslin movement suspended malcolm x. And this about his statement you know you let the chickens out in the morning they go around and they always come back. What it was chicken was basically was was the same as saying what you reap is what you sow and brother malcolm position was that the kid in the 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 quality in. Malcolm is saying kennedy deserved to be shot i personally wish he had not said that because it was not true because i believe every word of it but because he was able to provide 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 and large a Mohammed Markham x. Was finally banished from the nation of islam from now on he had to speak for himself do you consider yourself a militant. I can tell my thought now. I think when he left the nation of islam in march of 1964. He felt it just a great degree after a kind of a liberal tory he felt liberated in fact he had 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 meant if im in trouble when he says something about kidneys 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 while the basic difference will be probably more flexible and its not my intention to teach among muslims those who are already most but to take mr mohammed 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 have and that will be 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 to capitol hill king saw an unexpected visitor at the back of the room it was marcom x. Malcolm an exit always 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 so 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 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 in our us 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 to 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. d 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 were the negroes. And then run them out all came along. And then some nigger shouted down them down. But the bitter truth lives on. On february the 21st 965. 00 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 the habs low guns that. Were catchy 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 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 temper tensions of children ill people who dont have an option to put that effect cry out to say i am somebody and here listen to me you know what you dont want to me and king 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 it is that everyone isnt in washington a Senatorial Committee was set up 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.
