But then its very important for us to each and every day how we devalue sproat progress and theres been some criticism of philippines volcanologists that they werent able to predict the scale of this eruption especially as activity was detected many involves ago but then this volcano just goes to prove that even with all of their expertise and active volcanoes such as this one is still notoriously unpredictable.

Some 164. 00 new yorkers in the grip of rioting clashes between white police and inhabitants of black neighborhoods have turned 510 years of struggle for civil rights have not brought an end to the injustices and racism suffered by black americans. Boiled over after a Police Officers shot dead a black teenager. In harlem the indignation and revolt was embodied by one man. X. In photographs he projects a role intensity to match his stated indignation at 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 acts white men revenue Martin Luther king subsidize robin Martin Luther king so that revenue looking can continue to think the negroes to be defense. Martin luther king never responded to malcolms 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 edged into memories an image that brings together the 2 opposing dreams of the black calls. Hang on a let nobody turn me round to me round turn me round and go on and live nobody turn me round im gonna key bano walk again keep on walk on up to freedom. The Civil Rights Movement was the singing 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. For a right because we have a duty to. Call when you said above and you. Were sitting down because you have a duty to. Have a right you have a duty to step back because the language is good and bad you have a bow. And 6 if you let the right man get into you. About. Him was workin take down side now. That prevented black people from ride in buses where they wanted to and to ride and train Public Transportation prevented them from voted in and all of those things that black people were paid fans from doing and the stuff but not in the know what black saval 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. I move 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 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 lead 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 figure out that it is time for you or me to hear for ourselves and it is time for you and me to fight for ourselves we dont need anybody today speaking or are being harassed or fighting for iraq 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 site the movies you know that all of those things were part of that psychological attack to make us feel inferior one has to realize that 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 transformed their racial crouches snits of black people. So that they no longer were ashamed of being black the honorable Elijah Muhammad us that theyre from 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 home oh type of 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 what 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 you said that there are a great many misconceptions about your attitude 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. Mike 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 rule of channel cattle animals commodity merchandise that could be bought and sold it will and then 100 years since the emancipation proclamation 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 them ok malcolm spoke to the fight 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 caving around of the hand and artists 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 in 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 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 overt weapons. Oppress people in the. 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 their 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 of 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 can see myself falling down on my knees and given any kind of extra advantage to my enemy malcolm says somebody here to you send him to the cemetery the nonviolent strategy of modern new thick king jr from now come back was a week 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 that you can cant show freedom yell seth 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 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 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 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 override my anything that any of the 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 birmingham. 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 little to try and mix with someone who doesnt love you well that doesnt mean that we in any any way condone what those friends are doing in birmingham alabama people should know that it is no accident that long balls 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 the negro well i dont think of love as in this context as emotional bond i dont think of it as we all but i think the love of 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 revan Martin Luther king so that we havent Martin Luther king can continue to keep the negroes to be defenseless thats what you mean by not valid the defense must be defenseless in the face of one of the most cruel beat that has ever taken the people into captivity thats the american way. Of the burning spark utopian dreams of peace and democracy but how many came to pass they transformed from democrats but it was a fake democracy people in power travels through the former eastern bloc to waspy.

S. National oceanic and Atmospheric Administration thats my lot for today thanks become the daryns here with you in half an hour back now to part 2 of face to face. The be. d malcolm x. And Martin Luther king 2 legendary figures with opposing visions for American Civil Rights and into their rivalry plays out on prime Time Television in the United States from. Dr king is full equality you know 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 with slain white man who had to live a 400 years the goal of dr Martin Luther king is to get negroes to forgive the people who have them 400 you have but by letting them to sleep and making them forgetting what the whites have done to them. Criticize my. Because he was trying to win. Our ballo to sick nakes to why people are in a restaurant but malcolm says i mean thats not freedom sitting next to white people is not freedom for said whites 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 them. 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 for 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 in birmingham and elsewhere have 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 now the t. V. Cameras are always looking for well dressed marchers an and that this was part of the organizing of the march where your best close right youre going to be seen by the nation so the impulse seems to be on the day of the march to portray theres for in Television Viewers as nonthreatening ans you know this is the ideal this is what integration looks like the jimmy was i was like a picnic it had all those like a picnic like at was fewer to iow of this like totally unimpressed and although i was you know i had already accepted brother malcolm interpretation to be good from listen to have speak but but a to me it was it was i was out when you look when you when i was there and i was hit muzzle why would anyone of jet to this this is agree this is agree coombe for the kid in the administration makes him look as though theyre doing something and something may do its going on and i have a 3 time liar oh itll show ren one a day live in an ace and where they will not be exerted by the color to mass yeah and but by the content a back errant of 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 the home it out of barack obama with its been such a race with the governor having him going after tripping with the words a better 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 good at this is going to drop a bomb 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 promissary note and we have come here today to cast a chip that to be thats bothered me and in terms of an 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 oh the opportunity of this nation so we come to cash this 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 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 he didnt agree with cream. 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 ceased to be 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 to start. Hearing. That song to see what speech they could make in with a speech to cover me and then told them to 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 malcolm 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 night 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 do it in chicago today a larger mohamad the leader of any white muslin 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. What it was what she did come in was basically words was the same as saying what you reap is what you sow and brother malcolm position was with dedicated it ministration had allowed all of that violence to occur in birmingham in other places and 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 ive been because he was able to it 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 now on 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 as a kind of a liberal tory he felt liberated in fact he had some point said something about the strait jacket is no longer on him now he can move and become more political because i 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 and 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 it in a larger picture and 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 muslims those who are already muslim 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 wont be joining them nor will they be joining us but we will Work Together on any objective that we havent come all 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 x. Exists always wanted to meet king. And debate with. King our ways refuse to meet with. Logic maybe cowardice he knew that if he met with america. Support from the White Community would be our most eliminated so king had to carry himself in such a way that the support for which he gat 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 it 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 malcolm symbol live is something that is in our our africanamerican each of us has a little bit of martin as a little bit american and us see malcolm represents that blackness enoughs that sands that we are all white even messing with us we are the david now come represent that fire that fight that refusal to let any bad a define who we are can represent side desire are to get along with everybody and couldnt price our desire to want to create a society for all people define by nonviolence love and care for our 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 donkey. And said hed leave 65 of us leave. Him a dizzying 100 how of the nigger. Least that was my name. In a t. V. 60 how was the negro. And then roll them out all came along. And then some nigger shouted now now. 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. People listen to but i dont think he ever pointed out the solution to the problem. What king didnt know was that in death marcom 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 to 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 sinai. 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 was set up to investigate rising violence in the ghettos 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.
