as much as we've been through two world wars the korean conflict great depression and something of a social revolution experienced in america and other countries of the world in many respects we are living in revolutionary times some of the violent raucous and observable but on the other hand some of the peaceful quiet and almost imperceptible their own almost been huge in tumult and shame there seems to be the involvement of the central theme freedom than remake the western world considers lieberman remembered something value primary in our heritage in an article the vanishing of racial prejudice in the nation and segregation is a problem the command center stage brought attention it is important not only in removing prejudices against minority
groups and abolishing segregation and discrimination but it is also important to america's posture in the home world and probably has tremendous relationship of the very survival of the western world and its back in the center of the struggle for democracy in america and for the removal of the blight of segregation and discrimination and for all men who have stated says first class citizens is the reverend dr martin luther king pastor of the dexter avenue baptist church in montgomery alabama more important the mound with some food personality need in the montgomery bus boycott the most remarkable and successful expansion of nonviolent resistance ever witnessed not only in america but anywhere in the western world we're pleased to have witnessed today dr king arguing we believe that your experience in training your
dedication to the realization oh man with a free society which you can provide us with some ideas let me only what he calls the mark one of the things we like to ask you this is what is the arctic to a problem which he wants the grill is solid name and the name freedom said well i've been through world going on and so they can end of the existence of the system and they almost everyday saying who are less than you know a
nation tragedy assistance not only mitt romney's long will this happened but about something so segregated trolley paulson's segregated paulson and so that's one of the problems with a major label in france in the rhythm and all this is an ass i'm not really believe in democracy system stronger all
say they will never come balder my whole another location saved lives on in britain has banned all parties in this or seven so it's been gradually working now and that's a system that makes it possible for all the tension in vain dr king any historical fact the last decade say that most like to see it but yeah so i said sure i'd and so i think newsome says and nineteen
unfollow been a great sense of hope and also a movie and so that one of the great things in this century the nation in an instance of thinking that i'm not on the bottom and fill the world with and in and mentioned will in fact win and then they were all in jail and then wilson wilson
oh it's interesting too many of these students are on minority groups in this country the supreme court seat as it seeks to desegregation so does not deal with something called the law is that unless we want to bring down the regime which this law a law firm and they own neighborhood so that suggests some particular voters forty five and so i think it is quite that in vermont you have tension all
great racial com and seven type of segregation that in not only in hand and seven he hadn't fallen more difficult to get a thousand more faith in the nation and i think we agree with industry lemonade discrimination in public and private longer and no section and clean and some sanctions are the most intensive farming in
some sections of the system and start buckle at the end in all the nation in some mall in a lawn mower and one of the great law cases decided by the supreme court of the united states to do one with me and force restrictive covenants would maybe not unconstitutional but on a lot of the parts for these problems the forest yet even with this decision they are still as restrictive covenant mind we are witnessing or
not a patient because i didn't want that in america now since nineteen fifty we've witnessed a considerable migration only goes from a solid to western audiences and also some immigration from puerto rico puerto ricans in some cities like the city does this in migration all law on cultural and puerto ricans who bought the hotel in particular problem or sit
at and so i think they are where you have the migration some problems emerged along on in the united states the migration and they'll admit that on some bombs that location and this happens in the long run in the arab and a railroad to help them in other golf lunacy so all changed on that will be welcomed in the nation
and in that we find in the launch phase and in the netherlands and criminal and so on the one hand to help people move in situations in the community of la mission that came on the market and in an education so that they will not have that went into
law center left coalition poverty and often they'll say that poverty and crime whatever religion working you work of such organizations as the national urban league and other voluntary associations single handedly problems of my community or some of the students are urban problems are beginning to say that this matter has reached such tremendous i mentioned question that innovation through voluntary organizations is the meaning or an assumption of responsibility by governmental agencies commissions other executive orders or by legislative
actions they legislate new have anything to say to us about the possibility of the desirability of government assumed it ends up with not only the problem of migration and just the modern urban community the court really seemed that the constitutional rights opponents say the bailout will play on civility and that local state and also i think that
will all end on that there has been all of it all and things are constitutional hall of available to import a lot more positive and local agencies in every state and in an american city veterans and that's all that will happen with one lovely very interesting aspects of this problem but many people have raised questions about whether or not the result of persecutions violence of opportunities which he both directed that they have to put their toward doing the
law is there anything in the religious and spiritual background or even whether certain relationships developed in the plantation economy between the ghost lights out their own law on this particular matter said well i have no doubt that the system of segregation in this instance that no vividly can call though some haven't been in a solemn burden of all in new hampshire the one in any situation spending or go right
in there and in the end all capable american veterans home in russia are not i think we are sitting there and saying that you can have of song all the loopholes in the law only intensify and peyton manning sensed an optimal allocation mcconnell reaching a so that there is this whole emphasis mean most people of violence of civil wrongs but also
moments that and i think you all know the nation learned all he can and the natives all over the world in same the ransom and beyond the tribal belt and in real life in those residents also about aig got within the individual the ongoing process of sort of how the self that i've been going through a young mom from politicians and in
the nation and this subject so people who have a pay in uk and so the us will also not physically sevens thoughts on time advocated this philosophy involved more than active at or even social problem even for their asylum who do i think will a lot of the problems that people always
elusive problem of how one can stand up the forces of evil and there've always been thought of song the only been about hating their own straw that i am alone in this study a lot i'm loving it and you do not want to stand firm against the non violent velvet will not possible to
know that in the past they've been doing this and i've been in love and there's creative and full of sentiment and we are strong all the mines themselves and that nonviolent action but at the same time something went bad when one rises there's no they haven't gotten reagan changed how we hear so much about changing the relationships in whites what you see today in this
press towards freedom is really active people watch a parasite called the communists that the supreme court might conduct is this kind of carrying on a horse what the situation was in line so that's i think one of the things all the reaction has been in camp in a livable soul an artist in san marino well have done more in defeat communism and our nation will move on and show that when they thought
they had a great victory and our nation and develop new understanding respect for marathons on all the people in the nation and right now in all of the more than five thousand discrimination and segregation all of them more than they owe the more damage than all of them and see how tall considerably above the responsibility which the negro league only major crimes we're bringing to vote first class
citizenship cancerous presidents of segregation discrimination because they're not some high responsibility for giving it's got to be bringing in this new society or freedom or gas i think that is very very long long long the nation thought we'd re lifespan some people in the spectrum in improvements inside and outside seoul the pestilence saw segregation development

- Description
- Episode Description
- "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," is the theme of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's episode. Dr. King, who sprang into national prominence for his leadership of the Montgomery, Alabama, segregated bus boycott, is interviewed by Negro lawyer and Minneapolis civic leader Municipal Court Judge L. Howard Bennet. The two men discuss in detail the struggle which still faces the American Negro in his effort for equal treatment. Despite progressive legislation, there is still a great deal of racial discrimination, and Dr. King and Judge Bennett quietly and firmly analyze the tasks awaiting both Negroes and white men in completing the process of integration. Dr. King says more positive action in the Federal and local government is required to solve these problems constructively. Dr. King ends the episode by commenting, "The more we break down the forces of segregation and discrimination, the more we can build up the forces of democracy. This is the strongest weapon we have against Communism." (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
