STATE BY RAZOR THIN 11,000
VOTES.
BACK TO YOU.
DAVID: STEVE, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
BRING IN AMERICA FIRST POLICY
INSTITUTE, CENTER FOR THE
AMERICAN DREAM CHAIR, AND NIECE
OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.,
DR. ALVEDA KING.
DR. KING, WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU
AGAIN.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
APPRECIATE IT.
WHAT IS THE MAIN MESSAGE?
THE MESSAGE THAT YOUR UNCLE’S
LIFE REPRESENTS THAT MOST NEEDS
TO BE HEARD RIGHT NOW?
>> DAVID, THANK YOU SO VERY
MUCH.
OVER AT THE CENTER FOR THE
AMERICAN DREAM WITH AFPI WE CARE
ABOUT THE AMERICAN DREAM FOR
ALL-AMERICANS.
MY UNCLE, REVEREND
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. SAID
HE HAD A DREAM, THE AMERICAN
DREAM.
IT IS ROOTED IN THE AMERICAN
DREAM.
THAT OF COURSE WOULD DEAL WITH
VOTING, WITH RACISM, AND ALL OF
THE ISSUES THAT WE ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT TODAY.
TODAY I AM BOOSTS ON THE GROUND
IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF ATLANTA,
GEORGIA.
WE HAD TERRIBLE WEATHER.
SOME FAMILIES IN NEED, SINGLE
MOTHERS, SENIORS, HOMELESS,
ELDERLY.
SO WE’RE DELIVERING FOOD AND
PRAYER TO THE COMMUNITY TODAY.
I BELIEVE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT
WE CAN APPRECIATE AS AMERICANS.
MY UNCLE SAID THAT HE DREAMED
AFTER DAY WOULD BE NO BLACK
POWER, NO WHITE POWER, ONLY GOD
POWER AND HUMAN POWER.
HE SAID WE MUST LEARN TO LIVE
TOGETHER AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS
AND NOT PERISHED TOGETHER AS
FOOLS.
THAT IS FOR MEN AND WOMEN AND
CHILDREN.
THAT IS A 365 DAYS A YEAR EFFORT
AND WE HAVE TO BE BUSY BUILDING
THE AMERICAN DREAM FOR ALL
PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF SKIN COLOR.
I BELIEVE THAT THE VOTE IS
IMPORTANT.
I REALLY DO AND I OF COURSE DID
MARCH AND GO TO JAIL IN THE
1960S AS A YOUTH ORGANIZER FOR
ALL OF THESE VERY IMPORTANT
CAUSES.
DAVID: BUT YOU KNOW A LOT OF
PEOPLE SAY THAT WE KIND OF GOT
DERAILED A LITTLE BIT IN THE
PAST COUPLE OF YEARS FROM THE
DREAM THAT YOU JUST ENUNCIATED
SO BEAUTIFULLY OF WHAT YOUR
UNCLE SAID, WHAT YOUR LIFE
REPRESENTED AS WELL, THE LIFE OF
YOUR FAMILY.
IT’S A MOVE DERAILMENT THAT
WE’RE TRYING TO CORRECT NOW OR
AT LEAST SOME PEOPLE ARE,
INCLUDING THE GOVERNOR OF
VIRGINIA, THE NEW GOVERNOR OF
VIRGINIA.
HE SPOKE TO ONE POINT AT WHICH
WE BECAME DERAILED.
THAT IS THE WHOLE CRITICAL RACE
THEORY, THAT IS ONE OF THE
REASONS HE GOT ELECTED.
LET ME ROLL A LITTLE BIT OF
SOUND FROM HIM YESTERDAY ON
"FOX NEWS SUNDAY," GET YOUR
REACTION.
ROLL TAPE.
>> TO ACTUALLY TEACH OUR
CHILDREN THAT ONE GROUP IS
ADVANTAGED AND ANOTHER IS
DISADVANTAGED SIMPLY BECAUSE OF
THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN CUTS
ACROSS EVERYTHING WE KNOW TO BE
TRUE.
IN THE IMMORTAL WORDS OF
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING RING IN
OUR EARS WE MUST JUDGE ONE
ANOTHER BY THE CONTENT OF OUR
CHARACTER, NOT THE COLOR OF OUR
KIN.
DAVID: DOES THE NEW GOVERNOR
HAVE IT RIGHT, ALVEDA?
>> ACTUALLY THE NEW GOVERNOR
MAKES AN EXCELLENT POINT. WE HAVE BEEN DERAILED FROM THE
WE HAVE BEEN DERAILED FROM THE
AMERICAN DREAM AND THE DREAM OF
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR
ABORTING 63 MILLION BABIES SINCE
1973.
WE HAVE BEEN DERAILED WHEN YOU
SAY TO A CAULKCATION GIRL YOU
ARE EVIL BECAUSE OF YOUR SKIN
COLOR.
YOU NEED TO APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR
SKIN COLOR, APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR
RACISM, THE LITTLE GIRL, THAT IS
DERAILING THE AMERICAN DREAM.
WE HAVE TO COME BACK TOGETHER
WITH HUMAN DIGNITY FROM THE WOMB
TO THE TOMB FOR EVERYONE.
WE SHOULDN’T BE ARGUING OVER,
FOR INSTANCE, DID YOU TAKE THE
SHOT?
NO.
WHY DIDN’T YOU TAKE THE SHOT?
DID YOU TAKE THE SHOT?
YES.
WHY DID YOU TAKE THE SHOT?
THEN BECOMING ENEMIES OVER
ARGUING OVER OUR HEALTH HERE IN
AMERICA.
WE HAVE GOT TO COME TOGETHER AS
BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND NOT
PERISH TOGETHER AS FOOLS.
DAVID: YOU KNOW, I THINK IF I
WAS TO THINK OF ONE MAJOR GOAL
OF YOUR UNCLE IT WOULD BE THAT
BRINGING TOGETHER OF AMERICA,
NOT JUST OF AMERICA BUT ALL
PEOPLE ON THE PLANET AND RIGHT
NOW THERE SEEMS TO BE PEOPLE
THAT ARE SO INTERESTED IN THEIR
PERSONAL GOALS THEY BECOME, MAKE
THIS COUNTRY EVEN MORE DIVISIVE
THAN IT WAS BEFORE.
IT IS AN END TO THAT KIND OF
DIVISION THAT WE WERE PROMISED
BY THE CURRENT PRESIDENT BUT
MANY
MANY SOME OF HIS POLICIES SEEM
TO GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
>> WE NEED TO MAKE IT EASY TO
VOTE, HARD TO CHEAT.
WE NEED TO STRENGTHEN FATHERHOOD
IN AMERICA.
WE NEED GOOD EDUCATION FOR ALL
OF OUR CHILDREN.
THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY HUNGRY
FAMILIES OUT IN THE STREETS.
THAT IS WHAT WE’RE DOING TODAY,
FEEDING THE COMMUNITY AT THAT.
SO WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER.
MY UNCLE, MARTIN LUTHER KING,
JR., BELIEVED IN FAITH, HOPE AND
LOVE FOR THE WHOLE HUMAN
COMMUNITY DEFINITELY IN AMERICA.
THAT IS PART OF
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.’S
AMERICAN DREAM.
DAVID: YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A
GREAT PHILOSOPHER WHO PASSED
AWAY ON FRIDAY.
HER NAME WAS ALICE VON HILL
TODAY BRAND, SHE HAD A GOOD LONG
LIFE.
SHE WAS 98 WHEN SHE PASSED AWAY.
I WANT TO READ THE QUOTE FROM
HER IN OUR DILEMMA RUSH TO
TECHNOLOGY LEAVING GOD BEHIND.
THE WORLD WHICH WE NOW LIVE IS A
WORLD WHOSE OUT LOOK IS SO
DISTORTED WE ABSOLUTIZE WHAT IS
RELATIVE, MONEY MAKING, POWER
AND SUCCESS AND RELATIVE WHAT IS
ABSOLUTE, TRUTH, MORAL VALUES
AND GOD.
WE REALLY GOT TO GET BACK TO
BASICS OF TRUTH.
THE BASICS OF MORAL VALUES AND
THE BASICS OF GOD.
I DON’T THINK YOUR UNCLE EVER
LOST SIGHT OF THAT.
>> HE DID NOT.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., THE
PREACHER AND THE PROFIT WOULD
SAY HURRY BACK TO GOD.
GET SOLUTIONS FROM HEAVEN, PUT
THEM IN ACTION.
I DO BELIEVE A DAY OF SERVICE.
WE ARE SERVING THE DREAM.
AS WE SERVE THE STREAM SERVE THE
PEOPLE THAT NEED US MOST.
THAT IS A WAY TO REMEMBER
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
DAVID: GREAT SUGGESTION.
DR. ALVEDA KING, WONDERFUL TO
YOU HERE IN THIS MOMENT OF
REMEMBRANCE OF YOUR GREAT-UNCLE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
HERE.
