bernice king. >>> what about saying that the fbi and the nypd may have had a hand in his death? >> these have been concerning allegations from the beginning. it has long been known that the federal government had been clueding with other elements. assume that they had been colluding with other elements. for the families and supporters of the truth and justice and malcolm x himself, this is proof positive that the assassination went far beyond the nation of islam. >> the letter is attributed to raymond wood. a former nypd office here confessed before dying that the nypd and fbi conspired in the assassination. i see you got the striped shirt and blue navy jacket memo today? i think you look great. >> thanks so much. >> that will do it for me today. if you're going outside. wear a mask. if you're staying in, ayman mohyeldin picks up our coverage next. mohyeldin picks up our coverage next ♪♪ if you have moderate to severe psoriasis... or psoriatic arthritis, little things, can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream... ...it's a p

go back to that tweet from bernice king. it really struck me for more reasons than i can articulate. but finally, i figured it out. her father actually preached on this very matter. on what titles mean to us. back in 1968, dr. king gave a sermon at ebenezer baptist church in atlanta called the drum-major instinct. it focused on our tendency to affirm our significance by seeking status. but he reminded the congregation what jesus said. the greatest among you will be your servant. as dr. king put it, all the degrees and intellect and knowledge and acumen and expertise in the world mean nothing to a person who truly values service. quote, you only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love, and you can be that servant. unquote. at the end of the day, a doctorate in education is about serving students. about being better educators. not better than teachers, without a doctorate. far from it. but the best they could be. and frankly, better paid as well. why teachers have to get a doctorate to be paid what they're worth i

want to bring in bernice king, ceo of the king center. bernice, thanks for joining us on this thanksgiving holiday. you heard my conversation with cal. i think probably one of the hardest things for ahmaud arbery's family is seeing that empty chair on this thanksgiving holiday. it hurts even more on a holiday like today when family is supposed to be together and it is about safety and security and loving one another. let me play some sound for you from reverend al sharpton who was on the 9:00 a.m. hour of msnbc. he talked about how he helped the family prepare for worst case scenario. >> even though i felt the evidence was rock solid, i prepared them for the worst. when they read the charge and we had the first guilty, i think wanda breaking down crying is the only thing that stopped me from crying. because the tears i had was that finally we got something for one of these families. >> and it is real in this country, bernice, right? even with evidence rock solid, you always wonder how is this thing going to go. as we've seen so many other

what bernice king bernice king taken the nobel peace prize and their father's traveling bible because the brothers want to sell them. that's why you saw in the video of the press conference that you saw, that you just showed, a lot of people standing behind her and there are a lot of people around the country who are very upset about the brothers plans. >> is it really about the selling of these pieces of history, if you will, or is there a bigger issue at play here? what is the major sticking point that they just cannot seem to get past? >> if you're going to sell the nobel peace prize and martin luther king's traveling bible, money is the issue here. but i think bernice king is on to something where she talks about there is a greater cause here on right side of history. a lot of people have said and i tend to agree, that it's just -- those two items, those two artifacts are sacred. they are sacred to their father's memory and sacred to not only the civil rights movement but the history of this country and the idea that those two things would be sold and sold to the highest bidder is

we're expecting to hear now from bernice king. let's listen in. >> president obama, mrs. obama, presidents carter and clinton, congressman lewis, ambassador young, to my brother martin iii, dexter scott king, and to my entire family, i was 5 months old when my father delivered his "i have a dream" speech, and i probably was somewhere crawling on the floor or taking a nap after having a meal. but today is a glorious day because on this program today we have witnessed a manifestation of the beloved community. and we thank everyone for their presence here today. today we have been honored to have three presidents of the united states. 50 years ago the president did not attend. today we are honored to have many women in the planning and mobilization of the 50th anniversary of the march on washington. 50 years ago there was not a single woman on the program. today we are honored to have not just one young person but several young people on the program today. it is certainly a tribute to the work and the legacy of so many people that have gone on before us. 50 years ago today i

king's daughter and ceo of the king center bernice king thank you so much for being here i'm curious, about the earliest memorial you have of the man i know you referred to him as uncle john. >> yes in our family we refer to in the movement as aunt and uncle and he was certainly one of those. a couple of memories my mother when she started the king center, she wanted to ensure that people understand the work of nonviolence went behind the victories of the civil rights movement and so we have used to have institutes on nonviolence and i remember him participating in those over and over again he was still fairly young at that time as well. and then when i was 16 years old and his wife lillian lewis, aunt lillian, planned a sweet 16 party for me at their home and so those are some of the my early memories of him from a personal standpoint. and we all were so excited when he ran for congress, of course to represent us here in the fifth congressional district and certainly will miss his moral voice and his ability to appeal to the conscience of not just the congress but to those of us in t

to compel king's daughter bernice king to turn over the items. bernice king says that her brothers only want the items so they can sell them for profit. in a news conference today, she said she is disassociating herself from her brothers. >> it's not about another sibling rivalry. it's about standing on principle. it's important that i am on the right side of history. when the record books are written, let it be said that there was at least one heir who tried to further the legacy left by her father and mother. >> dr. king's traveling bible was used in president obama's second inauguration. >>> still ahead, our "newsroom" gut check. it has to do with this sign, this sign that tells people guns are banned, and why some school officials don't want to post it as required by illinois law. >>> plus -- >> probably when the sitting president came on, when barack obama came on. i mean, the actual president of the united states. i'm sure that was pretty amazing. >> one last might. we'll take a look back at jay leno's time on "the tonight show" as he prepa

, of course, bernice king. >> isabel wilkerson, your feelings about it. >> i am surprised about the people who showed up and his reference to all the individual things people can do. i think it is almost impossible if you think about it, to in any way compete with the greatest speech ever given in the 20th century. and so i'm struck by not only the president's words, but also the reiteration of the entire speech that martin luther king jr. gave originally that aired on msnbc multiple times today. i had never seen it before. and i was almost brought to tears by the magnitude of what martin luther king jr. said 50 years ago on this day. and by what that meant. and by all the pressures on him and on everyone else there. the fact that he had earlier in the year, 1963, been in jail in the birmingham jail. that he had written his magnificent letter from the birmingham jail in the newspaper. and that just a month or so before, medgar evers had been assassinated. and there was the bombing at the church where four little girls were killed. so i'm struck by the magnitude of the moment. the fact that

we just heard from bernice king, the daughter of martin luther king jr. he was only five years old when her father was assassinated. she just finished the days speeches doing so with prayer. asking that the people who are here today and all who are watching would be bound together, working together, movi moving towards the sorts of things we heard. attorney general eric holder, congressman john lewis and other leaders spoke today from the steps of the lincoln memorial standing in the same place where martin luther king jr. articulated a dream for the american democratic project 450 years ago. joining me now for ongoing coverage of today's event is ed schultz, schultz. so nice to have you. >> a fabulous last hour. a number of different speeches. there's no doubt that reverend sharpton is the contemporary civil rights leader of our time. >> he's fearless. >> i thought his recognition of jesse was so profound and important for the generational uniting moving forward. it was a theme reverend sharpton stepped forward with. he lived the fight. he's a man of ver

to that end we heard fiery rhetoric from bernice king, the daughter of dr. king. reverend bernice king bringing it all back to today. talking about the social injustice that she and many of the other speakers and many in this vast audience on a beautiful day think exists in america today. talking about how the dream, my father talked about the dream and we are still working to accomplish that dream. even though this memorial here is being opened today, there is plenty of work to be done and a lot of speakers picking up on the theme beyond just martin luther king, iii and his sister. we're steps away from the lincoln memorial, alec. let's talk about the symbolism surrounding this memorial. it was in 1963 that dr. king gave his iconic i have a dream speech. it was august 28th. on the 48th anniversary of the speech, that was the original date, as you know to dedicate, to have this ceremony. it was washed out by hurricane irene. today, seven weeks later, a sublime day. what i want to mention, as part of that speech and the theme of the monument and its design and cons

you see bernice king. you see other influential people who are not only civil rights leaders and icons but again many of the foot soldiers and all of their allies. looks like the heart of -- msnbc. as you see, pushing through the crowd back to you betty. >> we're a watching many of the dignitaries make their way there. you saw bernice king. many others are making this historic walk. yes it's been 50 years since that original march. but this is yet a bit of history today as you're seeing thousands march across that brinldge one more time to company rate bloody sunday. >>> u.s. attorney eric holder reflects on the progress that's been made since that day 50 years ago. >> with the relentless drum beat of their footsteps, they walked the conscience of this nation. and they belt the arc a little closer to justice. their courage and sacrifice led a dubious congress and a great president to work with the attorney general to enact into law the voting rights act of 1965. just show them this - the american express c
