martin luther king was slain in 1968, in april, and carson the next night canceled the monologue and replaced it with a tribute to the slain civil rights leader. two months later, bobby kennedy was killed. and carson again offered another tribute to a slain activist. he brought in journalists, artists and friends of bobby kennedy to reminisce and to mourn the death of robert kennedy, who might very well have been elected president in 1968, if he had not been murdered. now, the sixties for carson wasn't all a matter of serious consciousness, raising far from it. one of his highest rated shows, in fact the highest rated show of the sixties for carson was actually in the wedding of an iconic figure of the 1960s, known as tiny tim. tiny tim was famous for his falsetto rendition of tiptoe through the tulips, and his unusual clothing style, unusual even by the standards of the 1960s. when he tied the knot, 58 million people tuned in to have the special wedding show of the tonight show. now, johnny carson loved his work, he was really not hole that happy when he wasn't working. roads were p

but martin luther king said don't hate them because as soon as you do he lost serenity he washed her innocence so then you do one quarter inch at a time and people say very nice christian bumper stickers and then you make it a point never to be with him again. and anyone to poke them in the head with a fork like a baked potato. >> and other thing is you get a little bit older that you are flying so low that then you start to realize if you spot it, you got it. and then i realized i became very aware of my inner donald trump and to be self-centered and that usually people aren't listening but they are waiting to talk again so hypothetically to say it is a destroyed human being. that nobody loved him. no one loves him. he didn't even know about dogs. he doesn't even have a dog. said don't you feel a little bit sorry for him now? he says no. but also with the word karma. but there was just this little ways. at five years old many had sick parents and then one by suicide and alcohol. little by little i do think it is knocked down. and so healing from that so it didn't make it all go away

>> today is the 58th anniversary of martin luther king's letter from birmingham jail. that's the anniversary of the letter he penned and one of the things he said injustice anywhere, injustice every place. one of the other things that's is not quoted which goes to the point of why we are not getting anything done. using immoral means to obtain moral ends is wrong. using moral means to preserve immoral, what's happening today, the use of and i have to say again, the gop i am not going to cast on any blame on all. it is the gop who continues to use a tradition of the filibuster or the tradition of the way things enacted in order to preserve. it is the allowance to continue gun violence of the country. the vast majority of democrats and the majority of gun owner, i have five rifles. the majority of gun owners support common sense gun reform, why is it not happening? the republican party, a small minority party dominates them continue to press forward on this fiction that the second amendment that all rights to own all weapons and any manner that you want. it is frustratin

the martin luther king junior memorial, dedicated in 2011 sits on the northwest corner. its location was specifically designed among the cherry trees, which are generally in bloom, each year on the anniversary of his death. the design is drawn from a passage in his i have a dream speech, in which he says out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope. dr. king himself is depicted as that stone of hope emerging from a mountain of despair, and at the base of that are a number of quotations from his famous speeches, sermons and writings. one of the most famous or infamous incidents in the history of the title basin involved wilbur mills, chairman of the house ways and means committee. in october 1974, a car being driven erratically was pulled over and everyone was surprised to find in the back, not only mills but a exotic dancer known as the argentine firecracker. fox jumped out of the limousine and into the nearby title basin, where she was ultimately rescued. the scandal cost him his chairmanship of the powerful ways and means committee. the gift of the cherry trees has
