that's the context. >> yolanda, how was the movement trying to change the system that was just described and what was the fight against racial discrimination about in that moment? >> it was about a number of things. i think we often look back in the '60s and think it begin there is. but we can go back 150 years prior to that and african-americans have consistently been trying to basically shake loose their chains. so at the moment that we're seeing whether it's selma or ferguson, folks are trying to get free. e folks are trying to fundamentally be considered equal citizens of this country. i essentially see this as people trying to change not only legislation, voting rights but people are also working about a heart condition. you have to change how people are perceiveing other people. how they are looking at them, whether or not they can feel that they are, in fact, equal to them. so there's a heart condition that's a part of this change as well as the legislative and political piece. those all go hand in hand.
