president is that things aren't always what they seem. the thing that's been very troubling to me and i was thrilled that you invited us here for this program today, especially on such an important day, martin luther king's birthday and our recognition of that is that there's still a gap. there's a huge gap in race relations, in how we view this president's administration, in how the congress and the classes of people in the congress will advance -- >> how do you put it together? 16% unemployment. among african-americans. overall the unemployment rate compared to african-americans and latinos the rate is 9%. latinos 13, african-americans 16. most people know this. americans know. african-americans get hurt more than others. >> aknow it intuitively, but the data matters because that validates it. i did a piece a coup of months ago in the grio on this issue.

leaders. what did you find most interesting as this survey was being done? >> so i absolutely loved the opportunity to work with the grio on this survey, in part because of the question you just asked. what really is the legacy of king? i think part of what we do is, we freeze king as that starry-eyed dreamer in 1963 and we forget the much broader and far more complicated legacy around economic justice issues, union organizing, issues of immigration and war, and so i think, you know what i like about this list is that we see so much of that influence reflected in the people that our experts chose. so, for example, we see ella baker on this list, and ella baker is not a name that many americans know, and yet she was deeply involved with the civil rights movement at every step, and often challenging dr. king in terms ever his own perspectives. it really is terrific list that
