speeches on the minus italy the first amendment is made of molasses. if you were not a black man and black lives matter activist do you think you would have a resolution in this case sooner? >> if i don't think i was going up against the police the court have might intervene. the decision, which is what they reference is good. it will make it hard for things like this to come forward again . in the classic case, the naacp , that case is the case that makes it clear that you cannot sue any protest leader for protesting if someone else does damage or break something or violence is used. the claiborne decision are important decisions. my decision, the fifth circuit is an operation but we hope it is never used again and hopes he gets overturned i have been to the spring court twice and louisiana state supreme court once. i have been to the fifth

that. they maintain that i organize the entire thing. i did not. i did not. they said that i did. we've been locked in this conversation since 2016. and all five officers were dismissed. including this one. but this one got appealed. this started this entire saga. >> you been battling this lawsuit for nearly a decade. and i wanted to share another quote. on this ordeal. he wrote that when the free speech of black people is on the line. suddenly the first amendment is made of molasses. if you are not a black man or a black lives matter activist. do you think you and i made a resolution in this case sooner? >> if i was not somebody going up against the police. the court could have intervened. but the counter decision is what they referenced. ended in my opinion it is good. will make it hard for things like this to come forward again. but in a classic case. the naacp that case. it is what makes it clearer. you cannot sue any protest leader for protesting. if somebody else does it damage or breaks something.

Morning Joe

ella baker in the book. even watching her there is moving. tell us about her. >> i'm thankful for my residency on "morning joe" with regards to this book. i mean, you guys are family, and i just am full with blessings of being with you. but ms. baker, you know, i reach for mer. we talked about dr. king and malcolm x and, you know, my own sense of manhood. here i am embracing malcolm. i end the book with ella baker because she embraces a notion of democracy that affirms the possibility, the standing of ordinary, everyday people. without her, the modern civil rights movement wouldn't be possible. she was an organizer in the 1940s, a field secretary for the naacp, organizing chapters in the south. she was the first executive director of the sclc, southern christian leadership conference. there's a reason that students who engaged in sit-ins in 1960 had the non-violent organization
