he called alabama a dynasty, a word banned in the alabama locker room. listen. >> i don't think words like dynasty are words that i'm really much interested in. we're interested in accomplishment and consistency and performance and want to continue to try to do that in the future. those are for other people to talk about. >> i don't know. ask can we call it a dynasty now? >> oh, yeah. you win three championships in four years, and it's definitely a dynasty. i understand why you don't want to embrace that word, you are not leaving anything out there to gain. but i don't think there is any slight in calling this alabama team a dynasty, and what nick saban has done to cause that. zoraida the scarier thing, there are even better players coming in for next year and this team that won last night, they are young guys on that team like t.j. yelton, scored two touchdowns, just a freshman. stacked from top to bottom. no reason to think that alabama's dominance will end any time soon. >> you can call it tonight. you have probably been up all night long. >> haven't

she was born in marion alabama? >> i ron ackley if you study history, three of the leading movement, ralph abernathy and my father all have lives in alabama. how ironic is that. my mother didn't know one leader after that. she no one was much younger but they didn't know, you know, that kind of stuff and it just brought it all together. and so, growing up there in rural alabama with a father who was an entrepreneur early on and he called lumber and he did open an assault mel by a white gentleman. the father's determination to stand up to justice and continue to move to really influenced her and that produced a lot of the leaders in the nation. missionaries came and educated the reactive and why am i here driven by the fact they got to college in a yellow springs ohio she was involved in the naacp progressive political party and the peace movement and was involved in the peace movement well in advance of that. estimate the public image of your mother is behind the scenes , quite yet -- what was she like as a person?

alabama is much better team. notre dame give up 10.3 points per game and alabama 10.7 but alabama hass competition has been so much better. has been the luck of the irish when you you look at how they got in here. the field goal kicker messed up in triple overtime and they beat pittsburgh and got lucky in a game beating stanford. purdue took them to the limit but alabama had a lucky route as well. oregon and kansas state both lost so here we are. >> john: football from teak a&m is the only one that seemed to get anything done.

what was johnson going to do if the official the of alabama -- officials of alabama refused to uphold the law when this march was authorized by judge frank johnson, a very brave tennessean , a republican, were they going to allow these people to be picked off by snipers, to be attacked? wallace was not going to lift a finger to do a thing. then came a remarkable meeting. johnson sort of mouse trapped wallace into coming to the white house on saturday, march 13, and for 2:45 the 6'4" president from texas he had placed wallace, who was about 5'6", in a deep, cushioned couch and johnson sat in his chair doing to wallace what senator humphrey once called the nostril examination. this was the johnson treatment at its most sophisticated and the johnson treatment i don't think is totally understood. it wasn't just threatening, browbeating, trading political favors, although that is part of politics, and there was some of that. johnson was, like king, always trying to appeal to the better natures of our souls. that's a line from abraham lincoln in the second inaugural address. and so he start

mccarron for alabama. this guy actually was one of those that was towards that area, talking about the heisman trophy until they lost to texas a&m. so, he's an outstanding quarterback. extremely accurate. he does not throw interceptions. only three the entire year. you have to give the tip there to alabama. and because of that, i think alabama runs away with it in 2 fourth quarter. >> alabama, brian. >> listen. i would take notre dame because the points -- i drool over points. so, i would take notre dame because the points look good. but what i would say is, if -- i take a little different approach than pete. i would say if notre dame could keep it close early, i think they actually have a fighting chance in the second half and manti te'o, he's going to have to do something special. a pickoff, a fumble return, something special to turn the tide. flt you will. >> oh! all right, guys. we're going to leave it at that. pete, always good to speak with you. >> great to be with you. >> our thanks to brian, as wel

>> alabama is a very conservative state, and it's also not diverse. we still have the set up for many decades back when the rest of the country or i should say the east coast, west coast, other parts of the country were receiving a lot of immigrants, alabama did not have the influx of immigration that other places did. so we are still basically a black and white society would just a few hispanics sprinkled and. >> you mentioned that you were not necessarily discriminated against as a child or your family was and because they didn't have any terms for latinos. >> we were more or less objects of curiosity. now there are more hispanics in the region and unfortunately there is also more. alabama has instituted one of the harshest immigration laws in the united states very similar to arizona. >> you have a chapter near a bus of young girls when schools were first integrated. who were those trust? >> i you speaking of the young african-american girls? up, the public schools in my area were integrated into steps, the first step was the freedom of choice era,

the first crisis came at the edmonton's bridge in selma, alabama. king's lieutenant started off on a march from the town of selma, across the bridge, with the stated intent of marching to montgomery. none of them had toothpaste or backpacks -- a few of them had backpacks. it was a challenge. the idea was to produce a confrontation. excuse me. and it did. i'm sure all of us have seen the pictures of the sheriff's deputies, the straight troopers, trampling the demonstrators. the crisis became what to do next. and the way johnson and king handled that was really awesome. king was under intense pressure to march again two days later. thousands of supporters, ministers from all over the united states, had come to march with him. the leaders of snic were pushing him to march and accusing him -- some of them -- of being a coward if he didn't march. johnson was under enormous pressure to send federal troops en masse to alabama. both of them had a dilemma. king's dilemma, he never violated a federal court order, though he violated hundreds of ordinances and
