and one of the speakers was a student you know well, your daughter, yolanda king. and let's play a little bit of what she said. >> my grandfather had a dream that his four little children will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the concept of their character. >> obviously pulling there dr. ki king. how did you feel seeing your little girl up on stage? >> that is the most incredible feeling in my life other than her being born. it was phenomenal. we did not prompt her. and actually how it happened, we reached out to the students several weeks ago and said look, we'd like to be there, we'll be there, we'd like to assist in any way that you feel possible. and we then talked about this chant that she does about the future of this generation. and then we sent that to them. and we didn't know whether or not it was going to happen or not. in fact we learned at 8:30 saturday morning that she wanted her to come out and she was going to be a surprise guest. and she had come to her own conclusion as to what she was going to say. i must say this is not a new issue

king and emma gonzalez, you know, they were so inspiring this weekend. there's nothing more confident than a little girl. you saw you honda, she was fearless. emma was fearless. emma was crying up there. she doesn't care. she's going to show her tears. they have so much confidence and joy and belief in themselves. and somewhere along the way girls lose that. we become inhibited. and that's what the book is about. don't learn that. don't learn those inhibitions. and, you know, that's where i can see an exciting time for women. we can lead in a way true to ourselves. you don't have to model yourself after a man. >> we always felt we had to overcompensate. >> yes, yes. >> and i never thought of it in politics. i know about it in my own life, in my own -- with my own colleagues. but overcompensating is not what we really ought to be doing. >> yes. >> this is a new paradigm you're describing. >> and i think, you know, you did -- women did have to do that at first. you had to prove that that was the only path. the only path was to prove you could do it just as

at the march this weekend, we had yolanda king, mlk's granddaughter. she was fearless and joyful and like all little girls, she had so much confidence and then you think i watched her and thought at some point girls learn to be inhibited. that's a learned behavior. that is not natural. what is natural is how confident she was and how confident emma gonzalez and how proud emma gonzalez was to stand at the podium and cry. i don't want those girls to lose those qualities and that is -- that is women -- that is what women leadership looks like and that's women leading in a new way and that's the lessons i conveyed from my experiences for them, for young women, for girls then i hope for boys too. they need to understand what those obstacles are that women face. >> "dear madam president: an open letter to the women who will run the world." this is not a typical memoir but a dart. congratulations on doing this. i sat down and read it in one sitting and could not get up until i was done. >> thank you. >>> much more to get to tonight. stay with us. your letting

. >> i am yolanda renee king. i am granddaughter of martin luther king. i have a dream that enough is enough. >> erin, what a moment there for organizers to pull off that kind of appearance. the granddaughter of dr. king, where does it go from here? >> dara, i spoke with the organizers of the movement, both the students who came together to unite the groups across the united states and the adult allies teaching them how to organize and giving them the institutional support they need to turn this moment into a movement. and they told me that they were intent on making sure that this movement was intersectional. and they want to make sure that it touches not just students affected by gun violence in their schools, also students affected by gun violence in their communities, in their places of worship. the movement by the women's march group says it is nothing more than an assault weapons ban. that is very hard to achieve in this political climate, but if students turn out in force in november and again in 2020, they can make that affect for change. >> we kn

this is what's amazen about yolanda king this is so much confident and joy, and there's nothing with more confidence that this a little girl, right? they think they can do anything and they have so much power, but at some point they lose that and they become inhibited. you know, that's learned behavior, to start to doubt yourself, it's learned behavior in society for us to -- to be perplexed by well seeking power. i wrote the book hoping for young girls like yolanda, young women like emma gonzalez, who stood up there and cried for about 6 1/2 minutes, the length of the time, and was proud there having tears run down her face, when we're told not to show emotion. that's leading in a new way. i wrote the book so that generation of women can learn lessons that i did and i think you probably relate to it as a woman working in politics. there's obstacles, but i think that i have learned ways to understand that my voice mattered. men helped me a lot along the way, women helped me a lot. that's what the lessons are about. we talked think outsome of the crieses of the clinton campaign, when
