of 1963, john lewis was the recently did chairman of the student nonviolent coordinating committee and found himself writing the most important speech of his life. he would be speaking with civil rights leaders from the steps of the lincoln memorial is part of the march on washington for jobs and freedom. waswhat john lewis wanted for this speech to show the students' frustration at the slow pace of change, to show anger, to show militancy, so he when "the time will come we will not confine our marching to washington. we will march through the south, through the heart of dixie the way sherman did. we shall pursue our own scorched earth policy and burn jim crow to the ground nonviolently." william99 years after tecumseh sherman led his 62,000 men out of atlanta towards the sea, through the carolinas, leaving devastation in their wake. the power of that event still resonated. theears later, images of march still angers because at the last minute john lewis was asked to remove that sentence and others which were deemed too and phlegm at torry. he -- and phlegm at torry. lamatory. he actua

so, i started meeting with people in the smithsonian and meeting with congressman john lewis, who was the primary advocate at that time for this museum in congress. and a group of friends and i formed a nonprofit organization to do what we could to support the effort. i became obsessed. i will confess, with this effort. so much so that i went to three days a week on my job and was spending the other four days working on this. and then, in august of 2000, i had the revelation that maybe if i could work on this full-time, you know, it could help move this project towards the finish line. and so i shared with my wife that i need to quit my job to work on this full-time. she was seven months pregnant with our second child. but being the determined lawyer that i am, i was a public defender, i gave the best closing argument of my life, and i got her to say yes. and we agreed that we would go from two incomes to one and change our day care arrangements and eat a lot of beans and cornbread and do what we had to do to try to push for this. but it was also, i guess, a need in me to work on this

not john lewis. it's for me pretty astounding. >> first thing that strikes you is his humility. he didn't come off as this sort of grandiose figure. he comes off as a humble, decent, kind soul. >> part of what makes john humble is that he knows who he is, and he knows that he has sacrificed for greater good, so what else does he have to prove? >> reporter: although he still carries his scars of the days in the movement, lewis is willing to engage with those who hurt him. >> one of the klans member who beat us in south carolina came to this office many years later and said, mr. lewis, i've been a member of the klan. i'm one of the people that beat you. but i want to apologize. will you forgive me? his son started crying. he started crying. and i cried with them. it is the power the way of peace, the way of love, the power of the philosophy of nonviolence.

john lewis say let's fight the good fight and you know, when dr. davis is bringing up some of the trouble she was getting into, you know, john lewis talk about good trouble and that's what it is is good trouble. and i remember when they wouldn't let me go to the white house or didn't want me to go to the white house to see president obama and the first lady because i did a song about shakur and people was calling me, are you okay? yes, sir, i'm okay, this is what i'm supposed to be doing. i feel good about this. and when you really take on whatever you're taking on, you've got to know it's going to be a lot of challenges and they ain't always accepted by society and look at we talked about the team who attacked dr. davis. and they was like, i was right there with you. you've got to be a leader in this. that means lead with your thoughts and your heart and your passion and what you know your purpose is and i think, you know, i think i just want to say, i believe we are going in a great space right now. we're going in a great direction and people are

so i congratulated congressman john lewis at the end of that press conference and i thought this was a wrap. it was going to sail right through. we got the support of all of the leadership, both sides of the aisle. the president will have this museum in a few months. silly me. and then september 11th happens. so i guess just like that 1929 commission that was hit with the great depression, we were hit with the tragedy of the 911 attacks and congress and the president were then of course occupied with issues of war, national security, intelligence, creating a new department of homeland security, a u.s. patriot act, all of those things. and it was very little oxygen in the room or appetite for creating a new museum, especially one that was going to cost hundreds of millions of dollars. and so we had to go with a plan b. and the plan b was an agreement by that bipartisan coalition to create a presidential commission to plan this museum. and here is a headline about when that legislation was passed. and we essentially had a handshake agreement that this commission was going to be unlike

john lewis said, may we have a word with a major? the major responded there is nowhere to be had. about 30 seconds later, he gave the order for the troopers to advance and they did. elei that ensued is now what we know as bloody sunday. they rushed the marchers on the with billy clubs and furniture wrapped in barbed wire. they beat the marchers not just at the bridge but throughout the city and into the george washington carver homes area. there were even accounts of law enforcement officials throwing a women into baptismal pools at first baptist church. that was the first attempt. what made this significant is the fact there were so many media cameras capturing this moment. not only were there still cameras but there also were posts filming the action. that night in the middle of the trials of nuremberg, the footage of bloody sunday appeared so the entire country got to see what was happening on that day in selma, alabama. after dr. king found out about the march and the things that happened to the protesters here, he put out a call for clergy members across the country to come d

john lewis also enjoyed some growth. it's already said profits would substantially lower this year but today it warned it might have to suspend its cherished staff bonus for the first time in more than 60 years. what we said very clearly is, because of the steps we've taken, we've got a strong financial position. we can afford to pay a bonus. the question is, is it prudent to do so? and of course that's a judgment about what is coming and the uncertainty in the market, and this year of course there's quite a lot of that. there are always winners and losers when it comes to the battle for our christmas cash, but this year it feels like there are fewer winners than normal, and the industry trade body reckons this has been the worst christmas since 2008. we are in the midst of a perfect storm. technology fundamentally changing the way that people shop, rising costs for retail businesses, and sluggish demand, which took a downturn at the end of last year, so the last few months in december, that critical trading period for m
