Waching daily Apr 4 2018

News reporter: Why did you take part in this demonstration today?

Young marcher: Well, I took part in this march today because of Martin Luther King

and for what he stood for...

Lauren: When we look at archival footage, we often don't know the whole story.

At American Experience, we see a lot of archival footage.

When we saw this footage of a young man taking part in the march after the assassination

of Dr. King, we really wanted to know who this young man was.

And in the age of social media, it seemed like we could probably figure it out.

I had a bet with my team that we would find him within a day.

What amazed us was just how quickly we had an answer.

Within an hour, we had both comments on Facebook and emails that came in with the name of this person.

What we learned, is that as is so often the case, there was much more to this story.

So our team headed to Memphis to meet the family.

Keith: I just happened to just reach down and just open up my phone and I went to my Facebook

page and the first thing I saw was Phil.

And I just sat there.

Then I looked to the guy behind them to the right.

That's Cranston, with the horn-rimmed glasses.

And I looked over to the other side and said, "That's Monte Lalang in the back."

And I said, "That's my sister back there with the sign as well." And I'm going like, "Wow."

We've been looking for this over 40 years.

Mattie: We were on our way back to the car.

When the reporter asked —

He didn't ask us, he just put the mic to Phil's mouth and he answered the questions.

Phil: This march is what he died for.

And I think if he died for it, I could carry out what he started.

Mattie: I wasn't worried because I know he knew how to express himself very well.

Oh, I was so proud of him.

Keith: I don't know how I got it.

I don't know how it got on my page.

I just saw it.

And when I saw it, the first thing I did — I saved it. And I kicked it out to everybody I could send it out to.

Regina: When I first saw it, I cried.

It just brought back a lot of emotions.

First of all, my brother, I missed him.

And I kept looking at it, too.

Kept replaying it, and replaying it.

Willa Faye: I said, this is my brother.

This is my brother, you know.

This is my brother!

And that's just how I felt.

Mattie: When Keith brought the tape, I just cried.

I couldn't believe it.

And I'm getting ready to cry now, but I'm not going to cry.

Regina: My cousin Marlin, he called me one night, like at ten o'clock at night.

He said, "I'm sitting here looking at the video." He said, "I keep looking at it, I can't put it

down." And he said, "I was crying when I saw it too."

Lauren: As it turns out, there was a family out there that was looking for this footage

of someone that they had lost 50 years ago.

Keith: Everybody loved the kid.

Willa Faye: He was a very caring person.

He was a very loving person. He felt, you know, like Dr. Martin Luther King.

He felt for people.

And you don't find these people every day.

Keith: When Phil attended that march, he was thirteen-ish.

One day he's healthy.

Friends, family, doing things. And the next day he's diagnosed.

Regina: Later on that year, 1968, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

He died the following year.

Lauren: We didn't realize the profound effect that it would have on the family to be reunited

with this footage.

Mattie: Just to hear that tape again, it just, like they were alive again.

They feel like they're alive now.

Keith: It was as if you had brought him home.

And you hear his voice, you see his eyes, you see his face, you see his physical presence.

Mattie: I feel like Phil is in this house right now. And I look at that tape in the morning

and at night before I go to bed.

It brought our family back together, with a closeness that we hadn't seen in a while.

So if nothing else, that served its purpose.

This Underwater WWII 'Cemetery' Is Haunting and Amazing

An eerie image of an underwater graveyard for British World War II military motorcycles has earned the top prize in the Underwater Photographer of the Year (UPY) contest for 2018.

Titled Cycle War, the image was captured by German photographer Tobias Friedrich and shows a cargo deck in the SS Thistlegorm, a British munitions ship that German bombers sank in the Red Sea on October 6, 1941.

The ship was torn apart by an explosion after flames from the bombs reached its ammunitions stores, and it sank in under a minute along with all the cargo it was carrying, according to the Thistlegorm Project, an ongoing archaeological survey of the wreck.

In the photo, derelict Norton 16H motorbikes recline in the foreground, while schools of colorful fish hover above them.

Cycle War was selected by UPY as the winner from more than 5,000 photo submissions in 11 categories representing underwater scenes captured by photographers from around the world. .

The explosion that sank the Thistlegorm destroyed much of the structure in the middle of the ship, making it highly accessible to divers, according to the Thistlegorm Project website.

For years, Friedrich had wanted to photograph the sunken cycles that were part of the lost cargo; he was captivated by the way the motorbikes in the wreck aligned so perfectly with one another, he said in a statement issued by UPY.

But he found it impossible to snap the photo that he saw in his mind because the space in the cargo hold was too small — he simply couldnt position his camera far enough from the motorbikes to fit all of them in the frame at once, Friedrich explained.

As a result, I had to create a panoramic imageof the same scene to capture the whole cargo deck, including some lights that give the image more depth, he said.

In the statement, judge Peter Rowlands, publisher of the online magazine Underwater Photography, described the arresting image as quite extraordinary.

He added that the photo should be viewed as large as possible.

The annual underwater-photography contest, which named its first Photographer of the Year in 1965, showcases images that explore the watery depths, from the natural habitats of oceans and lakes to the artificial environments of swimming pools.

Whether they feature brilliantly colored marine life or darker, more somber tones of battered, encrusted shipwrecks, the images offer remarkable views of life under the waters surface.

Another prize, British Underwater Photographer of the Year, went to Grant Thomas for Love Birds.

Also the winner in the Wide Angle category, this perfectly timed snap shows a pair of feeding swans in Scotlands Loch Lomond, revealing the birds bodies above the water line as their heads and necks plunge simultaneously below the surface to forage for food.

My initial idea was to frame a split shot of one swan feeding below the surface of the water, Thomas said in a statement.

But when I noticed how comfortable they were around me, I was confident, with some patience, I could get that magical shot of the two..

The contest also recognized an Up & Coming Underwater Photographer of the Year and a Most Promising British Underwater Photographer, as well as standout entries in each of the 11 categories, which included Behavior, Black and White, Macro, and Wrecks — scenes of submerged human-made machines, vehicles and other structures now designated as artificial reefs and dive sites.

You can see all of the winning photographs on the UPY website.

If Jason Chaffetz is Right, Jeff Sessions Will be Terminated ASAP - Duration: 12:47.

If Jason Chaffetz is Right, Jeff Sessions Will be Terminated ASAP

This past Saturday night brought a hurricane of new data about Attorney General Jeff Sessions,

and if this data stands to be valid, he ought to be booted from his position instantly.

Jason Chaffetz showed up on Judge Jeanine Pirro's show, and he had a considerable

measure to say in regards to the lawyer general.

Their discussion went as takes after:

Judge Janine:"I need to know a certain something and I need to know this for my group of onlookers

– for the Jeanine gathering of people – I'll call them the Jeanine crowd, alright?

I'm a prosecutor.

I was a judge.

I did this for a long time.

I know how to assemble a case and all that stuff.

Barack Obama and his organization did things that on the off chance that we did we'd

all be in prison at this moment.

Presently the Republicans are in power and I am not recommending that the Party has anything

to do with it, yet when we see glaring check of equity like we have found in the Obama

Administration – illustration, when you have Eric Holder submitting prevarication

and being held in disdain.

You were Head of Government Oversight and Reform, adjust?

You all held him in disdain, yes or no?"

Chaffetz:

"Truly, Yes."

Judge Janine:

"Alright, why is he not being accused of a wrongdoing?"

Chaffetz:

"I can reveal to you that while I was in Congress and the Chairman of the Oversight

Committee, I went over and visit with Attorney General Sessions and it was a standout amongst

the most disappointing dialogs I had in light of the fact that whether it was the IRS, Fast

and Furious, the email outrage that we experienced, I didn't see the Attorney General willing

to simply give Lady Justice a chance to oversee equity and afterward complete.

I saw possibly the most recent a half year of the Obama Administration…

"

Judge Janine:"Hold up a moment I don't have that much time.

You talked with Sessions on IRS, Fast and Furious.

Did he give you a reason?

Did he say he was introducing anything to a great jury?

Indeed or no?"

Chaffetz:"No, he essentially let me know he wouldn't seek after anything on the significant

cases."

Judge Janine:"So IRS, on the significant cases?

Are we discussing Hillary Clinton, since I haven't gotten to her yet."

Chaffetz:"Truly, the email embarrassment of Hillary Clinton.

We had Bryan Pagliano.

I issued a subpoena for him to show up before the Committee and he said "No".

He didn't appear.

We issued another subpoena.

The US Marshals served it.

Also, you know in my reality, in case you're in court, I promise you that a subpoena isn't

a discretionary action.

We needed the Attorney General to indict him and he said 'No.'"

On the off chance that what Chaffetz says stands to be valid, Jeff Sessions ought to

be expelled from his position IMMEDIATELY.

This would imply that he is endeavoring to square President Trump from expelling the

filth out

of Washington.
