Oh hi there
I was just reading a little book about
fridays turns out they're
awesome welcome to cnn 10 my name is
Carl Azuz. It's great to have you
watching
we start today with some not so good
news about the u.s economy
initial jobless claims are up what does
that mean why does it matter
also known as first-time unemployment
claims this is a number of americans who
are asking for government assistance
because they just lost their jobs
in layoffs or business cutbacks the
number is recorded weekly
and the u.s government says last week
965
000 people filed for first-time
unemployment benefits
the week before that had been done by
784
000 americans it's not the highest level
it's ever seen
when the shutdowns peaked last march in
april the government says more than 6
million people
filed initial jobless claims during two
back-to-back weeks
but when you consider that the number
averaged around 200
000 weekly in 2019 you can see how last
week's measurement that approached a
million
is considerably higher one prominent
economist says part of the reason for
the increase was the fact that a second
stimulus package was passed in late
december
that probably caused more people to
apply for government benefits
raising the jobless claims number
another economic indicator the u.s stock
market has seen
pretty steady growth since november so
that's a good sign
ten-second trivia which of these
historic figures was given the name
michael when he was born in 1929 martin
luther king jr michael jordan mark twain
or thurgood marshall
michael king jr was the birth name of
the civil rights leader born in atlanta
georgia
the birth date of dr martin luther king
jr was january 15
1929 and that date became a holiday in
some american cities and states in the
years after he was assassinated but when
legislation was signed in 1983
making martin luther king jr day a
federal holiday
it was scheduled to be observed on the
third monday in january
and it's been that way since the first
national observance in 1986
though federal employees and many other
americans don't have to work on martin
luther king day
the u.s government recognizes this as a
day of service
a day on not a day off with the goal of
encouraging americans to volunteer to
improve their communities it's usually
marked by speeches
marches and other events attended by
civil rights leaders and u.s political
figures
dr king an american baptist minister
felt that peaceful events like marches
were the best way to achieve civil
rights for african americans
he founded the southern christian
leadership conference in 1957
he led the march on washington in 1963
where he delivered his famous
i have a dream speech and he was awarded
the nobel peace prize the next year
historians have recorded a number of
controversies associated with the civil
rights leader
but the man who in 1963 famously said
thatsegregation and discrimination had kept
black americans from being free
was himself awarded the presidential
medal of freedom
nine years after his assassination in
1968.
in honor of his civil rights
accomplishments we have a special
feature on martin luther king
starting right now cnn 10 is
collaborating with the att youth voices
collective to help amplify youth voices
so today in commemoration of dr martin
luther king jr
we'd like to welcome the students of the
harvard diversity project to share
portions of some of dr king's most
famous and influential speeches
the harvard diversity project based in
dr king's own hometown of atlanta
is a pipeline program that recruits
trains and matriculates highly motivated
black youth
into a summer debate residency at
harvard let's hear from the students
even though we face the difficulties of
today and tomorrow
i still have a dream it is a dream
deeply rooted in the american dream
we cannot walk alone and as we walk we
must make the pledge that we shall
always march your head
we cannot look back there are those who
are asking the devil cheese of civil
rightswhen will we satisfy no no no we are not
satisfied and we will not be satisfied
until justice rolls down like water
and righteousness like a mighty street
how long will it take somebody's
asking how long will prejudice blind a
vision of men
however difficult the moment however
frustrating the hour
it will not be long because truth
crushed to earth
will rise again how long
not long because mine eyes have seen the
glory of the coming of the lord
he has trimmed without the ventures
where the grapes were at the store
he is losing the faithful lightning of
his terrible swiss sword
his truth is marching going he has sound
and forth the trumpet that shall never
call retreat
he is sifting out the hearts of men
before his judgment seat
oh be swift my soul to answer him
be jubilant my feet our god is marching
on
somewhere we must come to realize that
human progress
never rolls in on the wheel of
inevitability it comes through the
tireless efforts
and the persistent work of dedicated
individuals
who are willing to be co-workers with
god
and without this hard work time itself
becomes anally of the primitive forces of social
stagnation
and so we must always help time and
realize that the time
is always right to do right
we mean business now and we're
determined to gain our rightful place
in god's world and that's all this whole
thing is about
we aren't engaged in any negative
protests or any negative arguments with
anybody we are saying we're determined
to be
men we're determined to be people we are
saying we are
saying we are god's children and that we
are god's children we don't have to live
like we are forced to live
let us rise up tonight with the greater
readiness let us stand
with a greater determination let us move
on in these powerful days these
days of challenge to make america what
it ought to be
we have an opportunity to make america a
better nation
i have a dream that one day this nation
will rise up and live out the true
meaning of its creed
we hold these truths to be self-evident
that all men are created equal
i have a dream that one day on the red
hills of georgia the sons of former
slaves and the sons of former slave
owners will be able to sit down
together at the table of brotherhood i
have a dream that one day mississippi
a state sweltering with the heat of
injustice sweltering with the heat of
oppressedwill be transformed into an oasis of
freedom
and justice i have a dream that my four
little children will one day live in a
nation where they are not judged by the
color of their skin
but by the content of their character i
have a dream today and when we allow
freedom to ring
we let it ring from every village and
every hamlet from every state and every
city
we will be able to speed up the day when
all of god's children black men
and white men jews and gentiles
protestants and catholics
will be able to join hands and sing in
the words of the old negro spiritual
free at last free at last thank god
almighty we are free at last
well if you've ever thought man i know
we have a machine to wash dishes but i
really wish they were a robot that could
load them
the electronics company samsung may have
your solution
it was unveiled at this year's consumer
electronics show it's called the bot
handy and not only can it load the
dishwasher it can load your laundry too
this robot arm is still being developed
and we don't know how much it'll cost
but if you've always thought it was a
chore to lift clothes and dishes
we'll think of the freedom if getting
dishes to their swishes is a tour that
you find vicious after a meal that's
delicious and your one and only wishes
to
have a hand to lend a hand like a
handyman to clean the pan just raise
your hand
and the money to hire a brand new butler
