Very impressive when Bernice King lets you know she is impressed with your questions. As always, great interview Trevor.

[tangerines]

Great interview. Thank you for highlighting Coretta's work and modern American hypocrisy on Dr. King's legacy!

[MusicfromMarrs]

Dr. Bernice King gave the best description of love - it’s not all soft and sweet; it takes immense strength! Beautiful interview!

[MirorRflction]

Trevor is such a great interviewer. He does his homework and actually asks insightful questions. Its just like how John Stewart was as an interviewer, and Trevor has absolutely matched and kept that aspect of the daily show going

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would be so proud of his daughter. Thank you, Trevor, for the nice interview.

Being able to disseminate nonviolence in an online platform that's definitely what America and the whole world needs. We're too much at each other's throats we need more love in this world

The essence of this brilliant and intellectual conversation is fantastic 👑

[audreylong]

An insightful love this message of connecting Non-violence & Love from an MLK voice as a resurrected superpower. Admirable.
Let's see more of these type of discussions!

[davidbryden]

Love Trevor's insightful questions 👌

[JoshHart]

Hey Trevor! This was really insightful and engaging- kudos to you both. Request- can we get Ms. King on a Beyond the Scenes with Roy Wood Jr.? Thanks in advance for your consideration 😃

[locojazz]

Wow it’s really nice to see King’s family still teaching non-violence ✨

My ears piqued when I heard her talk about Pres. Johnson and how he and Rev. Martin Luther King made progress together for civil rights. As an older white lady I was actually named after Mr. Johnson for his civil rights advocacy as Majority Leader in the senate even before his presidency. Maybe I can be so bold to say that civil rights is part of me even in a pre-natal way :) Two things -- Mr. Johnson legacy of civil rights work is definitely overshadowed by the Vietnam war AND Rev. King even tho it was unpopular was strong enough to point out that basically the war will detract from the power of the civil rights movement, give an impression of weakness by caving in general to advisors over a war that was ultimately in and of itself a devastating civil rights manifestation. Human frailties, inconsistencies, complications, cruelty....I guess we just put on our ears as she suggested and move forward. Just imagine if Mr. Johnson had listened to Rev King on just this one sad piece of History.

What a balanced perspective from Dr King? Wow

[robertsterett]

Once again, another Awesome interview knocked out of the park! This was one of your top interviews!

[margholtz]

Listen without being defensive, talk without being offensive

[JustinDeRosa]

Listen without defense and speak without offense. 💪🏽

[goldiv]

I wouldn' t mind an extensive interview on her ongoing projects. I'll seek it out of course, but these two communicate exceptionally well, it would just be cool to see on TDS.

[ashleyc]

Such a fantastic interview. Insightful and enlightening.
