Welcome back to TED Talks Daily. I'm Elise Hugh. This is part two of a special episode of the podcast.

In the first, you heard from Philip Atiba Gough, who heads the Center for Policing Equity,

Rashad Robinson, the president of color of change, Dr. Bernice Albertine King, the CEO of the King Center,

and Anthony D. Romero, the executive director of the ACLU.

Today, you'll hear all four in conversation, co-hosted by Head of Ted, Chris Anderson,

and Ted's current affairs curator, Whitney Pennington Rogers. This is a gripping, urgent discussion.

Let's get to work. I guess I'll start, let me start with a question to you, Dr. King.

I was so inspired by what you said. Your father, of course, also deeply understood the anger that leads to protests. I think he said that protests are the language of the

unheard. And I'm wondering what you would say to someone right now who is angered beyond measure

by what's happened and also sees this could be the moment, you know,

like someone who believes that the system is so fundamentally broken that our best choice is

to tear it down, that that is actually, that this may be a once in a generational moment to do that.

And so to actually believe that protests, including violent protests, actually is the way right now.

What would you say to someone who felt that?

First, I just wanted to make just a slight correction.

You said riots of the language of the unheard.

I apologize.

I apologize.

That is the point even more powerfully.

Yes.

Protest we must, and we must continue to always protest

to keep the issues and the awareness before people.
