As a generation of civil rights leaders continues to pass away, we look at their legacy; and the morning's Headlines.

Several civil rights leaders have died in the past months—just yesterday that number grew further with the death of Dorothy Height. As they pass on, our chances to learn first hand about their generation and their movement are fewer and fewer. Today we speak with civil rights activists Charles Evers and Dr. Roscoe Brown, about the legacy of civil rights leaders, and the lessons they hope to give to a younger generation of leaders who experience questions about civil rights in similar and markedly different ways. Our question to listeners: Do younger people take civil rights for granted?

A six-month investigation into the multi-million dollar business of carbon offsets has uncovered, instead of verdant forests of carbon-sequestering trees, many shady alleys of corruption and fraud. Consumers' motivation is for the best, but the companies who say they'll plant a tree to compensate for one's upcoming plane trip are effectively unregulated, say the investigators.

• NUTRITION TAKEOUT: The average American consumes about 1,200 milligrams more sodium a day than they should. Too much sodium in our diets could lead to hypertension and heart disease. To combat this, the FDA is proposing a ten year plan to cut down the amount of salt in our foods. Marion Nestle, an NYU nutritionist and author of "Safe Food: The Politics of Food Safety," has the details of the FDA's plan and tells us whether it might work.
• LEGAL TAKEOUT: The Supreme Court invalidated a federal law that banned videos depicting violence against animals, in an 8-1 decision yesterday. Columbia University law professor Nate Persily looks into why the Court ruled they way it did.

Following news on both big earnings and a fraud suit filed against them by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Goldman Sachs is trying to push back against the kind of publicity that surely inspires some populist rage.

Well, Takeaway contributor Beth Kobliner, author of "Get a Financial Life", thinks we should look to that family member for inspiration in making our very own DIY Bailout. She says everyone should aspire to the art of deal making.
