"cbs this morning" co-host michelle miller covered the funeral. this was a chance for his family to speak out. what did they have to say? >> reporter: good morning. after an emotional service at the fountain of praise church right behind me, george floyd's family says the memorial does not mark the end of his life, but the beginning of a new chapter, the chapter where floyd could change the world. >> the world knows george floyd. i know perry jr. >> george perry floyd was honored in a celebration of life service in his hometown of houston, texas. >> in the tradition of the african-american church, this will be a homegoing celebration. >> reporter: floyd's family shared stories about the man the world did not get to see. >> he was a pesky little rascal, but we all loved him. >> i thank god for giving me my own personal superman. >> reporter: but they also said

they will continue their mission in his name. >> but right now, i want justice for my brother, my big brother. >> and i can breathe, as long as i'm breathing, justice will be served for perry. >> reporter: it was a four-hour memorial service filled with music, art and messages. one message came creatively when floyd's likeness was painted as an anthem for the civil rights movement was belted out. mayor sylvester turner says he is signing an executive order which bans choke holds within houston. >> in this city, we will require de-escalation. in this city, you have to give a warning before you shoot. >> and we'll put george's name in history. >> reporter: reverend al sharpton delivered a stirring eulogy. >> god took the rejected stone and made him the cornerstone of

a movement that's going to change the whole wide world. >> reporter: sharpton also called on sports leagues to be accountable. >> oh, it's nice to see some people change their mind, head of the nfl said yeah, maybe we was wrong. well, don't apologize. give colin kaepernick a job back. >> reporter: at the end of the service, a horse-drawn hearse took floyd to his final resting place, where he is buried next to his mother, the person he cried out for during his last moments. >> all i think about is when he was yelling for mama, and i know where mama is. she's right there. she's got her hands wide open. >> reporter: the family ofs of breonna taylor, ahmaud arbery, michael brown and trayvon martin have showed their support, being here the last few days, showing

the floyd family they are not alone in the struggle. think of them as the members of the fraternal order of families, who knows what it's like to lose a loved one to violence. floyd's brother is expected to testify today on the congressional hearing on police reforms in washington. that is a big day for him, for this family, for this city. anthony? >> it is, michelle. thank you. in seattle, protesters took their fight against police brutality inside city hall. hundreds of demonstrators occupied the building after a march where many called for the city's mayor to resign. in denver, there was a vigil just outside the state capital. the peaceful program began with a meditation and in hollywood, a sit-in was staged on sunset boulevard. it was just one of many events honoring george floyd. in boston, there was a different approach. people beheaded a statue of christopher columbus. another columbus statue in

richmond, virginia, was knocked over and dragged into a lake. cbs news is learning more about a possible connection between george floyd and the former police officer charged with second-degree murder in his death. david penny, a co-worker of floyd and derek chauvin at a minneapolis nightclub told our jeff begues the two had a history. >> what kind of history? >> they bumped heads. >> reporter: how? >> it had a lot to do with derek being extremely aggressive inside the club with the patrons, which was an issue. >> jeff begues joins us now from minneapolis with this part of the story. jeff, what else are we learning about this? >> reporter: well, good morning, gayle. david penny and many others are aware of george floyd and derek chauvin working at the same time. derek chauvin worked outside on

detail and george floyd worked inside. penny also worked on night detail. he said the two butted heads and he described chauvin, in his words, aggressive toward minority customers. penny tells me the manager of the club would hand out paychecks to the security staff on the inside, people like george floyd. it was then their job to then pay the outside staff, people like derek chauvin. and on one occasion, according to david penny and another person we talked to, chauvin took issue with how much he was being paid and blamed george floyd, who had handed him the check. >> all right. so they had a beef in your view, at least one time over money. >> exactly. but it's not george's responsibility the way he receives his pay, for one. that's the manager's job from the club. >> reporter: but derek took it

out on george? >> exactly. that's what i understand. at the time, yes. i actually had to make him leave the club. >> reporter: so is there any doubt in your mind that that monday, derek didn't know who george was? >> i would say he knew him. >> reporter: you think he knew who george was? >> yes. >> reporter: any doubt in your mind that he knew who george was? >> no, no doubt in my mind. he knew exactly who george was. >> reporter: so we also spoke with the club owner, who said she was not aware of any payroll issues, but she also described derek chauvin as being aggressive toward minority customers, and there is another issue. she said that, you know, she didn't want to complain to the police department about chauvin's behavior because she felt if she complained, she

would get someone worse than derek chauvin because, in her words, chauvin was one of the good cops in the precinct. so, she didn't want him being replaced with another cop that she felt would be a bully. gayle? >> jeff, if what mr. penny is saying is true, and he does seem very adamant about it, what does it mean? is this significant? >> reporter: it's significant because investigators will try to figure out what was in derek chauvin's mind at the time this incident here occurred. was there some sort of intent? i mean, if you look at that video, there are a lot of people who are wondering why did he keep pressing his knee against george floyd's neck? and so they have, according to our sources, asked the same questions. did the two men know each other? they are aware that the two men worked at that club at the same time. >> all right, jeff, thank you

very much. tony? all right. and the floyd case is not the only one drawing scrutiny. this morning, we're hearing from the family of a black man who died in a struggle with sheriff's deputies more than a year ago in austin, texas. police body camera video shows deputies tasing javier anler four times before he died. they're calling it a homicide that could have been justifiable. his arrest was filmed by the tv show "live pd" but that footage was never released. >> reporter: over and over, javier adler can be heard telling police "i can't breathe." >> stop resisting. >> reporter: police chased adler for not dimming his hed headlights and ended when he crashed after tasing adler repeatedly, police officers performed cpr for several minutes after he became unresponsive. according to an autopsy, he died

of congestive heart failure and hypertensive cardiovascular disease associated with morbid obesity in combination with forceable restraint. kimberly moore is adler's sister. >> we've been asking literally since the day he passed, where's the video? i feel like if you have something to hide because something was wrong, that's the reason why you would act that way. >> reporter: margaret ward is investigating the case. >> we, being the police department and d.a.'s office did not get the cooperation from the williamson county sheriff's office or "live pd" that we requested. >> reporter: the williamson sheriff's department says it remains willing and ready to cooperate in the investigation but hasn't been contacted by the d.a. adding any attempt to say we have slowed or otherwise impeded the investigation is absolutely false. the arrest is raising questions about the show "live pd," which

was filming at the time. >> live pd is a show that turns policing into entertainment. >> reporter: dan traversky is the host of the podcast "running from cops,". >> they chased him, tased him and killed him. you have to wonder if that's the right thing they should do as police or was it the right thing to do as police officers on a tv show? >> he was a human. he was loved. he had a family. he may not have been anything to them, but he was a big part of us. >> reporter: in a statement, a & e, the network that airs "live pd" says they were never contacted about the adler case and didn't retain the video so they have nothing to turn over in this investigation. we understand "live pd" has been taken off television after the george floyd death while a similar reality show "cops" is reportedly being canceled, produced by paramount, a subsidiary of viacom cbs.

anthony? >> thank you. president trump said nothing yesterday about george floyd's funeral but did take the time to spread a right-wing conspiracy theory on twitter about a 75-year-old protester who was shoved to the ground by buffalo police and severely injured. the president's claims have no known basis in fact. ben tracy reports from the white house. >> reporter: the video was shocking, 75-year-old martin gugino shoved down by police last week, blood poured out of his ear as officers walked by. tuesday, with no evidence, president trump said he could be an antifa provocatuer and falling to the ground could be a setup, spread by far-right media

services. a well-known local peace activist is still in the hospital. in a statement his attorney said we are at a loss to understand why the president of the united states would make such dark, dangerous and untrue accusations against him. >> you think the blood coming out of his head was staged? >> reporter: new york governor andrew cuomo demanded president trump apologize. >> i don't think donald trump is going to change his behavior. >> reporter: several republicans t tried to avoid the topic, including the president's own chief of staff, mark meadows. >> i learned a long time ago not to comment on twitter. >> reporter: meadows visited capitol hill tuesday to discuss police reforms with republican senator tim scott. a draft report of scott's plan, obtained by cbs news includes new reporting requirements for deadly use of force incidents by police, increased funding for body cameras and de-escalation training. so far the white house has not said what, if any, reforms it

would support. meanwhile president trump is still considering giving a national address about race and unity. white house is trying to figure out where to do that. we're told it is unlikely to be an oval office address. gayle? >> all right, ben. thank you very much. we would all be listening. primary voters in two potential battleground states waited for hours to vote yesterday. and a possible preview of the november election. nevada limited in-person voting to a small number of stations because of the coronavirus. georgia reported major problems with new voting machines and a shortage of poll workers. ed o'keefe is covering campaign 2020. what happened? can they fix it before november? i keep hearing it was a hot mess. good morning to you. >> reporter: certainly one way to put it, gayle. yes, that is certainly the hope, that it gets cleaned up by november. georgia, a battleground in the fall. issues there basically set around the coronavirus.

long-time poll workers didn't want to show up around health concerns, the new ones that did didn't know how to operate new voting machines. it led to this line, thousands waiting for hours. secretary of state office is blaming some county officials, mostly in the atlanta area because of these conditions, and some voters expressed outrage, especially given that georgia has a history of voter suppression. >> this is a crisis in our world to make us not exercise our right to vote. >> i don't think it's the new machines. i do think that there is systematic disenfranchisement of specific communities. >> reporter: now five states held primaries yesterday, but it was what happened in nevada and georgia, that stretched into last night that could be a big concern to officials nationwide. the pandemic is causing this. fewer voting sites to control crowds, long lines and there's concern there will be a big strain on the vote by mail or

absentee system, tony. election day may turn into election week, potentially in some cases, as it takes to count all the ballots. >> i hear you, but the right to vote is fundamental. we need to make s (tonya) smoking damaged my heart.

george floyd, more than 10,000 people poured into the streets. unlike other cities, newark suffered no fires, no looting either. [ cheers ] what you can find on the streets of newark, dancing. >> our kids singing in the street is enough to drive the white supremacists back. >> what do we want? >> justice! >> when do we want it? >> now! >> reporter: by the massive protest's end, newark police did not make a single arrest. how did that happen? >> the police showed incredible restraint during the march and during the evening. >> reporter: four years ago, the city of newark negotiated an agreement with the department of justice to reform its police department. >> our officers are trained differently. they have, you know, all kind of sensitivity training it deescalation training. >> reporter: this is a black city for the most part. it is a city that has seen

rebellion, unrest, disappointment in the past. >> right now our police department is majority minority. so the majority are police officers that are black and brown. many now come from the city of newark. we made a concerted and deliberate effort to do that. >> all rightme. everything's all right. >> reporter: complaints against newark police are down more than 70%, and a show of how closely the mayor works with his cops, last week mayor baraka went with his gut and said -- >> let us all take a knee. >> reporter: the police chief set aside followed suit. some folks say taking a knee is a sign of weakness. you say -- >> i say it's a sign of strength. i think it takes a lot of strength to restrain yourself, it takes a lot of strength to discipline yourself. there's something about that that people need to understand. >> george! >> reporter: community organizer larry hamm spearheaded the

newark protests working closely with the mayor. we found hamm this past weekend in neighboring montclair. >> we have to deconstruct and reconstruct policing as we know it in the united states. >> reporter: your biggest roadblock -- >> the police unions. unless they know that if they murder a man, they're going to be charged, they're going to be prosecuted, when they know that, then they'll be hesitant about taking someone's life like george floyd's life was taken. >> we haven't had any riots. i'm shocked. i predicted riots for the city. >> reporter: college student devionne johnson told us that he attended the protests to fight injustice, but that would only come by keeping the peace. >> only reason i'm not radical right now, throwing trash cans out windows, is because i'm -- i understand. i understand that's not the way go. i understand history. we can't be taking this violent direction. it makes no sense. it's a means to an end. >> reporter: >> they did it. they held the line. my hat's off to them.

>> reporter: where do you go from here? >> two months from now you're not going to be as angry as are you are today. but your commitment, love of community, of humanity is enduring, and two months from now those emotions will remain. in fact, over time, love gets stronger. >> reporter: you really believe that? >> i absolutely know it. >> reporter: it's worth remembering that during protests back in 1967, mayor baraka's father was severely beaten by a police officer. and a bit of news -- the mayor announced just yesterday that he is reallocating about $12 million of the police budget to anti-violence programs. gayle? >> boy, michelle it looks like many cities could take notes from the mayor. the scene that you showed with the mayor and all the police officers that we saw kneeling down was very, very powerful to see. and bravo to young devionne, too, said you got to know your

history. >> reporter: and something else he said to me that is striking me a lot, he is asking young people, people of all ages and stripes, to vote in november for everyone on the ballot. >> yes, yes. agree, agree, agree. and one other thing i noticed -- listen, you never go wrong with an electric slide and the cupid shuffle. i've been known to trample little children to get to the dance floor to do that. it makes you feel good no matter where you are. >> reporter: the picture is -- >> don't act like you don't know what that is. >> reporter: yeah. don't act like you haven't been on the floor doing the electric shuffle. thank you so much. great job in hasn't. ahead, vlad duthiers loo ♪

before you say "frankly, my dear, i don't give a hoot," stick around because it is time for"what to watch" with mr. vlad duthiers. >> yeah. >> i hope -- i hope people give a hoot. i hope people give a hoot. good to see you all. we're working from home. while we're working from home, we're looking at the stories we think you'll be talking about including this -- to reference, tony, what you were talk couing about, hbo max pulled "gone with the wind" from list of movies available for streaming. the epic has long been criticized for its depiction of african-americans and for romanticizing the confederacy. an hbo spokesperson says the movie will return to the streaming service with a discussion of its historical context and a denouncement of those very depictions. and anthony, this all started with an op-ed in the "los angeles times" by "12 years a slave" writer john ridley. he's not calling for the film to

be censored but he made suggestions. >> yeah. this is -- this is really kind of hollywood's first major blockbuster. it won eight oscars. i think adjusted for inflation, it's still the highest grossing film of all time. hadi mcdonnell, who you saw there, won an oscar for playing the house slave. and what the criticism has long been, that it glorifies the antebellum south which it does. but i think -- i totally agree. i think it should be put in some real context here after all this time. you got another story we can learn from, what is it? >> indeed. i'll point out, fun fact, it is hadd i mcdaniels' birthday toda. a simple conversation about race in myrtle beach, south carolina, is gaining global attention. it started with caroline brock's facebook post reading, "i'm a 45-year-old white woman living in the south, and today for the first time i spoke frankly about racism with a black man."

he asked ernest skelton who's been fixing her appliances how he is faring in the climate we're living in. she told me she was floored when skeleton told her he gets pulled over in his work truck at least half a dozen times a year. >> i opened up because we need to be heard. police judge me, judge us as criminals before they even ask for our i.d. >> i had the responsibility to see this to the end. this can't just be a feel-good story. this has to be something with wheels on it. we might be able to step outside our door, go to the local police station, and ask harder questions. >> the pair have now become close friends. and recently they attended an anti-racism protest together. got a picture of them even having dinner with their respective spouses. >> well, that is how it starts. you can learn the most unexpected things from the most unexpected people in the most unexpected places. you know what struck me about that? she's 45 years old, and that is the first conversation she's had

with a black man. wow. wow. a lot of conversation needs to be had in this country. i'm glad they're doing that. >> exactly. that's exactly right. exactly right. >> what were you going to say? what were you going to say -- >> no, you're absolutely right. it's -- and as you say, it starts with a conversation. the fact that she asked him those questions and, more importancely, she told -- importantly, she told me she listened. through listening, she's trying to effect change in our community which is to be applauded. >> yes. i love this. so you've got one more for us, vlad duthiers. >> got one more. we were all watching the memorial service yesterday for george floyd. and let us introduce you to that speed artist that we told you about earlier who painted a special portrait of george floyd. it only took ange hillz about three minutes, three minutes, to re-create the image of floyd which he pointed upside down and from memory. hill says it touched his heart to paint a portrait of a man

who's become a global, con of the struggle against racism and police brutality. >> our conduct, myself feel emotional just like that could have been me or anybody or any of my family members. i just want to thank the family to be able to showcase to the world what's going on right now. >> and tony, he did this upside down from memory while a change is going to come was sung on the stage there. it was a beautiful moment. >> just an amazing artistic talent there to capture a person's essence. it was as george floyd's picture was always there, andry revealed it. i had a heart problem.

it might feel strange. that is until you go outside, take a breath of fresh air, and happen upon a man walking his pet goose. >> whoa. no, no, no. whoa. [ laughter ] >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." listen, i think we needed that. i don't know what's funnier. the guy with the goose flapping in the wind, or the guy who was laughing. there's something about when you hear genuine laughter, that just sort of touches you and cracks you up. tony? >> yeah. gayle, i mean, why did the goose cross the road? to get to the other side. it's a hot pavement. all right. we all needed a laugh today. it's been a tough few weeks, of course. emotions ran high in houston yesterday as more than 500 people gathered for a final fair

well to george floyd. a four-hour service was held yesterday in floyd's home town. in a show of solidarity, a line of police officers saluted his golden casket as it was carried into the church. michelle miller is in houston and has been covering the funeral there. michelle, good morning again. >> reporter: good morning. this funeral wasn't just about remembering a life taken too soon. it was a call to end systemic racism that continues to plague american society. members of floyd's family gave moving and tearful tributes. there were musical tributes. floyd spoke about what his brother's legacy will be. >> all i think about is when he was yelling for mama, and i know she's got her hands wide open, cam here, baby.

>> everybody is going to remember him around the world. he's going to change the world. >> during his eulogy, the reverend recognized family members of other black men who lost their lives who were in attendance. the mothers of trayvon martin and erik garner were among those who got an ovation. floyd's casket was loaded in a horse drawn carriage where it was taken the final mile before he was laid to rest next to his mother. his family said they believe their loved one will change the world. we've already seen police reform legislation in washington, and now houston's mayor says he'll sign an order requiring police to ban all choke holds. michelle, thank you. the majority of minneapolis's city council is pledging to defund or dismantle the police

department. however, the city's mayor opposes that. >> go home, jacob, go home. >> protesters chanted go home, jacob over the weekend after he said he does not support dismantling the department. the mayor supports reform and says there needs to be a culture shift in policing. he joins us from minneapolis city hall. good morning, mr. mayor. as we said, your own city council believes the police department can't be reformed, but you still do. though you say the elephant in the room is the police union. what do you mean by that? >> let me be clear. we need deep, structural reform to how the police department has done business for years in a way that has failed black and brown people repeatedly. we need a culture shift in terms

of the way the police department does business, but am i for abolishing the entire department? no, i'm not. and yes, the elephant in the room is the police union, the collective bargaining agreement. it's the arbitration provisions that are set up that quite literally prevent the chief and i in many instances from both disciplining and terminating officers who have had wrongful conduct. if we're serious about reform and serious about changing the game, we need to attack those provisions. >> how do you do that? >> there's a number of different mechanisms to make sure it happens. so many of these provisions are deep seeded in state law. there are progressive chiefs and mayors coming before me that have been thwarted by the provisions. and it sets up a system. it sets up a system where we will trm nate an individual, they go through a long,

bureaucratic process and in some cases as much as a year or more later, the initial determination to terminate or discipline is then reverted. the individual comes back to the police department. the culture does not shift, and there is no accountability. we need changes in state law. in some cases we need changes in city policy, but let's be very clear. we do need to go after the police union in many of these instances because that is where a lot of this culture has come from. it needs to change. >> in your view, is that the primary reform that's needed? >> i think there are many areas of reform that are needed. we need to revamp our use of force policies but in many instances we're inhibited by state law. yes, we need to make sure the accountability matrix is set up so when officers have wrongful conduct, there are consequences, but without attacking the primary modes, you don't get the

culture shift. in order to get a culture shift, you have to to a certain point, focus on personnel. and you can't get those serious personnel changes without two things. one, the ability to get the right officers in. and two, the ability to get the wrong officers out. so am i for massive systemic reform? absolutely. and i don't want to comment on precisely what the council meant by disbanding or ending the police force. i think there's varying opinions. but what i'm saying is look, i'm not for abolishing but deep structural reform, absolutely, we have to make it happen. >> you campaigned on reform. that's part of how you got elected. you have reformed the body cam policy. you have banned warrior training. but we still have the george floyd incident. is reform enough? i mean, you've got a city council majority that says they want to start over again.

>> well, you're right in that the body camera policy has been more effective. we brought compliance from 55 % to 95%. we were the first city in the nation to ban off-duty warrior style training so officers are not deeming someone a threat until proven otherwise. and here's a big thing. we have a chief, a chief who is from community who literally sued the police department for racial discrimination and won. he has integrity and is now our chief. he is leading the way in terms of these massive structural reforms that we need to see. and i want to be clear, he has my 100% support. a full on reshaping. >> mayor, very quickly. >> we can talk about semantics but -- yes. >> sorry, very quickly, cbs news has learned there was a plea

negotiation deal between the former officer derek chauvin and the county prosecutor and u.s. attorney's office. but that broke down before charges were filed. were you aware of that? >> i was not aware of the details of that, no. >> so you're not aware of any negotiations at all? >> we're not involved in the prosecution or the investigation. the pieces that we were involved is as soon as we found out, we said it was absolutely heinous and wrong in every sense. two, we fired the officers. >> mr. mayor -- >> three, i called for charges and i think that's something we need to start doing. it's honest and we need to acknowledge the truth. >> all right. mr. mayor, thank you so much for being with us this morning. ahead, former candidate for governor of georgia stacey abrams will join us to talk

georgia is facing harsh criticism after voters say they encountered major issues casting ballots in yesterday's primary. lines in some areas stretched for hours amid reports of voting machine problems and ballots that just were not delivered. in a statement, voting rights group fair fight said, "blame incompetence and malfeasance at the base level." stacy brahms is author of "our times is now: power, purpose, and the fight for a fair america." abrams, as you know, was also the 2018 democratic nominee for governor in georgia. she joins us now from atlanta.

boy, oh boy, stacey, did timing seem to work in our favor when we booked you to talk about your book. now we have to start with what happened in georgia yesterday. the headline in your paper says, "major meltdown." as you look at this, are you thinking i know this song, i know all the words? what do you think when you look at what happened yesterday? >> it's exactly what i talk about in "our time is now," which is the ability for voter suppression to work is almost complete. georgia has seen this before. yesterday was i think one of the most egregious examples, and i want to be clear, it wasn't simply targeted or certainly didn't simply happen in democratic strongholds. it happened across the state. one of the problems with voter suppression was the incompetence and malfeasance that we see in the secretary of state's office in georgia, that while the car target may be voters of color or democratic voters, it hits

everyone. the long lines happened mostly in the urban areas. but we had to see extensions in democratic and republican areas including the republican area represented by the republican speaker of the house. this is a complete meltdown and failure of the secretary of state's office. >> that's what i find so interesting, that it was both democrats and republicans who were complaining. some people waited in line for five hours. i saw a lady in the rain with her child under an umbrella. now the democrats and republicans are pointing fingers at each other. who's to blame and why does it keep happening? >> the blame rests solely and squarely on the shoulders of the secretary of state. that's the crux of the lawsuit that we filed in the wake of the 2018 election. the secretary of state is the superintendent of elections. that means it's his job to make sure that democracy works in every county, that it shouldn't matter where you live. the problem with voter suppression is that in their urge and zeal to break the

machinery for communities, they've broken it for everyone. we saw this happen across the state, but we do know that it was in union city last night that the last voter didn't finish until 12:36 a.m. that happens because voter suppression is real and because we keep aligning the notion that we can fix it. we can't wait for justice to come. and that's why fair fight action has been collecting stories and filing lawsuits. until we can change the people in charge, we have to focus on changing their behavior by bringing attention to what they do wrong. >> but you know, stacey, each you had a problem. i was reading that you tried to vote absentee, and that didn't work out for you because clearly there's a problem with the absentee ballot. and now we're five month as works from an election. what was the issue -- five months away there an election. what was the issue and what can be done in five months? >> my absentee ballot, although i applied for it fairly early in the process, when it finally

arrived, the return envelope was sealed. as i pointed out, i tried to steam it open because i watch a lot of perry mason. it didn't work. i had to go vote in person. the reality is across the state and around the country, we know that vote by mail is a good thing. but what we saw happen in georgia was a failure of investment of resources. that's why the heroes act -- >> can this be fixed? >> absolutely. >> can this be fixed before november? >> it can -- it absolutely can. if the u.s. senate will approve the heroes act and the $3.6 billion to fix this problem, not just in georgia but in pennsylvania, in maryland, across the country, we simple have to put the resources in to scale up our mechanisms. here's the thing to remember -- 34 states have vote by mail with no excuses. 16 additional states allow vote by mail in some form. unless we have guardrails that hold everyone to the same

standards and the investment that makes it possible, what we saw happen in georgia was a failure of investment, a failure of training, and a failure of direction. >> i've got less than 30 second. you know it's widely reported you're on the short list for joe biden's vp. we talked about it last time you were here. clearly you're very interested. have you had recent conversations? so much has changed since you were last here. why you had conversations with team biden? >> i've been focused on promoting my book, "our time is now," because this is a moment to have a discussion about the country we want next. that can only happen if we understand what voter suppression looks like and fight for a fair america across the state, the country. >> okay. you can focus on your book and other things, we know you're a good multi-tasker, stacey abrams. we thank you. i have a feeling that this won't be the last conversation we will have for you -- with you before this election in november. thank you so much. we'll be right back.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." hey, it's time to bring stories that are the "talk of the table." you know how this goes. we each pick a story that share with each other and with all of you. and tony has the pole position today. >> all rightment very good. we've all been talking about racism. what it is, how you define it, how you change it. and now i've got the story of a young woman in missouri who literally helped redefine it. and i mean that literally. she was unhappy with merriam webst webster's definition, it calls racism, quote, a belief that race is the primary determinate of human traits and capacity and

that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. that is the current, official definition in webster's. kennedy mitchum, recent college graduate, said that definition leaves out a very important idea. listen -- >> i know what racism is, i've experienced it. so i emailed them, i basically told them they needed to include that there's systematic oppression upon a group of people. it's not just -- it's not, oh, i don't like someone. >> ah, yes. it's not just one bad person who does a bad thing or has a bad idea. there can be such a thing as systemic racism, and hmerriam webster agreed. this is a dictionary used by tens of millions. i remember it from elementary school being in the back of the classroom. and language is a tool, this is a very important user's manual. >> and you know what i say, i say, you go, kennedy mitchum.

you go. what i like is more people are starting to have the conversation using the "r" word, racism, don't be scared. that's how we all start. that's how we learn. i think this is a good thing. i'm familiaring up on that. we talk with former nfl linebacker emanuel acho about "uncomfortable conversations with a black man." aimed at educating people about racism. so he just put up a new episode on line, oscar winner matthew mcconaughey sits down with him with pointed questions, including this one -- >> equality, the definition of equality, what equality is and what is equality not? >> i do not think that there is such a thing as equality in america. the wake of slavery is still hitting african-americans. when you get on a boat, whether you're in lake austin, here, ten minutes from here, or anywhere in the austin, if you get on a boat, there's a wake that follows the boat. although you might not still be

driving the boat, there are african-americans getting smacked by the wake left of slavery. what is the wake, that's what we talked about, systemic injustice, poor school systems, voter suppression. there is a wake. that's why things aren't equal. only because it's still a wake from -- we don't feel guilty. tired. tired. >> it's not all right, all right, all right, but heard, heard, heard could turn out to be something. he said he there was to learn, to share, to listen and understand the common ground between the two. but also expose their differences and try to promote more conversations. anthony, both guys are from austin, texas. they live in austin, texas. i don't know if they know each other or knew each other before this conversation. it certainly is off to a really good start. his second one, emmanuel's second youtube series is up right now. >> yeah. uncomfortable conversations with a black man -- we can't have enough conversations. and i think some white people

have to have uncomfortable conversations with themselves and ourselves. very important. can't talk enough. my "talk of the table" is this -- a tribute to revered singer/songwriter john prine who died of coronavirus complications back in april. an all-star lineup has been put together for a celebration of prine's life. it includes brandi carlile, vince gill, bill murray, and stephen colbert. the tribute which will stream on prine's social channels including facebook and youtube was organized by his family and will raise money for charity. we spoke with prine's widow, fiona whelan prine, in her first tv interview since john prine's death. ♪ ♪ summer came faster than we wanted ♪ >> john prine was beloved by his fans who are still grieving his loss. ♪ fiona whelan prine says they miss her late husband.

album, about eight songs in. they will release more of his music in the future. that concert, again, premieres thursday at 7:30 on john prine's social networks. gayle? >> yeah. boy, anthony, i'm still thinking about mrs. prine. number one, it was a beautiful interview. i'm glad that you two could laugh together. that was nice to see. but when she said the part about feeling an uncharted territory and a friend calling and said "i was hoping you could tell me," wow. that was beautifully, beautifully done. he's deeply missed. deeply missed. >> they were a great -- they were a great couple. and john had a great sense of humor, too. and so does fiona. so many people are going through this now as we know. ahead, we'll talk to a father who wrote a powerful facebook post about why he never takes a walk without his daughters or his dog. we discusses the fear black men this is decision tech.

a powerful facebook post that spread across the nation is starting a conversation about the fear that many black men have when walking alone. in the post, shola richards write, "when i'm walking down the street holding my young daughter's hand and walking my sweet fluffy dog, i'm just a loving dad and a pet owner.

without them by my side, almost instantly i morph into a threat in the eyes of some white folks. it's equal parts exhausting and depressing to feel like i can't walk outside alone for fear of being targeted. shola richards joins us from los angeles. good morning. it's such a powerful post. and it reminds me of the idea that white people often say, we're colorblind. but that is its own kind of privilege. it's easy to be clienolorblind your race is not making you very self-conscious. how often in your day-to-day life are you made aware of the color of your skin? >> good morning, and thanks for having me. all the time, there's not a day that passes where i wake up and i'm not aware of who i am, skin color i have, how that presents certain challenges. it's not meant to be in a place of victimization, just the reality of what i face on a daily basis that i have to experience and having to teach

to my daughters. >> yeah. i think there are some people who might hear the walk around the block story and think, oh, he's being sensitive. there's the amazon prime story that i think brings this idea home. imagine a neighbor asks you to pick up their packages off of their porch. how would you feel about that scenario? >> it's funny -- yes, thank you for sharing that. that's a real story, one of my very good friends, a neighbor of mine, had a bunch of amazon packages piled occupy his porch. he was -- piled up on his porch. he was on vacation. he was like, shola, can you bring the packages to my house, i'll pick them up once i get home. the idea of my going to a house that's not mine, picking up packages that don't belong to me, and then carrying them down the street or loading this eminto my car, i -- loading them into my car, i hope it's obvious to some people how that could play out poorly for me. it's these things that are innocuous to most people but to me could be potentially a bad

situation or bad position, or things i have to think about before i act every single day. >> yeah. it's easy to imagine a neighbor, well intentioned as they may be, having a preconception about who is going to steal packages and call the police because they see you in particular. what's also striking about your post is you address some of the common responses to black lives matter and to our national confrontation right now with racism. one of them is all lives matter. your response to that? >> i mean, i really struggle with this concept of all lives matter. i know on the surface it may seem like it's a good response, but in reality it's not. the analogy i use is if i went to the doctor and i broke my arm, and the doctor's response to me was, to my pain, like, hey, shola, all bones matter. i'm like, yeah, man, i understand that, that's clear.

but right now, my arm is broken, and there's only one bone in crisis right now. it's my arm. so for you to bring up other bones or all bones seem to be silly. i'm not going to run into a lymphoma society meeting and start screaming, "breast cancer matters," like all cancer matters. let's focus on the issue and focus on the area that needs the most. . >> yeah. let's focus. as we're in this moment of focus, what do you hope people take from your story and all the stories being shared right now? >> first of all, i'm so grateful. this -- i'm an optimist. but there feels different. this -- this feels different. this feels like the energy we're seeing from good white mineral and all colors -- white men and women and all colors, my hope to that we do more than just putting the blackout square on your profile photo on social media and continue activism. continue to be an ally. make mistakes, screw up, get embarrassed, try again, course

correct. whatever you do, just don't stop because we're in a place where we can't be distracted by basketball games and football games, covid-19's canceled everything. so let's use this time to learn, to read, to have meaningful conversations, and most importantly keep showing up every day to fight this. >> yeah, focus. focus and action. all right, shola richards, thank you very much on today's podcast, investments president and co-ceo mellody hobson talks about how corporations can go beyond social media and address racism and address systemic inequalities in organizations. she was so good, i was like a third of it.

z3wvoz z1s6z y3wvoy y1s6y well as to how a have reverse mortgage works. people think that the bank takes your home, but that is not true. that's absolutely 100% wrong. the home is ours.

we can sell it if we want to at any time. i like the flexibility of not having a payment, but i can make the payment if i want to. you're responsible for keeping up your property taxes and you're responsible for paying your insurance on the property. for us, it was a security blanket. the value of our house, was to fund our long-term health care. for years, reverse mortgage funding has been helping customers like these use the equity from their homes to finance their lives. they know the importance of having financial security. make an appointment so they can tell you how it works. it's a good thing. access your equity. stay in your home. have peace of mind. that will do it for us. before we say good-bye, anthony,

i'm still thinking about mrs. prine. and tony, i'm still thinking about shola. here he is, very strong, very confident, but has his daughter and his dog. there's something that bothers me about it. i so get
