through an act of violence at the hands and the feet of people who had been charged with keeping them safe. >> with the brother of george floyd and the mother of breonna taylor in attendance, tyre nichols, yet another young, black life snuffed out by the brutality of police is mourned in memphis. and later, congresswoman omar joins me as republicans continue their revenge tour. plotting to deny her a seat on the foreign affairs committee. we begin tonight on the first day of black history month, while it's still legal, presumably even in florida. in memphis, tyre nichols was eulogized today by reverend al sharpton, vice president kamala harris, ben crump, and tyree's family in an emotional and powerful ceremony in the city that was once the site of the

final speech of reverend dr. martin luther king jr. on the night before his assassination in april, 1968. >> looking at the balcony where martin luther king shed his blood, for city workers, for black city workers, to be able to work in the police department, work in sanitation and the reason why mr. and mrs. wells would happen to tyre is so personal to me, is that five black men that wouldn't have had a job in the police department, in the city that dr. king lost his life, not far away from that balcony, you beat a brother to death. >> despite the profound symbolism, most americans

actually have little historical memory of dr. martin luther king jr.'s final speech. except for its closing line -- >> and i've looked over. and i've seen the promised land. i may not get there with you. but i want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land. so i'm happy tonight. i'm not worried about anything. i'm not fearing any man. mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord. >> but before king dropped those famous lines, he did something that you may not have heard much about. he called out southern governor's attacks on freedom of speech and their injunctions against civil rights marches and protests, saying if i lived in china or even russia or any totalitarian country, maybe i could understand some of these illegal injunctions. maybe i could understand the denial of certain basic first

amendment privileges. because they hadn't committed themselves to that over there. but somewhere i read of the freedom of assembly. somewhere i read of the freedom of speech. somewhere i read of the freedom of the press. somewhere i read that the greatness of america is the right to protest for right. so just as i say, we aren't going to let any dogs or water hoses turn us around, we aren't going to let any injunction turn us around. we are going on. dr. king also used the speech to call for economic justice, calling on black memphis to boycott coca-cola and other companies who refused to hire black workers. he said, we've come here -- we've come by here to ask you to make the first item on your agenda, fair treatment. where god's children are concerned. now, if you are not prepared to do that, we have an agenda that we must follow and our agenda calls for withdrawing economic support from you. and he stood up for the more than 1,000 sanitation workers

who were laboring in unsafe conditions for substandard wages in memphis. and in many cases, living in poverty, often needing welfare benefits to survive even with a city job. while being belittled and mistreated by their white colleagues and supervisors at work. the sanitation workers were on strike for that reason. a strike and protest that had brought dr. king to memphis in the first place. that is the dr. king that the right doesn't want you to know. the one america's right wing authorities, including the fbi labeled communist and agitator who threatened both the social and the economic order of white supremacy. america has precious little historic memory, when schools teach the civil war, for instance, they often fail to mention that the first of 11 southern states to sus seed -- to form the confederate states of america, south carolina, openly declared that the cause of its separation was the failure of the free northern states to honor the fugitive slave laws and return run away

slaves to their masters. south carolina's ses session declaration is nearly 30 paragraph tirade of complaints against the northern states undermining of slavery, including this -- quote, we affirm that these ends for which this government was instituted have been defeated. and the government itself has been made destructive of them, by the action of the non-slaveholding states. those states have assumed the right of deciding upon the property of our domestic institutions and have denied the rights of property. established in 15 of the states and recognized kbi the constitution. they have denounced as sinful the institution of slavery. they have permitted open establishment among them of societies whose avowed object is to disturb the peace and aloin the property of the citizens of other states. they have encouraged and assisted thousands of our slaves to leave their homes and those

who remain have been incited by emissaries, books, and pictures to servile insurrection. the other states that followed suit, mississippi, florida, alabama, georgia, louisiana, texas, virginia, arkansas, tennessee and north carolina. did so for the same cause. to defend the peculiar institution deemed necessary to the south's economic survival. mississippi probably made it the plainest, stating right at the top of its ses session order that our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery. the greatest, material interest of the world. its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. these products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions and by an imperious law of nature none but the black race can bear exposure

to the tropical sun. these products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. that blow has long been aimed at the institution and was at the point of reaching its consummation. there was no choice left but to submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the union. those principles have been subverted to work out our ruin. our lack of historical memory is no accident. within decades of the civil war by the 1890s the daughters of the confederacies, comprised of daughters and widows went to work shaping the understanding of the war in the south's favor, erecting monuments, funding textbooks that were used throughout the country, not just in the south, that mollified the national understanding of slavery itself. removing it as the cause of the war. and softening its edges from a system of human breeding and

brutality to one of benign, familiar relationships and contented labor. so the war on our national memory is not new. it is, in fact, an american tradition. the memory of a slave south, the civil war, the supposedly universal greatest generation support for world war ii, and the memory of dr. king have all been victims of it. today the war on history is being fought across the red states with florida and its governor ron desantis acting as the tip of the spear, mandating education on the glories of western civilization and outlawing studies in african-american history. infusing religious doctrine into public school education by stacking school boards and college administrations while purging those institutions of liberal educators and administrators. silencing librarians and instructors with the threat of incarceration and banning books that might give students at the k through 12 or even the collegiate level a glimpse at inconvenient historical facts and diversity.

it is an american version of communist china's cultural revolution or the decades of memory purges in the ussr. the american right is trying to impose its christian nationalist doctrine on you and your kids. whether you want it or not. and they won't be satisfied to just do it in red states. just look at where they're going with their abortion bans. that is the war we're facing. but we don't have to seed this ground. we can fight for the facts. the first day of black history month seems as good a day as any to start. joining me now is dr. kennedy, founding director anti-racist research and author of several books including "how to be a young anti-racist." thank you so much for being here. i'm going to put up some of the most banned books in the country. your book is among them. but what we're seeing right now is a war on knowledge of

ourselves. and i wonder what you make of the idea that just knowing the history that i just mentioned is illegal in states like florida. >> well, what i make of it is actually something that desantis recently stated to explain why he's overhauling florida's higher education system. he's opposing programs that he stated provoke political activism. he says that's not appropriate in the state of florida. and then he's, of course, supporting programs that seem, to me, to be provoking political compliance. programs that seem to be provoking people to attack or despise people who don't look like them or even people who do look like them and are trying to just get home. >> what do you make of the -- what i would consider to be the abject cowardness to be honest of the college board which

claimed in a statement that their decision to alter their course in african-american studies was not made due to political pressure. they said this was a long-standing course that no one had seen and the decision was made outside of the politics. and yet they have taken away any part of the course material that would be involved in the tests, the a.p. tests that involved contemporary topics like black lives matter, affirmative action, queer life and reparations are now out. many black writers and scholars is out. roderick ferguson writes about queer social movements. coates, the esteemed writer for the atlantic who has written about reparations and bell hooks who writes about race, feminism and class. this is what -- to me it seems shocking to do that. kimberly crenshaw made the point that african-american history is not just about men, it's also about black people, queer people, all sorts of people. she made this point that it was stunning to say you can't read

about these other people. your thoughts? u. >> i agree with kimberly crenshaw. and indeed, you can't understand black history if you don't understand black feminism. you can't understand black history if you don't understand queer theory. there are black people who are queer. you can't understand black history if you don't have a critical understanding of race. you can't understand it. and indeed that's the purpose. and so i think that it was shocking that the college board, which imagines itself as seeking to promote higher learning, seeking to promote critical thinking, would think that we're so stupid that they haven't bowed down to political pressure. >> they've also, i think, been very open, i think, told on themselves a little bit when they added something in that i'm not understanding why it's there, which is now students who take this a.p. history class may take an option to do research

studies in black conservatism. so to me that is a tell because what they're saying is we don't want you to focus on black lives matter or reparations, but we do like -- we would like you very much, please, to do studies on black conservatism. that feels like a tell to me. does it to you? >> i mean, the hypocrisy that the contradictions are obvious. if it was up to me, we would learn about all of the different intellectual traditions within african-american history and we wouldn't certainly be eradicating or putting to the side black feminism is among the richest intellectual traditions. and bringing to the fore black conservatism which from my standpoint hasn't actually provided as much intellectual direction, particularly for african-americans more broadly, as black feminism. but, it goes to show that this is not about education. this is about politics. whether you're talking about desantis or even the college

board. >> well, you know, there is black conservatism that one could read about in history that had an impact. i'm writing a book about medgar evers. african-americans complicit with the idea of segregation and participated in the mississippi sovereignty commission, spying on behalf of the mississippi sovereignty commission. i doubt that would be in the sections of black conservatism because it feels like the college board is complying with the idea that the desantis's of the world want to make more conservatives, not make students smarter. >> and i think that's the tragedy of this. i mean, you know, the college board prides its a.p. courses on seeking to educate and provoke thinking and critical thinking and prepare our students for

college. and in college, when they come to college, they're going to read about black feminism. they have to learn about black queer theory. they have to learn about african-american history. they have to learn about history. and this a.p. course isn't truly preparing them for understanding black lives matter, i mean, two years ago, three years ago black lives matter was critical in generating the most -- the largest protest -- series of demonstrations in american history and that shouldn't be part of an a.p. african-american studies course? i mean, don't get me started. >> well, they'll learn about it if they go to college in a blue state. because desantis, et cetera, are not done. they also want to outlaw this teaching in colleges and control those professors and that reading -- those reading lists as well. ibram kendi, thank you for being

i see the world showing him love and fighting for his justice. but all i want is my baby brother back. >> i'm just trying to go home. don't i deserve to feel safe? batons, badges, boots, bright lights against my face. >> what's done in the dark will always come to the light. and the light of day is justice for tyre. >> that was tyre nichols family at his funeral in memphis today. it will be remembered along with the pantheon of civil rights funerals which are as much about the movement as they are about

the individual. these funerals are a public forum for black americans to collectively grieve and to continue to push for change. it goes back to the 1963 funeral for the four little girls killed in the birmingham church bombing where dr. martin luther king jr. condemned white supremacy and called for substituting courage for caution. as well as his 1965 eulogy for jimmy lee jackson killed by an alabama state trooper during a civil rights protest. emphasized the need to fight against the system that led that police officer to kill him. the reverend al sharpton has now assumed that leadership role. eulogizing george floyd and others and now tyre nichols today. and reverend sharpton delivered a message to the black officers who killed nichols. >> you didn't get on the police department by yourself. the police chief didn't get there by herself.

people had to march and go to jail and some lost their lives to open the doors for you. how dare you act like that sacrifice was for nothing. >> joining me now is reverend earl fisher, senior pastor of the church in memphis. russell wiggington, president of the national civil rights museum. mr. wiggington, i do want to start with you, because that context i think is important. because these funerals are not private affairs. they go into the context of the jimmy lee jacksons and those four little girls. can you talk about why that is so important for the african-american community and for the civil rights movement? >> absolutely. you showed the funeral in birmingham of the church bombing. it's 60 years since that in 2023. and we're still having these

kinds of conversations, these kinds of gut-wrenching moments in our community. and the national civil rights museum, we try to lift up all of these stories for the world to see, to learn from, to guide us and to provide us a glimpse into our history that is so important for us to understand if we are going to remedy these acts of horror moving forward. >> absolutely. and let me play a little bit of vice president kamala harris. the context for this is we got the program, reverend fisher, beforehand. she was not on it as a speaker. she was as an attendee. as a pastor will do, my brother, reverend sharpton, called her to the podium and asked her to speak. and she spoke. she spoke. here she is. >> mothers around the world when their babies are born, pray to

god when they hold that child that that body and that life will be safe. for the rest of his life. and with this i will say, this violent act was not in pursuit of public safety. because one must ask was not it in the interest of keeping the public safe that tyre nichols would be with us here today. >> that is the most powerful black woman in the history of the united states, reverend fisher. what did it mean to the community in memphis that she was there and did that today? >> well, thank you, joy, for having me. i think her presence was powerful. i think her words were provocative and true. and beyond that, i think what people in the city, especially activists and organizers and people pushing this agenda

forward for the last several years even before we got to this point, we can appreciate people who endorse these ideas but now we need people who enforce these ideas. that means making sure that we have the proper type of infrastructure insofar as not just who is in office and people who are elected and people who are important and not just skin color but psychology to make sure they leverage their authority in ways that make our communities more equitable. >> the vice president called for the george floyd act to be passed and said that the president will sign it. it just needs to be passed. and mr. wiggington, i do want to add that some of the other people who were there were people who have gone through this pain themselves. boatham john's sister, eric garner's mom, many people have come to know, tamika palmer, george floyd's brother was there. what did it mean to have that collection of people who have grieved in this exact same way

be a part of this, symbolically what did that mean? >> as reverend fisher said, it was a powerful moment. it was too many people, quite frankly, that they had to be there. and i was reminded of april 4th and beyond of 1968, where on the balcony at the lorraine motel we lost the most transformative leader of the 20th century in reverend dr. martin luther king. and our city had to endure that. and we've been living with that legacy for 55 years now. but i have to tell you, because of pastor fisher and so many others, the way this community has rallied and come together, we're in the process of healing. but justice must be attained. and this community has the resolve to make sure that that happens. we have grieved for a long time in this city following the

assassination of dr. king. and now here we are today, february the 1st, lifting up the legacy of tyre nichols and his family who has been so brave and so resolute in a peaceful solution and justice for their son. >> and reverend fisher, talk about that justice looks like. every time we have one of these cases people go, okay, this is it. people -- they're never going to let this happen again. then it happens again and again and again and again. what does justice look like for the folks in memphis? >> so, it's complicated because it takes a comprehensive approach to it. i think sometimes we get stuck on the flash points. so we do push in certain areas but maybe not on all the proper buttons at the same time. so there are several demands that activists and organizers have made on behalf of the family. some of what it looks like is stop pretextual traffic stops. stop predictive policing.

and back to my first point, enforce some of the -- you claim to endorse and claim to be on the side of us. there's a lot of things in terms of comprehensive approaches. i'll say this lastly, i've seen too often, sister joy, people put too much pressure to activists for a solution. if the people we appointed, elected if they did their job, we wouldn't have to come with so many creative ways to raise the consciousness. again, comprehensive solutions to this. we know it's not overnight. we have to keep pushing as we have been pushing so every time we do that we're doing that to honor tyre and the life of everybody else represented there today. >> not just because you're a pastor, you'll get amen. thank you. still ahead, congresswoman omar will join us as the republicans

try to the retribution agenda shifts into high gear. we'll be right back. a shifts into high gear. we'll beig rht back. - [female narrator] five billion people lack access to safe surgery. thousands of children are suffering and dying from treatable causes. for 40 years, mercy ships has deployed floating hospitals to provide the free surgeries these children need. join us. together, we can give children the hope and healing they never thought possible. it's a mission powered by love, made possible by you. give today. lomita feed is 101 years old this year and counting. i'm bill lockwood, current caretaker and owner. when covid hit, we had some challenges like a lot of businesses did. i heard about the payroll tax refund, it allowed us to keep the amount of people that we needed and the people that have been here taking care of us. see if your business may qualify.

♪♪ house republicans in their raiser thin new majority are expected to vote tomorrow to remove democratic congress woman ilhan omar from the foreign affairs committee. if successful, it would make her the third democratic house member to lose a committee assignment. congressman adam schiff and eric

swalwell were blocked there house intelligence last week. republicans claim as their reason some specific remarks that congresswoman omar made in the past in criticizing israel, remarks she apologized for. but the real reason is simply vengeance by kevin mccarthy against democrats on behalf of the extreme wing of his party to which mccarthy is entirely beholden. revenge against democrats for stripping marjorie taylor greene and paul gosar of their committee assignments back in 2021. but let's be clear, the reason why a majority in congress including some republicans voted to remove gosar and greene was for threatening violence against democrats, not only did greene spread dangerous and racist qanon conspiracies, but on social media, she endorsed executing top democrats while also suggesting that the sandy hook and parkland school shootings were staged. gosar was expelled months later for posting an anime video depicting him killing

congresswoman alexandria cortez and attacking president biden. neither publicly apologized nor need they apparently because they, and not the supposed speaker, are now this charge. and joining me now is democratic congresswoman ilhan omar of minnesota. i did remark when you came in, you are surprisingly nonplussed but what is happening. what do you make of this revenge tactic by kevin mccarthy? >> yeah. they've been on a vengeance tour. and, you know, they've been very clear last night when the rules debate was happening in the rules committee, you did this and we're going to do it without context. it's very blatantly clear when we removed those two from their committees in the last cycle, it was because they threatened violence against members of congress. and it had nothing to do about their work on committees. it had nothing to do about

opinions that they might have on policy. and what they have done now is deny eric swalwell and adam schiff their committees because they disagreed in the way in which they let the impeachments against trump, so this is extracting revenge for trump, their master. and certainly, i've been a target for them from the beginning as you remember mccarthy himself made the promise before i even got sworn in back in 2019, donald trump came in to my state in 2016 when i was running for the minnesota house and said, somalis are infiltrating our -- your state and our country. you remember marjorie taylor greene coming to congress in 2019 before she was a member of congress and saying that muslims should not be in congress. and oddly for somebody who

believes in the constitution didn't actually know that i had a constitutional right along with rashida tlaib to get sworn in whatever i chose because we have freedom of religion in this country. and so we know what this is about. this is about saying this particular member of congress is not allowed to have a voice on the foreign affairs committee. >> yeah. >> this particular member of congress is someone that we don't think is appropriate in voicing. and that comes back to the fact that they don't actually think muslims or, you know, refugees or immigrants in this country can appropriately criticize u.s. policy, can appropriately criticize, you know, policies of other countries. and to me, that is against my first amendment rights. it is against what our constitution allows.

it's against the principles we all believe as americans, about the freedom to debate and engage in dissent. and you have to remember the foreign affairs committee really isn't about, you know, rubber stamping whatever the foreign policy of whatever administration is. it's about oversight. it's about critique. it's about advancing a better policy forward. and it certainly is about making sure that the values that we say to be true as a country are carried out through our foreign policy and they don't remain a myth. and these people don't believe in that kind of accountability being necessary when it comes to our country and others. >> by the way, just you said you mentioned context. let me put up this picture.

this is marjorie taylor greene posting on her facebook this, right? you also have bobert, who is right now justifying wanting to have loaded weapons on the floor of the house. with those kinds of people who have threatened you, who have threatened your colleagues, threatened other democrats, they want to carry guns on the floor. and yet they're saying you shouldn't be on the foreign affairs committee. what do you make of that? >> yeah. and i think the most absurd part of this whole argument is somehow that you have to be an objective decision maker. that is the most ridiculous test for any member of congress. you know, we famously say vote your district. >> right. >> so your perspective, the perspective of your constituents, their insight, all of that is supposed to be injected into the decision-making process. >> right. >> and so to have that

requirement of me and not to make that requirement of anyone else, i mean, if you think about somebody like marjorie taylor greene being on homeland security, this is someone who believed 9/11 was an inside job. someone who doesn't believe in allowing muslims, how is she supposed to carry out the objectives of the patriot act. >> and you have somebody who essentially has threatened you, threatened other members of the squad now potentially carrying guns on the floor. that's terrifying. >> sadly, imagine someone like her overseeing oversight on the patriot act which she feels about muslims. it's insane. >> unfortunately we have to imagine it. thank you. thank you very much. >> thank you very having me. >> stay safe. up next, wisconsin lawmaker says the quiet part real loud as republicans ramp up voter suppression efforts ahead of the next election. we're back after this. paradontax blood when you brush could lead to worse over time. help stop the clock on gum disease now. parodontax toothpaste...

it's what sanctuary could look like... feel like... sound like... even smell like. more on that soon. ♪ ♪ the best part? the prequel is pretty sweet too. ♪ ♪ on the "reid out" we talk a lot about republicans and their attempts to suppress the vote. they've waved away those accusations by saying no, no, no, we're just making it easier to vote and harder to cheat. well now we know that really isn't true because a republican member of wisconsin's bipartisan elections commission told us so. commissioner robert spindell sent an email to fellow republicans from the fourth congressional district, a district that includes milwaukee. reporting how they successfully

suppressed the black and brown vote in that city. here is what spindell, who just so happens to be white, wrote. the 4th congressional district republican party working very closely with the republican party of wisconsin and the republican national committee, can be especially proud of the city of milwaukee. 80% dem vote. casting 37,000 less votes than cast in the 2018 election with major reduction happening in the overwhelming black and hispanic areas. it didn't end there. no. he goes on to say, this great and important decrease in democrat votes in the city is part of a well-thought out, multi-facetted plan. what was the plan, you ask? spindell laid that out, too. included biting black radio negative commercials. and get this, a substantial and very effective republican coordinated election integrity program resulting with lots of republican paid election judges.

among other things. we're learning about this because a group known as urban milwaukee got a copy of the email. spindell told the associated press he wasn't bragging about voter suppression. he was detailing positive steps republicans took to counter democrats. that guy, robert spindell also served as a fake wisconsin elector for donald trump. and is a defendant in three separate pending lawsuits. because voter suppression under the guise of election integrity is the name of the game for the republican party. you could say it's doctrine since they've been doing since dallas and dynasty were hit shows on tv. in fact, in 198 the republican national committee was ordered by a court to stop suppressing black votes. lucky for them that court order ended in 2018. effectively green lighting them to reboot the suppression machine. boy are they leaning into that today. in another leaked report, because i guess republicans just

love to lay out their plans to end democracy, scooby doo villain style, "the washington post" is reporting that the rnc wants to ramp up election integrity activity, including state-level officers and aggressive training for election monitors. here is the kicker, that report was prepared by rnc staffers including one who also helped the trump campaign convene alternate sets of fake electors. the republican party, bringing you election integrity one election fraudster at a time. and now, shifting gears on the first day of black history month -- >> tucker carlson, the grown dude with the bangs.

in place that could do this -- reek this kind of havoc unsupervised was a deliberate thing. that's indicative of a system. it's not by happenstance those men were in the community that had little to no voices. so i don't -- i think that it's noti as simple as saying the color of the skin. what jay con, you don't have to be white to serve white supremacy. >> there have always been some who are willing to do hit. let's talk a little bit about -- we have been talking about histories and the suppression of history during the show today. and you know, to me i think what the college board did in giving in to the political demands of the right who want a sanitized black history or no black history at all i think was cowardice. you can only describe as ib capitulation. >> i think it is more retro. men at one point enslaved people were denied the right to learn. you couldn't learn.

now we're denied -- it's illegal for us to learn about enslaved people. more than anything else, the reason people wantn to smother history is because they wantwa repeat it. and i don't think it's -- this is by happenstance. it's not any accident. you 's think this is an think ts accident a. it's funny because people get mad, like people get mad the little mermaid was black. but this brown to be somebody like down. they're a nigeria lady with a boot down there. crowd get us here. braided [laughter] we have seen these things before. there are some nuances, but ultimately, the the idea, the thing that republicans cease to be firmly interested in is to control women's bodies and black peoples histories. and they have, and they can run on that. they have been doing pretty well governing of it. >> you know what's ironic about

the way that republicans govern is that, as you said, they won't complete control of women. they want control the black history. but they also still want to be lauded. they want to pretend that they want to black panther be speaker of the house. he gets 20 votes and then he doesn't even get a gavel, so they really didn't want that guy to be speaker of the house. they still want to be treated as if the racism isn't there. >> here's the thing. racism in america, and what is new about this, the black people being slain in the public view is not new. people being denied, giant denying black people is not new. if you look at people who do horrible things and still want to be lauded, you don't have to look much further than the national anthem. scrape three stanzas off and it supposed to be pristine. but with three stands down they were talking about killing black people. we have this obsession, the

problem with american history is we can't keep lying to ourselves. >> amen. >> ultimately there will be a reckoning. people would decide to either understand that this is about not even just my writer your rates. this is about the rights of women to do what they want and black people to know their history and people to be treated in a certain way. it's about freedom, if we're gonna categorize it is anything. >> amen. thank you very much. we'll be watching you on the daily show all week. thank you, my friend. much created. >> i'm not paying again. dinners on your next. i'm >> okay, fine. out. before we go, i'm excited to announce on the rideau blog, like history uncensored is a series in which jon jones highlight black raiders when incurred targeted by gop, by republican bands. up next, bell hooks. scan the qr could on your screen and stay tuned all night long all month long for
