10:35 pm
a symbol for many of our flawed justice system do you personally have any faith left in a spare and free justice system described in your work the prison system the united states as the war on the poor are prisons being built to get rid of the broken the homeless do you have any space left in that system at all considering you are obviously so much part of part of it and your life has been so much but. when i was a teenager and i was in the black at a party i remember going to downtown manhattan and protesting against the. political imprisonment and incarceration and the threats facing angela y. davis. and i remember you know of course like many other pastors reaching for works and. and. finding when she attacked the prism system she talked about the perhaps two hundred fifty thousand or three hundred
10:36 pm
thousand people in prisons all throughout the united states. not just the problems that need to be dealt with but. a crisis situation better bordered on fascism well fast forward thirty forty years into the present there are more than three hundred thousand prisoners in california alone one state out of fifty the imprisonment in california notice i'm not talking about united states but in california alone exceeds that of france of belgium of england and perhaps you could name four five of the countries combined so we could not perceive back then what it would become and. you know so it's it's monstrous when you really look at what's happening there you can literally talk about millions of people being part of that is incarcerated by the prison industrial complex today men women
10:37 pm
and children and that level of mass incarceration really mass repression have an immense impact and affect our community not just among families but in a social and communal consciousness way and the enculturation of fear among generations so it's at a level at that that many of us could not even fathom dream of today you know i can't help but wonder you talk about so many important social and economic issues in your work. do you have a dream today if you could be one of those aspects genes which one would you pick what you wish you could see happen in the united there's never one thing i mean it's a sexy question and i understand it and i will address it with the point is because the system is a system of interconnectedness and because one part of the system impacts the other part of the system and because what antonio crunchy called too many of the
10:38 pm
ideological system impacts of the parts of the system you can't change one thing that will impact all things i think if anything that's one of the lessons of the lighting six because the civil rights movement was talk about integration and this and that and changing the schools and point of fact if you look at the vast majority of working class and poor black kids in american schools today. they lose they live and spend their hours and days in a system profoundly as segregated as that of their grandparents but it's not segregated by race or segregated by race and class formally class which in fact race the great jonathan consul who was research an american education for forty years has written in one of his most recent books that the american educational system is an apartheid system i know from my personal interaction with my own
10:39 pm
family you know talking to my wife and my kids and even to grandkids that the schools that my grandchildren go to worst in the schools i went to when i was in my mind for years and in my teenage years that's a condemnation of the system because former generations only concentrated on one thing or one side of the problem the problems really got worse and worse and worse and while there is a lot of rhetoric about schools. american schools are a tragedy that's the only thing they can be called but i was i would rephrase that american schools and many of the black and latino communities are not a tragedy they are a crime were monitored by the f.b.i. at the age of fourteen and i want to ask you now was laws such as the being passed in the united states where people are watched a teen and can be held that's become easier than ever do you think big rather than

the patiently shown his face in this country at this point but let's look at it this way if you look back at the cointelpro era what is clear is that the f.b.i. . and their leaders and their agents knew that everything they did was illegal and the agents were taught and trained how to break into places how to do what they called black bag jobs and that kind of stuff how to commit crimes but this is what they were also to. do with if you better get caught because if you get caught you're going to jail it will act like we are under oath has happened in the last twenty or thirty years will not just be. but the so-called patriot act has made everything that was illegal back in the nine hundred sixty s. and nine hundred fifty s. and nine hundred seventy s. . they legalized legalized they legalized the very things that f.b.i. agents and administrators knew was criminal back then that means they can look at
