more news today violence has once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada after. the giant corporations are old today.

no way did not have the overt history with racism in one head of the south there were no laws that said blacks had to ride in one part of the bus for no laws that blacks had to be in certain schools there were however extremely exclusive web of racially restrictive housing evidence except blacks in particular areas and out of other areas these covenants mandated the sale of real estate along racial lines in

an effort to keep traditionally white neighborhoods free non desirable homeowners sometimes not desirable men latino sometimes not desirable men do sometimes not disarmament asian but it always meant black and so those racially restrictive covenants which didn't disappear into the late forty's and early fifty's essentially kept blacks circumscribed in a very narrow portion of the l.a. county region. like people were forced to live on top of each other because it just wasn't possible to live where you chose even though you might have been able to afford it. in. south l.a. residents responded by transforming there are a lot of territory into a thriving cultural hub and central avenue developing into a sort of harlem west. west coast best jazz clubs dozens of black businesses lime street people dressed in their sunday best on the

weekends a period during which the most affluent and the forest blacks live essentially side by side. and then with well more to spend. time economy adapted itself to a lean automotive industry with major corporations like g.m. chrysler ford good you and firestone all establishing factories in south los angeles. and we're going to. factory you got the benefits you got my house you could buy a car you could raise a family you could live a working class or lower middle class life. it was a moment of unprecedented black prosperity in which the two jacks three of black america was on the rise people were getting jobs were buying homes were buying cars sending their kids to colleges it was a moment of real optimism. in

the late one nine hundred fifty s. you begin to get the first. wave of what came to be called the industrialization. the american economy is changing we're moving from one of those really cami to an economy based on service based on information rooted in technology that is it's. training on one very low skilled sweatshop labor and other. blacks find that their skills don't fit into those demands. they don't have the education or the skill or the training because of historic discrimination to work in aerospace. on the other hand they don't feel any desire or need to go into the low skilled service sector jobs like hotel cleaning like sweatshop work downtown l.a.

because they don't perceive that as jobs that american citizens should have. and not talking about people where arrears we're talking about people with jobs if you have a job you are dependent on that job so when that factory closes you are in essence asked out. by the late sixty's you see those plants beginning to disappear when they disappear there is virtually nothing left in their wake. and so it leaves a gaping hole in the economy of the region. with consequences that are just enormous. generationally in america is supposed to be about the american dream people are

supposed to move up as opposed to elevate. we're talking about a situation where an actuality it whenever reverse the children over time began to do worse than their parents. in one nine hundred seventy five the los angeles times reporters into the streets to assist progress in the city's black communities ten years after the watts rebellion. the fearful lived behind protective bars and double logs high schools are graduating functional illiterates. some black people have got businesses some professionals have gotten into significant jobs but if you talk about the masses of that guy who was in trouble in one thousand and sixty five it is more difficult now. the black in the ghetto gold survival. was a. good

thing. let me ask you the real question yes. this. was.

about a big one all night and all of that. all not. going to. make. it to the meaning. of them is going to be given to. hurricane katrina that i have been going to. a refugee isn't going to call that we displace like a moat. and helicopters flying over the it might not be acceptable in britain but however some that occurs every two or three hours among communities. in the south into a community basically which is in peel broken down business if you have any business and. take a walk down the boulevard from the french out of our money and you tell me the

opportunities are available low income housing five or six churches gang violence crack up the. introduction of crack cocaine onto the streets of l.a. in one nine hundred eighty one proved to be a major tipping point for an already vulnerable to. cocaine came a toy it broke up a lot of jobs you know a lot of people just thought crack was the way out you know what are you. think of what they keep you know what i'm saying that will broke a lot of homes up if that crack would never came probably still have nice the homes and nice live families you know but when i came there like tow everything before but let me ask you when did you have a conventional child. dysfunctional as families in the south of us. see out here their daughters ninety three i was raised out of that he. had to be a man a modern take care my mom is too. far from my low but this is said. i knew if

i should little brothers and sisters do what you don't. let us go out alone look at me. i grew up in a home where my mother worked two jobs but had three people so you can imagine we were supervised sold up all my supervision outside of the home. she was too busy making a living. then to love me. even though she tried and did the best that she could it was not a. lot of black youth in the neighborhood just not the opposite way so i went to gangs without fighting come out not a thing they had some hand getting your books then stayed on but if everybody did

a lot of things would have been different but that wasn't the case. the common thread throughout all of these conversations throughout our communities things to be. thought of most part the absence of a father male figure father. in the home. to come up in a home when there is no male influence. on them from. then everything is going to be out of whack the people that told me told me wrong coming out of the hall. it's been tough he wants he's not be a man but his fight to me by somebody or goes to somebody does a way to tell me you've been a man. you have

a soap culture of a young black man but tending to the men back killing each other. about standing up in a brothel amana. but there misguided . now days the fathers are the black men my age are the day and i'm in jail and one of the problems we have is. if they're going to try to arrest a problem that means they're putting all the black men in jail. in two thousand and three bureau of justice report reveals the twenty eight percent african-american men more than one in four will be jailed or sent to prison in the last. week of engaged in this country and an absolutely historically unprecedented experiment in the past in prison. we now have and

imprisonment plague that is six to seven times higher than it has ever been before in our history it's awful cold. coming to the fifth place finish up anything in two thousand and seven four years governor announced plans to spend seven point four billion dollars to build forty thousand new prison. with a terminator. look at the population of the people in the penitentiary particularly from the one nine hundred eighty s. going forward. black men are disproportionately represented that's the new deal right here the band plays. with niggers like. a little kid. you. can assess. what this means is we are breaking even the possibility of there will be intact families with a mother and a father raising a child together. because we are sending the men off to prison with

unprecedented rapes usually for nonviolent offenses that. would. even with time served so many of those determined to start a new life find little freedom in their lives. go to get a job i'm working for xerox sent an application and they found out i was on parole and i lost my job i used to be jealous somehow i have going to work it. this is my wife a woman a stood by me grew up with me bill me absolute kids and she would go out thousand go to work and i would be mad at her because she could go to work and i couldn't help. i'll be mad because she's paying the bills and i can baby you there's never no cycle to get us out of this it's just a cycle to get us back into so of course people are going to behave in ways that

are anti-social if we don't let them behave in pro-social rights. that. i'm. not in the end of the speech. she gave.

her. and i. wish. her luck so good to. see the monument and i'm. heading. out on out by no means a little. more news today violence has once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been feeling from the streets of canada. giant corporations are all day.
