was a lot of. black people would primarily live in the south because of slavery in the south was a rule. oh there's a good way about. world war two years in a series of transformations that radically changing nature of black history in this country blacks for the first time are invited and now asked to work in america's history all arsenal for democracy building those tanks building those planes building those ships. nine hundred forty s. one nine hundred seventy s. you see over four million african-americans leave the south and ways they have never never heard the phrase live and for new york head first and for los angeles.

for the first time they were integrated into the american worker economy they were earning enough to be lower middle class homeowners in l.a. and to establish if not exactly a very close similarity to the american dream. play . play. play. play. play play. play.

i've. a. no way did not have the overt history with racism in one hand of the south there were no laws a 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 that kept 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 home 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 early fifty's essentially kept blacks circumscribed in a very narrow portion of the l.a. county rich. white 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 philly residents responded by transforming there are a lot of territory into a thriving cultural hub its central avenue developing into a sort of west. west coast best jazz clubs dozens of black businesses lining the 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 will want to spend. time economy adapt itself to lead automotive industry major corporations like g.m. chrysler ford good you and firestone all established in fact in south los angeles. and we're going to. factory you got benefits you get 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 trajectory 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 high skilled high wage high training on one very low skilled sweatshop labor another. class find their skills don't fit into either those demands. they don't have the education or the skill or the training because of historic discrimination to work in aerospace. on 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. not

talking about people who are at the rear 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 locks high schools are graduating functional illiterates. some black people have got businesses some professionals have got 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 surviving. on.

a. good thing. let me ask you who are pushing yeah. this is. odd.

about a big one all night and all of that. all not. all down. to the meaning. of them is going to be going to have a. headache it's really going to be a bit of. a refugee isn't going to call it that we displace like most. of the accomplished line over the it might not be acceptable in britain however somewhat occurs every two or three hours among communities. in the south central community basically which is in p.p.o. broken down businesses if you have any businesses. take a walk downtown baltimore french out of vermont and you tell me the opportunities that are available low income housing five or six churches gang violence crack the

. introduction of crack cocaine onto the streets of l.a. in one thousand one proved to be a major tipping point for an already vulnerable to. cocaine came a toy it broke up a lot of you know a lot of people just thought crack was the way out you know what are you. thing but they keep you know what i'm saying that will broke a lot of homes that if that crack would never came part is to have nice the homes and nice to the families you know but when i came there like tow everything before but let me ask you into juba conventional trial ilog dysfunctional ass family in the south of. boston t.r.u. is ninety three i was raised out of that he buys to be a man i take care my mom is to. boss around my low but this is sad so i'm going to buy for little brothers and sisters do what you don't. look at me.

i grew up in a home where my mother worked two jobs but had three. so you can imagine we were on 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 then just like the opposite way so i went to gangs because i didn't come out last night i'm thinking they had some hand getting your books and stayed on but if everybody had been in 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. part of the most part the absence of a male figure father. in the home. when there is no male influence. as a male going from. then everything is going to be out of whack the people told me told me wrong tell me how to be whole tell me all. you want is not be a man but his fight to me by somebody or those who somebody does a way to tell me being a man. have a so coach over a young black man attending to the men back killing each other. about standing up

in a brothel amana. but they're 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 twenty eight percent african-american men more than one in four 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 ok. coming to the fifth place finish up in the system in two thousand and seven four years governor announced plans to spend seven point four billion dollars to build forty thousand new prison. terminator to. 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 the new deal right here the band plays here you would think of like. a little kid. to put. you in the sense of. what this means is we are breaking even the possibility of the big intact families with a mother and a father raising a child together. because we are sending the men off to prison

in unprecedented raids usually for nonviolent offenses that. would. be. 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 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 at. this is my wife a woman a stew a bomb he 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 could help. i'll be met because she's paying the bills and i can bet 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 writers.

more news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china corporations are on the day . the worst year for those paying only white house to have a day radio guy and caught a veil minestrone click off it i want you to watch quote for about fifteen years you've never seen anything like this i'm cold.
