no way did the overt history with racism in one head of the south there were no laws that said blacks had to ride on 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 desirable. sometimes not desirable men latino sometimes not desirable men due sometimes not disarmament
5:44 am
asian but it always meant black and so those racially restrictive covenants which didn't disappear until the late forty's early fifty's essentially kept blacks circumscribed in a very narrow portion of the l.a. county. 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 . south l.a. residents responded by transforming their a lot of territory to a thriving cultural hub in central avenue developing into a sort of harlem 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 poorest blacks live essentially side by side.

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 skill high wage high training on one very low skill. shop labor and other. blacks find their skills don't fit into either those demands. they don't have the education for the skill or the training because of historic discrimination to work in aerospace. on other hand they don't feel the 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 have over here to talk about people with jobs if you have
5:47 am
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 in actuality it when it reverse the children over time began to
5:48 am
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 lugs high schools are graduating functional illiterates. some black people have got businesses some professionals have gotten 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 survived.

5:51 am
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 and it broke up a lot of you know a lot of people just the crack was the way out you know what i even think of what they keep you know what i'm saying that will broke a lot of homes that if that crack would never came party still have nice the homes and nice the families you know but when i came in like tow everything before but let me ask you into juba conventional childhood. dysfunctional ass family in the south i. see out here is ninety three i was raised out of that he. had to be a man i take care my mom may see the mosque in my low but this is sad. i'm going to buy for a little brother and sister do what you don't. look at me. i
5:52 am
grew up in a home where my mother worked two jobs but had three rules so you can imagine we were on supervised sold us a business outside of the home. she was too busy making the. living. then to love. even though she tried and did the best that she could it was not a. lot of black kids in a neighborhood just not the opposite way so i went to gangs was nothing i didn't come out not they had something at getting your books they stayed on a plane if everybody if a lot of things would have been different but that wasn't the case.

5:54 am
misguided. now days the fathers or the black men my age are either dead or 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 details are sent to prison in the last. week of engaged in this country and an absolutely historically unprecedented experiment in the past and present. we now know of and imprisonment plague that is six to seven times higher than it has ever been before and i have. to come and take

5:56 am
would. be. even with time served so many of those determined to start a new life find little freedom in their release. go to get a job working for xerox sent an application and they found out. i lost my job i used to be jealous somehow why i'm going to work at. this is my wife on a stupid balmy 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 convey to 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 lives.
