that really constrains your lives. chances people die on average. 15 years old, you born into generational poverty. it's a, it's a fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. me the the, the me greetings and salutations. if you do a quick google search, go to starbucks shop online or even in person, or you just scour social media, you'll see images of rainbow. i mean demick flag of colors that represents l g b t q. pride. after all, june is pride, month in america,

with the private sector clamoring to show it support politicians and other influences trying to our ally one another. you think the us was a haven of l g b t q, love, and support. and you couldn't be further from the truth. trans women and girls are facing heightened scrutiny and deliberate attacks. look no further than the sunshine state of florida. republican governor rhonda santas find a law state ban on transgender girls competing in sports at the high school and college level. trans women continue to be murdered at high rates. rarely do their live, make a blip in the new cycle. and sadly, for too many people believed they deserve to die, because in their mind, trans women tricked their male lovers. trans women, particularly those of color, just don't seem to matter. 2020 brought the national consciousness to colbert 19, but it failed to acknowledge that 2020 was historically the deadliest year for the

trans community. and 2021 is proving even worse. and l g b t advocacy, group allies and corporations feel failed to acknowledge the unique, oppressive, and discriminatory practices targeted a double minority people of color who dare to love outside traditional norms. when advocate had this to say on twitter every year, people attempt to erase black queer trans and non binary people from pride history . every year, people tried to make pride more respect to just know that when you do this, you're intentionally ignoring the black and latin. next people who pushed us to be bolder. president biden issued an official proclamation recognizing pride month while advocating for l. g. b t equality and managing states that target trains use bind, quote, for all of our progress, there are many states in which l g, b, t, q plus individual, still lack protection for fundamental rights and dignity in hospitals. schools,

public comment, public accommodations and other spaces. but black and latin ex l g b t. community members are being threatened and murdered proclamations. they just don't go far enough. it's time we start watching the hawks. if you want to know what's going on a city and you want to rush, let me show you what you see. the rise of the roy, throw strike, math grade, ha, leave them a deceptive. manipulate so much put these weapons. so hope we know you're welcome. everybody to watching the hawk. i'm myisha cross tyrell is on vacation. joining me now is adjunct professor of law at georgetown university law center, who just happens to teach l g b t q health law and policy press. mitchum. welcome back crescent dave. you so much

. and lisa, grab me. well, preston, as you know, i quoted your tweet because it gets to the core pride month, but also the ratio of black and latino community members from it. why did this continue to happen? and what will it take for the voices of the l g. b t. community members of color to finally get there? do whenever we don't talk about history enough, where doomed to repeat it. one of the very reasons why i always talk about pride being a riot in pride in an action against violence is because if we don't ground that in our true history of what the private movement have meant for so many black and brown, we are fans and by new people, we're going to forget that hit through all the time. you know, the storm already happened in 1969. and it actually was more than one day with a few days where, you know, black trans women, spammed and that sort of color were tired of files. they were tired of police. raid may finally spot back. people like marcia p johnston, still be able, rivera, stormy day, day or night. we have so much history. in the black and brown,

we're trans banners in the back continue to be a race. and it's time for the stop. all good points and pressing as you know, we can't talk about pride month this month without acknowledging the ongoing attacks against the l g b, l, g, b, p community specifically trans women and girls. we just saw governor to fainter find to build, to prevent them from participating in sports. we know that black and latino trans will continue to be murdered in their lives, in without even much of an investigation or acknowledgement that they even existed after the parade cease after this month. it's over. what is the next frontier for the pride movement? the less frontier for the primary way is to really get back to the history of who we are with and it doesn't excuse me that over the past year we've been, you know, having resurgence of black lives matter. and at the same time here before celebrating pride, right? we'd be, you know, corporations and other entities celebrating the rainbow and everything that, that mean. but they actually are, you know, very point that this is more than a rainbow. this is more than corporation. this is community organizing is

a community activism, and we're really going to have a conversation about what it means to now be whatever, whatever the normal looks like for after cobit right, people are actually not in the camp this year on like last year to celebrate with each other and so what that means we need to really get back to the room. so the next step is to really continue to wrap up the drumbeats. a guy. this is not just about celebration, of course it's about celebration, but celebration for who. right. and so we're talking about when we're talking about one official, when you look at places like new york, that actually decided to not have to leave at their pride this year. we are really starting to have an understanding of that. there should be no point that what fried ultimately was rhythm resist. it was activism. it was the intersections of police violence of racism, pulled up. we are full of transit antagonism, athens be in florida and around the country. and so yeah, the next step is for people to really continue to talk about the ad,

the initial and you put that so eloquently, i was going to mention what was going on with the, with the police not being able to march alongside as they typically done per year with, with during the prize parade and i think that you, you definitely took that one away with a perfect explanation. president biden recently signed a proclamation recognizing pride month and has rebuked states that are held on discriminate against trans women in girls, specifically. but the kind of thing, the bit performative because we haven't really seen legislation that stop a lot of the movement is there more that can be done. and what would you like to see from the bio white house? for sure. so from the binding white house, i think it is a small dep, right camera proclamation. we certainly didn't see that in the 1st couple of years of the trunk administration. in fact, it was an outright rejection. even though this is the friendliest president of the community. and so you know, but i want to be clear. what i didn't did was a small that is nowhere near enough. you know, we need actual workplace protection for people in the united states. it is

technically legal for many places to discriminate. again, one of the factual orientation and gender identity because we don't have logged like the employment non discrimination act. and though you know, that will come out of congress in the binding character ministration, specifically, they can pers, congress make sure that we have been workplace profession. they need to actively against what it means to create. finally, in violent for l, we keep the people they need to ensure the actual how be and how the security problem. so again, it's more than just, you know, it's more than just butterfly is more than just picked up being celebratory. active, important, we should celebrate. we've come far and there are many people who have not come far and that is because of the systematic discrimination that continue to appear. and so we're going to need action. and with only a few seconds left, we know that there are celebrities who have shrouded themselves in i'm trying to elevate the l g b t community and those who have l g

b t children. i'm thinking of dwayne wade, whose daughter, dia, is still getting a lot of heat on social media from members of the black community who don't necessarily view him as a good parent because he is accepting of a child who transition. what are, what is your message for parents who may be going through the same thing, or even those young people who, even if their parents are supporting them, they're not getting that same level of support from outside community. of course we need parents by gabrielle union and dwayne lane, the thieves, nyah, grow up in such a beautiful way. she's confident she felt for sure. we need to make sure that they have support systems and family networks in community. and that is the only way we'll be young. we're trans, binary people thrive. you know, we know that organizations like a cover project to so much work on, on providing resources for people who may be experiencing. and that's what happens when you don't have a way to make sure that he was detected or nurtured in their level. thanks so much

for joining us. press then, and i hope to see you again, sharing that wonderful wisdom for our audience. thank you so much. mental health is a touchy and often unspoken topic in america and abroad. far too many people stigmatize mental illness and communities, dismiss serious mental health issues on a daily basis. but glimmer of hope are often seen the bravery of individuals who do decide to bring their struggles out of the shadows. that hope was met with criticism, racism, and a healthy dose of ignorance. in the case of tennis, are they only a thought that a sucker made headlines this week she announced her withdrawal from the french open osaka. the number 2 ranked women's tennis player in the world announced her withdraw on sunday. after being fined $15000.00 for opting out of speaking to media after her 1st round match, osaka took the courageous wrapped in, revealing that she suffered from long about depression since her 1st grand slam

when in 2018. though sponsored nike came out with bull for would it support pro soccer as did mastercard, in lieu of athletes, including venus and serena williams, not everyone was supportive mineral black woman hater and defunct journalist pierce, morgan happens to say, quote, this have got nothing to do with mental health, what soccer really means is that she doesn't want to face the media if she hasn't played well. because the beesley journalist might actually dare to criticize her performance. he also called, called a socket. an arrogant spoil, brad, whose fame and fortune appears, have inflated her ego to gigantic proportions. here to break down the ever developing uh, soccer french open withdrawal. fall out. is rti sports producer regina hans? i. hi regina, it's always great to see you. good. see you again. we are meeting under different circumstances. but regina, we know the athletes deal with mental health issues on a regular basis. many have come for it. we've seen in the nfl. we've seen some

across the n b a. we haven't seen it as much in tennis, but we've seen that there are different reactions when it is women in sports, particularly women of color than it is say white with it or white. mit is osaka, getting that type of treatment or do we, or do you think that this, this reaction to her is going to call the shift in how people dealing with mental health issues. particularly those from communities of color are treated by the media. you want to think 1st yes, we hope that this is a shifting point in having that conversation that you know, there's a whole shut up interval or shut up in place. and we always hear from fan dan's me to even the media itself and that they expect to be entitled to have access to these athletes and soccer. shut that down so you know what? i'm dealing with, personal things. and she was interesting, but she was disappointed and sorry, the person who was doing the mental struggle this, sorry to everyone else because we have guilt that are in the media. if you feeling bad that she can't talk. and so you hope i'm sure that there's a shift here,

but ultimately you've seen treatment of women of color in sports like this for age is trina. william got heat when you are a cat through, after all die and giving birth to her daughter. you see other women and tennis, you know, they're being asked questions about their dating life, what they're wearing, things of thing to do with what they do for a living. so for us, i can kinda give the, i'm taking a break to stepping back and people are supporting her, especially through to who understand from young age what can happen when don't do you regina think that the prep is going to change some of its tactics because as we've seen, there been private sector organizations as well as other athletes who have come out and spoke about this, particularly those athletes who also started as children or young people. what do you think the press reaction is going to be and how they deal with these interviews and these very tense, oftentimes inappropriate levels of conversation that they have that have nothing to do with sports at all? no, and again you see this very prevalent with women in sports versus men in sports. you're not going to read your feder about a dating life very, but you're still not going to ask them. you're not going to ask them questions about i'll give us a twirl. what you're wearing, excuse me,

who asks if you don't ask these 2 men, but women have always gotten this treatment and they're under harsher certainty. and the fact that now actually the 4 major grand slams in tennis, have put statements out saying we will accept. like if you're dealing with something, we have mental health professionals able to treat whatever we can do and coming out supported her. you're seeing a lot of things like, you know what? i think i feel comfortable now. so hopefully she's setting a stage for other app is look, i'm also dealing with this because you know, it's people who don't look like they're dealing with it who struggle sometime struggle the most best point. and lastly, i think and very quickly how do we normalize the conversation about mental health? just taking the stigma being like, you know, what i so from depression i suffer meetings id. it's ok. i can admit it. i do. it takes a lot for a lot people, they just can't be, you know, it be making it less stigmatized. really what we need to do. and on that note regina, i'm going to have to let you go. but thanks for visiting us. no more as we go to break, remember that you can also start watching the hawk on demand, the brand new portable tv app, available on all platform. coming up,

we'll discuss why in the 20th slave trader, k, k. k leader and confederate generals were made or finding a new home stay to, to watching the hawk. the me driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares

thing. we dare to ask me. ah hale kicking off summer solution every summer we talk about the solution and drawing on the problems. you know, we got answers begun pollution me an entire village in alaska has had to move. if another country threaten to wipe out in america. we do everything in our power to project in water escaping climate change poses the same threat right now. alaska. seen some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world. we lost about 3535 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring is fatty. and that

means the river is 35 pounds. then limiting was year before i think we're part of america. there's the mover. the me nathan bed for 4th is held of a hero among confederate army enthusiasts, otherwise known as racist across america. the same people who believe the confederate flag was nothing more than a symbol of southern pride in history, rather than the flag that represented states that never wanted slavery to end. a flag that louis crosses burned in black people's yards. k, k. k. rage struck black neighborhoods in the domestic terrorism,

an anti democratic symbol that flag actually it. nathan bed per 4th has a striking history of talent, as he served as a grand wizard for the ku klux klan. and before that, before the civil war horse became a very wealthy man, as a cotton plantation owners, slave trader and real estate broker. he was a man of many human rights violations in washington will talents, if you will. and the decades since reconstruction, reformers and civil rights advocates have bought to remove the idolize ation of confederate leaders like forest in memphis, tennessee. the former slave traders body will be removed from the grave and health sciences park to museum hundreds of miles away. this was a long time coming as the city of memphis removed a statue of him in 2017 after selling the park. joining me now to share more on this is board member of nipple greenpeace. the mercer welcome leader. oh, thank you for having it. thanks for joining us. luther can you provide

a rundown of why it's so important for confederate in clan leaders like nathan better for us to have their images removed from public spaces and what the process in memphis has looked like? well, you know, one thing that i want to put forth 1st is that, you know, we're not trying to distort history. what. ready we're trying to do is history in its proper place. so what we, when we talk about these confederate monuments and specifically the lord who actually purchased the parts and removed the statue and now in the process of working with others to have his remains and his other him and his wife. it's important to, to have this conversation about what this means in our country to celebrate when these monuments went up to celebrate the actions of these people in that time, meaning a confederate general and meaning they had a plan. again there's,

there's people who also referred to him here as the butcher of for pillar because of the mass for that took place of many african americans here in this area. and so what we, what we are trying to do is symbolized what it is now in history to market as and nominating united. this is what has happened, but now putting in his proper pul, not in glorification, but in the understanding that this is a history that can not be recognized and supported in of lifted as being something that america stands for today. and if we continue to do that, and therefore i think blind people matter size the history of this country. and we need to acknowledge, couldn't agree with me more luther and if somebody who went to college and graduated from college in nashville, i've seen quite a few of those. and they've, for, for statues myself. luther. why did it take so long for such a notorious slave trader and domestic terrorist leader to finally be recognized for

the legacy and the stain on democracy that he represented? will you know, here in mid this, it took 20 years to remove the statues. there are many people that i want to acknowledge them that have come before that actually made the statements that this history has to be recognized and it has to be put in the proper place. and so up until about 20162017. a new iteration of that group taken down not a one step forward. and we had an opportunity working with the city because of the commissioner band turn of the president of our organization who actually met with the mayor, met with the for us being say, hey, this is how to do this. now, one of the major reasons that we had to go this way, we had to purchase, depart it because the state of tennessee, historical society would not allow these monuments to be taken down. and so from

then there was been again, as i mentioned, 20 years of a fight who tried to remove the statues in the way in which they will put up there . and jim crow and also what they were recognizing was celebrating of this, of this leader during his time. and so it's really becomes a political issue a lot of had with. so there are people who still hold on to this history as it is. this is not the truth is nothing role, we're having this person being recognized and celebrated, but in and turning it around and saying, well this is just a part of our history and just to move on. but no, we need to acknowledge it. we don't need to disregard it because we'll be doomed. ready to repeat it, but we do need to put it in a proper perspective. we need to put it way to let new generations know that we're not celebrating the ignorance of our, of that time. we are trying to put it in a place where we understand that never repeat and so in memphis and memphis is for

all intents and purposes, a very, a very diverse, a largely african american city. when we think about this in context, and we think about the history of nathan beth report, and we think about how nationally a lot of the confederate monuments ended up coming down as a result of or after the black lives matter protests of 2020 in memphis. this was a motion long before the george boy george boy protest actually started. so can you speak a little bit about that and how cell unit was, even though you had significant pushback from the state or state organization originally and how you manage to keep it, keep it going and, and make some headway. well, you know, in 20162017, we really began to have another discussion about these parks in the celebration of east confederate leaders. and so, as i mentioned already 20 years in the making and so in the rise of take them down

one, we had to have a different conversation with the state. we've gone to the state of the city, had gone to the state and said, hey, you know, here's where we are, here's what we need to do and, and will you, will you support our action? but the historical society refused to back that. so in meeting with, as i mentioned, the mer, mention was city council, others, it took a several months to put the organization together, get the funding, the resources that we needed in order to move this forward. it was a very challenging and complicated journey setting up a non profit looking at the tax situation, actually becoming managers of clarks all the legal ramifications. because been in law some since 2017 from the sons of better c, around this. and we won at every level because we are the private owners of this

park and have the right to do whatever we deemed necessary with anything. on the part, however, we concluded that sometime in late 219-2020, where we finally got the final. when it said, hey, look, this is where we are and send us a better. see, we had a discussion with them and we've moved for we're saying we don't want the statues to be destroy again, and that's not our issue. our issue is that if they are to be placed in a, remember it's the proper places in a museum. so they can properly historically document what these statues stood for, and also the recognition of that time in his life of what he represented, and therefore to history and to people here. now it properly represents what we now need to know and understand and how we need to move forward with just

a few seconds left. how are activists responding? i'm sorry, with a few seconds left out of the act, the bits responding. we know black lives matter. you know, they, they painted the entering the entry way of the original spot. how are they responding to the, the relocation? well, as of today there's, there's been just a light murmur of discussion around the happiness to see the final nail in the car . and i think we're going to see more discussions about it as we get to get to actually read it, zooming the buyers there, we're gonna have to leave there. we're going to have to leave it there and i hope to have you back on soon. thanks. so much for joining us. thank you very much. and that is our show for you today. remember everyone in this world, we're not told we're loved enough. so i tell you all, i love you. i'm myisha cross. keep on watching those talk and have
