pollution, the the, we're segregated along my social class flow class people though, also covered by 1st if you're born in to a 4 family, you're born into a minority family. if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your lives, chances people die on average. 15 years old, you born as a generational poverty. it's a, it's a fight every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. mm. mm 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 in the 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 is 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 the 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 believe they deserve to die, because in their mind,

trans women tricked their male lovers. trans women, particularly both of color, just don't seem to matter. 2020 brought the national consciousness to corporate 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, p advocacy, group allies, and corporations feel fail to knowledge, but 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 prior history . every year, people tried to make pride more respectable. just know that when you do this, you're intentionally ignoring the black lab. 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 admonishing states that target trains use biden's the quote. for all of our progress, there are many states in which l g, b, t, q plus individual still lack protections for funded mental rights and dignity in hospitals . schools, public comment, public accommodations and other spaces. but black in 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. rises you always. the roy throw strike, math grade, leave them a deceptive. manipulate so much of these weapons. so open up your welcome

. everybody to watching the hawk. i'm a mr. cross. tyrrell 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. don't want to be sure rather me. well, preston is, 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 does 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 in 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 met for so many black and brown, we are fans and by near people, we're going to forget that hit through all the time. the storm already happened in 969, and it actually was more than one day for a few days where, you know,

black trans women, spammed and that sort of color were tired up. they were tired of police rate and they finally spot back. people like marcia p johnston still deal. rivera stormy day, day burnett, and we have so much history. in the black and brown, we're trans, bernard from the back continues to be a race, and it's time for to stop all get 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, p. community specifically trans women and girls, we just saw governor to fainter find a bill 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 private 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 the rainbows. this is more than corporation. this is community. ready organizing is a community activism, and we're really going to have a conversation about what to now be whatever, whatever the normal feel looks like for after cobit right. people are actually now being in a camp this year on 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 drum beat, 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 4th official, when you look at places like new york, that actually decided to not have 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. pull the full b up. we're full of transit antagonism, athens be in places like florida and around the country. and so yeah, the next step is for people to really continue to talk about the ad 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 a 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 bit on discriminate against trans women in girls specifically. but this kind of thing, the bit performative because we haven't really seen legislation that stops a lot of this movement is there more that can be done and what would you like to see from the bind whitehouse? 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, pregnant to 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, out of the, the actual 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 purge congress, make sure that we have been by workplace profession. they need to actively against what it means to create violence in violence 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 jack frame. it's more than just butterfly, is more than just for people think 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 going in and doing late fees, naya, grow up in such a beautiful way. she's confident she felt for sure, we really 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 fluid ration. and that's what happens when you don't have a way to make sure that he was protected, 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 50 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 to 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 a 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 happened to say, quote, this have got nothing to do with mental health. what osaka 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 cole, called a socket. an arrogant spoil, brad, whose fame and fortune appears, have inflated her ego project gaining proportion. here to break down the ever

developing a soccer french open withdrawal. fall out its r t sports producer regina han. hi. hi regina. it is always great to see you. good . see you here 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 a soccer 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 are dealing with mental health issues, particularly those from communities of color are treated by the media. what do you want to take 1st? yes, we hope that this is a shifting point in having that conversation that you know, there's a whole shut up interval shut up in place that we always hear from fan damn me to even the media itself. and that they expect to be entitled to have access to these athletes and osaka, shut down so you know what?

i'm dealing with, personal things. and she was interesting that she was disappointed and sorry, the person who was dealing with mental struggle this, sorry to everyone else because we have guilt it or the media. if you feeling bad, that she can't talk. and so, you know, you hope i'm sure that there's a shift here, but ultimately you've seen treatment of women of color and sports like this for age is trina. william got heat when you are a cat dude. 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 have nothing to do with what they do for living. so for us talking to kinda give the, i'm taking a break to stepping back and people are supporting her, especially through to who understands 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? 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 gonna roger federer about a date and she's married, 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 and tennis has put statements out saying we will accept. like if you're dealing with something, we'll have mental health professionals able to treat whatever we can do and coming out supportive. or you're seeing a lot of athens like, you know what? i think i feel comfortable now. so hopefully she setting the 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 sometimes struggle the most best point. and lastly, i think and very quickly how do we normalize this conversation about mental health? just taking the signal off being like, you know, what i said 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 general remains. are finding a new home status to watching the hawk. ah, ah, ah, join me every 1st on the alex summon show when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me

the media, a reflection of reality the in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. type relation to community. you going the right way? where are you being somewhere? which direction? what is truth? what is in a world corrupted. you need to defend the so join us in the depths, remained in the shallows, ah, ah, an entire village in alaska has had to move. if another country threaten the wipe

out in america, we do everything in our part a project in what in a escaping climate change poses the same threat right now alaska has 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 it is bad. and that means the river is 35 pounds, then learning was yours for. i think we're a part of america, the 3rd from or america for 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, a battalion, as he served as a grand wizard for the ku klux klan. and before that, before the civil war force became a very wealthy man, as a cotton, plantation owner, slave trader, and real estate broker. he was a man of many human rights violations and questionable talents if you will. and the decade since reconstruction, reformists 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 the greenpeace mercer welcome leuva. hello, thank you for having that. thanks for joining us. luther can you provide a rundown of why it's so important for confederate and 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 the proper place. so what we, when we talk about these confederate monuments and specifically here in memphis with the nathan that before situation. i being a member of a board 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 the monuments went up to celebrate the actions of these people in that time, meaning a confederate general and meaning the head of the 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 symbolize what it is now in history to mark that as and nominating this is what has happened. but now putting in his proper pull, not in glorification, but in the understanding that this is a history big can that be recognize and supported enough lifted as being

something that america stands for today. and if we continue to do that in, therefore, i think you blind people matter size the history of this country. and we need to acknowledge, couldn't agree with the more luther and it's somebody who went to college and graduated from college in nashville. i've seen quite a few of those, nathan, better for that. she was 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 in the stain on democracy that he represented? well, 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 statement 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 takes about 9 a one step forward. and we had an opportunity working with the city because of

the commissioner van turner was the president of our organization who actually met with the mayor, met with the person for us to 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 the party to it because the state of tennessee historical society was not allowed. these mining is 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 or celebrating of this, of this leader during this time. and so it's really become a political issue a lot of had with. so there are people who still hold onto this history as if this is not the truth. if nothing's wrong with 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 war, but no, we need to acknowledge it. we don't need to disregard it because we'll be doomed. it repeated, but we do need to put it in a proper perspective. we need to put it in a way to let you generations know. we're not celebrating the ignorance of our, of that time, but 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, better born than 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 blay protest, actually started. so can you speak a little bit about that and how cell unit was,

even though you had significant push back from the state or the state organization originally. and how you manage to keep it, keep the fight going and, and make some real 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 messing with 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 parks all the legal ramifications because we've been in law some since 2017 from the funds of a better 3 around this. and we one at every level because we are private owners of this park and have the right to do whatever we deem necessary with anything on the far however, we concluded that sometime in late 299-2020, where we finally got the final ruling and said, hey, look, this is where we are and, and send us a better see, we had a discussion with them and we moved for were 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 historic, please 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 do we need to move forward with just a few seconds left. how are activists responding? i'm sorry, with a few seconds left. how are the activists responding? we know black lives matter, you know, they painted the entry, 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 the light murmur of discussion around the happiness to see the final nail in the coffin. i think we're going to see more discussions about it as

we do to actually read, exuding 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 a great day and night everyone. me ah the
