helping protect protesters of those shootings in dallas killed. dallas area rapid transit authority officer brent thompson married a fellow officer and patrick zamarripa, michael krol, lorne ahrens and jesus retana. stopping and listening we still live in a divided segregated world. put all these pieces together of the week. what did you see as you watched first the videos of the police shootings and deaths and then the deaths of police officers. >> i'm still processing this. i mean, it doesn't make -- i mean, it makes sense in that i understand the actual details of what seemed to

to what we know, but the more this happens, the more confusing it gets because this was centuries of us trying to live together and not being able to. it's hard because policing has its own requirements, having -- being a good citizen is a whole other thing and when they run up against each other, the tension that comes out of that is bad and dangerous and i think that one of the things that for me is really interesting that i think is -- it might be beginning to happen despite the atmosphere around what happens this week being extremely toxic is people thinking about how to talk about this, and it can't just be black people speaking up on

it has to be white people talking to each other about empathy and about understanding what day to day life is for not just black people but gays and lesbians, immigrants, people who are under constant threat just atmospher atmospherically, psychically. ch hillary clinton asking for empathy for black people among white people, that was new. felt new to me anyway because that's been the thing i noticed about this is that in this time, trump is sort of -- or the conversation about whiteness and rallying white people and seeming to exploit or being accused of exploiting

of white disenfranchisement, if such a thing is possible. and so you have this atmosphere now that just seems really charged and i think what has to happen is somebody has to both unite -- i mean, somebody who is capable of doing leadership, maybe -- not necessarily nationally but connecting all this stuff and getting us to talk about it and then it will be interesting to see how this incident is the -- these two incidents and then the incident, tragedy on -- in dallas sort of gets people to come together and talk about this in a way that is productive. >> president obama was in the unique, somewhat strange position of being overseas when this took place. he was in a nato summit and had to step to a podium three different times to address something that happen in this country and you

a step in explaining what is happening and trying to unite. here is president obama's attempt to this week. >> i firmly believe that america is not as divided as some have suggested. you know, the legacy of slavery and jim crow and discrimination didn't suddenly vanish with the passage of the civil rights act or the voting rights act or the election of barack obama, that things have gotten better, substantially better but that we've still got a lot more work to do. >> that was an important message because a lot of people said this is 1968 in america riots in the streets and some of the press we saw coverage of newspapers saying civil war and things like that and the president in that moment was trying to turn down the testimony. >> i think that's right and part of why he's cutting his trip short in spain. he wants to come back

the concerns, the heated rhetoric right now. look, this is a very personal issue for this president. we saw this in the wake of trayvon martin and ferguson and he created a police task force aimed at really trying to bridge the divide between communities and police deputies and there has been some progress. i mean, police deputies across the country have enhanced their training, thousands of police officers now wear body cameras but if you look at the statis c statisti statistics, actually more people are getting killed in police-involved shootings and before police officers are getting killed. this is clearly still an issue that is so complicated and so hard to get at. hillary clinton to your point has made this issue central to her campaign in the primary. i'm told she's going to be talking about it a lot this week. it's a challenge for donald trump. what will we hear from him? will he layout policy prescriptions for

you have african americans as westly said feel under siege by the police and police believe they have targets on their back because of rhetoric out there in politics. you've worked on these issues. what do we do from a policy point of view to stop this? >> i blame politicians for having gotten to this point with our big government incarceration system. the united states has more men and women behind bars than any other nation in the world. we spend billions of dollars incarcerating our own people and the clinton era crime reforms were terrible, mandatory minimums and the laws on crack cocaine and putting people behind bars for drug-related offenses, non-violent destroyed families within this country and i think that we really -- it is the most pressing issue to undo the modern day jim crow laws. >> from a policy point of

that's different from a traffic stop where somebody is pulled over for a taillight. how do we change policing in those moments? >> i mean, i don't actually know from a training standpoint how you do that but i think prolonged and frequent exposure to people who aren't like you is part of it and not to perceive -- i mean, this is sort of, what we're talking about in a lot of ways is pathology. it's like a pathological -- i mean, what we talk about when we talk about unconscience bias is a misperception of the person around you or the idea if you're pulling someone over and that person happens to be black, he could be more dangerous than another motorists that you would be pulling over. i don't know what the actual solution to this is except having -- being around people who aren't like you. i think -- i mean, for police fi

tricky and this is i don't know what the solution is from an actual police training standpoint and that's what these task forces are tasked to do. to get at this problem. i know -- i mean -- >> yeah, it speaks to the issue of community policing. charles ramsey the head of the police task force also police commissioner in philadelphia really made that a focus in philadelphia. it did change things. it did improve crime statistics there but it takes time -- >> in dallas. dallas is just a model of a nation for what they have done to demilitarize their police force and it's a problem across the board in so many cities an influx of money with hope land security like ferguson with hum fees. we are policing with tools that are weapons of war. >> you

country got to know in dallas was out front and has been out front on the use of tasers than lethal force and community policing, things we ask police forces to do continue to do that and still left with this situation. obviously, a lot to talk about. we want to mention serena williams. you watched the match. >> in the modern era -- >> some good news. >> don't we need to talk about serena as one of the three, four, five greatest athletes male or female of all time? >> yes, that's beginning to happen but took this for it to begin. i mean, she's 30 -- she's going to be 35 soon. based on the way she played yesterday when everything is working for her, her serve was -- i mean, angele is a great

returner but if she can't get her racket on the ball. there is no point there is no rally. serena is going to win. >> that's defining age. it used to be if you turn 25 you're done. she's about to be 35. >> she's going to win two or three more, four more, five more. >> what i love about yesterday is she then went on to play a double match with her sister. so incredible. >> absolutely -- >> she was ready to go. guys, stay with me for the highs and lows including the kevin durant career choice that turns the team with the best record into a temperatures in low and m

watch that full interview online later. it used to be when a little girl closed her eyes and imagined a ballet dancer she would see a tall, white, thin women doing a plete. she became the first female dancer in the american ballet theater. the young girl that grew up shy and quiet in a busy los angeles house full of brothers and sisters made herself heard around the world and changed the face of ballet. ♪ ♪ >> it's been a year now. congratulations on your anniversary. >> thank you. >> has the reality of it lived up to your dream? >> yes. it's been an incredible first spring season as a principiple

dancer. i was aware i was black but the lack of african americans in top companies and like wow. is it going to happen for me? it hasn't happened for 75 years. why would it happen for me? at the same time it gave me more of a fire that was like i am carrying so many people with me and i can do this. >> watching misty copeland sore across the stage, you would think she had been dancing since she was in diapers but while of the world's elite dancers start training well before kindergarten, misty didn't discover ballet until the age of 13 and did it in a setting a long way from her current home at new york's famed lincoln center. she got her start at the boy's and girl's club of san padro, california. >> i was always interested in movement and there was always music around my house so i naturally would move to it and i decided i would audition for the dance team and the teacher kind of pushed me into take thing ballet class and it

first thing i felt this connection with and the fact that i didn't have to use my voice and speak gave me comfort and strength in a way that i had never seen before. >> when did you know ballet would be your professional life? >> it probably was when i entered this competition when i was 15 years old. and then i won the competition and it was the first time but then i was offered a full scholarship at san francisco ballet so i decided to go there for the summer and the first time it was a shock. i was the only black girl in my class. i don't remember any other black people there besides my roommate. that's when it really became on my radar at that point. >> did it make it more difficult for you? did you feel like an outsider in the world or able to block it out? >> i never felt like i was an outsider at all. it was

like i was part of something inclusive. i never connected with anything my entire childhood. finding -- i felt like these were my sisters and brothers i was surrounded by and we spoke the same language. >> what's the next step? >> i turned down abc's offer the first time around. >> really? >> yes. >> that's bold. >> at the end of the summer it was another big shock. they offered me a contract with the studio company and i spoke to my mother and she was like i really think you need to come home and finish high school. so i turned them down again. >> you did? >> yes. >> you turned them down twice. >> yeah, i came back the following summer and they offered me the contract again and i moved here. >> in 2007, misty became the american ballet theater's second african american female soloist and the first in two decades. from there, misty's rise began. she toured as a dancer with in

she wrote two new york times best-selling books. >> you know, when i was promoted to soloist, it was just a dream come true and then i think it was six or seven years that i thought as a soloist in the company and had a moment again where maybe this is itoloist is >> which is enough at abc. >> it's incredible but i felt like i can't stop here. you watch ballets and i say this often, you're not looking at the first girl in the line on the side. you're looking at the ballerina in the center and i think that's everyone's dream and why they train so hard and yeah, i don't think that ever left me. >> in 2015, she became that ballerina at the center when american ballet theater promoted her to principle dancer. misty was named one of "time magazine"'s most influential 100 people in the world a

subject of a documentary and appeared on broadway and signed a list of endorsements, including with under armor that went outside the world of sports to work with misty creating a famous commercial that's been viewed more than 10 million times. she even has her own barbie doll. do you enjoy the celebrity aspect of it? >> i don't -- i just don't think of myself as a celebrity. >> you are. go ahead. [ laughter ] >> it was really wild. i don't think anyone in the company or in the dance world. we were all kind of shocked. i'm a ballerina and that's why i'm given the opportunities that i'm given. you know, i'm a part of giving people hope that you don't have to fit into this mold of what, you know, society has cut out for you to be in order to succeed. >> having broken the ballet mold herself, misty is hoping to help others like her with a line of dance wear french for equal. >> it kind of came up when i was

had gained a lot of weight and went through puberty really late in life and my breasts had grown and i was like i'm going to create dance wear that people that aren't thin can wear and a plus line and it's coming to fruition. >> one thing you've done is help ballet breakthrough to a new audience of people that may not have access to ballet or thought it was for them in someway. maybe some elite. >> it's incredible to see the audience change over the past four years, like a completely different audience. i have like the cleaning lady in the opera house come up to me and say i saw the line outside and it's amazing to see these different faces, you know, and different colors and it's like that's what this is about. >> what's it like to have a 13-year-old girl come up to you and say i'm into ballet because of you? as a young 13-year-old girl yourself thought the sa

i was once that girl and herrera was that for me and to be able to share these things with the people that inspire you like it means so much more than they probably realize to us. >> misty says she learned how to move as a kid by feeling the music that was playing in her house. her favorites were aretha franklin, mariah carey and more. to hear misty hear how she hopes to change body image from weight to skin color, check out the web extras at today.com/sunday and the next time we get together two weeks from now, we'll spend time on the water with the savvy surfer that became a billionaire by dreaming up the go procamera. coming up next, exotic vacations without the beach chairs and

as you pack up the family and head out on vacation, how would you and your kids feel about arriving at the sunny destination and getting right to work? morg morgan looks into it. >> reporter: bathing in the sunlight, dancing on the deck and cocktails by the pool. that's when you think of when you think of a caribbean cruise vacation. not this. these vacationers are digging a little deeper. they are part of a growing trend called voluntourism. >> more than sitting on a beach and getting a dan and got drunk for a week, now you're making a difference. >> reporter: 1.6 million people make the difference each year and caught the attention of big names in the hospitality industry including carnival. sandals resorts and the ritz carlton. >> i

that means helping save sea turtles. >> hold your handout. >> reporter: guests help out by painting stakes to mark the nests. >> we got to hold them and play with them and saw them walk out to the ocean. >> reporter: sandals resort is jumping out offering guests the chance to volunteer at local schools. since 2009 more than 17,000 volunteers have taken part in the reading road trip. >> when they see somebody coming, taking time from vacation and a person that would probably never have interacted with them before, chances of them seeing a tourist are one in ten so a chance to come in their environment in their close room and spend time with them is awesome. >> reporter: attracting couples like tim and miranda taylor. >> i like working with children and things like that so he surprised me and booked this for us for our honeymoon. >> seeing miranda actually interact with the kids and see

something you don't see in our generation. >> reporter: even crew giant carnival is designing a specialty crew liner forllennia think globally first and how do i make a difference but also people that have traveled a lot and say you know what? next time i travel i want to do something different and make a different. >> reporter: for $499, passengers can choose to do service activities in the dominican republic. on board they spend two days taking classes and learning about the home country before they arrive. once they dock, three days volunteering in some of the country's most challenged neighborhoods. travelers can teach english at local schools. or in people's homes. >> i speak it.

on a long-term basis when you're in the country, even if you know the language, even if you've studied the culture. >> reporter: but the locals we spoke to like the women that run this small recycled paper factory say it's changed their lives. [speaking foreign language]. >> reporter: carnival says they made a real i'm pampact, in suc part due to local partnerships. >> for myself, well really want this to happen. we want it to work if it works and it is right now it can be replicated somewhere else in the world and that's the goal. >> reporter: a goal to change travel and the way each of us see the world. >> morgan radford reporting. next, violence caught on smart phones and streamed l
