politics, you would not know he served four mayor's and he had very powerful friends like former mayor willie brown san francisco's often fractured board of supervisors could not agree on at the mayor, then they agreed on the compromise -- ed lee. the board approved him ten to one, and they do not approve of anything ten to one. who is he? his mother was a seamstress. his father died when he was 10. he was so poor, he and his siblings would scrounged around in the basement for something to give each other for christmas. in one box, there would be an old shoe. in another one, a shoelace. he won a scholarship to bottling college in bowdoin college in maine. he returned to the bay area to attend ucla berkeley law school, before working for the city government, first as an investigator in the whistle- blowers department, and a few decades after california passed laws forbidding agents from -- asians from owning land, he became the first chinese- american mayor. now his mustache has its own twitter feed. i feel badly for the audience, because they can only hear the mustache. it is truly awesome up

we should not be compared to willie horton. politicians keep using him as an excuse for not doing the right thing. willie horton was guilty when he went into prison and he was guilty when they let him out. he has nothing to do with their situation. no just legislator, no just clergy's, no just people can sit here and watch what we have been through. if it had not been for jonathan, reverand, and especially the media -- they have been wonderful at exposing the injustice in this country and around the world. we would not have a voice. we would still languish in those places. and they would pretend like nothing happened. tavis: next time, we will hear the story of a former police officer who was wrongfully convicted of a serious crime while on duty at the university of chicago. we will also look at the work being done to combat wrongful convictions. keep the faith. >> for more information on today's show, visit tavis smi ley. tavis: join me next time for the work being done in illinois. >> all i know is my name is james and he nee

the book is called willie nelson, an epic clash. that is by joe nick. it is not the most readable book in the world. i think what judge does is give us the name of everybody in the world who had anything to do with bill nelson, but given the fact that willie nelson is one of the more -- is clearly one of the great entertainers of our time and he is really an icon and a unique type of individual because of who he is and his entertainment qualities, in vermont where cinnamon number of times he brings a huge range of people. most singers will appeal to this group of people or that group of people. willie brings them all together, and that has a lot to do with his personality, decency as a human being, his gentleness, a very gentle man, decency as just a very, very strong supporter of rural america and family farmers. so people learn about the life of a guy he was born in arkansas, his family migrated to texas. you know, he worked in the canfield's. he, you know, grew up very, very poor. he has a unique time, i think, to working americans today. so willie i
