congress is mandated to reduce representation for a state that that disenfranchises adult males. african-americans in the south really did not begin voting again until roughly world war ii and in very substantial numbers, not until the 1965 voting rights act. how did disfranchisement happen? with the suffrage rights of african-americans protected by the 15th amendment, blacks turned out in enormous numbers and they voted overwhelmingly republican. because all southern states had very large african-american populations and 3 southern states had black majorities. republican candidates won resounding victories everywhere and many blacks were actually elected to office. at times during reconstruction, blacks were close to a majority of the lower house of the mississippi and louisiana legislature, and they were a majority in south carolina. african-americans served in congress. thousands of african-americans held the critically important local offices like sheriffs or school board member or local county counselor. the political power of southern blacks were short-lived. even when they

of the government, and particularly this representation of immigration policy. let me go back to the rand paul moment for a second, because i think it's important that we see

ambiguities and representations. it represents some of the confusion that might exist about who counts as a veteran, what it means to be a veteran, how that meaning has changed over time and how society has miss -- has understood that change over time. how all of these things connect with nonveterans in society. so the civil military divide, which is -- seems to be growing ever greater. and so all of these issues were brought together in a three-week summer institute down at virginia tech, in washington, actually. and where we explored with about 20 other colleagues from a variety of disciplines some of these issues. one of the big takeaways or one of the big questions that we were talking about is whether it would make sense to talk about something like veterans studies as a subdiscipline or as its own field. is that something that actually should exist? does it make sense to think of veterans' history as a discreet subfield of history? can you think about it -- is there enough shared in common and enough unique abo

these representations along with some more sort of local representations of the war, give us a sense that we have a difficulty accepting a wounded male body in commemorative and public spaces. this is a screen shot from roadside america where people can go and leave reviews of things they see as they're driving around the country. if you visit this website and you look up -- or if you look up deming new mexico's baton , monument, it reads that the creepy baton death march monument is a perhaps too realistic rendering of half star ved world war ii american soldiers. an individual posted his own photograph of the monument with a comment, sort of a walking dead effect, only this really happened to american soldiers at the start of the war. so he at least acknowledges that it's a memorial to a real event, but comparing it to a television series about a zombie apocalypse makes its reality a lot harder to grasp. the monument was built in 1991 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the start of world war ii. the planners of the monument were the men themselves. this is an image of the monum

anand i'm glad to kind of move n that direction because i think we need representation, and i represent not just vietnamese americans and asian americans, but also my entire district of north san jose, which is more than just asians. >> and real quickly, what made you decide, "you know what? i'm gonna try again, even though i lost the first time around"? >> maybe there's a bit of pride in it, but there's also a bit of wanting the district to have good representation. i observed in the second round of that election, there were no contenders. in the first time when there was an open seat, we had 10 people sign up to run. in the second round a year later when there was an incumbent, nobody decided to run. and i thought, in a democracy, you need choices. and some people are unwilling to put up their kind of political capital and lose. but i'm willing to do that because i believe in democracy. i believe people deserve a choice. but i'm thankful that they chose me. >> great perspective. well, we're gonna pause for a quick commercial break. but coming up, we'll dive into the topic of asians in

the problem is exacerbated by the fact that the south was going to gain congressional representation as a result of the abolition of slavery with the 13th amendment. blacks are now going to count 5/5 rather than 3/5. republicans need to guarantee the vote for southern blacks, but imposing black suffrage in the north runs the risk of alienating the constituents who have repeatedly made it clear they don't think african-americans in the north ought to be voting. that is the republican dilemma. the first shot at solving that the mentor was section two of the 14th amendment, which seemed like an ideal answer to their problems. it creates a powerful inducement for southern states to enfranchise blacks by threatening to reduce their congressional representation if they continue to disfranchised adult male citizens. that provision will place low-pressure on northern states, because there are so few blacks living in the north. the black population of the north varies from less than 1% in new england to 1% or 2% in states like indiana and illinois and peaks that perhaps three or 4% -- 3% or 4

mary was depicted directly alongside jesus christ as his companion the mosaic still expresses representation directly but the angels are missing. thus the picture clearly indicates that the central figure of the new testament jesus christ the redeemer is superior to the angels in the hierarchy even though he was a human being. the upper basilica of san clemente in rome was built at the beginning of the twelfth century in it the buys and time courtly order is abandoned the christian cross dominates the ordering of the spheres still expresses numba and order but more important is the concentration on the christian visual symbols they signify the opposite of power christ as the holy land the center of his flock. i'm this is god as the angel of peace among us a full god it's a different pictorial message from those of antiquity all the buys and time empire . around the turn of the millennium the church order as expressed in images went through a profound crisis of increasing worldliness and corruption the authority of the pope and with it the message of salvation through the one church was subst

but still there in the companies it's a different it's a different world with jaques companies representation to twelve point nine percent that's an improvement the end x. those only have four point four percent the mid-cap companies what's going wrong there. i'd say the m. docs is a very good example of german of german companies of the economy of german economy so and this tells the story of a very conservative society so they are role models lacking there are not enough women on the supervisory board it's there are not enough women on the in the top leadership level levels so and this is a big problem britain's equalities watch dog is asking the b.b.c. to reveal its policy a female editor recently resigned you would have seen this in the news claiming it paid two men fifty percent more for the same job condemning a secretive and illegal culture when it comes to pate. do you agree is that what we're dealing with here is that what it is an illegal and secretive pay culture and companies. possibly there is this culture or at least the figures tell selves so there is a gender pay gap this has

one of the representations blew my mind, whoever thought the first interracial kiss could tie to martin woman who was an astronaut. tell us about that discovery. >> nishell nichols one of the original stars of the star trek series one of the ground breaking moments when she was cast was one of the first role of a woman in color that was not in the role of a service or a maid. the cast was incredibly diverse and pushing boundaries. she had one of the first onscreen kisses with bill shatner -- william shatner -- >> trevor: william shatner, yeah. i think both work. ( laughter ) >> right. but it was at the height of the civil rights movement and people would write into the show. they were not comfortable seeing so much diversity on a mainstream prime time television show. the producers cut her line, relegated her to the background, but it was a tough move on her and it was a chance encounter in an naacp event, who would she meet but martin luther king came up to her and said i'm a techy, i love what you're doing. >> trevor: that's so insane. >> yeah. ( applause ) it's such a beautiful testa

those that i had come to know that were part of my ilk, a part of my being, they didn't have representation to the extent that they needed. if lincolns words were of any meaning all the people for the people by the people, weren't we people? then why weren't we there? to that extent i ran to be a part of what i would call politics, the decision-making process in this country and state and locality. >> where did you grow up an what was virginia like during that time? >> i grew up in the east end of richmond, 28th street right across from a famous church i only went to when i was late going to my church, an african baptist church. all my elementary schools were obviously not up to snuff and no -- it had outdoor toilets in the city of richmond, it had no cafeteria, no auditorium. and the principal was white and all the teachers were of color. but the finest and best teacher in the world, because they looked upon us as their children, and they had corrective responsibilities as well, but it was something you didn't know about it. with that backdrop, i was maybe about 10 blocks from the church w

the detail on the fact that victims will be making their representations to the parole board of whatof his licence should be before he is released. there is a great concern thatjohn worboys was like victims have been left out of the process so far. the government appears to be did what it can to make sure they are at least involved in the discussion about the licensed conditions, about where he can live and what restrictions there are on him where he is released. one of the concerns is that he has never gone through an open prison as part of this plan for his release. he has beenin this plan for his release. he has been in wakefield prison, prison where he still today. he has not spent any time in open conditions and has changed his name tojohn ra dford. and has changed his name tojohn radford. victims are very wise that he has not been tested in living out in open conditions, let alone out in public, and therefore they think it is an irrational decision to release him at this stage. just two years after the minimum term that he could have served in prison. it was interesting that th

it is the kind of representation of reconstruction that has been discredited by scholars. and history professors. and yet, there is something very powerful about it because it represents a point of view about reconstruction and race and the civil war that was widespread in the united states at the time it came out in 1915. and in some ways, the different types of storylines, the fears of black men as sexual predators, questions of african americans in government, black voting, those racist images in the movie continue to resonate in things that are familiar even today. i think it is important to expose students to it even though obviously, i would put , qualifiers around it. i think it's a very fascinating film. host: what reaction do your students have when they see it? dr. masur: they are kind of gob smacked. they are like, are you kidding me? they cannot believe how long it is. it is three hours long. it feels very slow now, and also it is a silent film so you have to deal with subtitles in this melodramatic acting style, but they are amazed at the blatant racism, the k

during that time tenants should know they have representation. >> mon for the legal representation will be paid -- money for the legal representation will be paid partly by city taxes. new york city enacted a similar law last summer. >>> a racetrack in redwood city could soon be revamped into a huge new tech complex. it's the old go-kart track and mini golf business known as malibu grand prix between highway 101 and blomquist road and here's what it looked like when it bustled with activity. thousands of people had fun there until it closed down in 2013. now the overgrown area could be home to a couple big office buildings that could accommodate almost 8,000 workers. traffic congestion is the main argument against this development. redwood city is taking public comments for the next three weeks. >>> brisbane's 7-mile house is celebrating its 160th birthday for a second time. the popular sports bar has had many identities through the decades from toll gate to boarding house, even speak easy. its current owner has been researching its storied past for more than a dozen years and has now w

of their lives, it had to be a representation of small community life. that is the most interesting factor. there is a great deal of social pressure to volunteer. a great deal of pressure to step forward. your --r country calls you go off to war. you are fighting with your neighbors. and how you behave is going to be known and recorded because of the tactics and weapons of the --il war, soldiers largely fought standing up. you could not play the coward without that being seen. soldiers wrote home they named names of who turned tail end ran. -- and ran. the glue that kept soldiers standing up and fighting. you are beginning to get the first anniversaries and reunions and people are getting together and commemorating the war. a kansas newspaper prints a brief history of the company that was raised in that kansas town. it prints a list of a dozen names in large lock letters. it identifies those as the people who had deserted from the company. 20 years after the war, their names were still held up and scored because they had disgraced specifically their home

everyone here deserves representation. everyone here counts.n summit goes to hospital, they don't ask your citizen or not. this would radically redefine america's is cited by asking if you are a citizen or not on the census. juan: i would ask about another topic, the issue of gerrymandering, especially in of gerrymandering, especially in several states. there are several court cases now that appear to be had it to the supreme court cision on political gerrymandering. could you talk about -- gerrymandering has existed ever since districts have existed in the u.s. what is different about what is been happening in the last two years under the republicans and some local states? >> gerrymandering has gotten so much worse in recent years. with the maps being so sophisticated in terms of how they're drawn and republicans in particular targeting democrats in such sophisticated ways. you have situation in wisconsin, where my new piece in rolling stone is set, where in 2012, democrats won 51% of the votes in wisconsin but republicans picked up 60 of 99 s

we work for equal representation in politics and participation in accountable government. and we do that in part by telling stories about what's happening and what's possible. and we also do that by generating big and bold ideas to solutions that i think you'll see that today. our criminal justice system is in dire need of change. imprisonment was originally intended to be used as a social deterrent and to protect those from those who commit crimes. it was intended for individuals to pay their debt to society, be rehabilitated, and then returned to society as productive citizens. but instead of doing those things, we have made big business out of mass incarceration. with the u.s. holding the highest incarceration than anyone else in the world. we disproportionately arrest and incarcerate people of color, and those we have an error rate of 1 out of 9 innocent people convicted, the death penalty, the death penalty still exists in some states. though whites and african-americans use drugs at roughly the same rate, african-americans are imprisoned six times more than their whi

so i think senator cotton's representations there probably fairly accurate. >> bill: marc short said the relationship with democrats is likely deteriorating. the phrase he used is probably deteriorating. is that a fair characterization? >> the president is finally starting to learn that maybe the democrats and the senate leadership were not the honest brokers we thought they were. you can't have a conversation about funding the wall but not really funding it. you can't do that with the president of the united states and not expect there to be ramifications for future discussions. >> bill: is there another meeting planned with the president and mr. schumer today? >> not with mr. schumer. >> bill: others on the democratic side? >> i'll be meeting with the president later today to go over the mechanics of the shutdown and we'll be meeting with the cabinet secretaries to go over how they'll manage the lapse in appropriations at various agencies. the president is very engaged with that. i'll speak with him several times. as for individual meetings or phone conversations that's handled by

and minority representation of the corporation was also raised. 14.596 of its staff are claimed to ber backgrounds but when looking at the start that make up the programmes, that figure falls to 1.5%. if the minister concerned there is a major problem with bame representation and what discussions has he had with them? i haven't seen those particular figures. what it draws attention to is that sometimes the overall number suggesting there is a quality hides the fact that in some areas, there is nowhere near equality. i think there are additional questions for the bbc to answer. the previous women and equalities commission just been leaning rose to ask first question from backbenches. i would like to congratulate the home secretary. she will know that young people, parents and teachers think it is vital in a modern internet world to see sex and relationships education updated. then she confirmed the government will push ahead? also if she will meet with my selves —— myself. also the honourable member for meet with my selves —— myself. also the honourable memberfor robber. meet with my s

andrew: well, a big part of what we see is that the appropriate representation of women in our gamesg change and a big shift, because not only does that act as an inspiration for young women who are playing our games, who see these characters in our games who are strong, and powerful, and independent, it also helps the boys playing our games that that's exactly as it should be as well. they should not be fearful of this. and they should not back away from this. world where we all have equal voice and equal position in the community, is a world we want to live in. so, we spend a lot of time trying to amplify that message among young boys and girls. that have seeing positive change. emily there is concern that : these issues could get worse as we move into virtual reality. there was a story about a woman being groped in virtual reality. is this a cause for concern? andrew: i don't know whether it is cause for concern. i think we have to be deliberate about how we make these moves and deliberate about the behavior we condone in these environments. aboute to be deliberate the game design

let me be absolutely clear, john worboys will not be released until their representations have been properly indeed, last week i asked for assurances that the views of victims were being taken into account and that robust licensing conditions would be put in place to manage his risk. i am aware that some third parties have indicated they are seeking to bring legal proceedings themselves, and that correspondence has been served on me as secretary of state as a potential is the leading party do any litigation. i fully support the rights of victims to their own legal advice and to challenge the decision. the approach i am taking does not mean that others who may have significant interest in the case are precluded from taking action. each case depends on the circumstances of each individual bringing a claim. that is one of the reasons i do not intend to say more on this matter. david gauke speaking in the commons earlier. an inquest into the death of the cranberries singer, dolores o'riordan has opened and been adjourned. she was found dead in her hotel room in park lane in central london on fri
