yeah, the jim crow laws, laws that made segregation legal, right, being passed of the state -- being passed at the state and local level during this time, yeah, excellent, yes? >> extreme violence against african americans throughout the south with the lynchings. prof. bohannon: lynchings, some of which are horrible public spectacles, right? some of these hangings or burnings were in the woods, but some were not. some were witnessed by hundreds and hundreds of people. and then lastly, the democratic party in the south was taking steps, right, effective steps, to disenfranchise african-americans and remove them from the voter rolls, so there is a lot going on at this time when these monuments are being erected that is important, right? to take this up to the present , and to interject my own opinion here, i am not sure that confederate monuments should remain in public spaces without ,dditional interpretation without objective signage that helps place them in the context of the times in which they were erected. signage that would have objective text, right? that is easier said than do

but so is jim crow segregation. so is mass incarceration, because they are all dependent upon the threat of violence. can i take some questions? >> my name is john. when i was inago, the sixth grade in detroit, a well integrated school, probably 20% black, 50% the blacks went home to the north, across an army reserve field to their neighborhood. the whites walked south from school. quite invited, not invited but they invited themselves, some blacks into my backyard, to my basketball hoop, play with your black friends, we don't have anything against them, at school. when i hear my father telling me that the neighbors did that. i became a teacher some 30 years blacksd i believe that are pretty much in the same boat now that they were then. they are not treated equally. own go home to their neighborhoods, particularly in boston. their ownwith neighbors, who are almost and we deal with our neighbors who are almost entirely white. almost entirely white. our dinners are almost entirely white. i'm sure there's are almost e

together, they connect the arc of america's racial history from slavery to jim crow to the arrest ofent black men in a philadelphia starbucks this month. brian stevenson is founder and executive director of the equal justice initiative and he joins me from montgomery, alabama. brian stevenson, welcome back to the program. >> thank you. it's good to be with you. >> you have done more than many, many people to keep memory alive and to keep history alive so that justice, perhaps, can be served. you have not one, but two incredible memorials. well, one is a memorial and one is a legacy museum opening. how hard was it to get to this point? what are you trying to say? >> well, it has been really, really challenging, but i'm incredibly excited and really proud to be creating these spaces. after the emancipation of millions of black people who were enslaved in the united states and enslaved black people, were subjected to decades of terrorism and violence through lynching and the brutality of that era has really never been acknowledged and we've been silent about it for too long, and our sil

this is a frontal assault on jim crow. okay? this is a frontal assault on jim crow that is being waged at the federal level. that's what randolph is in the process of doing. and the other thing that he's doing is he is increasingly using this rhetoric that more and more african-americans are using that's tying -- right? that's tying the anti-democratic practices of the nazis, of the axis powers to the anti-democratic practices of racist and segregationist governors and governments. right? so he's saying, look. there's no difference between hitler of germany and eugene talmage of georgia. there's no difference. so we see them making this similar juxtaposition in terms of the position of african-americans in the united states. randolph sees a lot of pressure, a lot of intense pressure to call off this march in the name of national unity. hey, what are you doing? we can't do this now. we've got to come together as a nation. we've got to come together as a collective so we can beat the axis powers, so we can beat germany, so we can

long embraced this kind of agenda this connecting racism at home to racism abroad is connecting jim crow and white supremacy in the united states to imperialism and to colonialism and to the war agenda but because of cold war pressures and other pressures because of this emphasis on respectability much of the mainstream civil rights movement had avoided those kind of international cheeks and discourses so so king's real embrace of this more radical this more global agenda of justice was really was really remarkable. you know and we should also we should also say that listen there's a reason why we have a pacified king there's a reason why we're here just a very short clip from the march on washington speech in one thousand nine hundred sixty three and we don't hear about beyond vietnam we don't hear about the poor people's campaign where king is going for a massive mobilization of poor people of all colors to converge on d.c. and demand a basic transformation of the american economy and that is that there are as has been suggested there are very powerful interests that benefit from can s

michelle alexander's book, "the new jim crow," amazing book. everyone should read it.were actually having this discussion on air the other night where we are in a place where african-american women are becoming the next largest group of prison -- populated in prisons, and i think that it is important that we press our elected representatives, again, to make the change. we need criminal justice reform. we need to come up with a standard across the board for policing. we need to help communities and police come together. organizations like operation blue shield and others in texas are doing that, they're bridging the gap and the divide so that people are talking to one another, so that they are working together, and i think that when our politicians understand that when you have a large segment of a population, african-american men in prison like this, it devastates not just that population but children don't have fathers, women don't have husbands, communities don't have economic viability and a tax base. so it is something that just rolls downstream in a very negative

book, "theexander's new jim crow", great book. where in a place african-american women are becoming the next group of population in prison. it is important that we press our elected representatives to make the change. we need criminal justice reform --oss the board for policing we need police to come togethe operation blue shield others in texas are doing that. they are bridging the gap and the divide so that people are talking. so that they are working together and i think that when our politicians understand that when you have a large segment of a population of african-american men in prisonlike as it devastates not just that population but children do not have fathers. women do not have husbands. there is no economic viability in the tax base. their roles downstream in a negative way. we need reform. it is a serious issue. host: is the mentality changing amongst republicans and outside groups to make those changes? guest: i think you see people like rand paul in others -- more moderate leaning, some conservative, the heritage f

here lies jim crow. a funeral service for jim crow that took place on the street. the social inequities. jim crow, racial and jane crow sexual apar tide, voting and economic disparities. black ministers different from their white counterpart encountering the religious lives of their own people and the laws that constrict the lives of their people. it is important to note that for a while, not now, but for a while the cleary were the most educated people in the united states. so we forget in the 19th century that many of the people who were educated were clergy. this is why moorehouse college was the baptist seminary. >> and spellman was the seminary baptist for women. and they would take their place in leadership. of course, we have now gone over and over again the institutional parameters of the african method of the church, these were the educated people and normally your educated people become leaders, spokespersons and whatever the case may be. because we created indigenous institutions, because of the institutions, that the politics of black people learn polit

before we took on countering segregation, we knew that jim crow was tough. that we were going to do whatever was necessary. so if the road to defeat jim crow went through the jailhouse, we were going to go there. if it went to getting beatin' up, if it went to even sacrificing our live, we were going to do that. and i certainly got the courage from -- and i think other people did -- from each other. the people i worked with were so brave and so strong and so committed and so courageous. i certainly didn't want to let them down. and i think that's the way we felt about each other. so that cohesion and love for each other i think is a major -- the major factor. >> ms. newsom, people know of the significant gesture you made in regard to the confederate flag. but what they -- amen. but what they may not know is that grows out of a deep and abiding sense of radical opposition to not only the status quo, but to forces of white supremacy that have seduced others to participate while you made a dramatic gesture to resist. tell us what the tradition that produced you

they ignored the stuff that was actually taking over the south, jim crow laws. are going to be reading article about a revenue agent, which is what the real legacy of reconstruction was. the only legal pulse of the federal government leaves is trying to please moonshine. it plays into the stereotypes. .he's -- peaceat they are all playing on imagery about the south that is going to become controversial in the establishment of nascar as well. at the end of reconstruction, what the revenue service more than there are 2000 moon shine stills operating in the mountain south that they thing about.y that is a lot-- of money in 1879 dollars. this is connected to something out telling you about on monday. what the market revolution creates in addition to roads and transportation networks. life where thec north is going to build schools, libraries. what you need to do all this stuff? where does that go? you need tax revenue. how many people here have paid taxes? sales tax in new orleans, you pay as you pay. it doesn't feel good. it's like, that is my money and it is going

the fight is over since one thousand nine hundred sixty eight and king's work that helped destroy jim crow laws the civil rights movement has done much to level the playing field of life for african-americans but what's particularly disturbing is how far we truly sit from a place of racial equality and the proof is in the numbers according to the bureau of labor statistics since one nine hundred sixty eight rates of unemployment were twice as high for african-americans meaning being poor and white is twice as lucrative as being poor and black studies have revealed a job applicants with surnames that are perceived as black are fifty percent less likely to get a positive response than white sounding surnames but this is america right anyone regardless of race should be able to grow rich if they just try hard right or wrong the or. urban institute come data from a survey of consumer finances and found that the average wealth of white families was over seven hundred thousand dollars higher than the average wealth of black families shortly before his assassination in one nine hundred sixty eigh

but now we have jim crow junior and starbucks is more sophisticated and the rules are different forng black men. you can't sit there and get free wi-fi, you're loitering. with chikesia, you don't get free utensils we ash trashly give utensils who we want to give them to. all of this, they are assaulting this young lady's character and we have to look at this waitress's questionable past. waffle house has justified this based on her presentation and we want you to look deeper at that. the last thing i'll say, reverend al, we have young white men who have been confirmed as mass murderers get more consideration and more respect from police officers than this unarmed black woman. as long as i have -- we have to stand up for our unarmed black women. >> i think that's the point, jamil, yes, starbucks stepped up and doing some things and waffle house trying to justify this. when i talk about the utensils compared to the value of chikesia, the police in philly, the police in alabama, seem to have this view that we don't matter, we have no rights. there's no worth worthiness there of respect

they were stories about his boyhood, about what it had been like to crisscross the jim crow south as a trial lawyer. often, fearing physical danger mobs,ants, the police -- the police. they were terrible stories, a lot of them paired -- a lot of them. at the same time, he was so darn funny in his facial expressions and his intonations. at aimes, you are laughing horrible story but it was an unforgettable experience that -- experience. both the content and just listening to a master storyteller. told,all the stories you the stuff that sticks in my mind today is the physical courage of being a criminal defense attorney in mississippi, western florida, and the physical risk he took. he told a story about almost getting lynched. he told stories about clients getting lynched. he told stories about being tucked into the backseat of a car to be driven to the supporters home. site unseen. sometimes moving in the middle the night to be unseen. an easyto us, what is way to tell if a confession has been coursed? -- coerced? he said, ask how big was the cop? always joke about sleep next to -- th

they come and see randy parish like coming back intact because they have that jim crow mentality we all had made jim. the african american is less of a man especially the male is less of a man. he wants to change that. the federal investigation is the first step. but eventually in prison declines all interview requests. the sheriff isn't interested in not seeing any questions. the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the us average and ten times higher than germany which makes it a world record. each of the sixty four sheriffs manages his own prison. and they are elected by fervent supporters. they don't owe any explanation to anyone. for every prisoner the state pays twenty four dollars a day. the sheriff used that money as they see fit. we leave to meet one of these powerful men next stop the forced parish one hundred thousand residents in cajun country. illegally good work this morning the sheriffs asking about any you come as. and we have no one the process this morning right how many have your process so far. it's ok and how many you have left the process just two more

if we read the new jim crow, the story is one that doesn't include the story of those women .o the goal of that was to tell more stories, to fold more stories into the next, not just add them but see how that changed the gumbo. how does that actually change how we understand things? so what make visible black women's experiences of driving while black jan the notable exception ofsandra bland . we see a woman named ayala aramis who was pulled over for driving while black. when we see the stories of the women of ferguson the year before mike brown was killed, the population and had the most traffic stops was black women of any other population. when we see the stories that just came out of st. louis as part of a study that showed the only group of people in which the majority of people are killed and they are on our our black women. so back to the police officers are more likely to perceive black women falsely as a threat than any other group . so what do those stories tell us? and i think it really helps us to better understand his narrative of what it means to be black in amer

they were stories about what it had been like to crisscross the jim crow south as a trial lawyer. you know, often fearing physical danger from mobs, from the police. i mean, they were terrible stories. a lot of them. but he also was a great comic story teller. and a great comic generally. he was so darned funny in his facial expressions and his intonations. and sometimes you were kind of laughing and you thought what am i laughing about? this is a horrible story. but it was an unforgettable experience. both the content of the stories he had to tell and just, you know, listening to a master story teller tell them. >> i'll elaborate on that. of all the stories he told, which spanned brown and the legal theorizing and strategizing that got there, the stuff that sticks in my mind today is the physical courage of being a criminal defense attorney in, you know, mississippi, alabama, western florida. and the physical risk he took. he told a story about almost getting lynched once himself. he told a story about clients who were lynched. he told of arriving at bus or train stations and hav

later in the show i'll talk about the historical legacy of jim crow one of which is the continued celebrationrals and leaders, traitors who formed a white supremacist terrorist state dedicated to more. and many states in and out of the old confederacy either removed or proposed removing the con fedderat memorials that sprouted almost every time black americans made gains in the 20th century. but one southern state wasn't having it. alabama, the heart of dixie and the home of the confederacy first capitol and so that end is republican governor kay ivy signed the alabama memorial preservation act of 2017. a legislative end around to protect public monuments more than 40 years old. now up for re-election, governor ivy released this ad on tuesday. >> up in washington, they always know better. politically correct nonsense, i say. when special interests wanted to tear down or historical monuments i said no and signed a law to protect them. i went change our erase our history, but here in alabama we know something washington doesn't. to get where we're going means understanding where we've been. >>

so you had separate bathrooms separate schools churches down to water fountains that each kind of jim crowlaws were on the one hand challenged and courts repeatedly by african-american civil rights organizations and slowed down after world war two were challenged in courts at the same time. laws were designed exactly to keep african-americans from voting and participating in the process like literacy tests and that was is what dr king was fighting against to give them for african-americans a voice in political processes it's really hard for many to imagine what that was like in the united states of that time after the second world war where black or african-american served in the second world war also valiantly how did african-americans continue to face institutionalized racism if you will discrimination even after the end of slavery in the u.s. how was that possible threat you mention their contribution to the world wars because african-american served in segregated units with white leaders so there was not an integrated on me until one thousand nine hundred eighty eight in the united sta

and think about the really shameful history that our country has of race discrimination and jim crow south and the individuals in that era, when they traveled across the country had to carry green books because they had to know where they could stop to eat and survive in our political and economic societies. that's something that was a serious problem. something we created to address to accommodation laws. no one dispute, jack was saying i'm not willing to serve lgbt people and that would be a different case. under the supreme court precedent. that's not what is going on. jack is telling couple. i will sell you anything in this shop, i cannot create this custom designed message. and i think it's absolutely fair to recognize the interests and no one i knows is happy that this hurt the feelings of this gay couple. but if we want to talk about harm, think about the holocaust survivors in the supreme court case in scokey. they still have tattoos on their body from the mistreatment they received during nazi germany. all of the loved ones in some instances were gone and they said their dig

he wasn't familiar with the dark heart and the social taboos of the jim crow south. >> black people and white people interacted only on a transactional basis, but they were largely two different worlds. you'll stick to your own kind, we'll stick to our own kind. >> one day emmett and his cousins go into town, and they go to a little grocery store, bryant's grocery store. and something happens inside. according to carolyn bryant, the wife of the proprietor, the woman who ran the store, emmett till, alone in the store with her, comes on to her and whistles at her. four days later, bryant's gun-toting husband and brother-in-law went looking for the boy at his uncle's house. >> and mose wright begs him to leave him alone, "please don't take him." but they take him, and he never returns. he's thrown into the tallahatchie river with a 70-pound cotton gin fan attached to his neck with a barbed wire. >> reporter: a few days later, a boy fishing in the river discovered a body-beaten beyond recognition. >> the body was so badly damaged that we couldn't hardly just tell who he was, but he happened

where my uncle jim crow combines them it looks like she's flying. her favorite figure is the pistol. she devises many of her moves in the tunnel cause she has a completely different sense of husbandly when she's. like that i don't know on the ground i'm really. so we're flying it's not like you don't you can't translate anything from ground to fly there's no like skills that except things like flexibility she was inspired to take home a sport by her father a huge fan of extreme sports. meyer joined him for her first parachute jump when she was just ten years old. the father supported her from the beginning this sport isn't. exactly cheap fifteen minutes in the wind tunnel cost up to seventy euro's in poland maya has been training several times a week since she was thirteen and all skydiving has become the focus of her family's life for those of the systems goes on the slopes but i do this sport to. most of ship so i try to accompany a liar every step of the way you know going to the so you know i take care of the organizing and i'm kind of like her

think fast literature that would make two types of contributions with black heroism as a counter to jim crow but also reveal true religion or true christianity and with his political landscape flashing forward to an essay and his blueprint for negrori writing and to argue that black riders at the time i got to take the place of the mantle once occupied that would more adequately orient black people in the world with the complexities of what needs to be black in the unitedto states and then if we jump through the 60s the negro riders conference and afterwards to which she coed it in with the process of spiritual integration to move towards wholeness. then to open the conversation to see how they locate themselvesur from that black literary tradition or how they wrestle with healing in their own work. >> i have that on envy and a ball the question first. when i start to talk about my book one of the first questions is what is the first name that comes to mind with police patel eddie? times have changed but usually across generations but almost universally male like rodney king. oscar grant. fr

were african-american and how that was snatched away violently so through lynchings and through jim crowes in segregation and so the step backward that brie was talking about is the story of being black in america and so you have to remain vigilant and you have to remain aware, and i remember i was working in ohio when president obama was elected in the campaign and i was so e lated and we won ohio and we knew we won the presidency and i walked outside and a middle-aged wide person was taking his trash down the driveway and said to me, i guess racism is over now, kind of disgruntled and so i knew even then that we were going to have a tou time ahead, you know? and that's really what it is to be black in america. to be sober and understand history and to be pushing forward even when you have some success. so let's take this excerpt of a speech that dr. king made about a year before he was assassinated and these are very pointed comments that he made about the state of society for blacks in america. >> let us be dissatisfied until the tragic walls that separate the outer city of comfort fro

when oklahoma becomes a state, becomes a jim crowe state, black and white, separate schools, separateansportations, separate facilities and the grandfather clause is passed. a period to which you were talking about which you have over 2,000 local elected officials to appoint in the u.s. south and subsequently in oklahoma where there's no voting happening on behalf of african americans. so, yeah, part of the story. >> thank you, and another that i heard, a comment, i will come over to ethan after i frame this a little bit is kendra's point and we hear this in both work the idea of black people in motion, what do i mean by that, one of the first things that we learned about politics is people can vote with their feet. we hear during this period that black people are deeply constrained especially around ability to move at the very least and later with emancipation the idea that you can move about freely, it brings up the idea about great migration and one thing that kendra offered at the beginning of our comment is that we tend to think of great migration and movement of black people beg
