i don't want you thinking this came by the naacp easily. you all know how many of the og christians sitting up in here, not in here, but don't want to face the fact that you are our children, our community. if one person is wronged in this community and we don't stand up for them, all of them are wronged. there is not a person in here who cannot say that they don't have someone from this community in their family. if they are in denial, they are making a big mistake. i started out saying i was going around because i was working on a proposition in california. everyone i spoke to was white. i would say, where are the african-americans? it is just like the rest of america, leaving out my community. nationally -- luckily, the national black justice coalition started. i used to go to church and say if you're not going to preach to the choir anymore, there wouldn't be anybody left. some took that to heart. that is not how you win. you win by bringing them in, one by one. i want to thank the national naacp for finally coming to terms. how long di

luckily, the naacp started. i used to say to a few blacks that i spoke to if you are not going to church and preaching to the choir anymore, there wouldn't be anybody left. some folks took that to heart. the started attacking the black clergy. but that is not how you win. you win by bringing them in one by one. i want to thank the naacp for finally coming to terms. mr. chairman, how long did it take us to get same-sex marriage, five years? >> took about a year but before that we probably have bounced the issue around for five years. >> when we took the position to support same-sex marriage, it was wonderful. the members felt good. we all felt good. i say to all of you, and the chairman will speak in a minute, i will sit down. love has no color. we blacks or the one who got the hoses and got killed. but, if a right is a right, a right is a right. the matter who you are. the naacp will stand up with you and for you and that is what we did when we took the position on same-sex marriage, so you can get your right th

so the local naacp puts the stamp on it. the press says the local naacp is doing it. people like the governor in georgia are fit to be tied. these outsiders messing with our schools. he doesn't know his problem is down the street. [laughter] his real problem is down the street. and so, if you look in the at the irwinngress county branch records, they are 1949 not doing anything any different than most of the other local branches. having a baby contest. they see their job is to get the money, right, and they are working with the educators, but there is nothing in the file about the school suit that may cost millions. what is happening here? [laughter] it is a trick. read rare children story, but educators used it as strategy. the agent is never exactly what you see. this particular point, i think, is extraordinarily important for us to think about. mr. hunt, the state executive director before mr. harper, said black people are victims of people who do crooked thinking. and if we are victims of people who do crooked thinking, we need to do straight thinking. many to fig

so, the local naacp puts its stamp on it. the press says the local naacp is doing it.people like governor talmage in georgia is fit to be tied saying they're messing with our school, he doesn't know his problem is down the street. his real problem is down the street. and so, if you look in the library of congress at the erwin county 1949 branch records . they are doing anything any different than many of the other branches. they have a baking contest, they see their job is to get money and they are working with the educators. but there's nothing in the file about the school suit that may cost millions. see, white children read rare rabbit as a story. black educators used it as practice. support for us to think about. the state executive director said black people are victims of people who do cricket inking. -- cricket thinking. and if we are victims of people who do crooked thinking we need to outmaneuver them. let's look at one more. black educators argued that the segregation, and i lifted in 1970, and as i have benefited from it as follows. that black desegregation

you opposed his appointment to the federal bench when you were at the naacp. you were opposed to his appointment as attorney general. who say you now that he is in the cross hairs of the president? >> well, i feel for him and his position. i wouldn't wish that on any attorney general. i think he's being mishandled by his boss, and i think you know,

i am the former national president of the naacp. a dad to two kids. the son of two maryland public school teachers whose marriage was against the law 52 years ago because she is black, he is white. i am running for governor because i have a vision. a vision that comes out of my experience, building small businesses and to big businesses across our state and across our country. a vision and a plan, a plan to make sure that we finally fully fund our schools, keep the broken -- deep the broken comp -- promise on the casino money to make sure teachers are respected and paid better. make sure we get health care costs under control. one is driven no to poverty for using their health care. our economyo get going again. and do what i do everyday day, building more inclusive, robust 21st century economy. folks will tell you the things i want to do are hard. they are right. nothing worth doing is easy. i was named person of the year by the baltimore sun, because in one year, i led the success to abolish the delph -- the death penalty. while helping pass marriag

used to be a building that had started out as a social club and later was the headquarters of the naacp, the american committee for protection of the foreign-born, which as we know our federal government very interested in today, and an organization called freedomhouse which willkie cofounded with eleanor roosevelt and others which still exists today. it proclaims a clear voice for democracy and freedom around the world. the building was apparently torn down in the dead of night in the 1980s to become a bank, and some rogue conservator saved the plaque and slapped it up on our building. i don't know how it got there, but there it is. so this is a perfect place. we're very excited. >> [inaudible] >> i made it all up, it's not true. [laughter] now if you'll indulge me for a couple more minutes, i would love to direct your attention to printed programs that, hopefully, all of you have in your hands. just a couple of things to point out specifically. one is that you will see upcoming programmings in this building, both free and less free over the next couple months. they're all good. we'll

so i called my friends over at the naacp, the head of the naacp. i said look, and they didn't know what i was going to do but i wanted to get it right because when i go and ask a question, it's researched. i talk to the people involved, i go and google it and find out other stories about it, i try to be as knowledgeable on a subject that i can be to present it to you and ask the questions so there won't ever be a gotcha moment. so when i talked to the head of the naacp, he said to me it's simp simple. the definition of a racist which i have been called and it's not true, i'm called a race baiter. i'm like i'm not a race baiter. but the definition of a racist is so simple. it's the intersection or meeting of power and prejudice. that's simple. so the next day, the next day, in the roosevelt room, ben carson's in there -- stop. secretary ben carson. from baltimore. great surgeon. johns hopkins. remember that. all right now, guys. look, he came out, he supported me. i got to say this, he supported me when lynn patton of hud called me miss piggy. i'm l

by author argues that opening up people to threats of themidation -- she notes in 1960's, the naacp had to list donorsonors, and the may be up to threats for people who did not the -- did not agree with the naacp. it is a way to undermine free speech. guest: thank you for that question. gain, whene and time a it comes to the most political of activities, there are rules say candidates need to disclose their donors, the spenders of these overt political advertisements need to helpsse donors, and that people assess the information that they are seeing in tv ads. we know the supreme court has said repeatedly that transparency helps the public assess the information they see in these ads. they want the public to be a will to assess the credibility of the message and the messenger. one of the things that former supreme court justice antonin scalia said was that when it comes to per -- to publicpation in the arena like this, speaking out for your viewpoint that demonstrates the courage and having that engagement makes america the home of the brave and the land of the free. being able to get u

a paterfamilias kind of the guy and one of the founders of the naacp in cleveland. he had a federal government job as a meat inspector and he let everybody know that he wasn't going to accept second-class citizenship. they also moved beyond the bounds of segregated cleveland and into sort of an early version of an affluent neighborhood. after his sight was completely lost, the family relocated again to cleveland to this house on everton avenue. as they went through the sides quite quickly, you know by the time you get to sort of the mid-1920s, cleveland is the sixth largest metropolis in the united states. it was big city. chester himes grew up in a small country towns, you know, not so far from vicksburg and mississippi. he's lived for a little while in augusta georgia. st. louis was a big city, but maybe a smaller neighborhood and heavily industrialized cleveland his family bought a house in a jewish neighborhood in many of the northeastern and midwestern cities as a pattern of migration. african-americans followed jewish americans into somewhat suburban neighborh

but i was tracking the legislation that the naacp was following for civil and human rights. after i graduated from college, i became a flight attendant for delta airlines. i just kind of fell into flying. i really did love it though because of my love for travel and getting to know people from different cultures and ethnicities, and i loved, you know, learning about different foods and just traveling around the world. that was what i did. i have a very good friend right here that actually saw me become a flight attendant. i was working with her first, and then i became a flight attendant for delta airlines for 30 years. and be in that time -- and in that time i would vote for all of the elections, for the midterm elections, for the, you know, the general elections, and i didn't want really begin to volunteer until president obama's election. then i started making phone calls and doing phone banking. november 23, 2012, i was in chicago with my family having thanksgiving dinner. and i received a phone call from jordan's father that our only son had been shot and killed unneces

they increase their membership by sixfold in the naacp.any of those members, veterans from world war i. they dedicated themselves to equality in that sense. it is not just african-american soldiers that we are talking about. beginning in 1910 you have a movement of african-americans moving north. roughly before then most lived in the south and rural areas. but then it shifted to the north both for job opportunities and to escape the jim crow south. the war accelerates that. you shut down immigration, which had been the life blood but you ship off 2 million soldiers to go overseas. so you need new labor. they move and they get jobs in st. louis and then there working with middle-class whites. this creates conflict so you have things like the riots in east st. louis in 1917. and dozens of african-americans were killed and their neighborhoods were burned to the ground. you have here the naacp organizing a silent march in new york to protest. this really is important because you have this issue between 1917-1919. if they were unlucky enough to

reverend arnold townsend, although today, i am first vice president of the san francisco branch naacp. we met both these candidates. they appeared before us, and we unanimously supported them for this position. i can -- and like many others, i'm just getting to know miss taylor, but i know mr. buchter and am in strong support of him. san francisco's a place that people come to. i think most of there are a great -- i think most of the number of great people in this room were not born here. i was born in native american indian clinic because they didn't allow black people in the hospitals. i hope no one will hold that against me. i didn't go to high school in san francisco. i have been here 50 years, so while i wasn't born here, i had the good sense to move here, so that ought to give me some kind of credit, that obviously, i knew where to come to. i don't think that ought to be the only criteria that we use. when i look at all the other criteria, i measures up wonderfully, i and i think you would do -- and i think you and the city would do yourselves well to approve both these candidat

you opposed his appointment to the federal bench when you were at the naacp. you were opposed to his appointment as attorney general. who say you now that he is in the cross hairs of the president? >> well, i feel for him and his position. i wouldn't wish that on any attorney general. i think he's being mishandled by his boss, and i think you know, if he's not in the wheposition where either of them think they ought to be, then there are ways honorably to deal with that than a public -- >> flogging. >> flogging. but you know, my issues with jeff sessions go back to trying a case against him, voting rights case against him when i was at the legal defense fund. a criminal case that he brought against three of the people who helped organize the selma to montgomery march and they were trumped up charges at the time and we believed they were and we defended these three activists, and we won their acquittals. >> his policies as attorney general now, apart from his handling of some of the matters that have got into hot water with the president probably still displeas

back on the island in lake volta the naacp has already managed to treat more than forty patients next up is three year old to jane he has a high fever and is so weak he can't walk. a half an hour the rapid diagnostic for malaria was positive because that's how this now woman is and everything and. so for now we would take that in the boards so that. we leave that out here otherwise that's how. the intravenous infusions do jane urgently needs only available on the mainland but it'll be hours before he can join the doctor on the boat back until then the boy and his mother will have to wait at home. by late afternoon the knockers treated more than sixty people. many others will have to wait until his next visit. although please let's all get on to the water let's go he won't be back for four weeks finally do jane can head to the mainland for treatment he knocks hospital. laszlo. but first the boatman can easily spot the stumps in the water but it's getting darker by the minute. after what feels like an eternity the boat arrives. want to do jan gets to the hospital he'll have a good chanc

accept your thought is decisions but it really makes you wonder what is this boy and about and from the naacp and five hundred police officers were relocated to a demonstration in chemists with insufficient manpower to police both advance the football game could not take place is right and i'm disappointed i'm an august it's a football match where people meet up to have fun on the fly and. there's been more movement in the table this week than in adults ballots all through three tied by involves books and have to emerge as the top three maximum points in the process they probably don't mention that fact and frank but respectively the lower half also has lots of ups and downs well it is only match they too right even then shocker leipzig and leverkusen with a combined tally of one paltry point as a bit of a shock and finally we present our match to a moment when that hurts to even watch so brace yourselves. trying to speak. i. challenge again. after this massive play usually have lincoln was unconscious for sixty five long seconds. he has been bashed to hospital. and that was until his foul co

so i called my friends over at the naacp. the head of the naacp, i said look they didn't know what i was going to do, but i wanted to get it light because when i go and ask is the question, it's researched. i talked to people involved. i find out other story about it and knowledgeable about a subject i can be to present it to you and ask question withs so it won't ever be a got you moment. so -- what i talked to ahead of the aacp he said it is simple. the definition of a racist which i have been called and it is not true -- call it a race bear not saying i am. but definition of a race is so simple -- if the intersection or meeting of power and prejudice. that simple. so the next day, the next day -- [laughter] in the roosevelt room -- ben carson is in there, stop. [laughter] secretary ben carson great surgeon, remember that -- all right now guys. look he came out and he supported me i got to say this. he supported me when -- when lynn called me ms. pig piggy yeah because i asked mr. president are you a racist but i want to sa
