for 300 years africans were brought here in chains a slave labor i'm heading to jackson mississippi in the deep south to meet some of the descendants of those 1st african-americans because it seems that their history lines at the heart of the story of islam in america. this impressive looking building is actually the state capital of mississippi and i'll be honest i've come with my own really strong preconceptions about the south for me it's about being in the hearts of the bible belt it's about prejudice and the history of segregation but actually being told that the story of islam in america begins of all places here centuries before. and it's a story that begins with slavery. it's. starts here because most of the slaves shipped from africa came to work the plantations of the south among them when muslims. forbidding from practicing their faith they found secret ways to keep islam alive calling the faithful to pray here in mississippi is abdul rashid he believes that one way they achieve this was through. the africans brought believes it here as slaves people and blues came from miss

let's look at just one hospital on the brink the university of mississippi medical center in the capital of jackson, the only level one trauma center in the state, the only children's hospital in the state, the only hospital in the state that can perform organ transplants. it is completely full. as of this afternoon, 17 people were waiting to get into an icu bed. eight patients still don't have a bed at all in el paso, someone dies of covid in that one area every 75 minutes. the situation there is so bad in the county, it brought in more freezer trucks to hold the dead. but hope is on the way, as 12 texas hospitals got the vaccine today. nbc's valerie castro leading off our news at the bottom of the hour outside one of those hospitals in el paso valerie, how did the vaccine rollout go there >> reporter: well, good evening, shepard. there was a lot of excitement and anticipation earlier today waiting for the u.p.s. truck to arrive here at the university medical center in el paso. it finally got here just after 10:00 a.m. local time. 2,900 doses were delivered after a portion of those were allowed to

jackson? yes. 1830, he wanted to remove all native people, west of the mississippi. oklahoma was one of the states. those agents came around here, too. they wanted us out west in oklahoma. and there was one non-native voice that stood up. his name was john adams. he said, if you bring these people out west, they are going to die. the reason they will die is they rely onseafood for their diet, and they believed him. that is why we were left alone. the last two they say, it indians in nantucket, who knows? that was the perspective of some people's lenses. they died within several weeks. what else do we got here? this is kind of cool, right here. we might be doing this next year. seriously. we just got a 40-footwhite pine log. we are going to make a 20-man boat. this picture is from 2002 in martha's vineyard. back in the 90s, right, i have been at the museum for a while. >>> we all wanted to stay on this big 30 foot boat. we looked at each other and said let's raise for each other. we took the to 12 foot boats. he took one and i took another and went across the river. w

jackson in 1820 was an absolute game changer in that policy . he ran on the indian question by pushing indians used or rather west of the mississippi. this was presented as a humanitarian solution to rescue indians from extinction so what evidence did proponents have for this andhow was that framed ? >> this is a fascinating part of the story i should preface it by saying at the outset that people have been dispossessed of their land from the first moments they set foot on the continent and between the founding of the republic and 1830, lots of native peoples were dispossessed and they lost thousands of pages of their land but until that act was passed in 1832 was no formal consistent federal policy to dispossess native people. there wasn't a significant moment in the history of relations between native people and the united states. but to get this act, this piece of legislation through congress, the advocates of the policy needed to find allies and needed to find allies more than they needed to put up a good front. they couldn't say we want their land in our mississippi . instead they had to say this was the best thing for them if

you guys have heard of president jackson. 1830, he wanted to remove all native people on the east coast, which he did, west of the mississippi. oklahoma was one of the states for relocation. the reason i bring this up is the agents came around here, too, for wampanoag people. they wanted us out west to oklahoma. and there's one nonnative voice that stood up. his name being john quincy adams. he said if you bring these people out west, they're going to die. the reason they're going to die is because they rely on seafood in their diet, and they believed him. that's why we were left alone. the last two indians of nantucket, who knows? that was some people's lens. they died within seven weeks apart. what else do we got here? this is kind of cool right here. we might be doing this next year out here, seriously. we've got a 40-foot white pine log which we're going to make a 20-man boat. it's going to be the largest boat in new england. this picture is from a paddle we made in 2002 to martha's vineyard. we landed over tisbury. back in the '90s, we always say, okay, we used to make paddles to nantucket and paddles to the vineyard. e

mississippi and the federal government to pay for and supervise this operation. there were a few folks from the early presidential administration who there was some quiet opposition but jackson quickly forced them out and appointed loyalist in their place, the congress and certainly who in both parties who opposed indian removal but jackson had a tremendous amount of pressure on them and there are stories, congressman in pennsylvania that said jackson went around in the political careers of these people and this is going to be the end of your career, it's a single most important issue in the congress reports it is frightening and the threat, it's a tremendous amount of arm-twisting and wheeling and dealing behind-the-scenes and by a mere five votes out of 199 cast on the house it barely squeaked through and that's with the congress overwhelmingly taxed. tina: the southern also needed bankers in new york city in boston and london as it turned out because you trailed the money to bankroll this expulsion and you refer to them as a northern of the southern planters and how the money was made and spent is one powerful player that comes up joseph d beard, who was he and why was pe
