this is, again, before brown versus board of education and before james meredith ended up becoming the first known african-american student there. he became field secretary for the naacp in mississippi and he roamed the state of mississippi, put about 40,000 miles a year on his oldsmobile. and so he went to naacp branches, tried to recruit members. he got involved in voting rights. he was involved in the protests and sit-ins that took place in downtown jackson. he wasn't involved in the sit-in but he was involved in the organization of students. we have one of them here with us tonight, joan trompauer is with us tonight.

brown, i should know, coming up in "morning joe" shortly. there's a trend here of some of the more moderate democrats winning the races. first of all, jameswe saw eric adams in new york city, terry mccullough in the democratic primary field in virginia. there are several others. that's who's winning votes, and it's interesting that primaries tend to draw the most passionate voters, which are usually identified in the more liberal side. that's not who's winning here. >> that's why they feel good about. they have a lot to worry about this week. as you look at trying to hold on to a super narrow majority in the house, narrow majority in the senate. this is making the west wing feel good. >> and certainly, though, the progressives got a message with the eviction moratorium. the white house got the heat knowing they have to keep everyone in line for the reconciliation bill that's coming. one thing the white house is not thrilled about is having to wade into the situation in new york state with governor cuomo. we heard biden yesterday, cuomo, biden, long-term allies, i would not call it a full throated call for cuomo to resign. he says the pres

to be out there talking about it for the black and brown communities are people that matter to those communities. so j z and beyonce and lebron jameshat a big deal it was when nba players had one shot and not the second shot and then protocols and it's confusing. this is a confusing disease and you say it's a terrible sequel, the delta variant. it's really terrible, though, when -- i'm not calling it the desantis strain but there are thousands and thousands and thousands of people who are now hospitalized in florida, and a lot of them children. and this is what 20% of the new cases of delta are amongst children and that's why it's so important that adults are getting vaccinated, that you do your part and you do that to protect your children who are not approved to have the vaccine yet. so i'm all for a full court press on the vaccination fronts, but i do agree, if he wants to have a party, he should have it outside, where we know it doesn't get outside. >> so was sturgis, sturgis was also outside. >> i don't know if anyone watched bill maher, he shouted out lollapalozza which was a hundred thousand people and i appreciate that from

brown drew the support of such institutions as the congressional black caucus and representative jamesho visited the district and implored people to vote for ms. brown as someone who was respectful and willing to work with other democrats. many criticized turner openly, like representative bennie thompson of mississippi who referred to ms. turner as a single solitary know it all. brown's victory is a sign of a recent trend following moderate eric adams recent women over progressives in the new york city mayoral race. terry mccall lif's victory, and biden's win in the presidential primary. shontel brown, good to have you. >> congratulations, this must be such an exciting time for you. for a long time, this was seen as nina turner's race to lose. she was ahead in early polling by big margins. how did you do it? how did you win last night? >> well, thank you very much for having me this morning. i think that this was -- this came down to results. i have been a legislator for nine consecutive years here in the district, so if all politics is local, i am as local as it gets. long before we
