so when, in fact, you lift up a platform for a new deal for african-americans, in a room without african-americanswith a platform and on a platform without specifics, you insult our intelligence and literally demean our character. so the fact of the matter is, this campaign has veered morally off course. i'm not entirely sure if it's ever been on course, but what i do know is it's offensive to most people in this country. >> he says the democratic service gives lip service to the african-american community every four years, but then does nothing really to help them. and in all of his speeches basically, he then says to the african-american community, i want your support, what do you have to lose? right now, he says you didn't walk down a street in some of the inner cities without getting shot. you hear him say that. >> yes, yes, we've heard mr. trump say this. when he asks the question, what do you have to lose? when you offer zero in terms of specifics and policy prescriptions that speak to the needles of the african-american community, in particular and america more broadly, it's a problem. and

african american relationship with nature and the evolution of african american environmental thought. the southeast region will be taking a closer look of the historical significance of dr. martin luther king and crow era. with stories and to connect them with those stories and also stories without the resistance that brought about the deseg grags of county schools. one of its research projects, northeast region will explore the region of reconstruction in the north ooex and ultimately the park will use that research to draw interpretative connections between park resources, reconstruction error themes and issues relative to contemporary society. issues such as the preva zif. identifying reconstruction sites and themes and this study to kus primarily on the occupied sale. in another study the northeast region turns a light on park service history by documenting racial segregation and units of the national park system in virginia during the jim crow and modern civil rights eras. according to the je og geograph. they're in the northeastern region. practice by some mps units established

the. >> less african-americans in poverty, less african-americans unemployed -- >> i've got to go. > do you have? >> i'm in major trouble right now. >> the last point i want to make don is this, i think it's dangerous to assert because barack obama was the first african-american president, he was just a president of the black people, and that he could only do things for black people. >> no one suggested that. >> pardon me. >> his administration has served all of america and has absolutely helped black people. >> yeah. i know people want to hear this conversation, but i have to deal with commercial breaks and i'm sorry. i'm already a minute into the next hour. appreciate it. great conversation we'll be right back. wildlife rescue workers open up a lot of dawn. tough on grease...yet gentle. dawn helps open... something even bigger. go to facebook.com, dawn saves wildlife. teachers, firefighters and nurss support prop 51. prop 51 repairs older schools and removes dangerous lead paint and pipes ensuring classrooms are safe for all students. for safe schools vote yes on 51.

the african-american outreach that he did for the new deal to african-americans was in north carolinanot the first time that he -- >> okay. >> you know, is there. he's been there before already and that's where it started. his new deal with african-americans. >> okay. simone, your thoughts on that? because democrats are out in force in states like north 3 carolina and really trying to rally the african-american vote. is there a comparison here? >> indeed. i really don't think there's a comparison here, carol. you know, the democrats have been actively working to earn the votes of african-american voters in this country. this new new deal, this new deal with african-american communities that was just referenced, i've never heard donald trump talk about that and i think that's part of the issue. but on the democratic side, secretary clinton and a whole host of hur gatts are storming these battleground states, are -- are -- are talking to communities where there's a barber shop, and the bible studies, really encouraging folks to get out to vote. this weekend in florida particularly is re

communities endure, then they begin to question how difficult it was for african-americans all acrosshe country to receive a good education in their community. here in topeka, though, if you looked at the schools just standing outside, you would be hard-pressed to determine whether white students or african-american students attended, because the school board did provide all the same materials that the white schools offered. what is mo interesting is they find out that after graduating from elementary school, african american students attended integrated middle and high schools because the law in kansas only permitted segregation in elementary schools with cities of more than 15,000. you had separate schools in topeka, and about a accident other communities in the early 1950s, but no other communities could lylely segregate their schools. why there were surge no supporter and obviously saw the justice of having to attend separate school, the african-american community also was very proud of their schools. these were excellent facilities. the teachers teaching in the classrooms like th

- african-american vote to do so. they fueled -- debuted new anti-american.st so a victory abroad would also need to have a victory at home against franklin roosevelt. professor ogline: yeah, these things are very, very much conflated. pointed out, the poll tax becomes a lightning rod for this controversy for a number of different reasons. he explained so much back taxes before being able to vote that many african-american voters could not afford to register to vote because they could not pay all of these back taxes. but the poll taxes also -- the poll tax is also doing something else at the same time. in addition to keeping african-americans from the polls, how else is the poll tax functioning? >> it is keeping poor whites from voting also. the people who could vote in the white primaries were a small group of the richer white americans, white southerners. good.sor ogline: and i cannot remember the statistics he gives right off the top of my head, but basically he is saying in large swaths of the american south, teen

that african-americans are connected with african descended people from around the world. he has a cartoon feature that appears in the courier regularly from the 1930s to the 1960s and well after he is dead the continues to run in its advocating a black centric point of history, a point of view of history that is not available anywhere else for the most part in america. he is going to carry this perspective with him when he goes and covers the war in ethiopia. you are not reading this type of news anywhere else. you are going to also see these newspapers because of the relentless pressure that they exert on the wrongness of segregation and because of their increasing popularity during this time, a sizable readership where they are informing 6 million or so people every week that the federal government during wartime will often try to censor these newspapers and realize that they just can't do it because the newspapers are too many and too powerful. they have too large of an audience so they realize that heavy-handed attempts to re-center the newspapers for the most part do

everyone here has written incredible histories of african american women in general and african american women slaves in particular. so in that respect i just think -- and having moved to the $20 bill is like we have clearly moved from the margins to the center in more ways than one. i think it's incredibly ironic it comes at a time when even african americans are talking about we don't need this history of slavery. why do we always have to go back there. in fact, some scholars are claiming or asking the question, why do we always start with the sail old tired story about slavery and while charles s. johnson for example has talked about the end of the african american narrative and how we need a new story. no, there's so much about african americans and african american women and we need to just keep recovering that old story. we have time. for those of you that did not come in at the time we're using the cameras here. so cspan is taping this. it will air november 1st starting at 8:00 p.m. eastern standard time if you're in another time zone but, you know, or another state, i guess perha

the galleries celebrate not only african-american equality but african-american greatness.lause ] i cannot help but note that a huge influence in my teenage years is honored here, the great chuck berry. or my baseball idol growing up in far west texas, the great willie mays. and, of course something i never really mastered, the ability to give a good speech but thurgood marshall sure could. as some of you may know, i'm a fledgling painter, a struggling artist. i have a new appreciation for the artist whose brilliant works are displayed here, people like robert duncanson, henry oswald tanner, charles henry austin. our country is better and more vibrant because of their contributions and the contributions of millions of african-americans. no telling of american history is neither complete nor accurate without acknowledging them. the lesson of this museum is that all americans share a past and a future. by staying true to our principles, righting injustice and encouraging the empowerment of all, we will be an even greater nation for generations to come. i congratulate all thos

interface african americans are living in hell. you walk down the street and you get shot. >> listen to how he talks about us. >> i have a great relationship with the blacks. look at my african-american over here. >> but we should not be surprised. mr. trump: president obama has been the most ignorant president in our history. >> while he is the meaning our community, a larry clinton has in fighting for us -- hillary clinton has been fighting for us. mrs. clinton: we cannot get to where we need to be unless we upk together and stand against prejudice and paranoia, because i truly believe we are stronger together. >> it is almost time to vote in pennsylvania. find out where to vote at iwillvote.com. mrs. clinton: i am hillary clinton, presidential candidate, and i approve this message. candidates are seeing what you found out in your survey, that black clinton supporters are voting for her, 49% say they're voting for her, 51% say they are voting against donald trump. could it be that both camps are looking at those numbers? sure, an

west african community. there was actually on this floor a column which is the column that was the inspiration for this and if you were to look at it, you would see a three-tiered crown. that was the inspiration for this particular corona of the building. as we put 60% abobelow corona, which i think was good. the other portion of this which was inspirational in terms of maintaining the idea of having the monument grounds coming all the way through is that the entire base of the building was glass. and that is to make sure that you feel like the washington monument grounds continues right through the building and all the way over to 14th and constitution. so there are these great four pillars that really contain the structure and the core of the museum. everything else is supported from that so when you look to the outside and you see this wonderful corona and the structure that is there, it's basically coming off the top of the building through a vertical truss all the way down to the bottom, supporting thes

-- drum up recruitment among african-americans. shiphen dorie miller's went down in the south pacific, the u.s. navy was still a rigidly segregated organization, and despite miller's actions at pearl harbor, he had been promoted no more than cook first class -- third class. in life and death, dori miller was a symbol. a symbol of what? world war ii was a watershed of the limitations of the promises and racial reforms of the war years? as we talked about in some of our first classes, one of the biggest debates is over chronology and periodization. when did civil rights begin? was it during emancipation or was it later? this period lays a really key role in the way historians understand the modern black freedom struggle. it is clear the war years brought a lot of gains for civil rights, but also prove a profound disappointment to those hoping for lasting transformation in american race relations. in the most simple terms possible, it changed some things but failed to change others. understanding the how and why is where i think thing

poll tax was very effectivetive live in keeping african-ameri n african-americans away from the polls because it required you pay so much back taxes before you can vote that many perspective black american voters couldn't register to vote because they couldn't pay the back taxes. but the poll tax also -- the poll tax is also doing something else at the same time. in addition to keeping african-americans away from the polls, how else is the poll tax functioning? and what are they trying to hold on to there? >> the poll tax is also keeping poor whites from voting. as well. and so the white primary is mostly like the people who can vote in the white primaries are a small group of like richer white southerners. >> good. and i can't remember the statistics that ward gives right off the top of my head. basically he's saying that in large swathes of the american south, tiny percentages of eligible voters are actually voting in elections. >> the stick says in the poll tax states less than a quarter of adults voted. >> yeah. that's a shocking statistic. and what does that mean? if less than a

african american voters could make the difference. but this man feels he owes nothing to the president and won't vote clinton just to preserve obama's legacy. >> are you considering not voting? >> yeah. i am. >> reporter: friending considering not voting? >> oh yeah. a lot. >> what do they all tell you? what is the general feeling people don't want to go to the polls. >> it's a trust thing. they don't trust the candidates or what they are saying. feel like they are just being lied to do gain votes. >> reporter: and to all those suggesting hillary clinton will just be another four years of barack obama, her supporters here say bring it on. >> i think that she will support the same platform issues that he did. and i think that it would be a type of victory for what he was trying to accomplish in eight years. >> and randy joins us now from chapel hill, north carolina. what are voters you spoke with doing to get out the vote in their communities? >> one woman told me she has a ninety-year-old mother who lives in assisted living two hours

do you see, both african-americans and white, do you see african-americans as being lazy. do you see them as being violent or it resisting authority. it's astonishing to see how many people say yes to those types of questions. people are willing to admit that yes they have negative stereotypes of various stereotypes. a lot of people don't admit to it that they actually feel this way. there are close relationships between how whites perceive african-americans and how negative stereotypes are and are views of the criminal justice. the reason for that being is if icf can americans as violence or whatever, sure they end up in the penitentiary, but that's the way they should be, they need to be in the penitentiary more often. so it colors the way we see the system, our very perceptions of the fairness of the system. even though we were motivated to write this, we are seeing more incidents than we did back then. very high profile instances being killed by police officers just as we saw in the case of rodney king, we are seeing differences between whites and black, white, not alw

do you see both african-americans and white respondents by the way, do you see african-americans as being lazy? do you see them as being violent? do you see them being hostile? do you see them as respecting authority? it astonishing on one level to see how readily people say yes to those types of questions. people apparently willing to admit that yes, they have stereotypes, negative stereotypes of various minority groups. the real numbers are much higher than we found because a lot of people don't admit that actually feel this way. you are in many cases very close relationships between how whites perceive african-americans. had negative our stereotypes are of african-americans on the one hand and argues other criminal justice system, that the more negatively we tend to stereotype blocks, the more we see the system as being fair. the reason for that being that if i see african-americans violent, as they see them as whatever that i'm going to think sure, they end up in the penitentiary more often but that's the way should be. they need to be in the penitentiary more often. so it colors the

they were using african-americans and the african-american vote to do so.ew dealism was seen as anti-americanism. combining it with european fascist totalitarianism. a victory abroad but also indeed againstictory at home franklin roosevelt. jill: yeah, these two things are very much completed. the poll tax becomes a particular lightning rod for this controversy. for a number of different reasons. tax was very effective at keeping american -- and african-americans -- african-americans away from the polls. voters who were african-american wouldn't even try to vote because they could not pay these back taxes. but the poll tax also -- of the -- thex is also doing poll tax is also doing something else at the same time. how else is it functioning? what else are they trying to hold onto there? student: it was also keeping poor whites from voting as well. primary is mostly who are a small group of richer white southerners. jill: good. i can't remember the statistics given off the top of my head, but basically he's saying that in large swaths of the american ofth, t

and the african-american vote to do so.they knew new dealism as almost anti-americanism and started combining new dealism with europe fascist totalitarianism. so a victory abroad would need to have a victory at home against franklin roosevelt. >> yeah. these two things are very, very much conflated. and like greg pointed out, the poll tax becomes a lightning rod for this controversy for a number of different reasons. poll tax was very effective live in keeping african-americans away from the polls because it required you pay so much back taxes before you can vote that many perspective black american voters couldn't register to vote because they couldn't pay the back taxes. but the poll tax also -- the poll tax is also doing something else at the same time. in addition to keeping african-americans away from the polls, how else is the poll tax functioning? and what are they trying to hold on to there? >> the poll tax is also keeping poor whites from voting, as well. and so the white primary is mostly like the people who can v

which was the artistic west african community. there's actually in -- on this floor a column which is the column which was the inspiration for this and if you were to look at it you would see a three-tiered crown sitting on top of that column. it was carved in wood, but that was the first inspiration for the corona for this particular building. and as we moved 60% below ground and put 40% above ground, it allowed us then to put three levels back into the corona which, in the competition, we only had two levels of the corona which i think was good the other portion of this which was inspirational to the idea of having the monument grounds coming all the way through is that the entire base of the building was glass. and that is to make sure that you feel like the washington monument grounds continues right through the building and all the way over to 14th and constitution. so there are these great four pillars that really contain the structure and the core of the museum. everything else is supported from that so when you look to the

african-american woman who in the 18 20's and 1830's. she was a real pioneer in the education of african-american women in georgetown. not at georgetown college where they were excluded, but outside the gates. she has largely been forgotten. .ut she ought to be remembered one of the great african american historians of the 19th century called her one of the most remarkable people to live in the city. so we should remember her. if we want to do that, if we tot to create a memorial slavery at georgetown that will be an enduring monument to that history, we want to create historical times around the -- around the campus so that this history is no longer buried. archive,his incredible which scholars and the public can use to work through so many different aspects in the history of slavery. the georgetown's story is a microcosm of the whole history of slavery and emancipation in the united states. as we can see through one community. recommendedgroup descendents of the maryland jesuit slave community, though sent to louisiana and those who re

and also within the african-american community. bottom line is one of the things that i heard amarosa said to me several months ago was that as a community, she really believed that we have to at least listen to donald trump. and so i think people are doing that. and, yes, there are people -- there are african-americans who are voting for donald trump, but i think that there is no way to compare donald trump's outreach to the african-american community to for example george bush who i will say i sat down personally about in the white house, saw george bush sit down with a group of african-americans mostly ministers with very large demographic con statistic espn sis and said what can i do for your community. what are your concerns. and we stau translate into policy. he did more for hiv and aids in africa than any other president in u.s. history. i never saw a george bush or any he other president for that matter sit down and say your lives are terrible, you live in squaller, your education is horrible. everything about your life is

african-americans right here. that you are participation rate is about 22.7%. hispanics, about 1.8%. but if you go back and look at 2012, look at the drop-off right there. you have about a 5.3% drop-off in african-americans actually participating in the early vote right now. you've seen a slight uptick right now, anderson, when it comes to the hispanic vote. and of course, we see the it whoo vote right now, that has jumped up by about 3 percentage points, anderson. >> what about florida, where both campaigns are obviously spending a lot of resources. >> let's go down south as you speak about florida. this state right now is the one that has the largest amount of early ballots that have been sent back in. it's a little more than 2.4 million. who has the lead in florida right now? if you look at that, republicans have a very slight lead. it's about 16,000 ballots more than democrats. so good news, but it even gets better, if you go back to 2008, which is the comparative data we can use in this election with the state of florida, democrats at that time had a 73,00

the african-american vote is extremely down. all in the target states. north carolina down 6% compared to where it was in 2012. that's a big problem for hillary. >> and early stats, though. >> rebecca, listen to a conversation that occurred between reverend al sharpton and president obama last night about folks within the fbi trying to influence the election. listen to what he said and i want to get your comment on it. >>ey is a good man and i do not believe he is in any way trying to influence the election one way or the other. the overwhelming majority of fbi feel the same way. the wheoverwhelmy's people feele same way. >> president obama came out the other day and did seem to express an opinion. he did say we don't work on innuendo or rumor. seemed to be critical of the fbi's timing and decision to issue this letter and the leaks coming out and seems to be walking that criticism back. the latest from your reporters? >> reporter: absolutely. president obama has been trying to walk a very, very delicate line here. he wants to speak carefully about the s

insults african-americans. insults muslims. insults people with disabilities. >> the final week on the campaign trail sees donald trump climbing in the national polls. with millions of votes already been cast in early voting or absentee ballots. trump is telling people they can -- votes. can they? major garrett reports. >> get out there and vote. pretend we are slightly behind. you got to get out. we don't want to blow this. >> reporter: donald trumit new polls show the race in florida is essentially tied. for a second day he warned that a hillary clinton presidency could be mired in congressional and possibly criminal investigations. >> if hillary clinton were to be elected, it would create an unprecedented and protracted haven't we just been through a lot with the clintons? right? >> reporter: despite the public polling, trump's team believes it surge add head here and believes it has drawn even in upper midwest states like michigan and wisconsin. in au claire last night. trump made a play for voters who cast early ballots fo

as a share of early voters, african-americans are down, 6.0%, 2012. 28.9%.s confusing, basically, caucasians are up. he's saying, they're crowing really about the african-american vote being down. >> something clinton forces worry about. we saw historic highs in 2008 and 2012. because barack obama was on the ticket. but if she's numbers were to hold in other states, it could bode well for donald trump. his whole strategy from the beginning has been to increase the white vote and increase his portion of the white vote. and these numbers in north carolina, if they're true might spell trouble for north carolina. >> do you think it's voter suppression. >> the voter suppression was a story from the campaign. we can all be faulted for not digging into that story. the republicans have since 2010, a systematic well thought out calculated finesse campaign to suppress votes. in many ways it's been successful, the courts and others have fought back against it in recent weeks. the suppression is a factor in going-forward by the way, once we know who the president is, ou

he moves on to insult all insults african-americans. insults muslims. insults people with disabilities. >> reporter: president obama came to clinton's aid on another front today. criticizing the fbi director for alerting congress about new e-mails in the clinton case that may or may not be significant. the president said the fbi should not be spreading what he called innuendo and incomplete >> nancy cordes on the campaign tonight. now let's go to major garrett covering the trump campaign. >> get out there and vote. pretend we are slightly behind. you got to got out. we don't want to blow this. >> reporter: donald trump its running like an underdog even as new polls show the race in florida is essentially tied. for a second day he warned that a hillary clinton presidency could be mired in congressional and possibly criminal investigations. >> if hillary clinton were to be elected, it would create an unprecedented, and protracted constitutional crisis. haven't we just been through a lot with the clintons? right? >> despite the public polling, trump's team

young people, and african-americans. interesting to hear the president as he's been doing these multiple interviews with radio programs that are popular among black americans. just today, spelling it out in very plain language. saying, look, i know the excitement was there for me. well, you have to show that excitement for hillary clinton. and just today being out here and talking to some of the black students, they're saying, yeah. there is a gap in the excitement level for hillary clinton. obviously that's going to be there give than president obama was the first black president. but they're feeling like you know, some of their friends and colleagues, they need to be pulled out toal po athe polls. why they're not showing up in enormous numbers for early voting. we'll see how that works out on election day. also today we heard the president weigh in on the e-mail controversy in an interview. he's been avoiding that topic. given he was asked directly about it today, he pretty much echoed what we've heard from the adminis

younger voters, minority voters including african-americans and women. we see the strength among women but not necessarily african-americans at the moment. this is what we don't know. this is why election day matters and why looking at early voting that's already banked matters so much to make these projections but on the e-mails in particular the clinton campaign has made a determination they will argue this hard, take on james comey because they want to say to their voters, look this is unfair and this is an example of clinton enemies overreaching. you have to support us or else in a weird way the election could be rigged in the other direction against. >> but it's also clear -- they want to turn the page from that as well. if you saw hillary clinton down in florida yesterday, it was basically donald trump is unfit to be president because of the way he speaks about women. >> but let me jump in, it's so important to point out on the trump side, the discipline, how he is talking about the fbi investigation, he is talking about obamacare, he is teleprompt

maybe one step more, what is the view that africans have of africans view of america?o evolve.ntinues i think that obama's election put a spotlight on africa. it helps to reshape in a dramatic way, the american conception of africa. when i came to america, the dominant view of africa was that africa was some kind of charmed kingdom of animals. the human population was somewhat incidental, almost peripheral to this continent. and so it was -- it was like i encountered so many hilarious questions. people who believed there were no airports and africa. people who believed that africans lived in trees and that you could come out of your compound and an counter a lion. sort of an everyday encounter. i am guessing to things have changed that. i think the internet, social media, has sort of put every corner of the world under the spotlight and a significant way. americans can sit down in any locale in this country and see a part of africa. also, i think more and more american universities and colleges are establishing visiting relationships with universities in africa. and th

it is not a given african-americans will always be democrats. they were always -- they were not always democrats. at the end of the civil war african americans who are newly freed identified with the republican party because of abraham lincoln having issued the emancipation proclamation. they stayed largely republican through the new deal. once the new deal started, we saw african-americans vote democratic in elections. that solidified by 1964 when you have lyndon johnson promoting civil rights legislation and barry goldwater, republican candidate voted against it. that solidified african-american vote for the democratic party. and southern whites were drifting towards the republican party. that is a 50 year process we have recently seen come full circle. when i talk about those things it is not the stump for one candidate. it is to recount the history i have studied as a part of my profession. host: rudy from sun city, california. democrat. caller: i would like to find out, and i believe the blacks today, and i'm a 60-year-old black man who vot

come to the african-american museum and walk through history. they should be able to feel if another generation can do what they did i too can make this contribution.toa i was deeply inspired by rosa parks. i met rosa parks when i was 17. i met martin luther king jr. when i was 18. i worked in kennedy's campaign. all these people helped make it a person that i am today. host that you have a lot of people here at the national book festival watching you right now congressman. there are lots of young people here as well. what do you tell them? >> guest: i tell them. >> host: when they shake your hand. >> host: i would say good to see you, thank you for beingng here and i would say you know i love you. stay in school and get the bestt possible education that you can get. be hopeful and be optimistic and be happy.. don't get lost in a sea of despair. >> host: "march" book three john lewis, andrew aydin and made paul was the illustrator nominated for a national book award. this is again book three representative lewis and andrew aydin have written a n

we have almost 500,000 african-americans who have cast their vote out of 1.6 million african-american voters. so we're continuing to push the early vote. we're engaged in every county in the state. the hillary clinton campaign has invested heavily. the senatorial campaign is active in north carolina. we're trying to take out senator burr. but all of the key significant races are within the margin of error. so every vote counts. we're playing office and playing defense. the defense we're playing is to make sure republicans don't intimidate our voter os on election day. we're getting disturbing reports that the alt right and sympathizers of the trump movement will be at the polling places on election day to intimidate our voters. the naacp has already filed a lawsuit to prevent that from happening. we're playing offense and defense. >> sir, i know that there was an emergency hearing scheduled in federal court today. regarding some of this. on monday, filed a federal lawsuit to stop county election boards from canceling voter registration. a lot of moving parts. we focus so much on north

it is not a given african-americans will always be democrats.n fact they were always -- they were not always democrats. at the end of the civil war african americans who are newly freed identified with the republican party because of abraham lincoln having issued the emancipation proclamation. they stayed largely republican through the new deal. once the new deal started, we saw african-americans vote democratic in elections. that solidified by 1964 when you have lyndon johnson promoting civil rights legislation and barry goldwater, republican candidate voted against it. that solidified african-american vote for the democratic party. and southern whites were drifting towards the republican party. that is a 50 year process we have recently seen come full circle. when i talk about those things it is not the stump for one candidate. it is to recount the history i have studied as a part of my profession. host: rudy from sun city, california. democrat. caller: i would like to find out, and i believe the blacks today, and i'm a 60-year-old black man w

they found african-americans and people with african-american sounding names will have to wait longer for rides, and are more likely to see those rides canceled by the driver, even before they're picked up. dr. steven soth studies transportation as the executive director of the center for automotive research at stanford. joined this morning by sara lacy and john schwartz of "usa today." let me start with what even inspired the study. what made you think, you know what we ought to do is we ought to see if this is a thing? >> it really started when don mckenzie and i were grad students at m.i.t. and during the course of our time there we really watched as ride sharing was kicking over a big part of the transportation business in the country. we started to wonder about all the different ways that transportation was really affecting society, affecting its users. and this is one of the things that we talked about at the time was, is the service truly equal. and ultimately the experiment that we ran was the evolution of those early conversations. >> there was a line in your report that i th

an african american man who has torn apart this country. we need the look at that. >> to say that race relations have gotten as bad as they've ever been under president obama shows a lack of depth. america is bent on racial division, and donald trump's rhetoric, this otherism, plays on that narrative that has long been the narrative of american society. >> reporter: while there were passionate disagreement, one issue united this group, debt. many told me they can't repay their student loans, which means they're putting off decisions like buying a house or starting a family, and, scott, they're looking for answers from these >> pelley: elaine quijano listening to voters tonight. elaine, thank you. there's more of elaine's fascinating conversation with millennial voters on our cbs youtube channel and on our streaming service, cbsn. police are investigating a fire at a predominantly african american church in greenville, mississippi, last night. someone spray painted "vote trump" on the hopewell baptist church. there are no suspects, but the m

black enterprise has been watching him and a handful of african americans that serve as directors of major corporations. in it's annual report a study revealed in 2012 that white men held 75% of s&p 500 board seats versus a mere 5.5% for black men this year black enterprise counted 182 black directors at 176 corporations versus the year prior with 179 directors at 174 corporations and in 2014, 30% didn't have a single blackboard member. diversity on corporate boards matter. >> that's critical to innovation. it's truly a >> arnold donald's board is charting the course for the largest cruise line industry. >> 60% plus of today's population are women in minorities. 60%. so that the customers of these companies are women and minorities and so to reflect their own markets to have that thinking and diversity of thinking representing their own customers at the top of the corporate pyramid which is the >> donald wants to see more african americans on boards. but why stop there. >> definitely hispanic americans. you need asian americans and you need international people on the board. you need

the african-american vote is excited. listen to the great endorsement by lebron james and many others. beyonce over the weekend. but i think it's going to be about america. we're not going to be groups. we're going to be americans who go out and answer the questions that secretary clinton has asked. what kind of america do we want it be and frankly, i think that's going to drive a lot of people to the polls. a lot of people are doing that historic vote on eleion day. 50% in some states. 60% in other states and looking to that surge. we think this matter with the fbi is over. we want the secretary to talk about who she is and how she will lead and how she will bring us together. we think she's ready to do that and i'm excited about her 2 minute presentation. >> i want to move off to your point of this e-mail issue and the conclusion yesterday to these polls. you are in ohio. donald trump is leading by 1 point there. his team seems to believe that they can pull off a victory in michigan. also, they believe that they could p

just because it happens in african america, no good deed, nothing in the film is specific to african-american. same is true of other films with african-american leaders. nothing specific to the african-american experience that whites, germans, foreigners about. i work very, very hard to try to make films that are not culturally or ethnically exclusionary. i want to make films that are inclusionary and can be enjoyed by a wide audience. >> and lucius, and -- >> for inspiring filmmakers, advice, never give up. >> end of the day, hollywood is a numbers business, and if you can -- you can be making the greatest film. find just continue to make films. i've made films with commercial success and am proud of that. >> you want to marry my sister, show me you're worthy of her. >> how am i supposed to do that? >> i'm going to take you on a ride along. >> i want to continue to raise the bar in terms of the quality level of the films i'm making. >> strictly a business relationship. not buying a new friend. you're hiring a best man. what you doing? >> sorry. >> dammit, man. >> that's just the beginning. w

a lot has to do with the suppression efforts, but also when i talk to african-american, even though they're feeling like they're trying to heed obama's message to go out and vote, this is not the first african-american president. however, latinos are flockinging to the polls and young women are flocking to the poll so i think while african-americans are definitely voting for her, feeling like they want to continue obama's legacy, i think she's going to have a different coalition. they're going to play a bigger role in that.
