only a handful of films represented african americans. while the productions did not often live up to rhetoric. nonetheless signaled the beginning of what would become a promotion of racial liberalism on behalf of the motion picture industry. the two most anticipated films "a cabin in the sky", and "the stormy weather", were significant financial investment in black talent illustrating a large group of black actors, dancers command musicians today. when government officials could cite hollywood's will greatest influence won out. -- hollywood greater influence won out. the all-black musicals also contains the greatest influence a black woman during the years. roles played suggested a range of possibilities for black women outside of the paradigm with the implications that black women could command of their voices and their movements. in advancing the owi's mission, hollywood also produced several films which heightened the status of black americans do the -- to the symbol of a multiethnic platoon revealing the greatest departure from racia

african americans began finding new freedom. getting married, searching for members of their families who had been sold. and yet, slavery's death did not automatically confer any rights of liberty on african americans. it only liberated th from a master. whatever meaning the 13th amendment may have had in january of 1865, the white south's reaction to the end of slavery changed the dynamics. the southern states enacted thinly disguised versions of slavery known as black codes. these systems gave white employers the power to whip. the power to administer moderate corporal chastisement. people could not travel without a pass, it became nearly impossible for african americans to rent land or seek legal redress against whites. blacks were not allowed to possess knives or firearms, to buy or sell alcohol, or preach the gospel without license from white authorities. in new orleans, the code declared free people of color ought to never insult or strike white people nor presume to think of themselves as equal to the white. the system wo

the coalition has four identified legs, african-americans, african-americans, independent white liberalsand labor. each of those four legs gets to send an equal number of delegates to at the meeting. the coalition is howard by four cochairman, each from each leg. each committee has equal representations and when conflict arises, as it always does, instead of it tearing them apart or blunting effective coordinated action, they actually caucus in separate corn hes of the room and hash out the issues and agree on compromise. in the end they coming to. and they are able to raise money from their own coffers and bailed political ground game, grassrootses campaign field operation, unlike anything seen before or since. and it's a political campaign, but it's rooted in the civil rights movement, so they build this field operation and graft it on top of local struggles. they hire dozen of campaign staff and they focus their efforts for the first time ever in texas history, on african-americans in the inner cities, mexican-americans in the barrios, both groups in the the recall hinterlandses of ea

robert: it is called lincoln hill, the oldest african-american resort community founded by african-americanse where african-americans could buy a plot of land for $25, build a cabin, and that is where they would come in the summer for vacation. it goes way back in history. everyone from duke ellington, langston hughes, count basie all come there and stay there because they could not stay in ofels during that period history. after desegregation, a lot of the african-american institutions fell into disrepair and was sold off into different parts. now we developed a program that serves our community and so many different ways. 6000 kids every summer come to the ranch. we bring 200-300 wounded veterans every year. in the winter when the ranch is shut down, one of the things my identified -- my wife identified is that there are programs, one is called together we rise, that handles aging out foster kids. now we have built at the ranch a 16 bedroom ranch house and we can host up to 30 kids during the holidays. we hosted them and do fun activities. david: you are a big fly fisherman. tell me what t

is the mantra that africans solutions for african problems is a very good sound bite but instead every but in practice we not allowed to practice it. so as you have put it when your military kompany executive outcomes was operating the media was highly critical often calling it illegal or claiming it soldiers people you said that lost the media war but most of your operations were conducted in secret why was the media war so damaging for you first of all the media at that time in particular was used by the south african government and the south african intelligence services to create certain perceptions specific sions were very necessary in order to hide what they were actually doing and that was supporting so-called rebel forces in various places in africa and of course entry into those conflict zones i do huge impact on not only economic interest but also a very personal interest and the media really just became a useful idiot as far as they were concerned if it did create major problems for us yes we would can see crissy but invariably any type of operation that anyone gets involved

it is actually the oldest african-american resort community founded by african americans.was founded as a place where african-americans could buy a plot of land for $25, build a cabin, and that is where they would come in the summer and spend their vacations. i went up there the first time when i was just six months old, so it goes way back in history. everyone from duke ellington, zora neale hurston, langston hughes, count basie all come there and stay there because they could not stay in hotels in denver during that period of history. so over time, after desegregation, a lot of the african-american institutions fell into disrepair and were sold off into different parts. and now we have developed a wonderful program that serves our community in so many different ways. 6000 inner-city kids every summer come to the ranch. we also give to about 200-300 wounded veterans every year. in the winter, though, when the ranch is pretty much shut down, one of the things that we identified -- my wife identified this -- that there are programs, one is called together we rise that we pa

well first of all we are an african company we are stuffed by africans we are based in africa and therefore we are not necessarily viewed as an ideal choice both foreign governments to use we've never worked in the middle east so we cannot really comment on the fissions the or lack thereof that pm sees but that is pm sees operating in the middle east funded by the host governments and not by the country where they're working in it it creates a bit of a dial emma in the same state they are regarded as people that are doing their jobs and where is we are regarded as the bad guys in the story. i have to mention that we have yet to come across an african ami try and buy foreign p.m.c. or indeed foreign forces that have been well trained and prepared for their mission opinion is that most african on me is being set up to fail by the foreign the emcees foreign on forces of foreign advises that they make use of why is there a certain private military companies now i mean is it cheaper for a government to just let chris more people into the regular army then pave where some areas double or triple o

but it is concerning to me, as well, that when we see african american, african american, african american in terms of the data, in terms sts disproportional -- of the disproportionality, it's based on positive behavioral support, it's behavioral management, and it's not actually focused on i say ra, class and culture which is -- it's not race, class and culture. this year, they had -- all year, they read books by white female authors until i brought it up to the principal, and then, there was some changes made, but this was curriculum that's been in place for a long time. and last fall, their friend -- well, in their math class, a boy said black kids are dumb in the math class when there was a subthere. this is in a class that my daughter loves. the teacher has great classroom management. kids are coming in with stuff in middle school, and there's no consistent proactive way that the schools are making black students feel welcome, and i just wanted to add, as well, about the underreporting, i'm hearing from a lot of black parents that when their children with victimized, they are -- are v

he was not in support of rights for african-americans. he was very much in favor of maintaining jim crow laws in the south in order to keep society stable. he served six terms in the united states senate and died here in selma in 1907. we are now standing at the grave of benjamin sterling turner. he was born in 1825 in north carolina. and in 1830 he was brought as a slave with his owner which was the widower. she recognized his intellectual abilities and educated him alongside her white children. james dean, ted by the owner of the st. james hotel and put him in as manager of the hotel. he operated a livery there in the area and other small businesses. when mr. dean went to fight in the battle he left benjamin sterling turner in charge to run the hotel. he was also the founder of the first school for african-american children in the city of selma and served a short term on the selma city council but got off the city council because he refused to take pay he didn't believe public servants should accept money for their service. in 1870 he w

but the african-american was overlooked. rather than looking at desertion in the context of emancipation, the government officials instead set their motivations were centered on free white male specific duty. black troops joined a military structure built to enlist and manage citizen soldiers. but formally -- formerly enslaved men did not fit in. the language used to describe black men who left their posts of secure the meaning of their fleeing. military officials in the 19th century use the term desertion to describe white soldiers who have banded -- who abandoned their contracts. in the eyes of the law deserters failed to uphold their oats and violated their contracts. second the government and wider public recognized desertion connoted a political relationship to the dereliction of contract. africanhe civil war era understood a community and nation. military service was an expression of their commitment to community and country. it functioned as a manifestation of masculine citizenship. as such desertion indicated a broke

was hostile nder to african-americans.s really shapes the attitude of many of the men who go there. i think about 1,200 enter and they graduate over 700 officers, right, from june through august. hamilton houston, however, is unsatisfied with it. he's pictured here. he's nonplus about it. he says, i need to get artillery training. ends up going to europe as second lieutenant in artillery. now, his time in europe -- these are his dog tags from the camp itself. his time in europe, he's disillusioned about his experience saying my battlefield was no europe, it was america, the whole time. comes back and says to himself, he had dreamed of being a pianist or artist but because of the racism he encounters in the military, comes back, dead indicates himself to the law. goes to harvard law school and comes dean of howard law school. gets it to be a nationally accredited law school. pulls in a number of african-american lawyers and trains the famous thurgood marshall. ends up joining the naacp as their counsel in the mid 1930's and

so, african-americans popularize this form of music.t some claim is america's only cultural contribution to the international scene -- jazz. i not own way, world war only domestic cases -- culturally, the idea of jazz was that you have whites, blacks, europeans, and americans, sharing space in the same kind of cultural moment. and that is significant for a number of reasons. you might compare it to what rap was in the 90's. what that has done culturally as well. it is also important to note that you had tens of thousands of women serving as nurses, not only for the french prior to the u.s. intervention, but also for the americans on the front. , mary breckenridge, dorothy o'neill, so what you have here is a kind of album put together by mary breckenridge. the breckenridges were an old family in america. mary carey had gone overseas to serve as a nurse in 1915 and 1916 in france. -- for the french and the british. she worked in the hospital in paris for the ambulance corps for the u.s. in 1916. this was given to her in remembrance for he

americans were of two lines about african-american -- to minds about african-american military serviceme white people were like, my son is not going to war while you stay home and slack off. african-americans made up about 10% of the population. same thing for immigrants. even though they make up roughly -- i think they ended up being drafted at 18% even though they only make up 15% of the population. what it demonstrates is this kind of two mindedness. on the one hand, we are going to discriminate against you. on the other hand, there is no way we are not going to make you go to war. what is notable is the uniforms. when they were in training camp in the south, they did not wear uniforms because there was a fear it would cause too much disruption among the jim crow residence, which was probably true. when many soldiers returned home in uniform, they were targeted with lynching in many places in the south. inle they were at the front france, they have a different experience in regards to being black. has a number of racial issues. they colonized africa. they have black soldiers fightin

they are the most famous of a number of african-american bands.ental band from the military, that go around france and do not only play for the french, italian and american soldiers, even german citizens of war, but also visiting american journalists. such as being. ♪ [band playing] the impact of this is that it spreads american jazz to europe and really popularizes this form of music. so, african-americans popularize -- they not only serve in the war physically, they would popularize this kind of music. it is what some claim is america's only cultural contribution to the international scene -- jazz. in its own way, world war i not only domestic cases -- culturally, the idea of jazz was that you have whites, blacks, europeans, and americans, sharing space in the same kind of cultural moment. and that is significant for a number of reasons. you might compare it to what rap was in the 90's. bringing white suburbanites into the conversation with more urban african-american populations and what that has done culturally as well. it is also important to

i have to mention that we have yet to come across an african on me try and buy foreign p.m.c. or indeed foreign forces that have been well trained and prepared for their mission opinion is that most african on me is being set up to fail by the foreign pm sees foreign armed forces or foreign advises that they make use of why is there a certain private military companies now i mean is it cheaper for a government to just let chris more people into the regular army than pave where some areas double or triple of what a soldier makes well i i think they speak. in required for private military companies given the unstable. international arena that to be on live in i think and as instability grows it's become much easier to outsource certain services to private entities also look at the cost of maintaining a large standing army and then i look at africa in particular where is the doctrines that are used by many african on these in the troops are trained in those doctrines are really doctrines that are totally irrelevant to africa. they would doctrines that were designed to by the germ

the district is 6.4% african-american. if my memory serves when a research the district years and years ago, the district was almost 30% african-american. 6.4% and that's about 3,600 african-american students. and if the math is right kak less than -- i just want -- it just bewilders me and others dot with that few amount of students, that we have these amount of numbers. and even though we have bemoaned the fact we don't have enough resources in this district kak we do have resources. we do have resources and we are not focusing the resources enough on the students that we are talking about to make sure we do not come up with these numbers year after year. and the fact that the commissioners brought up that we have reverted back to forum since before the initial resolution was passed kak i just feel that it is not necessarily about firing people. it is about a concerted effort that has never taken hold. prioritizing these schools, it is tier one schools. we can call them tier one. we need to focus the energy consistently.

well first of all we are an african company we are stuffed by africans we are based in africa and therefore we are not necessarily viewed as an ideal choice both foreign governments to use we've never worked in the middle east so we cannot really comment on the fission see or lack there of that pm seeds but those pm sees operating in the middle east are funded by the host governments and not by the country where they're working and it creates a bit of a di lemma and in the same state they are regarded as people that are doing their jobs and where is we are regarded as the bad guys in the story. i have to mention that we have yet to come across an african on me try and buy foreign p.m.c. or indeed foreign forces that have been well trained and prepared for their mission opinion is that most african on me is being set up to fail by the foreign the emcees foreign on forces of foreign advises that they make use of why is there a certain private military companies now i mean is it cheaper for a government to just let chris more people into the regular army than pay morrison there is double or tr

you see at the top of the slide, 254 african-american students throughout the schools. we relied heavily on partnerships with community-based partners that you see listed on the slide and worked closely with school sight staff to host meetings every six weeks, focused on monitoring data related to ontrack rates, and also grades. we were routinely holding these meetings, reviewing how the cohort of students was performing, and talking about different services that could be provided to the students, in order to support them in getting ontrack if they were off-track, and in those conversations we had conversations about strengths and gaps in terms of services that were offered at the school. on the right side of that slide you see the breakdown of students who are on track in the schools at the beginning of the year which is a little bit less than the district average similarly for an gta and lower than the district average in those three schools. when we think about the outcomes there, the district is in the midst of tabulating results in terms of ontrack rates which is t

i'm not sure i think african politicians africans in all walks of life women are coming up and taking their rightful position in society and we got past the time when women in order to succeed decide that they have to have male characteristic a book rush and pushing those that now women are beginning to fall into place with the characteristics make women i think a little bit different you know nurturing compassion because of the inference that we raise so yes there is some male dominance and money coming in from outside but is changing you can't expect change to happen overnight after our brutal colonialism which actually destroyed some of the best people who might otherwise have taken over more quickly i mean we ruined that culture we were in so much about african society before european colonialism this was one continent maybe the last continents in the world where humans did live in a relatively sustainable way with wildlife. and when the european colonial this came they hunted the raids never done before they destroyed habitats as a rate never seen before. and then created nature

and especially black south africans unclear. you know what this was my entry point to the discussion that what we've been experiencing in the past twenty four years is the lack of a clear and of course here and plan around or the messages that have been coming most recently are moving us towards a clear up have our land reform at the very least what we have at the moment is that there is an acknowledgement of the necessity to move along with urgency and that in the second aspect quite apart from the edge and that the senate are supposed to recognize the limits of restitution and restitution essentially means historical claims to the land is recognise the limits of that process and to move towards a dispensation that is based on land hunger so i think if we address that and then of course the final part a commitment to the rule of law i think that is absolutely crucial and issues of compensation i mean is quite right usually of compensation in the order of things are quite role in relation to significance so if it seems to me tha

what we have a peer is a tool we use of what isn't happening for african-american students in those schools. we have a set of services that we expect to happen for all students that are in the tier one bucket. transcript reviews of four-year plans and family orientation, academic support and college exposure, and services like tutoring and teacher a great track ends and one on the for tier two and tier three students that are more off-track. what we have found is a transcript reviews and credit recovery enrolment happen fairly consistent -- consistently offsite and we saw there is a greater need for a structured family engagement, prophet year planning and college and career exposure for our students. we sought happening at varying levels of the three different sites, but there is a clear need for greater consistency and making sure all of students had access to that. we had the ability to speak directly to students in those schools and we found out, while many students have adult allies in the schools, they still have, at times, feel excluded, discriminated against explicitly and feel the

now you believe that only africans can solve africa's problems are you saying that if foreign forces including un peacekeepers withdraw from africa the continent will finally have peace and prosperity i firmly believe that the africans can solve africa's problems . i think we need to have a look at who is. driving a lot of the crime which is taking place and i'm speaking of whether it be traunch national crime organized crime in terms of resource stripping the resource if that is the main cause of many of the problems we have in africa. i think that the un forces are bloated. in other words totally oversized and the budgeted in terms of what their chief because they successes on that many. usually when we have brought about a situation within a conflict with the enemy or with the state decides to negotiate the first people to russia know the un who then damone dow departure and as soon as we depart their forces said miska let out of control as do their budgets. i can use sierra leone as an example eighteen thousand men to replace what two hundred men did at an astronomical budget quo

the african national congress says it wants to take back land without compensation from white farmers and transfer ownership to black citizens the plan aims to reduce racial disparities in land ownership caused by the nation's history of land dispossession where colonizers forced black south africans to live in rural reserves white south african still own the majority of lines of the country that is eighty percent black since the end of apartheid in one thousand nine hundred four the government has been slowly buying back a white owned the redistribution to black farmers but government critics say the process is taking too long and this brought a little change so how should south africa right the wrongs of the policy as far as land is concerned with us to talk about this important. she is an associate professor of law at northwestern university where she teaches land reform indigenous law and property law intake. is a sociologist and also in cape town we have ben cousins research of public t.v. land and agrarian studies at the university of the west and hello everybody good to have yo

forty african states have signed the agreement to create a continental free trade area but we expect this to have a positive impact on africa as it will contribute to the strengthening of trade and the free movement of people and goods for the benefit of african citizens. it took two years to negotiate the african continental free trade area but it left a few countries out including economic heavyweights south africa and nigeria once they signed on the agreement will cover one point two billion people with a cumulative g.d.p. of two trillion euros it will be a boost for the entire continent but africa faces other problems too like corruption. among africa loses at least fifty billion dollars a year to illicit cash flows it is clear that retaining these resources on the continent would greatly help finance its development. we must go beyond words to demonstrate our commitment to fighting corruption with a leap towards concrete action. transparency international puts african countries at the top of its corruption perception index a powerful deterrent for investors however the watchdog
