because no one else should be controlling the african-american community but the african-american community. derrick johnson, president and ceo of naacp. this is from michigan, jerry, democrats line. go ahead. >> good morning to both of you and greetings yet again from motown. i have two questions and also i would like to make the comment if i can. the first is -- voter suppression efforts on the part of racist white conservatives. on the republican side. and also, how far in terms of white peoples attitudes about african-americans do you think will change? especially amongst the younger generation of white people. i would like to make my comment. >> quickly please. >> in terms of voter suppression we filed a lawsuit last week in georgia when we realized over 59,000 applications were being denied process for new registered voters. we prepared some -- and tennessee we learned that there were voter suppression things happening here we see the nature of voter registration as a suppression method for why should citizens fill out the application to qualify to participate in a democracy that they

because no one else should be controlling the vote of the african-americans but the african-american communities. >> derek johnson serves as the president and ceo of the naacp. call comes from detroit michigan, democrat line, you are on with our guest. go ahead. >> caller: good morning to both of you and greetings. i have two questions and also i would like to make a comment, if i can. what steps are being taken to prevent voter suppression efforts on the part of -- [inaudible] -- on the republican side? and how far if in terms of white people's attitudes among african-americans do you think they have changed especially the younger generation of white people? >> quickly, please. >> so in terms of voter suppression, we filed a lawsuit last week in georgia where we realized that over 59,000 applications were being denied process for new registered voters. we're preparing similar lawsuits to what took place in georgia in tennessee where we've also learned that there are voter suppression methods to deny voter registration applications being processed. the naacp we see the whole nature o

recently, an african american c.n.e. was accused of abuse because she removed food from a patient who was vomiting. a co-worker accosted, one co-worker accosted two african americans and told them they are no good. they are, you know, they are a waste of time. this was reported to e.o. e.o.'s response was they have found nothing to substantiate racism. so, this is the equitable and fair employer that we work for. >> supervisor kim: thank you, miss rutherford. next speaker. >> good morning. miss kim, miss brown, miss fewer, i'm amos brown. president of the san francisco branch of the national association for the advancement of colored people. and also have had the honor of for 43 years serving as senior pastor of the historic third baptist church san francisco. i must respectfully submit that i am very troubled over the atmosphere, attitude, and the actions of san francisco political leadership toward its citizens of darker hue. it's out loud blatant disrespect. the first item i want to say that catalogues that, no person

in history, pan-african studies and computer science. if you think it's weird i do baseball, vernon does it all. he's actually a one-man university at clemson university in south carolina. he is also the director of the clemson cyber institute. and in addition to that, received the dean's award in research from the college of architecture, art, and humanities. don't you do natural science, as well? where's the chemistry and biology here? vernon has written at least 25 books or edited them. he's published more than 200 scholarly articles. he's a distinguished scholar of lincoln among other things. vernon and i compete as to who can wear the best lincoln tie. at conferences. i got mine at the u.s. capitol historical society. they have great lincoln ties. but in any event, i give you vernon burton, who will tell you about the importance of the 14th amendment. [applause] >> i appreciate you lowering expectations. it's always a hard act to follow paul, and to try to get my timer on, and of course i can't. ok. well, i taught the american south

first nation celebrations of different african countries. different can countries to institute we organize a celebration and i would discourage we're going to princes to discuss the topic of problems of this so that country and also i would for example. reverse fresh research on this or that country and publishes books and. articles and also one of the areas of cooperation between russia and various african countries is that we provide evidence for. students including saddam also i will. add that much more stipends for the african students what you are up to fifteen thousand students. in russia this is this is the soft power that we've been talking about a little bit earlier on. it could just be that tough power i mean that is why a couple of people on my not very many but a few see this as a good and advantageous thing for african countries this is about on twitter who says russia has a positive impact on africa they are not interested economically but to buy strength through collaboration so that's one person's view i want to go over here

and i am an african-american parent ambassador and the president of the african-american parent partnership committee at john o'connell. [applause] our aapac was formed in 2015 and the purpose of our support, our group is to support african-american students in the process of being successful, in their academic learning and provide social and emotional support for family and student. >> our goals for the year are to engage more black parents to be active and have students feel more motivated and confident through support so they do not give up. finally, to continue ensuring success for our african-american students. among many bright spots, our biggest one is that they created their own more electives, excellence in every part of the curriculum. we have two black students on our ssc as members. lastly, our black family dinners to kick off black history month. >> one of the major challenges faced at john o'connell is more african-american family involvement just trying to figure out how to, we invite, light meal, childcare is provided. we just need more support on getting them to the school.

my african friends. we want to say the e.u. diplomat stands by his position he sees migration as a threat to europe's future. if turned into a permanent feature. working africa. europe would remain subject to the same pressure. the e.u. has achieved its goal of the number of migrants arriving in europe. but the consequences of its policy are. human rights records. for africans under threat it's becoming increasingly difficult to seek protection and work beyond their own borders. enter the conflict zone with tim sebastian. i'll be challenging those in power asking tough questions demanding of the powerful to account facts the conflicts. conflict zones like zone within civilian it spawns d w w. every journey begins with the first step and every language is the first word allusion to the coax in germany to learn german. why not learn with him. it's simple online on your mobile and for e. t w z e learning course. german made easy. hello. was on this car listening to radio for. the fight against illegal gangs. david. against goliath

that form and we want the african countries to carry out reforms to africans must do more than cells above all on good governance and combating corruption these twelve countries are doing this it's was a proof of that and we believe in economic cooperation because that's not all but. the compact for africa has generated new investment though some say progress is too slow and others question who benefits more africans old western firms but the leaders gathered in lynnwood clear that this public and private investment is a win win for both europe and its southern neighbors. and we can say without any equivocation that africa is indeed open for business. help for africa's economic development could be the right lesson from the migration flows of recent years and become a key part of mantles legacy. in the united states the city of pittsburgh has begun burying instead with the first of the funerals for the eleven victims killed in last weekend's synagogue shooting us president donald trump has also just arrived in the city to offer his condolences despite being told to stay away by local

my african friends. we want to say the e.u. diplomat stands by his position he sees migration as a threat to europe's future. if turned into a permanent feature. the geographic. will remain subject to the same pressure. the e.u. has achieved its goal the number of migrants arriving in europe is falling. but the consequences of its policy are dire. and for africans under threat it's becoming increasingly difficult to seek protection and work beyond their own borders. you know max this week's highlights. curtains up jungle goatees fashion freak show celebrates pop culture. something near the boche creates an interactive fireworks show. up market albanian cuisine slow food chef latest cola reinterprets classic dishes you wrote. thirty minutes. earth a home worth saving googling to goes tell stories of creative people and innovative projects around the world ideas to protect the climate and boost green energy solutions a global ideas be implemented series of global three thousand on d w and online. her first day of school in the ju

when he speaks to african americans, it's off the cuff. it doesn't really matter to him, and he knows that. >> liz, one would have to say that president donald trump knows that robert e. lee is a confederate generals, one of the statues being protested was of robert e. lee. so clearly one has to ask is he really trying to get african american voters or is he using them as a backboard to score with those that are to the far right and are intensive or are outright hostile to african american voters' interests? >> i don't think donald trump realizes exactly what he's saying. history will tell you upon talking about the issue of confederate statues that general lee wasn't in support of it during his time. so i think the other commentator is right. he's talking to his base, who are upset about these initiatives to remove these confederate statues that are images of a terrible time in our history and to try to honor a general who was treasonous during that time, who was fighting against the united states on behalf of the south in order to protec

in florida's camps were african-american.t has spread beyond african-americans to the entire state. you u have a situation where in floridida, about 1.7 million people can't vote. this amendment would restore million of those. 500,000 are african-american. the rest are white and latino. i think that is one of the reasons you have seen such a big coalition rally behind this because it is not just african-americans being disenfranchised. a lot of white republican trump supporters cannot vote in florida, either. but the numbers are so staggering. 10% of people in the country's most important swing statate not being able to vote. i think all of the attention on georgia voter suppression is warrananted, but we're talking -- 53,000hrough people. in florida, we're talking about 1.4 million people that mike at the right to vote back. more people right now are disenfranchised in florida than any other state. that is why amendment 4 is so important. juan: could you talk about the movement that is built around it terms of what kind of s

that's suffering, but it is us, african americans especially. i have to represent one of my co-workers where a chair was physically pulled from underneath her by this manager, we have a nurse that works with our c.d.i. team that quit because -- [no audio] [microphone is silent] >> thank you. thank you, ms. hardy.

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

. >> 70% of whom are african-american.nies this accusation. they conduct regular list maintenance to ensure voter integrity. that's their wording, as required by federal and state law. >> what was exactly that happened here? how did the story become to be? >> this is because the state passed a law about a year ago requiring the verification of voters status. it's called the exact match law. that means that there's even a missing hyphen, a misplaced c d comma. one deviation and the records office can put your application on hold, pending. those voters can still vote and voting rights advocates are making that clear. they should still go to the ballots and vote but they have to bring their id to make sure they can verify who they are. >> voters rights group don't like this exact match. what's the history there? >> yeah, it's a controversy law that passed about a year ago in georgia. republicans who supported it said it was passed in the effort of voter integrity to make sure people who are voting are who they said they were.

economic institutions of the african development bank of the african monetary fund africa would then develop its own solutions and develop its own lending programs to address its own problems so africa was in good duffy's view. with gadhafi as a leadership increasingly becoming something of a bloc rather than a series of disparate individual nations that could be dealt with one on the one and set against each other. when gadhafi was elected chairman of the african union in two thousand and nine u.s. officials squared concerned in an embassy cables revealed by wiki leaks they noted that libya will seek to use a chairmanship to aggrandise him and promote his united states of africa proposal. u.s. multinationals were also unhappy with the libyan leader especially his decision to cancel it one billion dollars deal with the bechtel corporation the largest engineering company in the u.s. with powerful connections in washington. the fact that an operator with bechtel's connections and deep pockets was ultimately unable to secure its contract serves as a caution airy tale for the many u.s. a

african-americans have really creative names. [laughter] married women. you begin to see how this works. so what exact match has done in this latest round to put 53000 voters in this electoral purgatory 80 percent of whom are african-american asian american and hispanic american. that 80 percent of the electorate but that they have now put in limbo land. so with cross check matching up on a bunch of parameters but really it's luster - - a last name minorities are overrepresented so therefore in the purges that happen whites are underrepresented by 8 percent african-americans are overrepresented by 35 percent asian americans are overrepresented by 31 percent and hispanics are overrepresented 14 percent of african-americans have been purged in the united states of america through this method. >> something that will impact this election but one of the things we look at obviously is if the supreme court, and you talk about that insight and several things that you talk about the suggestions when you go too far with partisan gerrymandering - - gerrymandering bu

that form and we want the african countries to carry out reforms for africans must do more than ourselves above all on good governance and combating corruption these twelve countries are doing this it's what this proof of that is and often we believe in economic cooperation. but. on the compact for africa has generated new investment though some say progress is too slow and others question who benefits more africans or western firms but the leaders gathered in berlin were clear that this public and private investment is a win win for both europe and its southern neighbors. and we can say without equivocation that africa is indeed open for business. help for africa's economic development could be the right lesson from the migration flows of recent years and become a key part of metals legacy. and of course the question is where is all of this money going to go to talk about that i'm joined right through the big table by you to be reporter christine one voice she has spent years reporting from africa's good . have you hear of the program christine i know that the leaders they all had that s

by the way, african-american unemployment is lowest in the history. i don't know how you beat that soundbite. we're going to do better and better and better. now we'll just make it better and better. [ inaudible ] >> you're right. the unemployment rate for african-american women has also reached the lowest number ever recorded. congratulations. [ applause ] african-american youth unemployment, which was really in terrible shape, those numbers is the lowest level ever recorded. history. the african-american poverty rate is now at its lowest level in history. [ applause ] i think this is awfully tough for the democrats. let's say we're debating and i throw a couple of these numbers. how do they get us? candice, this is a tough number to beat, right? businesses owned by african-american and hispanic women are growing at a faster rate than any other kind of business or business type ownership. think of that. african-american women, entrepreneurs. that's fantastic. that's great number right there. think of it, growing faster than any other business or busi

you're far far from it we want the african countries to carry out reforms the of the africans must do more themselves above all on good governance and combating corruption come these twelve countries are doing this that's what this group of that is involved and we believe in economic cooperation. of the traffic court but on the compact for africa has generated new investment though some say progress is too slow and others question who benefits more africans or western firms but the leaders gathered in berlin were clear that this public and private investment is a win win for both europe and its southern neighbors. and we can say without equivocation that africa is indeed open for business. help for africa's economic development could be the right lesson from the migration flows of recent years and become a key part of medicals legacy. so. is all this money going to go well the reporter christine one who has spent many years reporting from africa daniel pelts is here from the africa desk a welcome both let's start with you. i know michael says she's raised a billion euros for this proj

reform, thehe a african union hs achieved savings of 12%. in our next budgeget, and member states are paying a greater share of the bill. >> germany has also launched an even closer partnership with a group of countries such as senegal, morocco and ethiopia. berlin is offering extra money but suppoport i is dependent on reforms. >> we want the african countries to carry out reforms. the africans must do more themselves. above all, on good governance and combating corruption. these 12 countries are doing this. theres proof of that. and we believe in economic cooperation. >> the compact for africa has generated new investment though some say progress is too slow and others question who benefits more -- africans or western firms. but the leaders gathered in berlin were clear that this public and private investment is a win-win for both europe and its southern neighbors. >> and we can say without equivocation that africa is indeed open for business. >> help for africa's economic development could be the right lesson from the migration flows of r

voters, by running african-american candidates and by listening to african american voters in a transformativeave them be part of the process. we saw that in the dow jones race where they took the race over-the-top for doug jones and in florida where gillam is leading because african american voters took him over the edge of the primary they will take more in the general election. shannon: how will the gop do that? >> the gop definitely needs help. no question. wait a second. we got to be honest with the democratic party has done. what you said was completely false. when we talk about diversity and inclusion in the democratic party but capitol hill, their senior staffers. it doesn't really exist. shannon: we will come back to you. >> disrespect in the democratic party for african-americans, you know the candidates we have seen locally. in illinois, a candidate running for governor in illinois who was democratic staff that are african-american are suing them for racial discrimination. this is happening across the board. i thought we would have a bipartisan conversation. democrats are not doing

he also explores the roles museums play in preserving african-american culture. this 45 minute discussion took place at the association of african american museums' annual conference. >> it is my duty to introduce to you the moderator of this conversation that will take place now, dr. jefferies, who is no stranger to this association. people are still talking about the keynote he gave a couple years ago where he mesmerized the crowd. he is a native of brooklyn, new york, the crown heights section. he is a graduate of morehouse college. he is a morehouse man. more importantly, for me, he is a duke man. he holds two degrees in masters of arts and a phd from duke university. he has taught on the faculties of the university of alabama and the ohio state university, where he is an associate professor of american history. at this time he will lead us into a conversation. let's give him a hand. [applause] >> thank you very much, and good afternoon. when he said at this time he will come, i thought he was going to say he would come and lead us in prayer. [laughter] that'

you 156 operates off of the african coast. that november we have you 157 off the african coast, then you 152 and you 155 again and you 153 and you 154, where they are going? off the african coast. how effective were these actions, these u-boats? the answer is somewhat. but not overwhelmingly so. okay? the best of the bunch worry you 155 patrols about 28,000 tons for these patrols average. these were ships to sunken ships damaged, it will be gross registry tons, aside from the ship damaged by u-151, which is actually a british destroyer in a collision, so the u-boat was emerging. so, by comparison, u-53 off the united states, one day, five ships, 20,000 tons. the top scoring boat in the mediterranean, 150,000 tons top scoring u.s. boat in world war ii, 100,000 tons. but the united states did not sink 12.6 tons of japanese and the rest japanese shipping in world war ii either . >> let us say that this was rather okay, mediocre, not great , not really good enough. i should mention to one of the u- boat commanders was. does anyone

we say it black firefighters and not all of the cadets are african-american.is a spread. there is asians. it shows how far we have come. when you talk to me about earl gage, it is a name. it is a memory. i agree with you in terms of remembrance. but earl gage or whoever it is, that name should be burned into your soul for the point of view for the black firefighters, that somebody had to pay the price to be able to get here. for myself, is a commissioner, part of that, and we mentioned it was part of the consent agree i remember the day when firefighters, what is called the plaintiff his against disagreement. it was a really clear definition of what your associations stood for on an asian level at an african-american level or latino level. part of that was diversity. or an opportunity to have members of our community to serve within this requirement. it does not necessarily have to be african-american, but in this state and this presentation, the point of information -- of the we said that many times. its may 24th year as a fire commissioner but i was a first

african-americans and hispanics running for president.e on the other side running on the democratic side? >> i guess you could say that argument. let's be real. you had president donald trump so yesterday he accused democratic candidate for governor of florida -- he called him a thief with absolutely no evidence. >> shannon: he's referring to the fbi investigation in which it has been revealed that there were broadway tickets that were very expensive to hamilton, i have not seen it, i've heard it's great for those tickets were given to him rather than reported or paid for. that's an accusation that's out there. i want to get to the next step of this because i want to talk to you about the celebrities that have gotten involved here. candace owens, she tweeted this. a big gathering of young black conservatives in d.c., she tweeted real donald trump's approval is at a record high. democrats took our fathers, destroyed our communities and told us we could be nothing but their victims. blexit is happening because it's time, that referring to b

for some african countries the attention from moscow is tempting so how would this situation develop and what does russia want out of it and joining us to discuss this in moscow. she's a senior research fellow at the institute for african studies of the russian academy of sciences in new york ro not go part us he's a director at signal risk an exclusively african risk advisory firm also in new york ideality of die here in nairobi based reporter with quartz africa and here in our studio he's a senior fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace working in the russia and eurasia program welcome everyone to the stream good to have you here this is a topic about resume. very well with our audience of mine and so i want to start with this one from samuel who gives us a little history lesson in bridge he says russia systematically sought to restore the positions of moscow last after the fall of the soviet union and the turbulent decade a bath followed so obviously he explains why we see russia in on the african continent now but from your point of view your perspective why do y

african-american history is no different than white american history was. in the 1950's, it was said that black people are nothing but by people with black skins. there was a book challenging jim crow history. this was a well-meaning, liberal white person who made this case. professor jeffries: good white folk. [laughter] dr. kendi: he actually was comfortable, right? so, these assimilationist ideas have historically been a fundamental threat to african-american culture and museums. i wanted to make the case that these ideas are fundamentally racist ideas. they are saying there is something funnily inferior about black people. the way it operates is for people to say, you know what? it's not just that black people need resources and opportunities, they also need to be developed. what happens is you take time and resources away from challenging racial discrimination because you have been taught there is something wrong with these people, and that the way forward for those people is to move out of african-american history, to move out of those black museum's,

africa seriously i believe now what would be a real game changer for german business presence in african countries. i think what's important is for them to just realize what the opportunities in africa are and how close africa is to their own front doorsteps africa is the closest continent to the opportunities that present precisely in education technical training aviation as i said power particularly renewable energies are immense and they have not yet been tapped by anybody why is that what what is your take on the why has has these potentials not been taken up so far i think so far german companies have been risk averse to going to africa because we haven't had the mechanisms in place here yet to secure them or rather to give them a sense of security africa and the main african economies have been stable for some time now and that hasn't yet been perceived here there are a jewel taxation agreements in place there are profit transfer agreements in place exchange rates tend to be fairly stable so the question is why haven't german companies already discovered africa for themselves at pr

countries than an african.ome in threes free but 28 european countries can. countries can come in threes free but 28 european countries canm there a demand for travel, do africans travel a lot within the continent? it is very expensive. it's cheaper to travel from nairobi to thailand and morocco.” it's cheaper to travel from nairobi to thailand and morocco. i wonder how much that is holding things like investment back. it is an amazing continent with so many opportunities and yet time and time again we see these barriers to investment. you are these barriers to investment. you a re exactly these barriers to investment. you are exactly right. inter—african trade is very low. it is expensive. the ideal is for a european union style free movement of goods and capital but it doesn't happen because there are so many roadblocks and so expensive than that makes it difficult for people to do business across africa. so good to have you on the programme. i hope you have easy travelling back to nairobi, where you are base

talking about the history and the legacy of slavery and bigotry and what africans and then later african-americansescendants had to endure in this country to take in the way of their humanity is something we don't play with. and so for kanye to talk about abolishing the 13th amendment to the constitution which was the amendment that abolished slavery in this country and to talk about those issues in such a flippant way just is not the right thing to do. he doesn't understand the legacy of that. and also, how it continues to move and feed in this country even to this day. >> nina, he said he was trying to make more of a point about presidents. >> just make that point, don. >> exactly. >> don't play with it. slavery is not -- don't play with it. >> i agree with nina. those at home who may not follow this, the 13th amendment abolishes slavery except for people in prison. what he was trying to say is let's also give freedom to people who have been incarcerated, et cetera. but again trying to make an arguably good point very, very badly. >> don, i think there's a lot to unpack in what he said. clearly

for african american students we've seen the gain at the elementary level. we've seen losses, small losses but still losses in middle school and high school level. this corresponding set of results for mathematics. you will see at the district level, we've achieved 50% origin this was equal to the performance two years ago. this still has a 10% points higher than our largest urban counterpart in san francisco. you can see there the demographic and as well we're seeing the achievement gaps persisting in this year's results. over on the right-hand side, another interesting fact about this year's performance cohorts of students moving from the sixth to seventh grade made the single largest set of increases on the sb ac. these increase are also out pacing the course ponding increases at the state level. so to the extend that we're seeing, entering into middle school and all the supports we've been putting into middle school makes a difference, here is where it's showing up. >> looking at bright spots within the district, there are many. i could almost name each
