in the press galleries in terms of accreditation of african american reporters. he's constantly pushing the envelope. there's a great story that he we covered in our book black americans in congress where sam ray burn the revered long time speaker of the house has a conversation when he first comes in and the gist of it is fresh men listen quitely and learn and don't go causing a ruckus. well, you can imagine, powell this new yorker from harlem listening to this texan explain to him the ways of the house and powell looked at him and said mr. speaker i have a bomb in both hands and i'm ready to hurl them but he had a great relationship with ray burn according to the account afterwards but he is constantly pressing the envelope in the house particularly by the 1960s when we go through a reform period during the kennedy and johnson associations and at the part of the great society with johnson. he is chairman of the committee and it pushes through 50 different measures related to education reforms so a very substantive legislator in addition to being, having a show h

the 1940's and you see it very clearly in this chicago district is that there is a shift in , african-american allegiance away from the american republican party, the party of reconstruction, to the party, the democratic party during the new deal. part of that has to do with the fact that african-americans are recruited by democratic city leaders. there is the promise of greater political participation. which is, that promise that pulled african-americans out of the south during the great migration to begin with. and also the fact that they have a slightly greater voice in the new deal coalition that franklin roosevelt puts together. so they are drawn toward the democratic party. mitchell is the embodiment of that. however, he is the opposite of depriest. he chooses not to be a surrogate representative. he downplays the fact that he is in african-american in congress. he does not want to push black issues as he told the press on numerous occasions. he served for a couple terms and is replaced by another member named william dawson who is one of the longest-serving african-americans in-house hi

but there were no african-american juries that i know of. oftenn-americans were disgruntled at the relationship with the censorship system. some films that seemed very insulting to african-americans were passed. past the censors without any editing, even though it included a carnival game called hit the n-word. the group felt the african-americans were the last group left that filmmakers could make fun of. it used to be "hit the jew" or butn with the irish," members of those groups watched like hawks at any attempt to belittle them. "birth of the nation" is basically approved in chicago without any citizen jury watching it and without -- from kaiser -- funkhouser does not make any false at all. nation" airs after the mayor approves it in any regular way. then a new mayor stops discrimination in chicago just a few weeks later. then that may or's ban on "birth of the nation" in chicago is overturned in a court. in this courtroom decision that basically allows "worth of the nation" to show, the judge questioned the wisdom of hate taste regulatio

speech to address the issues in inner cities. >> today i want to talk about how to grow the african-american for black america. that deal is grounded in three promises, safe communities, great education, and high-paying jobs. >> so a new deal for black americans. are you encouraged? >> it sounds good, but let's look at the details. he says safe communities, which is to suggest the primary problem is people are not safe, and that we just have rampant violent in the community. he says better schools, but he's against fully funding public education and he's talking about giving vouchers -- giving public money to private schools which mean students will not be able to attend and he says high-paying jobs but he says the minimum wage is already too high. he's again the living wage and 54% of african-americans make less than the living wage. he's also in this campaign is against healthcare and he supported governors who have declined to expand medicaid in the states where six out of ten african-americans live. interestingly enough, the majority of the people being hurt are white people. it has a di

it depicted violence on stage against african-americans. in the first year of its tour, neither of these claims was the basis for censoring the play. the play is not stopped, although there is significant criticism. so the play was controversial for inflaming racial antagonism, but it was not banned in any city until the aftermath of the atlanta race riot in september 1906. "the klansman" may have played a role in stirring up violence in atlanta. when the play appeared in atlanta in 1905, near the end of 1905, the audience became unruly and police worked to silence the racial hostility in the audience. after the atlanta riot, african-american citizens had more success asking local officials to stop the play. city governments were now more likely to agree to censor the play after this context of racial violence that seemed to be associated with the play. in philadelphia, in october 1906, a large group of african gathered outside of the walnut street theater when "the klansman" was scheduled to appear. 2000 african-americans came to protest a

there were african-americans living on that land. years ago,eading andng to learn about d.c., across from where it would be in 1830's, there were slave pens. that got my attention. unveil two new signs in d.c. -- one on slavery in d.c., and there are no signs currently talking about slavery in d.c. unless there is one in the pearl on the river -- heause when lincoln came, could see the slave pens from his office and he wrote about it. so we have the link", what it looked like to him. sidehen we have a second and we took from solomon northrup's own riding, the description of williams' private jail where he was captured and we are using images from in 1836 broad side -- slave market of america. so, we have to bring this history to light and we have to continue -- those of you working on your dissertations know there is more research to be done to find out the history of our places. [applause] did you have a question to pose? mr. franklin: what was it like working at frederick douglass? mr. stanton: frederick douglass was my first super

to the majority of african american communities in this country. majority of them are middle class, and we have a significant, in spite of the population, a significant upper middle class, a number of americans in this country as well. it appears that mr. trump may not be as well versed, or has not been as well coached as he should have been about african american communities, because we all know that those challenges are there. i put men and women in the street every day, here in georgia, very urban environment. 55, 50% of our population is african american, and the greatest majority of that 50%, quite frankly, are african americans who are middle class, and certainly we have our challenged areas, and in those areas where mr. trump talked about an absence of police, t not just about an absence of police. you have to have police in there. you can have all the police in the world, but you have to have police that know how to create and have relationships with people who live in those communities. so adding more police to the street is just not merel

middle-class, african-american relationship with nature and the evolution of african-american environmental thought. the southeast region will be taking a closer look at the historical significance of dr. martin luther king and coretta scott king in their later life when they lived in a home on sunset avenue in atlanta. the jimmy carter national historic site, the research focus is on african-american georgia where jimmy and roslyn carter grew up. this research will allow the park service to connect the story of the carters, who are proud graduates of plains high school, with the stories of african-american men and women who attended separate but equal unequal schools during the jim crow era, to connect them with those stories, but also stories of the resistance that brought about the desegregation of county schools. our northeast region will explore the history of reconstruction of the north least -- northeast. they will use that research to draw interpretive connections between park resources and issues relevant to contemporary society. issues such as the pervasive legacy of racial violen

african-american middle class. decimated. these jobs went to mexico and other places. politicians. democratic policies have also given rise to crippling crime and total violence. then there's the issue of taxation and regulation. massive taxes, massive regulation of small business and radical restrictions on american energy, have driven jobs and opportunities out of our inner cities and many cases out of our country. hillary wants to raise taxes very, very substantially on everybody and on business, and especially on small business as high as 45%, which will onl drive more jobs out of your community, out of our country and into other countries. one of the greatest betrayals has been the issue of immigration. illegal immigration violates the civil rights of african-americans. that's what's been

student and people that attend quite often not parents of african-american students but 25 on average since the last two apac meetings we'll have pretty great turns out so something that sparking and in the reports we want to engagement our family and pass on the information it is expanding i think the last meeting we had on mrs. marshall said one hundred i'll not say one hundred it was a nice packed room i think that sxhaengs know that is incredible and hopefully, they'll contact and become members the apac in addition to that general apac meeting our school remarks to the commission as a whole and not to individuals. we're feeding information from the general apac so it is individual sites and their using it and thinking about changing our location or not changing location but spreading the love across the country e across the city because current our meeting are in the bayview and people don't have transportation of my own and can't make it there but thinking about the leadership team and the parents are proponents of that and the parents are thinking of ways we can do is one of th

universal truth that the african-american story is indivisible from the american story. [applause] that story is often resilient, triumphant and inspiring. it is also tragic. the museum candidly confronts and interprets slavery and jim crow. legacy that haunt us to this day. because of its honesty, this museum will spark dialogue not just about our past, but about our present. it will be an important part of the national conversation helping us to more effectively face our racial issues and divisions and move forward somehow together. the striking monument to african-american contributions and citizenship, this national museum of african american history and culture will help us in our common cause of building a more perfect union. to quote lincoln, it will strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the nation's wounds. congratulations to director lonnie bunch and to his staff for this remarkable achievement and to the museums council, the missoni and regions -- smithsonian regents and all the stuff that made this day possible. thank you. -- staff that made this d

conclusion of a lot of historians and people that it's this was not separate in the sense that african-american history is also american history and you can't really understand the country and the constitution and the of lots of social and economic and political change in this country without looking at the african-american story. not reallyse, it's separate but it deserves a separate emphasis, it's own emphasis in building so that it does get the proper recognition toause we tried for decades get significant recognition in the american history museum and some of the other museums and that didn't work. having this new museum to really emphasize that story we felt was i think it plays a great role and it's right next door to the american history museum on the smithsonian. so they can have a dialogue and from that dialogue, i think we will all be richer for it. i think maybe one last question. >> thank you so much for coming today and for your effort in all of this. it's really impressive and inspiring. my question is that i'm doing some research on the importance inmemorials and monuments the se

you see tens of thousands african-american -- tens of thousands of african americans moving out of the rural south, additive agricultural jobs, to industrial jobs in chicago, st. york, andtsburgh, new the african american population in the city's increases and the african-americans in those cities are gradually recruited by the political parties. depriest is a perfect example of that process. he is born in the south. he and his family are part of a group that move to the midwest to kansas. he goes to grade school and high but he findssas, his way to chicago in the 1890's and moves up through the political system and becomes a chicago city councilman in the his career hasd some peaks and valleys. but by the 19 -- by the 1920's, he's part of the republican political machine in chicago as an alderman. 1928, when the sitting congressman from chicago, a very powerful republican on the appropriations committee passes away mid-congress in the fall elections, he runs for the seat and wins. in 1929, he comes to the house of representatives. >> one of my favorite things about his career is this

no group has been more economically harmed by decades of illegal immigration than low income african-american workers. hillary's pledge to enact open borders, made in secret to a foreign bank, wikileaks -- this wikileaks is unbelievable. [cheers] what we've learned about her and her people. what they've said about hear behind her back, but now it's not behind her back. she's got bad instincts, according to john podesta. hillary has bad instincts. i wouldn't want my people saying those things? i wonder what they're saying? can we check it out? they say terrible, terrible things about her. if they say that and work with her all the time, why would we want her to be president? [applause] at the center of my revitalization plan is the issue of trade. massive chronic trade deficits have emptied out our jobs. just look at what's happened to baltimore, detroit, pittsburgh, cleveland, and right here in north carolina, you than for a fact. it's the greatest jobs theft in the history of the world. if i'm president and the executives at ford motor company announce they are moving their jobs and plants t

so who were these african-americans? they were the very middle class and upper class african-americans who had fought and scratched so hard to get into those social classes. those who were much more closer than the white middle class to the crime and dysfunction, okay, of crime-filled areas. who were often telling him something needs to be done about this. from the drugs to the guns, etc., that are ruining neighborhoods, ruining lives. so the african-american support was critical for this, and clinton campaigned hard on it in places like churches such as the churches in memphis, tennessee. and where he proposed to be dr. martin luther king for a moment and said, well, i did not die for all of you to kill one another. this also contributed to -- [inaudible] kiss parities, disparities which are still present today and president obama is trying to handle through the department of justice. the next issue that he deals with also is racially fraught with danger, and that is the issue of crime. excuse me, welfare. welfare had s

about a million of the folks are african-americans. that's a serious issue. folks like chuck grassley, senator durbin has made mention there's a need for criminal justice reform, that's something that both parties agree on. where is that a social liberal policy? mr. trump has hit on the heart of the issues that face the african-american community and haven't heard much of that in this policy cycle. liz: we're out of time. you will stick around. watch this, the filmmaker michael moore said it sounded like he endorsed donald trump. i'm serious. the liberal filmmaker is on tape saying a trump win could be the biggest screw you to the political establishment in history. we'll bring you the full sound, you'll want to hear it for yourself. don't go away. >> trump's election is going to be the biggest [ bleep ] you ever recorded in human history. and it will feel good. you can run an errand.

police officers involved in a police action shooting involving an african american, why would hillary clinton accuse that african american police officer of -- >> i guess i can't believe you are defending position that

african-americans live in poverty.this is more than we've seen in a long time. that number has actually picked up slightly. you mentioned the wealth data and wealth data is astounding. today is black women's equal payday. that means if a black woman wanted to earn the same as a white man had earned, she would have to work until today, auguse woman there equal payday is april 12 or 13. a latina woman would be working until october. these are some of the inequalities that are basically hardwired into our system. not to mention the differential levels of homeownership. not to mention mention the fact that african-american homeownership took a real big hit during the great recession. the african-american homeownership level dropping. we can virtually, any piece of data that you look at shouts out these inequalities. what is it matter? wealth matters, first road policing because you have something to bail someone out with. talking about pale, if you have a home you can use the home. more than half of african-americans don't

and african-americans were its victims. and grant went on, a government that cannot give protection to life, property, and all guaranteed civil rights, including an untramled ballot is a failure. too long denial of guaranteed rights is sure to lead to revolution, suffering must fall on the innocent as well as the guilty. grant left the presidency in 1877, therefore seeing that while reunion had been achieved, justice for african-americans had not been. he still couldn't quite forget what had happened. after his presidency goes, a trip around the world. and among the people he meets is auto vaughn bismark, another great statesman of national reunification or unification. the two men talk. think of this conversation ulysess. grant and auto vaughn bismark. he goes your situation, you have to unite your country by blood and iron, through war. and grant says, but that wasn't all, it was also about slavery. we could not be a truly united people until we destroyed slavery. slavery is still on his mind. so is the attitude -- it's s

not just for african americans, but for women. and following her throughout the next four decades are roughly 40 african american women who are elected to congress. and that's an impressive number when you look at that number relative to the number of african americans who have served in congress from the beginning. it's a much larger percentage than for example caucasian women or hispanic women or asian american women. so, again, kind of the rising influence of women within that community and their role in congress. >> you know, one of the things that is interesting about looking at women in congress and african american women in congress is seeing the role on the national stage. and we have a couple artifacts here that really illustrate that. here is a cover of "ebony" magazine from 1969. right when shirley chisholm first took office. and she is on the cover. and really, it says "new faces in congress. mrs. shirley chisholm is first black woman on capitol hill." and she like many other members of congress become important nation

so what you have seen is him reaching out to african-americans, not necessarily to get african-americanonvince urban white women who don't want to vote for a racist that he's not racist. the problem with the current line of attack is suburban married white women don't like talking about infidelity. they don't like seeing it and don't want it a topic of the presidential campaign. it's a turn off for them to have it become a major issue. the threat he's going to bring it up in the next debate is a potentially dangerous one for a campaign that's been so single mindedly focused on appealing to women and puts them off. >> there's a new trump campaign ad to try to appeal to women voters. let's watch. >> the most important job any woman can have is being a mother. it shouldn't be taking pay cut. i'm ivanka trump, a mother, wife and prur. >> why from ivanka and not his wife, melania? >> we have not seen a lot of melania on the campaign trail. she hasn't been involved. >> isn't that odd? inside two months, doesn't america want to get to know the potential first lady? >> it is very unusual for th

very positive among african-americans and white americans as well. but in the 1960's, with the advent of the civil rights movement, washington's reputation declined very rapidly. many activists called him an uncle tom who had sold out his people to secure personal power and delay the coming of freedom actually. they lost all together. there are similarities between martin luther king who was the par after dime protest leader of that day and king and washington shared a commitment shaping the way whites perceived racial character in order to elicit fair treatment for blacks. washington and king both warned of the danger of hate and the power of love and reconciliation. just as washington portrayed blacks as moral, king said loving and unworthy of the treatment. if king was harder on whites than washington, he preached that the worst of whites could be redeemed. both king and washington appealed to democratic values, the imperative for reforming race relations and said equality and freedom would come to african-americans the the difference was that kin

and in any african-american report, quote african-american report, an attorney from atlanta said that he believed that for too long in ms. kennedy silence has been interpreted as consent. and i put that over my desk. silence has been interpreted as consent. and i think what's going on now and forsyth is exactly what jason is talking about the there's a real veneer of normalcy, a real veneer of suburban affluence but there are big box stores bigger. are often people of color working cash registers at best buy. when i went to their, almost no one knows about this. maybe they do know. i hope they do now but almost none of the people who moved from atlanta knew about it. foprecise is the hottest real estate market in the city. at least until very to i don't think it's true but recently was named among the top 25 wealthiest happen counties in the entire country. this is a place where people got extremely wealthy. it's not like this land ended up being taken from blac black vots and the two state farmland that it has become unbelievable generator of wealth. when i first started going around

when i see young police officers with the african-american we think you for your service. they're out to protect us and protect our society. it was moving to see the young demonstrators in charlotte, north carolina, shaking hands and hugging the national guardsmen. >> how old are you. you didn't live during the era of march. when you think about what's going on today and what you've learned about in this history what are your thoughts. there is a bright light and the fact that we are actually seeing many of these killings i don't think they are happening in isolation i don't think they just started. i think they've been happening for quite some time but because of the nature of camera phones and technology in technology we are able to record these incidences and they can't be swept under the rug anymore. i think the first step towards dealing with them. and finally we are able to have a national conversation around it. and my hope is that that spurs organizing protesting and action on the part of our elected officials. for me growing up in the district i heard about the ci

african-americans grew more affluent after 1965, by the end of the 20th century the net financial assets of the highest fifth of black american households were 7,448, only $348 above that of the lowest fifth of white american households. and the black middle class has always been concentrated in the public sphere of social services. in celebrating the racial inclusion championed by african-american activists and their allies in classroom ares across the nation during black history month every year, the fact that many of the critical reforms of the postwar period have been negated by national crime control priorities remains unrecognized. for instance, nine years after the passage of the voting rights act -- the dawn of mass incarceration -- the supreme court ruled it constitutional to deny convicted felons the right to vote. states have consistently removed convicts from voter rolls ever since the court's 1974 richard ard v. ramirez -- richardson v ramirez decision, and nearly six million americans are deprived of the franchise. as a result of the disparities in policing and criminal jus

or calls african-americans the african-americans.ean, the messenger matters, how you present that message to people matters. they won't hear you. if they think you're a bigot, forget about it. >> j.d., then mayor. >> well, i think that's absolutely right, it's not just that donald trump doesn't speak to issues of special concern of minority voters, it's that he seems to like actively antagonizing a lot of the black vote. unfortunately, that's been the republican party strategy for 30 years. i say that as a republican who wants the party to get more black voters. trump seems to be taking that to the next level. it shows in the polls he's not going to do exceptionally well on election day. >> there are those of us who look at the mistakes in the past and look at them, and people like paul ryan or jack kemp, they rised what needs to be said and how to do it, and it's gone to the wayside, because of who our candidate is, and he can't articulate that, it's really set us back, unfortunately. >> i think the important thing to remember -- >>

back in the 1950s and african-americans couldn't socialize with white groups in society. so they formed their own groups and within those groups they had elements of the same white society groups of rejection and acceptance. so they really mirrored those groups. so i wanted the viewer of all these new black tie paintings to feel as uncomfortable as we felt when we approached that table. so most of the work as the eye pating. >> i was going to say how does your message about middle class frills in new works compare to the message in your black tie series 35 years ago? >> it's kind of the same message. but there's more of an inclusion of african motif. i'm including gold leaf in the paintings this will time and it's more a celebration of the african side as well as the american side . >>> let's take a look at some of the work of art and see if you can i guesscr each one. like this one right here you can see. >> that's a good one to start with because it shows the goal leaf which is a new element in the new paintings. the gold leaf is a part of the element that is also accep

so that's appealing to not just african-americans but americans as a whole. >> i watched today and i remember the speech that she gave after his access hollywood came out and i said it was perfect. i thought today was even better, because she was sort of addressing some disaffection within the obama coalition. is that possible for her to get better? >> i think he's definitely getting stronger. i think the idea is everybody was wondering how much are you going to see of michelle obama? she wasn't really someone who wanted to campaign heavily. but this idea is she's motivated by the fact that she's making the case also for obama's legacy. she doesn't want the person who comes after her husband to be the person who is saying that her husband was almost an illegitimate president because he supposedly wasn't born in this country. so i think he is getting into his stride there. also the energy is there, and i think what's important is, hillary clinton spoke first today. and that to me was in some ways surprising, because hillary clinton i think is acknowledging even in the placement of whe

yet too many african-americans have been left behind.een left behind. 45% of african-american children under the age of 6 live in poverty. 58% of african-american youth are not currently employed. african-americans comprise roughly 13% of the population. yet make up 60% of murder victims under the age of 22. that's some number, isn't it though? some number. in 2015, violent crime in charlotte increased by 18%. and it's expected to rise to 24% this year. in chicago, nearly 3,500 people have been shot since january 1st of this year. it's not a very long time ago. think of it, 3,500 people. the conditions in our inner cities today are totally unacceptable, and we have to fix them. the democrats have run -- [ applause ] the democrats have run our inner cities for 50, 60, 70 years or more uninterrupted. they have run the school boards, the city councils, the mayor's office and the congressional seats. their policies have failed. and they fail eeds mie eed miss. they oppose school choice and every single turn. the clinton's gave us nafta, one

african american, european american, asian american. it feels like it is the same like there is an openness to this idea of what we can be. 10 years ago , when i was working on this thing, it felt like people were not open. you are an idealist, you are too optimistic. we will never see this type of change. i think people are starting to take responsibility for their own their own ecosystems. you are doing it with the journalism, i'm doing it with film. you have black lives matter, all of these social groups driven by young people. they are not falling for the pamphlet that leads everyone out. they are doing the research themselves. karen: you use the term taking responsibility, which gives me the opening to talk about the controversy following you recently. nat turner. is there a part of nate parker's history that you would want to rewrite? >> i will say this. i have addressed this a number of times, and i'm sure i will address it in different forms. i think this forum is for the film. i'm not the only one that worked on the film. there

african-americans, there is a slight drop. i think that is more of a statistical error than anything else. i think that obama holds his own amongst these groups. this is the group i think they are most concerned with. they figure they would do less well with his group then both elections. looking at the latest polling, nationwide -- i put this crude graph together. clinton is beating donald trump 58 by 22 amongst urban voters. you think that is great, but it's slightly less well than obama did. there are different class locations of who is a urban or suburban voter. but generally most categorizations seeing obama winning 60-65% of this group, so this is doing less well. you can see that this does not add up to 100%, does it? there is a fair amount of undecided voters. rural area tend to back republican candidates. that is know that uncommon. -- that is not all that uncommon. democrats do well in the cities that offsets the smaller counties. i take somewhat issue that there are these single bill whether counties. counties.bellw

embrace that really shows the depth of the lack of understanding about what the conditions of african-americans in this country actually is, and to some extent i think we can understand that. we live in a deply segregated country where white peel have no idea what black people's livers are like in this country, and it's not the same necessarily for african-americans who see the lives of white people on television all the time. but that does speak to an additional problem which is that there's a more general issue with the absence of seeing for white people and ordinary white people, and there's a whole number of ways our lives are distorted in this country, and talking about "black lives matter" is really about bringing attention to the conditions of black people, which i think for most americans are shrouded and they have absolutely no understanding of. >> host: where were you raised? >> guest: agree up in texas. i'm from dallas. i spent -- i was there for most of the early part of my life and then lived in upstate new york, new york city for a while, and then in chicago. and in new york and c
