african-american banks in our communities, in our country, do make a difference. we help to grow the economy, and we help to build jobs. this has been history, and we continue to do it today. i and other new orleans citizens founded the liberty bank in 1972, followed what i like to call the second civil war, the civil rights movement of the 1960's. historic men and women like my leanian,nd fellow new or ambassador young, who fought and won battles for basic rights in nonviolent protests that ended the denial and access of african-americans to public places and insured our right to vote. the battle of economic equity in overcoming blatant disparity for which dr. martin luther king was murdered continues today. today, there are only a handful of african-american-owned banks. a little over 25. that is from a number when i got into the banking business of close to 100, and during the period i mentioned earlier, 130 african-american owned banks. the assets of these institutions today are nearly $6.1 billion. they employ 2000 plus people and have equity capital of $550x

. >> if you have african american poverty rates of 35%.you have youth unemployment at 51%, when you have unbelievable rates of incarceration, which by the way, leaves the children back home without a dad or even a mother, clearly, we are looking at institutional racism. we are looking at an economy in which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. and sadly in america today, this our economy, a whole lot of those poor people are african american. >> while hillary clinton noted that the debate venue was one of america's most racially divided cities. she name checked the local man killed by police and while she largely agreed with sanders economic case she ended up delivering a broader more nuanced view of systemic racism. >> we have to restore policing that will actually protect the communities that police officers are sworn to protect. and then we have to go after sentencing. and that's one of the problems here in wisconsin because so much of what happens in the, justice system doesn't happen at the federal level, it happens at the sta

you see a significant african-american population.g win in south carolina, get the biggest basket of delegates y. is this so important? let's turn offer the demographics for a second. take you back to 2008. obama obama obama obama obama. this is where the race changed. once we got into the state wrz the african-americans are the majority of the population, obama won south carolina with 55%. he came next door and won in georgia with 66%. he came over and won alabama with 56%. he won here in mississippi with 61%. and he won louisiana with 57%. so winning and winning by a healthy margin and as david axelrod and donna were talking about in the democratic districts you pick up big delegates. that is hillary's big goal. bernie says he's in it until the end. he's hoping after sk tonight she proves she can win the most african-american votes, carry the momentum through the south on super tuesday to convince bernie sanders, you're not going to be able to catch me. tone it down. that's her biggest goal. >> in addition to the earned delegates he

african-americans could be fully integrated into our nation's economic life. the bank represented the federal government's commitment to helping make financial inclusion a reality, and that as a challenge we still face today and a commitment we need to renew today. far too many are excluded today. many americans, especially low income and minority families, have little or no access to the financial system. without a credit or banking history, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to qualified for the most basic access to a home mortgage or small business loan. without access to the financial system, it is almost impossible to build savings and investment that are essential to a secure financial future. without a financial education, many do not even understand the tools they need to build this future. under president obama's leadership, the administration has worked to address these issues. as the president has said, if you're willing to work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to find a good job, feel secure in your community, and support a famil

i think we're going to see african-americans lining up on both sides of african-americans by asking the questions and really shaping their platform towards the african-american vote and what we need. >> do you think the appeals that are being made to reach out to them, you know, bernie sanders going to harlem, hillary clinton, you know, focusing on south carolina and reminding african-americans of the history and the members of the black caucus endorsing hillary clinton last week. do you think that it's going to have the kind of impact that we saw galvanize the black vote in 2008? >> no, i don't think it's going to galvanize it in the same way. i think that the current political structure is more challenged by how to attract young black people. black people in general. because it's gog issue focused. 2008 was very emotional. black people came out to elect the first black president and the issues came behind that. we know there were struggles. now that we're at that platform, that's been done. we don't have to elect the first female president. we don't have to elect an individual who's a

they are all african-american composers, some of whom are no longer with us.a mcgee is just 29 years old. he's an amazing composer. so once a year, the last sunday in january, we do a concert and it's in tribute to african-american composers and it's done at the east side college prep tore school. if people are interested, they can go to our website and also contract us because we can put you in our database and let you know whenever our concerts take place. >> everyone should know those names. chris, you spoke about teaching our youth about our black history and these are some of the things that you guys are working on in the oakland unified school district. >> that's right, that's right. i want to acknowledge actually one elder who i wouldn't be here doing the work i'm doing if it wasn't for the work that he has started in oakland really since the '60s, oscar rice who's been a staunch advocate for the education of all african-american children in particular, so i just want to acknowledge him and his work. we are actually going to be incorporating his life st

he also stands out as an african american in a sport dominated by white athletes. research by u-s-a swimming found that nearly 70 percent of african americans don't know how to swim. >> it's unfortunate, but you know i think swimming is a growing sport. >> as he continues to set records and gain notoriety, he hopes his impact can change those numbers. >> that's the message that i want to relay to younger kids is that you kow is that swimming is a great sport. >> don't go away! >> there's more of visions 2016 coming up. >> welcome back to visions 2016 celebrating black history month. >> philadelphia is home to several acclaimed african-american authors such as solomon jones, lori tharps, and diane mckinney-whetstone. >> here are few bookstores keeping the community "stocked" with literature vernon odom has the story. >> ariell johnson opened amalgam comics and coffeehouse just a few months ago. it's the first comic book shop on the east coast that's owned by a black woman. >> you know a black girl geek, not that were not out there but when you, when you think of lik

we have results, bernie sanders doesn't and we've always been there for african american vote. again it's a frustrating thing for hillary clinton to go into south carolina eight years after she went in there still trying to get the african american vote from a democratic competitor but she's going to have to work for it. and the polling there and all indications seem to be that that is in her favor. >> given that bernie sanders needed to seacial had a must-win with new hampshire he got it, the polls are showing somewhat of a dead heat in south nevada, that south carolina has emerged as a must-win for hillary clinton? >> it's sensational to say that. i don't think it is. because supertuesday there are 12 states in play, she's up ten of the 12 polls and the two she's not is vermont and massachusetts. as far as bernie sanders needs to create and keep momentum, needs to keep it, it would not be good news for hillary clinton would she to lose in south carolina. also, it would get a lot of voters who are not paying as close attention who will be bombarded with these ads and these can

but does clinton have the african-american vote sewn up?g me now, michael nutter, cnn contributor, the former mayor of philadelphia, who is a hillary clinton supporter. and van jones, political commentator. thank you guys for coming on. so you heard symone there going toe to toe with me. she's a force to be reckoned with, and we like having her on. van, black voters have been loyal to both bill and hillary clinton for years now. the big question, is that changing or can she still count on that support? >> don, you never take any support for granted -- >> van first. then michael. go ahead, van. >> i'm sorry. >> it's okay. >> let's be honest. it is not news when bill clinton goes to harlem. bill clinton had offices in harlem. it's not news when hillary clinton goes to harlem. so we have to be very, very honest here. i think bernie sanders has a lot of room to grow in the black community and i think he will grow in the black community. but where we are right now, he has not made those strong connections yet. philosophically, yes. historically,

significant african-american population. democratic primary, 55%, a majority of the votes of the democrats are likely to be african-american. in 2008, president obama won nearly 8 in 10 of those. it was game over. an african-american candidate winning a huge slice. hillary clinton ran second to john edward and obama third there. now hillary clinton versus bernie sanders. can bernie sanders make inroads in time? that vote coming up in the next two weeks. can he make inroads to narrow her lead. this is what headquarter hopes for. in 1992 when bill clinton was running, came in second place. came down to south carolina looking to get on track and he did because it was then 43% of the vote in the democratic primary. so the clintons have a history with the african-american community in south carolina. it's not all good. 1992 was a plus. in 2008 tensions. hillary clinton believes that's her greatest advantage now. and the question is can senator sanders who has not had to do this as a senator from vermont, can he build those relati

a majority of the electorate, over 60% is african-american. she won 84% of african-americans. despite losing the white vote, as she has been doing to bernie sanders throughout the early states, when you have a lot more african-american vote, it makes a huge difference for her.

african-americans just wanted an african-american president. we did not really look at his politics. and you see what he said. plain and simple. he is not some lefty, not someone -- he is not on the left. he is a central democrat. and so part of what i wanted was a progressive agenda. do what you have to do to stop the economy, but was reorient, change the frame so that everyday ordinary working people could have a chance to not only dream dreams but to make those dreams reality. that would mean we would have to change the phenomenon that we have seen to change the economic philosophy and so many ways so that we could begin to emphasize. how do we get home ownership to be such were folks are not subject to predatory lending? how do we checked the financial position of the economy? what is interesting is that president obama understands what it means, the level of inequality. so on his watch my wealth is 13 times that of blacks. on his watch child poverty is increased. the 1st time in history was keeping data. >> the black unemployment. >> let's

in my district, african-americans triple. generations are being left behind without a fair shot of success. the economic prosperity and the economic dream are on hold for the african-american communities. instead of working to address bearing ublicans are assault by trying to defund planned parenthood. democrats are working on bold ctions that will help an immediate impact on the challenges facing african-americans. i have tried to do my part here in congress. my safer neighborhoods would bye-back.oluntary a and that is one measure that we have to look at. but in talking about dr. king's "tale it reminds me of a of two cities." it's the best of times and the worst of times. yes, we have seen an african-american rise to the opinion call of success to this country in public service and the president of barack obama, dr. king would be very proud of that. but he would be upset to see the other part, the despair that our communities are in. without the opportunities to raise their children as other communities do. dr. king was abo

of african-americans.iously it's a big part of the democratic primary. she hasz stretched the lead in the delegates race. sheps to win big among the pledged delegates. you win on caucus day. yes, she loves having the establishment support. this is what hillary clinton wants to do on super tuesday. if she can keep it up like this, she gets most of the delegates. if she can get a big lead, carry that through super tuesday, she starts to stretch it out. >> exit polls show she is even doing better in the african-american vote among democrats in south carolina. senator barack obama did eight years ago when he decisively carried that state. the exact numbers for you later. anderson, back to you. >> wolf, thanks very much. we are expecting hillary clinton to speak any moment in south carolina. we of course will cutaway and bring that to you live as it happens. stick around for that. let's first go to analyst reporters and your commentators. in terms of hillary clinton, what does this mean mean for her? moving for

dominating the african-american vote.unning up the score not just in a primary but with african-americans. that will be gigantic for her these upcoming contest. she's is not taking any votes for granted. john: i think that is correct. the sanders people say they have a much more sophisticated field operation. more volunteers on the ground. everything that i can feel is that hillary can land a big punch and she is going to swing hard. today president obama unveiled a plan to close down what time of day in cuba sending congress a proposal to transfer detainees to prisons here on domestic soil. toublicans were quick criticize this move. marco rubio announced he is cosponsoring a bill to prevent gitmo from being transferred to cuban control without the approval of congress. declined to rule out the possibility of executive action. why is president obama doing this? mark: this is one of the important legacy issues. he thinks is always on this issue if he does the right thing in terms of public policy if he runs the numbers and

jose anderson: you had a group of african-american professionals, a group of african-american creativeom which houston and marshall could draw encouragement from the whole post-harlem renaissance era, and so that community actually helped to energize momentum for the legal campaign across the entire country. jose anderson: new york was an exciting place to be the headquarters for the campaign. in fact new york had plenty of race issues of its own. thurgood marshall: after a riot would break in harlem a code number would go out to all policemen in the 123rd street precinct - that's right in the middle of harlem. in the meantime all of the white policemen in harlem, where the riot is going on, just stand perfectly still. and don't use a weapon, don't use a gun, just stand there until you're replaced. and then these guys go out in these other cars, and the colored fella taps the white fella on the shoulder, he gets in the car. and it about, well less than an hour, there are all black cops there. so where is the race riot? the race riot is gone. and then walter white, roy wilkins and i wou

an african-american right.see rieing right ina lot of the african-american centrists are grouping around the clintons. john lewis was with hillary clinton against obama almost until the very end. >> remember we talked about this years ago when it happened when the black establishment did not support -- they said we don't know this guy, we're supporting hillary clinton. >> i pointed out in my column that that's an electability issue. because we pay attention to electability. which is why i believe that bernie sanders is going to have a tough sell, not just giving bernie more respect they deserve. i think a lot of african-americans are more pragmatic only because life has made us so. and that's -- >> quickly, van. i want to bring something else up. go ahead. >> i think it's important to recognize that for the black left, so you're talking about a michelle alexander, a keith ellison, this is an opportunity for them to assert themselves as a political wing of our community and say we're not just going to go with th

the election oral te in 2008, 55% african-american. look at the number. over 60% at 61%. there's some evidence it may be higher than that. then look at the difference between south carolina and the first three states here when it comes to the idea of continuing obama's policies. 70% in south carolina want to continue president obama's policies. in the other three states, you had a t had closer to 50 and under in new hampshire. and then there's the overall ideology. this is the least liberal electorate of the first four states so far as you can see there. south carolina just 52% of democrats identify themselves as 70 in nevada, near 70 in new hampshire. this is an electorate that looks more like mocratic electorates across the country. much less like an electorate that bernie sanders can do well . >> coming into south rolina, hillary clinton and bernie sanders were quick to tailer their messages to african-american voters who as chuck pointed out make up more than half the electorate. i spoke to some black vointers in south carolina who wanted the candidates to know that n

african-american judges were an african-american president, that's all we wanted. so we didn't really look at what his policies were. when you read the audacity of hope, when you see what he says, president obama is a senseless democrat. plain and simple. is not some lefty. he's not someone coming from -- is on the left. he is a centrist democrat in the vein of bill clinton. support of what i've been wanting if i were to write something in 2009 is a progressive agenda. do what you have to do to stop the bleeding of the economy but let's we orient, let's change the frame, let's change the frame so the every -- everyday ordinary working people can have a chance, a chance to only dream dreams that make those dreams a reality. what would that mean? that would mean in some ways we would have to change the economics that we have seen since reagan and some ways since carter. we would have to change the economic philosophy that the democratic party in silly ways has conceded to so we can begin to emphasize how do they get these wages from being flatlined? how do we get hom

a majority of the electorate, over 60% is african-american. she won 84% of african-americans. despite losing the white vote, as she has been doing to bernie sanders throughout the early states, when you have a lot more african-american vote, it makes a huge difference for her. this could foreshadow a big night for her super tuesday. half the states being contested super tuesday have electorates that are anywhere from 30% to 50% -- over 50% non-white. this could be the beginning of a march to the nomination for hillary clinton if tuesday looks anything like tonight. >> chuck todd, thanks. more on tonight's south carolina results

a majority of the electorate, over 60% is african-american. she won 84% of african-americans. despite losing the white vote, as she has been doing to bernie sanders throughout the early states, when you have a lot more african-american vote, it makes a huge difference for her. this could foreshadow a big night for her super tuesday. half the states being contested super tuesday have electorates that are anywhere from 30% to 50% -- over 50% non-white. this could be the beginning of a march to the nomination for hillary clinton if tuesday looks anything like tonight. >> chuck todd, thanks. more on tonight's south carolina results on nbcnews.com. nbc news projects hillary clinton is the overwhelming winner in the south carolina primary. i'm lester holt, nbc >>> on this saturday night, southern showdown. hillary clinton expecting a big boost. bernie sanders hoping it keep it close in tonight's south carolina democratic primary. both already looking ahead to the delegates up for grabs on super tuesday. >>> is he unstoppable? trump gets key endorsements. the battle gets uglier betwe

with you does clinton has the african-american vote sewn up? is michael nutter and van jones. you heard simone there going toe to toe with me. she's a force to be reckoned with. we like having her on. black voters have been loyal to bill and hillary clinton for many years now. is that changing or can she still count on that support? >> well -- >> don, you never take any support for granted. >> van first. >> i'm sorry. >> that's okay. >> let's be honest. it is not news when bill clinton goes to harlem, okay? bill clinton had offices in harlem. it's not news when hillary clinton goes to harlem. we have to be very, very honest here. i think bernie sanders has a lot of room to grow in the black community and i think he will grow in the black community. but where we are right now, he has not made those strong connections yet. philosophically yes, historically yes, but practically not yet. the reason why he has the ability to catch up, at least in part, is because i believe his resonates so strongly with the younger african-american you just had on a

contest in the south for democrats in the south and the first where they are competing for the african-american vote. on this business night. clinton and sanders find themselves competing for attention with a republican candidate. our team has it covered. first to south carolina carolina. >> reporter: clinton campaign officials feel confident. they are hoping to match or beat senator sanders' win in new hampshire. that would give second clinton big momentum heading into super tuesday. >> reporter: secretary clinton coasting to an expected win in the first southern primary. for clinton, south carolina is a key par of her southern firewall. it's a test for whether she can reclaim what was lost here in 2008. >> i want to congratulate senator obama. >> reporter: after her defeat here in barak obama that all but ended her white house bid. >> i think what happened, she wants redemption and vers here in south carolina want redemption. there are thousands of voters here in@ south carolina that were planning on voting for her. then barak obama won iowa. they don't regret who they voted for, but now they

he represents can represent us or represent me in terms of what african americans are asking. so i think that's the factor that's weighing on bernie sanders in terms of his connection in the african american community. although i think he sure is trying hard."3 shaw says clinton's powerful endorsements can also make it difficult for sanders to get but we'll just have to see how primary unfolds come february 27th.in columbia, loren thomas news 19 wltx. 3 we can expect to see more of bernie sanders and hilary clinton this week... as they continue to campaign in south carolina before the primary. today...clinton will continue her breaking down barriers forum... in columbia with an event at the central baptist church on clement road at 6:15... doors open at 4:45. both candidates hit the talk show circuit yesterday. clinton says even after saturday's win ... the close finish proves she still needs to show *why she's the best choice for the democrats.i know that i have to make my case, i have to demonstrate what i've achieved, i have to really make clear, look we want to make progre

there was a lot of interest in african american history, having the first african-american president in the white house. i was lucky enough to be assigned by the associated press to cover obama that weekend. i remember holding up -- pulling to the obamas townhouse in chicago thinking about what book what i write next. and right at that spot is when it hit me. i got so excited about the topic and so i immediately called my editor. down mydiately tamped enthusiasm and told me to think about it. really sure that i had a good idea about what i wanted to do. brian: what was the idea? jesse: the idea was to write a story about the african-american slaves who lived inside the white house. was still the country talking about how great and how unique it would be if an african-american president lived inside the white house. i said to myself, i understand that would be great but he cannot have been the first african-american to live there. and then the thought process went on -- so who were the first african-american to live there? we knew there were african-american butlers but i thought ther

his relationship to african americans will not be what my relationship is. and my relationship certainly isn't what my parents' was. nevertheless, we're all very much influenced, you know, by how we come up, who we grow up with. >> hinojosa: so does your son talk to your dad about the fact that he was a black panther? >> yes. in fact, my son is reading the autobiography of malcolm x right now, over the summer. >> hinojosa: and your son is 11? >> yes. >> hinojosa: now, you talk about the fact that in your family, mom and dad-- you know, there could have been all kinds of crazy stuff going on out on the street, in terms of guns and drugs and police and all that. and you were inside your home, being forced to read ishmael reed. >> yes. >> hinojosa: i love that image. so are you doing that to your son? are you, like, "no, no, no, no, no, you have to stay home and read the autobiography of malcolm x? >> yeah, but you know what? he's a lot more adept than i was and he's quicker. he's actually... he's a much quicker reader and, you know, he comprehends things a lot

so the migration of african-americans who the poor ones i should add, the imp impoverished african-americans are engaging in high levels of crime in the northern cities, that baby boom and the collapse of the criminal justice system all three contribute to what became the great crime tsunami. >> i want to focus on this question of norms and culture of violence that you mention. where does this come from? how should we understand this? >> well it is very important because we don't want to be understood has making a biological argument or racist argument saying some races are more prone to crime. no one believes that. i certainly don't agree with that. but what accounts to some groups engaging in more crimes than others? if it isn't genetics or biological explanation there must be another explanation and that is where culture enters in. culture can be viewed as the values and norms of a distinctive groups and some would add the behaviors of that group and i would add over a fairly long period of time. it cannot be something short run. when a group begins to adhere to certain values and when it

but was there a specific reference to african-american unemployment? >> i referenced an answer to a previous question, the very high rates of unemployment of african-americans, that persist even with current aggregate. >> if i may -- let me share this thought to you. if it ises and i believe you are in agreement that it is a serious problem. not just a problem. >> i certainly agree. >> if it is a serious problem, i would ask that you make it a part of your actual statement that you present and that you publish it and that you continue to say to those of us who can make a difference and we should be able to make the difference here in congress, we have the responsibility here to focus as well. but if you would make it a part of your statement and if you would publish this, i think it can have a meaningful impact on policymakers up and down the line. so just a small request but i think it would make a really big difference. so i'm going to ask that you do. >> i'm certainly open to doing so. i'll certainly take that seriously. >> thank you. now, let's mov

so i have to say we have right now an african-american president. if you look at unemployment with african-american youth, monique, it's 58%, 59%, probably even higher than that. if you take african-americans who i have friends that are having a hard time getting a job in prime age, 30, 40, 45, even 50, their numbers are not

the votes in the democratic primary came from african-americans. she pitched her vote through this number. she is continuing that as she moves across the south in anticipation for super tuesday. earlier today hillary clinton was in alabama talking about the importance of protecting social security. [ ♪ ] >> take a stand folks, there. they are trying to protect social security. for goodness sakes, why do they have to be here? because the republicans want to privatize and turn over the social security trust fund. can you think of a worse idea? i tell you that will never happen on my watch. >> reporter: i'm not sure if you can hear me, but that was her promise to the voters there, all voters, but particularly african-american voters who make up a substantial number of democrats there as well. we are expecting her to arrive her in colombia in the next hour or so where she will, obviously, give a victory speech and urge voters throughout the super tuesday states to vote for her in the next round >>> we could hear you. we may not be able to hear you in t

strength with african-american voters and latino voters and even though sanders made a slight dent onide, we think, he didn't do enough to rob her of that coalition but to big delegate leads on march 1 and the way the democratic process works, when she pulls ahead, it will be very, very hard for sanders to catch up. here reinforces her connection to her super delegates. they believe that she is the nominee and she should be. if she has the superdelegates and she wins most of the states in march, just the way the delegate map works, bernie sanders can never catch up unless he wins caucuses with over 50% of the vote, and that is extremely unlikely given that she has a stronghold along with the other candidates of the democratic party. john: absolutely. why lyndon isnow so formidable. this is the fact that he he has a hold of the party as well and it could come back. are the scenarios that bernie sanders could come back and take her nomination? the only scenario that i see, and it is not a totally impossible scenario, but he has got to win a state that he has got to win. if bernie sander

he was so revered in the african-american community. and so many of them felt it was an honer to sor to sit down wit. and then in fact, you feel this intimacy of two people not necessarily having walked the same path but two people with really shared appreciation for one another having this conversation about what it meant to be black in america, what it meant to overcome the obstacles, whether they came from families of affluence and extended education as julian did or whether they came from deep poverty. they somehow had this intimacy because they understood that they shared some of the basic experiences of people making assumptions about you simply because of the color of your skin. >> how did this project fit into it the larger african-american oral history tradition? >> well, there's a deep oral history tradition of witnessing, of talking through words. and i suspect it does go back to a time when there was much more limited literacy. and it was through the word that ideas and values were spread. first and foremost through the chur

african-american youth is 58% unemploy unemployed. african-americans in their prime are substantially worse off, you know, economically than a -- than the whites in their prime. it's a very sad situation. i'm going to do great with afterno african-americans, you watch. and hispanics. i want to get clarification on comments you made this week at the cnn town hall about obamacare. >> why would insurance company not have a pre-existing -- >> i like the mandate.

clinton has much more support among african-americans. why hasn't sanders' message resonated among blacks? >> well, i think that, number one, blacks are analyzing the message and what can actually be accomplished and what can't. number two, i think that blacks also look at relationships and look at histories, and, clearly, when it comes to issues that are important to african-americans, hillary has been on the right side and been an advocate for it, even in some circumstances you may say that sanders made a vote or two that were good, but you could also show, for example, his position on guns that were not good for the african-american community. and if you ask who's been more in the forefront on issues that are important to african-americans, it's been bernie sanders. bernie sanders has basically been a leader in the socialist movement, but even in the socialist movement, there's racism. >> how is it racist? how is it racist? there are, within socialism, that just looks at class, as if that's gonna resolve racial issues. so, that is not
