and here in this stream today a wave of african-americans are choosing to move to the african continent but why and what happens when they get there join the conversation using the hash tag. or if you're watching live on you tube you'll eventually see us in that box you can leave your comments in the chat box and you too could be in the stream. in recent years thousands of african-americans have made the decision to quote return home to the african continent many say they want to escape the racial pressure pot of the united states while some want to connect to the land of their ancestors for others countries like ghana with an easy immigration process and the promise of a better life though many african countries are welcoming of the americans in their midst not everyone is thrilled by their new neighbors so joining us to talk about all of this in accra ghana. she's a marketing and media consultant she also made a documentary film blacks it about the migration of african americans in capetown south africa. he's an anthropologist and social literacy consultant in namibia kaylin reach int

i am an african-american myself. my comment is if we really need to change our community, we need to be honest with us first. first of all, black on black crime, i always hear about police brutality but if i take baltimore, if i take chicago, citiesrican-american where african-americans are the majority, we have our own people killing our own brothers. i do not see the outrage. the outrage is only there when it is a white man killing a black man. also, a lot of my fellow ged,ers do not even have a high school diploma. it is as if we do not really understand that education is the key. the only time i hear about my black brother is when they play basketball or saying. -- sing. we need to understand that we need to educate our own. how many african-americans are born to a single home parent? we need to go back to our values. we need to start a change with our self first and then we can continue. host: marc morial? guest: i wonder if the caller has heard of freemen rebel ski, the president -- freemen ruboq ski? this conf

you had african-americans on u street. they had taken up sniper .n the rooftops and so when world war ii came around, when all americans began to see our entrance into world i would be inevitable, african-americans said we are going to fight for victory at home. the pittsburgh courier called this the double v. we want the double v. hadollege campuses they double v contests. really became an all caps the aspect of african-americans desire to serve that we would get this victory abroad. this time we would not stop our education at home. that agitation began with the struggle to desegregate the armed forces. make no mistake. but we today call the civil rights movement began with the struggle to desegregate america's military. terrific. this notion of internal and external enemies -- we have to fight for the right to fight, fight for our own rights. bring democracy here before we can take it around the world. very interesting concept. i think you make the case quite convincingly that the african-american experience in the mili

you had african-americans on u street. they had taken up sniper --itions on the rooftop read rooftop. and so when world war ii came around, when all americans began to see our entrance into world african-americans said -- we are going to fight for victory at home. we want the double v. our college campuses had double v contests. an all-encompassing aspect it would not stop our agitation at home and that agitation began with the struggle to desegregate the armed forces. today what we call the civil rights movement began with the struggle to desegregate america's military. >> this notion of internal and external enemies, we have to fight for the right to fight, .ight for our own rights i think you make the case quite convincingly that the african-american experience in the military mirrored that in some ways. but mirrored that of the african-american experience. if your experience in the military would play to out that -- play to that if in fact you felt that the military was ahead of the rest of society or behind, how you s

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

against african-american employees, african-american women, for example, were typically hired in menial labor. these are women who had high school diplomas, college degrees , who had vocational training, and compared to their white counterparts they are being hired in what we call dirty jobs. they are discriminated against and not allowed to hold jobs in sales, clerical work, or as supervisors. 559 you are from baltimore and one of your favorite sons, the late supreme court justice thurgood marshall, what role did he play? he provided the legal precedent for civil rights and making legal games. his efforts allowed for the implementation of the 1964 civil rights act that creates the equal employment opportunities commission, but also in the civil rights act, there is title vii which outlaws employment discrimination based on gender, race, country of origin, and religion. when you teach this subject at umass amherst and talk to african-american students, male and female, do they understand what was happening in the 1950's? i think they have some inkling of what is going on, but when i get

many mexican americans and african-american african-americans and japanese-americans, particularly after pearl harbor in december of 1941, support what was known as the double v campaign. the double v campaign was victory abroad, against hitler, mussolini and fascism, but also victory at home for first-class membership in american society. you can't win abroad without also winning at home. but you couldn't fight for american democracy overseas without fighting for equal citizenship on the home front. this became a fundamental and core principle for many mexican-american, african-american and other folks. there were some successes. in civil rights during the war. franklin delano roosevelt, president during the initial years of world war ii signed executive order 8802 that banned discrimination in the workplace and called for fair employment practices. and fair housing opportunities. there were also movements against and resistance to civil rights progress. i remember, we had mexicans becoming a larger portion of american urban fop lagss, we had african-americans migrating internally. to b

so, actually, african-americans were drafted at about roughly 13% -- about 13% of the military was african-americans despite the fact they only make up 10% of the population. you could say the same thing for immigrants as well. there was a big fear that immigrants were going to shirk their duties so even though they make up roughly, i think, drafted at like 18%, even though they only make up 15% of the population. so what this demonstrates is this kind of two-mindedness. on the one hand, we're going to discriminate against you. on the other hand, there's no way we're not going to make you go to war also. what's notable is that they were wearing the uniforms. when they were in training camp in the south, they could not wear uniforms because there was a fear it would cause too much disruption among the jim crow residents, which is probably true, particularly when many soldiers returned home, wore their uniforms and were targeted for harassment, violence, and even lynching in many poli plac. while they're in the front in france, they have this different experience in regards to being black. france had

just because he is an african-american doesn't mean only african-americans will vote for him. my question, then because when you are on this program you talk a lot about sort of reaching out to trump supporters, folks that are in the midwest and rust belt and on and on and coal country. he has said i am a progressive. it's about time that democrats don't nominate someone who is a republican light. does this go against what you have been saying or what the democratic party needs in order to possibly have a blue wave or to at least put victories on the board come november? >> i'm starting to think, don, that we just don't have the right language to describe what we are seeing across the country. i think the old school of the liberals versus conservatives versus moderates versus this versus that, i think people just want authentic -- >> do people just want some sanity, too? >> i think people want authentic people who when they say something you might just actively think they believe it. andrew gillum when he talks about growing up and talking about trying to make a way, talking a

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

army, for example, headset this quote a 56 african-american female nurses. vicki six if that's the only of african-american female nurses originally wanted in the army nurse corps. that is compared to the nearly estimated 800 8000 african-amern female nurses who were prepared and had the appropriate degrees for serving as a nurse in the u.s. army. the flip side is you also have nearly 2000 male nurses who were trained and had degrees ready for service will also continue to try to push the military to change, particularly the army, to change the way in which it accepted nurses. this of course was met with an outright negative as h akin to male nurses. regardless about concerns regarding nursing shortages, they persisted throughout the war. and a as a result by the time we get to late 1944 and 1945, grumblings started to become quite public about what to do concerning nursing shortages. it gets so bad by the time we get to december and early january that on january 6, 1945, as part of his public announcement to congress president roosevelt announced his suppor

african-american women helped to construct the architecture for change.h as the crusading anti-lynching journalist ida b. wells barnett and rosa parks would also activists. they tried to protect black women from the white southern tradition that came from a feudal tradition that literally means the right of the lord. and the antebellum mansion grove south that meant black women's bodies and lives to matter. white men abused and raped black women at will and without punishment. african-american women leaders and activists addressed the most important and volatile issues of their time, rape, segregation, lynching, education, economic justice. people who lived and worked in the south, in the heat of the civil rights cauldron were clearly the heart and soul of the movement. their heroic actions often putting themselves and their families in harms way were without equal. as fervent leaders come african-american women were rooted in their desired first to serve their communities rather than gaining power for themselves. they were not served well. i would like t

african-americans couldn't vote. latinos can vote. couldn't vote.s the right to vote was very narrowly restrict it, largely to mail private property owners. it is interesting, but he think of history, you also think of the other side of american history, which is kind of how i came to this subject matter. me, the right to vote was something that i do not think a whole lot about for most life. . i didn't grow up in the segregated south, my parents did not meet marching in selma. i knew about the voting rights act and its importance, but it was an abstract issue for me. really for me. , my come to jesus moment, even though i am jewish, was -- [laughter] election,the 2010 when so many states flipped from blue to red, or became a whole lot redder. a wave ofn to see events to make it harder to vote to reedit things like requiring a strict from of id that you never needed in previous elections, cutting back on early voting days, reducing the number of polling places, or purging people from voting rolls. this is not an isolated occurrence. .

i was really interested in how african-americans would narrate the experience of terror. what we have to remember is in tonight teen-teens the 1920s and 1930s the civil rights movement is on the horizon. african-americans did not understand that 20 years later there would be a mass movement that would up and segregation in this country. it seems from the perspective of 1910 and 1920 the segregation is going to last forever. so if this is the reality of lack people in 1910 and 1920, 1930 how do you make sense of the experience of terror in a way that gives hope to the next generation to keep fighting, to keep fighting. don't give up just because it looks bleak right now. so what i try to do in the look is try to explain how black americans and not just regular people but artists, riders, how they try to make sense of the black experience in a way that provides hope for the future and hope for the next generation. what i believe i am covering the look is this tradition that i refer to as the sole narrative of the lynch -- i try to tell the story of how african-americans beg

the african-american. this is almost a perfect map of the distribution of african-american voters in the state. look at this gigantic wins in tallahassee where he was the mayor. tallahassee, 46%. 51%. those will big undeniably huge wins. same in jacksonville. look at where he lost because that's where he's going to have to do his work. if you take a gander at lafayette county, here. win graham there 50%. he's at 17.5%. if you go to citrus county, down there, once again, 44% for her. phillip lavine 19%. andrew gillum was at third at 17.2%. the simple truth is if democrats don't want this to be a viblg where they said we nominated the first african-american for this, the party has to get over this deep and obvious divide here in their overall results and all the places that did not vote for him and did not vote for him in a big way are going to have to come all the way around, 180 degrees to get behind him to have an actual win in november. >> it's interesting. the win, you're right, now. but as i said, he's

>> african-american? >> yes. >> i would say that -- well, first of all, you're totally not covering the fact that our secretary of housing and urban development and world renown -- >> i'm asking about the white house staff. i'm asking about the people the president is with every day. >> that's important. well, the president works with secretary carson every day. he's trying to break the back -- >> who there is on the white house staff right now? >> we have jeron who's doing a fabulous job and very involved with -- he's been very involved with jared kushner and president trump on prison reform. he's been there from the beginning. he worked with omarosa and others of us -- >> does he have an office in the west wing? >> he has an office in the eop, absolutely, the executive office of the president, yes. >> not in the west wing. what does that say to have not a single senior adviser in the west wing who's african-american? >> i didn't say that there wasn't but hold on -- >> who is? >> there are plenty of peop

took over -- african-american men the vote. it took over hundred and 50 more years to get women the vote. anderson a wrong -- along with child, actually right on the fields --. it's going to be a popular read that everyone wants to stick -- sink their teeth into. it's basically a new app -- african-american model. it was a radical vision but it very much upheld all the markers of respectability. jordan anderson comes right into that. you can see in this lithograph. oh, hold on a second. it's going up and down. so, we have -- here is his beard, that is jordan anderson's beard and then here is millie, and jane, and grundy and nandi, mrs. anderson. what we have is even the parlor, the parlor is a really important space. he has a banjo on the wall, but this is a host -- a wholesome parlor. you can see that his letter forms the backbone of what will be the republican respectability checklist. this goes right into the political agenda. what are you looking for from the 4 million, -- they are coming from -- they are per -- proto-citiz

not only did he do that for african americans but for hispanics; 1.7 million more hispanics are working now. this is a president who cares about all americans, who is committed to helping them, and is putting policies in place that actually do that. kevin. sorry, kristen, i'm going to go ahead to kevin. kevin, go head. reporter: go ahead. reporter: just to be clear, you can't guarantee it? ms. sanders: look, i haven't been in every single room. i can tell you the president has addressed this directly. he's addressed it directly to the american people. and i can tell you what the focus and the heart of the president is, and that's on helping all americans. and certainly this is somebody who has been in business for decades, and you're just now hearing some of these outrageous accusations after the fact he's dealt with people all over the world. it wasn't until he became a candidate for president that you started to hear some of these salacious and ridiculous claims. and certainly, i think, if you look at the actions that this president has taken, certainly the policies that he's enacted,

. >>> next on american history tv, we learn about the history of african-americans and eugenics from medical historian name ida river dean. it is just under 15 minutes. >> i know it dean is a phd candidate at johns hopkins university in baltimore. before we get into your specialty, i was curious to know that johns hopkins, one of america's top medical schools and top hospitals has a history of medicine department within the schools medicine. why is it important for the school of medicine to study american medicine? >> some of the greater physicians at johns hopkins understand that history is an important way to understanding the advances the professional is making. the department was started in 1929. it was the first department of history of medicine in the united states. they were excited about using knowledge of the past two benefit medical mileage in the present, and to sort of keep that tradition going, and expanded on it and a lot of ways to think about the world of humanities in thinking about the current medical ethics, and problems that come up in the hospital nowadays. we wo

we have african-americans migrating internally to big cities across the country. and eventually by the time we get to the end of the war and even during the war as it goes on year by year we have black and brown veterans returning to their old lives expecting equality. and there are responses to this. and racism and discrimination and lack of opportunity and the entrenchment not just of jim crow segregation against african-americans in the deep south, but jim crow or what we may call hiyme or wame crow is commonplace. in 1936 at the end of war, just to jump ahead in the moment, it wouldn't be surprising after americans are fighting for american democracy overseas there's an up tick in african-american lynchings at the end of the war. if we're talking about civil rights during world war ii and who or what is considered americans or more importantly who is not, we at least have to spend a minute or two reminding ourselves of japanese-american internment. following pearl harbor in december of '41 we all are aware that japanese and japanese americans living in much of

this is a critical moment for african-americans.e thing african-americans and others did have to worry about was how they spoke about the government. debates about what it noent be a citizen. what you owed the government, what the government owed you.mn a citizen. what you owed the government, what the government owed you.ene a citizen. what you owed the government, what the government owed you.an be a citizen. what you owed the government, what the government owed you.no be a citizen. what you owed the government, what the government owed you.tnt be a citizen. what you owed the government, what the government owed you. ba citizen. what you owed the government, what the government owed you. one of the amendments was you could not interfere with the draft. that's what's going to lead to the suppression of speech during the war. they are giving these short four minute speeches. attesting to why we should be in this war. you say why four minutes. it's a nice round number. it's divisible by two and concis concise. they made these in pub

african-americans, hispanics and everybody in between. that would be the best thing we we could do for our country. >> what do you say to critics with the attacks of omarosa as part of a pattern to insult african-americans like don lemon and maxine waters and nfl player who is he claims don't know what they are protesting. >> this president has nothing to do with race and everything to do with the president calling out someone's lack of integrity. the idea that you would only point a few of the things that the president has said negative about people that are minorities, the fact is the president is an equal opportunity person that calls things like he sees it. he always fights fire with fire and doesn't hold back on doing that across the board. >> have you signed an mba? >> i will not get into the but it's common in a lot of places for employees to sign them including in government, particularly anyone with a security clearance. >>>. >> he will be happy to go back there to take your question. >> the president said he kept omarosa on desp

there are no african-american senior staffers, no african-american assistants to the president.ing decisions about us without us. people can agree or disagree whether or not there should be representation. i happen to believe there should be. it shouldn't be me because i'm out, but i'll tell you that we still need african-american leadership, african-american civil rights leaders to go and fight for the things that are important for advancing our community. that hasn't changed for me. we still need a voice. >> one of the things in the book is you write about what really was it for you. that you write about charlottesville being a turning point in terms of your perception of donald trump, as you said the cult thing wearing off and waking up. but at that point, that was the summer of 2017. you didn't resign. in fact, no one resigned in protest over charlottesville. do you look back and wish you had? you have a flair for the dramatic, as donald trump does. had you resigned as the only african-american woman staffer in the white house, as the senior-most african-american in the whit

african-american women only raised $36,000.important and we've got to field goal out how to get more of that if we want to grow -- >> what's her name again? >> her name is morgan debon. the company is called blavity. >> google. bet the message out. >> in ohio donald trump's disapproval rating is 24 points higher than john kasich's. the reason i know that is george conway tweeted that out. george conway, who's kellyanne conway's husband. >> shannon pettypiece, jamal simmons and charlie sykes with unusual information. when we return, let me finish tonight with the greatest broadcast news person of all time. you're watching "hardball." hais not always easy. severe plaque psoriasis it's a long-distance run and you have the determination to keep going. humira has a proven track record of being prescribed for over ten years. it's the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. more than 250,000 patients have chosen humira to fight their psoriasis. and they're not backing down. for most patients clearer skin is the proof. humira can low

by african americans, japanese americans. and especially on the west coast, filipino americans as well. white youth, adopted the zoot suit as part of their own sense of style and fashion. it is defined by a number of things. the baggy pants that ballooned out at the thigh and were tapered very closely at the ankle. the pants were something that malcolm little described as quote unquote poonjab pants. they were often accompanied by a coat with long tails flowing from behind. it wasn't uncommon for youth to have a gold or silver watch chain they carried in their pocket and swung as they walked along the streets. the pancake or wide brimmed hat often with a feather stuck in it was not unusual my great uncle tony, the brother of robert alvarez senior, who we watched in the lemon grove incident last week was a zoot suiter. and in fact, here's an interesting footnote. the first time i ever studied and wrote any academic paper about the zoot suit, long before it became a book was when i was in a class here at ucsd in 93 or 94 on the

we have african-americans migrating internally to big cities across the country. and eventually, by the time we get to the end of the war, and even during the war, as it goes on, year by year, we have black and brown veterans returning to their old lives, expecting equality. and there are responses to this. and racism and discrimination and lack of opportunity and the entrenchment, not just of jim crow segregation against african-americans in the deep south, but jim crow and what we might call juan or jaime crow segregation against mexican-americans in southern california and elsewhere around the country is common place. in 1946, at the end of the war, just to leap ahead for a moment, it shouldn't be surprising that as veterans are returning and claiming rights in new ways after having fought for american democracy overseas that there's an uptick in lynching against african-americans at the end of the war. if we're talking about civil rights during world war ii and who and what is considered american or perhaps more importantly who is not, we at least have to spen

it is also the day when african-american churches hold voting drives. so north carolina got rid of sunday voting. the court asked, why did you get rid of sunday voting? the legislature said, some people are using it more than others. [laughter] ari: and the court said, ok, who was using it more than others? and the legislature said, counties that were predominately democratic and had large african-american populations. and the court said, you just admitted to us, in federal court, that you passed this law to try to disenfranchise people, based on their party, but even more significantly in the voting rights act based on their race. that is why they struck this law down. it was clear evidence after the supreme court said that discrimination was a thing of the past, of the very type of the discrimination that the voting rights act was passed to stop in the first place. the third thing that happened, and this was distressing to me as a northerner, was voter suppression spread to the north. a lot of people like to think of it as a southern thing. that it is

so why are african-american starting to think this way we asked around to find out do you think african-americans support but you want to guess. senate i think going to say that not a lot of them support. thirty are you kidding thirty six thirty six. not even close to what i thought about six percent. to actually thirty six percent who are you surprised by that at all. why is that because i don't own a black trump supporters why do you think some african-americans support by some i mean one third i'm going to say probably because they thought that he was the best chance for our economy instead of thinking about where we are socially there is a chance to be heard which hasn't been there before i think those that do probably are looking for from an economic perspective he's a businessman right so more americans including black americans are finding job opportunities and by that i mean it's not just you must take the one job you find you're seeing that there are multiple opportunities people are now getting to buy a car for themselves or truck for themselves for the first time. and a long time last

instead he calls a woman of color a black woman, an african-american woman a dog. now he is trying to act like this doesn't matter the media is to blame. his language and rhetoric is so offensive to hear the least we can do is admit that this president is a racist and end of discussion. >> hmm. i want to play. listen to how omarosa responds to being called a dog by the president of the united states. >> i think that it just shows you that if he would say that publicly, what else would he say about me privately? he has absolutely no respect for women, for african-americans as evidenced by him to ask the chief of staff to lock me for two hours to threaten me and say things could get ugly to me and there would be damage to my reputation. he is unif it to serve as the president of the united states. >> areva. how would you respond >> yeah, i think what was disturbing to me about the press conference, brooke, is the naiv naivete. the purposeful manipulation. there is no diversity in the white house. when we talk about these issues of race and sex, it's not through the l

african-americans were drafted at about roughly 13%. 13 million of the military is african-american despitely make up 10% of the population. you can say the same thing for immigrants as well. this demonstrates this two mindedness. we're going to discriminate against you. the other hand is we're not going to go to war. they could not wear uniforms because there was a fear it would cause too much disruption among the jim crow residents which to some it's probably true. when many stories return home, wore their uniforms, they were targeted for harassment and lynn mpi i -- lynn clynching. they have this difference experience about in regards to being black.lynching. they have this difference experience about in regards to being black.they have this diff experience about in regards to being black. they have hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting in the war for them. they have their own issues about race. the lines of segregation in france were not as stark and really much looser. it's a big deal to their white counter parts. the troois camp american soldiers to a real place of consciousness.

>> just bear in mind you had an african-american officer and an african-american that was arrested.cans do want to be policed accordingly, and they didn't sign up to have other african-american officers assault them. so it goes back to that relationship where the two entities need to co-exist and how do you effectively bring people into custody and not embark upon a boxing match but professional policing. and that's the issue that we have here. the need for professional policing in instances like this which creates a better or more harmonious environment for the african-american community and law enforcement. >> just to go back, freddie gray was three years ago. does this video, to you, is it a one off? or does it show that nothing has improved in three years? >> it's very difficult to isolate this incident as what's happening or what the -- this is a viral video that does set back that relationship between police and community. >> internal affairs. i'm a law and order svu expert. that is more than an expert. he is serious business. >> former nypd lieutenant and criminal justice pro

not only did he do that for african americans, but for hispanics. 1.7 million more hispanics are working now. this is a president that cares about all americans, committed to helping them and putting policies in play that do that. kevin? >> go ahead. >> just to be clear, you can't guarantee it? >> i haven't been in every single room. i can tell you the president has addressed this directly. he's directed it to the american people. i can tell you what the focus and the heart of the president is. that's on helping all americans and certainly this is somebody that has been in business for decades and just you're just hearing these outrageous accusations after he's dealt with people all over the world. it was president until he became a candidate for president that you started to hear these salacious and ridiculous claims. certainly i think if you look at the actions that this president has taken, certainly the policies that he's enacted, you can see the heart of who he is and you can see exactly what he has done and the type of president and person he is. kevin? >> thank you. just a very qu

who is putting policies in place that help all americans, particularly african americans. just look at the economy alone. this president since he took year and a half that he's been office, in the year here has , created 700,000 new jobs for african americans. that african americans that are 700,000 working now that weren't working when this president took place. when president obama left, after eight years in office, eight years in office, he had only created 195,000 jobs for african americans. president trump in his first year and have has already tripled what president obama did in eight years. not only did he do that for americans, but for hispanics. 1.7 million more hispanics are working now. this is a president who cares about all americans, who is committed to helping them and is putting policies in place to do that. reporter: just to be clear -- ms. sanders: kristen, i'm going to go ahead to kevin. kevin, go head. reporter: just declare, -- to be clear you can't guarantee it? ,ms. sanders: look, i haven't every single room. been in i can tell you the president has
