two african-american divisions. i also want to talk about the first interpretation, when you talk about what was setting the stage, when you walk in the exhibition, the first interpretation has three conversations going on. between w.e.b. dubois. a conversation between the president of the u.s., woodrow wilson. a conversation with a young 28-year-old activist, randolph, from jacksonville, florida. says, 1980, in a magazine, -- 1918, in a magazine, which had been his sentiment for years before, african-americans should close ranks with their white brethren while this war lasts and fight. that was around the same time where president wilson goes before a joint session, congress, april 2, seven-page 10,ch we all remember, 9, 11 word phrase, we must fight to make the world safe for democracy. when african-americans hear that, they believe, because their citizens, third, fourth, fifth generation americans and the leading scholar, w.e.b. dubois is saying close ranks. most african-americans believed that. many of them will

it is about african-american life and how african-americans used world war i as a foundation to plant the seeds for what became the civil rights movement after world war ii generation came back from fighting overseas as well. we thought about this exhibition as early as 2014-15, when i was talking to my then boss at the smithsonian, that we should do something for world war i. a couple years later, he, rick, and then founding director, lonnie, now the secretary of the smithsonian went to france and they came back and planted the seed that we would do a world war i exhibition. then the guest curator and subject matter for military history, got the nod to do this exhibition. the exhibition speaks to not just what happened in the war but what happened after. >> military history first. u.s. joins world war i. what role did the military planners see african-american soldiers playing? how much was that shaped by the service of african-americans during the civil war, some of those civil war veterans who would have still been alive in their 70's and 80's by the time world war i broke out? >>

so the information that comes out an african american history, threatening in this book where african americans were challenged to suppress the fact that they served in world war one because soldiers were being attacked in so a lot of this history was just buried and not talked about but it existed and people had a like charles houston's family in a shoe box in the basement. i hope i answered your question and someone. >> can i actually ask another question too because as a professor who deals with younger minds and as you approach the studies, where does scholarship like that across this contribute to this book fit in with what you are trying to convey and stir up in these young and intellects? >> well i will say this, oh say this, very basic and we talk about this a little bit and we talked about it in a minute ago, i think museums are really the future of this work in a lot of ways, the universities doing what we can, all the platforms and this work allows access to people of all walks of life so when you come in and deal within artifact or narrative we can learn linger and particu

the african-american women vote at a highest rate than african-american men. looking out to see whether or not that pays off for her in south carolina. >> thank you for joining me. i hope you'll make a habit of doing so on this brand-new show. >> we're two bald men, we have to. >> that could be the segment. two bald men. jelani is a professor of journalism. thank you, my friend. >>> climate change was the most important issue affecting their vote second only to health care. after the break, i'm joined by the guy that looks like me and jelani but is a much better cook than i am. andrew who is the host of "what's eating america" and he's not just talking food, he's talking climate. with type 2 diabetes like james lower their blood sugar. a majority of adults who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. here's your a1c. oh! my a1c is under 7! (announcer) and you may lose weight. adults who took ozempic® lost on average up to 12 pounds. i lost almost 12 pounds! oh! (announcer) ozempic® does not increase the risk of major cardiovascular events like h

he did enjoy an 8% turnout for african-american votes, 13% among african-american men.someone asked the question, i'm someone two 20 years of political experience. let's talk about donald trump first and foremost. donald trump has said in lip service only that he wants african-american votes, but we can now examine his policy in regards to education, when he talks about criminal justice reform, the economy, and african-americans can make decisions for themselves as to whether or not they're better off now than when he became president. >> by the way, there are a lot of people in this country who if they, inned where they were -- if they measured where they were now versus when he became president, they have seen wages increase -- >> nose people are the top wealthyist of the country. yes. >> he boasts about lower african-american unemployment. i like to put charts up to show that's the direction it was going in. >> with obama. >> when you talk about the 8% of people who supported, 8% of african-americans who supported donald trump, the 13% of african-american men, how mu

and later, in about 40 minutes, the history of african-americans in amarillo. we begin our special feature with the city's mayor. >> amarillo's in the center of the texas panhandle. we kind of affectionately call ourselves the capital city of the texas panhandle. and we're approaching 200,000, i think in this next census we'll cross the 200,000 mark, so that's a mile marker for us. as i travel around and talk to other mayors, i really think our superpower here in the city of amarillo is that we think regionally. and so while we do have geographic boundaries that define how many people live inside our city, we truly don't think that way. we think regionally. so we think of all these small, rural communities that belong to us, and we we are their city. right now we're standing in the historic santa fe depot. when you think about building the entire city of amarillo, the materials for building our city came through this depot. they arrived by rail right here, and so our city has grown, and we started as a farming, agricultural town. but now we are an urban center

two african-american divisions.o want to talk about the first interpretation, when you talk about what was setting the stage, when you walk in the exhibition, the first interpretation has three conversations going on. between w.e.b. dubois. a conversation between the president of the u.s., woodrow wilson. a conversation with a young 28-year-old activist, randolph, from jacksonville, florida. says, 1980, in a magazine, -- 1918, in a magazine, which had been his sentiment for years before, african-americans should close ranks with their white brethren while this war lasts and fight. that was around the same time where president wilson goes before a joint session, congress, april 2, seven-page 10,ch we all remember, 9, 11 word phrase, we must fight to make the world safe for democracy. when african-americans hear that, they believe, because their citizens, third, fourth, fifth generation americans and the leading scholar, w.e.b. dubois is saying close ranks. most african-americans believed that. many of them will suppo

in the united states, you have african-american coming in 1690. the process of becoming a slave took time. initially, the africans were like indentured servants. in 30 or 40 years, it was clear that africans were then restricted to slavery for life. is both an slavery economic system of labor, later a system of social control, as more and more africans come to this world. i think the most important thing from theer is slavery 17th, 18th, and 19th century, was the most dominant institution in the united states, that almost every aspect of the culture, politics, foreign policy, industry, was all shape either slave trade slavery, the labor of slaves, or the money invested by slave. on the eve of the civil war, more money was invested in slaves, in the then thepopulation, business combined. it is so essential to understanding who we are. that is why this is so important. this is an essential story to helping us understand who he --ts were they work for a few years and then leave or was it clear they were slaves? lonnie: it was clear they were viewed a

with the history of african-americans in amarillo. familiar with important import the rich history and the legacy of the african-american families here in amarillo. how they grew through the years, how they struggled during the civil rights era and how they worked together and so that close knit family situation structure and people knowing people. neighbors doing for one another. really taking a village to raise the children. i hope that was very important. the first black man was jerry calloway and he was brought here by his employer. the only african-american establishing himself with a white family here in amarillo. the second person that came was matthew 'bones' hooks. and matthew 'bones' hooks was a cowboy. he was bronc-buster and cowboy. throughout the panhandle through the various ranchers, he worked with the x it branch, one of the founding fathers of this area since there were no blacks here except for him and jerry, he faced some discrimination. but because he was working with prominent ranch holders, ranch owners, he fit i

it is time that we recognize that the african-american vote matters in this city. [applause] because the fact is i wouldn't be standing here as mayor if it didn't. i wouldn't be standing here. the fact is all around this country, all of the folks who are running for president, they are looking to the african-american community for support. they are coming to our community. it's important that we know how strong our voices really are, how much our community really matters. and that's why i know what my responsibility is. i don't need people to tell me what i need to do. i know from experience of growing up in this city, in poverty, where a lot of folks were not paying attention to this community, i know the challenges, and i know how to work with the community in order to achieve the goals that we need. it's not about what i say we need to do, it's about what the community works with us to tell us what we need to do. [applause] because i don't know about you, but i'm tired of folks who have no experience with our community, trying to determine policies and decisions

we see very few african-americans at this meeting. what could the form due to make this meeting more attractive to african-americans? >> i don't know i've been trying to do it for 24 years. [laughter] and i have not been successful. although there are people of color in the audience. more here do a little but i'm really pleased that when i go places now, i do see african-americans in the audience. pa's livingn erie, on wednesday. least 10 or 12. i was very pleased that people did come out. i think an appoint to go out on a limb here, keep in mind i don't speak for all african-americans but this is what i think is happening. as a people we have have a tendency to stay away from places that we don't think we are necessarily expected to be. it's not that the form has done anything to discourage people. the form has done everything imaginable to bring people and but i think that still we have an issue about where we are welcome. i see it at public places as well. i tell this story all the time. my family went to the grand canyon many year

the american story that the bill of the to live the american dream is very much the story of african-american people and all people should know the story and should know the truth about the struggle and with that we'll all do better as a nation great point it's a really great point you know as we usually take this month to reflect on civil rights activists who have paved the way for the advancement of quality of black people it's not just here in the u.s. but also around the world and this is a global issue i want to bring up the mess in the cop who was of you who is a ugandan climate change activist and from member and she was recently tragically kind of cropped out of an associated press photo along with her peers including with gratitude when they were making up you know pledge to the world and i wanted you to hear this is what she had to say when she found out that she was cropped out of this photo and this really is stored moment. and. it's being talked. to hearts. and minds. as well it's. i mean this is a young woman fighting to make climate change and fight for that's her future and th

african-american congressman in nevada. we continue to pick up african-american endorsements across the country. we understand what a poll might say but the only one that matters is where people walk into the voting booth and cast their vote. we have every reason to believe he will continue to do well with african-american voters and latino voters. remember, 97% of latino and african-american voters haven't had a chance to have their say yet. the media wants to somehow suggest their votes will change and fade out and just trying to chase a winner. i would suggest to you they're standing on principal, they know joe biden and his record. he is the only one that doesn't need training on day one and will walk in the white house and know exactly what to do and save the soul of this nation and get us back on good footing across

we've got three portraits of african-americans. there is anna cooper in the middle and mary church tyrell on the right. these were studio portraits that were made of these women while they were students at oberlin college. it is not the first in the united states to accept african-american students. what i love about these portraits is how young they are. you know they each went on to lead great lives as activists, as women that were advocating for citizenship rights for all people of the united states, but particularly for african-americans. especially anna julia cooper was a teacher in at a school washington, d.c. which is now the dunbar high school, and she was living the life of someone who truly believed in giving liberal arts education to african americans, as did mary church terrell. she was also teaching at the m street colored school. what i like about these two women was they were especially taking on the responsibility to assimilate african-americans in the post-civil war reconstruction era in a way that would give them

so it is very important to hear african-american women's stories, women's stories told by african-americanomen. as well as african-american men to elevate an iconic person like madam walker from soundbite history, is important because her legacy not only touches all and it is american history as well as black history, it reframes her life as a woman, and that she was more than just a pretty face, she was more than somebody's wife, she was the entrepreneur. she was the president, she was the chairman, she was the philanthropist, she was the activist. >> we are driven around downtown indianapolis with keisha geomet with the indiana state museum. role with the museum, and what will we be looking at today? >> i am the curator of social history at the indiana state museum, which means i spend a lot of time doing research and particular research on african american history. we are going to visit some of the historical locations that help to tell the story of african-americans in indianapolis. african-americans coming to indiana and indianapolis specifically? >> many african-americans were coming

joe biden recently talked about the fact that african-americans have been taken for granted. is absolutely correct. democrats continuously take african-americans for granted and that has talked with this administration. there is no another option name donald trump. >> don't piss on black voters and call the rains which is the reality. the reality is donald trump has attacked congressional members of, called his former african-american advisor a dog. and i'm just getting started, not to mention charlottesville where he said there is good people on many sides. this is about bloomberg and his ability to talk to black voters and of bloomberg wants - >> policy wins. >> there is so much unsettled with the result of iowa and where this goes from here and especially looking at vice president biden heading into south carolina where he was counting on the african american vote to billion him but supported slipping. we will see what happens, thank you both. there are other major headlines from roger stone to jussie smollett. >> good evening or good morning. breaking now four prosecutors

his is in there. >> first african american general, that's right.that was a nod to the fact of our contributions to the military and fighting and defending this country. >> there's a connection between jesse owens and benjamin o davis who both served or operated during that same time period and came back to the same too the same old world. >> yes. and jesse owens and many of those other olympians from the 1936 olympics came back and were not treated and welcomed in the way we are accustomed to olympic champions being welcomed. >> jesse owens you write "returned home to the oppression of jim crow working at basically menial jobs like racing horses and pumping gas". >> this guy was a sideshow. that was a really tragic outcome for somebody who had essentially was regarded as defeating hitler. and really embarrassing hitler in germany. >> i wanted to ask who was robert abbott? >> he was a great newspaper editor. chicago defender was one of the the most important publication in america for black americans during the time. really during a period where chi

look at the african-american vote.can-american, majority of voters, biden, 60%. sanders is next way down here at 17%. that's only 3 points better with african-american voters than he had four years with hillary clinton. he didn't substantially improve his standing. the tom steyer the only other competitive person in this category at 14%, warren at 5%, buttigieg at 3%. voters 65 and older, senior voters. this has always been a biden strength, even more so in south carolina, 58% of them biden winning compared to steyer 14 and sanders 13. take a look at moderate voters. this is a more moderate conservative electorate than we have seen to date in this democratic nomination contest. biden wins moderates overwhelmingly so. sanders gets 14% as does steyer. buttigieg down at 10 with moderates and klobuchar who likes to own that space, she's all the way down at 4% with moderates. again, this is because of the overwhelming advantage biden has with african-americans. just to make a point of how strong a state this is for joe bide

>> no, i don't, because i go to church with african-americans. i live with african-americans.father of african-americans. >> neil: you don't think that more african-americans will vote for the president than given credit customer >> absolutely not. >> neil: absolutely not gain african-american votes in 2020. republican senator tim scott differs. good to have you. >> thank you, neil. it's good to be back with you. not only do i differ a little bit, but let me go to the end of this movie and tell you the spoiler alert. president trump will see a 50% increase in his african-american support. it will go from 8% in 2016 to a minimum of 12% in 2020. he may even get to 15% of the african-american vote. >> neil: what makes you say that? >> game over. listen to what the democrats are saying. they have top-tier candidates that say redlining was having a negative impact on home ownership. what is president trump doing during the same time? simple. he had an executive order to increase affordability of homeownership and african-american homeownership since he took office is up about 2%. t

tragic situations that they they've both endured but we're seeing more and more particularly african-american women stepping up and taking that role in terms of running for office they're moving beyond advocacy to actually move towards legislative change and what do you think about that. well as fate would have at this year's black history thing that is one of the jobs of this is to set that theme is african-americans in the vote and so in our communities we start by recognize the power in just being able to have your voice heard and so we go to the next level where it is makes perfectly good sense that these women in particular and others would step forward and recognize that in order to really make the change you have got to be in a position to make that change you have got to run for office and you've got to build your base which they already have done a great job of highlighting the issues of what's happening to our our young people are black men in the community and so it makes perfectly good sense to us and we applaud this because ever since reconstruction black people have been wanting

was to depart, remove african-americans. starting with free african-americans from the united states. not only abouts slavery, the question was about enough toou it wasn't free slaves and deport them, you , you raise theof question altogether which is free blacks who are a small minority of the population, they since thesed in size american revolution in the 1780's. you had to do both of those american regard to the connell best colonization society and its advocates in order to address the issue of issue of slavery and of race. the good sense or the political savvy to ring in their friends in the federal government. ,iven the size of this project by 1830, there are over 2 million slaves in this country. as a lot of people. if you're ideally going to move all of those folks, then the free black population, the government is about the only institution that is going to be put together that kind of migration even for the government and its resources, it was still a nearly impossible undertaking. their pitch to african-americans

democrats continuously take african-americans for granted.s stopped with this administration. >> there is another option. >> don't pay us on black voters and call it rain. >> here is the reality come with donald trump has attacked members of color, and he has called his former african-american advisor a dog. i am just getting started not to mention charlottesville where he said there was good people many sides. >> bloomberg's ability to talk to black voters. if bloomberg wants to have a conversation with black voters -- >> policy wins. >> shannon: we have to leave it there because so much unsettled with the results of iowa and where this goes from here and especially looking at the former vice president biden heading to south carolina where he was counting on the african-american voters who were billing him. we will see what happens. richard, thank you. always good to see you. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: roger stone to josie -- with an update, hey, >> good morning come i should say, breaking now for prosecutors, roger stone's case resi

the things that we say at a solid which is how we refer to the association for the study of african-american life in history is to look in your own community for those change makers those history makers that are really going to make a difference not just to day for the future and to document it write it down and share it so important so important so so important. to you i guess because i'm not organizationally affiliated with i don't know i would definitely say following mckissic i think that really is on the front lines doing a lot of great work we've seen a lot of people rise particularly younger people like that you shouted out the urban league i'm an urban league or they think that the urban league as a whole has a very large young professionals group and training for advocacy not only in terms of building it online in these social media channels but actually doing the work in your communities as well my question though would be around bridging the gap because this existed during the civil rights movement as well we saw a lot of these younger leaders who emerged in leaders of a different

african-americans in south carolina, 60% of the democratic delegation is african-american.ng to be -- it's a new ball game now, i'd argue. >> to that point, you and i, pierre, we have been talking about this, former vice president joe biden has banking on support from african-american voters in south carolina, do you think that fire wall as he calls it, in south carolina is as strong as the biden campaign says it is? >> i think he needs to win somewhere. the fact that he didn't do well in iowa and new hampshire, black voters, african-american voters are like all voters, they're very practical with their vote. they vote with their interests lie and they want to see someone who can beat donald trump. if you recall when hillary clinton was running against barack obama, i think before the primaries and caucuses, she was polling ahead of barack obama in the african-american community. he wins iowa and wins in south carolina. >> and maryalice, the moderates and the progressives, when you looked at the polling numbers or the positions as they came out of new hampshire, people were

african american infants.orts prenatal work but revolutionizing how we see maternal health. merna armstead is a born and raised san franciscan. she experienced a high-risk pregnancy. when she turned to her own obgyn at the time for advice, all they could advise her to do was get an abortion. yeah. so, she was not offered support or resources or options. this is the type of experience that black, brown and indigenous mothers face in our health system. merna refused her doctor's conclusion. and successfully gave birth to her daughter. yes. the experience was taxing and left an imprint on her. she turned this experience into empowerment. she decided to train and become a doula and building on a legacy of a traditional african american granny-midwife, who was a pioneer in her own community. her training was fulfilling but she wanted to bring together other doulas of color. she founded sister web and is serving as their executive director. the program that provides a support network of doulas for color and marginal

i remember a big part of the drop-off was african-american men.st in north carolina, the senate race i was working on. african-american women are far more reliable voters in general. >> we saw the same thing in 2016 in michigan, wisconsin. >> the drop-off was more of the african-american men than women. >> which is to say, if the president intends to capitalize, he'll have to spend a lot of time and money. >> he may be getting casual support. you're saying that won't translate into votes. >> i think what is interesting, so many people in the media try to pigeon hole, all black voters must go x. all white voters don't go x? shockingly, all black voters don't go x. >> one of the things that bothered me about the way that kamala harris and corey booker were treated, there was this idea that they should be doing great with black voters because they're black. there's no respect given to african-american voters searching through candidates. listening to the issues, doing what every other voter does in choosing who they think will be the best nominee. we

an event that was so beautiful, young african-american leaders.ne of the things i asked them, and i've been thinking about this for a long time, and great people, great people, some of them are here tonight. do you like the name african-american or black and they said black, all at the same time. true, i tell you. because you say african-american or black. and they said almost like immediately black. but we had an incredible group of people. >> oh, my god. that was the first time i heard that. oh, my god. >> yeah, i don't know what you say to that. >> he says he's been thinking about that for a long time. >> yeah, this is a president who talked about frederick douglass in the present tense, saying he's getting more and more recognition. obviously the president has a long and controversial history with black voters but i do think that, you know, in all seriousness, that his campaign is actually trying to make a case for black voters, specifically for black men saying that they can sort of peel off some of the margins, maybe even shave two or three

african americans are a problem, and how are they a problem? for one thing, they continue to say we want our civil rights we want the right to vote, we are in fact americans we pay taxes, we own land. we want the right to go to school wherever we actually qualify. african american women are also wanting very much to have a vote. we, the most pressing problem for african americans, a certainly lynching, and other forms of racial violence. so, african americans will say we want this to end. indeed, it must and immediately. because every incidents of racialized violence, and they were money, and they took on different shapes, every one of those incidents places us to precariously close to how the kaiser, and other europeans treat their colonial populations. so, these various groups, we have prohibitionists poignant how immigrants are problem, there is simply too many of them, we have to have rules, we have to borders, we have to have walls, we have to have medical screenings to keep these undesirables from pouring in to continue coming and bringin

native americans, african americans. so until you stop segregation, you have no business telling us about being violent or how to control our minorities. wasure -- heto photographed at black churches in d.c. praying and singing with african-americans and talking about how their plight and their suffering really helped him understand who americans truly were despite their browbeating all over the world as purported neutrals who were also morally superior. what we see is that the question ofrace will already be part this diplomatic tug-of-war. the germans will do the same. it will return. what wee united states get from the very beginning of the war are a lot of the same kinds of concerns that had been weighing heavily on european empires that we've been talking about. so what were some of those concerns? that their own countries were full of dissidents who could set outplace ablaze by pointing the fissures in american society. hence our first picture here. what are we looking at? of therotesting in front white house, dema

at that point in time, women as well as african-american men lost the right to vote. it wasn't until the 19th amendment's ratification they got the right to vote back. let's head to the next section, which is, "why do women fight for the vote? " it does a wonderful job of telling the personal story from women, not just why they were fighting for teh vote but what the absense of the vote meant for them in terms of economics, social, legal, and other consequences. women like emily barber. she was a teacher, she sent a petition to congress. she argued that as a woman, she has to pay equal taxes with men, but as a non-voter has no voice and how those tax dollars are spent. she further states that with superior capabilities for teaching and governing schools -- i love to point out that this petition was sent to congress in 1879. 140 years ago this year, women were already arguing they needed the vote to press for equal wages. of course, as a wage earning woman, women like emily barber, from their working experience, it was clear how vulnerable women were without the vote.

the progress of african-americans then complete myth.my opinion, does not matter to democrats and black votes do. we see this with joe biden looking to solidify his standings with black votes, but not offering black policy that will target and finish with his community. -- benefit this community. >> shannon: richard, those numbers that we saw a huge bump like 15 percentage point jump, and then today, these poll numbers before the audience today, how do you think he manages that because it seems like a lot of people out there in the mainstream media left pulling for bloomberg because i biden is viable anymore and they worry about bernie. do you think he will pay a price for the release of this audio? >> there is no question michael bloomberg will pay a price but if i was in the biden campaign i would say this 2008 barack obama was forced to give gnhistoric speech on race. i think if michael bloomberg intends to be the nominee for the party, all the numbers indicate he's putting more than any other candidate. he has the longest runway beca

joe biden recently talked about the fact that african-americans have been taken for granted. see you read my book because is absolutely correct. democrats continuously take african-americans for granted and that hasn't stopped with this administration. it is now another option and his name is. >> don't kiss on black voters and call it rain. the reality is donald trump has attacked congressional members of color, he called his former african-american advisor a dog and i'm just getting started, not to mention charlottesville where he said there's good people on many sides. this is about bloomberg and his ability to talk to black voters. if bloomberg wants to have a conversation with black voters -- >> policy wins. >> shannon: there's so much unsettled with the results of iowa tonight and where it goes from here and looking at the former president biden heading into south carolina, his support is slipping but we will see what happens. there are other major headlines tonight from roger stone to jussie smollett, gillian turner joins us. >> good morning, breaking malcolm a four pro

you can imagine because there are many, many more than 44 great african-americans. we don't say this is the greatest black achievers ever. we don't try to put that on -- these are just 44 that we looked at, that fit the sensibility of the first african-american president, in the sense that here's something that they -- they did something pioneering, something disrupting, they were some cases i say noisy geniuses or quiet innovators but did something extraordinary in their own space, and it was -- belief me, it was knock down, dragout debate among the staff, and we did it kind of democratically where to get on the list you had to convince the group that this person should be on the list, and if you were going to add someone you had to say, then who are we going to take off? it was a lot of become and forth, and obviously a lot of people were left off but a lot of great people are on the list. >> host: what do you want young readers to know about barack obama besides being the first black president? >> guest: well, it's interesting. i was at the nba all-star weekend i

african-americans -- go ahead.: i wanted to say the whole country learned about the murder of eric loganan, a black south bend resident who was shot and killed by white police officer ryan o'neill because, of course, at the time, mayor pete buttigieg was runnining for president. can you talk about how he handled that and also about the firing of the first black police chief darryl boykins? >> like i was just talking about, he did not handle it. if you did handle it, it was a fumble. eric logan was a culmination of events that took place as he took office back in 2012. right after he took office, there was a young man by the name of michael anderson n who ended up dying under suspicious circumstances with the south bend police department. there was another youngg manan named dishon franklin who happen to be asleep in his home and he was attacked and brutally beaten up by south bend police. none of those officers were even discipline. does au had eric logan lot of things happen between there as well, but then you hav

it's because voters and african-american voters know him. they know his record. so, you know, we're excited that the race is moving into the place where diverse voters, people who are the base of the democratic party will get to have their say. that's south carolina and nevada and super tuesday around beyond. we are continuing to -- >> sorry, you're making the point about diverse it's far more diverse than the two states so far. i want to read you something, who asked what happened to the middle class joe? the guy who could not only do well with african-american democrats but also win back cities and communities like scranton, p.a. and guess what city looks like scranton? that's manchester, new hampshire. >> well, i think that you have to look at the totality of the states. i iowa new hampshire were never thoughts would be good for us. we knew that. they're not diverse. they are actually slightly more economically affluent. which knew those are not great states for us and what we're excited about is getting to part of the race where truly diverse coalition of vot

we -- in 2008, it was 55% african-american, in 2016, 61%. it is less that the african-american turnout is really variable, it is more that the white turnout is variable. have any of the candidates brought in new voters to this process? that's the argument bernie sanders was making last night in spartanburg where i was, he is going to inspire the largest voter turnout in south carolina history. of course, the question is who are those voters going to show up for? i think we will certainly have a bigger turnout than 2016. i would be surprised if it is quite as passionate as it was in 2008 when barack obama was on the ballots. but a lot of folks that i talked to are very engaged at this point and i think it is going to be one for the history books. >> well, we know you'll have a busy weekend at work. thank you, guys. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> vice president mike pence is now in charge of the u.s. response to the coronavirus. can messaging from the office be completely trusted? the political impact of the crisis is next. you met on an a

and that's because people of color, particularly african-americans, particularly african-american women are the heart and soul of the democratic party. and so i want to know that. i care desperately and i'll look through all the chicken entrails of new hampshire but i want to know where are people of color going. joe had a claim on their affection and support but that claim is weakening by the minute and i think all of those other campaigns, first with latinos and union members in nevada and african-americans in south carolina, they need to be moving in. i thought if elizabeth went down, bernie would go up. it didn't happen. if joe goes down with people of color, i don't know who claims those votes. maybe they should go and earn them, like ana says. >> let me tell you what else. my people need to move to new hampshire and iowa. we can't have -- we can't continue having these totally white primaries. but, paul, i don't know if it's happening to you but anecdotally, i can tell you that i'm hearing more and more and more about bloomberg. and i'm beginning to think there may be logic to his

it was an african-american congregation but african-american voters sound pretty much like everybody else these days. >> governor granholm, did you have any takeaways? >> i would have loved to seen the answer about how many of them would have supported bernie sanders. as we've seen in the latest poll out of nevada, and we haven't had a lot of polls out of nevada, bernie sanders seems to be doing well. he picked up, i think, seven points from the last poll there, from the beginning of january. biden pretty much held the same. then, you saw a little bit of surge from amy klobuchar and tom steyer. it really shows you money really has an impact in these elections because tom steyer has been spending very generously in nevada and south carolina. >> governor dean, amy klobuchar is gaining momen full. momentum. she's beefing up staff in nevada and raised $12 million in a little over a week and put in newspaper ads in california and even texas. what do you see as her biggest hurdle? >> name recognition at this point. she got a late start. she has tremendous momentum at the best point you cou

because they are not a lot of african-american biographies so there were these beautiful illustrations so we turned into a book. >> what is the format? >> basically it gives kids just enough that they can learn about these african-american achievers and to absorb the inspiration and greatness that black americans of this country. >>host: your editor in chief of the undefeated that is part of espn? >> we launched may 2016 the idea of a form are on - - former president that we have a digital project to have a loyal black audience on digital where race and sports and culture intersect this is very much about culture so that came about and i was at the washington post when we knew each other and then to be presented with this opportunity and then to have a startup. >> you are managing editor of the washington post how much debate happen in your family? >> allied of debate particularly my wife. [laughter] but sometimes you disrupt your own career but then you try something different. it turned out fantastic. >> just to be clear 44 biographical strategies desk etches. >> it's a play off the

it's the african-american vote.l vote in this primary are african-americans. and these are the core backbone of the democratic party. and why south carolina is so special and, you know, nevada's been great. but when you look, historically, at south carolina and its significance not only in the democratic primary but the republican primary, it's so special because it provides a platform, almost a springboard, going into super tuesday. what happens here has a significant impact on what happens on super tuesday, which is the largest day in the presidential primary calendar. >> you served as an aide to james clyburn, who recently announced his endorsement of form f former vice president joe biden. what significance does that have? >> listen. congressman clyburn is an icon in the state, particularly in democratic politics. he is someone that's tremendously respected. he delivers for his constituents. even though his district is relegated to a few counties in south carolina, there are people all across the state in differ

well, he struggled to get much support at all from african—american voters.aign so far. a problem thatjoe biden actually focused on in that attack and he ranjust actually focused on in that attack and he ran just before this new hampshire primary, mentioning the fact that as mayor of south bend indiana he sacked the black police chief, he sacked the african—american fire department chief, there are policing issues in south bend, indiana that relate to race. it is thought that he did not handle them very well at all. that is his problem going into south carolina for sure. a footnote on joe biden, into south carolina for sure. a footnote onjoe biden, he ran in1988, in footnote onjoe biden, he ran in 1988, in 2008, he has never even come close to winning a primary or a caucus and you sense, and we have seen him on the stump, you sense he has done his dash. yeah. i think you are right aboutjoe biden. things can change in south carolina. he could have a stumping win in south carolina and in nevada. we can change the story. the race is pretty fluid. it has been a c

the voters who know me best in the african-american community., i know especially heading into the south, i'm now getting a second look from a lot of voters who frankly weren't sure we were competitive in the first place. but now know how important we're prepared to build a campaign that calls everybody in, that will defeat donald trump and that's exactly the work we're doing. this is about belonging both within our campaign and across our country. >> you seemed to be taken aback when linsey davis challenged you about arrests for african-americans for marijuana possession in south bend. do you have a better job of o owning your record in south bend? >> look, when you're a mayor you're not just calling for good things to happen, you have to be on the ground figuring it out. and when it comes to the systemic disparity in arrests and incarceration rates when it comes to marijuana, south bend hasn't been immune. you no as i quick to point out, black residents in south bend had a lower arrest rate for drug charges than in the state. >> but it went up

and it really will make you feel a certain kind of way about how artists and african americans in this country had to live and chose to put themselves and their lives on the line anyway for justice. and over the span of 20 years it gives you just a glimpse of that. that's why this is so powerful, and that's why we're all here today to see it, to experience it, and to take it in, and to also to share it with other people in the bay area so that they don't miss out on an opportunity to see what -- to see what i think is one of the most extraordinary exhibits that the museum has had in a long time. so, again, i want to thank you all for being here today. i'm really excited about this. i've actually seen it and really spent quality time here exploring it. and i, again, we wanted more exhibits like this at the museum and more exhibits like there in san francisco. and i want to again thank dee dee for really shining a light on the need to provide diverse opportunities in arts here in san francisco. you have been just been a true treasure and we value you so much. and thank you to everyone wh
