and so african-americans had land. arethird group was -- there many african-americans who, after coming out of slavery, were able to purchase their own lands later on. so, you have african-americans who have some land in the south. this in america was seen as the basis of wealth. can maken said if we this land functional and work for us, we can establish an economic base. if we can establish an economic base, the political and the social arenas of life will be .asier to achieve political rights will follow. follow.ights will once we get an economic base. washington is looking at the example of immigrants -- that immigrants already had established. they had come in and within a generation or so, they had established their own economic foundation. washington is looking at immigrants and saying, black people can do that, too. of course, that is a little bit shortsighted. we can criticize washington and say he is looking at immigrants this way and saying black people can do the same thing. these people came as immigrants.

and some other african leaders. william earl trotter hated washington so much, he would follow washington around wherever he was going to speak. trotter would find where that was going to be and make arrangements so he could sit right in the front. and everything went fine. the singing and other kinds of things, until they introduced booker t. washington, and the minute they introduced washington, he got up and started shouting him down. you know? i mean, washington had great opposition from significant people of african descent. although he and w.e.b. dubois never had a public argument. this is a misnomer. this is a fallacy. you all this stuff, people riding stuff about dubois and -- people writing stuff about dubois and washington at each other's throats and all that. dubois only made two public statements about washington. one was a chapter in "the souls of black folk," a very balanced critique of mr. washington. you will be reading it in the next few weeks. and the second one was after washington died, w.e.b. du

an extraordinary site of african and african-american art and culture.was just a sterling year for me. until my father passed. and as john thomas sr.'s baby girl, i thought my world had ended. and so my mom and my older sister said, well, why don't you go on an exchange program to oberlin. you will be near your sister and it will help. i joined my sister at oberlin, she was a dual major in piano and voice. and, it was important to be close to family. i fell outrageously in love with oberlin college. and i did not return to fisk. but i will say this, i feel extraordinarily fortunate to have had two experiences, the historically black university, and yes, the predominantly small white college -- the predominantly white college that is a small liberal arts college. i would say that between the two institutions, i got myself a mighty good education. >> why anthropology? why northwestern? >> why anthropology? >> and what is it? >> that is easy. anthropology is the study of the human condition. but because i am a public intellectual, because i am a certain kin

in america there's a disconnect between the reality of the african market and the perception of the african market. and this conference is aimed at fixing that. countries and companies that ignore the african market do so at their own peril. and that will become increasingly true with each passing year. the business that i own, bloomberg lp has offices in six countries in africa, eight cities, employing more than 160 people, including more than 120 full-time and freelance journalists and we are growing there. in fact the first business trip that i took after leaving office in january was to south africa to help expand our offices both in cape town and joeberg. while i was there, we also launched a $10 million training program, to increase financial reporting on the continue -- continent and help make african markets more transparent. we worked closely with african financial institutions, private companies and central bankers to help them maximize efficiency, mitigate risk and increase capital flows. and that not only helps the local financial markets and helps attract foreign investment. my

-african relations. since the dawn of africa's independence movement, america's relationship with the continent has depended ongd world aid, that part of our relationship still is vitally important. but africa has now developed into a global economic force, and so our relationship must evofl and mature. and that is the purpose of this forum, to recast our relationship as a full, equal and advanced economic partnership, a partnership that holds as much promise for african countries as it does for america. we have the people in this room to make that partnership a success. so to start off the morning, i would like to invite all of you to take a few seconds to introduce yourself to the person next to you, or someone you have not met yet. >> we can go on with this, this is doing exactly what we want to do. as we all know, as we all know, whether it's in our families, or our businesses or our countries, relationships are what matters and that's the whole idea here today is to get to know each other, to develo

it's a prison scheme imposed on the african american community and only the african american community can stop it now. so right now, ferguson actually took three votes i'm aware of to begin dismantling this warrant in position system, so that you stop giving the police a clear and free entree to stop all the african americans. but tavis, yes, there is blame to go around. there is blame to go to the african american leadership for not getting the vote organized, not accessing it and not taking over the government and organizing it in a way so it's fair. that's on the african american community and they have to start waking up, too. >> here we are with proposition 47 to be exact if we can pull this off in california, it might be a model for how the rest of the country can behave to address a particular issue. let me ask you to take two minutes to tell me about prop 47 and what we r able to do here in california. >> well, prop 47 would begin to attack the mass incarceration that imprisoned three generations of african americans and latinos and pull the funding blocks out. it would resent

so i think that ignorance plays into -- i think that often africans expect african americans to somehownow more than others because of how we look alike. so surely you must know about africa. but there are americans that don't. i really don't. i have really good friends who are african american and maybe it has something to do i came here from school and i had many friends in under grad and grad school and their conversations that were had. they are not always comfortable but i think important and one of such conversations is, and i write about it in the book, i make fun of it, which i think is one way of closing the conversation about slavery to say africans sold us. i think it's so simplistic.]n it's a way -- if you say it, there is nothing left to be said. saying that nithat gates the fa it benefitted a particular group of people and had those evil african chiefs not sold them, they would have a way to get them across the atlantic and so no, sadly, no horror stories. i'll have to invent some for next time. >> don't, please. i'm happy to hear your journey was a road well paved and not

and it says to african americans and folks who fought really hard, not just african americans, but folks fought hard for the right to vote, this guy and this party isn't exactly for us, or thinking about us, or with us. and so now you've got people within the republican party, a generation and a half, two generations later, who are actively trying to stop people from exercising -- >> couple points here. first of all, you're educating me. i thought it was the welfare queen and the young buck buying the gin with the welfare and food stamps. >> it is all of that. >> but i grew up with moderate republicans. the ones who read the "new york times" and take the train to work and know what's going on. there's still some left. aren't they put off, white people, put off by this behavior? they're the ones that used to say, we won't talk in front of them. >> the right-wingers. >> i think if the messaging around it is not clearly like we're going after black people. because they're not actually saying, we're going after black people -- >> [ all speak at once ] >> that one guy, he was a gem. we use th

there was one latino and no african-americans. not one executive of your company is african-american. channel seven ask you about this and you said you couldn't find any. my question to you is where did you look? >> my answer is i hired african-americans in our firm, latino members and our firm, asian americans and many other minorities. as governor i will drive andlts, helping minorities members of families of every community get results. you have been a failure. african are suffering brutally in illinois under you. brutally high crime, low wages, no jobs, a lack of social services. i will get it done. i will be the first latino lieutenant-governor in illinois history. i'm going to work for hispanic families. and you been a failure are taking the african-american vote for granted. you had a super stock of could the governor. she is talented and i wish he was a republican. after i win this race i'm going to ask her to join our administration. ournt women in administration, african-american leaders like tony anderson and willie wil

we have laid fiber now in 15 african countries. we have a system that began in derban building along side of the road and if you know your continent as you know, susan, we followed the road, went up north across the river and then into zimbabwe, across into zambia, digging along the side of the road, 5,000 men, and we are now on the border of somalia, if it wasn't for al shabaab, we would be more at issue. today our focus is insuring that these networks can now create an overlay where we can provide education, health, we can provide agriculture extension services to women farmers. this is the future creating digital jobs for young people so that we can employ the young africans as well as providing health support and other things that it is as much as infrastructure today as it is to build the physical infrastructure to building. perhaps i'll stop there. >> i would ask to you elaborate -- you have been a huge proponent of the investor in africa's human capital, and in particular its young people. and you've also been a great suppor

i don't like the word african american now, because you don't want to say african anymore. i read a piece that said the only way the democrats keep the senate is if the african vote comes on like the cavalry, wow, like there's never been a vote like this in history. they want it to be up to the level it was in 2012 when you had an african american candidate for president, history being made again. people being whipped, told you can't vote. all the positive ways of getting person to vote, have pride in your vote, and two, you can't vote. you vote, right? >> exactly. that's one of the things democrats are doing. that's why we're seeing the president campaigning in some battleground states. black voters when you look at them, the way they poll, they're still intensely loyal to the president of the united states. if they can frame it, as the president of the united states needs to show up for his legacy, for him to continue accomplishing what he's accomplishing, that's their hope. the poll from earlier this year, found 67% of democratic base voters, blacks, hispanics, young wom

will african americans go out to vote?asons, one there's still an african american president. number two, there is a concern, i think justified, that the republicans are doing voter suppression against the black community and young people. and this whole issue of ferguson and all the rest of it. will there be a black turn-out consistent with presidential campaigns, or more like the usual turn-out, which is much lower in a midterm? what do we know yet? >> i've been looking at the numbers as they've come in from early voting in a lot of these states. they will not match what happened in 2012. they are exceeding what happened in 2010, and that's a bright spot for democrats. but, you know, you can't be sure that that's going to balance out the strong antipathy for the president among white voters, white men especially, in these states. and in the end, that may just overwhelm however many blacks turn out. >> i'm going to ask michelle. do you think the hatred of obama down south and in a lot of parts of the country, by white peo

ebola has been an endemic in the central african region. south sudan, central african republic. this is the first time we saw at ebola, it is going to be there, it is a matter of up and down. and should be prepared for ebola at now. >> another problem quickly on that. >> a lot of other each use like the environment in terms of people moving into that environment and where they should not be living. and living much nearer. and one of the recommendations that came out in terms of cutting down on these epidemics were integrated. integrating -- linking animal health surveillance systems with human health, usually what we are hearing is whenever you have something coming out, animals dying for s before did people begin to die. the animals, the animal health profession in that arianna actually get to know this before so we should recommend that linking of the two in terms of prevention. >> a few questions in the back. tell us your name and organizations and question. right here. over here on this side. this gentleman right here and this woman. let's take a couple questions. the gentle

not by pandering to african-americans, but simply talking to african-americans. he points to a war on poverty that has fell. and trillions of dollars spent that has been wasted. he is right on many aspects, but if he's pitching numbers this republican outreach will fail as so many others have failed as well and maybe longer term. some of the chances of advantageous on the white house. dr. al vitae king said the republicans to have offer more than token efforts because many african-americans are getting frustrated by the democratic party taking them for granted. ten truths for you and your family and our nation. what i love about having dr. king on she ticks off everyone. dr. king good to have you. >> i'm doing great, neil. and i respect -- i'm really glad to say hello. it's just greatly appreciated. neil: i'll get that cash envelope after the show. i'm thinking what you're saying and the message you're relaying, what do you think your uncle, your dad would be saying? there's always been a collective view, democrats hear us republicans don't. >> i believe that my

. >> so 12 years ago you became ranked number one and became the first african-american to be ranked number one. with your win in dubai, your ranking was at 44 and that took you back up to 23? >> something like that. >> what is that like? i mean we've all read and we know that you're a fierce competitor. it's not even about being number two. it's always about being number one. what's that climb like for you? >> well, it's fun to see your name go up in the rankings, i have to say that is what it's all about. especially now, you know, i don't take anything for granted, and not that i ever meant to before, but in some ways i think i did. obviously, when you do a lot of hard work, you deserve to get where you were, but i realized for sure what a privilege it has been to be able to do the things i've done. >> you're not as hard on yourself or are you? >> yeah. no excuses. >> no excuses. who you are on the court, is that who you are off the court as well? >> yes. off of the court, i can't sit still. so i always have to be doing something. i'm trying to achieve something. but on the court i

and that is our gold standard that we should be shooting for with hispanics and african american women and all of us. >> yeah. and i just want to have an over all comment that in general san francisco, and compared to other counties across california, we faired better and a lot that have is a combination of our excellence in healthcare quality and our access to healthcare and it is all about dem graphics and healthy y l equals wealth. and us and michelle and our health officer, and our director, mary, are asking us to push further and not be compliant with thinking about comparing ourselves with the rest of the california, and to really dig deeper into the disparity and much of the analysis that michelle has presented is really looking at the raw data and looking at our health out come and related to ethnicity and private insurance verses public insurance, and less, education, of high school students, and high school grads, verses college grads and looking at neighborhoods and so this is just, i know, that they have a lot more data and the population health division has a lot more data

so i did this with two of my white south african colleagues. and as we passed the prison i happens to look over, and i guess they saw this black person in a car with two white guys and thought something suspicious. they followed us and the driver, i said, they're following mass. he said don't worry, i'll lose them. he lost an temporarily. i get out the car, looked over, see the gardens but not to madiba police finally told me after straining my eyes for i don't know how long, look, the security cops will catch up with the sooner or later. that was my first contact.. that was my first contact. the second was when i got a call from my producer telling me to turn on the television. i did not ask any questions because there was a sense of urgency in her voice. and the and banning of the anc. without even thinking i said, start packing and did as a ticket because in those days you had to go through london to get to south africa. two minutes later my producer calls and says, you know the news? and i said, yes, jackie is packing. he goes back a couple

also because there was an african american president. those were the facts. >> charlie, you are a mudslinger and a divider. you have spent millions and millions to divide. we live in a wonderful state, the best melting pot in the world. and you want to try to divide people. i want everyone to live the same shot i did to live the american dream. >> nothing could be farther from the truth. this governor will not even work across party lines to get high speed rail. he will not lift a finger for medicaid expansion. >> first up, you left me with a 3.6 billion dollar budget deficit. you left a project on the table that would cost billions of dollars. and with medicaid, why did you not expand it as governor? i have worked with the federal government, which you did not do. >> governor scott does not work with the administration, that is pretty clear. when we are offered 60,000 jobs with high speed rail, governor rick scott just says no. he is all talk and no action, and as a result tens of thousands of floridians are not getting the employment t

american and both latinos and african americans were hit hard by this housing crisis. >> i also wanted to commend you for standing up to big powerful interests, whether it is banks, to chevron and other entities and trying to unite the diverse low income communities in your city for development that is without displacement and that is sustain able as well and thank you for being here. >> thank you very much. >> and so, first of all, thank you for being here and the way that you have spoken about it and just so a question for you because as a city obviously, and you know, we are to do a joint powers, could you tell me more about the dialogue that happened in richmond? >> about the jpa? >> yeah >> well, about, my partnering with san francisco and i have heard about it and just so that we can >> sure, i would like our city department to weigh in on this obviously, but talk about the dialogue and how it has evolved. >> yeah, well, the issue of doing a jpa, came about because we or actually it was there from the beginning, because it is more, it is a better approach to do the economics of s

latino, and no african-americans. not one executive of your company is african-american. when channel seven asked you about this, you said you couldn't find any. my question to you is -- where did you look? is, i hired african american members in our firm, i've hired latino members in our firm. asian-americans, and many other minorities. as governor, i will drive results, helping minorities, members of families in every communities get results. you have been a failure. african-americans are suffering brutally in illinois under you as governor. , low wages,h crime no jobs, deteriorating schools and a lack of social services. i will get it done. i will retain -- i will have the first latina government in illinois history. i will work for hispanic families, more jobs, better schools. and you been a failure, were taking the african american vote for failure. you had a superstar, stephanie nearly comes to the -- who could have been your running partner. i will ask her to join our ministry should. i what women in our administration. -- i want women in our administration. i will
