this is held by african-american memories. the theme is directly connected to the national park service and it caused us to reflect on the legacy of african americans. our national parks, especially those that demonstrate the african-american story, tell us as a nation to live up to our highest ideals. when i became the director in 2009, i made a priority to use the parks to create civic dialogue, to relate history and create new memories. this into neil year, we encourage all americans to find your park. this is an invitation to, and finds that hollowed ground that resonates with you. those hallowed grounds can include national parks such as carter g woodson national historic site in washington dc.

there is a disproportionate amount of prisoners that are african-americans. we must inform -- reform our criminal justice system to make sure it is more fair and effective. we have seen unemployment rates decrease in many communities, particularly those of color, continuing to express more opportunities. too many young people and women feel like no matter how hard they try, they may never achieve their dreams. our responsibility as citizens is to address inequalities and injustices that linger. and we must secure our birthright freedoms to all people. ofwe mark the 40th year national african-american let us reflect on the sacrifices and contributions made by generations of african-americans, and let us resolve to continue our march, so everyone knows that the unalienable -- rights of life, liberty, and that pursuit of happiness. obama,fore, barack president of the united states of america, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the constitution, and the laws of the united states, do hereby proclaim february 2016 as national african-american history month.

his are not people who are born on the african continent. they were born here, whose ancestors were buried here, who helped to build this country. this had to occur. the 15th amendment, of course, a couple of years later, granted them the right to rope -- to african-american minutes. the 14th amendment, if i'm not mistaken, had talked about the right to vote. but it was more of a -- >> what it said was that which is why sumner and frederick douglass did not like it, that states could deny people the right to vote. men, the women did not like it either because it introduced the word male into the constitution for the first time, that states could take away the right to vote for men but they would lose some representation in congress. it did not give anyone the right to vote. instead if you do not give the right of people to vote, you will lose some political power. >> a microphone has been placed in the two aisles. you will have a nice, long answer period. my follow-up before we get to the questions, the 13th amendment passes in 1865. how on

i was the very first african-american to go into that program.ou can be a professionally trained architect like my colleague, dell green. we also need a lot of folks from the world of business. when you really get down to it, historic preservation is real estate development. real estate developers, folks from that this is community, nonprofit managers who can in many ways, -- you can be involved, depending on your area of interest. >> i'm going to ask you all to stand. >> good afternoon. i'm the executive director of the study of african american life and history housed here at howard university. i cannot say how delighted i am to see this partnership with the national trust. my question is, in addition to adding the history department onto the collaborative team you were talking about earlier, we are very interested in hearing what the students have to say about this because it is very important. speaking to that, technology, we know, is very important. are there any plans on how we keep focusing on innovative technology transformations? >> you

it's unprecedented is underpinning african go through -- african growth.allelectory of growth between subprime africa and china. correlationre is and causation in it. think of what they are experiencing beyond china. about a year ago when things were good, there were very strong similarities between the status of sub-saharan key countries and southeast asia. now we are seeing a diversions on the economic side, southeast asia. policy reform, structural reform , in certain economies to reach back to -- for the ages and growth -- asian growth. >> do you see potential for stronger relations between the u.s. in terms of trade and africa? only about 1% of u.s. exports find their destination to sub-saharan africa. it is about 6% of the portfolio. that is not surprising that the capital markets are in his deep, less options. are a lot more opportunities here than u.s. companies have taken advantage of. we have been active in power, transportation, infrastructure. there are a lot more opportunities and every one of those areas. one of our goals for this trip is to

idea of wa what africans may have contributed to civilization other than you now just the african history started as slaves. it is a >> host: got your point ronnie, ken burns. >> guest: this is a huge essential point is something i've been talked about. we have black history month andt we think of african-american history as a politically correct addendum to our national heritage. we have an argument with regard to the confederate flag in many aspects of our complicated history with regard to race and a lot of people complain in a reactionary mode that we aretr trying to take away history. i think what you are suggestingr is how to expand our history? how do we tell history that includes everyone? for a long time absolute film history the newest the western one. things began in ancient greece and went around in christianity happened and all of a sudden here we are having created the united states of america and its white and essentially european and it excluded asian andh african history and many other peoples history. the more you know it doesn't mean the less you care about the others.

this was mostly african-american women.ike she's doing well with african-american women according to these polls. but again, i do think bernie sanders speaks to kitchen table issues and he speaks in a way that i think is very easy to understand, it's on a ninth grade level or so and that's a good thing. it's almost like donald trump. >> can i just say they have one more debate left in them. tomorrow night is going to be amazing. >> it going to be ugly. >> you saying y ugly. >> john, 75% of the vote is in. he's still maintaining a lead, a significant lead. he's doing really well. 25% of the vote is outstanding. but going thinto this night he s not supposed to do as well if you believed all the polls coming into this primary. >> every poll i saw showed a hillary clinton lead, some a pretty healthy hillary clinton lead. he would much rather prefer the real victory but we have a lot of votes to count. 51% to 48%. we're up to 54% here. this is wayne county, the largest county in the state and where hillary clinton is hoping the

and african union forces in somalia. the removal of those fighters degrades al-shabab's ability to meet the group's objectives, recruit i recruiting members >>> here is what the somalia government had to say: >>> >>> there are conflicting reports about what exactly happened and how many al-shabab fighters were killed. tell us what woe know for sure. -- we know for sure. >> we cannot independently verify what happened in the region of somalia on saturday around 5 pm local time. we know that region is under the control of al-shabab. we know it's very remote location. one of the things that we understand is there was no civilian casualties anywhere near where the air strike happened. the u.s. routinely carries out drone strikes targeting al-shabab leader ship. remember in 2014 the group's leader was killed in a u.s. drone strike. there is conflicting reports. al-shabab are saying there is no way 150 of their fighters will gather in such large numbers knowing that americans drones and helicopters are airborne in somalia. so

new constitutional amendments establish citizen rights for african americans and african americans gained degrees of freedom and independence unimaginable in the slave south. that's not to be underestimated. we have to think about different gradations of freedom, but i think the fact that emancipation mattered, right? it didn't result necessarily in equality of the races, but was a profound change from the previous regime. and that created a great deal of anxiety among whites. for a variety of different reasons. and it's in this context that we can see the rise of institutions like the ku klux klan, right? that use violence and threats against free people to reassert, right, the political, economic, and cultural superiority of white southerners that had been kind of seriously undermined with emancipation. the ku klux klan organized lynch mobs and portrayed themselves really as kind of protecting the weak and punishing criminals for their immoral behavior. and they often resorted to violence and intimidation to protect white southerners from competition from the newly freed people. right?

>> south carolina, majority african american population, and south carolina sent more african americans to congress than any other state during reconstruction. i think it was seven or eight. and one of them, robert elliot, actually left the house to go back and be speaker of the south carolina house of representatives. so african americans did have a lot of opportunity because they were able to muster force at the ballot box in that reconstruction era. >> well, thank you. we've run out of time, but we'll be around if you want to ask questions. you can come up and ask us. before we leave, i want to give chuck a chance to come up and tell you about some of the other events they can coming up. thank you for your attention.

three successive generations ran the plantation, always with the labor of enslaved africans and african descendents. over the course of 100 plus years that they owned this land, there were many generations of people enslaved here, so the population would have shifted over time with market forces. the highest number we ever had recorded at one single time as enslaved people is 101, but we believe that is low. we believe there were as many as 200 and slaved at one point. we have found records of 357 over the course of 100 plus years, but there would be a lot of people missing from that. we will start introducing a population at our first memorial. memorials were built to people enslaved in louisiana and on this land. this is the wall of honor. on this memorial, we recorded the names and basic information about 354 individuals we have been able to find who were enslaved on this land. this memorial is -- it moves through time, roughly chronologically. on the earlier side, people born in the 18th century, but we are missing an entire generation here. we don't know anyone's name who was ensla

i am an african american scientist. when i was in my branch, there scientists in my branch, -- there were 50 scientists and i was the only one african-american. out of 10000 and people in the campus of nasa, there were only four african-american phd's. i want to point out that, you know there is a book by joe and , reader of msnbc called "hard choices." and also, african-american women are the strongest voting block in this country. african-american women do vote. they get out in higher percentages and vote. they elected the first african-american president in history. the women do vote. the thing is my concern is the bias against african-american women. also, i have called many time about bashing against hillary clinton. that is also bashing against african-american women as well. you have to be careful about female bashing. it concerns me because it is bashing against all women. keep on your good work. guest: thank you. i will keep doing what i can. host: from your report on black women in the u.s.

african art has dominated international sales providing an opportunity for the larger african markets. >> reporter: this man has been taking documentary photos for 20 years. some of them are exhibited here. he says he is inspired by the late african artist who was able to support himself entirely through his artwork. andrew says he still struggles to get his own photography, which documents communities and their environments, recognised as art making difficult for him to survive on his art alone. >> i think more can be done. in south africa we're fortunate that we have spaces like this and others to exhibit. other african countries does not have that. most of the african countries needs more to improve. >> reporter: the funds-raising group friends of the johannesbu grshgs art gallery say it's up to the artists to promote themselves >> people that expect to be given a hands up, expect where things come too easily. that's where we have a problem because there are many artists in the world that never get to the top. >> reporter: while new buyers and growing interests mean africa's art ma

thefinally, the question of african american troops.now someone at wesley university whose brother was a veteran of these units, was writing a book about this, and unfortunately it's not fleshed out. 200,000 infantry replacements, that is 25.5 infantry division equivalents of infantry troops that are needed for replacements. the amount of african american troops was only three battalions less. it's an interesting question of how they were trying to deal with it at the time. basing their cost estimates on north africa in itself is quite amazing. who was responsible for that stupidity? the issue with the african-american replacement is is very war department explicit -- at that point there estimates are 10.6% of the entire united states population is african-american, and ofrefore no more than 10.6% the armed forces can be african-american because i don't want to put a disproportionate burden. experiment that looks like it has promise. department, beetle smith -- you will is what will happen if this is the largest, you will and calls for

so, i turned to what african-americans went through or actually they weren't even african-americans at the time because they were not citizens, but what black people in this country went through during and after the civil war when they could marry for the first time. and i thought maybe there is something interesting to learn from that experience as we have turned in the gay community to marriage now. as a form of liberty and equality. it turns out there is quite a bit we can learn and that is what this book does is it each chapter offers parables for today's movement. not to quit homophobia and racism as the same thing, not to say that experience of violence and torture and enslavement that black people have suffered in this country is the same thing as what gay people have suffered in various forms of homophobia, but to create with edwards i.e. describes as a justification between two movements so as we formulate our goals and articulate our values and pursue our political projects today we do so mindful of other movements that we are just opposed with and who can teach us-- those mo

when you say african-american, that is factually incorrect. you're not african. you are american.hink when we say on one hand ,hat we all want to assimilate then you turn around and have black such as the naacp, magazines, black miss america, and on and on it goes. puts thatdoes is that particular group in a special class. it puts them in a special, .ittle bottle -- bubble it says to the rest of us that these people are going to be treated differently and i think the greatest injustice for the african americans in this country is just that. that we don't say that what happened in the past was a absolutely horrible thing, but we are not going to treat you differently. guest: this is a hugely important question. i think it is part of the anger and misunderstanding. let's rumored that if you went to butte, montana in 1880, you would find every sign in 14 includinglanguages croatian. if you look at the mayor of new york city, who got us through 9/11, he would call himself a proud attire in american -- italian american. it is very american and understandable to cherish your heritage. d

it is also extremely valuable for doing african-american genealogy. it provides a very important mileposts in terms of african-american families being able to document the lineage back to 1867. the remainder of alabama voices goes on to tell about the dramatic changes that unfold in the ensuing decades of alabama's history as it becomes the most heavily industrialized state in the south, the most heavily unionized state in the south, and undergoes a whole sequence of changes leading through the turn of the 20th century and as we approach the great depression and world war ii. there is the fantastic story that goes on to the mid-20th century related to the civil rights movement and alabama's role. championing and making it possible for african americans to realize their full civil rights as citizens of our country. we hope our visitors leave with a better appreciation of the rich tapestry that is alabama's history. there are so many fascinating stories here about people who were trying to improve their own lives. here abouttories cooperation, but also

because african-american supporters back the president. -- you know, don't let me show you all may hands. but, you knows, bernie sanders, you got to win these big states and got to win in the cities. meaning hillary clinton understands you got to put together a diverse coalition. she's doing that. that's why she's doing well in these states. but in a few weeks we have hawaii, idaho, some of the states that you republicans like to hold a little early. we democrats wait until the end of march madness. and bernie sanders, i believe, washington state, will try to accrue more delegates. here come april. april is another big bonanza for democrats. if bernie is not able to put together the coalition now in march, going to be very difficult you get to new york and pennsylvania and the remaining states because the math won't change. >> are you saying we have to wait for april for things to clarify? >> i'm sorry, i know -- >> every few weeks people say it's going to clarify next week, next week. >> i think it will be -- >> anderson, you can get that

and african union forces.on that his suggest al show job gaining strength and unafraid to garth never large numbers. the strikes comes almost a year after al-shabab's biggest attack on kenya's ga rizza university a cristal college. and before that it was behind the well-publicized hospital stilling situation at nairobi's west gate mall where 68 people were killed in 2013. the group has also staged suicide bombings in and around mogadishu, but a al-shabab in is turns form is just the latest organization to battle for control in somalia. one of the world's most impoverished countries it has not had a stable government in more than 20 years, al jazeera's john terrett has more on the fight against al-shabab. >> reporter: this week u.s. involvement against al-shabab appears to be been stepped up. two incidents were made public. the u.s. said monday that american drones and fighter aircraft attacked an al-shabob training camp in somalia. 100 fist fighters were killed the pentagon says, there are no pictures not even

not as much as in the south, there is a significant percentage of african-americans. there's a possibility that even though bernie sanders so far is winning quite well in this county, watch this margin. if this holds up as this vote comes, in bernie sanders likely will have a narrow victory. if it starts to go down, hillary clinton could have a narrow victory. more votes for him in kent county. it's not as big a population center. and you can find a few other places like this. kalamazoo is in at 100%. 27%, 28% still to be counted. there are some sanders votes there in ingham county. we're up to 92% of the state. most of this is in. you'll find a few counties up here. you keep looking, 100%, 100%. you hunt around. in the marquette area, could be a couple more votes up there. it may matter in a race this close. the largest pool of volts still out. this is slowly starting to come in. we're getting chunks every 15, 20 minutes or so after a long way. detroit is a big one, mccomb county, oakland county is in at 100%. genesee county, very close. this is why we count them. 91

and finally, the question of the african american troops. i know someone at wesley university whose brother was a veteran of these units, was writing a book about this, and unfortunately it's not fleshed out. 200,000 infantry replacements, that is 25.5 infantry division equivalents of infantry troops that are needed for replacements. the amount of african american troops was only three battalions less. it's an interesting question of how they were trying to deal with it at the time. basing their cost estimates on north africa in itself is quite amazing. who was responsible for that stupidity? mr. klinek: the issue with the african-american replacement is that the war department is very explicit -- at that point there estimates are 10.6% of the entire united states population is african-american, and therefore no more than 10.6% of the armed forces can be african-american because i don't want to put a disproportionate burden. this is a small experiment that looks like it has promise. the war department, beetle smith -- you will is what will h

one set of my documentary about africans and african-american history.he other thing is about finding roots and we'll talk about that. allocated an example. of 42 million african-americans today. since 1970, the percentage of african-americans whose income is over $100,000 has quadrupled. since 1970 the percentage of african-americans whose incomes over $100,000 a year has quadrupled and the percentage of fat in americans whose income is over $75,000 since 1970 has doubled but rather largest middle-class and upper-middle-class in our history. it is the best of times economically for the african-american community. at the same time the percentage of black children living at a big poverty line in 1970 was just over 40%. as of the 2010 census the percentage of black children at or beneath the poverty line is just over 38 or send. it's the worst of times in the black community. but both of these rallies are true at the same time. there are more african-americans and all the people in canada are that always is stunning. it is as martin delaney, martin delaney

one set of my documentaries are about africans and african-americans. the other thing is about finding roots and we'll talk about that. i'll give you an example. there are 42 million african-americans today. since 1970, the percentage of african-americans whose income is over $100,000 has quadrupled. since 1970, the percentage of african-americans whose income is over $100,000 a year has quadrupled and the percentage over $75,000 since 1970 has doubled. we have the largest middle class and upper middle class in our history. at the same time the percentage of black children living at or near the poverty line since 1970 was over 40% as of the 2010 census. the percentage of black children living at or beneath the poverty line is just over 38%. it's the worst of times in the black community. both of these realities are true at the same time. there are more african-americans than all the people in canada. and that always is a stunner. it is as martin delaney, as you know, martin delaney said the negro is a nation within a nation. in 1852. and we are a nation

he wanted to have it so that african mes african-americans would have accommodations on the open road was his dream. he didn't live to see that. he died in 1960. his wife kept it going for four more years. he retired from the postal service in 1952. then he worked on the green book full-time. but when he started on the green back -- when he started in the postal service in 1913, he was able to join a union, the national association of letter carriers which was a white union, which is a -- well, it's a union now still, but back then it was predominantly white. somehow or other he got into this union in hackensack and from that, he still couldn't use his members to get him information, and that same year, 1913, a group of african-american men in lookout mountain, tennessee, mostly railway mail clerks, one of the men was john wesley dobbs. he was a mason. he was also the grandfather of the first mayor of atlanta. so in 1913, this union started and victor green and this union become partners. this is his male force. these were his pied pipers. just like today, the mail carrier in your nei

disproportionately affecting african-americans and latinos. by way of example, we have a law in texas that was previously not -- i should say previously declared to be discriminatory by the department of justice. a federal court has found that this law is discriminatory. but this law when first enacted literally endangered the franchise of half million people. think about this. where you have a law that essentially says, if you have an i.d. that allows you to carry a concealed weapon, it is deemed sufficient, democratic and civic proof of identification to vote. but an i.d. that allows you to carry a book of shakespeare, book of english, a book of engineering, a book of chemistry, a college textbook, is deemed insufficient civic or democratic proof of identification to vote. consider the state of north carolina. at one point, the most progressive in the country with respect to voting rights. but in a few short years in the wake of the shelby v. holder supreme court decision, we saw a massive rollback in terms of the franchise. we saw not only

african-americans. most people don't know that. he won with the african-american vote. he would not have won. most white voters were tired of laws, tired of his rhetoric, knew he had not been a real governor, he had worn out his welcome. he went to dexter ave. kings church, doctor king's church, in his wheelchair. the assassination's bullet, his body had been riddled six times. most people would have died. but he survived six bullets to his body but his body was completely paralyzed from the waist down. he had no feeling and was on pain pills a lot. probably put 16 pain pills it made him incoherent. it gave rise to him crying a lot. i might find him in the corner in his wheelchair with a cigar in his mouth talking about tiny stuff, telling the same story, he would say to me steve, when you were a little boy you were a pageboy, you had to be a page. i was a pageboy too. those shepherds in the northern part of york county, i know, by the way, and he was also hank williams -- up there. he says steve, jenny wallace is my aunt, an old maid. he would tell me that same story o
