another african american from chicago. and he's the first african american from congress. and what you begin to see in that decade from the 1930s into the 1940s and you see it very clearly in this chicago district is that there's a shift in african american allegiance away from the republican party. the party of lincoln and the party of reconstruction to the democratic party for the new deal and it has to do with the fact that african americans are recruited by democratic city leaders and there's the promise of greater political participation which is that promise that pulled african americans out of the south during the great my fwrags to begin with. and they have a slightly greater voice in that new deal coalition that franklin roosevelt puts together and they begin to be drawn toward the democratic party. and he down plays the fact that he's an african american in congress. he doesn't want to push black issues per se as he told the press on numerous occasions. he served for a couple of terms and he is replaced by another member named william dawson that's one of the lon

we get our first african-american woman. that is surely chisholm -- in 1969.hisolm and more specifically to the voting rights act which protects voters in districts where they have a hard time registering previously because of local laws and state laws and disenfranchisement. we have the first southern members elected since reconstruction. and as the numbers of african americans in congress increase, one thing that this allows the core group to do is to create an issues caucus. so in 1971, we have the formation of the congressional black caucus. which is a group of roughly a dozen members at that point. but it is able to exercise some power as a voting block and as an organization that educates members on issues that are important to the black community nationally. so the black caucus becomes involved very early on in things like opposing apartheid in south africa, building momentum to pass a federal holiday to commemorate martin luther king's birthday. so it is operating at a legislative level. but inside the institution, i

irish, jewish, and african-american citizens rose .p against these images jewish and african-americans were alarmed that images of ofir groups -- at images their group as sexually depraved. jews said that images of the scheming firebug insulted them. irish americans and african americans were shown to be childlike and incapable of orderly democratic participation. irish and african-americans also objected to images of bridget, the irish made. -- the irish maid. african-americans were also concerned about images of the ma nny. all three groups leave disparaging representation impaired their social standing and political equality. the used direct actions, including disruption of acts onstage, to protest in front of theaters. they used backstage lobby and. -- lobbying. they used state censorship to stop racial ridicule. by looking at the three campaigns together, we can see these early struggles against racial ridicule were not an oddity. it is not just, one case with the irish got angry about the russell brothers. there was a common language of protest across three different races, 100 y

it depicted violence on stage against african-americans. in the first year of its tour, neither of these claims was the basis for censoring the play. the play is not stopped, although there is significant criticism. so the play was controversial for inflaming racial antagonism, but it was not banned in any city until the aftermath of the atlanta race riot in september 1906. "the klansman" may have played a role in stirring up violence in atlanta. when the play appeared in atlanta in 1905, near the end of 1905, the audience became unruly and police worked to silence the racial hostility in the audience. after the atlanta riot, african-american citizens had more success asking local officials to stop the play. city governments were now more likely to agree to censor the play after this context of racial violence that seemed to be associated with the play. in philadelphia, in october 1906, a large group of african gathered outside of the walnut street theater when "the klansman" was scheduled to appear. 2000 african-americans came to protest a

there were african-americans living on that land. years ago,eading andng to learn about d.c., across from where it would be in 1830's, there were slave pens. that got my attention. unveil two new signs in d.c. -- one on slavery in d.c., and there are no signs currently talking about slavery in d.c. unless there is one in the pearl on the river -- heause when lincoln came, could see the slave pens from his office and he wrote about it. so we have the link", what it looked like to him. sidehen we have a second and we took from solomon northrup's own riding, the description of williams' private jail where he was captured and we are using images from in 1836 broad side -- slave market of america. so, we have to bring this history to light and we have to continue -- those of you working on your dissertations know there is more research to be done to find out the history of our places. [applause] did you have a question to pose? mr. franklin: what was it like working at frederick douglass? mr. stanton: frederick douglass was my first super

this is what i hear from many african americans and not just from african americans but from many kindking people. that's when donald trump lost the african american vote was that moment where he refused or pretended not to know who david duke was. >> well, i don't think so. if you look at -- i looked at a recent poll among african americans taken between august 19th and august 25th. and it showed him having 8% of the african american support. as compared to 2012 with mitt romney who has six in the same period of time in 2008 with john mccain who has had 2% of the vote. i think donald trump is going to do well among african americans. look, all candidates make missteps and misspeak about issues. david duke supported bill clinton. i don't think we got up in arm over that, doing his time. i believe that we're going to end up with about 12% to 15% of the african american support across the nation, because he's talking about issues that are -- that are needed to be talked about in our community. that's going to help us grow our communities, because the problems exist, and we can deny them

african-american middle class. decimated. these jobs went to mexico and other places. politicians. democratic policies have also given rise to crippling crime and total violence. then there's the issue of taxation and regulation. massive taxes, massive regulation of small business and radical restrictions on american energy, have driven jobs and opportunities out of our inner cities and many cases out of our country. hillary wants to raise taxes very, very substantially on everybody and on business, and especially on small business as high as 45%, which will onl drive more jobs out of your community, out of our country and into other countries. one of the greatest betrayals has been the issue of immigration. illegal immigration violates the civil rights of african-americans. that's what's been

it has a disproportionet advantage of african-americans. the vote. his words sound new but they're really old words and an old plan. >> mr. tucker do you want to respond? i agree. i moderated a political, business, and religious leaders, and we talked about a significant issues in the african-american community and i had before me, individual that had five gunshot wounds in his body and he talked about violence in the community. those issues are real and i think donald trump has laid out a plan that's new. i mean a new deal i've heard about it today, but it is what he's been talking about over the last couple of months of the campaign and particularly, as he has appeared before groups in michigan and arizona and philadelphia, so i think that he's going to be good as he's laid out his plans and then as a president, implementing those plans for the community at large, as well as the african-american and latino community. >> so as a supporter of donald trump, can you explain to me or maybe you can and him why does he frame the issues of africa

you see tens of thousands african-american -- tens of thousands of african americans moving out of the rural south, additive agricultural jobs, to industrial jobs in chicago, st. york, andtsburgh, new the african american population in the city's increases and the african-americans in those cities are gradually recruited by the political parties. depriest is a perfect example of that process. he is born in the south. he and his family are part of a group that move to the midwest to kansas. he goes to grade school and high but he findssas, his way to chicago in the 1890's and moves up through the political system and becomes a chicago city councilman in the his career hasd some peaks and valleys. but by the 19 -- by the 1920's, he's part of the republican political machine in chicago as an alderman. 1928, when the sitting congressman from chicago, a very powerful republican on the appropriations committee passes away mid-congress in the fall elections, he runs for the seat and wins. in 1929, he comes to the house of representatives. >> one of my favorite things about his career is this

about a million of the folks are african-americans. that's a serious issue. folks like chuck grassley, senator durbin has made mention there's a need for criminal justice reform, that's something that both parties agree on. where is that a social liberal policy? mr. trump has hit on the heart of the issues that face the african-american community and haven't heard much of that in this policy cycle. liz: we're out of time. you will stick around. watch this, the filmmaker michael moore said it sounded like he endorsed donald trump. i'm serious. the liberal filmmaker is on tape saying a trump win could be the biggest screw you to the political establishment in history. we'll bring you the full sound, you'll want to hear it for yourself. don't go away. >> trump's election is going to be the biggest [ bleep ] you ever recorded in human history. and it will feel good. you can run an errand.

so who were these african-americans? they were the very middle class and upper class african-americans who had fought and scratched so hard to get into those social classes. those who were much more closer than the white middle class to the crime and dysfunction, okay, of crime-filled areas. who were often telling him something needs to be done about this. from the drugs to the guns, etc., that are ruining neighborhoods, ruining lives. so the african-american support was critical for this, and clinton campaigned hard on it in places like churches such as the churches in memphis, tennessee. and where he proposed to be dr. martin luther king for a moment and said, well, i did not die for all of you to kill one another. this also contributed to -- [inaudible] kiss parities, disparities which are still present today and president obama is trying to handle through the department of justice. the next issue that he deals with also is racially fraught with danger, and that is the issue of crime. excuse me, welfare. welfare had s

failing to africa and coming every african flight. dragging them across the atlantic to work in the battlefields. in particular and of course in the caribbean in the middle at the 18th century when the thought was more valuable. of course, the story shifted. the hope in conjunction with the caribbean because the africans outnumber the europeans at a rate 10 to one or 22 when the caribbean's create fertile grounds for the rise of slave revolts, which is not only jeopardizing the investments, but a lot of slave owners and their families. this of course released a retrenchment on the mainland, where the ratio is a much more favorable to slavery but that does not necessarily save because in 1739 -- in seven to 12 you have the results of the famed manhattan. recently spearheaded by angolan who not only many of them speech portuguese, but many of them were actually roman catholic. they were trying to get to spanish florida at that time controlled by same and there is a direct collaboration between spain and the enslaved africans in south ca

and african-americans were its victims. and grant went on, a government that cannot give protection to life, property, and all guaranteed civil rights, including an untramled ballot is a failure. too long denial of guaranteed rights is sure to lead to revolution, suffering must fall on the innocent as well as the guilty. grant left the presidency in 1877, therefore seeing that while reunion had been achieved, justice for african-americans had not been. he still couldn't quite forget what had happened. after his presidency goes, a trip around the world. and among the people he meets is auto vaughn bismark, another great statesman of national reunification or unification. the two men talk. think of this conversation ulysess. grant and auto vaughn bismark. he goes your situation, you have to unite your country by blood and iron, through war. and grant says, but that wasn't all, it was also about slavery. we could not be a truly united people until we destroyed slavery. slavery is still on his mind. so is the attitude -- it's s

african-americans live in poverty.this is more than we've seen in a long time. that number has actually picked up slightly. you mentioned the wealth data and wealth data is astounding. today is black women's equal payday. that means if a black woman wanted to earn the same as a white man had earned, she would have to work until today, auguse woman there equal payday is april 12 or 13. a latina woman would be working until october. these are some of the inequalities that are basically hardwired into our system. not to mention the differential levels of homeownership. not to mention mention the fact that african-american homeownership took a real big hit during the great recession. the african-american homeownership level dropping. we can virtually, any piece of data that you look at shouts out these inequalities. what is it matter? wealth matters, first road policing because you have something to bail someone out with. talking about pale, if you have a home you can use the home. more than half of african-americans don't

africans that the i.c.c. is pressing charges against, and they think that that is unfair. >> sreenivasan: and now, to be clear, the united states is a signatory, but it has not ratified. it is not an active member of the i.c.c. so if these nations start to withdraw, what happens to the overall weight that the i.c.c. carries? >> i think that it could tremendously weaken. there are many human rights activists and others, legal, international law experts who say this could seriously weaken the i.c.c. as you say, the united states is not a full member. there are other countries that are not full members. russia and chine xaisrael are amongst the others. and the i.c.c. is at a point where it wants to increase its membership to get all members in the world, all countries in the world to sign. and at this point, now, it is backtracking or it is losing members. and it is losing members from africa which is an important sign of its legitimacy throughout the world. so it could be a really significant blow to the i.c.c.

not just for african americans, but for women. and following her throughout the next four decades are roughly 40 african american women who are elected to congress. and that's an impressive number when you look at that number relative to the number of african americans who have served in congress from the beginning. it's a much larger percentage than for example caucasian women or hispanic women or asian american women. so, again, kind of the rising influence of women within that community and their role in congress. >> you know, one of the things that is interesting about looking at women in congress and african american women in congress is seeing the role on the national stage. and we have a couple artifacts here that really illustrate that. here is a cover of "ebony" magazine from 1969. right when shirley chisholm first took office. and she is on the cover. and really, it says "new faces in congress. mrs. shirley chisholm is first black woman on capitol hill." and she like many other members of congress become important nation

so what you have seen is him reaching out to african-americans, not necessarily to get african-americanonvince urban white women who don't want to vote for a racist that he's not racist. the problem with the current line of attack is suburban married white women don't like talking about infidelity. they don't like seeing it and don't want it a topic of the presidential campaign. it's a turn off for them to have it become a major issue. the threat he's going to bring it up in the next debate is a potentially dangerous one for a campaign that's been so single mindedly focused on appealing to women and puts them off. >> there's a new trump campaign ad to try to appeal to women voters. let's watch. >> the most important job any woman can have is being a mother. it shouldn't be taking pay cut. i'm ivanka trump, a mother, wife and prur. >> why from ivanka and not his wife, melania? >> we have not seen a lot of melania on the campaign trail. she hasn't been involved. >> isn't that odd? inside two months, doesn't america want to get to know the potential first lady? >> it is very unusual for th

we talked about the african-mesh leadership. we talked about civil rights attorneys, it's something that over the last 60, the fiect was going on in the 1600's when weo had to understand the names marion anthony johnson, marian anthony johnson who married in the 1600, owned land, had servants on their own, white and black servants.an i would like to say to my students, during class you can keep the list, things my professor says to me and i'm going to look up later. you may also keep that list. please understand it was the law changing to take the land away, to take them aliens in their own land. but when people of started owning land, the laws started to change making them aliens in their own land. each time there's been a push forward to full inclusion there's been undermining of those rights by law and then society agrees the lawmakers then turn to say, well, i'm doing what the people who elected me asked me to do. there have been africans in our country all of this time, however, there are political power has been marginaliz

and in any african-american report, quote african-american report, an attorney from atlanta said that he believed that for too long in ms. kennedy silence has been interpreted as consent. and i put that over my desk. silence has been interpreted as consent. and i think what's going on now and forsyth is exactly what jason is talking about the there's a real veneer of normalcy, a real veneer of suburban affluence but there are big box stores bigger. are often people of color working cash registers at best buy. when i went to their, almost no one knows about this. maybe they do know. i hope they do now but almost none of the people who moved from atlanta knew about it. foprecise is the hottest real estate market in the city. at least until very to i don't think it's true but recently was named among the top 25 wealthiest happen counties in the entire country. this is a place where people got extremely wealthy. it's not like this land ended up being taken from blac black vots and the two state farmland that it has become unbelievable generator of wealth. when i first started going around

hundreds of african-american mothers named their babies booker t. whites went to hear him and were persuaded by his message of hope and peaceful human relations. washington believed that confrontation was futile and even suicidal and he turned to public relations through philanthropy and struggled for black equality. starting with his atlantic speech until his death, his most fundamental purpose was to reverse the general presumption among most white americans that blacks were regressing morally into some dangerous state. a second basic though was to stop the growing of hostility of whites towards any black education in washington's view education was the key and blacks to raise their status. my book explores several neglected contegs of his life. the most influential works of washington have portrayed him as a favorite of white supreme sifts in the south when in fact southern politicians denounced him viciously for years. the meager and declining -- another context is to recast the thinking of philanthropy and the role of what some people have call

yet too many african-americans have been left behind.een left behind. 45% of african-american children under the age of 6 live in poverty. 58% of african-american youth are not currently employed. african-americans comprise roughly 13% of the population. yet make up 60% of murder victims under the age of 22. that's some number, isn't it though? some number. in 2015, violent crime in charlotte increased by 18%. and it's expected to rise to 24% this year. in chicago, nearly 3,500 people have been shot since january 1st of this year. it's not a very long time ago. think of it, 3,500 people. the conditions in our inner cities today are totally unacceptable, and we have to fix them. the democrats have run -- [ applause ] the democrats have run our inner cities for 50, 60, 70 years or more uninterrupted. they have run the school boards, the city councils, the mayor's office and the congressional seats. their policies have failed. and they fail eeds mie eed miss. they oppose school choice and every single turn. the clinton's gave us nafta, one

it did was to allow south africans to turn a toil. africansok the south down, saying that he had violated its revelation. interesting to note that the south african cultural knowles, that south africa did indeed have an obligation to set our initiation wrong further. soterday, the parents were exact thing -- exacting. the process has not started. take a stance on the field. membership is voluntary. i also wanted to thank south africa the things. i oftentimes cannot come pleaded with 11 propositions added to it. south africans are also members of the north number and come chinese a seizure. >> what's the reaction to this news? some of the human rights organizations, as well as south africans, democratic official opposition party in south africa has not taken south africa to court saying that minutes of international relations had no place in the phallus -- in the policy to help you communicate. it was described as astounding. organizations inc. is a take back to human rights. not only in south africa, but also on the african continent.

or calls african-americans the african-americans.ean, the messenger matters, how you present that message to people matters. they won't hear you. if they think you're a bigot, forget about it. >> j.d., then mayor. >> well, i think that's absolutely right, it's not just that donald trump doesn't speak to issues of special concern of minority voters, it's that he seems to like actively antagonizing a lot of the black vote. unfortunately, that's been the republican party strategy for 30 years. i say that as a republican who wants the party to get more black voters. trump seems to be taking that to the next level. it shows in the polls he's not going to do exceptionally well on election day. >> there are those of us who look at the mistakes in the past and look at them, and people like paul ryan or jack kemp, they rised what needs to be said and how to do it, and it's gone to the wayside, because of who our candidate is, and he can't articulate that, it's really set us back, unfortunately. >> i think the important thing to remember -- >>

idealistic white liberals, young women, and african-americans." trump's senior communications adviser shot down that report, speaking to halle jackson saying "we want everyone who can legally vote to show up." well, joining us now from d.c., post national political reporter robert costa, and as promised, josh green, national correspondent for bloomberg business week who wrote the piece we were just quoting. it's arresting to read the peace and arresting to talk about voter suppression. you want to say, you know people can hear you. >> first, i would like to say the trump campaign didn't shoot anything down. what jason miller said was, the person who told that to business week was not authorized to say it. so let's be clear, nobody is pushing back on the story or refuting anything we're reporting. they're saying gee, unfortunate choice of words. i think it was an unfortunate choice of words. voter suppression is a loaded term. what they're doing more is like dissuading, people, if they showed up at the polls, would be likely to vote for hillary cli

when i see young police officers with the african-american we think you for your service. they're out to protect us and protect our society. it was moving to see the young demonstrators in charlotte, north carolina, shaking hands and hugging the national guardsmen. >> how old are you. you didn't live during the era of march. when you think about what's going on today and what you've learned about in this history what are your thoughts. there is a bright light and the fact that we are actually seeing many of these killings i don't think they are happening in isolation i don't think they just started. i think they've been happening for quite some time but because of the nature of camera phones and technology in technology we are able to record these incidences and they can't be swept under the rug anymore. i think the first step towards dealing with them. and finally we are able to have a national conversation around it. and my hope is that that spurs organizing protesting and action on the part of our elected officials. for me growing up in the district i heard about the ci

african-americans, there is a slight drop. i think that is more of a statistical error than anything else. i think that obama holds his own amongst these groups. this is the group i think they are most concerned with. they figure they would do less well with his group then both elections. looking at the latest polling, nationwide -- i put this crude graph together. clinton is beating donald trump 58 by 22 amongst urban voters. you think that is great, but it's slightly less well than obama did. there are different class locations of who is a urban or suburban voter. but generally most categorizations seeing obama winning 60-65% of this group, so this is doing less well. you can see that this does not add up to 100%, does it? there is a fair amount of undecided voters. rural area tend to back republican candidates. that is know that uncommon. -- that is not all that uncommon. democrats do well in the cities that offsets the smaller counties. i take somewhat issue that there are these single bill whether counties. counties.bellw
