the stories of african-american experience doing westward expansion of these african-american homesteaders, to people like -- the first american deputy u.s. marshal west of the mississippi river. support of the active underground railroad network to freedom sites all over the midwest lends itself to so many fascinating opportunities and stories, to educate and serve the american people. which continues to build on the legacy of dr. carter g woodson. so on behalf of the regional director of the national parks service for the midwest region, i thank you for this invitation and for the great work you are doing. thank you so much.

in the 30-year span from the berlin west african conference to the war, declaration, africans values core core ruptd corrupted corrupted. he had in mind the second world war 17 years later when rhodes attempted to steal the roads, and 75,000 soldiers dead, 26,000 of them african women, children and men dead in concentration camps. the institutionalized powers, the french and ecuador, the first -- they sanctioned the ex termination of the people in 1904, an e achieved with bar b ed barbed wire. he was one of the rare people who tried to make sense out of the horror show. the avenue ri. >> and it caused conflict in over production. instead, though, of channelling the highest stage of capitolism, i'm peerlism, it deformed the human tearism of. >> his ideology demanded cold harded discipline, it ex terminates exterminates. the language and the government of subject peoples, he sniffed, an english man may not inquire too closely as to what these people thought themselves. and 11 years later the italians were disgrayings disgrayings -- disgraced. for major douglas haig, future force comman

african-american scouts in the north and west but few in the south.ocal council excluded them. so bolton smith and stanley harris convinces the he national council to ask the rockefeller family for what is a million dollar grant in today's terms to start encouraging local southern council 0, the atlanta council, the new orleans council, the memphis council, the nashville council, jackville, florida to start african-american troops to tone up scouting to african-americans and that was a major shift in the mid-01920s so where scouting could reach into segments of society that had the least opportunity and access and rights and they were teaching in mid-20s, teaching african-american boys to stand up and be full citizens and how to vote and helping with voter registration in the 1920s is ahead of its time. the boy scouts of america did nod allow what we now call cubs, cub scouts, the seven, eight, nine, ten, 11-year-olds, they specifically held firm against including those groups because they didn't want the program to be childish. they wanted the progra

charles wright forms the african museum -- the african american museum in detroit. out with it being a mobile museum so that kids and other people could access it. he was bringing history to them. there was an effort by dr. charles wesley, then the executive director of a solemn sak -- to create a museum for the study of african american history and coat her. and here you see his testimony in congress and the hearing in march of 1968 for that purpose. testified at that hearing. he told congress you should do my historynderstand contains the truth about america. it is going to be hard to teach it. wordsphrase baldwin's long road tole, " hard truth." he'd -- he said that this institute should study why all of his heroes end up dead. referencing medgar evers, melchert -- malcolm x, and many others. 17 days later, reverend dr. martin luther king was assassinated. no museum was created. efforts in theer night -- there was another 80's ton the 1970's and create a national museum located in wilberforce, ohio. there were those who opposed it, the national park service was g

our goals sponsor, the hutchinson center for african and african-american research at harvard university, our silver sponsor, alpha phi alpha fraternity, there's been a lot of talk about different fraternity stuff up here in the past couple of days, so we do accept support from all members of the divine nine. our host committee member, mr. danny partee and his indianapolis based company professional management enterprises there at table number seven. and finally, the honorable senator elizabeth warren of massachusetts who sponsored a table for local veterans to attend as a salute to their service. we are also delighted to have duke energy who has been a great supporter of this conference as well here today as well. thank you for your service at table number six. this afternoon -- oh, yes, let's -- absolutely. this afternoon, we are fortunate to have as our mc author and journalist a'lelia bundles. she grew up in indianapolis and for those of us who know her from d.c., we may not know that and she has written four books about her great great grandmother, madam cj walker, the hair care ind

african-americans in articular. the great war transformed black america. an argument can be made that the first world war was the seminal event of african-americans in the 20th century, one that set the course of black social, political and economic life from its african mask to the present. the war was a moment of profound disjuncture, trauma, and possibility. and i believe that it is a war as a moment of possibility that we can begin to truly appreciate what the war meant for instance and what it can mean for us today. president wode roe wilson framed american participation in the war as a crusade to make the world safe for democracy. african-americans seized upon this, to france tomorrow the war into a battle make democracy a reality for their everyday lives. the war created the conditions and provided the opportunities for black people to mobilize their caller: -- citizenship and demand that america be true to its promise and potential. they fay considerable resistance -- face considerable resistance as would be

with my ownith this work, because when i look at the things the them african-american and they african-american papers and in particular the l.a. times, i see that these leaders have a lot of influence. people wanted to take this seriously, to have conversations about it. so in the african-american owned newspaper, a lot of articles about how important it was for black people to only and. own land.to for w.e.b. dubois it was very obtaining equal rights for african-americans. they formed groups like the naacp in los angeles. all based upon the influence. unlike other places, they took from each of them. capitalized on the advice and opportunities. if you are in new york city or chicago, you would have the irish neighborhood, the italian neighborhood. was that also what we would see in los angeles? >> yes and no, not really. initially when the population was very small, you would find african-americans lived in the same neighborhoods as these ethnically defined white , they also lived in the same neighborhoods as the chinese population, the japanese population. and, the mexican-american populatio

particularly african americans.an idea of what parts of town were populated by african americans which can tell us a lot. being concentrated in specific parts of town meant that other parts of town, other businesses, schools, were cut off from you. it meant that transportation may not exist there, there may be businesses that aren't located in those neighborhoods. and so we can get a better idea by looking at this map and how difficult it can be, could be for african americans to be concentrated in specific parts of town. the other thing that's interesting as well, yes there are heavy concentrations of african american in specific places. but you also see that there are african americans spread out through the the city. a lot of african americans are going to be domestics or what we would call yard men who work outside. and so they're living in close proximity to the white people that they work for. so i pulled this item it's a print from harper's weekly in the late 1860s. and it shows memphis it shows the memphis s

demands that have been made for a long time by african states africans. african activists who have been for a long time calling for the rest of the important cultural properties and materials and objects that were stolen away expropriated by europe during the age of empire be expropriated is a nice long word for just stolen i mean trade by the way the answer is that they got if answers like they did in fact get right when they when they said so all that stuff that you just took while you were plundering our country will you please give it back what was that what sorts of answers were they getting back from that well there have been all kinds of and. you know. given for these demands at some point there were these sort of calm video and arguments about the fact that many of these objects ended up in these so-called universal museums that had the mandate to curator world cultures and therefore natural homes for these objects regardless of how they came to the west now this is this sounded like a great argument ten years ago but now we're at a place where su

african-americans.lcome to memphis sound in 1819 along the banks of the mississippi, the southwestern tennessee city of about 650,000 plays a central role for the civil rights movement and its musical history provides a window into the culture of the country. over the next 90 minutes with help of our comcast cable partners we will learn about the cities history to its local authors. we begin with author who shares the story of the meredith march. >> the meredith march begins here, the last great march of the civil rights, the last time you see the civil rights come together in this, and ever, great for march that attracts national attention, the becomes a lobbying tool for political change, so in that way it is an end. it's the end of an era that we can trace the birmingham and some of the march on washington of the iconic events t but the march is the beginning. it introduces the slogan of black power to the nation. it ignites the controversy in the national media over that slogan but also becomes a to

then, you also get the lynching of soldiers, 10 or 11 african-american soldiers in uniform. again, horrific and symbolic way of saying, do not think that the war for democracy was your war for american democracy, that's not what it was and that's not what we wanted to be. >> so, where does this fit into the larger civil rights movement? >> it was an important moment in the 20th century, in the history of the long civil rights movement. for all of the intensity of white reaction and the insist since of white supremacists, the word means nothing but it did mean a number of things and one thing that it did not to give the war he decided to call the war a war for democracy and gave it a charge for the nation. whether he meant to or not, he opened up a door and after this for a number of rights, women's rights, african-american rights, immigrant rights, he gave away into charging the u.s. to be the democracy that it purported to be and one of the world to see that it was. it brought an international spotlight onto a domestic freedom struggle. african-americans recognize that the

robert: the oldest african-american resort community founded by african-americans.d,uld buy a plot of $25, and build a cabin. i went up when it was just six months old. it goes way back. everyone from duke ellington to langston hughes and count basie. they all come there and stayed there because they could not s at thathe hotel time in history. after desegregation, they fell into disrepair and in different parts. we have developed a wonderful program that serves the community. 6000 kids every summer come to the ranch. we also have 200 to 300 wounded veterans every year. the winter when the ranch is shut down, one of the things my wife identified is that there are programs, one called "together we rise." it handles aging out foster kids. so now we have built a 16 bedroom ranch house and host of to 30 kids during the holidays. we do all sorts of fun activities with them. a fly fisherman. telly with the appeal is. you have a big brain and you are trying to outsmart the small brain? because those little brains are focused on outsmarting you because you are in their terr

reproductive health organizations in some african countries say they are improving maternal health and empowering women to have greater freedom in their lives decide when they want to have children one u.n. sponsored initiative has a target of getting one hundred twenty million women and girls particularly from africa to use contraceptives spawn twenty twenty family can refer to a wide range of services including sex education the promotion of ideas like child spacing greater access to birth control pills an implantable devices or even elective sterilization procedures but not all africans are welcome family planning programs which are often funded by foreign governments and outside philanthropy groups in today show we want to understand some of the challenges in promoting family planning ideas in african countries and joining us to discuss this is. she is a biomedical scientist based in birmingham u.k. she's also the founder of the organization culture of life africa in nairobi kenya and karen kasler because she is the host of the sex and sexuality podcast the spread in philadelphia i

during his tenure obama nominated two highly qualified african-american women to this seat. that was originally recommended by senator byrd that republicans blocked the nominations to hold open the seat for over a decade. now president trump as you know, has nominated tom farr with a long history of opposition to voting rights. to be a leader in suppression of african-american voters in north carolina this began in the eighties and nineties when he was counseled for the jesse helms campaign. with the mayor of charlotte. and to african-american voters. with the north carolina g.o.p. with a ballot security program. this program included sending more than 120,000 postcards to african-american voters almost exclusively to say they are required to live in the precinct that they would vote for at least 30-- prior to the election. and subjected to criminal prosecution if they did not specifically the postcard says providing false information that the information on the postcard was false and clearly designed to decrease turnout but the questions for the record i asked this monash m

so, african-americans popularize this form of music.t some claim is america's only cultural contribution to the international scene -- jazz. culturally, the idea of jazz was that you have whites, blacks, europeans, and americans, sharing space in the same kind of cultural moment. and that is significant for a number of reasons. you might compare it to what rap was in the 90's. what that has done culturally as well. it is also important to note that you had tens of thousands of women serving as nurses, not only for the french prior to the u.s. intervention, but also for americans on the front. mary breckenridge, dorothy o'neill, so what you have here is a kind of album put together by mary breckenridge. the breckenridges were an old family in america. she went to serve as a nurse in 1915 and 1916 in france. she served in the ambulance corps for the u.s. in 1916. this was given to her in remembrance for her service. unfortunately, despite being very dedicated to her craft, she also had a health condition. she comes home and she dies that

dozens of african americans are killed.e the naacp organizing a march in new york to demand better consideration for african-americans. you have thethis is really impoe you have a spike in lynching between 1917 and 1919. african-american soldiers returning from the war are targeted for violence. we often think of the civil rights movement as a heroic. after world war ii in the 1950's. but this. is what lays the groundwork for the later effort. this is a critical moment for african-americans. one thing that they and others had to worry about was how they spoke about the government. today we think of our rights as being enshrined by the first 10 amendments. but the debate about what it meant to be a citizen and the obligations and what you of the government were still in flux in this moment. the war, because of the conscription, and plays a role in this because it said that you could not interfere with the draft. that will lead to the suppression of speech during the war. also the committee on public information sending volun

i think that we are doing our african-american patrons a disservice. when they walk into a clinic and not have nobody look like them, and not anyone who can identify with their needs. and there are not too many of us in san francisco left. when we talk about patient care, patient excellence in patient delivery, we need to consider all of the options. every time we go to h.r. asking, where is the black doctors squat there ain't any. you are telling me that in this whole nation, we have black medical programs in the united states and we can't pull not one , two, or three african-american doctors? no nurses? that is ridiculous. we owe it to our patients. we owe it to our african-american residents of the city to provide the necessary people that they need to get help. >> thank you. >> good evening. my name is john. i'm 81 years old. i am born and raised in san francisco, as were my four kids and five grandkids. i worked 35 years in the san francisco waterfront. i am a three year marine corps.

african-americans are overrepresented 545% in the purges.asian americans are overrepresented by 31%. hispanics are overrepresented by 24%. 14% of african-americans have been purged from voter rolls in the united states of america via this method. >> it is clearly something that will impact this election and in many states we understand that. one thing we look at obviously is they are the supreme court but you talk about that and have great insight in your book, you had several things i wanted to see if you might cover. one is you talked about the good suggestions in terms of how we might measure the idea where you go too far with partisan gerrymandering but then how neil gorsuch and others received that information and one of the other things you had in the book because now with new changes with brett kavanaugh being there is the idea that justice roberts will be the swing vote but you had commentary in reference to esteemed lawyer jerry ebert's experience with justice roberts in the past, it might be illuminating so i wonder if you might ta

armed forces central african police and the central african john domany so now we already have large parts of the country which are which are largely stable without activities of armed groups so these are the foundations it will require more time but the deployment of the central african armed forces these are units which benefit from european union training they benefit from a lot of material support from china from the united states from france they've been provided weapons by russia so there. it is clear signs of international support and this is making the difference on the ground where they are deployed in reducing violence in making people making sure people go but can't go back to their farms back to their businesses as you say the international support is there but i wonder what about you know dealing with the different political factions on the ground the different groups that have been fighting what needs to happen because we've been here before they have been cease fire agreements in the past and then what happened was that violence resumed what needs to happen for there t

i'm talking about new buildings built by african-american hands or at least projects led by african-americans. programs led by african-americans and why people get that white people getting to work under african-americans and so on and so on. thank you all. god bless america. [applause] the real america. not the america that donald trump talks about. [laughter] >> thank you. >> good evening board of supervisors. thank you for hearing george holding this hearing and think of her a supervisor can for scheduling this first hearing. i have lived in san francisco since i was ten years old and san francisco was about 13% black. that is a shameful 3%. it is not the city i once loved. i have been a city worker since 2013 and i have witnessed firsthand how my black colleagues are bypassed for promotions. i have served clients who are clearly not getting the effective and meaningful service they deserve from the staff promoted and giving those vital jobs. not only is this an employee probe of problem, this is impacting the vulnerable san franciscans we are supposed to serve. my agency acts more like it

but first aid agencies are calling the crisis in the central african republic one of the world's most neglected conflicts an elected government is now in power however the violence between armed groups continues it's forced more than twenty thousand people from their homes and this year alone nicolas hoch sent this report from a refugee camp and. it just arrived ulead displaced children in this refugee camp the latest victims of the and then dig sick tarion violence in central african republic. some have their homes burnt to the ground others were chased from their villages by young men with machetes and guns among them are survivors of unspeakable violence. ten year olds to the his mother is dead her father is killed because they were christian by their own muslim neighbors. she hid in the bush with her uncle then tried to return to her village but the men kept coming back so she had again. there's no hiding from the violence we want the arms to go the violence to stop we just want peace this is silliness you home an overcrowded refugee camp of twenty three thousand people surrounded

targeted african americans with almost surgical precision. north carolina's republicans designed the law after asking for and receiving data sorted by race on voting practices. mr. farr not only defended the law, he described the voting restrictions, which forbade the use of government employee i.d., student i.d., and i.d.'s used for public assistance as, quote, a minor inconvenience. that's only mr. farr's recent history involving voter suppression. if we go back and look at campaign of senator jesse helms in 1990, mr. farr represented the helms campaign and defended it against accusations that it sent over 120,000 postcards almost exclusively to black voters that falsely warned them they could be charged with a crime if they tried to vote -- falsely, falsely warned them. the mailers were sent after statistics emerged that african american registration was outpacing white voter registration. the sordid history of mr. farr's efforts to suppress voting goes back even further. mr. farr was a member of senator jesse helms' 1984 campaign. in that

there was a time when we had up to 100,000 african-americans in this city. now we don't have enough left to even feel -- fill the old 49ers stadium, candlestick park. we can turn this around. let us be like charles johnson. retrieve this ball and make a touchdown. we made a touchdown for people who wanted to come to this country and breathe free when we made san francisco a sanctuary city. [ applause ] >> reverend brown: we made a touchdown when the governor and my friends, gavin newsome. if we can make touchdown on wga marriage and a touchdown on -- talking about how wrongly they've been treated, looked over, pushed back, and not given opportunity. i beg you don't let courage skip your generation. do the right thing. and the world will applaud you. [ applause ] >> thank you. [ please stand by ] >> thank you, so much, supervisor fewer. i also want to acknowledge the mayor, mayor breed for the executive perspective that she signed a few months ago at this point in time and what is interesting to me about this is that it was done in some sort of coordination w

stealing african-american voters away from the dems. have more support from the african-american community? and what will this all mean for 2020? brandon tatum, thanks for being with us tonight. >> good evening to you. thank you for having me on. judge jeanine: some of the polls that we have seen, it shows that president trump's approval among black voters is at 14% disapproval. that's pew and that's from june, five months ago. do you have any numbers like that? what is the standing given all the benefits african-americans have been making under this president? >> one of the polls i like to look at on the rasmussen polls has the african-american support at 36%, double from last year. people can talk about polls all they want to. but the polls don't tell the true number of support. and i have seen firsthand african-american support increase from my social media to people i talk to every day. young black leadership. i can see the enthusiasm in the black community, and i think it will grow exponentially as we go forward. judge jeanine: let

what prevents african americans, specifically this group of folks, african americans from being promoted? finally, if there's policy directives or create a more economic justice and more fairness in our workforce. this hearing today is a chance for the city and county of san francisco to be forward looking not just acknowledging our short comings but in a position to better understand what we can do to continue to become the best city and county for all of our residents. those that live and reside here and those that work here. and i want to understand what tools our departments need in order to do that. we're hear from micky callahan from the department of human resource and linda simon the director of equal employment opportunity programs and representatives from various organizations, several other department heads have also been invite and will join us in answering comments from colleagues as they arise. i want to understand a handful of things i'll lay out. i'm hopeful you'll be able to answer the specific question. first, if there is a dedicated person in human resources for dealin
