, patriots in the american which traces the history of african-americans. and the central question and theme is the degree to which the united states military had served as an important marker for african-americans, and a symbol of citizenship. thel the 14th amendment, question of citizen ship was that of citizenship was widely debated in the united states. in the dred scott decision, it was said that african-americans be citizens, but the two symbols of citizenship that most northerners agreed on was certainly that if you served in the united states military you were a citizen, and if you received a u.s. passport you were a citizen. precedent from that in the revolutionary war, the war of 1812. and william cooper knell documents that. that in amented conference at the massachusetts historical society. ell was huge in convincing theoln to alter emancipation proclamation to call for the arming of blacks in using blacks in the military, recognizing that as a symbol of citizenship. it's a radical shift from the limitary emancipation proclamation, which advocat

and on the flipside, the new deal is creating new spaces for african-americans and southern americans in particular r to push for civil and economic rights. right. civil and economic rights and again, to use roger wilkins can' phrase to push for and aspire for that inclusion into the the mainstream of american life. and so the new deal is very essential in that regard, and also seeing the continued fight against lynching. this is an issue since the beginning of the 20th century as we well know. it is still an issue in the late 30s and 1940s and african-americans are still facing the threat of racial terror throughout the united states. and there is going to be some push back against this, and the pushing for, and the edadvocacyf the national legislation, and the anti-lynching legislation, and also some other areas of the pushback in the terms of a african-americans trying to assert the rights and assert the rights as citizens of the country, and for instance in the 1930s, moving into the 1940s a series of don't buy where you can't work boycotts. all right. so the segregation combined

there's one law school for african-americans in the american south in the 1930s. that's howard university. right? there are no -- there's one dental school. right? there's two medical schools. one in nashville and one in washington, d.c. and all of the other graduate programs you can imagine are outside of the south. and so again, this is a very instrumental process that the naacp is engaged on in terms of this assault on segregation. other things we should keep in mind in terms of what's going on in in teterms of organizing and mobilizing, the naacp has a brilliant organizer by the name of ella baker. if you don't know this name, you should look her up. you should hit wikipedia, whatever way you can find this source. in the late 1930s, early 1940s, she is working for the naacp and instrumental in helping them expand the vitality of their branches. she's the director of branches and her job is to go into places that have more chapters of the naacp and figure out how to revive them. one of the things she discovers is there's lots of local leadership all across the

american exceptionalism. i'm afraid of that but the second question, i am also a lawyer. something i'm quite aware of. what you has been emphasizing is human rights and whether you know where i am from, together in other places. and economic -- it is something, if a caribbean leader was set up tomorrow. others captured -- to create a system in the caribbean or central america in the future. independent nationalism. in ways, in the side. simply not something heat up on that. >> i use the term human rights in a way activists at the time did which is political and civil rights. the activists i look at, the one exception is a segment of people very active on chile, some were formerly members of the communist party but others were more leftist in their orientation and they were criticizing the us, not just for torture and other abuses but broader issues in social and economic rights and the more adair -- narrow definition. that is what we refocused on. in terms of this other question, academics who work on human r

is that what the american people want? is that what the american people want? >> no. >> and you know something, the american people are not fooled by this. the polls that you see just in the "wall street journal" yesterday, we've seen them in a recent poll. they get that this tax cut did go to them, didn't go to denver with the people who already had enough funding. and they also get that what is going to be lost are the things that real people need. so last thing i'll say is this. today is tax day. the next day that's really, really, really important is a little tuesday in november. the way in which we respond is to bow out the people who did this and vote in people who will change of this. [applause] [chanting] vote them out. vote them out. vote them out. [chanting] >> thank you. i've had the pleasure of traveling the country over the past few months with our next speaker. he is somebody who has stood up time and time again for working families, and he will not give up fighting for all of us. that man is senator bernie sanders.

turkey will only be happy for the americans to leave the area because turkey feels that american sport to the p.k. caters to the p y d y p.g. is only complicating matters there's no dice straight left if there's any dice threat level then turkey and russia can deal against that day straight iran can deal against that day straight because it's a middle threat however the americans are there they want to stay on there. and they want to despite president trumps declarations as you know pentagon's managed to convince him that we have to stay for the time being how long that time is being nobody knows still prison troubles say as soon as possible but nobody can define what that what that as soon as possible this the americans won't stay there pending the wants to stay there to be able to counter russian presence in the country and iranian prisons in the country so the americans are not greedy there to fight they they're there to. have a certain control over the north of syria and be on the bargaining table or i wouldn't take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking wit

i guess briefly, my new work is on history of african-american genealogy and african-american familystory and all this point about memory and what goes underground or fugitives in the aftermath of reconstruction and the impossibility of public commemoration, i feel very strongly that what is happening behind closed doors is incredibly important in terms of the transmission of stories, grandmothers tell their grandchildren at bedtime or at the kitchen table or while laboring. heather williams and others have written beautifully about the relationship between the kind of impossibility of much of these traditions during slavery, so one in three approximately enslaved children experience major separation from a family member and that's also not just the deprivation of family members, but family history and so i think the names won't be known in many cases until we look for them and find them and write them down, but many have them within their family history and i'd to this in the classroom with my students and they opted that don't know anything. we have no records are paper and i say l

protecting american workers, the american middle class, and the american dream should not be a partisan issue. and i'm deeply concerned with mr. ring's appointment to the nlrb, if confirmed to the five-member board, the majority of the agency charged with protecting workers vice voices will be stacked with voices that undermined workers rights. i think workers should be treated fairly, but not at the expebs of our -- expense of our nation's workers and the middle class. we need nlrb members who will stick up for american workers and the american class. mr. ring will not be that kind of nlrb member, and the administration and the majority are actively preventing seating someone who will stand up for workers. i will be voting against mr. ring's nomination, and i urge my colleagues to do the same. thank you, madam president. i yield the floor. a senator: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from alaska. mr.sullivan: i have 14 requests for committees to meet during today's session of the senate. they have the approval of the majority and minority leaders. the presiding office

a 100% american and a 100% organic. - grown american means exactly what it sounds like.wn in america, the greatest country in the world where the streams are clean, where the air is pure. we have some of the best soil in the world. just good, rich, organic, black dirt. grown american superfood was developed to capture the goodness in natural, whole foods and that's exactly what it is. - our products really go from being a fresh crop out in the field at van drunen family farms into our processing facility in a matter of hours. - grown in america means beat quality. the best service, the best price. this is part of our job, farmers and processors, to get the best product to the customer as we can. - what means the most to me about grown american superfood isn't just that it's organic, but it's organic grown in this country. it's still hard to get home in time to chop, and clean, and cook vegetables for my kids. that's what's great about the grown american superfood is i can sneak healthy, organic vegetables into foods that they already like. this is some macaroni and chees

i believe in american ingenuity, american enterprise, american leadership.i believe america must lead the world in solutions to this generational challenge, but how can we expect mr. pompeo to lead the department of state in bringing greater peace, security and prosperity to the american people through international engagement if he does not believe in u.s. leadership? he does not bloef that the united states is necessary for solving global problems, especially global warming. mr. pompeo has too much to apologize for, too many statements to retract or explain, too many controversial positions to defend, and of most concern are mr. pompeo's past statements suggesting that he values military force over diplomacy, even when diplomacy is a real option. while negotiations with iran over its nuclear program were underway, he argued that military strikes on iran were preferable to diplomacy and quote, it's under 2,000 sorties to destroy the iran and isn't insurmountable for coalition forces. he did not rule out a military solution in north korea, which would be dis

kind of an american exceptionalism argument. america is different than the rest of the world and lack of radicalism was part of that difference, which this course is designed to try to refute. what i am going to do today is not try to cover all of the types of extremism in your readings this week. i am going to just pick just one of those types, and that is anarchism. i am picking anarchism for a variety of reasons. one is as a historian i am appalled by the use of the word narchist in the press whenever there is a riot, and in my old hometown of berkeley, the term was used widely. that the protesters were narchists. and, what they were doing was equating anarchism first with just vandalism. no ideology in particular, which is wrong. nd, also equating anarchists ith destructiveness. and, indeed the folks they were covering, the news coverage, were doing destructive hings. they were trashing stores and things like that. anarchists of the type i am talking about did do violent acts, at least some schools of anarchy, but those acts

american non action american action or both forms of intervention is because of the general presumption that the united states has a responsibility to be involved in every conflict everywhere in the world in the basic reality is the united states has relations with governments in every part of the world and having relations with governments in every part of the world the united states is involved in every conflict in every part of the world in either through its actions or its in actions the united states is going to be blamed for the outcome so the question is ok what is the best policy for the united states to follow is it a policy of action in action or some combination of the two and calibrating that policy has been the challenge that american foreign policy makers have faced ever since the end of the second world war and that explains the consistency in american foreign policy now if we were to look at the current administration and see a radical break with that consistency the radical break might need to disown a responsibility for all these conflicts and there was a lot of concer

to the american people. what wonderful companies these are and wonderful employees they are. i would like to go over the specific positive changes to our tax code that occurred under the tax cuts and jobs act. a middle-class family in south carolina will save thanks to the tax cuts. the child tax credit was doubled and i want to give credit, the reason it was doubled because of the great work of our u.s. senator tim scott working with ivanka trump kushner and this was to make child friendly, family friendly and looking out for persons who are single-parent households and the child tax credit was doubled from $1,000 to 2,000 making it easier for new families to provide for their children. the bill removed the mandate that required you to buy to buy or pay a penalty. .eople are not being pen liesed this standard deduction doubled to $24,000 for married couples filing jointly. this makes it simpler for couples to file their taxes because they will use the standard deduction and won't itemize. corporations that

i think, also, it is the coming together here of african-american, native american, and anglo-american people that created a rachel cauldronnd -- a racial that boiled over in the 20th century, particularly in the race riot. many people will say that is not the proper name for it, many people call it the race massacre. it was an assault by 10,000 armed whites on the wealthy, well-to-do black community of tulsa called greenwood in 1921 on the night of may 31, june 21. it is the most massive assault by white americans on black americans. those kinds of things were happening in florida, arkansas, and other places at the time, but nothing to the degree and drama, and complete destruction of a very, very wealthy, well-to-do community of successful and prosperous in aan americans living certain kind of autonomy here in oklahoma. and then it was covered over, that history disappeared. , in a lot of ways, we have disappeared our national narrative altogether. we don't really want to think about our fans and -- our founders and slavery, we don't want to think about the broadest of the genocide o

the american people agree that washington is broken. president trump campaigned on draining the swamp. the swamp is not drained. i been here a long time. things are more the same than they are not. it seems like people are getting meaner. whether or not there needs to be an independent party, i know adding mcmullen and others have thrown this out there. it is difficult, because the parties are so entrenched. even if you got an independent elected, talk to members of congress like bernie sanders. there is so few of them. it is difficult to raise money, get support. once you get into office, you have a caucus with the democrats and republicans to get something done. i don't think it is viable at the moment. they could become so. i do not want to be president but thank you. host: independent line, baltimore, maryland. caller: how are you doing? guest: how are you? caller: i'm good. you spoke on what i wanted to ask. you mentioned rand paul and the libertarian party. my question is, do you think we as black people need to look at the libert

carnage, american crisis. that i am the voice for the forgotten americans. he used that language and ideas. i do think that some of trump's populist appeals primarily to white voters, i think there are real echoes in the wallace 1968 effort. host: wallace was the governor of alabama in 1968. in the summer of that year he appeared on "face the nation." [video clip] >> you were quoted once as the way to stop a ride was to hit the people on the head? >> when someone begins to loot and burn's a building down that endangers the health and safety of everyone, that is a good way to solve it. if you let the police hit someone in the head of someone who was assaulting a policeman, assaulting a person on the street, throwing a firebomb, it would get mighty light if someone was hitting them in the head. if i was the president of the united states i would take whatever was necessary to prevent what happened in this city if we had the order to knock it in the head of many people. when you do that, you will satisfy the over

is to confront the fact that millions of americans or at least many thousands of white americans love tim. every american knows that they stared down vicious racism. by 1968 they have come down. african-americans were exercising the vote. yet the hatred for king persisted. that is something i have not fully realized before i started the research for this book i think. and the white suit celebrated king's death. they were not all just the strong thurman type i poured through letters that were written from people in chicago in the bronx and michigan and boston. who are rejoicing indeed at his assassination. it also was not a matter of young versus old. it wasn't that the old generation hated king i poured through essays. in the memphis area high school who are basically absorbed all of this vitriol and were repeating it. and were saying that the ss and it was a great patriot and so on. he is so canonized today. he is revered and exalted. north and south. by black and white. i think it can still really startled and stunned us. even in a time like ours where racial hatred has bubbled fear

for italian americans. wherever you turn in san francisco you see something that remind that san francisco is full of italian examples like supervisor stefani told us from fisherman wharfes where a lot of fisherman were working. there was the founder of bank of america and the first one who gave money to the poor italian immigrants here to give credit to them. in fact, the bank was in italy first. let's not forget that. please don't discriminate us for being italians and give us a day to celebrate our roots because we are proud of our roots and our history. thank you very much. >> first of all, thank you supervisor stefani and to the other supervisors for the consideration of this ordnance. you're going to hear a lot of good things here. it's a wonderful ordnance. i hope that the rest of the country takes this formula and starts to apply it to other places so we start having a -- instead of a devicive situation the but where people are coming together. thank you again. >> i'm going to try to do this with a

that means more money for americans now and more money for americans for their future. mr. president, tax day may never be a fun day, but americans can take heart because thanks to the tax cuts and jobs act, next year's tax day is going to be a lot less painful. mr. president, i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from pennsylvania. mr. toomey: mr. president, i rise this afternoon to address the c.r.a. that we voted to proceed to and which we will vote on final passage tomorrow. it is a congressional review act that will allow us to repeal an ill-conceived cfpb regulation. let me start with just a word about the cfpb, because this is an agency that is fundamentally flawed in its design. it has been from day one. first, it's the single individual director -- there's no bipartisan board, no need for consensus. there's one man rules. this one individual can only be removed for cause. he's part of the executive branch, but the chief executive can't fire him. this makes no sense. and finally, the entire cfpb, this huge regulatory agency,

he was mexican american.e was presented to the public as the spanish catcher because becauserovidence club, to present him as an actual mexican american identity. to make him spanish, that is acceptable because he is european. those are the kinds of stories that we can learn about how race categories were being used and manipulated to place latinos. one last example, he is latino, actually not latino, but he explains the story of latinos in baseball. one of the best african-american players suffered exclusion in told860's and 1880's, "sporting life" magazine, had i not been so dark, i might have passed as a spaniard at that time. here you have an african-american who understands how baseball is being manipulated in the u.s. it is not just the dominicans who just arrived or the cubans who defected. they are all connected to a longer story. susan: what is life like for latino baseball players today? adrian: many of them are still going through that experience, because coming out of the dominican republic, comin

in cradle to grave, people of color, native americans and first generation americans are sicker, receive lescare, have less access to care and tragically die sooner. in 2010 we took a major leap forward with passage of the affordable care act this law started to reduce these disparities by increasing access to care, ensuring meantal health care, and creating a pipeline of doctors an medical professionals from underrepresented communs. a major result of the a.c.a. has been to cut the excessive risk of cancer death in half for african-american men. the same risk factor for black women was reduced by zen points, according to the american cancer society's 2017 report. they clearly state, increasing access to care as a result of the patient protection and affordable care act may contribute to a further narrowing of the racial gap across all population groups. however, the a.c.a. is not just fighting cancer. it's improving other aspects of care and increasing access to care. while the affordable care act has made major strides, disparities remain deeply entrenched in our society and our health

tax season is a stressful time for millions of americans and the compliance burden on the average american and small business owner is unnecessarily difficult. we are taking important steps today to make the tax filing experience more sensible, fairer, and more efficient. the base text of this bill includes a text of a bill that i introduced with our republican colleague, jason smith, the preserving taxpayers' rights act. our provisions as a part of this bill will introduce process reforms in four ways to help the internal revenue service become more efficient and strengthen its ability to provide services to its customers. first, our provisions would give taxpayers a legal right to have their case heard by the independent and impartial i.r.s. office of appeals to ensure the timely, efficient, and cost-effective resolution of any tax disputes between taxpayers and the i.r.s. secondly, it will ensure that cases that the i.r.s. designates for litigation can only be used where the matter involves tax abuse that affects a large number of taxpayers. thirdly, the provision in our bill that is in

and disabled americans. now, the same week that the congressional budget office predicts this republican majority and their tax scam bill will lead to the return of trillion-dollar deficits, we will consider a balanced budget amendment that's been subject to no hearings and no markups. even for this record breaking closed republican congress to attempt to amend our constitution for only the 28th -- only 20th time in our nation's history in this manner quite frankly is stunning. so mr. speaker, i'm going to ask my colleagues vote no on the previous question. and if we defeat the previous question i will offer an amendment to the rule which uld amend the bill to exempt social security, medicare, and medicaid, vital pillars of our social safety net. i'll just say to my republican friends on the other side of the aisle, you know, who go home to their constituents and regularly talk about how great social security is and how great medicare is and how important medicaid is, if you really believe it, you're going t

had been freed but no african-american virtually no african-american certainly in the south had not known generations of slavery so at some level we are fighting the same battles that we've been fighting before and it's not because we're failing now it's just because of the prevalence of the of the both the discrimination and i think the dehumanisation of african-americans so when african-americans now are talking about economic equality of course we're talking about equality of opportunity and when we're talking about equality of opportunity that means a number of things giving us access to the educational resources the financial resources the ability to apply fairly for jobs the ability to to keep jobs without discrimination and it's actually very hard i think in this society that has really been built on the subjugation of african-american people and society is now reckoning with that problem to get short term gains in economic advancement when we're really dealing with such a hard problem having said that a number of african-american people men women have really moved into the m

iran has killed americans in iraq. its proxies seek to harm our citizens and our interests around the world. but let me be clear. the united states has no quarrel with the iranian people. this legislation seeks to protect the human rights of the iranian people and americans who are unfairly detained in iran. this bill signifies and signals our solidarity with the protesters and demonstrators to iran's rulers, any action that violates the human rights of americans will be met with severe consequences. the gentleman from texas, mr. mr. poe just mentioned the 1988 massacre, that was horrendous and there were many, many more. this brutal regime has blood on its hand and -- on its hands and it's important for the united states to call them out. i urge my colleagues to support this bill this bipartisan bill, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back his time. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. royce: in closing, i would again like to thank my colleague, chairman

money better than the american people themselves. my friend, the democratic leader, said so right here on the floor a few weeks ago. this is exactly what he said. there are much better uses for the money. really? on average, a family of four earning the median income will save about $2,000 on their taxes. i don't think a middle-class family will have difficulty finding good ways to use $2,000. they certain will i don't need a bureaucrat to do it for them. maybe they need a new washer and dryer or refrigerator. maybe it will help them make a down payment on a second car. maybe they'll use it to keep up with rising health costs, since obamacare has utterly failed to keep costs down for american families. whatever they choose, i'm glad the republican tax reform is letting hardworking parents keep more of their own money. but my democratic colleagues obviously disagree. they're rail laying to take back -- to take back -- that family's money so they can spend it themselves. they're so out of touch that they scoff at a $2,000 tax cut, $1,0

i believe in american ingenuity, american enterprise, american leadership. i believe america must lead the world in solutions to this generational challenge. but how can we expect mr. pompeo to lead the department of state in bringing greater peace, security, and prosperity to the american people through international engagement if he does not believe in u.s. leadership? he does not believe that the united states is necessary for solving global problems, especially global warming. mr. pompeo has too much to apologize for, too many statements to retract or explain, too many controversial positions to defend. and of most concern are mr. pompeo's past statements suggesting that he values military force over diplomacy even when diplomacy is a real option. while negotiations with iran over its nuclear program were underway, he argued that military strikes on iran were prefrpbable -- preferable to diplomacy and that, quote, it is under 2,000 sorties to destroy the iranian nuclear capacity. this is not an insurmountable cask for the coalition forces. just a few wee
