these were consisting campaigns the african-american community fought for. they fought to have african-americans included at west point and at the naval academy. naval academy took great pride in the fact that they forcibly pushed out all of the black people who attempted to graduate. there were only three black graduates who made it out of west point. and having henry plummer as well as getting charles young promoted and eventually having been davis be promoted to being the first general. all of these things are part of a long progression of activism within the african american community to push for a consistent promotion of black soldiers and officers in the military. ok. going forward, when thinking about these questions and this legacy that is important to remember and pay respect that the legacies built upon the foundation of people who were so strong that no matter the odds, they would not be defeated. you all know about the civil rights movement. however, what we will examine today is the idea of incorporating this campaign for african-american militar

i have tried to work in coalition with the asian-american community and african-american community to take on this issue. i worked with karen bass, who at the time was the head of the national black congress -- caucus and -- to request the committee do a hearing on these issues. that was done in november 2020. -- have taken on some of these media issues. we worked well together in the past. >> there is a fine line between censorship and government control. -- does report big brothers first step towards deciding what is appropriate? rep. castro: no. it is a plea to stop characterizing latinos as criminals, convex, so forth. we are not telling you -- i am not trying to tell people how many higher -- how many people to hire, which stories to run. when an entire industry runs what is the equivalent of a negative political ad for decades over time, to me, -- hard news has had the same problem. a lot of their framing. they suffer from the same problem. let me give you some numbers and what are considered the newspapers of record in the country. i have been talking about hollywood. this is a

was not something that happened in isolation, these were persistent campaigns at the african american communityfought for. they fought to have african americans at federal institutions and -- forcibly pushed out all the black -- that i'm to graduate from indianapolis. so there were only three black graduates who made it out. and then, having henry plummer as well as getting -- promoted and eventually having henry van davis promoted to being the first general, all of these things are a part of a long tradition of activism and in the community to push for consistent promotion of black soldiers and officers in the military. okay. going forward, when thinking about these questions and thinking about this legacy that is being defined, it is important to remember, and to pay respect to the legacy is built upon the foundation of the people who are so strong, and despite the odds they would not be defeated. you all know about the civil rights movement, whenever we examine today that the idea of incorporating this campaign for military service into the discussion of civil rights movement. so, african am

. >> reporter: instantly she became the champion for the asian american community. it feel like to suddenly become a hollywood star? >> it felt like a privilege. to be able to bring up these matters of representation for asian americans. but it felt a little scary because i felt like there's people who are so better equipped than i was to talk about it. people that have studied it in college. you know, there's a little bit of guilt about that. but -- >> you felt like an imposter this. >> well, i was. it wasn't imposter syndrome where you actually -- no, i was, i did not know. >> reporter: in 2019, just months before the release of her blockbuster "hustlers" with jennifer lopez, wu's popularity cratered after tweeting that she was, quote, so upset right now that i'm literally crying. because "fresh off the boat" had been renewed for a sixth season. >> it came out sounding pretty bad. my tweets were really graceless. and the most painful thing of all, it was really the asian american community that either ostracized or avoided me the most around that topic. >> what ha

communities now love those places. so there's a possession if there. it's like taking possession of native american history and a transformation into a georgia heritage, like southern community heritage. i think there is a clear attempt to identify with a group of people who previous generations of georgia leaders and georgia citizens have worked hard to dispossess and destroy. >> you talk and just mentioned that one of the reasons that whites are able to embrace the narrative of commemoration is because natives are no longer here. they see them as gone. how does that or did the question of reparations enter into this here? or is it because it does not seem to, or if it does, correct me and explain to our audience where it does, because what we hear for the most part is a controversial subject of reparations is does the u.s. now of some kind of reparation to its former enslaved people. what you see -- i never owned slaves. no one's ever been enslaved for 50 years. we will not talk about reparations, but there are obviously descendants of cherokee people who lost their land living right here in geor

culture at least in part as a way of like reckoning with with american places with with turning those places into homes for settler communities and they're able to do this in part and way that that doesn't spark controversy because precisely because there's this assumption that native americans are gone for his course aren't gone. i mean, they're cherokee people and turkey descendants and george all through this time. there's the eastern band and turkey communities here in western, north carolina, but a lot of the culture starts with this assumption that native americans are gone as far as racist concerned in the south. that's this by racial landscape, right? it's a black white landscape as opposed to something more complex. because you have this assumption of native american disappearance, it's it's permissible for settler communities to commemorate and an even sort of you know quasi apologize for something like removal and in doing so these are these are rituals that help i think set their communities to become more at home these former indigenous homelands. and so one of the most surprising things in my research was just t

the chinese-american community, academia and state and local governments. and our foreign partners around the world. today, every one of those partners is awake and alert to the threat in a way that was not always true five years ago. our success of bringing more and more partners to this fight highlights something else important. beijing may think our adherence to the rule of law is a weakness but they are wrong. we are disrupting chinese government criminality and aggression not just while adhering to our values but by adhering to our values. our democratic and legal processes arm us with weapons china does not have. among others, we'll partners and allies. our partnerships help protect american people every day. today's cases are no different. we could not have accomplished this work without our foreign partners and the u.s. academic community in particular. one reason we have had so much success bringing partners to this fight against the chinese governments aggression is they see through beijing's hypocrisy. for example, they see the type of ccp hypocr

strong native american communities are strong american communities. i look forward to learning about your work and what you have found, and i thank you again for your willingness to ask difficult questions in order to protect children. >> i thank you for this opportunity to be here this morning and we welcome the opportunity to clarify anything or answer any questions about what we saw on the ground. thank you. >> thank you, all, very much, for your work that you are doing. and i'm so impressed by how thoughtful you have been with your reports. and i know that this work will help to keep children safe. i'm so glad that you have taken the time to work hand in hand with tribal leaders during this process and to listen to their input. >> first ladies in their own words continues now on american history tv. president trump's border policies were among the most controversial of his administration so. the first ladies 2018 visit to a texas shelter for migrant children was newsworthy. she was accompanied there by health and human health and human services se

reporter: in the leadup to this year's midterms the republican national committee opened asian american community outreach centers in california, washington state, nevada, georgia and texas. >> we're looking at these areas where there are a lot of asian american voters, different asian american communities. and this investment is a considerable one. >> reporter: harmit dillon is a member of the republican national committee and coordinates grassroots outreach. >> i think what's really important is we start these efforts and continue them year-round. >> reporter: while asian americans have historically trended democratic, republicans now see an opportunity to make inroads. what does this all say about the asian american community? >> there is a lot of beauty, and it's time i think for people to start asking questions and be curious about our diversity, be curious about the languages that we speak and the cultures that we carry with us. it's about creating a multiracial democracy. >>> for decades now the carter center, founded by former president jimmy carter and his wife, has been monitoring elect

comes together, the resiliency of the community in the face of a lot of these neglect from law enforcement. especially with the challenges we are talking asian americanshe community itself. he also said, something i want to make sure that we get to. it's the rhetoric that has haunted us. and even as we are sitting here this weekend, the former president trump was making anti jewish comments. we have seen the results of those antisemitic results. we have seen with a hate filled rhetoric has rendered. i mean, were you able to track a corollary between that rhetoric and the rise and crime that you saw in the community? >> we stop aapi, it has a new study out that found the perpetrators who attack asian americans, these incidents often repeat the language of politicians have said. it's blaming for the covid virus. when we channel 4 the economic national security concerns. absolutely, words matter. if consequences. we have seen the consequences of calling covid the china virus and calling it kung flu. that is a lot of dangerous situations. part of what i found -- >> there is a contemporary moment that we find ourselves in. it has built upon a legacy of rac

reporter suzanne vaughn had discusses what this means to the local asian american community. >> she isoneer. >> at the age of 17 she landed her first lead role -- in 1922. 100 years later she is the first asian american to your on u.s. orders. >> it's an inspiration to see her on the quarter. >> -- we spoke with the chinese cultural center in sf town area >> it is amazing to see her celebrated in this way. >> she sell -- she had so many challenges and still went on to fame. >> the 1920 she was starring in american films which was remarkable -- >> -- this is a nonprofit group that presents stories by and about asian americans. >> asian americans and other communities of color were left out of the equation in the past. tug of as a requement >> sheaged t succeedt them in yo despite the challenges. to know she would be featured on order. -- quarter. >> this is an achievement for the asian american community. i'm thinking of taking a $100 bill going in and buying corridors so i can hand them out all over town this is a wonderful day. >> i've probably seen it 30 or 40 times. >> retired polic

so, i think the african-american community and the native american community collectively can not only share stories of the effects of colonialism, but what we are doing today to revive our identity and address racism and colonialism that still exists in public policy. we cannot deny that it is still going on. and therefore, we can't work collectively to change thinking and institutions and the decades to come and try to overcome what has happened in the past. it's an ongoing effort. >> thank you. and our final two questions, if you don't mind. the following. the first one from rosemary. would you speak a little bit about the reformation and process of lenape languages? what do you feel are the prospects for those languages to become live languages that are spoken daily currently and communities? and the last question comes from -- who is asking, what books on lenape history would you recommend? >> well, i can address that last question, regarding what books. there is a lot of information available, not all of it accurate or can be recommended. but what i do recommend for everyone in t

this kind of, you know, launch and it was by 1912, the fourth largest community in the united states governed by african-americans, which is remarkable. and that's what drew, you know, zora neale hurston and booker t washington and these people to the community. so that ascendance continued up through the 1950s and sixties where we see africa town has grown from the 30 original people to 12,000 people and it sits about two miles from downtown mobile, but it had grocery stores, pharmacies, movie theaters, restaurants, everything a thriving community would have multiple churches, and then the state of alabama and the city of mobile started the destruction of africa town, which involved heavy industry and probably one of the most important blows was the creation of a road right through the heart of africa, down to get hazardous waste off of interstate ten, going through downtown mobile. and they put it through the heart of africa town. and so when they built the road, which you can go drive on today, it was a two lane road. it's now a six lane highway. and they this is almost hard to believe. but in 1992, they destr

but of course, the asian american community, we don't have one symbol or multiple symbols that reallyagainst asian americans. >> so, where does that leave law enforcement? >> i think law enforcement has a lot of work to do in terms of how they can respond to, not just the asian american community, but all marginalized communities. you, know i heard earlier in the segment, you talked about how to build community. i think one of the things about this film is looking at how does the community come together in the face of a lot of this neglect of law enforcement? >> this was one of the challenges you are talking about. the huge socioeconomic strata that exist within the community itself. that is a part of this conversation. you have also said something else, which is the rhetoric that has haunted us. i mean, even as we are sitting here this weekend, the former president trump was on truth social, making anti jewish comments. and we have seen the results of those antisemitic comments. and for those of us in the latino community, we have seen what that hate filled rhetoric has rendered. wer

community. black americans, over 50 are bearing the most front. it is not even one age group.hat is very important. that is one of the things we are looking at because the other side is also not good news. when you look at the treatment data, black americans and brown americans seem to seek treatment much more delayed in a timeline for addiction than others. it is a double whammy and that is why it has been important for us to not only expand harm reduction but also addiction treatment so we can get the same opportunity in an equitable manner. jonathan: that delay in treatment among african-americans, is that because they themselves delay getting treatment? for is that a question of access to treatment and not having access to treatment in a timely manner? dr. gupta: great question. both and so many other factors. first is a stigma. stigma is so important because it pervades through individuals, communities, neighborhoods, and the health care system. stigma for a black and brown communities presents individuals from seeking care but also the health care systems engaging indivi

sort of this mentality that having a gun makes you more and you know, particularly in african-american communitiesin particular after george floyd's death membership in like gun clubs and things like that, like way up in the black community. and i can know, can understand that feeling. but you if you look at statistics and you know sure everyone has heard this that having a gun makes less likely, you know, less safe and not more and. i and i particularly believe this, which are i believe that if he had never messed around with guns, if he never a gun, he would still be alive today. you know, as you'll see in the book, it was it was his own aggression. and that sort of precipitated his own death, you know, involving handguns. so that is my long answer. the gentleman the back. so what congratulations on the book, by the way, what what in the book like gives hope what in the book gives me have. oh rough question rough question. i think you know to me the book the main theme of the book is poverty and daryl's family has had generations of poverty and it's been exacerbated by drug abuse know mental hea

community. host: what's another example of a position alignment with the african-americans? guest: policing, i think we all want to see safe policing. where are communities are not unfairly targeted or racially profiled. we have both been shown to be disproportionately subjected to the search and seizures for example. without due cause and to more by police. those reforms are really important for both communities. the area of voting, both communities continue to strengthen, certainly the black community has been at this for a long time. making sure the the path to the voting booth is open and accessible. i can name a series of areas where latinos have worked with the urban league, naacp on education initiatives and economic and health initiatives as well. host: this is joel, a republican. caller: ok thank you. we have a vice president that went to korea to visit their border but will not visit our southern border here in the usa. 55 years ago i returned from overseas with my bride and i had to jump through hoops to return her here. i even had to sign paperwork that she would

and for so long the african-american community and our smell small city, they're not reach out to them in the way that we should. only, it will is an understanding we can build trust sometimes it can be hard and to building that has been a name of someone it stands for everything the you stand against. and so, we want to be a partner and move forward with that and having said that, we also are doing on our site. [background sounds]. one of the things that people do not know, that they went in to the home with the individuals and that is a story that we think needs to be told. we are doing our research and trying to find names of the individuals are in through the partnership at james madison university in the department we found that we have on our site, what looks to be quarters that would've helped individuals well before this was born. [inaudible]. and that is where we have a moral obligation to tell to these individuals. and those that believe this as a country and the need to do all we can to tell the story there and so is just one of the things that we are doing here the presiden
