and i have both at different times lived in atlanta west and historic neighborhood which despite being classified as a food desert is the most dense part of the city with urban gardens serving gardens do so much more than provide food for our communities but there are also a space for cultural development engagement voter engagement our neighborhood also supports a thriving farmer's market actually several thriving farmer's market driving farmers markets also our spaces for community development outside of just ok how do we feed people how do. we feed people's hearts how we feel people's minds how do we see people's communities. you know another part of that is you think about connectivity being the issue when people are separated from a healthy food system because the food system is not just the food is not just the people it's how are we moving people to food it within the system how are we making that sustainable and so the poetry of the obviously is like the number one thing on my list when we talk about connecting people to fresh out of the food system when you break the space in

atlanta, vicksburg in the western theater. generalr two may be in about the atlanta campaign for people who may not have that much familiarity with it. it is a major, long campaign. under0 union troops william p sherman. divided into three armies. they were pitted against the confederate army of tennessee, led by joseph johnson until july 18 when he was replaced by john bell hood. the campaign began near dalton, georgia. there were nine or 10 major battles along the way until atlanta fell on september 2, 1864. sherman drove 100 miles into confederate territory. a campaign of that length and size is unusual. history of operations was affected by many factors, however i look at one factor. that when i did my trilogy on fortifications, it became clear to me that it is very dangerous to look at the history of field fortification without understanding typography as well as tactics. that is why the subtitle is tactics, terrain, and trenches the civil war. you have to add soldier life. to me, that is one of the more fascinating aspec

one of the ways to do this is out of all plants and trees which is why atlanta received a grant from the community forest an open space program to establish the city's 1st and nation's largest urban food forest to be named the urban food forest the browns mill on a $7.00 acre site the food forest will be one of more than 70 public food forests across the united states it will include not and fruit trees herbs fruits and vegetables and even areas to grow mushrooms however food forests and projects like them are more than experiments in nutrition they offer hope for a future in which food is democratise for all joining us now from atlanta is tasered troutman community organizer and urban development researcher and even dickerson atlanta area community organizer joining us today to help us understand this thank you so much ladies for joining us. hey thank you for having us so i want to start and then you know as of 201736 percent this is devastating to hear 36 percent of atlanta was classified as a food desert making it just one of many across the united states in fact in 2006 the u.s.d

is tasered troutman community organizer and urban development researcher and even dickerson atlanta area community organizer joining us today to help us understand this thank you so much ladies for joining us. hey thank you for having us so i want to start and ask you know as of 201736 percent this is devastating the 36 percent of atlanta was classified as a food desert making it just one of many across the united states in fact in 2006 the u.s.d.a. had located 6500 food desert tracks across the united states i want to start by asking how these how these food forests benefit communities beyond the idea of just free healthy food. well i want to start by moving away from the language of food deserts in the ultra movement we acknowledge that food doesn't doesn't necessarily capture the ways that black and brown and working class communities have been intentionally underdeveloped to the point where they can't access culturally competent and healthy nutritious foods lately myself tasia and other organizers in the food movement have moved closer to language like food. died oeuvre food war

in the atlanta, georgia.nce bottoms, thank you, mayor bottoms, for coming on. >> thank you reverend al and happy early father's day to you. >> thank you, and your father was a great artist as entertained many of us through the years. but that's another segment, another day. why are you closing the jail? what reform, criminal justice reform do you think could resonate nationally from your example? >> thank you for mentioning my father, my father was an entertainer by the name of major lance, a lot of people know him for his great hits, but there's another part to my dad's story that many people didn't know until i ran for mayor. and that is that my father was sentenced to ten years in prison for selling cocaine. and there were layers of issues there. you know, with as with so many of our families in our communities, sometimes they're good people who simply make bad decisions. and so i took that experience with me into office, into the office of mayor. and really began to think on how we could change the outcom

i have here with me robin donaldson, a resident of atlanta. from what you heard today, do you have any more confidence that the democrats are focused onern earthizing black voters? >> absolutely. senator booker talked about the importance of a 50-state strategy and people are showing up and investing on what is happening on the ground so i was definitely inspired and impressed by what they had to say this morning. >> reporter: what about the idea that cory booker said to fight donald trump you have to stand for something and does that resonate for you and is there a need to fight donald trump. >> you have to have a backbone but at the same time it is important to focus on what you do want and vote for and organize around the future of what you do want. because it is so important that we look at issues around mass incarceration, that is one thing that senator booker did talk about. it is the moral issue of our time as well as voter protection and just making sure that all of the citizens, we all have an equal opportunity at this american dream.

and notification of atlanta p.d.nforcement, so what do you anticipate might start happening as early as tomorrow in the city? >> well, we actually would at least expect that we would be given a heads-up because it puts our officers in danger if we don't know that these raids are happening in our city, and we don't coordinate with i.c.e. in terms of asking about immigration status, et cetera, but if you have agents going into homes in the middle of the night, which is planned with this raid, and you've not even given local law enforcement the courtesy of notifying us that it's coming, you're putting our officers in danger. what happens when we start -- >> do you anticipate that people would call 911, say something's going on, you know, please come, help, et cetera, and then that puts your law enforcement you're saying, you know, in peril, in danger. >> we don't know what we're responding to because you've not given us the courtesy of a notification. we also have to anticipate that when you have something of this magni

at the hearing, we had the editor-in-chief of "the atlanta journal-constitution" make this point.er: let's listen to him right now. we have more people reading "the atlanta journal-constitution" then at any other point in our history. the challenge is simple. world do youof grow your audience, reach a bigger market, and somehow face even greater financial challenges than you did before? some thing iout of whack in that equation and it is just counterintuitive to how american business works. peter: what is your response to the editor of the hac? relation to the news content i was referring to earlier with 10 billion or more users, we know publishers websites in large part due to traffic from internet services is up something on the order of 40%. but the internet has globalized the advertising market, so the advertising that is appearing on those news publishers websites are also competing for users' attention for social media, for blogs, for podcasts, citizen journalism as well as lots of other content that isn't actually news but entertainment content. news publishers aren't just

thank you to the people of atlanta. for me, it's a very personal issue when it comes to gun violence. i first just want to say my heart breaks, as i know all of yours does for the victims in virginia. when you look at those pictures, right? black, white, young, old, it looks like america. for me it's personal because i worked as a prosecutor in oakland, and i saw shootings in the streets. from a father who is sending my son to school for his first day tomorrow at preschool. my wife and i worry about whether he's going to come home. but also, i went to congress when sandy hook happened. that was my coming to congress moment. and i just happened to believe we love our kids more than we love our guns. and that we can do something. >> we do want to stay on the issue of guns. a lot of folks in the audience have been very interested in this. jason poe has a question on that. he works as an environmental specialist. jason? >> hello. how is it going? good evening. happy to be here participating in some democracy tonight. my que

made atlanta the that it is. so atlanta is a major hub and mecca for black life. it has $34 billion of revenue .enerated black businesses thrive in the city of atlanta. their intent to take over atlanta airport has nothing to do with corruption. it is about getting their filthy on $34n $34 million -- billion. it is about dismantling the black middle class. wishssemblyman barron, i i could say what was happening in new york is happening in atlanta. but the white population in new york is increasing. the black -- the white population in atlanta is increasing. the black population in atlanta is decreasing. i will say again, nothing changes without pressure. black folk have got to fight some, and i think protecting our race is worth fighting for. believer that we have got to apply heat, but let me also say i'm a firm believer you have to also provide light. there are folk who do not want our people to see what is happening to us, and that is why it is important for black leadership that we have black leadership that

the moment he lived the torch in atlanta was an iconic moment. janet evans gives him the torch. him withmerica watched a whole bunch of different emotions going on. you of it is guilt, that got so much enjoyment from the so -- from this guy, he was interesting with the way he acted and the thoughts he made you think. you kind of led him to this in a way because you cheered him on as a boxer. i think there was some guilt and definite devotion. wasn'tainly -- while he part of the antiwar movement per se and not part of the civil rights movement per se, he certainly got a lot of people talking about that stuff. people kind of used him as a to stand up ton, the government, to go for your rights. what hisd, that is image was. research, did you ever come across anything on joe frazier being in the service or having served? >> joe frazier had a lot of kids real early. that kind of kept him out. was always very patriotic. five or six days after the fight ali, hewhere he beat was in the white house with nixon. before the fight, ali said joe frazier will be there with nixon, nixon won't h

and thank you all so much for having me here to atlanta tonight. you know, it's almost embarrassing to be standing here as a member of congress, given how little we've done about gun violence in america. i carried guns in iraq every single day, too. i had to use guns for my job. guns saved my life. but weapons of war have no place on our streets or in our schools. and whether it's declaring a national emergency or pursuing executive action, i will do whatever i can to actually make progress on this gun violence plague in america. . [ applause ] >> and what we're talking about here, folks, isn't that crazy. the vast majority of americans, democrats, republicans, independents, agree we should have universal background checks on guns, there shouldn't be loopholes. i had the two most bipartisan gun bills in the last congress. one to to ban gun stocks, the nra baned from their own headquarters. and the second was, be prepared, this is a little controversy. was to prevent terrorists from buying guns. okay. this isn't that crazy. and we've even already ba

the kidnapping scare in atlanta. police say a woman trying to kidnap two children at hartsfie hartsfield-jackson airport. here's abc's david kerley. >> reporter: even before going through security for a trip to disney world, this family fends off an alleged kidnapping. this is surveillance video at atlanta's airport, as a 26-year-old woman approaching a family, tries to grab one child and when that doesn't work, a second child. watch closely. you can see the woman try to grab the stroller. but when the mother fights her off, the suspect moves to the second child, when the father steps in. moments later, police officers arrive and it took some time for three officers to subdue the kansas woman. police talked to her station in atlanta, wsb. >> it was before they even had to go through security or anything, so, all that was open to the public. >> reporter: once the suspect was take into custody, police charging her with kidnapping and obstructing an officer. after the saturday incident, the officer who interviewed the s

bryant was the editor from the atlanta journal. he was credited with being the first news man to report on the d-day invasion on june 6. he beat more than 600 reporters on the one of the biggest stories of the century. there -- as an old newspaperman myself, i can only imagine the pain of the 600. tim: a couple of choice words. he received the presidential medal of freedom, the highest civilian award from the dwight d. eisenhower for services as a war correspondent. we're fortunate to have his daughter here with us tonight. thank you for joining us. where are you?

i'm kevin riley, the editor of the atlanta journal constitution. a few years ago journalists established that 80 doctors in georgia had sexually abused patients including patients under anthesia and those doctors were still licensed. the newspaper investigated and found a nationwide problem. hundreds of doctors were abusing patients and getting away with it. the investigation prompted reforms. it was a finalist for the pulitzer prize. of equal importance, readers of that investigation told us that's what they want from their newspaper, that kind of coverage. the victims of those doctors called our reporters and thanked them for telling their stories. about a year before that story, dozens of educators in the atlanta public schools had been found guilty of altering students' standardized test scores in the largest cheating scandal in the nation's history. the convictions cull miinated a years long journalistic effort by the atlanta journal constitution. reporters had noticed that students' scores on georgia's standardized tests showed extraordinary

they'll do the same in north carolina, virginia, that's all from this one center in atlanta. next month they're rolling out a second omni channel customer experience in kansas city and decided -- they're deciding on a third location for later in the year, by the end of the current fiscal year it's on track to get it to a majority of their customers. now the digital business could turn out to be more efficient than the that diggal business model true with everyone else. why shouldn't it be true with used cars. it will be expensive but based on the results we've seen so far worth every penny. i'm betting it can do anything that carvana can do. they don't need to build out big used car vending machines because they have more than 200 showrooms nationwide the macro is really in carmax's sights again really in their favor. remember how the stock got clobbered in the fourth quarter when interest rates were rising. now, long-term rates have come down hard. and the fed is likely to cut short rates. both of which allow people to get cheaper financing and do not forget the tariffs, peo

it is so fitting here in atlanta tom perez, the chair of the dnc came to atlanta and offered a formal apology to black voters saying the democrats have taken you for granted. they are here today to remind folks that they stand with black voters. let's hear a few voters and what they have to say about what is resonating most. >> voter suppression is an issue near and dear to my heart. how are we going to instill in them that everything else that these candidates are speaking about holds any weight. >> reporter: obviously, there are so many issues that effect the black community in particular. as that young man mentioned, just protecting the vote, period, attacking voter suppression efforts is critical. here we saw allegations of some funny business. florida talked about tinkering with the mechanics to make sure more folks are registered. i want to pull in the chair of the dnc here in georgia. the dnc is here in georgia to make a show and tell black voters we stachnd with you. what more could the dnc do? >> our voters are excited here in georgia. we just came off of the 2018 election wi

the tip came from john tabor, an atlanta businessman.e was watching the continuing news coverage of missing meredith during his morning workout. >> when they started giving the description of the person of interest, my ears really perked up. i think i just turned white at one point. i felt the blood leave my face. >> tabor, the businessman thought, that has to be gary hilton. hilton worked on and off fors him for years, first as a telemarketer and then independent contractor. he even lived for a while in this house taibor owned. what was the thought that's taking shape? >> the first thing that got my attention is where the event happened, where she went missing, blood mountain. i knew that was a place he liked to hang out, that he had a dog with him. and most importantly was the evidence that they had found at the scene. i knew hilton always had an expandible police baton with him. >> the tip and a name quickly led to a georgia driver's license for 61-year-old gary michael hilton. investigators showed the photo to hikers who i.d.'d him a

the general public sees atlanta as the beginning of the end of the war. what they foresee is what is left is just a mop up operation. in some ways that is validated by sheridan's move through the later sherman's march across georgia. that is what the northern public thinks a mop up operation looks like. this is where the democrats completely lose it. here is george mcclellan, the democratic nominee. he is trying to explain away this platform and this particular plank, which is so problematic. he cannot. there is nothing he can do to unleash himself from this albatross that landingham and the other copperheads have given him. so lincoln wins. that decides the way the war is going to end. the war is going to end with unconditional surrender. they will not be this cessation of hostilities, and the war is going to end with emancipation intact. that is not going away either. win is a landslide. really, if you want to talk about an election that is a referendum on the policies of the sitting president, this is here.t a right americans believe in lincoln now. th

vicksburg, new orleans, atlanta. dr. gallagher: yep. those were all in the west! >> [inaudible] without those, lincoln was reelected. those were the major battles. dr. gallagher: the importance of the west, while you have a stalemate in the east, when the army of the potomac of the army of northern virginia, the world is going to hell out west, and it is from the very beginning of the war. i mean, vicksburg looms large during the war. i never quite understood why it looms so large, because the key to the mississippi river is holding new orleans, and that is gone in april of 1862. so, the mississippi ceases to be a confederate river one year into the war. one year into the war. that is a huge victory for the united states. what retrieved the situation for lincoln in 1864, you got half of it, is atlanta is half of it and because americans then, now have short memories, the shenandoah valley coming closer to the election, also played a key role there. i do not pretend that things in the west are not important. my argument is that the east looms larger and that people

first break of my life was coming to this country, the second i went to my public high school in atlanta, georgia, getting to go to yale university and from there, at yale i was extremely moved by the war in bosnia and the atrocities, men being imprisoned in concentration camps 6 years after the holocaust, i read and frank at night and it meant something so i went to bosnia to become a freelance foreign correspondent which in retrospect if my kids tried to do what i would forbid it but my mother put her own fears for my safety aside and got me on the plane and i covered that war for three years as a journalist ultimately writing for the economist and washington post, an amazing publication but all i saw around me was american planes flying overhead and the killing continuing and people continue to be targeted because they were muslims or whatever. so i left journalism thinking i want to be in a position where i am reading someone's dispatches from an environment like this one and i went to law school. when you don't know what you want to with your life. i wanted to put in some context so

mike joins us from atlanta. susan back with me.t with you, i think this is an interesting moment for biden. there was a lot of debate yesterday when biden made that initial statement about the hyde amendment and saying he supported it. was this an intentional signal on his part trying to get away from maybe the core democratic base, declaration of independence if you will, the democratic interest groups or was this him stumbling into an answer where he didn't appreciate what the political fallout would be in your party? >> what's your sense 24 hours later. >> my sense is that this is not about him sending any signal where he wants to position himself this is about heidi bringing to their attention a flub of the votes. answering directly an important question about this issue of abortion. this is an interesting milestone in this campaign. joe biden has been in this election campaign for a little over a month. this is the first time joe biden will be appearing on stage with another candidate. in beto o'rourke. they're going to be sep
