atlanta is not a place of any importance until the confederacy brings bridges, atlanta to richmond to feed the confederacy. and then you see a south all the way to texas. you start to see this convergence. the curious thing about that is the environmental catastrophe that follows when you bring these railroads through and you see yellow fever and all of these other diseases that have previously just been coastal. you see scurvy and a lot of other diseases that are uniquely southern that have to do with all the cheap food that comes in by railroad into the south. the cheap food does not have vitamin c or iron. lots and lots of white and black people are eating food that is not good for them. you see the slowness and all of these diseases. the south is, kind of, i would argue become something in this period. there is a kind of self. people like henry grady in atlanta, is about remembering a kind of south where the moonlight and magnolias henry grady with the atlanta journal- constitution puts together as a bourbon the way of excluding black people from voting. he comes up with this way

we are a thousand police short in the city of atlanta.currently prosecuting president trump for a phone call while she has 200 murders on backup of this issue is peeling the band-aid off. we have several thousand homeless people walking the streets taking over houses in many instances like that sweet lady needs a house that she has a family i would not characterize most of this is that situation we have criminals going into houses and my question to you is, where is the governor of the state of georgia? he is in texas doing photo ops on the southern border he should be paying close attention to this because this is his capital city this is one of the reasons we are trying to move buckhead out of atlanta and i call on governor kim, speaker burns and the lieutenant governor bert jones to get their rear ends in gear because this is a catastrophic problem in the great city of atlanta. >> 1000 police officers in short and a distracted ga and local leaders leads to issues like this and there were 4 people who were recently arrested after federa

atlanta is a city of women. black and white women and these will be the hands that work in the cotton mills. so rather than just growing cotton, we also will see industrialization and urbanization. and industrialization and urbanization and south is not actually what we see here it's not these 20 story buildings. it's taking cotton interning into cloth. it's taking timber and turning into furniture produce taking tobacco and turning it into cigarettes. if taking the raw materials and going one step up and that is what the south is. so when we talk about industrialization and urbanization like in atlanta then we are about taking raw materials and doing one more thing with them. >> absolutely. i want to go back a little bit before the civil war because i want to touch on of what you left off with, john. we skipped a large time period. during this time there was a shift in the way that enslaved africans and african-americans and white people relating to one another. i don't want to leave this out but the native ame

and y'all, why atlanta. atlanta people are like, what in the world we're trying to rebuild a city and y'all striking what we we i thought we work this like we actually didn't work out anything like we are on strike the lasts for a little while but through that strike black women are able to black women black white women are able to get their wages increased. so sorts of things are very because that was no freedman's bureau know about that mediation was gone and they did this by themselves. so it also changes the work aspect for all black. and again, this is more than 98% of the black women work in the it's how domestics are able to get higher wages. it really changes the labor aspect in atlanta for at least a little while now now with the end of reconstruction and examples like this, i just want charts again. think this was my whole seven years in the school. i could go on and on about it. i do want to stop for questions. i want to shout to think about these next appearances of black women and all different

shows you what the crisis is in atlanta.all day. >> lawrence: we just saw you standing with a woman inside one of those houses and there is a tangle of wires and something was missing. what was -- what was that? >> lawrence: yeah. so, that wiring they take out so there is a combination of the copper, as well as that wiring, and they take and they sell that. now, they are only getting a few dollars on it. but it's profitable. a lot of these places already don't have electricity anyway, so they don't really need the wire. they set fires in those places and they bring in generators. so that's where they get their real electricity from. >> steve: gotcha. >> ainsley: thanks, lawrence not a single student can do math grade level 30 schools. more on that. >> steve: i bet they spend a lot on both. emit smith hall of famer is going to join us with his super bowl predictions this morning. so stick around. you're watching "fox & friends." wo♪ and wake up ready to go. how could you?

up there in terms of wealth inequality here in the atlanta region. obviously, there are some things that the fed can do to impact that and also that the fed cannot do. out of that is something you have talked about a lot with your predecessor janet yellen also talking about that. could you speak to wealth inequality, the thoughts you have about the way the fed can and cannot be helpful? i say that also talking about some of the critiques people have had around thank regulations and how that may or may not play into the ability for low income populations to get access to credit and important things like mortgages for starting businesses. bottom line, it is wealth inequality. what can the fed do and not do? i know there are more things you would like to see happen to make that less of an issue in this country. chair powell: part of what enables us to do all of our jobs is we have k for -- thoughtful discussion of what is going on in our economy. something going on for close to .5 centuries now is rising inequality. the first thing we do is publish a tr
