skin blacks who regarded dark-skinned blacks as their inferiors. but they are not usually regarded as racists. all things considered the historical record supports the argument that eminent african american scholar benjamin quarles 60 years ago. lincoln was a man without bigotry of any kind a man who treated blacks as they wanted to be treated as human beings. similarly as david reynolds argued two years ago lincoln was a quote radical anti-racist and a leftist abolitionist who loathed racism beneath those outer veil of moderation and caution their layer radically progressive self in conclusion, i'd like to summarize the gist of those chapters in my book dealing with lincoln's interaction with african americans, especially those he encountered in washington. his unfailing cordiality to blacks in general. is willingness to meet with them and the white house to honor their requests to invite them to consult on public policy to treat them with respect and kindness whether they were kitchen servants or leaders of the black community. invite them to att

other black folks you have black folks in power who don't set her black votes who are undermining black folks. that's not who i'm talking about. i'm talking about black folks who care about black votes right being in every single level of power and being able to essentially recognize where can we implement some of these solutions in a way that can actually impact american families across the board. and i know you're but the discussion guy that came with the book. yes. there's a question that finally harder for you to answer because i actually which one's your favorite children. but what what chip is three or if you have three in magic wand and you had three policy solutions from this book that you can implement as a start not gonna solve everything. that's a start. what would be the three? he wrote the piece too. so the folks. sorry. sure. let me let me go ahead and pull that up. i would say perhaps my first one would be i'm the name of this community. sorry. my first one would be probably to hear duckett. i would start off with that. so do your ducky talks about abolition, but he talks

for black boys.re are also going to talk about disproportionately high rates of joblessness and other obstacles to equal opportunity in the workplace for black men and black boys and we will talk about the conditions that must be corrected to ensure that black men and boys interactions with the criminal justice system are constitutionally sound and just. as always our goal is not only to identify problems contributing to disparities, but again to really dig deep on strategies for prevention and education. so without delay i am going to turn the floor over to our panelists and i want to start first with dr. gregory hutchins. it is wonderful to have you here with us dr. hutchings. my question for you to get us started, there was a recent may 2022 article that appeared in the public school review that outline strategies for addressing critical areas relating to black boys in the school systems throughout the country. and although many school systems have developed strategies that boost graduation rates,

business and black business ownership currently black women hold the most black businesses of any demographic in the country. however, the gains the potential gains of that have not been seen black women are also the population that has the least amount of wealth in this country. from your from your book you speak about entrepreneurship as this gateway to opportunity but also as one that has been built over time. is it relates to black people being able to have to have access how do you translate that into what is being seen today? because entrepreneurship is continually pressed throughout the community. that's something that regardless of what part are you stand for entrepreneurship is something that feel as though the black community definitely jumps a hold of but with that being said, they aren't necessarily seeing that those same gains even though the numbers in terms of black entrepreneurship are there. me yeah, so we first take a look at some of the policy issues that we could address and that's in the economic freedom section. we draw a lot on michael tanner's book the inclusive econom

lives and black people. i want to walk through this experience and show you some of the images that transform my experience, why i wanted to create this book. i'm going to introduce the slide show. here the title of this is retellings dory's of photography about the blacks of the war soldier. it is -- a top that focuses on a number of experiences that i wanted to start off with the cover of the book as well as the images posin the p the important aspect of p, and as we think about posing in the photographer studio, the soldiers you will see, many of them are using the backdrop that expresses citizenship. to me, in reading these images in the 21st century, i say these soldiers in the 19th century, they believe that they were free and they were fighting for the freedom. and that they were citizens. and recognizing that, we see the american flag, and we also see the experience of the artist, the photographer who created these images. because they are also painting a backdrop. so we see the life parts of this st

blacks? try nothing. go out on the streets and asked blacks who are walking around -- what did biden and obama do for the blacks? host: ellis cose? guest: i would have to look this up. i am pretty sure 70% of blacks do not live in section eight housing, but there is some truth to that, which is that a huge proportion of blacks still live in very segregated housing, some of it subsidized by the state, some of it is not. there is a long and contorted history of why housing for blacks and whites is so different. it doesn't start with obama and biden and those people, it starts with the decision made by the united states and maintained by the u.s. government to segregate society and relegate blacks to some of the worst neighborhoods. the housing projects, which came in the aftermath of world war ii, were segregated. there was very different housing made for whites then was made for african-americans, and we are still living with the consequences of that. the society we live in was segregated, so

we talk about driving wild black. each of these problems are fourth amendment problems, but you wouldn't know that from the way in which these issues are discussed in the press. so i did a little bit of data. diving before this talk literally yesterday and i looked in a media archive to kind of see how many stories do you see if you looked at for example deadly force. four thousand how many of those stories about deadly force also reference the fourth amendment? 26 i looked at traffic stops and driving while black how many stories you think you see something like 6,000. how many of those stories reference forth amendment? 5 no knock warrants. how many stories do you see something like 10,000 how many of those reference the fourth amendment? 35 so we can the fourth amendment place a critical role with respect to all of these pieces of policing. and we're not talking about it. there isn't an understanding of the ways in which this body of law constitutionalized the very forms of policing that we think of troubling. that

i agree black men and black boys are not the problem. it is also the fact that we are problemitized. and i think that if you can do a few things, one as the brother put earlier, uplift the local organizations who are doing this well, but then to shift the culture and the way that the federal government could help shift the culture is to incentivize that success sequence which focuses on graduating high school, getting a good job and then getting married and having kids in that order. whatever stage that an organization is in. if it could do those things, i think we would be better off. those are my comments. and again, i appreciate you all. >> i mentioned earlier that i'm gonna have to leave early, but i really applaud what you just now said. you're right about the millennial success sequence -- finish high school, don't have a kid until you get married, get married, avoid the criminal justice system, get a job, any job, keep that job. don't quit that job till you get another job. that's the path towards leaving poverty and going at leas

the whole new wave of black films with black stars by black directors. right now in new york, a new black film is being premiered just about every week. among those drawing impressive reviews is boys in the hood. directed by 23-year-old john singleton. >> i really wanted to make a film that would voice what i had seen growing up as a young black man in los angeles. los angeles police department. they were kind of an occupying force. >> defense attorneys claiming they couldn't get a fair trial in los angeles got the case moved to more conservative neighboring ventura county. >> it felt like these officers were being sent to a very friendly venue. and certainly, a more friendly venue than a downtown la jury would have been. >> the defense picked apart a video tape and every image was turned around to say see where king is threatening the police officers and it is not about race but king resisting. >> you didn't see him have a weapon. >> yes. >> what kind of weapon did he have? >> it was his body. >> we are prepared to take care of any eventuality no matter

and i guess because i went to a historically black college and was very much in the black institutions, i always wondered about legally baseball. and what's 1 million dollar business it was. and i was wondering if and if you subscribe to the idea that the negro league baseball had to be sacrificed for the greater good. i'm really wondering how true that was, if negro league baseball could have flourished and survived and was jackie's beginning of the end or was that a necessary and, would you guys think about that? >> if major league baseball wants jackie and roy campanella and new come and larry dove-y and ernie banks and frank robinson and it goes on and on. once owners conclude rightly that these men can take their team to the world series, then you've got at the time, 16 team owners who are going to go through the negro leagues, pick the very best of them, take them into the major league soccer. and by definition, when you do that, the quality of play in the negro league is going to suffer. the negro leagues didn't manage to stay alive until about 1955. believe it or not. they surv

what about black people?end to favor white people slightly. the challenge is thinking about not just what people's intentions are, but how do you grow up in a world where white supremacy is embedded in everything, and you breathe it in in a way that gets into your subconscious? >> there's a test? >> there is. >> i feel like i'm hip to this stuff. is it smarter than me i guess is what i'm saying? >> i think it is. >> we ask the question many of you have had for three seasons. how racist is kamau? >> i would accept an invitation to a new year's eve party given by a white couple in my home? if i didn't do that, i wouldn't be able to hang out with my in-laws, strongly agree. >> the first part of the test is situational answers that aren't yes or no. pick the level to which you agree or disagree. most white people can't be trusted to deal honestly with black people? uh -- i'm going to cover this from cnn's eyes. i don't mean my bosses at cnn. you guys are great with black tv hosts. the second part of the test is a

this is black appalachia. >> yeah. nice. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> when i say appalachia, you probably picture something like this, or this. harmful stereotypes of poor white folks. we will have to take those on another day. what you probably do not picture is this. a history of black folks here runs as deep as any other nonindigenous people. they are a critical part of appalachia. i am here to help tell their story, because it is in danger of disappearing forever. >> i'm watching the appalachian trail. >> there are mountains, there. those are some of the oldest mountains in the world. you see the swiss alps, they are so big. these are the grandmothers. >> crystal good is a sixth generation west virginia native, founder of appalachia's first all-black newspaper. she will show me around and introduce me to people and places at the core of black appalachia. >> a lot of these narratives that paint and appalachian stereotype forget that not all appalachia is white people. folks like me, and black families, don't necessarily get into that

what is it to be black from appalachia?ere are black people and mountains, i'm at home. it feels like home. >> it's the land that makes you an appalachian. my family has been here since before there was such a thing as tennessee. slaves and freed. our relationship to the hills like i could probably name every one of those hills out there. i don't exist without this place. >> what i care about is that my, you know, 9-year-old niece grows up to know that, like, she came from a long line of people that expected her to inherit this experience. the experience about what littell her about who she is. and reclaiming what white supremacy and patriarchy and capitalism stole from me, they might even relinquish me calling myself an appalachian. but the thing they really didn't want me to know is a long legacy of resistance. >> right, right. >> i was in lynch, kentucky earlier this week. and the narrative i got there was really in 20, 30, 40 years it may not be black in appalachia there anymore. how do you continue the legacy? >> we ne

well homes is the avatar of the black quarterback, but for years blacks were shunted to the marginal positions. yes, they played running back and the split ends and you were a an ended morgan state. were you not bill roden didn't you play i pretended to be yes. okay. well, i i read your book and i know you were a better athlete than you thought admit to but here is the the deal. the blacks were denied representation at the higher levels just before jackie died. he pleaded for a black coach or manager on the third baseline when he was honored for the 25th anniversary of his pioneering effort. in cincinnati at the world series and a few a few days later, i think was 19 days. he died. you might say of a broken heart. yeah, so we're gonna we're gonna get to that a little later on. let's go to slide number two as we now now this is a jackie robinson comic book a front page to your left and and first page on your rights dated 1950. what do you guys now again? kind of get into our theme of here's this guy i who is is the first to break through and by 1950. he's got a comic book and it's not

we are losing too many children and young people, specifically black boys and young black men. in 2020 firearm homicide rates for age 10 to 24 for black men were 21 times as high as the rate for white boys and men in the same age group. this cannot continue. we stand with the league, the national urban league is committed to gun violence prevention and reduction strategies, we cannot wait any longer, we deserve to feel safe. we know what works to prevent firearm violence. by focusing on places and people who experience the greatest burden and the conditions that contribute to risk we can reduce violence, suicide and equities. our focus needs to be on supporting at helping build strong, healthy, resilient communities, you are charting a course for our future so together we can build a healthier and safer nation, healthier and safer world. i'm committed to being your partner in this work. i was honored to receive your invitation to speak and eager for the opportunity to engage with you. i know you have wide reaching influence with a broader audience the trusts and looks to you to

yes, 80% of black people are killed by black people. over 80% of white people are killed by white people. but we don't have the narrative of white on white crime. why is that? sometimes we have to ask the next question. and what you also have is you have washington, d.c. and chicago have implemented gun safety laws to try to deal with the homicide rates in those cities. you have the u.s. supreme court, first in the heller decision, then in the mcdonald decision, undermine those safety laws. and he sought guns flooding in to those communities again. this is why, after uvalde, while you have governor abbott talking about, but what about chicago? because that becomes the kind of trope of black violence that gets deployed consistently by republicans. host: text message from kelvin in baltimore.

we don't just empathize with the black community, we identify with the black community.nd more of that, is going to be changing the dynamics of identity as we look at the landscape. put of the data points when we change our name? i think it was -- we marry outside of our -- latinos marry outside of our ethnicity more than any other ethnicity. we literally love everyone and it shows. but it is all good, and to understand that solidarity is embedded in our communities with families and across various communities. so, we need to understand that we have for the draws us together and the issues that we are fighting for our common issues that we see including access to broadband and education all of these issues are issues that we have been in lockstep working together and we have made inroads. again, it's not easy. we need to be intentional about building the solidarity and unity because there are tensions and we have to acknowledge them. at the national level, we have made great progress. at the local level, we have to make sure we don't let the bad actors who exploit perhap

the ukrainian black sea court will not accept. that is, i told him that's his whole audience, and the audience. there were 500 people there. the generals, the officers, who swore allegiance, that is, they, uh, don’t believe vera here, that is, they already copied them, they were in an idiotic position, because hurry up, when you climb for what you will, that i and the sailors do not agree. we will not accept food. and you already accepted something, so uh, i uh supposedly caused such irritation. this audience had such an icy silence during the entire performance, in ukraine they understood that it was beauty that would arise. the very person who will lead the operation to save the fleet the team of president kravchuk diligently compiles a dossier on the admiral, he realized that i was generally the commander of the pig commander, you know, and the grandson of four st. george cavaliers of the first world war. i'm probably not that simple. it means that we are there to be frightened, it means that we either shout the glory of ukrain

soldiers but black men who are trying to protect themselves. so he tells his confederate counterpart that he's doing this. so there's kind of a breakdown of exchange in the department of the south even before there's a breakdown of exchange in the wider military conflict because hunter really does want to protect his soldiers so he even has when the first and second south carolina when the first south carolina starts doing escalating. it's raids in november of 1862 hunter instructs them to capture prominent white citizens so that he can hold them as hostages in hilton head for the safety of his black soldiers and so he collects hostages from beginning of the war to try to protect so then something i'm kind of a different way of answering that question when foster and sam jones who's the confederate commander of the department of south carolina george in florida in 1864. they try to conduct a whole bunch of prisoner exchanges, even when they're superiors, tell them not to so one of the things i talk about in the book foster is so traumatized by

the country can move toward greater polarization black them on black people and white people among white filled with hatred towards each other or we can make an effort as martin luther king did to comprehend to replace that violence that standard bloodshed that has spread across the land with an effort to understand with compassion and love and in the course of the speech he mentions. because it appears at a white man killed. dr. king and if you if you want to be angry with all white men that you know, that's understandable, but i lost a brother and he was killed by a white man. it's the only time robert kennedy ever mentioned his brother's murder or assassination in public, but he felt it was a kid, you know some kind of a anyway, i urge you to look at the speech and read it and and he went on from there and as you know, so he goes on he stopped campaigning the next day he gave he canceled all events until kings funeral, but the next day he gave one more talk in the city club of cleveland on the mindless menace of violence. and it speaks to what happened there. it talks about the violen

you know, i think that the high rates of c-sections happen for black women, often because black womeneir choices of how they want to birth. so, and what i mean by that is, we do have choices in the way we want to give birth we convert and a hospital, we can birth in birthing centers, and we can birth at home. and birthing really should take place spontaneously. unfortunately, too often, because we are the most vulnerable doctors wanna hurry up, russian, induce us, and then rushes and to see section. sometimes because they're not listening when we talk about our pain our issue. so, c-sections have something to do with the high rates that black women have when we are dying from childbirth complications. but you also have, people not listening that women say that when they don't feel well. it's really important to listen to black women when they're talking about their bodies. >> your film takes a deeper look at the history of black midwives and how the medical isolation of birth has stripped most of them the ability to practice in the early 19 hundreds. in some cases, black practitioners
