and as the ukrainian ambassador shared with me, what happens in the black sea does not stay in the black sea. by weaponizing the export of ukrainian grain through the blackni sea, putin is already shown his willingness to bring the world to the brirng brink of a global food crisis and russia actions effect not only country bordering black sea but also dozens of countries and -- africa such as somalia and kenya and asia and other parts of the world country food security depends on russia's actions. it is also caused extreme volatility in grain prices over the past year and a half which creates increased cost and uncertainty for u.s. consumers and farmers. he's upended global energy market contradicting to rising cost in europe and here at home and most concerning, russian attack drowns have crash landed in romania and risking further escalation in europe given that romania is a nato ally. president biden has sent congress and assistance package that includes more than 60 billion dollars for ukraine. i hope we can get this done and get ukraine what it needs. supporting ukraine is crucial t

you see black people and families, you see a novel about black love.el about striving for a better life, and i the novel became, for me i know i can speak more directly about what is meant for me -- it's a beautiful novel. and you see people living life, not lynchings, not destroyed by urban realities as some of the early novels correctly painted, living in a chicago or new york for example. you saw families struggling to build better lives in this novel. so it's a wholesome novel. it's a novel informed by the spiritual beliefs, informed by respect for the positions that people held, and you don't see a great deal of violence in these novels. >> host: throughout the program this evening, we are going to be showing several sketches, and many of them are by the late artist jerry pinckney. to give an idea what life was like in the early 1900s, the populati was approaching about 100 million. eatonville, flori, itself was incorporated in 1887. it's the oldest black inc. a incoorated town in the u.s., and of course, the setting for this book. there were jim

then it is even harder for black people and black women. mason had a heavy hd in deciding what she did or did not do. >> we are here at the university of florida. we have this collection that consists of documents, manuscripts and correspondence that represent the last part of their life. a person pronoun. she was an active anthropologist, writer. mostly during the harlem renaissance time. at the end of her life, she suffered from quite a bit of health issues and became somewhat obscure. she went about some of the movements. the upshot of it was by the time she died january of 1960, she was suffering from overdue bills. we have overdue hospital bills from 1959 and other documents that demonstrate her struggles with finances. in january of 1960, when she passed away as the word of st. lucie can see. dippy patrick was driving by. he literally put the hose into the flames. they were brought to the home of a friend of hers. they were dried off on her porch. kristin said they need to go to the university of florida for posterity. they encapsulat

you see black people living in families. you see a novel about black love. novel about striving for a better life. and i think that the novel became, for me, i can speak directly about what it meant for me. it's a beautiful novel. you are seeing people live life. not lynchings. not destroyed by urban realities, as some of the other early novels correctly painted living in chicago or new york, for example. you saw families struggling to build better lives in this novel. so, it's a wholesome novel. it's a novel informed by spiritual belief. informed by respect for positions that people held. and you don't see a great deal of violence in these novels. in this novel anyway. >> throughout this program, we will show you several sketches, many of them are by the late artist jerry pinckney. give you an idea of what america was like in the early 1900s, the population was approaching 100 million. eatonville, florida itself was incorporated in 1887. it is the oldest black incorporated town in the u.s., and the setting for this book. there were jim crow laws throughout

black sailors are reading black newspapers and writing back to them. and there's an incident in 1909 when a fleet of warships docks in new york. they a parade and while the black presidents note that there's no white people in the parade and they know there's black sailors on the ships, so they ask kind of what's going on? they write a letter, actually, to the navy department. the navy department sends a letter back saying. of course, there's like sailors in the navy. you know they're talking about all the things they're allowed to do. but it wasn't rooted in any kind of reality. and so on that, the paper received a couple of different letters from. blacks, those who were serving in the fleet in 1910, kind of explaining what their life was like. one guy i'm going to paraphrase here talks about how, you know, there's more discrimination navy than the rest of the u.s., which is pretty striking to say. he talks about how only black sailors or blacks is only allowed to as stewards and really terrible of heaving coal. and it steamships talks about how they

black, latina, native, asian americans. 0.13% went to black women.when you look at these disparities, knowing we comprise more than 20% of the u.s. population yet we are receiving as black women 0.13% of the dollars and women of color as a collective 0.39%, it is abysmal. what the money allows the entrepreneurs to do is hire employees, change and transform communities, because we know when it comes to diversity, research from years ago suggests that 80% of white americans in this country have networks that are 100% white. 80% of white americans in this country have networks that are 100% white. if you are black or brown in this country, you were eight or nine times more likely to have completely diverse networks of all races and ethnicities. if you can diversify those who are writing the checks, you can diversify the investment and we can create economic freedom and progress for all. so that, my friends, is why this lawsuit is so incredibly important. he has already taken away affirmative on higher education and gone after more diversity in californi

we've had a black president, we have a black vice president.ohn lewis went from being a troublemaker that cardinal boyle objected to to being a distinguished national leader and member of congress. but voting rights are not secure. i looked at the program from the march 60 years ago and two things struck me. one, it was almost all men. [laughter] women saying. -- women sang. mahalia jackson told martin to tell them about the dream. on saturday, it is not all men anymore. the most important thing for me was dr. king's 15-year-old granddaughter, yolanda renÉe king, who lit up the crowd. so that is different, thank god. the other thing that struck me is most of the speakers -- half of them, in fact -- were religious speakers and there were precious few on saturday, and that says maybe something about the religious community but also about the movement. tonight, we invite religious leaders, we invite women, we invite you in the lot of others to think about what the marks meant and what it calls us to do now. black unemployment, black people twice a

this is a great deal for black rock, but why them let me tell you about black rock, the kind of things the media hardly ever talks about because it is essentially too big to criticize. really it is to be criticized barcroft makes much of its revenue essentially on did you know wars? that's right. they make their money from worse. it is a top beneficial owner of lucky martin. boeing, general dynamics, northrop grumman. and of course, raphael, and where else does black rock making some money? the oil and gas black rock overseas is one of the largest fossil fuel portfolios in the entire world. and don't think for one minute that it doesn't see dollar signs all over this ukraine deal, especially given the sanctions that are being placed on russian energy. i mean, it's heavily invested in the companies that compete with russia, oil companies, so dough for them. it's an opportunity, right? sanctions deals, black rock owns huge watts of chevron. kind of go phillips, marathon petroleum, and recently even less than an investment of $15500000000.00 into a ram truck. which, as you probably know,

i'm victor black well. let's start the show. >>> there's a new cnn poll of recommegistered voters this wee the news is not good for the president. he's running nearly even with donald trump among men of color. 49 and 46 with trump at 49. that's within the margin of error, but that's remarkable. in 2020 biden won men of color by 34 pointings. he won black men by 60 points. la tee know men, 23. and sure the election is not going to be held today. it's about a year away. and is biden ultimately expected to win with minority voters, men and women, yes. but the margins are crucial. i got numbers coming to you now. stick with me. 4.9 million votes were cast for president in 2020. according to our exit polls, 11% of them were black men. biden won georgia by fewer than 12,000 votes. in arizona, 3.3 million votes cast. 9% of them were latino men. biden won there by fewer than 11,000 votes. and the president dismisses the new polling numbers from cnn and similar numbers from "the new york times," but they are consist

rock, i've a lift gate, he's black man. he is there. they're having a teleconference reading them. what does that tell you? what's in me, it tells me that zalinski is a lot more interested in what black rock has offer than what fluid is silver, has to offer, which has these uh so what's the name of the alternative? there is something a little more interesting to him. i would say it's the economic angle, right. and when, whenever we talking about wars, i think primarily we're going to be talking about economics at the end of the day for better for worse uh, black rock, signed and accord with the government of zelinski visit lensky regime. and agreement for the creation of a so called ukrainian development on this followed a december era agreement between black rock and diesel answering machine to vote, coordinate investment efforts to rebuild the nation. sort of a gesture to some kind of a marshall plan there, i think. but it's important to understand just who we're talking about here, who is black rock, right? this is the w

you see black people and families, you see a novel about black love.ovel about striving for a better life, and i think the novel became, for me i know i can speak more directlybo what is meant for me - is a betiful novel. and you see people living life, not lynchings, not destroyed by urban realities as some of the early novels correctly painted, living in a chicago or new york for example. you saw families struggling to build better lives in this novel. so it's a wholesome novel. it's a novel informed by the spiritual beliefs, informed by respect for the positionshat people held, and you don't see a great deal of violence in these novels. >> host: throughout the program this evening, we are going to be showing several sketches, and many of them are by the late artist jerry pinckney. to give an idea what life was like in t early 1900s, the population was approaching about 10million. eatonville florida, itself was incorporated in 1887. it's the oldest black in a incorporated town in the u.s., and of course, the sting for this book. there were jim crow l

the military agree to the creation of all-black training camp for black officers.f you're going to be du bois' kentish any examples of talented leadership and manhood on the battlefield. they would establish a segregated camp in fort des moines, iowa. so from the start of thehe war he's intimately connected to the service of black soldiers, officers in particular, many of whom he knew personally. some were close friends. so i think it's really important to keep in mind just how closely connected du bois is to the war as its unfolding and its history, which is onene of the reasons why he found it so incredible difficult, incredibly frustrating to write about. but he has to reckon with east st. louis and houston as a talk in the book. the east st. louis program in july of 1917, maybe hundreds of african-americans being slaughtered. just the following month in august of 1917, black soldiers as part of the 24th infantry, one of the regiments of the buffalo soldiers, engaged in a shootout in houston, texas, which leads 17gh people dead. certainly the worst nightmares of

the military agreed to the creation of an all a-black training camp for black officers.y were going to be dubois' shining example of man manhood on the latin -- battlefield. so from that side of the war, he's intimately connected to the service of blank soldiers, officers, in particular many of whom he knew effortly system some were close friends. so i think it's really important to keep in mind just how closely connected dubois is to the war as it's unfolding and its history. which is one of the f reasons wy he found the it so difficult can,n, incredibly us from freighting, the write about.. but he asked to reckon with east st.m louis at the position romn july of 1917. there are hundreds of african-americans willing slaughtered. just the following month in august of 197 -- 1917, black soldiers as part of the 24th infantry, engaged in a shootout in rustin, texas, which leaves 50 people dead. so duboise is in the mid midst of all these upheels. and and that continues after the war. he actually's to france. there's an interesting story i chronicle in the book about how he

moment, the political power of black americans as related to a black protest movement as well as a black presidency. and i published my first book, they can't kill us all, which was a look at the rise of this protest movement. and when you publish book almost immediately people start asking you what the next book is or what are you, what's the next project? what do you work on next? so i published the first book in november 2016. obviously there was a major presidential election that went a different way than i think many people had imagined. it was going to go. and so i was already in this moment thinking about, okay, what is next? i've spent four years covering a black president. the rise of a black protest movement. i had been imagining i'd be covering how this black protest movement interacted with the first female president and how i was imagining something very different that was very clear. they weren't going to be invited to the white house. right. for example and so i was thinking about, okay, what does it mean to cover issues of race and justice in this era in this season and a

the military agreed to the creation of an all-black training camp for black officers.hese were going to be the kind of shining examples of the leadership and in fort des moines iowa. from thehe i start of the war hs intimately connected to the service of black soldiers, officers in particular many of whom he knew personally. some more). so i think it's important to keep in mind how closely connected he is to the war as it is unfolding in its history which is one of the reasons that he found it so incredibly difficult and frustrating to write about. but he has to reckon with east st. louis and houston as i talk about in the book. east st. louis put one on july 1917. hundreds of african-americans being slaughtered. just the following month in august of 1917, black soldiers were part of the 24th infantry, one of the regimentsts of the buffalo soldiers engaged in a shootout in houston texas which leaves 17 people dead. so the nightmares the southerners, black soldiers shooting up a city in the south. so he is in the midst of all of these upheavals and that continues after

boys is closest black friends. they went way back all the way back to wilberforce. and charles young was someone who loved his country right, who believed that it was possible to be both loyal to your country, to serve your country, also be loyal to your race, to serve your race. so he was looking at individuals like charles young as kind of emblem of the possibilities of what the war could do for black people. and there's a lot of tragedy surrounding charles young as well as as i talk about in the book, which ultimately adds dubois's disillusionment after the war and belief certainly by the mid 1920s and into the 1930s that the war indeed was a complete tragedy and a failure, champ explained both and very few people here are since world war one, right when i was 19, at the end of my sophomore year at yale, i took a gap on a program funded by the carnegie corporations called five year b.a. so every year, 12 kids at yale in sophomore year, at the end of your sophomore year, you would be chosen. you'd have to. the on

our black governor.e looks down on us. he thinks mississippians have no good sense, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has spent time as governor looking out for his big shot voters. >> think of 2020 when the biden administration looked doomed after poor finishes that were early on. it was black voters in south carolina who rescued him. according to a cnn exit poll, biden won about three in five black voters in the state in the 2020 primary. now south carolina voters will be the first to cast ballots in the 2024 presidential primary, so we know the power of black votes. that gets us to south carolina's jim clyburn. he's calling out fellow democrat dean phillips for not respecting black voters and silliness as he challenges president biden in the 2024 primary. congressman clyburn is here to explain next. >>> i'm sure by now you've heard all this, that president biden's plans for a second term are in trouble because of his age, his progressives, independents, the migrant kprie sis, inflation, yo

declining for black sailors. from about 1870 to early 1900s, you can find black sailors, most serving as stewards, cooks and -- but some have more specialized jobs, firemen, carpenters, storekeepers and -- steamships so there are more kind of specialized jobs. what we know of -- petty officer first class you can find a handful that were brought into petty officer second and third class. between -- 1901, there were nine black sailors that were awarded the medal of honor for various acts of bravery and heroism. and throughout 1890s into early 1900s, black sailors are continuing to serve in integrated crews. he ate, slept, worked and fought alongside white sailors. what frame most of the discussions really focus on a -- it's important to note they were filipino sailors, chinese sailors, japanese sailors, sailors from south america. a really integrated fleet. while black sailors as doctor reedy pointed out were no strangers to racism, there were still small pockets of mobility that terminated the walls of white supre

marion, black belt. thank you. we are very proud of the legacy, the very strong and uplifting legacy that is alabama's seventh congressional district is a legacy of ordinary americans during, having the audacity, to make this nation live up to its highest ideals of justice and equality for all. generations of americans, many in my hometown of selma, march, fought, and even died for the equal rights of all americans to vote for it was their sacrifice they gave us a civil rights act of 1964 and the voting rights act of 1965. today we know that all battles have become new again. our progress is under attack for the cross the nation extremists are working to restrict voting access, undermine our democracy, and dilute the power of the african american and minority voters. nowhere is that battle more evidence than in my home state of alabama. in june black voters in alabama won a historic victory when the supreme court struck down our congressional map and ordered the state to create at least two majority minority distri

— the thin black line. mean, the thing about those exhibitions in the 1980s, those three that you mentioned, is that they all took place in art centres and that's key, because art centres are the places where people come in for one reason and end up doing another thing. so less rarefied, more open? and absolutely welcoming and the sort of the cultural offer, if you like, as you'd call it these days, is very mixed. so you might come in and see a film, but while you're waiting, you might look at an exhibition, or you come in an exhibition and when you've done that, you'll have a cup of tea. so i loved that. and also the people that ran those art centres, battersea arts centre, the ica, the africa centre, were people who wanted that mixture and cross—cultural discussion. were you, were you angry at the time? yeah, but i'm, i'm strategic, so i'm angry when i'm thinking and planning. but then i want to work out how best to get the thing done. and i think along... because a lot of other people were also doing tha

but then by 2020, white income had up, black income had fallen, median black income had fallen. it was 35% of white income. and part of that was because wealthy. black families had other options and took them. and part of it was because there were parts of shaker, partly due to the housing crisis that where the that opened up to lower income people housing vouchers started to be accepted there were some of these properties foreclosed upon out-of-town landlords them they were willing to accept housing vouchers where people hadn't before. so lower income people were arrive so yes. so the those economic disparities did not just imagine they have grown larger and that and that in a way is actually it's big challenge. but at the same time, it's also like a big opportunity, like here's here's a district that's educating both kids who qualify for poverty programs and very, very wealthy kids. and that's, you know, that's not a bad thing. thank you for telling the story. thank you. yeah. 5 minutes left. so i'm going to ask those who are left. we're going to get into our flash session. so

to black. why is racism or race in general always mentioned when talking about. simple. it is a mechanism of control and reaction. the fact that racm is so demonized in america means it is simply not acceptable. calling someone a racist in 1920 probably didn't have same sting as it does in 2020. this is a positive in our country. but there are those have found a way to weaponize racism and benefit politically. yeah, absolutely. you know, racisms a thing is hard to defend. someone calls you. how do you how do you defend? you're a racist. right. if you say i, a black friend, my friends of black, feminist black, you say, oh now you're tokenizing people. so it's a easy and actually a pretty ingenious way to slander people. you don't need any proof. you just need insinuatn. if you look different than someone else, then, well, that's. that's a valid. why you might be racist. maybe the's something there. and so we're going to explore a story mission to defame you, to slder you with no evidence. and th

states are black and black women are especially hard hit.story is largely ignored. black women account for 25% of crime victims in most categories. and, again, mostly ignored by the press. kudos for cbs for doing that report. and in new orleans, black people make up the majority of murder victims. but, look, it's not just in those two places, going back for decades, liberal sociologists have posited that the disproportionate violence committed by black men is linked to the violence that had been perpetrated against them during the slave period. now, this idea is nothing new. that the past -- unfair treatment of people in the past justifies or explains future bad behavior in other words victimhood pays. the problem is as the great walter williams once argued the world is full of victims. >> we're sit down and decide who, which people have the most destruction, the most oppression in the world, i couldn't come up with a name of the you know, the turks tried to will armenians, the nazis with the jews. the irish and the catholic, the huginos, pe

the older black voters -- women are often the glue in these black communities, anderson. when you hear people say, people died for my right to vote, and i might not vote. it's stunning. it blows away the organizers who have done this in campaign after campaign after campaign. one reason this bloc group is out there every day, they understand the challenges. they're knocking every week. they do neighborhood cleanups. they do everything to be in touch with these people. they want to be the familiar face. but i'm telling you, we knew it was bad from our phone calls before we even went out there. it is beyond belief. you heard the black man, devonte johnson, not sure who he's going to vote for. might vote for trump. older black women saying, i might not vote. for older black women to say that after all they've been through, it tells you everything about their disupon den si. they don't see change e and d t don't t see the e presesident. he betteter get out t there. >>>> thank youou. we'll l be right b back. >>> for information to help the humanitarian efforts in israel and ga

this is why black on black crime, majority of criminals and victims in the united states are black and black women are especially hard hit, that story is largely ignored. black women account for 20% of crime victims. in new orleans black people make up the majority of murder victims. not just in those two places, for decades, liberal sociologists say what is committed by black men is linked to violence perpetrated against them during the slave period. this idea is nothing new, past unfair treatment of people in the past justifies or explains future bad behavior. another word, victimhood plays. richard williams once argues, the world is full of victims. >> sit down and decide which people have faced most destruction, most oppression in the world. turks and armenians, the nazis with the jews, the irish and catholic. persecute people, nothing unique about blacks. if you look at history and decide who is persecuted most, it is a useless battle. >> laura: in effort to smear america as racist and evil country, our leaders created generation that believes it has a license to vandalize, steal,
