black migrants are central to the development of black muslim culture, black muslim religion and communities in cities like chicago, philadelphia, all those places. so you're right there. >> there's a book by a friend of mine, matthew crest ler. he wrote a book on black movement to chicago. i'm catholic. my parents are one of the sinners at st. dorothy church. the african-american patrolman's league fighting racism within the chicago police department. one of the fascinating things he talks about that at one point that were more black catholics than there were in louisiana. i thought that was just a phenomenal experience. he's teaching at the college of charleston right now. >> thank you all for such a wonderful panel. i wanted to see if i couldn't kind of disturb the peace a little bit and invite a literary story to take to us task. in many ways, this idea of 1914, 119, one years ago, is just a pivot in our story. it got based on narrative and words. we go to the '20s and start talking about the harlem renaissance. aren't these just narratives? what do we gain to keep hold of this migration

virginia's black population of 20%. reporter in 1968, it was reported that there was 1469 black elected officials in the united states. as of 2011, it was reported that there are roughly 10, 500, dollars an increase of 700% of. as a result of the black new south, growth over this period was especially impressive at the state level. in five southern states, georgia, louisiana, mississippi, south carolina and texas, a total increase of black elected officials between 1970 and 2015 was over ten fold. at the dawn of the 24 century, mississippi and alabama, places known for racism and injustices, had more black elected officials, at 1628, then the entire nation had in the 1970s, were as 1970s, ten states what the highest number of black elected officials collectively had been 821, proving the impact of black political empowerment in electoral politics.. i say this to say that as evidence of the black new south, of the ten states with the largest number of elected officials at the dawning of the 21st century where mississippi

belt, the georgia black belt. it wiped them out. and then we also see the militarization of the police and a lot of the work you discussed in term of bill clinton's three strikes rule and how that increased federal populations by 800%, overwhelming black males. in a state like georgia, a two-strike rule passed by the governor which increased the state population by 1300%. in the context of a city like atlanta, when maynard jackson wins the mayorship, the city of atlanta is 67% black. now it's barely 50. and what we begin to see is the catalyst for this attack on black spaces was the exploitation of dr. king's legacy presented to the world that ends in the result of atlanta winning the olympic games. and as soon as atlanta decides to bid for the olympic games, the white business elite draw an invisible circle around the city and figure out a way to take back this top real estate and this today is called the beltline. we are 33 years into a 40-year plan of getting rid of black folk. and so when we have this conversa

this is a part of being black and being black you have to wear many hats.extremely proud of you and have a paper i'm going to send you but i just need your address at princeton new jersey. carry-on the good work sister, i love the song of solomon and all the other good things you said. now i will hang up and listen to you. thank you very much. >> lloyd, before you hang up, you mentioned some of your education credentials, what have you done as a career? did you teach all your life? >> i taught middle school, i taught math and language arts and then i went to law school starting at 45 years old. >> did you practice law? >> yes. i practice part-time, taught school middle school the daytime. i did not love the legal profession but i would never exchange that experience because of the background that it gave me. i promote encouraging black males and females to go to law school because this is what we need but i think about the time you have people like thurgood marshall who went all black, colored whatever it's called, and the environment we were raised in year

from black lives matter to black liberation. published in 2016. examining the history of the struggle for black liberation. and also black lives matter. and then how we get to black feminism in 2017. now we turn to housing policy. i always think it's interesting to see what the trajectory is. where they started. what seems they see as the next important urgent issue to write about. i wondered if you'd say something about that. how you connect where you've been your latest project and what you felt it was so important to write a book about this particular topic. >> great question. to begin with, the trajectory in some ways is confused because this was the first book that kept getting delayed and delayed. so it's a revision of my dissertation research. which began as a course paper in the spring of 2008. and so, i finished in 2013. i tried to immediately pivot to trying to write a book and i couldn't. it's a very intense process, writing a dissertation. so i put the book away for three years. i didn't look at it until the summer of 2017. because i n

carving the black hills.hat controversy came from tribal people and people today we would call ecologists. the tribes were looking at a place where they would come in and honor and have honor ceremonies, spend some time. at that time period -- we are talking 1925 -- that wasn't looked at the same way we look at today. today we still have tribal people who are concerned about the black hills being carved. we try to honor that. some of that group our interpretive - -through our interpretive programming. every summer, we hire cultural interpreters. these are people who are looking. --they talk about the lakota story. we are trying to share the importance of the black hills for all of these people, as well as what that sculpture means. it is a balance. the sculptor, gutzon borglum, had started in stone mountain, georgia. there was a conflict there. he left to work for the state of south dakota. the first challenge was finding arve, something appropriate. bignd his son found this outcropping. your next challenge i

is completely black.is also the case from what he is saying i believe that it's always hard to be one of the few in areas where people are economically vulnerable which is the vast majority of the predominantly black communitiespr so referencing his grand sons is probably tough i think we can acknowledge that in society at large for those kids to navigate racial equality but yet to feel marginalized in their school environment. is important and requires sensitivity and always requires that with children and the best way certainly policy as structural changes and legal changes but at the neighborhood level is having developing real connection for people in the neighborhood to cultivate mutual trust. then that's the best you can do and as an individual he can't shape the fortunes of all the kids in the neighborhood but having ethical relationships to share knowledge or information or opportunity and allowing people to depend on you is the hope that we have. and those precious few integrated community. >> mi

contributions of black feminists to the black liberation struggle.you turn to housing policy. i always think it's interesting to see how what the trajectory is where they started, what themes they see as the next important urgent issue to write about. so i wondered if you'd say something about that. how you connect, where you been, where your latest project and why you felt it was so important to write a book about this particular topic. >> it's a great question. just to begin with the trajectory in some ways is à because this was the first book that just kept getting delayed and delayed and delayed. this book is a revision of my dissertation research which began as a course paper in the spring of 2008. i finished in 2013 and i tried to immediately pay the two trying to write a book and i couldn't. it's a very intense process writing a dissertation. i put the book away for three years. i didn't look at it until the summer of 2017 because i needed a break. then there was so much other stuff that was going on. so there's black lives matter and i wrote

black. it is a black business men and women and so forth and so on so it was hard to get bernie's name out there you recently said quote now is not the time for centrism referring to biden and others but i didn't been leading the field for most of this year with the democrats he even has the support of more than 40 percent of black voters compared with 20 percent who backed bernie sanders how do you explain that discrepancy. no but brother biden has what i would call the obama halo and as long as somehow he can still invoke the obama name and some bamma symbolically means much to blacks and rightly so he's not using unprecedented figure in terms of being the 1st black america as a symbolic indictment of white supremacy i'm very critical of obama's neo liberal substance but for many black people that symbolic breakthrough this is so important that as long as biden has a halo that he can somehow at the moment muster support is not going to last that alone by the biden is being and as we get co

between black and white families. the key to this is not end with promotion of property ownership but and hinging social mobility on life changes, ownership of an asset whose value is largely determined by deep stated notions of race, culture and belonging. those attributes in the american housing market has always interested value in such ways that it accrues went in the house hands of white sellers and black buyers and sellers. this is a racial profit and another example of the inherent racial inequality embedded in american capitalism. thank you. [applause] >> a discussion about this crazy book. >> thank you. >> hello, everybody. i am dorothy roberts, i am honored and grateful and excited to be able to discuss this new book, race for profit. i thought i would begin by accentuating the fact that this is your third book. in a very short space of time. i don't know if you are aware of other books but just in the past five years or four years he published three books now, they all are backed by politics and racial just

the whole new wave of black films with black stars by black directors.ew black film is being premiered just about every week. among those drawing impressive reviews is "boyz n the hood" directed by john singleton. >> i really wanted to make a film that voiced what i had seen growing up as a black man in los angeles. los angeles police department, i mean, they were kind of occupying force. it really became a war zone. >> i didn't do nothing. >> you think you tough, huh. >> four los angeles police officers who appeared in that videotape of the rodney king beating went on trial today. >> 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 the officers were being sent to a very friendly venue and certainly more friendly venue than a downtown l.a. jury would have been. >> the defense picked apart the videotape and every image was turned around to say see where king is threatening the police officers. it's not about race. it's about king resisting. >> you d

it's also true that black neighborhoods get less services even affluent black neighborhoods.rocery store. the consequence of all that is because schools are funded by virtue of local taxes. is that yes the schools are poor because if the schools don't have nearly as much money and nearly as much investment and nearly as many adults who can supplement the school funding because of white flight then the question you are posing at the individual level is that i don't want to live there because these things are better. at individual level, sure. it's important to understand that the whole structure is a consequence of how race is functioned and if we want to change it it's going to require that people live in neighborhoods that they think are undesirable and contribute to them.>> one of the things we like to do with every author that appears on in depth is asked what he or she is reading and some of their favorite books. imani perry listed two toni morrison books mercy and song of solomon along with herman melville moby dick, molson hamid exit west and pablo neruda canto general.

was an early black hills frontier and a modern black hills -- he helped that transition along. he may have helped transform it in his way when he was the advisor of the u.s. marshal and did good for the entire black hills, but he is probably not the great transformational figure that other can claim title to in deadwood. >> right now, we are inside the information center, which is the home base for the city of presidents foundation and rapid city has come to be known as the city of presidents. this was bought by the founder of the foundation to come and see, more and as you can we are surrounded by the miniatures of the sculptures that are displayed in downtown rapid city. downtown, there are full-sized to's statues, and we chose have the statues depict something about the presidents. they are not just stationary statues with them standing with their hands in their pockets. they are on their hips, so it actually shows something about the president's life. you see them in various poses that tell something about their story. ande are biographies hung, that is how the section of t

we are sending free blacks away. many emitting blacks -- many mitting blacksnu and sending them away. the main goal is to get blacks out of the country. this is not anti-slavery. we of course have the missouri compromise slavery appears on the national stage. what do we get? we get slavery in missouri. right? yes, there is a promise slavery won't go past 3630, but slavery is there. slavery as part of the country, part of the world and it is growing. now, that is not to say there aren't opponents of slavery. one more thing. the new york emancipation law. think about this. new york. new york can't figure out how to emancipate it some slaves. it passes emancipation loss, as does new jersey. massachusetts, that are poor, that do not have slaves, get rid of slaves immediately. places like new york, which actually have small but significant slave populations will get rid of slavery by abolishing it gradually, which means everyone born after 1800 is going to be free when they are 21 or 25. what about the people born in 1799

girls and black women. not recognize how you have black police officers who benefit from the fact that they shot and killed was black and latino as opposed to a white woman in minnesota. these are things we have to recognize and my work -- then i'll shut up. [laughter] one of the things i want us to do is shift from perpetrator and victim. when we have a victim perspective, we are fundamentally focused, it does not matter who is doing this to a series of black girls, they have targeted these black girls and that is a racist. we are more focused on outcome as opposed to intense. the intent language has allowed so many racist in the last years to continuously pray on people of color and say that was not my intent. but if were focused on outcome it completely changes the dialogue.

walker is a black woman. i am a black woman. oppression and limitation in her lifetime. i have experienced them on a different my experience of connecting to the national parks and maggie l. walker site was due to sherry jackson. office andng in my sherry started reaching out to me to talk about the people in maggie walker's neighborhood. she was talking about william washington brown, who had been enslaved, escaped slavery, and settled in a home not far from maggie walker's house. she was looking to reach out to us to research about him as a freedom seeker. as she talked, she studied saying, it is not what you have been taught in school. it is not everyone moving to canada. secretly everyone going through the swamps and fields and crossing into freedom. sometimes, freedom seeking is someone leaving and hiding in the woods for a time. sought to who has free themselves. even if it was going into the next town. as we sat talking, i looked behind me, and saw a picture of james field that my grandmother had given to me, and i realized that james fields had escaped to fort mo

also open season on black bodies.do -- there's a study that says if you're ever held up at gunpoint, you should tell them personal things about yourself, you should say i have a child, you should say my mother's on her death bed and i want to see her , go all those things, because what happens is the gunman now empathizes with you and now sees you as a human and makes them more difficult to kill you. so with my art, i'm wondering if i can humanize black people enough, maybe they will stop killing us. >> trevor: it captured a complexity i truly enjoy in any storytelling and that is the complexity of black joy and black pain. >> absolutely. >> trevor: i often say to people, you know, people will say, like, on "the daily show" if anything, as black people, how do you laugh and this and that. black people can't wait for everything to be right to black. >> even in the midst of oppression, we find joy because we don't have a choice. i think, for me, the movie is something everyone can come see because everyone should come e

it has closed between whites and blacks. i think that's great for black people.irst step act has released i think maybe about 3,000 prisoners. i think that's great for black people. >> he pulled this out of the clean air and water act, he pulled us out of the paris climate agreement. i understand economically and money wise this is all great. it is all great. but the way we look like internationally, the way we look is terrible and the things we are doing to our own country with the oil spills and everything, it doesn't give me hope. i don't want to keep proceeding like this. >> the president is setting the tone. whoever the president is, and that's one of my concerns, is that the united states is losing its credibility around the world. you know, we're ruining relationships with allies and, you know, there are these huge world problems and you need support from allies. and, you know, there are these huge world problems and you need support from everybody from various countries in order to solve them. particularly, climate change. so this idea that obama didn't d

the black people are certainly not paying attention. >> your magazine put out a survey of black womenically earlier this year. 83% gave the president a failing grade. what kind of candidate did you find in that survey that african-american women specifically are looking for this time around? >> someone willing to be held accountable, someone willing to come and meet black women where we are, talk about our issues around housing, around police brutality. we understand brutality is a reproductive justice issue in many ways. we want to raise our children safely, have them in good schools and in good schools and safe neighborhoods without having to worry about gentrification and assimilate into other pep's culture. there are a lot of things we're worried about. elizabeth warren is resonating with black women voters specifically, especially our readers. she's done a couple of op-eds around maternal mortality, closing the school to prison pipelines. those things matter. bernie sanders has focused on a multiethic, cross generational coalition of people. there's 50% of this country who don't

"open season", legalized genocide of black people. as you say in your opening your invoke the commission against genocide and there is an intentional genocide against certain people, people of african americans in this country and it's what the book says. in a matter of fact you say they there's a conspiracy that lots of people, u.s. presidents, supreme court, all have furthered the genocide of black people. at the end of the book you talk about your faith in the united states constitution. you say i'm steadfast in my belief that the solution to overcoming legalize discrete nation and ultimately genocide resides within the constitution. i am wondering do you see a tension between that gripping and depressing diagnosis of the problem and you are safe in law as a way to remedy it? >> i do see a tension. even at the founding of our nation there was tension because the original sin was slavery. we never have addressed it ful fully. even when you think about the civil war and the 13, 14, 15th amendment and the so-called civil rights amendm

men, enslaved men and freed blacks fought as soldiers in confederate army, how many, similar between 500 roughly and 100,000. okay. [laughter] >> i mean, i wish i could really narrow it down for you but that is sort of where people come down on this issue anywhere roughly 500 and 100,000, right off the bat you get a sense that there's something wrong here, problematic with this narrative, but, again, for those people who are committed to this narrative of black confederate soldiers, this is all the evidence they need and what they don't understand, of course, for a number of reasons which i will go into is that, in fact, what you're looking at is image of interracial military service in the confederacy, you're actually looking at an image from the history of slavery because what you're looking at the right, you are looking at enslaved man, he moved with the family to west point mississippi in 1840's and when the war start in spring of 1861 the man on the left andrew chandler inlested in 44th mississippi infantry and like many enlisted and officers from slave-holding class, they would

it's not just a black community. white, black, whatever has lost its faith. but particularly the black community. the role of the preacher was so strong. you would think a remember sawrns is possible like that? >> i feel it. i have been praying for it. i think the church has been praying for a revival and awakening to hearts and minds back to their first love. so many blacks and americans period in this country once had a childlike faith in god and believed in him and trusted in him. i think there is an awakening that's coming. kanye is the tip of the spear for that. i just don't think most believers thought it would come through somebody like kanye. david: miracles do happen, and some of them happen in the least likely places. but on to the politics of all this. i wonder how black america can continue to vote for empty promises when a man donald trump fulfilled a lot of those promises, particularly on jobs numbers which are better than they have been before for black america. to deliver, rather than just to pander. >> the democrats don't have anything to off

black friday is here and it's actually turning into black thursday. they say last night the crowds were crazy. they couldn't even find parking. here's the crowds from an hour ago. it's a little quiet right now. just enough to keep it fun and festive but not too many to make it miserable. i had to ask some shoppers is there anything here they could have gotten at home on their computer sns computers? >> you get the deals on your computer, but you can't try things on. it's worth coming here but definitely some things we could have waited for cybermonday for. >> okay. >> was it fun? >> oh. we had a blast. we can't believe we're still up. we had one starbucks, we're cool. >> okay. would you do it again? >> oh, yeah. >> would you do it again? >> i would. >> they're having fun. you're looking at the gap. it is very crowded. it's at capacity and there's a line to get in. the store is jammed. so many people and kind of a mess as they go through all those sweaters to decide which one they have to have. i asked people would you do it again? they said they would

we don't do the black friday shopping. sometimes we'll do like shopping online while my mom is not looking but usually she's like this is family time! not for these folks although some of them are here shopping with their families, so i guess that's a good deal. we have these ladies, what did you buy? tell me what you bought. >> i bought a lot of clothes, bags. >> reporter: for yourself or presents? >> some were presents, most of it myself. >> reporter: what time did you get here? >> 12:00. >> reporter: you got here at midnight. did you have thanksgiving dinner before you came? >> yes. kind of rushed one but yes. >> reporter: i'm thankful, let's eat the turkey, let's go. happy thanksgiving. >> you, too. >> reporter: happy black friday. i want to show you the line for sta buc starbucks, this is apparently how people are sustaining themselves through the shopping frenzy. look at the line here. this is one of the longer lines here at the mall this morning. they've been open here since 3:00 this afternoon. yesterday, not this

i sasay that because when you tk about the black vote, black women really need to move the black votethat is because of our voting strength and the fact we influence our families and all of our significant others. when you say there's a big surge in the black vote, that is because black women did not just show up -- we are going to show up, but we're also going to encourage our families and communitieies to do that. many times we are leading a lot of the work and becoming more unapologetic about demanding respect for that, whether it is the democratic party or the progressive community, to understand we are not just a voting block, we are also leaders in this thing. appreciatearound -- -- i was going to say congresswoman. >> please, don't start that. >> m my sister gilda for what they're doing here. environment of justice, it is critical when you talk about impacting health, issues impacting economic justice. because of the impact it has on our community. people, who are just a little people, who are just a little bit younger than us, demand a critical issue. amy: why isn't terminal j

blacks for trump or african-americans for trump? >> blacks for trump! blacks for trump!ing me now is keith boykin and joseph pinion. what do you prefer to be called black or african-american? >> i prefer trump not to address me at all. >> keith, here's more of president trump's pitch to the black community. watch this. >> the republican party was the original home of african-americans, and now african-americans are returning. it was a hundred-year trip if you think about it. through every african-american across our land, you don't have to choose to leave the democrat party because the democrat party already left you a long time ago. today we say welcome to the republican party. >> what do you think of his arguments for -- it sounds like for the black vote, it sounds a lot like the black vote, 2016 when he said what else do you have to lose? >> it's a defeatist argument and not a sincere argument and it's designed to appeal to his white base, to convince them they are not racist and to a select tiny minuscule group of people who happen to be black trump supporters. but t

theposter child for unconstitutional harassment of black and brown bodies is asking black and brown democrats to elect him president? is he out of his mind? that is like the scorpion asking to becoming of the frogs. interesting, pragmatic centrist policies, but absolutely no support in the black and brown communities for he has not done the work. he has not done the grassroots organizing. he thinks he will buy his way in and he has not answered for one of the most destructive policies toward the african-american and latino american communities. host: and you take that policy in light of everything he has done as american politician as well? guest: he does not have the record of promoting black and brown issues. he does have a great record on philanthropy and gun rights. he has been very strong on guns. nanny stateome policies which some people like in some people don't. i go back to the organizational aspect. how will you parachute in to the middle of this race having done none of the work these other candidates have an expect that's going to work out for you? this man was defending stop and

violence that we're talking about black lines and black black black movies i mean there's plenty of on screen violence in white protagonists i mean but you never seem to see the small pox around the film or on the james bond movie or even around marvel films plenty of the marvel movies to it only seems to be connected to urban movies that is black movies i almost think if people are trying to make the argument that white audiences can deal with on screen violence but black audiences can't and i think particular this case i think we're confusing cause and effect the main story is connected to real life it's a depiction of what rock man has seen on the streets of london but instead of saying these are problems we have to deal with politically it seems we're almost scapegoating the victims and blaming them for the situation that they're in. so all this controversy just quickly comes at the same time as a french film dealing with similar themes has had a very different reception in france tell us quickly about the need and how the french public has reacted. similar things certain simila
