on on the podium the winning podium they won their races and this became an iconic image for the black berry going forward and as far as images go today in the 21st century 20 twentieth's not so much those photos that capture iconic moments but it's about means it's about twitter it's about social media so how are how are you finding life on social media sense this video dropped of you at the black lives matter moment preaching the merits of because you know it has gone viral it has blown up what's what's been going on in the last week or so and your life eric not much people are just really appreciated really appreciative about. no i think it gave it a 2nd wind so the big point community led as it was a reminder why we're all here what we're all doing and why we're putting so much time into this project. i also wanted people to but i don't want the next is to get lost so i don't want people of the focus on me i want people to start figuring out how they can and here and break this where some of the big point works and what i you know let's keep it going and asters let's get out in our commu

applause dr daina berry is historian and the author of a black women's history of the united states.texas. thanks very much for talking to us. thanks very much for talking to us. thank you so much for having me. so what you make of this focus, there hasn't been a focus on juneteenth, this focus, there hasn't been a focus onjuneteenth, certainly in recent years. well, actually, i'd beg to differ, it may not be a focus on mainstream america but juneteenth has been celebrated since the moment african—americans in since the moment african—america ns in texas under the freedom in 1865 and they started having formalise celebrations as early as a year later in 1866 and in cities like houston, there are large parts, where african—america ns go every year and celebrate and these are now becoming much more multicultural celebrations of parades and speeches and all kinds of things. so maybe the large media hasn't heard of juneteenth, but many african—americans juneteenth, but many african—america ns have. juneteenth, but many african-americans have. and what did you make of the fact that the pr

i would love to show the evolution of a haddie mcdaniels to halle berry and how roles for black women necessarily moved since this movie. like, there's a lot of discussions that could be had, but i don't like the pulling of art just because it may offend people, you know when it was made. i think discussion needs to happen, and hbo can do a really good thing here. >> good point. so much of it. where is the conversation with that. i want to ask you both -- >> brianna -- sorry. i didn't mean to interrupt you. a good question. a lot of the conversation we have today are movies that people think are problematic, made today, that depict white savior, whether "the help," "green book" movied like athe bli -- "the blind side." and they were made in modern days. there is a place to have discussions around these movie, and things like this for sure. >> you're right, nichelle. "driving miss daisy." there's too many movies. right? do we go back through each and every one? i don't think that's the answer, but the conversation. like, these movies don't exist in a vacuum and the actors portrayed in

anguish as we grieve for the hundreds of black americans killed by racial injustice and police brutality including george floyd briana taylor and amid our berry and so many others now with these protests of the day today the number of people coming out and support there's actually resoundingly meant to make this an official federal holiday now recently president donald trump he has gotten a lot of criticism for his remarks about the holiday in an interview with the wall street journal he said quote i did something good i made juneteenth very famous it's actually an important event an important time but nobody had ever heard of it now trouble originally had a rally scheduled for june 19th and told to oklahoma where in 1021 a mob of white residents massacred black residents. it's believed as many as 300 people died but after taking criticism during these ongoing protests on police brutality and racism manilla try to move the date actually to saturday june 20th quote out of respect fair and in regards to these protests we now have the air force inspector general investigating the air national guard's use of recognizance planes to monitor those r

voice was mean and deep and if you ever looked into his eyes, they were, like, black like he had no soul. >> amanda berryfirst went missing, her mother was on the tv pleading for her return. >> my daughter should not be kept off the news like that. she ain't dead yet. but it's just so frustrating living daily. >> one day seemed like a week, so the week became months. and everyday we just passed out flyers. >> we had thousands of leads throughout ohio. we searched 200 homes, and we expanded the grid and expanded the search to the other side of the state. >> as remote as it is, there's still hope for the family. >> you know, every day is hard to see her not walk through that door or not say good morning. >> my hopes are in there. they're trying to stay as strong as can be. but with no answers and not a lead, not a clue, not nothing, that's what's hard because you don't know. >> the news comes at like 5:00, 5:30 now, so day after day i watched a lot of tv. >> the holidays are coming and going, and my baby ain't home. and i'm like -- that kept me going. and i said, you know what? i'm gonna make it home to yo

berry. i'm thinking for example of mitt romney, longtime republican politician and senator who walked in one of the blackd and professed himself to be a supporter of black lives matter. some black people will say, hang on a minute, that is ridiculous. this is pure hypocrisy. we are not ready to work with people like mitt romney. what do you say?” to work with people like mitt romney. what do you say? i say that i knew mitt romney's father, george, when i was at the university of michigan. he was governor during the detroit riots in 1967, and when he was secretary during the nixon administration, he was a very wonderful, moderate republican and a man with high ethics. and when his son came on the scene, i kept hoping he was going to be like his father. maybe as time goes on he is becoming more like him, and if so, that's great. let me get to donald trump. you've referred to him already. he — and we all know it now, over the last couple of weeks has been tweeting like crazy. and some of those tweets have stuck in people's mines. the one i'm looking at right now is, any difficulty, he's talking about what h

berry joins us. >>> plus, racism, demoy and a health crisis. all pandemics hiing the blackcommunity the worst. >>> using force against peaceful protesters is a mistake. >> america's former top military isaacson about why he could no longer stay silent.

because of -- [inaudible] i had to watch the ah mawed around berry video, but it hurt me to watch it -- [inaudible] we shouldn't have to see black and brown bodies be murdered on video. it should not be that way. but i think the fact that people are seeing these videos, that we are having these frank conversations, vice president biden spoke out on ahmaud arbery and spoke antibiotic a number of times. it -- about it a number of timings. it helps bring awareness. the criminal justice task force between the biden campaign and the sanders campaign, what will come out of this is a report, drafting committee. so i'm excited about the conversations we're going to have. i know some people who are like how are you on criminal justice? because i am a former member of the -- [inaudible] committee on juvenile justice and the coalition for juvenile justice national young and emerging leaders. so i'm very excited about the work we're going to do, a lot of the work -- congressman bobby scott is one of the co-chairs, and i know he's going to put us to work. but hopefully, i'm very hopeful and i know what will emerge will be ad good foundationa

berry hasn't been the mayor of d.c. this century, right? tom cotton was just doing the thing that he was naming black people that he knows from d.c.ised he didn't say oh, do you want robert griffin iii or john wall to be your senator? come on. that's what he was doing. but the beauty of racism is that it means that you don't have to have an argument, right? like the republican party is worried about d.c. state hood because they have no argument to try to convince african american voters to vote for them. right? african american voters have just proven in this democratic primary that it's not exactly like african americans are particularly progressives. the african american vote is a religiously conservative vote in lots of places, but the republicans have no argument for that community. they can't convince that community. and so they're only -- >> right. >> -- their only game is to suppress the vote of that community and not have representative. i find it amazing to me. and i'll say this honestly, chris. like i am a middle class african american male with a wife and two kids who lives in the suburbs. the fact that the republican p

black teenager also in anytown u.s.a. who watched walter scott get shot in the back in south carolina. mr. stauber: who saw awe berry and saw george floyd murdered at the hands of police. and who is germly afraid and uncertain if he leaves his home and goes out to the store for his mother, he may not come become. these communities feel abandoned. they feel left behind by their government. and by sitting in this chamber today in bringing up a bill that so partisan that it will go nowhere after its consideration here. you are proving them right. you are telling that black teenager and that officer that heir concerns can wait until afflecks day. mr. speaker, my motion to recommit asks that we reconsider both stories, both perspectives. my motion to recommit, which is the justice act, was a product of senator tim scott and i sharing two different stories and finding solutions that senator inhofe: expire real change. the justice act make the necessary reforms that should have been made a long time ago. i know when it comes to hiring an officer, there is no room for mistakes. this justice act improves access to prior disc
