michael brown and freddie gray were on the wall. i wasn't at the riots, but i see here other blacks. the fact i was here in brazil during the incident and watch someone commemorate here is cool. and to know that initially i thought a lot of people know, but people walking past "i know them from tv", it's nice. it's a good memorial and all that stuff. >> it's not nice to know ferguson and baltimore are known as a place where people are killed. still very sad. today i'm getting a tattoo. it's a portuguese translation of some of us are brave. i felt like that summed up what it means to be black and female. that's what i learnt in el salvador. my journey is about being brave. el salvador always you see it. i'm not looking forward to being thrust back into the anger and hate. i've been living in one of the most dangerous cities, with one of the most violent forces against the people. and they are still there. even in their misery and suffering, they smile at each other, and they are affectionate. they have not lost site of that. it's sur

decision that included 200 plaintiff's total, so just by history, we refer to it as the brown familywhere it is a piece of a larger story. the facilities here in the monroe school were excellent. when a lot of people walk in the building, if they're old enough to remember going to kindergarten in a school like this, it looks like what they attended whether they were white or black. but he was simply one of the 13 parents who was recruited, and nationwide, there were actually five cases that were a part of the brown the facility was excellent, so this serves to remind people that education is about being in a safe place, where you can learn from people who are sympathetic to you and can understand you, and that is exactly what was happening at this monroe school. this was an excellent experience, and then when they go to see exhibits of what schools were like in south carolina, virginia, the district of columbia, and they see what african-american communities and endure, they could see. be verytopeka, you'd hard pressed to determine whether white students are african-american students

it's not honest. >> brown: another regular target: politicians.ain, captured in their own words. >> i've been coloring my hair for years. >> brown: but politicians on both sides of the aisle sought out the daily show. some conservatives might rail against what they see as stewart's liberal bent, but, candidate mike huckabee have been regulars. huckabee joined stewart nine times. new york democratic senator kirsten gillibrand, interviewed by stewart on five occasions, told us how he influenced members of congress and their staffs. >> if he has a great episode about something we have been working on, then we rush to that's what he certainly did with the 9/11 health bill. that's what something that was very languishing-- languishing the house for seven years without any movement, it had gone nowhere in the senate. he framed the issue so effectively that there wasn't a member of congress who can stand up against him particularly in the senate. when we passed that bill, it was unanimous. and there is so few people you can say that about who can shift n

brown may not have been all that innocent that day.we saw the surveillance video from inside the store. prosecutors say he robbed the store, he pushed the clerk, we heard that he knobbed off at officer wilson and the grand jury said he reached for the gun. this is what we know from facts we are getting from within the legal system. whether or not you agree with those facts or not. so how do you sort of take some of those facts that are out there and still be able to push forward with this movement to make an impact on younger generations of black men coming into this movement and growing up within this movement, what do they take from this? >> let's take a step back and think about the context of what is legal. at one point slavery was legal. at one point jim crow was legal. just because it's legal doesn't mean it's moral. also doesn't mean that shooting a black kid is actually moral as well. so when we get to the nuances ns around the language, it becomes more problematic, black communities see the trend that continues to happen over

> correct. >> brown: you see a growing need. >> i do.igion will be around for a very long time, but it's true that secularism is on the rise and it's growing rapidly and it's grown in the last 20 years. the problem with a lot of parents in this particular group is that they are trying to raise their kids in this era of transition or this era of change. so let's come up with a way that we can talk to our kids about religion that's completely honest, that values critical thinking, that values religious tolerance and literacy and so kids can make up their own minds. >> brown: give me an example of a common dilemma that parents find when it comes to raising their children vis-a-vis religion. >> there are quite a few. i did a survey of a thousand non-religious parents to find out exactly that, and the top reasons cited was people weren't sure how to talk about religion without indoctrinating their kids into what they believed themselves. that was a hard line. the other one was interacting with religious family members and keeping the peace in

>> no, i don't think michael brown died in vain.ho in his short time on this earth his impact is still being felt a year later after his death. what happened to mike brown that day resonated with so many people because it was another case of an unarmed young man being killed when we think there could have been deescalation tactics, it could have been another way to handle that i th incident that didn't result in anybody being hurt. so i think one of the things that's happened in the last year is to spark the conversation about how we police in this country. and that think that's an important first step. i think enough progress hasn't been made yet in the last year abry pairing some of the things we've identified with how we place the country but we've had important steps and being able to get these issues on the forefront has been important. >> i can't thank you enough. alderman french, cedric alexander, it's sad we convene on this occasion but this conversation is all important. thank you both, appreciate it. >> thank you for havin

willie brown was the target of fbi investigations in the past.t is interesting, somebody -- an insider this week noted to me there was never this kind of suspicion around mayor gavin newsom, for all his enemies in town and all his faults. but i do think that, you know, there have been questions around ed lee and his association with willie brown and with chinatown powerhouse rose park ever since he was appointed our mayor and decided to run after promising he wouldn't. there were multiple investigations and accusations leveled against the independent expenditure account that pushed him to run that was very heavily involved with bruin and pak. there was actually allegations that that same group was essentially engaging in voter fraud around the election by filling out ballots for people in chinatown. >> he's not running unopposed. there's election in november, there's no one running against him. >> that's the fascinating thing. unless we see some explosive indictment, i don't think this is going to affect his political career in the short-term. yo
