but it is stokely carmichael. when we think about stokely carmichael and what he represents and why he is so important -- he is not just appear activist for radical democracy. after becoming a black power activist he is a full blown revolutionary being an anti-war activist and critic of the system. he provides a context for the black panther party. 1965-1966 it is carmichael who goes to lions, county alabama the buckle of the black belt and helping local people and others organize for democracy in this county that is 80% african-american and no black public officials. 50 years later we have similar instances now. but in 1965 trying to organize there was hugely dangerous. they organized a freedom organization whose nickname is the black panther party. and that symbol travels all the way to oakland, california when we think about the black panther party for self-defense. so when we think about stokely carmichael who is going to be named honorary prime minister he is going to provide a platform for the anti-war movem

and he remembered he instantly liked stokely carmichael. among young people and activist he had a good reputation. he was stubborn and cracked wise jokes. king loved him like a little brother. stokely wasn't in awe of anyone. >> host: congressman clyburn would you agree with that? >> guest: yes. i was in south carolina, i remember, we went to raleigh, north carolina easter weekend in 1960. part of that where talk about in my book because you take rosa par parks. parks was a phenomenal part of the case and when you read the court case that desegregated transit there was a footnote in the rosa parks case that said we didn't have to determine the rule on this issue. we have already made that determination in the case of sarah flemming versus the south carolina electric and gas company. there was a lot going on in south carolina but we were not a media center and therefore you will not read and hear a lot about it. you write a lot about john lewis. he talked about having been arrested this morning. the first time he was every physically attacke

while we'll be doing the event at betsy carmichael it is a city-wide event. there are at least nine of our supervisors are going to be walking to schools in their districts with students from their districts throughout the city. nearly 90 schools and more than 13,000 students are expected to celebrate the day which will be a new record in term of participation. so, the school district and other schools are really stepping up the city through rec and park, department of public health, the mta and other -- the police department, strong partnership to try to raise the awareness of walk and roll to school day. the safe routes to school partnership in san francisco, of which our agency is a part, helps organize the day. what the partnership does is implement the federally funded safe routes to school program to encourage more families to walk, bike, take transit or car pool to and from school. dph, public health is the lead agency and has lots of other public and private partner. so, it will be a good -- should be a great morning if the weather holds a it should,

just type in kwame ture and stokely carmichael and you will be able to watch that.gentlemen we are running out of time. mr. clyburn we have referenced ferguson a couple of times here in this conversation. what's going to happen when congress comes back with regard to the hearings, legislative action especially perhaps a lot of the talk was about the militarization of the police force. do you foresee any legislative action on behalf of congress? >> guest: oh yes i do especially regarding the militarization of the police forces. i think to have police officers decked out in camouflage, sit in the top of these mraps many of which are made in my district and i know why they are made. they are there for ieds, ieds that were really maiming people. they were made for the city streets. these things were made for war and for you to dress as if you are going to war for you to talk to people as if you had war with them. this is the kind of thing that is absolutely incredible. i think that congress is going to seek a response to that. the president really made it clear that he

while the vessel was here their personnel visited four san francisco schools, carmichael middle school and martin luther king jr. and carver elementary on oak dale and they were able to get out and integrate with the community and went out on the town and walked up and down in embarcadero. they were incredibly welcomed. the admirals of all the military prachs -- branches that cover the west coast and fema, epa gathered and we had very good meetings on resiliency and the ability to respond and what the navy might do in the event of a response and how to community through the various channels to get what we need it it was one of the best we've been to. it calls the historical benchmark and the marine fleet memorial sold stamp envelopes of the ship and i would like to than connors of the ferry building. was a really hot day and she invited them to set up shop which is usually a no no, but they sold a lot of souvenir stamps through the post office together. that was the commissioning. it was a great success. fleet week was chaired by the general michael might of the marine corp, retires an

the carmichael girl mistakenly took a bite of a rice crispy par with peanut butter.hey used epi pens. that's a sad story, so sorry for that family. they're trying to help educate people. you brought one of these pens. most of us call it the epi pen. charlotte, how do you use this? what's the trick? >> these are the training pens, don't have the needle or medication inside. normally, would you like to take one? normally what you would do, you take out this blue pen and then once the pin is taken out, inject into the meat or leg of the thigh, wait four or five econds. >> front of the thigh. >> you wait for a clicking sound. count one, two, three, four, five. then take it out. the pen should have already come out by now. >> what are the side effects. >> heart rate, feeling of anxiety, shortness of breath. always best when you have to use the auto injector to call 911. usually they take the pen with them as they take to you the hospital, monitor symptoms. symptoms don't do last long, it is like a hit of adrenaline how quick it washes over us, passes and fades. the risk o

and there is more about bessie carmichael school in the work-group hand outs. and we are working on what i call the city vision work group. we are working to look ahead. we know that the 24-24 is important goal by the city. but we need more to achieve zero deaths, and we have a review of safety practices based on what is happening in the united states, and other cities implementing vision zero and as well as our peer cities. and looking to other countries such as sweden and australia, to see what they are doing in best practices of safety. and comparing that to the work in san francisco, as well as we know of our best practices. and this review will help us in short and longer-term strategies for achieving vision zero in san francisco, and feeding into our longer term planning. once we complete our tier action strategy, and timothy mentioned we will engage with this committee about our findings and opportunities for the longer-term strategy. and finally and really importantly, with respect to communications, a contract has been signed with d & a consultants tha

community bilingual supporters that the advocacy around filipino bilingual education continues at betsy carmichael school, where the [speaker not understood] after school program [speaker not understood] is still run 40 years after mr. [speaker not understood] served on the citizens bilingual task force. today it is really wonderful to honor [speaker not understood] given that san francisco recently certified tagalog as a language covered under our city's language access ordinance. with mr. [speaker not understood]'s family here today, i wanted to share with them that our office has been working to build upon his legacy by improving language access for all through strengthening the language access ordinance to something that was spearheaded by supervisor chiu here. mr. [speaker not understood]'s legacy will continue to impact our communities. he was a gem in our district and has impacted so many through his service to our city. and i don't know if this is up and running now, but we recently, mr. [speaker not understood] was actually honored by asian, inc., so, we do have a video that they played t

we have one small elementary school, and we have betsy carmichael and which their little school was designed to be a very small little school and actually all of our elementary schools are small elementary schools and have the capacity of about 400 or 500 and so i think that it causes us to pause and rethink a little bit about where, or what we need to do with our existing properties and also, if our school population changes, and we see a increase, we may need to look at new administrative offices that can also support and accommodate this new growth in our student enrollment. that will mean that we will need to look at probably a new administrative office, or build on our existing one consider thating our administrative offices are all over the city and not in one location, and so i think this is very timely to have this conversation and what commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell mentioned about what is happening in the mission, and we can't look at one development, and i think that it would not be prudent or wise to look at one development without looking in isolation and that we would need to l

>> i think you don't look too far to see any previous civil actions with a young carmichael or a youngm riders. they don't have much patience. you lock at all these young, emerging leaders and they don't have time to talk to a clergy member or retired postal worker. they were here 65 days getting fired at with rubber bullets and the tear gas. i talked to torrey russell, who delivered this fiery speech last night. he said, they come down here now and tell us how to organize and take action in the street. but we've been taking action for 65 days. they pointed to one prominent civil rights leader to came to town trying to offer training on civil disobedience and nonviolent protests and she's getting paid for that. that frustrated him to no end. >> there's some polling out that shoals how wide the racial gap is in metro st. louis. this is polling, 600 st. louis residents. when asked if the shooting of the teen was justified, 62% of whites said it was, along with 35% of blacks. you see a 30-point margin there. how palpable is that on the street there? >> it's palpable, but on the other hand

the students of betsy carmichael elementary school received a special escort from san francisco policehief and the mayor ed lee. civic leaders are hoping to encourage kids to walk to class that will promote healthier living and it's also good for the environment. >> glad they had fun doing that. >>> it's no secret the cost of living in san francisco is affecting many people, especially teachers. >> the affordability crisis is just one reason why san francisco schools will soon really have a hard time recruiting teachers. >> abc 7 news education reporter lyanne melendez explains. >> reporter: their stories have been told before. teachers not able to find an affordable apartment in san francisco. >> i thought it was two bedroom and it was a studio for $2500, then they were offering me a two bedroom for $3500 which is going to be over 50% of what i make. >> reporter: she and her daughter are still living with her aunt. buying into the housing market is not even a consideration for frank. >> i think an apartment, sharing an apartment right now, which i'm currently in that housing situation

the older chicanou they're more about assimilation, i said why can't we do like carmichael? they said why don't u you do it. so i hooked up with the young chicano for community action, which became the brown berets. the big connection with the black panthers, bobby sele giving us the red book and then john huggins achnd bungee carte. they founded the gang in south l.a., but they founded the black panther party and they came to east l.a. to say let's work together. i said who are these guys? i could relate to it because i'm from south l.a., i had already moved to east l.a. by then erp they believe to bridge that. and bungee and john were eventually assassinated at ucla, but they had the forethought to talk about black and brown unity. here's a picture of me, i don't know where that was. but there i am, angry young chicanos, when we became conscious, we thought the problem was the whiteman, chicano power supported black power. i think that they be one of the reasons we got the notoriety, but by then we were already becoming more radicalized, the vietnam war, the black panthers

carmichael. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i would like to start in regarding this debate and i would like to commend them for the role in the course of this referendum campaign. no one has the passion and enthusiasm with the contribution that he needs to secure this and i know that like me he felt that he was talking about this for himself and also for his children and their generation. and this includes giving him a legacy in which this will be to pass. mr. speaker, i would like to make a few observations, first of all, on the general state of things today. and then i will come talk about this by the gentleman in his speech. and this has been a topic of referendum and the consequences have never been far from this. and i welcome this. it is a good and right thing for this. and it needs to be part of the country, which improves its resources. scotland has come through a long time of uncertainty. this has put an end to this. with a positive choice from over 2 million people in scotland to remain within the united kingdom, to w

everybody who came through, everybody from stokely carmichael to dr. king and it was an experience. it was fascinating. there were several stories about the movement in the book. -- at old miss now, and among the things i tell my students is, that quotes really help make stories. you can think you're a wonderful writer but if you don't have good anecdotes and quotes and good description and good stories to write about, you're going to be spinning your wheels. and i'm going to start off basically with not something i wrote but quotes. the first one involved a visit that dr. king made to the delta in the spring of '68. turns out it was the last days of his life and he was there trying to rally support for the poor people's campaign. imagine here is a man with a nobel prize winner, major figure in the movement. i was only reporter covering him for a couple of days, traveling around the delta. dr. king was with jose williams and ralph abernathy. they drove around in a big sedan. i followed behind them in my little volkswagen beetle. one of the events was at a black church in marks, miss
