in fact, when governor governor of north carolina sought to broker a surrender the state of north carolina, governor morehead was called upon to be sort of the broker of that peace. morehead discussed how to sur surrender the state to both sides and able to bridge the generals from the union side and governor vance from the confederate side and sur rerndrendered the state in this room. by the time the surrender came along he was not in the best of health. he lived in a world that included slavery. it included a situation where women were not allowed to own property, were not allowed to vote. the state was in situation where people could grow wonderful crops and make wonderful things but they didn't have a market. i think he was frustrated these things were true. i think he began to establish a system that would change that. i think he was taking a first step. i think he would be incredibly pleased to see first steps he began to take back in the 1840s and '50s, in transportation, education, individual freedoms and social issues and even design that we took that and have continues that momen

governor morehead was the governor of north carolina from 1841 to 1845. he was popular governor through his ideas of reform and industry and human rights. his political career really began early through his education in law. after he graduated from the caldwell academy here in greensboro he went on to the university of north carolina in chapel hill. he graduated from there as a lawyer. quickly found more business here in greensboro. he found his wife here. quickly found a place in government. when he was here as an elected official he worked closely with a large quaker community. he took on issues of internal improvement in the state. he took up issues with slavery, which is unusual for a politician in the south working with the quakers. he took, adopted other important issues to the quakers such as education. that really began to form his political platform. governor morehead was one of the first candidates tahat ran a statewide candidacy. he was a great orator and personal personable. he won by a good margin and started his term in 1841. governor morehe

lee is to get the army of northern virginia down into north carolina. that was hit objective upon leaving richmond and petersburg and that never changed. lee can't make that turn to the south because union forces keep blocking the way. the union armies are pursuing lee behind him but they have also gotten around in front of him by the time they get to appomattox courthouse. this map shows the final battle which takes place on the morning of april 9th. confederates initially pushed the union troopers back but as republican reenforcements arrive they realize they cannot breakthrough and the army surrounded on three sides with the river on the other side. lee and grant will meet that very afternoon of april 9th. one of the things that makes the appomattox surrender unique is we have this active campaign and right up to the last minute there was fighting. we don't know who the last casualty was. there's probably no way to know because fighting spread out all around the village. one of the possible candidates is 18-year-old william montgomery montgomery, a s

i tell you what one south carolina officer who used to be a student of mine who moved to south carolina, he was like thank you so much officer in north charleston for putting a bigger target on my back. most of these men and women are doing a hard job with people in their worst moments and there are millions of interactions that go just fine with no, no use of force. this was wrong what happened. and as a profession, we lose credibility, if we don't come out and admit it was wrong. and i'm glad he was charged. and i hope that the process continues to go forward. and we see that justice is done. and -- but it should not besmirch the name of every police officer out there. >> i understand that. but you understand what's being said in the african american community. >> oh yeah, absolutely. >> they are not surprised with this they believe it's been going on for decades and decades in the african american community and the police officer just got caught this time. >> uh-huh. in some cases that is absolutely true. what i say to folks i've had this discussion all the time as a criminal justice

now let's look in south carolina. what we know now, and we don't know everything, but we know from that videotape that we've seen that this man was shot in the back, five times i'm hearing. we haven't seen an autopsy report. he's a good distance from the officer, doesn't seem to be posing a physical threat to the officer or anybody else at that point. it clearly looks, if you apply the fleeing felon doctrine, like an excessive use of force. >> apply that then to a cop on the street. how are police officers trained? how do you translate that legal framework to training a police officer when you are face down with a split-second decision? >> that's an interesting point that you just made. all of these incidents including ferguson occurred in a matter of seconds. you're talking about a potential life changing circumstance. that can be very well the life of the officer as well. officer safety is always paramount. if the officer becomes disabled or killed, the weapons and tools they have in their utility belt become open f

the thing in south carolina, as former law enforcement, i can't condone it.e should be arrested for murder, go away the rest of his life, that's one. this one here is completely different. sean, my big upset, last month there was five african-american police officers killed across this country. never heard a word. the one that really angers me is that hero cops there was a videotape. why isn't it on tv. a videotape of the guy that shot two cops in 2001 comes out shoots that cop right in the face. cop never got his gun out, is shot in the face. there was outrage from the black community, and that's the ferguson thing. my thing is the thing in south carolina is different than ferguson and staten island. >> ferguson, let's be clear. we have the new florida tape released today, but in south carolina there's no defense. look, i have been trained in use of a firearm you have been trained. tactics, police tactics, techniques. you don't shoot somebody running, not a threat to anybody else, it is not justifiable. >> you chase them, tackle them down, that's it. you hav

not just in charleston south carolina or south carolina in whole. but it's a consistent narrative across the country. if you read the officer's statement, that is consistent with officer statements across the country. of an immediate fear of bodily harm. and that is the supreme court standard used to exonerate many officers. now, in cases where video evidence is preserved, and you reconcile that with those statements you find that they're totally inconsistent. last year we had a shooting of an unarmed citizen, african-american male pulled over for a seat belt violation. and if you read the highway patrolman's, officer's statement in that case you would have thought he was a hero. but when you look at the dashboard video camera it's totally inconsistent. this is an issue that we must address nationally. because i suspect it's a larger problem. >> and obviously you got a start at home if you have a culture issue there, you need to deal with it that's why the investigation of these other officers and the leadership that came out echoing that officer's

that's him being arraigned yesterday in south carolina. the officer was then fired from the police department where he worked, although the department says they will still pay for his family health insurance, in part because the officer's wife is eight months pregnant. but as that officer remains in jail today in south carolina, today, we got another video. we got what is thought to be the only other video of this incident. it was shot from the dashboard camera mounted on that officer's patrol car. now, the video does not show the shooting itself. but it does show the traffic stop that led up to the shooting. and as you can see in the video, this is that dashboard camera video. at first, it seems like a routine traffic stop. you see it from the perspective of the officer's squad car. walter scott stops his car. officer slager approaches the car. there's music playing. the music you hear is in the officer's squad car. and it seems like this is going to be an unremarkable interaction. the officer certainly seems very relaxed. you know, any n

. >> according to south carolina law, it's perfectly legal. it's the middle light on the window the brake light, that was out. is it common seth to pull people over for this? >> yes. minor traffic violations are a very common reason for officers to pull people over. the most benign reason is to warn them there's some re mechanical failure in their car they need to fix. stopping a vehicle because you suspect criminal activity by the occupants even if you don't have reasonable suspicion or probable cause to stop them on those ground, you can stop a car for any violation even if that's not primary motivation. stops like this are very common. >> this is the dash cam video. we played it from someone who happened to in the area. you see the officer ultimately shooting and killing scott, hitting him in the back and ear. initially, as there always is a police report. my question to you is, and there's been outrage over this there are accounts from the police report that do not watch up once you see the video. what do you make of that? >> nothing good.

msnbc's treymain lee joins me from south carolina. there's been a murder charge apologies, explanations from the mayor and other officials. >> that's right. i think everyone here is using ferguson as a point of reference. they say unlike ferguson where authorities dragged their feet on not just releasing details about the situation but also announcing they presented to a grand jury here just days later, there's an indictment of this officer. here people say the system is working, but it's working in a way that indicates a long history, they say, of racial profiling, of various abuses. so while there isn't that uproar you saw in ferguson that raw anger, there is concern that this is just, you know more of the same in terms of what led to the young man's death. >> and the mayor visited the family. we wanted to play a little bit of that. >> it was personal between the family and us but to let them know we love them we care for them, we're sorry for what has happened. that doesn't make it go away. we're just very appreciative of their att

right now a rally is going outside of city hall in north charleston south carolina.. 80% of the poor in africa are rural farmers. 96% of them are doing rain-fed agriculture. they're all competing with each other; they're all making very low margins making enough to survive but not enough to get out of poverty. so kickstart designs low cost irrigation pumps enabling them to grow high value crops throughout the year so you can make a lot of money. it's all very well to have a whole lot of small innovations but unless we can scale it up enough to where we are talking about millions of farmers, we're not going to solve their biggest challenge. this is precisely where the kind of finance that citi is giving us is enabling us to scale up on a much more rapid pace. when we talk to the farmers and ask them what's the most important thing. first of all they say we can feed our families. secondly, we can send our children to school. it's really that first step that allows them to get out of poverty and most importantly have money left over to plan for the future they want. you
