trustee chris jackson and greer which is to bring a retail hospitality cohort to the neighborhood comparable, but creating more job opportunities, even than the city build program. they'll have time to work on that now because it's all about survival. hopefully we will survive. i just want to say that from the point of view of the labor movement, the question is is this a just authority on an unjust authority that's represented by the accjc. and when you feel that while there is valued criticism of the college in general, it's just unjust. it is as if the mayor's office came in and said you are all deposed, you cannot represent your constituents. we lost our democratic voice, our board of trustees. we have an agency that is -- lacks transparency, lacks accountability. rumors fly because we don't know what really goes on there, that barbara [speaker not understood] with an iron fist, that everybody is in fear. we know that at least 30% of -- upwards of 30% of colleges have been penalized by the accjc where in the rest of the country it's only 4 or 5%. so, this group is wildly out of control.

and they hear from guest speakers such as chris jackson who is on the college board of trustees and actually represent robert davis, and jessica williams was given justice and diversity to the kids can and lisa came in and did a workshop on leadership. karen as well as johnson came out and spoke with the kids as well, too. so every friday, so the kids go to work monday through thursday and every friday they spend time and go over the skills or revisit the goals and we talk about the situational leadership. and we talk about the field trips that are coming up and they will present to the full commission on august 8th and present a cap stone project of everything that they learned over the summer. we want to say thank you to the partners at pec, and tom, srt and whurs bran and coldwell and also with david and associates and we are just looking forward to many more years of the ssip program. thank you. >> thank you, i know that my brother in the audience, don't you have an event coming up on the 40th anniversary that you should be required to give a shout out to? >> thank you, commissioner. >>

john rizzo, raphael [speaker not understood], anita greer and chris jackson. if you could approach, come in the room, please, just maybe a brief statement from each, thing that we may be able to focus on, where the support of the board of supervisors and mayor's office may help in supporting the efforts to keep the school open. why don't we start with the president first. >> thank you, supervisor and supervisors. first i want to extend my appreciation to you for having this hearing, supervisor avalos, and for your support, supervisor mar and campos, for coming out and to all the elected officials who have rallied. >> [speaker not understood]. >> sorry, thank you very much. >> [speaker not understood]. >> first i want to start by correcting some misstatements that gohar mumjin made. the acct -- the accrediting agency is not part of wasc. it is no longer part of wasc. that is just a fact. they removed themselves from that. >> what is it again? >> western association of schools and colleges. so, they are now their own independent body. they actually are a private

but now jesse jackson says praying for the family of chris lane. e consistenciless violence is frowned upon. >> do we now expect jesse jackson to respond to every single hate crime that happens inhe country? do people not understand this? the trayvon martin incident was covered because there was nobody being arrested for it. occasionally we do have things that get kind of bigger than it should be, and maybe it did get bigger than it should be. but this is a tragedy what happened to chris lane, but i don't know why you expect swrje jackson or the president to talk about it, as some people have said. and my final point is some people were saying that we should not have been covering trayvon martin. and if we should not have been covering trayvon martin, why should we be covering this? >> we're getting ready for the coverage of the 50th anniversary of the "i have a dream" speedometer. >> i was there for nbc news and it was a turning point not only in my life but in many other lives. it was one of the greatest oration if not the greatest oration of all

chris lane. but i don't know dar why you expect jesse jackson or the president to talk about it.nal point is, i seem to remember some people saying we should not have been covering trayvon martin. if we shouldn't have been covering trayvon martin, why should we be cover thing? >> we are getting ready, cal, for the 50th anniversary of the i have a dream speech in washington. what kind of coverage should we expect? >> i hate to date myself but i was there for that peach. as a young -- nbc news. it was turning point in my life and many other lives. it was one of the greatest orations if not greatest, orations of all time. i think that it deserves coverage. part of the media narrative. back to this chris lane business. the reason i think primarily it is not being covered the way, in my judgment, it should be, it doesn't fit the media narrative. white people are oppressive, they used to own slaves. look at all the horrible things the civil rights movement, never mind they were southern democrats standing in the schoolhouse dorm. >> conservative -- >> one of the suspects, rick, sent ou

allegedly mentioning in passing the black on black violence is kind of how jesse jackson in passing frowned on the murder of chris lane. we frown on all things like shoplifting or littering. i think what happened to chris lane particularly by the person who is alleged to have done it and the way they felt and openly expressed by their own hand how they felt about white people, hating white people and quantifying that 90% are nasty and as it relates to my brother's case that since the zimmerman court is what he called. it he has been knocking out five white people. there is a problem with violence , and it is a problem -- i don't like making it all about race because as we can see from what is alleged to be this individual's own hand, anyone can be racist or have racist tendencies or have the wrong messaging about race guiding some of their actions. so it is a little disingeneral wise. i want to say at the beginning of the george zimmerman case, yes i understand the talking points that reverend joques made that a young black man died and that's what we should take. but the talking po nie t initially was a white ma

suggestion of mahalia jackson who says tell them about the dream mar tirn, in the background and it just takes off those two parts of the speech are fascinating to hear. and then as chrisaid, it's a source to another plain and you just think of the very few men and women in history who had that pa sort of power with their words to shape reality with their words and you think of lincoln, of churchill and dr. king. rice is right. we're not going to hear words that powerful again anytime soon. >> especially eugene, words that are from the heart, no script. this is ad lib as you mentioned. so many people don't realize it was mahalia jackson in the background saying tell them about the dream. he had the speech written and it was warming the crowd but then it went as they say these days, next level. something that is destiny that cannot be written or scripted because it has to come from the soul. and sadly, you oo jean, it has to come so many times from great pain. >> well, it has to come from great pain but what's so extraordinairery is that it went not just to the next level but to some sort of universal truth. there is a kernel or more than a kernel of universal truth in

i think jesse jackson finally tweeted something only because he had been confronted about it. here's his tweet. preying for the family of chris violence is frowned upon and the justice system must prevail. frowned upon? to his credit, later he did issue a longer condemnation but frowned upon? where is al sharpton? if the racial roles were reversed here he would be down there holding a protest already. >> there is no question about that but why do we keep going back to the racial dynamic here? why aren't we addressing real issue of violence in america and dealt culture and all the things that surround this? continuing propagate the notion race is at center of all these things doesn't do america any service. gregg: does it help when the president interjects it? >> yeah the fact is the president is the one who started this when, when in his first summer he talked about this incident in, the place where he used to live, in cambridge. then he brought it back up with trayvon martin. now he is saying well, you know, let's move on beyond this. he is the one who brought this up. no other president has ever -- at this level. gregg: in

we talked about where they were yesterday and jesse jackson put out this tweet that angered a lot of people. praying for the family of chris lane. the senseless violence is frowned upon. frowned upon? and the justice system will prevail. then he wound out putting out a statement later that said this. because frowned upon simply not enough. the recent incidents of violence in america calls each of us to a collectively resist all forms of violence in our society, in particular black on black violence. disproportionately affects every facet of black life in america. we must learn to live together to -- in peace. it goes on. >> imagine if this was flipped around. three white kids shot a black person in the back. and imagine if this this was flipped around. >> absolutely. >> they would be in the streets already in oklahoma marching. >> in this particular case, it was two black teenagers and one white kid shot this 22-year-old white kid from australia. is this racial? >> well, some of the tweets that were -- from social media from one of the black individuals had some hate tweets, racist tweets before and after this event. so th
