elijah cummings, you may know, elijah's roots in south carolina.amily were a part of brown v. board of education which at the time was briggs v. elliott and elijah and i used to talk about it all the time. and when he got elected to congress i had a big homecoming for elijah. brought him back to mount zero baptist church where his grandfather was a member and these two guys meant so much to me. i used to sit on the floor and talk to them all the time. and elijah passed away, it was just -- you know, john and i, our relationship was great. but elijah and i used to talk about our roots in the county and south carolina and how that personalized our relationships. so on a personal basis i was very close to elijah. and when i spoke at his service there in the capitol i talked about that because we were both what we call pk-ers. preacher's kids so he had the challenge of growing up with the obstacles of being the preacher's kid. so he and i were very, very close. to serve with these two guys in the united states congress was just a remarkable experience.

we lost elijah cummings. i think a lot of us by the millions had in mind that we owed it to john lewis and elijah cummings, we owed it to shirley chisholm who's the first black woman to be elected to congress. i was 18. i was a youth director when she ran for president, and talked to kamala harris she -- and all of that i think drove a lot of people that were the bedrock voters that joe just talked about that brought this victory to joe biden. we went in there knowing we were voting against one of the most racist, xenophobic and most misogynist president we've seen in our lifetime. so we had a reason to vote. but because of the john lewises we had the capacity to vote. we stood in long lines in those places, but it wasn't as long as it was to get the protected in the first place. and that's why everybody's in the streets celebrating because they're celebrating not only a man and woman that won but celebrating an america that may get closer back to the track we want it to be on. >> and messages of congratulati

in this film, localjournalist elijah ka nyi investigates the impact of the deadly coronavirus outbreak kenya's largest and poorest slums. reporting from the coronavirus front—line and putting himself at risk, ka nyi found that the police brutality was worse than the virus. everywhere, the police mishandled their way of doing things. people kept on resisting, and they were resisting because the cops came to enforce their laws so that people can follow them to save them from covid. but every time they did it wrong, people lost hope on their way of doing things and that's how things got out of hand. as the pandemic spread, heavy—handed policing led to violence and a series of tragic deaths, including that of a teenage boy. when he was killed, everything changed, even the mood of the community. and no—one would follow the rules that were given for them to be safe from covid. people are angry, people are mad, people didn't want to be told anything to do with covid any more. having been born and bred in mathare, kanyi has a strong connection with the place and was able to show the desperate
