if you talk about it is tough enough, martin luther king, junior, ralph abernathy, ella baker come upke people do not even have the franchise. if black people were able to leverage the political authority and their moral compelling arguments, their narratives and stories, in defense of their vulnerable bodies, who are we now? we have enormous access to the vote to limit the possibility of the situation, as if this choice between maintaining a conception of flourishing of black people under impossible circumstances versus putting donald trump in office, let's do both. let's both ignited the donald trump is the most immediate priority to be prevented, and at the same time, as you say, speak about these other interests. a does not mean you have to be either/or. why can't we do both? why can't we put hillary in office, like you have conversations with cory booker, why you have engagements with elite white institutions? all of our hands are dirty -- my son graduated from there. my point is, it is not an either/or situation. i think what you say i agree with, but i do not agree with deferri

. >> reporter: we spoke via mobile device to zachary norris of the ella baker center for human rightsoakland. they, along with the aclu, developed this app called california justice to live stream confrontations, instantly saving the video. >> we really need tools to be able to find out what is happening in these cases to actually produce some level of accountability. >> and indeed, today, both the aclu and the chapter in california say they encourage using those apps during interaction with police. back to you. >>> the lawmakers hoping for an indictment of hillary clinton expressed their disappointment today to the feds. he was asked repeatedly to defend his position not to bring charges against the former secretary of state. they responded with a series of blistering questions. comey explained there was no malicious intent and clinton did it the right way. >> you can't fairly say we did it in any kind of political way. >> republicans are not done, though. they're requesting the fbi now investigate whether hillary clinton lied about her e-mails last october when she testified about t

my hero is ella baker. [applause] ms. baker, ms. baker informed the second half of the book. it's her model of organizing, right? her insistence that we are the leaders we've been looking for. her rejection of a custodial model of leadership. that custodial model presumes that's all you and i need to do, hand it over to somebody else. that somebody else will then go and broker for us or op our behalf been on our behalf behind closed doors. we want to change the scene of the operations of power. and we want to understand our power. now, how that will take shape in relation to schools, how that's going to take shape in relation to criminal justice, how it's going to take shape in terms of employment, it's going to vary in terms of local communities, but we need to organize to do it. do you see what i mean? so change the center of gravity of politics and change the mold of politics. there's a role for preachers at the head of the march, and then there isn't one. that was me being very diplomatic. yeah. [laughter] yes. >> i'm sorry -- >> oh, we're done, i'm sorry, that's it. i ap

as the biographer of ella baker would have to say. my linkage goes way back because i'm a white southerner. so i grew up in segregation. and my father had preached the year before i was born, had preached a sermon, criticizing the biological idea of race. using paul and acts, god has made all of men of one blood and ending the sermon with the critique of the white primary. he was kicked out of that church. and that's why i was born in the parsonage in a little bitty town on the border of georgia in south carolina, which was kind of siberia. i think i've always known it was about history. my mother told me sometime in early grade school, they're going to tell you in school that slavery was not the cause of the civil war. but they are wrong. and i wish i could go back and ask her how did she know that. i don't know. so it is very deep, and it is coming back up again now as i think our country is again understanding how deep racism goes, how embedded it is in so many of our ongoing daily relationships and structures. and that it is never

his birthday, i love it, but i'd like just once to be able to start a conversation framed around ella baker or bayer rusten. we need to talk about the women and queer folks that helped make this movement happen. the majority of the women that run the black lives matter infrastructure are run by black queer women. that's no surprise. that's always been the case. that's probably who is running behind the scenes right now, you know. so i just need folks to get to the point where you're comfortable getting a little dirty, letting it get a little messy because our every day lived experiences are already there and the work should reflect it. >> can i just -- >> yes. >> -- add to that that what i think you're describing is a kind of work that makes a grassroots movement powerful because you're engaging and organizing which is capacity building, which is building people's ability to have those conversations. and also to figure out how to act together, how to make each other strong instead of feeling isolated. and, you know, it is certainly true that when that legal structure fell down a lot of peop

martin luther king jr., ella baker, all those great heroes of the 1960s portrayed an america that was divided between black and white. we know race is much bigger than the black/white divide, but the black/white divide has been the major artery through which the blood of bigotry has flowed. those differences were huge then. we didn't have the right to vote for african-american people. we didn't have the right to assemble peaceably. police brutality was atrocious then. the death of black people by lynching, castration, and the like. all of that precipitated a movement that really argued for it the rights of black america and integrated us into the fabric of american society. what we have now is undeniably a far better circumstance in regard to the right to enjoy, in regard to the society that's been changed, we now have an african-american who's the president. but i don't want to say that's cosmetic, but it's a symbolic change that has not yet trickled down into the masses of african-american people and not only that, into the masses of american society. we have a black police chief in
