there are two important pictures of emmett till there. one of him as a marvelous, handsome, full of life 14-year-old. then, the picture of him and his open casket which is mother insisted on showing how well -- there are not words for what that image shows. there just aren't. after all of these years. it just moves you to tears. it is astounding. so, i would like to turn this over to tim and just say it has been my great pleasure and honor to be a friend of tim and have tim be a long time customer of this bookstore and we're thrilled to have him back for this marvelous book. tim tyson.

joining me now is deborah watts, emmett till's cousin and head of the legacy foundation.rst go, deborah, i remember when we were funeralizing rosa parks. it was raised at the funeral that she said that when she refused to give her seat on the bus up, when ordered to go to the back where blacks had to sit, all she could think of was emmett till, what they had done to him a year before that. he sparked a movement, because he was falsely accused of looking at a white woman who has now taken it back. but the viciousness of his killing, and i remember when his mother visited us, she talked about how she wanted to open that casket that's now in the smithsonian museum to show the world what they did to her son and to show the world how vicious it was based on just a black kid in mississippi, and a white woman saying something that wasn't true about a look, and they would kill him just for appearing to have looked at her when it didn't happen. you, therefore, brought that to the attorney general sessions this week, not just about emmett but for a law named for him saying they are

nation of emmett till in 1955, the montgomery bus boycott, little rock central high school oopsis whereederal tr had to protect black students trying to desegregate, the sit-in movement, the freedom rides from may of 1961 to december of 1961, james meredith as the first black student at the university of mississippi, the birmingham crisis, the march on washington, the four little girls being assassinated -- movement -- the blm are we still seeing those kind of benchmarks? how is it different? guest: the way in which it is different is this -- when we think about blm, it parallels the black power movement, the structural criticism of institutional racism. 1967 and the book "black power" coined the phrase institutional racism that we have used now for 50 years, so there is a structural critique of economic injustice and institution. when we think about the civil rights movement, a lot of that was predicated on this idea of reform, sometimes even radical reform, where the black power movement said these institutions were based because of the way in which they were formulated. we thinkof bl

his entire generation was of that generation and then rediscovered his mission with the murder of emmett till. but that same year with apple the epidemic to have the assault vaccine in trial for and then he will come up one morning and could not move his legs. and as a quadriplegic you worked his way back to regain the use of his arms and one leg so those dramatic events of the stunning adulthood but the first time he ever felt rejected that and for the rest of his life. but he was the guy that inspired hundreds of filmmakers that he tries to make guys on the prize for commercial television with a giant 26 part series it was a complete and utter failure the debt that tied nobody had ever done and this was years before the american experience relating that we take for granted. so when that was relaunched 1985 to go to public television that does not make those demands to hire those experienced people to spend a couple years doing that it a couple of years after that the second part that is the history from 65 from the black panthers and the nationalism. . .

host: who was emmett till?: he was a 14-year-old chicago boy who went to go visit his cousins in mississippi in 1955. he went into a store, had an exchange with a white, female clerk. later, the clerk's husband and half brothers took him to a riverside, murdered him, tortured him, and they threw him into the river. his mother retrieve the body and insisted he be buried in chicago with a public funeral. she insisted it be open casket, so the american public could see what racism had done to her son. dozens of individuals who became the foot soldiers of this civil rights movement in the early 70's, who are teenagers or adolescence in 1955. for whom the emmett till murder was frightening and maddening. they knew they did not want to grow up in a world that allowed that to happen. they were willing to put themselves on the line, and to become active in the civil rights movement a few years later. host: his casket is on display here? guest: yes. he was originally buried in illinois south of chicago. in 2005, and the

the emmett till murder is a tipping point in the civil rights movement in this country.know of dozens of individuals who became the foot soldiers of the civil rights movement in the early '60s who were teenagers or add less en adolescents in 1955 and for whom the emmett till murder was frightening and maddening. they knew they didn't want to grou up grow up in a world that allowed that to happen, so they were willing to put themselves on the line and become active in the civil rights movement a few years later. >> and his casket is on display here? >> yes. he was originally buried in alsip, illinois south of chicago. in 2005 the fbi, trying to reopen and reexamine a number of cold cases of violence against african-americans during the civil rights movement, disinterred his body, exhumed his body, conducted tests and he was reburied in a different casket, by law. his family retrieved the casket in 2009. they knew the director of this museum because he had been the director of the chicago history museum in earl yer years. they talked with lonnie and agreed to donate his ca

beside that nfl became one of the -- and that he'll defeat coulthe-- emmett till became one sparks. you look at the dream defenders into the group block waves batter and it's written in the response to convict george zimmerman. when you think about that comes to mind? >> guest: we think of him as a young man who galvanized his country and brought different cultures together. so just to know that his name had structure to do with the resurgence being a spark for the new civil rights movement needs a great deal. seeing the movement has a different meaning to it because young people are not afraid to go out in the street and protest in peace. this isn't the 50s and 60s, we have a voice mouse to see people intertwined with the older people and seeing black wives matter, we know all wives matter but when we see black lives matter that's running away and getting shot, it is a black life getting choked out in new york an and event has and aboutp getting shot in the street and gets shot and killed in front of his daughter. that's why we say black lives matter. it's not any other culture but

this becomes a national sensation. 14-year-old emmett till visiting from chicago, whistled at a white woman. he was rude. by southern standards, by midwestern standards, definitely rude. mississippi in the 1950's delivers a death sentence. till in life and in death. that is why sncc chooses mississippi. they will chip away the white supremacy. look at the pictures. i just want you to look at the pictures. we have bob moses, 60-year-old secretary, one of the most important people to come to mississippi. bob will lead efforts in mississippi through 1964. he is going to join with amzie moore, world war ii veteran, and they are going to start planning a voter registration drive in 1961. what does this picture tell you? he was a veteran in world war ii. why is that important? nathan? why is that important? >> because the veterans were the ones that were really going for to change because they thought why fight for change outside of the u.s. and then come back and still be? prof. shrock: absolutely right. world war ii was the pace of social change. we had some vets coming back that were not

barnum and bailey was emmett kelly. there's something about that big tie.ething clownish about what he does. >> wait, chris. are you saying they're something clownish about donald trump? is this what i'm hearing? breaking news. somebody break -- i hope that the next show -- >> you funny women comedians. anyway, thank you. >>> up next, resolutions and reversals. trump might be learning on the job, you might say, but more and more except an attitude, his decisions don't sound much like a guy to ran for president. remember him? you're watching "hardball," where the action is. whisperer? why do they call him the whisperer? he talks to planes. he talks to planes. watch this. hey watson, what's avionics telling you? maintenance records and performance data suggest replacing capacitor c4. not bad. what's with the coffee maker? sorry. we are not on speaking terms. what's with the coffee maker? at bp's cooper river plant, employees take safety personally - down to each piece of equipment, so they can protect their teammates and the surrounding wetlands, too. because

trust but we haven't quite got to the.that we can work together to correct the situation my name is emmett. senator, thank you for your work on behalf of people around the world fighting corruption. i'm originally from ukraine so corruption is a four topic for me and fellow citizens. i now live in lancaster pennsylvania and corruption in ukraine and anywhere else outside of the united states is not at hot topic. my question is do you think corruption oversees gets enough attention among general public in the us? it's not what should we do or should we do anything to aware the arena in this country but corruption oversees ? connect that's a great present. unless it hits you personally, you don't fully realize how life could be adversely affected and they don't realize the impact internationally on the security of america and on the global economics and use of military issues don't hit them directly. you're absolutely correct. if you're from ukraine, you understand this. not during the immediate time but certainly there after, i saw what was happening in tf. what happened in ukraine was not

the life-and-death of emmett till a 14 year-old m -- african american in 1955. [inaudible conversations] we are going to discuss a new subject what does russia want? we don't have any russians here but there quite knowledgeable experts on russia. with the institutional and political perspective. in arabia caused even more confusion so what america needs we would probably give one answer. with as the nation's security advisor and with did a very different answer and then to change significantly and then another possibility president has discovered incriminating conduct regarding other american interests. this is a very important interesting topic. the director from georgetown university also with his books from the state department as a scholar and a practitioner sojourn of both russian government in the position if you want that perspective you will get it spirit these are too tough questions. so i will spend bedtime talking about what does russia want? if i were tweeting i would say russia with like the united states to treated as if it were the soviet union as

the munching on my -- emmett till in 1965, a conference in indonesia in 1955. the montgomery bus boycott says well. by the time the general and his generation finished high school in the late 1950's, recession had hit the auto industry hard. world cradled the expectations and dreams of young detroiters was crumbling. the new reality that they faced bys perhaps best illustrated the unemployment figures represent black male unemployment versus white male between 1950-1960. unemployment in 1960 was 6.1%, down 4/10 of 1% from what it had been in 1950. that's for white males. like male owner -- unemployment 1960, which was up 6.5% from what it had been in 1950. another fact about these figures does this does not this aggregate black youth. we haven't done this yet -- from the black total -- total for black male employment. had it done so, it is looking like it would have roughly been for black youth, around 30% in 1960. work in the auto industry and union membership no longer represented the great leap forward that it had for their parents, the parents of this young

the other conversation is about opec and we have the saudi emmett -- saudi energy minister coming outeeting. tom: right now i want to get this in for switzerland and francine lacqua is joining us. the single best chart, and you can only do this in real time on the bloomberg, i want to thank you for the your best for your research. this used to be three and a half percent for the financial crisis. down we go. -20 year swiss yield last year, well under 1%. to george bory here, what is remarkable about this is the financial repression printed in this chart, whether it is switzerland or england. george bory witnesses financial repression and whether you dark -- new york or zurich. >> if you have negative yields as an investor you will do a lot to not pay to save. we have money swirling all over the globe trying to avoid negative yields. if you point out who's yields are coming up and they are starting to move closer to zero, particularly in switzerland, europe and japan. tomorrow, for the ecb, in my forion it is the linchpin this global repression story. because aggressive qe last year dr
