in any event, her husband and her brother went out to emmett till's uncle's house late one night, took him out, beat him up, tortured him, murdered him and threw him in the mississippi -- i mean, in the -- i forget the name of the river. pearl river in mississippi. and he was 13 years old. and it became a concern of mine because i saw the bloated head with wire twisted on the side of his head and this 13-year-older, and i was told it was as a result of segregation. segregation allowed people to think they could do these kinds of crimes and get by with them. and in this case, that's exactly what happened. the two people were tried who murdered emmett till, and i think the jury stayed in about 45 minutes and came back out with a not guilty verdict. and i think that many of us during that baby boomer generation saw the murder of emmett till as a jump-off points for us. we had to find ways in which we could get rid of segregation and discrimination where we had to ensure that the justice -- that justice in america was, in fact, equitable to everybody. and so that kind much political consci

the one event that really stood out in my growing up, was the event of emmett till. young boy from chicago, in 1955, he went to visit his uncle during the summer out of chicago. he and some cousins went into a store in mississippi. and they allegedly made a comment to a white woman, they either whistled or made a comment, goodbye, baby, or something like that. we have found now that the woman has said that they said nothing. that the whole thing was made up. in any event, her husband and her brother went out to emmett till's uncles house late went night and took him out, beat him up, tortured him, and murdered him. and then threw him in the mississippi -- i mean in the pearl river, in mississippi. and he was 13 years old. and it became, you know, a concern of mine. because i saw the bloated head with wire twisted on the side of his head. and this 13-year-old, and i was told it was as a result of segregation. segregation allow people to think that they could do these kinds of crimes, and get by with them. and in this case, that is exactly what happened. the two people

can you tell us what either emmett or the statewide school organization looks like? are things consolidating to bigger places? kids have to travel further whatever the example might be. and do those communities still have their own specific community schools are things just getting bigger to accommodate fewer kids and get them all one spot? >> guest: i know emmett hasn't doubled high schools, middle school, one interesting thing that's happening that cover it later on in my book in this area is actually suburban rising. that is incredibly popular to move to right now. there's kind of a mixed blessing there in the sense that it's gaining some people. but farmland itself is being kicked paved over and astronomical rates. the statistics say up words of 60% of the farming could be gone. so that is a probably to grapple with in terms of thinking of the land and how it will build well even as a welcome new people meet lance that we have been given. but in terms of the school districts, i know they struggled to get to make improvements on the local school. one of my favorit

i think emmett specifically is a testament of many past and present community members. kenny and i replaces survived hardship has beautiful but margin troubled in various places. i need to be loved for its own sake. our communities seem to be loved not for anything they might do for stretches of the rubber for what they can do for their own community members. i believe this is the only way we can be and to fight up the exploitation and the abuse that often characterize our rural homeland. and it is the only way we can begin to build places or drug newcomers and the children of the land in place by valuing places in local locations, disarming evil forebears did. but keeping that local vocation paramount people will stay and try to heal broken ground will try to restore future generations. twenty think is perhaps less acknowledged is a fact that we need to stick for own sake as well that's good for us to be rooted in healthy soil we crave this deep embeddedness and a place in a community. the least recognized need of the human soul. by virtue of his real active and natura

they passed the emmett till anti-lynching act. that designates lynching as a hate crime, under federal law. and this legislation is coming 65 years after tails lynching and 120 years after congress first considered anti-lynching legislation. so that's 120 years of congress failing to, choosing not to pass such legislation. and 2005, congress did see fit to apologize. apologize to the descendants of lynching victims. but it took another 15 years for both the senate and the house to pass this legislation. and then it'll go to the white house first signing by president trump. so, you can imagine that there are a lot of responses going on after this. and the prominent one is, why now? and people are asking, is this commemorative? is this a cause for celebration? or is this a cause for concern? is this preemptive? what is the context now that is making this bill feasible within congress? when it's been 120 years, that's not been the case. i just want to take a moment to point out ida b. wells. because a lot of people in talking about t

these witnesses today who told the story from emmett till to george floyd, told the story of countlessck men and women who have suffered at the hands of this type of brutality. but then -- and i get what the defense has to do. this is really not about that. but to then sort of come back with a trope of, you know, angry black people, you know, white men with guns kneeling on the neck of a man are suddenly afraid of children standing around watching them suffocate the life out of a black man. and they now come back and say that, you know, we feared for ourselves in that situation, a situation you created, by the way, by not listening to the crowd who otherwise wouldn't have paid too much attention to the arrest of yet another black man until you made it something else. and then when you made it something else, you now say to us when the community presses back, brian, and goes, wait a minute, you're killing this man, stop it, check his pulse, get your knee off his neck, and for chauvin to sit there with his hands in his pocket demonstrates the arrogance of power that he thinks -- that he

gerald: new passage about taking of the land and they got closer to emmett is heartbreaking. as i was reading it. so a couple or another question so, if you can provide more details about between the desire for that may be some level of capitalism or liberalism or not necessarily is the question can be maintained in good of what capitalism can do. it is in handmade people for more able to live. and at the same time, ball fostering a place of community for one or the other. >> is a very difficult question. let's be honest and say i don't feel entirely qualified to answer that freighted i really appreciated the work of people to look at what it would be like to look at our situation in terms of a monopoly. it any of which are fed by capitalism. there is a situation in which the government in any ways enables the growth. these large monopolies and they feed off each other. that's something that we could be finding better and if they were to happen, we might actually be more open and free market in which smaller players local industry clusters would be allowed to hopefully rise b

things like the murder of emmett till, the bombing of the 16th street baptist church, these were things were seeing lungs every day. this was part of the black experience -- seeing on the news every day. this was part of the black experience. they'd walk around with shotguns and tried to keep police brutality from happening. they policed the police. when the black panther party first formed, they had this platform divided into two sections. what we want and what we believe. they wanted to end police brutality, they wanted better pay and to end poverty. they started medical services and grew into this multifaceted organization, all which was dedicated to serving the poor black community. unfortunately, there are remembered for carrying guns and scaring people when there is so much more to their story. >> there is a way in which black people standing up and asking for or demanding their rights be respected has been met with fear, especially when we ask as strongly as the others have done. >> the general impression most people have about the black panther party is distorted. a lot of that

four, five more blocks today and emmett wilson is a thief when it comes to stealing the basketball. easy money for the senior guard on the other end. she had 13 points, sporting the colors, watching her sister. second half, cardinal up 34 points. forcing a turnover. she dunked pregame, not now. sanford blew out missouri state, 89-62, to reach the elite eight. vern glenn, on how stanford's appetite. >> you are so close you can kind of tasted. >> i would not say that just yet, we have a big task at hand, watching this game but we know how good we are, but you know, talent is not going to be good enough. we cannot just show up. >> they could probably just show up with gonzaga printed across their chest. they are that good. greg mcdermott might want to wear that mask after this game. a lot of good guy to leave through timmy all alone in the lane. hits him from the easy hoop, you can't leave anybody open on this team. timmy kicks it out. eight point lead, and we are not even, to the first media timeout. they needed the leading scorer, to keep their heads above water. an ankle breaker. da

now, alex emmett has creat a new platform to create his dust to dust -- now alex salmond has crated a pursue his personal agenda. >> a professor of politics joins us from glasgow. could to see you, how much appetite is therefore an alex samet political party in salmond -- scotland? >> at the moment until we get polling on the subject we can look at the popularity of mr. salmond. a party crated six weeks before an election is not going to have a great deal of resoue or exceptions though there notable defections. therefore, our best guide at the mome is how popular is alex sammons? and he is not very popular. two poles condued recently ask whether they regarded him favorably or unfavorably? 14% of voters, slightly higher among those who say they would vote for smp but not by very much. so, given that, probably the best mr. salmond could hope for if he manages to mobilize every s&p voter who might otherwise vote for, few say they think of him favorably he might get 7%-8% of the vote. that would be enough for him to pick up msp's but not enough to achieve what he apparently thinks height

and me round is 3 men right now as for emmett. here's. arose 3 minutes for amateur pros are so 3 to 5 minutes our per round of an m.m.a. fight. ok. have you ever whether it be. in your training after you have rendered someone unconscious where they come back to and they start fighting again inside of a fight about talks only came back you know. it's been a fighting or very heavy something that happened in practice. resave. so something to be surgeon i will do so well someone rendered someone unconscious right you're fighting with them they've gone on conscious you've released your chokehold from them we are very experienced someone coming back and starting to find you again right away. personally no seated is ok fair enough so you've seen after someone is unconscious come back to consciousness and they start fighting right away you've seen that happen it's you know you have seeds. they come back to in a continued to fight in the rep rhea's it's plain to them that they've been unconscious been in combat coaches in a 1st thing i wanted to d

we look at emmett till's mother who realized the power of performance by keeping emmett till's casket open. think about private voice versus public voice. what does it mean when we're forced to keep something in private as opposed to what happens when we make it public. think about the developments in technology that have happened between the 1950s and the 1980s. think about the advancements we make in telephone. think about the advancements we get in recording technologies. think about the advancements we've made in film and television itself. for example, the way that should make sense to you guys now, there are videos every time something happens out there. if somebody meets you in the grocery store parking lot and they start acting funny towards you, what's the first thing that happens? what is the first thing that happens if you're in a public space and something -- and you think things are going to go bad? that's not a rhetorical question. >> you can leave. >> you can leave, yes. somebody pulls out a phone and starts recording. we have all of these instances right now of things

things like the murder of emmett till, the bombing of the 16th st baptist church — these are things people experience in america. the panthers were formed in 1966 during the height of the civil rights movement, and were formed in response to police brutality that was going on in the bay area. they walked around with shotguns and tried to keep incidents of police brutality from happening. they policed the police. you know, the black panther party, when they first formed, had the 10 point program. it was divided into two sections, what we want and what we believe. they wanted an end to police brutality, better pay and an end to poverty. and they expanded, started a free breakfast program for children, education program, medicalservices, so they really grew into this multi—faceted organisation, all of which was dedicated to serving the poor black community. unfortunately, they are remembered mostly for carrying guns and scaring people, and there is so much more the general impression that most people have about the black panther party in this country is really distorted and a lot of that is d

you know, things like the murder of emmett till, the bombing of the 16th street baptist church, theseng in the news every day. this was part of the black experience in america. the panthers were formed in 1966 during the height of the civil rights movement, and they were formed in response to the police brutality that were going on in the bay area. they walked around with shotguns and tried to keep incidents of police totality from happening. they policed the police. you know, the black panther party, when they first formed, they had what they called the ten point platform, and it was divided into two sections. there was what we want and what we believe. you know, they wanted an end to police brutality, and they wanted better pay, an end to poverty. and then they expanded. they started a free breakfast programme for children, they started an education programme, they started medical services. and so they really grew into this multifaceted organisation, all of which was dedicated to serving the poor black community. unfortunately, they�* re remembered mostly just for carrying guns and

and all you need to know is, emmett till. there's a bigger history to that. you're seeing these women get beaten. to do the same type of resistance as an african-american man would have been even riskier. also african-american men weren't riding the buses as much. it was women who were on the bus primarily. also because they were domestics, right? they were on the bus in a greater -- a greater capacity and often with white people. those winds were kind of blurred. they might go do the grocery stopping with the children of their white employer. in that capacity, they sat up front, right? they sat up front because that white baby wasn't going in the back, right? there's a little bit more blurring of the line there. and there's stories of african-american men often if a scuffle would start on a bus with an african-american woman, they would get up and go out the back door and suffered for that and were criticized for it. but they get up and go out the back door because that's -- they understood how loaded that situation was. so i also want to go to the next idea

well i mean again let's go back to what we're talking about here emmett illinois there was never any slavery there so we're talking about who's going to pay for who ever been if it from an embassy and there was no way to every day in evanston so really it shouldn't actually happen there at all if it was to be paid it should have been pay and slave holding places to former slaves from the former slave owner or from the state that's what it should have been about not you know behind it 200 years later be gone come back and say ok here's a housing program to fix your roof reparations we'll put a label on it it's silly it's ridiculous it is just a thing to try and please people because it all be a limb move me not a kind of stuff going on is a buzz word is being spoken about if they wanted to do it would have already been done it and never had been this is a pipe dream it's a fantasy in pure markets and that is the end that is all and you know is presumably it is almost an impossible algorithm isn't it to decide who gets water because the effects of this haven't been felt equally not jus

emmett till didn't know the rules of racial etiquette for example. particular driving etiquette was also expected. african-american's face segregation in most aspects of public travel and accommodation in the south where it was overt, but in the north it was dictated by customs. so it was de facto segregation of buses. taxis trains hotels restaurants beaches and just about any place that people gathered and this is a jim crow railroad car insulting humiliating filthy as well as dependent on timetables. although they were only supposed to run in the south many of them ran in the north as well and african-americans even if you purchased a first class ticket were often expected to go into the jim crow car. this is a columbia and gulf railroad car from 1929. and you can see the word colored. on those back seats the automobile gave african-american's freedom free black travelers from the tyranny of the jim crow railroad car and bus it offered freedom of movement and it offered dignity. african-american americans found that the segregated trains that gave

i'm not sure what happened with piers morgan emmett he as very talented on television he's bee on the show a lot brady lost th job after criticizing her and will find out why. there does seem to be an noticeable lack of people sayin the obvious which is really you're a pretty i duchess it or you're complaining about an argument you have with your sister-in-law over a dress thre years ago. wake up, why can't anybody say that? >> i think the reason people can't say it is because it woul make the lives of people in power hard to repair if you think about the attitude let's say of modern american corporations, and how they are trying to avoid the fact that they are plundering the country and avoid the fact that there should be a conversation around that by talking about diversity by talking about the way in which the leaders of the companies have been victimized. this is a tactic to distract from the fact that a ruling class has failed the government in the country. so you ask with the effective's the effectors were not having a real conversation about how broken our societies are commit

passenger here in that context, and also the other factor was this is only a few months after the emmett till murder and the trial which resulted of course in a not guilty verdict, that was very much on her mind as well. so the combination then of these factors leads to a broad, , the possibility of a broad coalition come together in mobilizing to challenge the system, which became the montgomery bus boycott. which begin first of the day just to test things out, then it extended and, of course, lasted almost a a year. was in that context of course martin luther king who was a recent arrival in birmingham, montgomery rather, sees leadership of that organization and, of course, the rest is as they say history. >> this leads to a couple of different questions we have from the audience. the difference in tactics in different cities. the freedom rider bus pulled into albany, georgia, a couple of years later when we meet charles sherrod, cordell reagan, those are two of the freedom writers you introduce us to indie book, two of hundreds of students who were jailed for lunch counter sit ins. th

it will take us more than two years to get to preprint emmett employment -- pre-pandemic employment levels and will take even longer. this is unacceptable when 4 million americans have been unemployed for more than six months. or when unemployment is at 9.9% for african-americans and 8.5% for hispanics. congress must pass the american rescue plan now so that we can get americans back to work and get relief to the millions of people who are struggling. the president and vice president will receive their weekly economic briefing with treasury secretary yellen, chair of the council of the council of economic advisers, cecelia ralph , national economic council director, and chief economic advisor to the vice president. they will provide an update on the jobs report along with an update on unemployment by race and female participation in the workforce. the president will precipitate in a roundtable with individuals who will benefit from receiving relief checks thanks to the american rescue plan. there is a lot going on. i wanted to shout this out. senior white house officials hosted a virtual l

this is about the assassinations, the medgar evers, the emmett tills, i would say, senator johnson, the we got the fair housing act of 1968 was because dr. king got assassinated. i would say, hell, the reason that the confederate flag came down in south carolina is because nine people, including my friend, were murdered in a church. i would say, senator johnson, the only reason we're on the cusp and having these discussions about criminal-justice reform is because george floyd had a knee in his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. what i am trying to tell you is that there is a great deal of pain in black blood through the streets of this country so that we could have an ounce of semblance of political change. so, i think that he needs to understand the history of this country. so, when you make comments, like, it's okay for these white boys to come in here with they confederate flags and anti-semitic rhetoric and beat police officers and murder a cop. but if there is somebody black standing up for what they believe to be right and just, saying that we need to stop being killed in the str

host: that in emmett -- and the dynamic is different this time.re's support from the biden administration for statehood and a democratic led senate. guest: that is right. the thing is that that has really boosted d.c. statehood advocates' hopes. there's been probably no greater opportunity for statehood, but at the end of the day it is still just a huge hurdle in the senate because of the filibuster. so, 50 democratic senators isn't going to be enough, unless there is an exception to the filibuster. democrats are seeking to eliminate the filibuster, but that is still a big question mark for d.c. statehood and it remains the key obstacle. host: in your article, you wri te, "the issue, once a fanciful dream of local activists now enjoys near unanimity inside the democratic party. the adult of momentum -- jolt in momentum stems and part from an increasingly urgent desire of democrats. d.c. statehood would probably result in two more democratic senators, shifting the dynamic in the senate, where they will have more influence on supreme court nominatio
