i'm sure you all recall ferguson, missouri, were in the sum of 2014 a young black man switches commit a robbery by force of the without any weapon try to go after the weapon of the police officer and was shot and killed. the narrative became that he was trying to surrender, hands up, don't shoot that i was shot in cold blood by the police officer who was then not prosecuted. that in turn turbocharge the group that called itself black lives matter which organize demonstrations against police all over the country under the banner of that slogan. overlooking that most lease were killed or wounded suffered that fate while protecting black citizens against other black citizens. in congress we've heard senators who either no better or at the very least should know better claim that the nsa is listening in on our telephone conversations or that the cia has conducted interrogations using torture. apparently because that's a narrative some substantial number of the constituents are willing to buy. as to interrogation techniques one newspaper, the "new york times," or the newspaper of record as

since the tragic day michael brown was gunned down by an officer of the law in the streets of ferguson missouri but now in the wake of the four year strong movement to end police violence and aggression toward black citizens across the united states a new call is sounding in the halls of congress blue lives matter on wednesday may sixteenth the house of representatives passed what's being called the blue lives matter a bill officially titled the protect and serve act of twenty eighteen the bill would make it a federal crime to sell to police officer and the blue eyes matter bill has done what very few bills can draw strong bipartisan support it passed in the house by a vote of three eighty two to thirty five but it's not just the house getting in on the action according to the intercept the senate version of the bill which also has broad bipartisan support goes even further framing an attack on an officer as a federal hate crime except as the a.c.l.u. and deliberate and the c.p. and many other civil rights groups point out federal law already has extremely strong penalties for people who commit

i've learned certainly the world has learned about ferguson economics, ferguson, missouri, economics burying their own citizenry in debt. i just learned on the steps this morning that the collection agencies for this whole system has been privatized. so the privatized companies have a conflict of interest in that they can send people back to further debt by violating their private rules. so i very much thank the supervisors for looking at this whole issue in a justice direction. actually, i would ask that someone do an investigation into these privatized company to see if they've used conflict of interest to fatten their own purses. thank you. >> next speaker. >> i beg your pardon? >> thank you. next speaker. >> i'm an attorney at lawyers committee for civil rights. we strongly support bringing an end to these kinds of fees in san francisco. not only because they harm people in our community, which we see every day in our work, but also it's just out of step with san francisco leading the way in progressive policies. many we also believe that absolute abolishment of the fees is the o

ferguson, missouri was a shocking point to america to realize that i think 30% was based on fines and penalties and the idea that san francisco had any part of an economic model like that is pretty shocking. a couple of different points. earlier legislation last year about banning the box, the idea that people trying to get people who have fulfilled a sentence have still a box in an employment whether or not they have been in prison and to remove that from employment records gives people a fresh chance to get started again and so that in conjunction to this is -- [beeping] >> thank you, sir. next speaker. >> hollywood saint james. i would like to acknowledge the assembly. i also want to acknowledge those who spoke before me. i listen and learn and i learn to listen and as a result i practice two principles. i will get right to the point because i don't want the buzzer. people trying to attain housing, employment when low-income residents fall into this kind of debt, it can severely damage their credit which cause employers to refuse to hire, we are asking this committee to eliminate u

from the black lives matter protests that began in ferguson, missouri, to the women's march that struck the world on january 21st, 2017, 673 marches on all seven continents, and to the march for our lives, which took place on tuesday, and the protests in sacramento demonstrating against the police shooting of a man who was talking on a cell phone in his grandmother's backyard. people are organizing and taking to the streets in ways they have not done in double decades. but their activism, the efforts to change the prevailing discourse about citizenship, its rights, privileges, and responsibilities is not unprecedented. those precedents extend back to -- beyond the protests of the 1960's, the decade of demonstrations when they are most often compared, to the earliest years of the american experiment in democratic self government. here to explore with us tonight are four preeminent historians. stephen kantrowitz is a historian of race, politics, and citizenship in the 19th century united states and teaches courses on the civil war era, slavery, and slave revolt. his second book, more than
