freddie gray was abandoned by her husband through divorce with five kids and on welfare. she got off welfare in three years and sent all five of her kids to college. when they were in the process of going her neighbors said ms. gray, how did you do that? let me show you. she started each month and started there and the community got together and sent the force for first four kids off to college from public housing and when they came back they said we're ashamed to bring our friends home because of the drug addicts and environment of violence and kimmy says housing authorities are not destroying our communities, we are. therefore we must change. she organized the resident management organization and they just took charge and within two years drove the drug dealers out. when we go to court, everyone will testify and we were able to help her and she turned that whole community around so now they have sent over 400 kids to college, almost eliminating teen pregnancy in there because if your boy wanted to impress a girl, he would dribble the basketball, he would carry a book ev

we've seen freddie gray shot and killed, dying from police brutality. another earlier caller had mentioned the purpose of the police, all i want is you process from them and if we can get due process, i will be a better citizen, they will better citizens, and to selectively prosecute black and brown people, but white people to can understand this that even in their communities, they would get disparate treatment according to their economic standings. the idea that we can allow a lying, filled a jerk white house to decide what we think is right -- is like the nazis. let's please come a week of america and vote in november. int: moving on to gene miami, arizona. caller: good morning. they are going to have a walkout in arizona school teachers, which i totally support. host: what are the teachers looking for? caller: higher pay. host: anything else with benefits? caller: and for support staff and so on. let me say this. that 79-year-old disabled -- vet, and there's got to be something wrong in this country when you have school teachers that make $55,000 th

they have a report, too, which i looked up after freddie gray, and so it's almost like kind of a second coming because as these things have been happening, newark police were under this consent decree so i looked up their report from 1967, freddie gray happened in baltimore so i looked up their report from 1968, we're now on the 50th anniversary of kerner and there is a whole national conversation we need to have. the fact is it goes back to the fundamental question of the american will to break its addiction to racism and white supremacy. [applause] >> you got the support there. bill, let me ask you this. you saw the mood of your reporting in the 1960s of african-american communities, and you've heard about and seen reports, maybe first-hand knowledge of the mood now. do you see similarities or is there a cause -- >> when the kerner commission report came out, i was certainly stunned by the idea they had said right there on the page, headed toward two societies, separate and unequal. and then, went on to talk about all of the problems that the black community had. it also went on to cr

reporter: the city, with its own tensions between the community and police following the death of freddie gray in the spring of 2015. criminal charges were brought against multiple officers in that case. none were found guilty. back in sacramento, protesters this weekend hoping clark's death leads to change. >> let's use our outrage for something positive. >> zachary, i want to go back to the grandmother who was protesting and was struck by the police car. you have some new reporting on her condition? >> reporter: the family says the woman was released last night, but she's in a lot of pain. they tell us deputies checked on her in the hospital, but the family will retain an attorney and the sheriff's office will launch an investigation. >> zachary, thank you. >>> next tonight, the emergency landing at jfk in new york. the delta flight losing an engine because of a bird strike moments after takeoff. here's adrienne bankert. >> reporter: what began as a routine takeoff for a jfk to denver bound plane -- >> you're clear for departure. have a nice day. >> reporter: -- within minutes turning to pan

, but almost universally male, so rodney king, oscar grant, it's been mike brown, eric gardner, freddy gray the list goes on and even this week i think if we ask the question the first name that came to mind this week in terms of police violence we would hear stephon clark cannot cynthia clements who was killed by police outside of chicago last week also. i'm often then asked why is that the case and i think my answer always focuses on the power of the story and the narrative. the story that is so deeply entrenched that racial profiling and police violence is something that happens exclusively to black men and we perceive it to be not transgender and not gay even though they might be. and that violence against women is something that only happens to white women in privacy and some of us out here are the cold experiencing violence of both kinds everyday without it the scene as part of those stories. so, the goal with invisible no more was truly expand our understanding of police violence and racial profiling and not incarceration of the country by bringing in to that narrative the stories of

we have seen walter scott, freddie gray who never should have been taken into custody. in baton rouge, we have seen what happened in sacramento, we saw a local issue, a man in a police chokehold, saying i can't breathe. but the problem is there is still no justice, no accountability. we have been beating the drum in the black community from the time the slave was brought here, since slavery. it is the truth. the issue in the black community, considered myth and conjecture, now you have the video to prove it. what happens next? is the thing. the reason why he fell into it by mistake, talking about skip gates, a knee-jerk reaction. he goes home to get to his house and the neighbors call the police on him. >> a professor at harvard. >> the one who tells you your genealogy when you watch on pbs. police come and handcuff him in his own home. he is trying to explain he actually lives there. >> this is my house. >> and the pres. knows him. he was in trouble for that. and then it continued to happen. trayvon was before the second time and we saw the shift. when he said he could

going through such a traumatic event with the freddy gray death we are not the first city to go through an event like that los angeles and new york certainly has. they recover more quickly than we have it's almost as if some of our leaders insist on not learning from the past or applying lessons of what works to save more lives in the future. it is very sad. it's not like we don't know what needs to be done but new york and los angeles they adapt you always have to change. >> take care we will see you. >> you have been very patient. thank you. [inaudible] >> you are very inspiring. i appreciate it. >> this has been a crystallizing presidency. with their attitudes i don't think you'll ever see them sit on the sidelines waiting for the perfect candidate again. i haven't looked in the illinois primary yet i don't think it is that big but probably with the general that will be big. [inaudible] she is very focused and concerned on climate change. >> i was at dartmouth last nigh night. and talking about what we can do for the locals at those levels that is exciting. the technology and the cos

understood so he'd probably be writing a song about the killing of stephan clark way he did with freddie grayunarmed black man who died tragically. he's be disgusted of two young black men arrested walking into a starbucks, but he would be heartened today by the many examples of young, black artists breaking through barriers. he loved kendrick lamar. won a pulitzer prize this week for his album u, damn. he was a big fan of his. he would have cheered beyonce for her historic coachella set. she's the first black woman to headline and she played for two hours. on the time 100 list. ryan cub lehr. tiffany haddish, rihanna. so many other young brown faces. he would have loved to see so many people streaming through those doors. so i like to close my show with the same words he used to close his show, especially meaningful tonight. peace and love for one another. thanks, prince. how do you win at business? stay at laquinta. where we're changing with contemporary make-overs. then, use the ultimate power handshake, the upper hander with a double palm grab. who has the upper hand now? start winning to

when you look at freddie gray and baltimore and what happened in the south, we have -- i think that sometimese have to put ourselves in someone else's shoes and don't understand what it is like to be a young black man in america and that you are instantly profiled, that you are instantly feared and at night when someone sees if i as a white woman versus a black man, there is an instant different assumption. we have to do something about it. we have a real crisis in this country. >> in terms of doing something about it. i want to play what charles barkley said last night with regard to addressing the problems like police brutality in communities of color. here it is. >> we as black people have not held democrats accountable for taking votes for all these years. if you have us vote for you, we have to hold them accountable. our neighborhoods are not better. our schools are not better. crime is not better. so we got to start holding these politicians accountable. >> charles barkley has been saying this for several years. we heard the very same sentiment during the 2016 fight for the democratic n

saying, 4,000 americans slaughtered in chicago, we want scroll to the names,s, trayvon martin, freddie graye names, we never heard of these 4,000 people shot anddea killed. >> that is because chicago is run by democrats and they never want to hold up a mirror to what they are doing, so that is why we neverer heard those numbers. 4,000, that's about the same number of americans that were slaughtered in the iraq war. it's a war zone. trump offered to send thep national guard and the democrats majorly opposed it. what it comes down to is trump is trying to be effective and we are seeing that we have great results with black america -- >> sean: what do you say? >> i want to hear something about black americans bring a priority tomorrow. i would lovemo to hear a focus n mental health, education, health care, those are issues that he can help us with tomorrow. >> sean: the obamacare worked out great for everybody. >> it sounds like you are signing up for eight years of trump. he's doing a great job, the numbers are better, he needs more time in office to continue to do an amazing job. it sounds l

our city went through such a traumatic event with freddie gray's death. we're not the first city to go through an event like that. >> yeah. most recover more quickly than we have. almost as if there are some of our leaders who insist on not learning from the past and not applying those lessons and what works to save more lives in the future. it's very sad. last year we had another record homicide rate after leading the country for 10 years in rate of reduction of violent crime. it's not like we don't know what needs to be done. ur leaders just need to adapt. you always have to change and adapt. >> appreciate your time. mr. o'malley: thank you. we'll see you, matt. you've been very patient here . re today mr. o'malley: this has ban chrystalizing presidency with their belief system, with their attitudes. i don't think you'll ever see them sitting on the sidelines waiting for the perfect candidate again. >> i have a sophomore in high chool and she is involved. mr. o'malley: big votes in virginia. i haven't looked at the turnout in the illinois primary. i don

freddie gray. but even this week if we asked the question and not just cynthia clemens who was killed byof police outside of chicago. in my answer always focuses on that narrative and that is so deeply entrenched and it happened exclusively to black men that we perceive not to be transgender and not gay. and violence against women is something that only happens to white women and some of us are just out here in the cold. so the goal was really to expand our understanding of police violence to bring into that narrative the story that have driven the women's population so that rate of growth has increased at a rate 50% greater so what are the stories for women who wind up and then predominantly black women?do so that doubles again looking at the population in jail increased 14 times over the last decade maybe we are not doing as much hard time inde prison but going in and out of local jail cells instead of maybe going up say -- upstate but even less healthcare or less support but that is not part of

freddie gray happened, looked at their report from 68. we are now the 50th anniversary of kerner, and there's a national conversation when he to have. it goes back to the fundamental question of the american will to break its addiction to racism and white supremacy. [applause] mr. prince: bill, you may ask you this. you saw the mood of your reporting in the 1960's of african-american communities and you heard about and have seen reports may be firsthand knowledge of the mood now. do you see similarities or is there -- mr. plante: when the kerner commission report came out, i was stoned -- stunned by the idea that they said to societies, severed and unequal. and then went on to talk about -- two societies, separate and unequal, then went on to talk about the problems that black society has of and went on to criticize the media, which was deserved. but i see some improvement. but i don't see that much as changed. mr. prince: how about in the newsrooms? has there been much improvement, or are we still saying there is so much more to do? ms.

rodney king, it has been oscar graham, mike brown, eric gardner, freddie gray, the list goes on.his week if we ask the question, first name became to mind this week in terms of police violence we would hear stephan clark and not cynthia clemens who was killed by police outside chicago. why is that the case? my answer focuses on the power of the story and the narrative and the story that is so deeply entrenched the racial profiling and police violence, it hasn't exclusively to black blue plumed perceived not to be transgender and not gay even though they might be and violence against women is something that only happens to white women in private spaces, without it being seen as any of those stories. the goal was to expand our understanding of police violence and racial profiling and mass criminalization by bringing into that narrative the story of black women and girls that have driven the growth of 700%. and 50% greater. and were predominantly black women continue to be incarcerated twice as much is right women. and in jail increased 14 times in the foot past we for decades, wome

we have seen walter scott, freddie gray who never should have been taken into custody. in baton rouge, we have seen what happened in sacramento, we saw a local issue, a man in a police chokehold, saying i can't breathe. but the problem is there is still no justice, no accountability. we have been beating the drum in the black community from the time the slave was brought here, since slavery. it is the truth. the issue in the black community, considered myth and conjecture, now you have the video to prove it. what happens next? is the thing. the reason why he fell into it by mistake, talking about skip gates, a knee-jerk reaction. he goes home to get to his house and the neighbors call the police on him. >> a professor at harvard. >> the one who tells you your genealogy when you watch on pbs. police come and handcuff him in his own home. he is trying to explain he actually lives there. >> this is my house. >> and the pres. knows him. he was in trouble for that. and then it continued to happen. trayvon was before the second time and we saw the shift. when he said he could

it was the high school students were basically walking out of the high schools in aftermath of freddie gray felt led to the unrest that you all saw and the portrayal by old african-americans was less than ideal. we had to check ourselves because we had these generational dynamics that served under my ability to move forward and we need to pay attention to it. dr. malveaux, the trump republican agenda is not a benign agenda. can you tell us what f no nationalism means, and how it is being practiced on capitol hill and in the white house right now? vis-À-vis in terms of how it pertains to our economic status and progress. [laughing] let me start with something much all to talk about it willing to talk about more. racist, sexist, predatory capitalists altogether the racist, sexist, predatory, capitalism. we've always lived in the capitalist system of predatory capitalism is when more is taken. if you look at the recession that happen in 1973 when recovery occurred, the bottom 80% got about 60% of the recovery in the top 10% got like 40%. that's not fair but is better than no. when we came out

i mean, we saw in baltimore there was more concern for the cvs window than for freddie gray.> right. >> so when we're talking about these systems of white supremacy, it's symbol. >>. it's education. it's an issue of voting. it's all of these things. so here we are 50 years later, i don't see any separation between the struggle that happened before me arriving here. i'm stepping into a struggle that began long before i came. >> beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. dr. lafayette, you along with many are valiant soldiers who are here today, worked with dr. king. and in the last push of the poor people's campaign, which was enduring enormous criticism from without and deep skepticism from within, you were there in those last days. in fact, you were in the hotel room with doctor king when he received the call to go over to mason temple. but you also were a visionary helping to craft the strategy and the policy that would be implemented in terms of trying to reach out to this last element, this last leg of the movement, which is economic inequality. tell us about your own personal stor

begin to really give back the structural onion of baltimore, you should want to know not why did freddie grayt arrested, what happened in that band, but why was living in that particular part of west baltimore and we been able to get the job even if you wanted to get you a job on the other side of town? and why was he and his sister so let poison in the 1990s even though we know anything about lead poisoning? you have to ask all those questions and i think until we deal with that we will continue to think a black face is a way we that racism doesn't exist when, in fact, that's not true. [applause] >> can i add one word to that? the word that's not there is ghetto. the coroner commission said we need to dismantle the ghetto. concentrated poverty is a government institution, and if you look -- what's happening, the inequality talk about between upper income people, black people and low income people, the structural thing, the structural consequences of concentrated black poverty, a situation with excess is aberrational. only 1% of concentrated poverty school succeed regardless of race. if that

it was clear with the uprisings and the week of freddy gray, the killing and murder i would put something out there on policing. it wasn't clear how far i was going to go into whether he would call for legalization of cannabis. but i believe that it's important to listen before you leave. so i went out there and i listened. i listened to the handyman driving me to the airport who was approaching 60-years-old and i said if you are so brilliant and leave your church why are you working as a handyman and she said i spent most of my life working in hospitals and whenever the change emerged to do a back ground check when i was about 22-years-old, police officer arrested me for having one marijuana seed in my vicinity they decided it must be mine. i can't get off my record and they fire me every time a new company would buy a hostile chain i'm working for so i work as a handyman. one is a former lieutenant. they were spiraling out of control and said there's two things we could agree on no one is sure why they were spiraling survived the last couple of years and now they started to level off of

it was clear with my family rooted with where the uprisings occurred in the wake of freddie gray, killing, murder, that would put something out there policing, and it wasn't clear just how far i was going to go, whether or not i would call for the legalization of cannabis. but i believe it is important to listen before you lead. i went out there and i listened. i listened to the handy man who was driving me to the airport, deacon inlliant man, his church, approaching 60 years old, handymen, and i said, you are so brilliant. whyyou read your church, are you working as a handyman? he said, i spent most of my life working in hospitals and when the chain's marriage, they find -- when the chain or just they found when i was 22 years old, a police officer arrested me for having one marijuana seed in my vicinity. ashtray atwas in an my friends house but the officer saw it and thought it must be mine. i cannot get it off of my records and they fire me every time a new company buys the chain i working for. i was tired of the indignity so i work as a handyman. i listened to the police officers acro
