what george wallace and others like him wanted was all-white schools. don't reallyools exist anymore. but all black schools do. at is the segregation today, is that 60 years after brown and really i shows through a single generation of one family, integration is gone for many students. >> in new york, a study shows new york has the most segregated schools in the country. >> absolutely. this is one of the things where i hoped the story would do some myth-busting. we all have this perception of the south. the south did integrate. we have never seen true desegregation in the northeast or midwest. if you look at in terms of neighborhoods and schools, the most segregated parts of the consistently been in the midwest and in the northeast. >> 73% of charter schools in new york city were deemed so-called apartheid schools where white enrollment was below 1%? >> yes. and overall of new york public schools, it is about 1/4 of black students. in chicago, 1/3 of black students in the so-called apartheid schools. >> why apartheid schools? >> they call them apartheid

party'sored the financial footing and he ran the thatconvention so smoothly carina scott king and george wallace agreed to share the same stage. to get aned again impossibly complicated trade bill through congress. he knew it could be done. at one point during negotiations with the europeans, he drove a list of desired american agricultural concessions. he wrote it out on a nice tablecloth at geneva' jerk continental hotel. --dy maÎtre d'confronted him when the maÎtre d'confronted him , he pulled out his wallet and bought the tablecloth and gave it to his dining companions. the trade bill passed in the house, 94-6 in the senate. president bush asked him to as u.s. the age of 73 ambassador to a soviet union on the brink of collapse. he responded again, here am i. noted that strauss involvedof diplomacy homemade not chose. nachos. he wants mischievously invited richard nixon to the ambassador's. it was the same night he was hosting ben bradley. for all that he achieved in his career, the ultimate ,ccomplishment in strauss' life second only to his beloved family what the law firm that still bears h

you can't say that word that george wallace used to say back in the 1950ed. but you say welfare, you say bussing. >> urban. >> black people aren't stupid. they understand this. they know what les james was saying. >> james, you take over here, what's a reasonable way that commentators like us, black and white and brown, hispanic, how do you talk about it without sounding like you're priscy, above all ethnic loyalties. you have no racial identity at all when everybody has some. and maybe they should have some. how do you establish a standard of political conduct on race? >> right. see, well, i'm much less interested in some kind of color blind tone or toalties and much more interested in talking about the substances of the channels we face. the reality is we're very, very good at focusing on individual sort of incidences around race and racism. there's a project called race forward that did great work. when trayvon martin happened in the media, we will talk about it. it's tougher for us in the media to have the sustained kind of dialogue around institutional r

think of it another way, if there had been a foreign aid program that supplied george wallace the support for is segregationist regime in alabama and we object to that because it was, in fact, financing material welfare projects to improve the well-being of blacks in alabama. we object to that because george wallace had fundamentally the wrong principle, segregationist's principles in which blacks and whites were not equal. the white battle has to be one first. and so i know that is a point of view that is not going to help you do your job if you are working in development, but i hope is a point of view that will open your mind to things that indirectly will help you. addressing their roots of poverty, we need not just the right operations but the right principles, we need to get the principles right. as not been happening. fundamentally we are not the level where we really, really do care enough about the rights of the port of we would protest when there are rights violations in uganda, rights violations in other places. and so that is the debate that must happen and is happening around

. >> black community, both churches and the naacp forgave george wallace before he was dying. there are times, i think, when people say all right you got a terrible past, you are forgiven because you are willing to step forward and say you were wrong. this guy has not. that's the difference. >> it's still early. a couple housekeeping notes here. i said he was democrat. he's a registered republican but yet he's donated to quite a few democrats. he's donated to democrat as well. and there are 15 minutes of tape released so far and it's crazy some of the stuff he's saying. there are 45 minutes and maybe he's quiet until more comes out. >> how do they get the tapes? >> that's what i want to know. she had to give it to them, right? >> tmz is now the place to go to shop. >> doesn't it sound like she gave them tapes? >> i recorded so much tough of you, bob and when i pull that, it's going to be millions. >> that was a very clear tape. >> she clearly recorded it and was planning on doing something with it. >> is it a woman scorned type of thing? >> it could be. >>> charles barkley, th

two ways of looking at it. 1963, 50 years ago, segregation ruled. 17 states, george wallace had just been inaugurated governor with his famous speech, segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever. he talked about nothing but raise. 50 years ago in september this month, he flew to baltimore, my home city, and announced that he was going to run for president and never mentioned race but he never mentioned segregation again. he turned on a dime when the march on washington and those birmingham demonstrations made it obvious that in the future, overt segregation and talking overtly about race was no longer going to be respectable. he switched his message adroitly. he said he was running only to restore local government against big government by bureaucrats, to radical judges and tax-and-spend legislators. and that he had never denigrated the race of any person or group of people in history, and people wanted to believe it and that's the beginning of this remembered history and that's the beginning of the book category of modern politics. and if you don't believe that big

we see bull connor, we see george wallace standing in the door when he doesn't belong there. that we are reading into what is not a racial story, a racial story at every turn. that is sort of part of the thesis, right? >> no, i don't say it's not a racial story. that's important. what i say is it is a racial story. that the liberal analysis in the obama age has gotten increasingly racial and that's completely correct, that liberals have come to understand that white racism is deeply embedded historically and sociologically with conservatism. but what i also say is at some point you can take that idea and make that your only way of looking at politics and that can lead you aground that makes you unable sometimes to deal with ideas on their own terms. and that can create a kind of poisonous dynamic. now it's not solely responsible or even mostly responsible for a lot of the poisons the dynamics of race but an element of responsibility, an element, not a majority, that liberals have to take to themselves to treat their opponents fairly and sometimes to try to understand the way

and 1963, jfk had to send federal marbles to alabama, george wallace stood on the school house tkaofrplte was no different than bundy. he was saying you don't have any right to enforce the law. my question is what's more patriotic, belief in the law and constitution as it has been clearly articulated. is that the patriotic position of the u.s. government in this case? or are the patriots the ones who wrap themselves and say we don't have to obey the law. by the way, we're farming on federal land we're not paying for. you taxpayers are supporting my business. >> these minority groups needed most the protection of the federal government. it does run over and over again to this sentiment of losing some protections for minorities. it's built into it. congressman, the last question to you. as an individual of color on the hill, do you think there should be more condemnation of that part of the movement, of the obliteration of federal protections when it comes to minorities? >> well, i'm not sure exactly what you're asking me. what i can tell you. >> the individuals who jumped on this band wag

just five months after his inauguration address, george wallace tried to block two black students from entering the university of alabama, but he was forced to step aside and the university was desegregated. a little over a year later president lyndon johnson signed the civil rights act of 1964 into law. remember, it had been ten years since the supreme court's unanimous brown versus the board of education decision ruling separate but equal had no place in public education. so progress. okay. maybe not. in march of 1967 the state of alabama had to be ordered to desegregate after a federal agency concluded the state still had an official policy favoring racial segregation in public education. fast forward to ach 1979 tuscaloosa as one of the 20 most segregated school systems in the u.s. a federal judge had to order the city segregated high schools and middle schools to merge. it took a few decades, and they didn't to it on their own, but desegregation was the law of the land. schools are integrated. we have progress, right? that brings us to today. in a resegregation of a crisis of sepa

george wallace would always say i'm not racist. i believe in the constitution and states rights. are the people who are deeply opposed to marriage equality and at this point is it fair to call them prejudiced? is it fair to call them bigoted if they hold those views? david? >> i wouldn't want to call somebody bigoted. i think it is fair to call them prejudiced. that's almost logical conclusion it if you are in favor of depriving certain citizens of certain civil rights i think that can only be described as prejudiced. i think you have got to draw a distinction between what people believe and practice in terms of their own personal life in their own personal religious beliefs and what they try to do in terms of imposing those beliefs on the rest of society. we have a first amendment in the constitution that guarantees everyone freedom to exercise their religion but at the same time that same first amendment forbids anyone from trying to impose those religious principles on the rest of society. so while i have enormous respect for people's individual religious beliefs and believe t

what george wallace and what other segregationists wanted was that white children would not attend schoolsblack children. those days are largely gone. there haare there few all white schools left in this country but there are a lot of all black schools. you could say the segregationists didn't win but the integrationists haven't won either. >> your takeaway from all this, everything you've learned, is what? >> well, the takeaway is our educational system is still separate but unequal and i think we have at this point gone back to believing that we can make these segregated schools equal and we have yet to do so. >> nicole hanna jones, great piece, thank you for talking with me. >> thank you for having me. >>> violent storms headed to the nation's midsection. the very latest in a live report. plus, an historic vote on the campus of northwestern university. mao it could change the landscape of college athletics. in the nation, we reward safe driving. add vanishing deductible from nationwide insurance and get $100 off for every year of safe driving. we put members first. join the nation. ♪ na
