>> going back basically 100 years, harlem has been the place, it was like a magnet. 20 years into harlem as a black neighborhood, people describing it as a race capital. where the aspiration of black folks could focus. where they could thrive. it would provide a model for what could happen in other places. whether it was for music or someone who wanted to be a leader or businessman, where you can't test your skills but also for everyday people. the great migration that carried so many out of the south and out of the rural lifestyle into the center of this metropolis was really for every day people just as thrilling and a place where every day aspirations could kind of be worked out. tavis: that is not to suggest, though -- while harlem is obviously unique unto itself. that is not to suggest that there are not harlems around the country in other places. >> right. there certainly are. even during the historical time. there were other places that were just as important. chicago and d.c. and even in places that you wouldn't think of as having strong black communities like denver and seattle

the harlem rens were from harlem. the harlem globetrotters had a different approach to things.ir owner was abe, and he wanted to take the approach his team was not going to be threatening. they cater more to a morant negative image of black americans. tavis: you mean more clownish? >> some of it was kind of annoying. they would be playing a basketball game and then would start shooting dice. the greeting. rens were hard-core warriors on the court. they played very serious games. they were not out there to entertain anybody. tavis: what opportunities did they have even though they could not play in the nba? what interaction did they have with the best of the white players? >> they would play the best of the per national teams in barnstorming games. those games were normally lucrative financially because the white community wanted to see the black guys loose and they did not lose. [laughter] it started a rival rate and with the best of the white teams were the original celtics. they played them a lot. they would play them in a lot of different areas. it was always an exhibition g

if you look at the promised academy and the harlem children, there's two things possible for that to happen, and it's much more difficult than other cities, one which is with the wealth of philanthropic energy which is special of the city. it makes things work and things like the manhattan institute work. i'm strongly in favor of it. [laughter] the other thing, of course, is you can get great teachers. there are people who are, you know, willing to work for the promise academy which would be harder in a smaller and less, less a city with less richness in human capital, so the -- i continue to be optimistic about new york. it requires leadership at the center. there could be a bad term like who will be the next mayor, but i think people basically get that the energy of new yorkers will ensure a relatively good government outcome going forward, and that makes me optimistic about the city. i'm less optimistic about the declining cities with less education. i'm less optimistic they will be able to create change in this area. the good news is you start off on such a low base in education
