taking what we had to say on the streets of harlem which is the stop and frisk don't stop crime stop and frisk is a crime and we're taking that into the court as part of our legal battle now the judge has so far not been all that favorable to it in fact he has ruled that discussion of the stop and frisk policy is not relevant to the case he has not allowed. any of the officers who were testifying about it to be asked their opinion of stop and frisk so it's going to be a battle but we are intending to bring it in there because look they are criminalizing a whole section of young people and this is something that we cannot sit back and allow to happen you know like stop and frisk serves as a pipeline to racially targeted mass incarceration you literally have millions and millions of people who live their lives in this country caught up in the criminal justice system and stop and frisk in that kind of racial profiling which again we saw in the trayvon martin case is how you end up there we cannot allow that to go on we have to hit it we have to go resistance to it and we have to beat it

of harlem, he didn't have a base of voters to draw from. he didn't have a civil rights organization early on, so he wasn't like roy wilkens of the naacp or thurgood marshall. and he didn't emerge and form an organization early on like martin luther king jr. and the scls, so he didn't have that organizational basis to tap into. another reason comes into play, and that is rustin was openly gay for his era. and for that reason he decided, well, let me add another point. he was also arrested on charges of lewd vagrancy at different points, so those who were civil rights leaders chose different times for him to step into the shadows. and he did that sometimes willingly and sometimes not willingly. buy yard also, i want to emphasize, was a great speaker. early on he was known for his ability to be a great speaker. and that ability faded into the background as these arrests happened and as people became concerned about husband sexuality -- about his sexuality tainting the movement, about his arrest anticipating the movement and also about his root

harlem and bedford stiverson, people come together in rally against this act, what they see as an act of aggression, this act of police brutality and violence kind of spurs from those collective gatherings. in the end, one person dies, 500 are injured, 465 are arrested. and there's up to $1 million in property damage in new york. again, that's 1964. not many histories of the mid-'60s disorders really takes that new york moment into account. people really start to wake up and pay attention to the possibilities of urban violence in black sections of cities in 1965 with los angeles. which hersh, he made reference to it. violence spreads throughout the watts section of los angeles in 1965 for six days. again, in response to an altercation between an african-american citizen and a police officer. six days of violence that results in 34 dead people, 1,032 injured, 3,400 arrested. the national guard is called in. and over 970 buildings were damaged and destroyed estimated at $40 million in property loss. that's los angeles 1965. 1967 is a long, hot summer in the language of the 1960s, insofa

she is expected to be elegant and have a sense of style, like harlem for nine -- carla brunei. hollande's partner has kept a fairly low profile so far, and that is something the french may find hard to tell of a rigid tolerate. >> two years ago, hollande looked like this. his arrest of nickname cost laughter across france. today, his 15 kilos lighter and comes across as dynamic and feisty. in france, popular opinion is that such a trends -- transformation has to be due to a woman. in the case of france what hollande -- friends what -- francois hollande, she is valley, a seasoned political journalist. his side, hollande was able to compete with sarkozy's constant media presence. even the glamour factor of sarkozy's wife, the former model, could not save his campaign. valerie comes from a less privileged background. her father was disabled in world war ii and her mother worked as a cashier. valerie became the host of political talk shows on commercial television. she is known as a tough journalist, but the role of the premier game premierdame -- dame requires other factors. >> it

he said, we're jumping in harlem, ain't we? i said yeah. okay. what's that got to do with me? he said let me tell you something. do you weigh 1338 pounds. how tall are you? 5'4" and a half. you got to astronaut half in there. i said because i am 5'4" 1/2. and he said he's 4'5". i said i got nothing to do with that. and he said, yeah, well, you know, he said, look, let me tell you guys what this is all about. you're 138 pounds, 5'4" 1/2. let me tell you something. i asked you if we're jumping in harmony and i said yes, i know. and he said god damn it, and he may have cursed, but i don't want to curse, he said let me tell you something. you son of a bitch, we're jumping in harmony. the reason you got that, we don't want to go looking for you in spain.

memories are fresh from the day in 1989 when her 19-month-old son shane disappeared from a playground in harlem. >> i figure he's out there somewhere, we just have to find him. >> the arrest in the etan patz case has given families of missing children new hope, and changes since etan's abduction have been dramatic. >> in 1979, you couldn't enter missing children information into the fbi's national crime computer. you could enter information about stolen cars but not stolen children. >> patz's disappearance led president ronald reagan to sign legislation establishing the first national database of missing children. a critical step to take on a daunting problem. every year, an estimated 200,000 children are abducted by family members. 58,000 by non-family members. 115 are stranger abductions where the child is killed, held for ransom, or taken with the intention to keep them. technology has been a game changer. pictures that once went out on milk cartons are now sent out instantly. on websites for missing children, 24-hour cable, and amber alerts. >> can you give me a physical description? >> at

you might have had an element of someone similar to doing a reverend jones in a harlem, new york. but not running around oklahoma, not running around the southwestern region of the country. everyday life, special events of community. parades and commencements and the homemakers group. it's a slice of life that he -- if he had not had the wisdom to capture via film would have been lost forever. i've never seen any film before in my life. blacks that own oil wells here in oklahoma. covered several families, and i'm not talking about dozen, two or three dozen barrels a day. i'm talking about 2,000, 3,000 barrels a day these families were making. these people got wealthy. not rich, wealthy. those were members of his congregati congregation. again, oklahoma's such a unique situation when it comes to the black experience. and reverend jones, again, we were blessed to have a person like that to be able to chronicle that on the technology of the day called film. i was a child of the '60s. i grew up in the watch section of los angeles in the 1960s. and i'm going to give you a little illust

no, we never -- and that was in harlem, instead of snow, it was very deep water. and they say to you, you're going to have it easy. you're going into a barn. you won't have to lay out on the ground. we went into the barn, we certainly did, but the barn had no roof. here we are back again. we had a very, very serious incident that happened. every morning on the day, every morning when we were up there, the soldier would look at our lines and he would go like this. the next morning, same guy, same thing. so we had a forward observer there. he said -- you ain't allowed to curse here. anyhow, he said, i'll get him. he threw the art artillery in. gave him, boom. the artillery hit. the next morning, there he is. he said i got a surprise for him. tomorrow morning, you watch. the next morning, here comes the krout. he was the most surprised guy in the world. his body ended up in scranton. it was over his head, the shell instead of hitting burst over his head and all we seen was a lot of little pieces. the birds had a picnic because, i'm telling you, this is what war is. t

what do you think is -- not that it's more than dance theater of harl harlem.ly is the lesson we teach when your body shows up in that space? >> i think that when you talk about alien dance theater of harlem, it's a complete different thing. u. it's a modern company, and alia is its own company. for a black woman to enter a white man's world is a completely different subject and those companies, the elite companies in the world are still closed to us and it shouldn't be that way but american ballet theater is the closest company, having two african-american female soloists before me, they are the first and only company that has done that in the history of top classical ballet companies. >> absolutely. we'll continue our conversation and bring in another voice. african-american woman, kelly hall-tom kins will join us. she's a violinist. i'm so excited about this conversation. for three hours a week, i'm a coach. but when i was diagnosed with prostate cancer... i needed a coach. our doctor was great, but with so many tough decisions i felt lost. unitedhealthcare

we had opera singers, we had the boys choir of harlem, i think, for one of the ladies lunches. we always try to -- you would try to have sense who the visiting head of state, if it was the state dinner, if they had a preference, whether it was classical or temporary, and we'd try to book them. and booking the entertainment is always challenging. >> has it gotten harder? have you ever had an entertainer say, a, we want to be paid, or, b, we won't come because of politics? >> no, we didn't ask them. no. no, but they -- no, most of them usually came from new york, and so i think we sent them shuttle tickets, a driver would pick them up at the airport, we'd put them up at the hay-adams. they would come to dinner. >> and the honor thing, clearly. >> they got a program with their name on it, and they were -- they were treated well. it was fine. the wonderful thing, one of the many wonderful things about being at the white house were those white house operators, so you could find people, and one time, this will really date me, but i was trying to reach bing crosby, and i reached mr. c

the law says he's been stopped and terrificked by new york city police a half dozen times in his harlem neighborhood. what's that feel like when you're stopped and friskd? >> you just feel a sense of hopelessness and that, you know, you're less than human. >> reporter: pert is a witness in a lawsuit charging the policy that allows n.y.p.d. officers to detain anyone they find suspicious discriminates against minorities. last year 685,000 people were stopped and frisked. 84% were black and latino. 88% of those stopped were not arrested nor given summons. the judge's decision to grant class action status allows thousands to join the suit, targeting the policy itself and not the action of an individual officer. what does it mean to get this kind of... for a judge to say, hey, this has probably happened to many people who will never sue. >> i think it says that we can have faith in the law. that, you know, it is possible to seek change and assist them. >> reporter: new york city's mayor bloomberg defends the policy saying it has taken 6,000 guns off the streets in the last eight years, makin

monitors confirm tanks and heavy machine guns have been used to pound the western syrian town of harlem where activists say more than ninety people have been killed by government forces this week a u.n. report accused both the regime and the rebels of gross human rights violations in france are the friends of syria group that seemed to remove president assad and one field position condemned the violence and called an urgent meeting there are also reports that the free syrian army is now refusing to abide by the ruling might. there for it who's been covering events in syria for some time says politics has to go on the back burner when people are losing their lives day. is just absolutely devastating tragedy for those people confirmed killed for children there is no ceasefire it simply doesn't exist this crisis that was just becoming increasingly militarized and having this devastatingly high death toll and so we actually spoke to the acting foreign minister in syria he was in moscow just the other day i asked him where the final responsibility. lies what's happening in the country right

president elect and he still refused the results of those presidential elections they want a rerun of the harlem mainstreet elections be a believe them to be wrought with allegations of elect fraud but unless this is proving key here today among those in attendance there still managing even though they have an aging support base to drum up support for this message they'll bring over an estimated ten thousand people in attendance. i would take them although we know that over one hundred thousand people are out in the streets today but not every pro discourses out tell us more. or no it's not so we have the communist party we have united russia are the main the ruling party in the state do and also the third and fourth largest factions in the state duma staging protests and demonstrations as well being a just russia party and the liberal democrats respectively but while no civil absentee from today's proceedings in central moscow that's the boy driven the protest movement for free and fair elections they garnered much of the media attention on the back of december's parliamentary elections initial
