it has been a pleasure to work with harlem and countless managers before you. some of us keep count. >> how many? eight or nine? >> oh, you underestimate the count. but it has been a pleasure to work with harlem and i'm enjoyed working with steve, and michael and today, sharon who is now retired and michelle in her place. many attorneys in the city attorney's office and countless. it has been a pleasure and with a number of other staff people, management levels, people with offices and people who work in the field, it has been a true honor and a treat. in thinking back about my career, the first time i met your staff career was in 1967. i was at fonsaca and in 1977 i got became a consultant and met more people and in 1984 gene killager was a general manager and wooed me to work in general service. at the beginning of my career i never even thought of working in the public sector. and i never thought that my introduction to that would be the city and county of san francisco. it's kind of a trial by fire in some ways but it has been rewarding. extremely rewarding

did we learn nothing from the 19 70's harlem globetrotters. ladies and gentlemen, there's an even bigger biracial problem in this country-- barack obama. last night, our so-called commander in chief attacked our tuesday night lineup to talk about syria. we had to miss "america's got talent," just to watch "america's got serious reservations about this." ( laughter ) to get the support of the american people, obama hit below the belt, if you wear your belt right above your heart. jim? >> assad's government gassed to death over 1,000 people, including hundreds of children. >> stephen: now he's playing the death card. that's not fair. no one can resist that, other than joe lhota. ( laughter ) i say-- i say, folks, i say, if obama reallimented to sell us syria, he should have taken a page from the people selling us siri because pushing the iphone and a war are a lot alike-- you just say that the new one is smaller, faster, and cheaper, and people will buy it, even though they've lshed got one and they're still paying off the previous model.

good afternoon, harlem. thank you. thank you for the introduction, sheldon. so i guess mine are more three truths than three myths. i begin my book, "body and soul," with the sentence health is politics by other means which means to suggest that when we're talking about issues of health and science that we can be talking about test tubes and laboratory benches, and, you know, advanced scientific research, but we're also talking about contests over challenges to resources over health care access over access to scientific information, health education and the like. so that's one truism. the second is that the civil rights tradition, the black freedom tradition, the black protest tradition was always a health activist tradition and and a health politics tradition. so we can think back to marr cuts garvey's unia organization which had a cadre of nurses called the black cross nurses. we can think back to the powerful and brave fannie lou hamer who talked on the stoop about being sick and tired of being sick and tired and gave us the poignant euphemism mississippi

organization that i belong to in the anti apartheid headquarters and the fillmore district is known as the harlem of the west and marcus bookstore is very well known where bill clinton went after he left the white house. they admired the bookstore. i would buy literature for their grandchildren. their young adults and temperatures very astute and very well - they understand their cultural and they're going on to college and i thank marcus bookstore for that. marcus was born august 17, 1887. he gave us his identity and he hooked united states up with our motherland african where we found out we all came from. okay. and that history in that store is where children can learn. not only ourselves but yourselves too. it's worth saving. redevelopment was tearing - >> thank you. next speaker. . i live in the western edition. marcus books needs to stay in fillmore. i grew up and was living in chinatown. it looks different from chinatown but right now, i'm living in the west edition are i see that fill more is very much different than when i was the. there's hardly any remedy in advance of a black business

so, so if we own our own businesses in harlem or south central l.a. '60s they were saying we almost owned more businesses than we own today. we have to get back to owning businesses in our own community and put people to work. >> anybody else? >> i believe that -- i believe that we have to own communication. communication is very important. we have to be able to have more stations owned by people of color. and i believe that we have to allow this to be very, very important in the scheme of just life and information. you -- you can't know the story if you don't hear the story. and i commemorate msnbc for what they've done tonight. it's a great thing. [ applause ] but we have to do that. i know that. i own a radio station. >> yeah, you do. >> we talk about your films. i've seen a few of them, too. but we keep it real. we keep it honest. you know, one is not enough. just a couple or a few is not enough. and i think if i may say one other thing, we really have to confront the educational system. [ applause ] everyone everyone every single american must fe

out and now during the antiparth i do era the a mc people i'd escort around they wanted to see the harlem of the west and i took them by marcus bookstore. and i'm sorry for the people who own the place by it's a historical landmark place i understand you bought it but there's a 90 something old professor who lives there and if you replace those people god is watching you. god bless you >> thank you paul please. good afternoon, commissioners i'm paul. i can't say i will add much but there's one thing that's not been said it's the importance the landmarks educating people like me to what we've done right and wrong and the store of that building and marcus books and it's history is incredibly important and needs to be howard >> i do so moot speaker card in the box then we'll move on to general public comment. >> got one more. >> oh. >> curtis. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am a direct heir of the rejuly effects of what marcus books and bob city is about. let me say this i'm the music director there. it's because of marcus books that and because of people like dr. goodrich and julian an

i sell tube socks and irregular underwear, uptown, spanish harlem.hen what were you doing in brooklyn? i thought skater was back. but skater always warned me not to let the girl see me. what girl is this? the albanian girl. now i don't use that word again. this girl-- does she have a name? she wouldn't say her name to me. can you describe her? cold. like this room. her picture-- he taped it on the wall of his truck. he kept it covered... so she was all his. how much time do you think before i'm back in this room? [door opens] [door closes] i heard you ran into some bad dude albanians. this is a good dude albanian, detective zim flamur from organized crime control. zim says that our shell casings read albanian mob. occ? you put away that albanian gang that was making a bid to become the sixth mob family. yeah, nice work on that. see, cops know. tv, the press-- it's all still italian mobsters. they're stuck in the '70s. and we're stuck in the '80s. the truck they shot up belonged to a former tv star, "skater" stevens. the "ackackack" guy? my kids loved

say which ones they are and it competes for my favorite painting in the exhibition it is view of harlem with bleaching grounds in the foregrounds and one of the most important innovations for the 17th century, dutch landscape painters was the way that they approached the sky. for any of you who have traveled to the netherlands you know that there is a low horizon line and i have been told that the dutch people and i can be corrected. that they call their clouds the dutch mountains because the landscape is so low that really you get these massive clouds in the sky and that is the kind of important topography to talk about. this is another example by the same artist and it is a winter scene, and as i move through these images of different paintings from various national schools. i don't want to talk too much over them but to let you feel how the atmosphere and the mood is changed by the different kinds of clouds that the artists have chosen to depict. and i wanted to also var clearly indicate it was interesting when putting together this powerpoint, i don't typically like to put any words

. >> in harlem 43% of the eighth graders get passing grays in math tests. 100% of her kids pass. so if such charters work, why aren't there more of them. because unions and supporters of traditional schools hate charters. this protest occurred outside one of eva moskowicz's charters. >> i hope it's not personal but it may be. >> this union boss doesn't want charters in what he calls his schools. >> over my dead body they're going to come there. >> does he get to stop them? when we return i'll confront the unions about that and other strange things union bosses said like we should. judge teachers by how well students do on tests. but how do you know if they're learning anything? >> i know my kids are learned when i look in their eyes. >> what? more "stupid in america" when we return. equipped with droid zap for advanced photo sharing that lets you swipe images to multiple people. the new droid ultra by motorola. when intelligence matters. droid does. her busy saturday begins with back pain, when... hey pam, you should take advil. why? you can take four advil for all day relief. so

. >> it went with viral and came to the attention of the harlem globe trotters. about his letter they decided to go to his school. the girl's favorite band made a surprise appearance. her mom said things are starting to improve. >> she's still shy and still unsure of herself because she has other issues going on. i noticed that there's a change. she actually wants to come to school now. >> the globe trotters gave them auto graphed basketballs and ryan special received recognition. >>> now is the chance to come face-to-face with mummies. >> they're on display at the maryland science center. they come from all over the world. they date back some 65,000 years. you can learn who they are and where they came from, also how mummies are created. the media will get a preview this morning. the exhibit officially opens to you tomorrow. >>> well, a lot of change coming to mcdonalds. . >> from the coffee cups to ther- salads, there's a lot going on oh. . we have that coming up. >>> all these people talking, that's bull crap. you're talking about kids. >> a father angry his 1

ban ki-moon, then the palestinian president, and then meet with former president bill clinton in harlemo discuss health care reform. >>> there is a huge political battle that is brewing in washington. libby casey joins us live. libby what did they do today? >> we're hearing speeches from the senate. and we're hearing two very different terms coming from republicans and democrats, and talking past each other. here is what democrats are trying to do. they are warning that a shutdown of the government could have very dire financial circumstances. senator harry reid, the top democratic, head of the senate, he said this could cost $30 billion a week if the government shut down starting next week. we also heard senator durbin, say this is essentially playing high stake's poker with other people's money. republicans are talking all about obamacare because the house has linked funding the government with defunding the federal health care law, known as obamacare. one senator of texas gives us a sense of what arguments republicans are trying to make. let's take a listen to him today. >> not a day

started to read, if you when he talksow, about the poverty in harlem, it is the same team going on. on. he seems like a genius but also a fortune teller. people are still infatuated with the same themes. girls are still having babies like they were having. i think baldwin was able to see the broad view of what was happening in the culture. i have always been one of those people who was trying to ask tom a why is this happening. -- trying to ask why is this happening. tavis: tell me about grace. grace is a character. it is semi-autobiographical. there is a palette of people in my life i use. my mother,st like who struggled with addiction from when i was 10 years old until my 20's. one thing i felt like was a turning point in the novel when i realized it was not just the thatory -- son's story, it was the son and the mother's story. glad you went there, because i wanted to ask, how is your mother handling the publishing of this? it is one thing for her son to write a book that is getting critical acclaim, but they character is in large measure based on her, and that is a difficult win

obama came in he helped to get fund to schools that were struggling the most and based on a model the harlem children zone in new york city was the area we wanted to create an effort we called choice neighborhoods that wanted to take the hope 6 example and take it to the next level. and those two efforts the promised neighborhood and choice neighborhoods are ben this community. over 5 years there was a huge investment to the schools in this neighborhood. i talked to kids this morning and they love their teachers and love to learn and be in sullivan school but when their parents can't get them for a couple of hours after school it's a expensive after school programs that allow them to continue learning after the school day end. they're dealing with the violence around them they can get counseling in school. all of the pieces have come together to make sure that no child's future is determined just by their zip code. and finally the last pie we at hud awarded $30 million to help create the next generation. as the mayor said we can't build poverty housing or housing that concentrates the lotter

so, so if we own our own businesses in harlem or south-central l.a.i think that's really what's important. so it's, i think in the '60s they were saying we almost owned more businesses than we own today. we have to get back to owning businesses in our own community and put people to work. >> anybody else? >> i believe that -- i believe that we have to own communication. communication is very important. we have to be able to have more stations owned by people of color. and i believe that we have to allow this to be very, very important in the scheme of just life and information. you -- you can't know the story if you don't hear the story. and i commemorate msnbc for what they've done tonight. it's a great thing. [ applause ] but we have to do that. i know that. i own a radio station. >> yeah, you do. >> we talk about your films. i've seen a few of them, too. but we keep it real. we keep it honest. you know, one is not enough. just a couple or a few is not enough. and i think, if i may say one other thing, we really have to confront the educational syst

who can make it so the beautiful child in harlem and the bronx and brooklyn has the same experience,hild on the upper east side? because if we can fix it here, we can fix it anywhere, and as sin at rah let us know, it's up to you, new york, new york. all right. that does it for us here at the cycle. martin bashir, it is all yours. >> thank you so much, crystal. good afternoon. tuesday, september 10th. and at this rapid pace, the president's speech to the nation is likely getting a rewrite. ♪ >> i have a chance to talk to the american people directly. >> everything is on the blink of explosion. >> he has not made the sale. that's why i think tonight is so important. >> the people aren't with you. >> yeah, well, not yet. if you ask michelle, do we want to be involved in another war, the answer is no. >> are you confident you're going to get the votes? >> i'm confident members of congress are taking this issue very seriously. >> unlimited kind of effort. >> what does that mean? >> the u.s. does not do pinpr k pinpric pinpricks. >> try to help the president provide a unified front. >> yo
