in order to create some administrative offices, when presumably, if you looked at, for instance, horace mann, you could move in bungalows and administrators could live in bungalows the same with the kids are. i also ask you to look at page 66, item k6, the employee assistance program. if you look not at the expenditure, not at the good intention of it, but how it was chosen, and not a single one of the people who are intended to participate in the program were involved in getting the programs available -- vetting the programs available or making the selection of this program. that is not the best way to operate something like this. you want the people involved in it to participate in this election. thank you very much. president mendoza: thank you. item g is the consent calendar. commissioner wynns: i motion to pass the consent calendar. >> we have one correction to an item on page 95, item 114.26k20. the list was not attached, so i am going to read the list. the schools are longfellow and mission. the number of students at each site that will be served are 70. president mendoza: ok. >>

howard moore, just like a tivo than before him, horace ward and other ambitious african-americans had to go out of state to law school. that was because at the time he was excluded from the university of georgia because of his release. he went up north to boston, university. when he graduated he came back to georgia. he really wanted to be a member of the georgia bar into the dose in his home state and city. he joined the bar in 1962. and when he did, he was only 10 full-time black lawyer practicing. not in atlanta, but in the entire state of georgia, which might strike you as pretty incredible. those numbers, by the way, didn't improve very much until the 1970s. anyways, what's he joined the bar, he went to work for donald hollowell who was on the right. another legendary lawyer who is very important. hollowell was more a centaur, although when they first met each other, it was an odd encounter that he told more that he was a lawyer and moore said, that's bull. he actually said something a little more colorful, but fortunately he set it to himself he got himself a mentor. the point i

in 1961, 11 years after walden initially started that fight but here you see horace ward, he was theinitial plaintiff in the uva case and donald hollowell on the right, who litigated that case after walden was replaced as lead counsel. moreover, walden, another pragmatist, opposed the direct action taxes -- tactics of the ways of dissenters in my book. now, the second wave consisted of street demonstrators and movement lawyers and here, a typical scene involving these demonstrators. they are squared off here in 1964 against the klan. these activists sought to achieve social and economic empowerment for black communities by desegregating public accommodations, by walking picket lines with the unions, by engaging and rent strikes and generally trying to reach the african-american community where it was. there are two lawyers, len holt and howard jr. who became allies of the student movement during the 1960s and my book spends many many chapters detailing the synergies between these lawyers in the student movement over the course of the 1960s. what i first want to do though is give you

so all the kids from the avenues, horace mann, bethune, all those different junior highs that come into that high school, and, you know, it's rougher turf. and you're going to either be with them or be without them. so it was funny in the book i actually say that the three guys from my neighborhood went to that school. we had to convince them that we had a gang. you know? we had them convinced that we had our own gang. up in the hills just to keep people off of us. tavis: you write in the book that even though you got pulled into it you never got caught up in the drirninging and the drug -- in the drinking and the drugging. >> when younger i never drank. even today, i sip occasionally, socially. but as a kid, no, i never drank. i never did any weed or drugs or anything. because i felt it was compromise my position, you know. i was an orphan and i had a feeling like if i ever hit the ground, i may never get back up. so yeah, i was very straight edged. but it was a survival instinct that i had. tavis: you say you thought if you hit the ground you might not get back up. it reminds me of th

that term was coined by horace greeley, the editor of the new york tribune. .. president with zachary taylor in in 1940. zachary taylor died after about a year in office and millard fillmore becomes president. he is like a celebrity. that ask him to head the ticket. the interesting thing is millard fillmore is not anti-immigrant or anti capitalist. while they are holding the convention in philadelphia, the so-called city of brotherly love, millard fillmore is in the vatican meeting the pope. nobody knew that. it was not a problem. he comes back. the campaign runs. they do very well. they get 22% of the vote. one of the highest percentages in american history. what they wanted was their platform was to extend the citizenship for 25 years. at that point it was five years and if you intend to become a citizen you could vote. they want to extend this period to 25 years and take a franchise away from these immigrants. they don't become the major second party because in 1854-1855 the republican party is formed. they run for the first time in eighteen 66. john fremont

msnbc political analyst karen finney is a former democratic national committee spokesperson, horace epsteinood to see both of you today. boris, let me begin with you. how is bin laden's death going to influence the way republicans now take a stand on military action in afghanistan? >> i think there is going to be an impact but not as large as some think. in my perspective, this is just one man's death. we should not get out of afghanistan as fast as we did at the end of the soviet impact there in the 1980s, easterly '90s. afghanistan has been a breeding ground for terrorists for a long time. it's been a lawless country for a long time. and we need to get out but do it very carefully. >> but when president bush set the mission for afghanistan, it was very specific and clear. we were going in to kill the terrorists and those who harbored them. we were going to annihilate that whole system. osama bin laden is dead. at this point what we're seeing in afghanistan is often an intertribal insurgency. do we still have a specific, clear mission there? >> the specific, clear mission needs to be to ma
