kevin: i started with the guys, and found out the idea holds. e players in maryland said they loved them. where could i get more? then i needed to know how to manufacture it so i read about this place called the garment district in new york city. i got in my 1992 ford explorer and drove up to 34th and 5th avenue, parked my car and found a place to buy fabric. i found a place that could manufacture and made my first run of 500 shirts and gave free t-shirts to everyone i knew and i ever played with. david: and your car was still there when you came back, right? [laughter] kevin: no, it was actually towed the first time. [laughter] david: okay, you have the garment. it's being manufactured and now your job is to go on the road and basically sell it to athletes, more or less, or teams. so was that hard? kevin: i put 48,000 to 51,000 miles on my car in 1997 and 1998, respectively, and i started working my way up to airplane tickets to get around, but yeah, i did do these great tours. that's a lot of miles. david: now, you are the youngest of five brot

i started working my way up to airplane tickets, but i did do these great tours.avid: you are the youngest of five brothers. did your older brothers say you are crazy and go get a job? kevin: a little bit of that. not really that nice. i had a tremendous amount of support. my family was great but everyone had their own thing. under armour was not obvious. people would call and trip over the name. what is that thing you are doing? armor all? david: where did you get your initial money? kevin: investors. i had $17,000 in startup cash and then it was friends and family. there were moments of selling a percent of the company for $5,000. whatever we could do to get the company started. david: what other products did you build? kevin: we let the consumer lead us. our first product was a tightfitting t-shirt for the summer and all of a sudden could you make something for warm weather? could you make shorts? and then you have this essence that becomes the brand that have to translate through every product that we build. it is that continuity that makes it what it is. davi

i think those are where you start. ven him the kind of attention and memory that they should? monica: i think the movie was a great way to start. i love the documentary. i think "if beale street could " is visually a beautiful film. i hope it brings more attention. one of the things i have been pleasantly surprised with since i wrote that piece, was my own personal level, i did not think much of it. it was the number of people who mee contacted me to tell about reading baldwin themselves and what it meant to them. i'm hoping it sparks some resurgence. i hope more of his work becomes more widely known. brian: if someone wants to read you the same way they would online. what is the best way to find you at the post. ? piece backon wrote a in december about james baldwin. we appreciate very much you talking with us today. thank you. monica: thank you. >> for free transcripts or to give us your comments about this q&a.org.visit us at q&a programs are also available as c-span podcasts.

to do that i have this huge way to work with the community members and i think i found my calling i startedin 1996 working for willie brown, jr. i worked in he's mayor's office of housing in the western edition and left 3 years went to law school of san francisco state university and mayor brown asked me to be the director of the taxicab commission and through the process i very much card by the contracting process and asked me townhouse the city purchaser and worked with me and i became the deputy administrator and . >> having trouble struggling to make ends meet folks will not understand what importance of voting is so we decided to develop our workforce development services after a couple of years offering pathways to sustainable jobs. >> (clapping.) >> we've gotten to a place to have the folks come back and have the discussion even if participation and makes sense we do public services but we also really build strong communities when i started this job my sons were 2 and 5 now 9 and 6 i think so the need to be able to take a call from the principal of school i think that brings a whole

it is where i started, and what led me to my current path. this is why i decided to launch what is my signature initiative, opportunity for all. i am committed to making sure that every high school student in san francisco has access to a paid internship opportunity, in any interest -- any -- in any industry. [applause] >> whether it is the construction industry, healthcare industry, the city and county of san francisco, the tech industry, all of your companies will play a role in helping by providing a job for a young person, and if you are not prepared to deal with the challenges of teenaged kids, you can also help invest in our program by making a contribution so that we can place young people and in places all over our city. mentor and youth, if there are some great ways, i'm really excited about this program because it will change our future, and make things better for the next generation. by opening up the doors of opportunity to them. we can change what we see, and what we feel in our streets with your help. mentor a high school student

>> so i left after i noticed that i was on a blacklist because i start my residency in 2012. ike, when i was third-year resident, so in 2014, i started doing some complaints about how the situation was going in the hospital -- >> what were you complaining about? >> i was complaining about the lack of supplies. when i first started in 2012, we were able to do elective surgeries like hernias, mastectomies. and then in 2014 i noticed we started asking the patients for the supplies for us to be able to get the patient into the operating -- >> sorry, the patients had to bring in their own supplies -- >> yes. >> to be operated -- how would they get supplies that they would need? >> they will get it from outside of the hospital, like at stores. and it was hard for us because if we are the hospital that is paid for the government and we supposed to guarantee the supplies and everything for them to be able to go from the disease to, like, being in good health. and we were not able to do it. >> why couldn't the hospital get hold of supplies itself? >> i think what was happening was the

i wanted to start something different. that ifrom the beginning wanted to analyze the civil and criminal cases quantitatively as well as qualitatively. i soon learned after trying to do this with marks on yellow going to havewas to learn some statistical packages for the social sciences to be able to do that. so i stopped my research for about ask months to develop a codebook and teach myself with the help of some social scientist friends to write programs to derive the results i wanted. recruited a group of undergrads to coat cases and graduate students to supervise the undergrads. here is a story that comes from teaching at the same university for a long time -- two years ago, the daughter of one of coded was ints who one of my classes. her father, who i met when she graduated from cornell at the end of the year, came up to me and said that he had put the fact that he was one of my coders on his cv for a long time. he is a lawyer now in new jersey. i did not think i would recognize him, but i did. i ether, the students an

i started taking classics life photography. nsitioned from it using a 35mm film camera to using a large format film camera. it is especially well-suited to architectural photography. i started reading about the missions to make better informed pictures. the other questions that came to mind is, what happened to the buildings after they seized to be used as missions? that is where my work, i think, and some of my scholarly work, takes off in trying to answer the question, what happened after they ceased to be missions to the native americans? steve: what surprised you the most? joel kitchens: what surprised me the most is something i started reading. a lot of were saying the missions were forgotten about after they were secularized. they fell into ruins and nobody cared about them. i do not think that is quite true. the people in san antonio, they recognize the value of the missions. whenever important people came to san antonio, they would take them to the missions. people like frederick homestead, he came to san antonio before

i started working my way up to airplane tickets, but i did do these great tours. that's a lot of miles. david: now, you are the youngest of five brothers. did your older brothers say you're crazy and go get a job? what did they say about this? kevin: a little bit of that. not really that nice. [laughter] kevin: no, i had a tremendous amount of support. my family was great, but everyone had their own thing. and under armour wasn't obvious. people would call and trip over the name. what's that thing you're doing? armor all? under arm? david: where did you get your initial money? kevin: investors. this was before private equity. yeah, i had $17,000 in startup cash and then it was friends and family. there were moments of selling a percent of the company or 5% of the company for $5000. whatever we could do to get the company started. david: so you are grind -- growing the company. what other products did you build? kevin: we let the consumer lead us. our first product began as a tightfitting t-shirt for the summer, and all of a sudden it was, can you make something fo

i started buying local lobsters and local swordfish and other local fish, and i started roying out of baja california. i started buyingers and snappers and scallops out of baja california and diversified the business. [saw whirring] we buy directly from the boats. we know who we're buying from, and then we take care of the quality and get it to our different customer levels, whether it's a wholesar in san francisco or whether it's a restaurant here in san diego or door. we'll bring the fish back here, and we'll grade th one by one, so each fish, we'll do a tail cut, a core sample. we'll grade the fish. uh, number one? this one's a little different. the tail is a little bit off color, but the core is nice, so i graded it a 2g with a two plus 4. we have a limi can take to keep the population sustainable, and yet we have a growing population in the world, so we need this seafood. there areore imports now. half th world's seafood supply is being farmed. it's not happening in the u.s. it's happening ino er country under probably less strenuous environmentalonditions, and meanwhile, we don'

so i started yelling, "i -- i can't see the road." is yelling back at me, "you're just gonna have to remember where it is." and at that second, a bobcat jumped out of the brush right to my headlight." >> i sat there and there was no sleep coming. you know, i was kind of relaxing but i was also kinda itching to do something. i mean, i was like, "okay, now what? now what are we gonna do?" so as i was sitting there trying to sleep, we got a message that our house was still there and we couldn't believe it was still there. >> it wasn't time for a victory dance yet because we -- we couldn't believe that anything could've survived. >> i wasn't 100% sure that the fire had gone through and it wasn't gonna come back or what it was gonna do, but i had to check. mainly it wasn't really the house, it was the animals, it was the horses. you know, go find them and see, you know, if they're okay. and, you know, lend support to the horses, you know, and -- and help them. so that was really the reason to go back. >> so i said to thomas, "why don't you

monica: in 1987, i had just started working. was a young reporter for the evening sun in baltimore. he was speaking -- i think it was baltimore city community college or something of that nature. i was so excited by this. it was during winter and i was planning to leave work and head across town. i was still living at home. my family lived in eastern baltimore county. this was in west baltimore, where he was speaking. i vaguely remember a close childhood friend saying it is snowing. you should try to get home. i said i am fine, i have something to do. i packed up my little paperbacks of my james baldwin book and i had them in the car beside me. the car was a 1978 fiat spider. i had purchased it from one of my older sisters. it was probably a decade old when i purchased it from her. it had rearwheel drive. if you know anything about that, they do not function well in the snow. i was determined and i got in and i was trudging along. i should say i was inching along because the snow was coming down. i got to a point where i was prob

i started working my way up to airplane tickets, but i did do these great tours.hat's a lot of miles. david: now, you are the youngest of five brothers. did your older brothers say you're crazy and go get a job? what did they say about this? kevin: a little bit of that. not really that nice.

one of the reasons i started looking at it i had not planned to cover the drug war but i started people everyone from the mexican attorney general's office to local media and foreign media had basically pronounced chop zero. dead you know sort of he's finished i think the quote from the attorney general was he's a washed up football star and i started looking into his past and how he had cultivated this this mythology this robin-hood benefactor of the poor in of a part of the country where the government does very little in the military is often frowned upon you know he did cultivate this image not unlike other drug lords but what also helped was going to really his success. as a drug lord this was you know people were not naive there was money coming in as soon as the violence started accompanying his trade i would say that's around two thousand and nine and that was when one of a lot of his cohorts started being caught the myths started crumbling and right u.s. and mexican law enforcement have not got enough credit for basically puncturing that myth and i want to i want to talk a litt

so i started doing that. yeah, i like the beats but who's this singing?ging? >> no, i was a producer at first. i just found my way into songwriting. >> reporter: a few years later, nija was a student at new york university making beats and recording lyrics in her dorm room. >> i was recording snippets on instagram. eventually like a and r and other producers started seeing it. i just built my network that way. >> reporter: soon enough nija was heading of flying acro jug studio sessions and studying. >> honestly, i was just like, wow, this is the start of my career. >> once you get that call, i understand that you're flying out every couple of weeks from l.a. -- from new york to l.a.? >> every weekend. it was very hard. there were some classes i definitely had to skip. it was time management. knowing that i had to hurry up, finish my homework before i got on the plane. >> reporter: nija has since dropped out. now living in l.a., she's working on music full-time. what was the hardest part about getting used to life out here? you're a northeasterner. you're

then i started designing, too. i have an image in my head, i start drawing. n makes me change. yeah, that's it. good. yeah, beautiful. done. >> anthony: when do you make the drawings for the ceramic that you want? >> masa: when you're drinking. >> anthony: when you're drinking? >> masa: yeah, right. so many times, huh? >> izakura: yeah, yeah. >> anthony: eating and drinking. and drawing. >> masa: yeah, always. he teaches me a lot of stuff. >> anthony: so, when you're in new york, and the ceramics come, do you ever go, "what the --" >> masa: what happened. >> anthony: i don't remember. >> masa: i get pissed. >> anthony: your design, man. >> masa: exactly. >> anthony: 90 minutes southeast of kanazawa is a mountainous region known as yamanaka onsen, and it looks unlike any place i've ever been in japan. masa's good friend and art advisor haruo konishi has a family hideaway here. a beautiful 120-year-old traditional kominka style home built around an irori -- a sunken hearth in the middle of the living room. it's wild getting up here, the snow, the rocks in the ro

when i started, i never thought -- i don't know if people begin with this vision at 22 or 23 years oldbut my belief was i was going to build a t-shirt for football players to wear under their pads. it was a distance of how far we could see. we make the best shirt for football players, what if we made longsleeve shirts? something for cold weather? time. one product at a to satisfy a need. david: you grew up in kensington, maryland. a suburb of washington. you decided you were not going to be an academic star, but you might be an athletic star. kevin: i believe that could do both. [laughter] david: you were a good football player. kevin: i was a good high school player. david: what position? kevin: fullback and linebacker. david: you were ready to get a division i football scholarship, but division i was not ready to give you one. kevin: correct. david: you went to the university of maryland, but you walked on the team. kevin: i disagreed with that assessment. i went on the team. david: you played all four years? kevin: i did. david: is that uncommon? kevin: it is probably unusual. i thi

i started a clinic at yale talking about these issues. as a guy who had family denied housing, this is an issue i take seriously. we have gotten to a point in america where you see middle-class families spending 30% to 50% of their income providing housing for their families. we have found lots of people doing great jobs who cannot afford to live in the communities where they are working. what a shameful thing it is for us to have teachers who teach in communities who are not paid enough money to live in those communities. i think a lot about housing. i don't want to get technical, because there are a lot of streams of resources for the localities, from low income housing tax credits and more. i want to make an argument for overall federal funding for affordable housing. that's something that can be controversial, but i think the federal government can do a lot. the one area of housing i want to talk about -- because when we talk about housing, we often leave people out of the equation. we were able to double the production of affordable a

criticised the government so i started seeing that a lot and i. side feeling that there is a threat to freedom of its expression and being an artist i was like i should speak about all these things i should speak about. oppression of the minorities operation of the marginalized and you know like the whole. going on. to see. the pics and said to me. the group is comfortable holding forth among. the old to perform at various protest events to a completely different crowd if. you try to be a part of a lot of. he wants happening in this is ideal. or to listen to the speeches you know like a lot of information about. the local. classes for the local kids. when you're getting really good response from people outside india you. really like it this is a really good thing that's happening. a collaboration and everyone outside india is recognizing the whole hip hop scene in india. and i hope you enjoy. i for one have already moved to using the travel coffee bag we bring you many more such practical changes you could make to your life all. good bye and have

was bored and then when some of the women started composting i got a. fifty two year old but one of them started using brown leave off the she read about it in the local newspaper and i got through the scientists but one of them how they stayed away from using source which often needs to be transported from its place of origin and used compost minister. but only. if you do. the brain see. the others work as completely one injury she receives no outside funding dried leaves are meant to forgo the ground combined with the waste and breakdown. they then as for the lies of the new plans to meet. benefits from the work she does. best if we should do what we should the. city generates twenty one hundred down so everything in such a situation we need to collect his dry leaves and recycle it. is. what it does mean that's what i think he has found the solution to to collect this and transport it for seventy kilometers to the landfill is a big dose we were unable to make more than one trip because of the traffic these days. but he might have like at the idea of ot

and of course, when i started doing the column, they wanted... int of view politically, but i don't — you hardly ever mention family. part of it is because i think you should be able to make your case without that emotional tug. but second of all, because the nature of what i had done in the herald, and even who i was writing about — you have to remember what miami in the ‘70s and ‘80s was, and the drug violence. and i was writing about the cocaine wars, i was writing about individuals involved, and escobar and others, and i was frequently writing about corrupt politicians. i was making enemies. you sure were — dangerous enemies. and when the column started, i made more, because the only way to do it is honestly, and so if somebody got caught doing something, i would write about them. and you know, most of the time, by the time i wrote about them, they had much bigger problems than some newspaper columnist writing about them. they had much bigger legal problems. but at the same time, in the back of your mind, i'm thinking, all it takes is one pers

before then is this what i was up i started to post so this has come out if so i think i was having.a good weekend i want to move past. it is. not somebody else did. this thing to get. in on. those plans in no. place not sunday. but still not guidicelli. benghazi very. long days on plenty see enough guns get enough decision and live without. fusion so. going to school for. us to hearts are. just too soon to try to move. him but good luck to him sit. but still lives this callously of. the spirit. played. her. little glimmer limitless . pearl. pearl . listen. listen. listen. to play live take. a little. bit earlier limitless. he live. thank. you then i don't know that's one of the legs and one of the here i was did you know i just thought it was pretty. well at least. partially going to be recycled children so i mean as of. the times of. my not only study but instead of falling for it michael would. the same class parents view you. like it's better if you're on the bench as a class pensioners when they are formed by a thousand see him as a year when he was with leg of the national leg

i'm mildly obsessed with numbers. the stats regarding my so, i started with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. like how humira has been prescribed to over 300,000 patients. and how many patients saw clear or almost clear skin in just 4 months - the kind of clearance that can last. humira targets and blocks a specific source of inflammation that contributes to symptoms. numbers are great. and seeing clearer skin

i knew we were going to talk about the past. but once she did start talking about the past, and it's a two way street. i think she was really vulnerable and really forthright about had some of the violent incidents that happened in the household. but once that happened i think the 9-year-old, the 8-year-old, the 10-year-old version of myself started wanting answers in a way i didn't expect when i first entered that conversation. i think i got brought back to this place i often tried to compartmentallize. and i was brought back to this place where i was a little boy wanting my mom's protection and she wasn't giving it to me. so i think that's what made that conversation really difficult. >> do you feel you got closure? >> i don't think i'm ever going to have closure in a sense that, you know, i can leave this part of my life behind me. i think just because i experienced so much trauma for careers and years as a child, i think, you know, it's just a part of me and i have to learn how every day to, you know, be a better person and to make decisions that,

at the time i started it, that's where the name 56 came from but i was like, let's start spotlightingunity. i went to my studio one day and decided to start it and that was last year. i sent a couple of messages to people and the idea was people would recommend one person and the narrative behind that was to show we are connected as well. i could have easily chosen my mates. a lot of these men sitting here today, i didn't know them before today in the first honour met them was when they came through to them was when they came through to the studio and the hoodies concept was as much a part of the artistic direction as it is almost to put a pun on the juxtaposition of what we usually see in the media when we see a negative image of a black man, this idea of he hasjust done this and it's a lot of black boys that grow up seeing that image and they don't see a positive idea of what that means. understood. to introduce yourself. i've hopefully remembered everybody‘s names but i'm bound to make a mistake. william, why did you agree to be photographed in a hoodie? my name is william and i am
