in the article titled faith in the inner city, the urban black church and student educational outcome, doctor brian baird, an education professor at the state university of new york described the unique contributions black churches play in cultivating successful students in inner cities. he observes that quote, religious socialization reinforced attitudes outlooks, behaviors and practices, particularly through individuals commitments to an adoption of the goals and expectations of the group, end quote. now, these are the things that are conducive to positive educational outcome. in fact, back in 2009, baird reported in another article that for black inner-city youth who reported religious services often, the black-white achievement gap quote, was eliminated. i'll say that again. the black-white achievement gap was eliminated simply because students in low performing schools, in bad neighborhoods come were actively involved in religious life and in religious community. berti reports that one of the most important advantages of inner-city churches is that they provide a committee for bl

i want to reawaken in our inner-city kids, for inner-city schools, the love of science and its history. how to do that? let's go to history class. imagine we have every child in that class to their family tree. they would go home and interview their mother, their father, come back to school it would have an electronic family tree on a computer that would be the first one. and then makes a good interview their grandparents read some of the stories. it is important to write down every story, even the ones that might not be true. last back how many of you out -- i'm just speaking to african-americans. how many of you out at ancestors of tai chi bones and straight black hair?

this is the inner city of amsterdam, and the rest of the city are the suburbs. the whole city, there are 2.2 million people, but the real city of amsterdam, there are less than 800,000, which i think is about the same as san francisco. i will also pass around a few sheets. the important thing is that amsterdam is one of the five major economic central's -- economic centers in europe, and we want to stay that way, and we are an attractive city for international business, like the american and asian companies that like to have business in amsterdam. it is a real nice place to stay. experts like to live in amsterdam, and is accessible from all parts of the world. it is also very important case of cycling. what irony said, 2.2 million and happens, but the last line may be the most important, about 120 kilometers per day traffic jams. that is qu7?) a lot. this distance is not more than 25k. we have a real problem. that is not good for business. for us, it is active transport, really important as a solution for being accessible. ok, does it work? yes. this is the city

inner city much higher than anything else. of course the discussion about jobs is going to be centered there. >> here is the difference. when we talk about poor unemployed mechanics in west virginia. talking about the quote unquote bubbas unemployed. we assume that the government has failed them. we assume the economy is broken. we don't question the work ethic. the fact is poor people work harder than anybody else. the problem is that poor people don't work hard or inner city people don't work hard. the problem is they don't have living wages or access to quality jobs. >> bill: i see it differently. we don't have time to debate this. i will bring it back. the problem among some poor people are bad role models and no supervision for the children in a poor educational system where they aren't taught the value of education and they aren't taught the value of hard work. it's a chaotic existence in many of these precincts and you know it. >> bill, if you look at the uber wealthy, not exactly a hard work ethic. if you look all arou

is no question that the tour that you did to highlight what some of the situations are in our inner cities communities is an important piece of that conversation. but most americans, what they want to be it is on the road to middle-class. they want to have their children be in better shape than they were. they want to have opportunities, have a good job, a good education, and health care that they can rely on. they want to know that they will not go bankrupt if somebody gets sick or gets a disease. they want to know that they will get excellent care. the strategies around how you put people on a pathway to the middle-class, support the middle class, make sure that we're paying attention to how people can support their families and take care of their kids is exactly what most people -- the poorest in america and others want us to do. they do not want to be separated out and there are certain strategies engaging poor people. they want to be able to take care of themselves. that is what i hear from folks each and every day. and just want to take care of my kids. i want an opportunity to have
