you guys no a bit of jackie robinson story. you know he came up with the brooklyn dodgers. they automatically became african-americans favorite team in america. it didn't matter where they lived, what league they rooted for, they automatically rooted for the brooklyn dodgers. same thing happened here. with integration maybe these folks wouldn't be doing so well. bitterness and hay treatred bec dangerously close. the largest and best known being elijah muhammad's muslim movement which included malcolm x. >> what about the other side to this? the idea that many of the wealthier black citizens consider the members of the movement to be just making trouble. do you remember that? >> good question. what do you all think about that? >> what did they mean? their own people t same rights they would need but these wealthier people with the same -- you would think the same problems, but they are calling the members of the movem

branch ricky had integrated baseball by bringing jackie robinson in. i'm staying in junction city and jackie robinson with his military service at fort riley. i thought that was poignant, and i apologize for the aside, but it was a reminder to me of yet another chapter in our history, but if you look back at what branch ricky did, he didn't exactly create a fan base of everybody in the country. it was very courageous, and you take that perspective and think about what it meant to the country to see president eisenhower bring branch rick toe run a commission to diversify the federal workforce. it just is a very powerful statement. bill coleman was brought in to serve on that commission as well. bill had said in his book that he believes that the real tipping point in american history when it comes to civil rights occurred during the eisenhower presidency, and of course, the primary piece that he points to that period would be the little rock school crisis which we'll have a chance to discuss. president eisenhower very quickly moved during his precedensi

dubois, and how jackie robinson had broken the baseball barrier. and we remembered the opera singer who was not allowed to sing in the hall and had to sing in lincoln center. all the discrimination and the local in justices. like, everything was separate and unequal. the school was inadequate. we could not go to the hospitals. they built a house adjacent to the main hospital. the white people were not supposed to be in the same room with an n-person. you know the n-word? i said to myself at the end of the day that i love my country and i'm glad that that day, i took a stand. i saw through the supreme court that the flaws that america had tried to correct them by removing those horrible signs -- "white" and "colored." i said when i testified at the trial, i went through how we were treated, and the lady dramatize it, so i do not have to go through that, but it is the whole system of separate but unequal. it is understates rights -- is under states' rights. after lincoln had freed us from slavery, they instituted this law, separate but equal, and the

[ applause ] 2011 will go down in the history books as an extraordinary success. and the members of the legislature should be very proud of what they accomplished. unfortunately that wasn't the only story of 2011. 2011 was also a very challenging year for the state in many, many ways. especially outside of albany. we had a terrible situation with tropical storm lee and hurricane irene that caused terrible damage in parts of the state that could really least afford it. the mid hudson, the north county, the southern tier sustained terrible damage. but maybe
