this is reminiscent of jim crow. this is jim crow two point oh.ial system that is not accountable to our people. so we believe we have to fight this at all costs. >> you know general honorÉ, this reminds me of flint when the republican governor of michigan decided that flint which is also majority black city, 66.7% black was incapable of running its own water system and that they could do it cheaper if he just took control, and they ended up poisoning them for 18 months, but putting flip one river water that had car sunk in it and the poison of. you also now have in jackson the water system that the all white leadership there in the legislature says also must be controlled by them. this is a trend, it does seem to be a trend. sir? >> absolutely. this is what -- looks like. operating inside of the daylight as a democracy, taking control in the sovereignty of the city of jackson which should be under control of the senior elected official, that's the way i was taught. that's the mayor in the city council and the people who put them in office. when i

to put barriers in the way when it comes to black american history and the legacy of slavery and jim crow. you cannot have it both ways. if we're going to heal as a country, we need to talk about the trauma that we suffered as a country to through slavery jim crow and it's lasting legacy on communities today. education in teaching that history is critically important to that healing. it's critically important to a thriving healthy democracy. governor youngkin seems to be more interested with ron desantis on who can reach the trump base by really -- accurate teaching of african american history. >> i'm advertise. i have to follow that up by asking you this. there is been those have said that youngkin may be looking at running for president. clearly everyone feels that the florida governor desantis says -- do you think youngkin is easing toward playing the culture war card to try to set himself up nationally as a more popular figure in the national gop circles? >> he ran for governor of virginia using that bar throughout the governorship so far. >> all right, representative-elect jennifer m

we have to understand the legacy of slavery, of jim crow, of mass incarceration. we need to understand, as i stand here on the floor of the house of representatives, in the united states capitol, a beacon of democracy and freedom, that this is a building that was built by enslaved people. it's important for us to understand that because we need to recognize that and get better and teach that to future generations of americans. we also need to recognize that accomplishments of individuals, the moral character of our former colleague, john lewis, who really was the moral backbone of this institution. the first president that i served under, barack obama, the accomplishments not just as president but what a great human being, father, and husband. my close friend, the first female vice president, the first african-american vice president, the first asian vice president, vice president kamala harris, she's a role model for my daughter and future women across the spectrum in the united states. and our good friend, the minority leader of the democratic party, hakeem jeff
