this book really addresses the jim crow era, jim crow era violence and resistance and law, looking at violence and resistance through the lens of law, looking at an era of our country, really the confederate states of the south which were in effect lawless. i described these as an authoritarian regime with a purportedly -- within a purportedly democratic state. it looks at these three things and unearths new stories, new information to paint a picture not just of what lives look like then, so it is history for its own sake. history that helps us understand what it meant to be alive in that moment. obviously as well, it is also history that informs us about the moment that we live in today, so that is the gist of the work. let me just say one other thing. the book really began as i began to meet families who had experienced these events and who were carrying these stories as their own personal history, their own family history. we traveled across the country to meet with folks who experienced these horrific atrocities, and our effort was to provide to them the material that the governm

a jim crow army cannot fight for a free world. and so if we fast forward ahead to 48, once president truman eventually signs the executive order to serve the military, that's after a decade intense pressure from civil rights activists roy wilkins, who understand that segregation makes no sense for military. it's trying to fight and win global war on this scale. if i leave you with one thing, it's just that segregation made no sense for the military then to do everything and duplicate it was redundant. it served no strategic or tactical purpose. but americans understand that and they want to to do everything they can to push against it. the book also highlights stories of the black americans who performed valiantly in combat. no how it just to hear edward carter if i had to vote for one of the most fascinating soldiers to fight in world war two, carter is right up there. he's raised by a missionary family. and so he grows up in china and, india, when he's 15. he joins the chinese national army to fight against japanese in shanghai.

demanded jim crow. this was a point made over and over and over again. the implication was that without segregation and whites would be to consume armed by anti-black resentments and to invest their all in the war effort. anti-black racism. this perspective was a war time imperative, a precondition for victory. this argument, of course, was a -- admission about the depths of the nation's commitment to supremacy. it also painted a picture of the wartime military that contrasted sharply with popular notions of. but truthfully, the military's jim crow had more to do with its leaders. own deep investments in white domination and black subordination, both. they seemed to believe in their bones were natural, essential and virtuous features of. american life. true toward war's end, some of these leaders, a small minority of these leaders actually, broke with some of these racist traditions as there was some there were experiments towards the end, the war integrating, some fighting units, some training camps, some base facilities. but most of these leaders did n

it is a nod to jim crow and the civil rights issue. what is the history of this, and what is at stake here, congressman? >> what's at stake is the fundamental survival of the issues that are decided by the federal courts. namely, our fundamental right to vote. whether or not we can actually keep our communities free from gun violence. the issues that are affecting our schools and education, that are decided by the courts. all of these are things that are being held hostage by senate republicans who are using a jim crow era practice. not a rule, it's not embedded in the constitution. for the senate to give this type of latitude to senate republicans, to not even state the reason for the objection. we have more than 40 pending federal judges who are fair, or who have been recommended by the american bar association, who have been nominated by president biden for confirmation. and senate republicans or holding them off. there is one particular candidate nominee who won republican released the blue slip, and the other republican won't. and

we've looked at the west we've looked at the jim crow south. we've looked at capital and labor and progressive reforms. today we're looking at how the life of one crucially important figure from this period helps the flesh out. and kind of concrete life some of those abstract ideas that we've been looking at so today we're looking at the life and career theodore roosevelt. not the last time that we'll come back to him in this class. but today kind of just specifically geared toward him. his life does fit the themes of the gilded age progressive era very well, and it's also part of my area of research. so taylor is primarily teaching institution, but all of your faculty are doing research on their own is time permits. and for me, i've finished writing a book last year on the religious life of theodore roosevelt. so this is a time for me to get to actually talk about some things. i've done some specialized research on so that's just some of the backgrounds of what we're looking at here. again start with stop with questions along the way as approp

al not so sharpton and we know the president of the unite states likes to talk about jim crow to point, during jim crow one point out, there was a terrible record of agitators creating demands that prosecutors single out particularly black people and charge them rather than allow natural investigative processes to occur. shame on this effort. >> here is what the attorney said watch this. >> who are we to look at someon and say they were house list so they must have been bad person. they must've been about to hurt us so we had the right to take his life. because our life matters more. that's not the situation we wan to live in, that's not the community we want to have. so their clients, his client including punching a woman in the face. >> why defend the family demand i'm talking about neely's family , why didn't they demand a charge for attempted murder? the very serious are biddle structure, the injury, the nature of it, how long she was hospitalized, it's amazing that we have a remarkably great medical capabilities and so she lived. using his logic, this behavior ought to have been h

democratic party that wrote jim crow laws. then the democratic party was the one that filibustered the civil rights act. add to this our current president joe biden he was working to stop the integration of public schools. because he didn't want them to become "racial jungles." those were joe biden's word, words, and he partnered with the former grand pubabyrd, biden also gave that eulogy at the former exalted cyclops of the clan, robert kkkbyrd, his mentor as he called him at the time. democrats jar tempting to use race, they do it every two years, every four years as a divisive semi marxist political student, dividing this country, you know, black versus white, old versus young, rich versus poor, divide anyway they can. certain races as perpetual victim its, others as evil oppress sores. here is senator and presidential candidate, well, tim scott, take a look. >> i do think this is a difference in how we communicate. no question to my life disproves the lives of the radical left. their culture of victim hood is eating away a

some comparing it to jim crow laws. first your response to that. >> i'm so sick of the jim crow analogies. give me a break. let's stop. no more analogies like that for anything. his critique is right but his solution is a non-starter. if you are a military brat or old enough to go and risk your life to defend our freedoms you are old enough to exercise the freedoms in the ballot box, full stop unless we raise the military age to 25. then we won't raise the voting age to 25. there is a "wall street journal" poll the other day that showed that the importance of patriotism has declined dramatically since 1998. today only 34% and young people today 23%. a crisis for our country. the answer is not to raise the voting acknowledge. it is to stop the woke indoctrination in our schools and teaching kids to be patriots and good, upstanding citizens. >> harris: getting them ready for life and understanding history so we have a better future. always good to see you, marc, thank you. >> take care. >> harris: we are living through da

is it hard to write about these who have lived through segregation and jim crow? uh.d if gets me down and i think the that keeps going is that the people who i have about have all also had a ferocious wit a ferocious wit wit. adam clayton powell jr. he was a minister for and before he got to the new york city or to the u.s. congress. he would travel to churches all around the country when he was 30 years old. he in north carolina, he was at a train station. he was a black man. but as you can see in the picture on, the wall, he was very light of skin to the oountry and i he might look white. but he had such pride pride in bravado. somebody at this train. told the conductor. hey, i think i saw a black man man walking into the first class compartment. it's a 1930. he wasn't supposed to be in the first class compartment. the person went and got a train official. adam clayton powell was he was comfortably seated. in the first class compartment. the train official and a police officer dash in to the dash into the first class compartment and say, hey. we think there might. a

there were, there was the jim crow era, there has been discrimination.e up for the discrimination in housing, let's say, that existed in the 1940s and 1950s. but hay go so far as to say this goes to make up for the things the police did -- paul: overpolicing. >> overpolicing in the 1990s. so they are putting in everything, every argument imaginable into this which i think contradicts in a way something that the left tried to argue back in the 1980s which was the united states was becoming a more diverse country, and we had to embrace diversity. we have embraced diversity which is to say this country is now full of asians, southeast asians, hispanics, and it has become an extremely diverse country, and sudden arely they're saying there is similar simply one -- simply one class of americans that we are going to pay cash reparations to and set aside -- in fact, force all these other americans to pay for these reparations. it's an unimaginably politically divisive idea. paul: kim, that's one of the issues, i mean, who qualifies and how do you make distinctio

there was a push back to the rights that were granted on the amendments we had the was be called a jim crow era with lots of states pass laws that made it impossible for minority voters that voters to be able to vote. they had literacy tests. they had poll tax is so while on the books it said you had the right to vote. in reality, you didn't you know, you hear that america is one of the oldest democracies in the world. but in reality, most people have not had a chance to participate in our democracy. and even now we're facing a lot of laws that try to limit or create barriers to that participation. i co direct the voting rights project that work really open my eyes to the challenges within our democracies wasn't just about elections, but it was the rule that racial discrimination played in floating right. so is america? democracy is a country that's learning how to be a democracy, but it's not there yet. and wanted to make sure that my daughter would become a citizen of a democracy who is really engaged and not taking that democracy for granted the democracy in the ideal should definitely b

and post-jim crow how certain laws have remained on the books that allowed the disenfranchisement of people particularly in the context of voting rights and disenfranchisement laws are huge impediments to millions of americans with the right to vote. over 5.5 one million i believe the number is. the fact that we have not abolished what we call the slavery provision in our constitution on the federal constitution and the state constitutions. four or five states abolished the slavery provisions in their constitutions. these are connected to what is happening in a way that mass incarceration has resulted from creating the narrative describing the reality that there should be laws that would fight crime and being tough on crime had particularly singling out marginalized communities but particularly black and brown communities had dire consequences. we have seen that continuing, and that is what people are not just talking about reforming some of the laws like mandatory minimums like abolishing the death penalty, which we know is racist and arbitrary and has wrongful convictions, and all

and we see those slave codes evolve into black codes and eventually what we call jim crow laws creating a system of legalized segregation and discrimination that later in the plessy versus ferguson case in 1896, the supreme court legalizes and ratifies. so that's a large failure in reconstruction. another failure in reconstruction is even though there is there's a huge improvement in education, there's another area that would have greatly benefited african-americans in the south and that be the redistribution of land. so you have this large formally enslaved population and you've got these white plantation owners and unfortunately, the land is not generally going to be redistributed. and so then that begs the question of what kind labor system is going to emerge in the south during and after reconstruction. and what what does happen is the emergence of a labor system known as sharecropping in theory, sharecropping is better than wage because sharecropping gives the workers the opportunity to, profit from their hard work and split a share of the proceeds. and sometimes that works, but al

what led black farmers away was a combination of factors big city jobs, violence and the jim crow south and a decades long history of lending, discrimination by the u.s., agriculture department. historically, they have not been able to get those loans. and so eventually you can't keep up with the cost of maintaining or running a farm on your own and you lose it. the cost to generations of black farming families is estimated to run into the hundreds of billions of dollars. despite all that, there are signs of new growth. we need to not just talk about what african-american farmers have lost. we need to also talk about black farmers who are flourishing despite some of these historic and systemic difficulties and those who are being brought back to the land and those in particular who are who are being brought back to the land, because this is also mac johnson's legacy. 100 miles and three generations away is the geography for valerie and her daughters, mikayla off and camille raised livestock. continuing the tradition of the girls, great grandfather mac jobs, both women plan to use their

we are not talking about the economic harms of slavery, we are talking about the fact that jim crow segregation, eminent domain, disparate policies and lending have led to economic losses for this community. therefore, economic growth -- economic reparations are the only -- are the only appropriate means to respond to those harms. if the governor decides not to respond to those economic harms, that is a choice. but of course, there is a direct relationship between economic loss and economic restoration. that is what we have put forward through our recommendations. kristen: the ball is in the legislature's court. thank you for your time. >> thanks for having me. kristen: next, phony parking tickets. the latest scam circulating san francisco. how can you avoid becoming a kristen: we told you this story last week. a parking ticket scam. reddit users posted photos of the phony tickets like this. they have a qr code directing people to a fake website that looks a lot like sfmta. the fake site has been taken down. how can drivers like you and me avoid being scammed? joining us live is greg pepper, he

an america that has moved beyond the days of jim crow and colored water fountains and blatant racism but still suffers from inequality, discrimination, systemic racism that often happens behind the scenes, often happens behind closed doors and underneath the surface and wanted to showcase how that operated in george floyd's life. everyone saw how he died, under the knee of a police officer that happened to be white. there are many ways that racism takes place that is not quite as visceral, not quite as emotional, not quite as evident as someone dying under the knee of a police officer and we wanted to showcase how that happens in our school systems, prison systems, housing systems and show the george floyd was a human being. he had his ups and downs and highs and lows but he was a human being before he became this icon of social justice. we wanted to honor his human story and allow people to see him for who he was, not just on his worst moments but throughout the course of his life. that is what we wanted to show. >> that was in may of 2020. three years ago. what were some of his ups

i want to i want to pick up on the michelle alexander or the new jim crow is her book. yeah. because you really go right at her in your book and in a respectful way. but you cite a lot of things. i want to get into that in a minute, but rape back. rafael, back to you. you in your book, just 2% of u.s. counties see about 50% of u.s. murders in a given year and 54% of counties in the u.s. don't see any murders in a given year. we wrote a paper because there as a rebuttal because there was, you know, this this red state crime, murder problem. right. and we realized, well, that's odd because first of all, you don't look at state rates. you look at grand killer rates. and so we found out and looked at the data and realized it's actually a blue city murder problem and who's running those cities? and you know of the top 30 cities. you know, almost half absorbs bought and paid for, wrote prosecutors. there's all sorts of issues. and so you can't really overlay the politics on this. you have to see where the crime is actually happening. what you learn from writing this book about, it
