i thank our congressional black caucus, john lewis, so many over the years who have advanced these very good solutions. >> the phrase "de-fund the police," madame speaker, as you probably know by now, it's a phrase that has already been seized upon by those on the other end of the political spectrum. they're using the phrase to paint you and some others as radical. the phrase "de-fund the police," what does that mean to you? >> well, what it means is let us spend the resources we have in a way that gives the most protection to the american people. protection for their safety. protection for their rights. funding of police is a local matter, as you know. from the standpoint of our legislation, we're not going to that place. what we're doing is talking about how we change policy to make our policing more just and that. there's some issues that we ask police to do, mental health issues, policing in schools, all the rest, that perhaps we can shuffle some of that money around. but those are local decisions. we take an oath to protect and defend the american people. their safety is our top pr

. >> the second part is, general john black jack pershing had a lot of experiences with african-americans during the spanish-american war. did that have anything to do with how he thought of them? he knew the value then. how did that change for him in world war i? dr. williams: regarding african-americans in the navy, served in exclusively menial capacities as messmen. didn't have the opportunity to serve as officers. pershing is complicated. because on the one hand, as you said, he commanded black soldiers in the regular army. in the spanish american war, most recently in mexico. his nickname was n-word jack, so his relationship with black soldiers was kind of vexed. i think he was very attentive to placating the racist attitudes and customs of the military and not upsetting the status quo. so, while he knew firsthand that black soldiers could be effective combatants, could be effective officers, charles young for example served with pershing. pershing was at one point eager to have him on his staff and that didn't happen. the army and woodrow wilson made sure that charles young didn't b

when you mentioned some other black leaders, not turner. john brown. you forgot to mention the ladies. you don't mention sojourn or truth. there are a few people. a lot of these people have remained nameless throughout history, but it might have been a nice point. anyway, the second thing is, there has recently been a book published about john adams about his being a lawyer, representing the british soldiers and winning for them. i have not read it, because i have it on order for my library, but i thought one should read your book and that book, that they might make an interesting contrast, dichotomy. would you suggest or say that might be a good idea? >> i think everyone should by my book -- (laughs) and the book on john adams and make the comparisons. do you know the author of that book? >> i cannot remember but he has been on several talk shows and written articles. there has been reviews of his book. the boston globe, the new york times. >> i haven't read it either. i will have to look for that. >> fortunately, i'm old and pour so i had to order it

johns sees white not a black journalist share those schools with us in the meantime i want to go to judea craven she's recalled just to slate magazine she told us how she sees how black men will look my identity is why i bring a different perspective to the job and inform how i do my work from the stories i decide to pursue to how i interact with the people i interview blackness and the subsequent educational racism is simply another level of expertise that my black peers and i bring to the job and it allows us to do something a lot of folks in our industry because doors really haven't been able to do in their word which is see black folks is human and move our narrative forward accordingly. so i don't. yes makes a great point i mean i think there are so much value to being a journalist who is not in the mainstream especially when the stories in the conversations are complicated where it's not well this or this but actually incredibly nuanced and and complex and even you know there's no sort of black monolith that all agree is sun every topic and so i've really found it very helpful to be
