it wasn't until 1965 blac 1965 k women and brown women actually got the right to vote. and then it was the 26th amendment acknowledged young people could be sent off to die for their country should be allowed to live and vote in their country. so that tenure has given us both the attention of knowing we've been considered less than since our inception but also the promise of what we could be if they lived up to our ideals. i wrote this book in the wake of the 2018 election because i was mad. i talk about this a bit in the closing and in the beginning. i was angry not just because i didn't become governor, but i was angry because tens of thousands of people i spoke to had promised if they did their part and showed up and participated in our democracy, they would have the opportunity to change the things they needed to change and because of the voter suppression, they restricted those rights and it wasn't just being stripped of the right to vote or having the vote count. they were denied health care. being told that you're not only are at risk that you don't have the righ

we should be focused on getting the k-6 kids back to school where the development is so critical. too many black and brownft behind. we are very focused on that, making sure the resources are there and we are also looking at a paper strip testing that could bring the cost down to maybe $1 to $5 a test and really have mass testing almost daily for a population like the schoolchildren. >> that is so important. we are also getting ready to start the democratic national convention. what is the most essential message democrats need to get across over the next four nights from your perspective? >> this is a re-election for a sitting president and it is really about the incumbent. you can see i am proud to be the second national co-chair for joe biden and working hard to help him choose a superb running mate which happens to come from the golden state, kamala harris. it is about the pandemic stupid and also about the economy stupid. those two things showed failure from our incumbent and it is not just rejecting donald trump but we have to communicate this historic ticket that is about restoring the soul of the n

brown communities. it particular hits at times when we need this expansion, so in arizona in 2008, the recession hit and at the same time we had about 40% to 50% k-12 students being of color. then you had the people who were in charge, who are largely anglo, largely older republicans and they use the recession to cut funding for schools, they cut funding for pre-k, they cut funding for medicaid. anything you could get your hands on, they used it as a way to cut investment in those communities because those aren't my kids, that's not my school. ourave to make sure position on the federal government, we cannot allow that to happen. that disinvestment in those communities ends up -- it horrible. people want to invest in the workforce of tomorrow today. we are not going to have the workforce, we are going to have slower gdp growth in a weaker country. in general, it is a bad investment policy. neera: this is one of the reasons chairman jeffries made the point that stabilization is so critical. many states will basically cut the most vulnerable communities if left to their own devices. that's why it's so vital the federal government really layout fun

i think that for many black and brown voters, many voters of color their opinions about donald trump are already baked in ac's not going to win over very many votes from k voters or latino voters. i do think, however, he he would tike to inoculate himself a bi and win back some of the support from college educated white women, suburban wives that he talks about that he has been losing. a lot of those voters don't want to believe that they would be supporting a racist. and so to the extent that trump can humanize himself a show that there are some prominent blacks willing to speak up for hi he maybe able to win over some of those voterso why be waivering a bit. >> woodruff: gary abernathy what about that. how do you think about that, softening up an i or shifting an imagine order to appeal to ar wider gp of voters. >> se. well i'm glad that they're tackling this racist question head on. i think that is important. e, all the things -- places like where i l probably the most offensive thing people hear from their point of view abt this president they support is that he is a racist because by pro they feel like it's call all of them a arrestist, they'reac s
