the kkk burned down frank morris's shop. as of now, we have not heard what happened to the killer. it is possible that they will get away with this act without being exposed even though the police were part of the gang that committed this terrible act. your office is our only hope. >> why is this significant to you? >> it goes to show the feltessness that they -- ng this time stupid they fell during this time. hard it wase of how to live in concordia at the time. >> they open the doors wide open and said i will do anything to help you. the fact that the grand jury was convened and part of this mission to look into the frank morris case is really significant. a small step towards justice. thank god we are there now. what we've got to do is continue the momentum and continue to push the federal government to resolve this case. >> c-span's american history tour focuses on native americans. we start off with the level of the biddle big horn. a tour of a new mexico pueblo. 9000-year-old native american autographs in montana. in american history tour continues on c-span. the 1957 desegre

the kkk is going back. >> everybody on there desk is fet long stocks, so it's a question of lounge you are and when you want to be a little less long. i think there is a good way to get less long. >> good point. >>> let's talk about auto, they were one of today's worst performing zpris. the good fuse, car sales rose from last year. they have a big discount. if july discounts increased almost 8% per vehicle. ford and gp dropped 1% on the day. they are down nearly 5% on the week. we saw bearish activity on the market. they put if twice tear daily volume. so are all the put-buyers right? will there be more pain for ford and gm? >> carter, what do you see. >> i this i the people going after the sort side are right. let's take a look. we've constructed a xoits here off about -- composites here of about 20 stocks and the recent break june. these are highly cyclical assets. they are starting to diverge from the markets. the presumption, the autos will fol low. this is a big fail. it's a quality name. it just broke trend. there is no other way to draw it. now, daimler, guess what happened to r

and people killed you the first of the leaders to go to southwest mississippi the stone guest of the kkk and was gunned down in broad daylight by m member of the legislature who was never brought to trial. if he was killed one night. nobody was paying attention ever go in and they said we will not accept this and more. and have the effect but the point i am trying to make it is not just black guerrilla warfare. it is simply a portrayal of love life here although it is not a memoir this is the history and the other thing that i should say, i tried to do in this book again, and i tried to connect the dots of american history of why white supremacy emerged and the founding contradictions are a and they carried over all the way to the 20th century when we began working in the south. bob moses likes to have the audience join him with a recitation of the preamble to the united states constitution the first three words are we the people in the preamble to the constitution -- constitution. it does not say me the white people. read the southerners. it does not say we the new englanders. it says w

i think, perfect sample when duke the kkk won the republican nomination and the republican party disavowed him that was not a message they wanted. point where to the we disavow those kind of messages. i remember as a democrat, i accused ofto be attacking republicans, i remember when a democratic nominee for the congressional date county said the last american please carry the flag out and we elected the honorable -- but both parties and anyone is prone to it, it is the day those messages are punished politically that we really turn the corner. >> congressman as jimmy morales was talking about immigration reform. talk about use of innuendo code thes to be antihispanic in debate. this is one of the issues even though polls suggest and as sal from the tea party express came out with an op ed where he the teaing about party -- as a tea party person favor of immigration reform couldmebody disavowed how anybody who could be conservative be in favor of immigration reform. antihispanic or more legitimate reasons to look beyond? of hatredere is a lot behind some of the immigration reform rhetoric.

the first of the leaders to take us down into southwest mississippi the strongest part of the kkk wasunned down in broad daylight at the tower cotton gin. made by a member of the mississippi state legislature who was never brought to trial the man who witnessed the murder and testify he was killed. getting a lot of his truck one night this was a murderous place nobody was paying attention toç it many were world war ii veterans he said we will not accept this anymore and i discuss why the war has this effect but in part it is not a book about black guerrilla warfare. it is not of romance about guns the assembly a portrayal of the life here in the black south although this is not a memoir or an autobiography coming is a history. the other saying i should say that i try to do in this book again last to do with how history is presented i tried to connect the dots in american history that explain why white supremacy emerged what is the contradictions of the country? they carry into the 20th century when we began working in the south. bob moses when he speaks has the audience join him in t

plus the kkk has turned america's focus on immigration debate, that's coming up at 11:00. our freeze frame is from a joyous reunion. four years ago a child was swet out to sea. a little girl spent the past decade being raised by the fisherman's mother. that 14-year-old girl was reun unightereunited with her family. border land is next. @je... real understanding... >> where you scared when you hear the bombs? >> al jazeera america real... news... >> we made border security a top priority. >> it's not really immigration. it's an invasion. >> they're a constructive part of our society. >> here, taking our resources,

>> i basically said that i am as disgusted or i viewed them as much hate as i do with the kkk. and the truth is, if there is anyone who follows my writing over the years, anyone who has been listening to me over the years, know i've been very consistent in pointing out wrongdoing, regardless of the color of the person doing the wrongdoing. and so when i saw those women running down the street with stolen bags of fake hair, i was just livid. here we are, trying to find some sort of peace, trying to find justice for this young man who has been gunned down, and they're taking advantage of the situation. you know, it's -- if you know anyone, and i'm speaking to the viewers. if you know anyone who looted, if you know who may have fired at that police officer at the police chief, it's your responsibility to call the police and have those people arrested. because they're not part of the solution. they are part of the larger problem. >> you know, i'm curious. and we just heard from the police chief we'll find out the identity of the officer who shot and killed this young man in the nex

my mom told him when i moved out there, that was the kkk, but i did not listen to them.ook them to put nine millimeters on my kids head at 10, 11 years old. >> when you heard about michael brown's killing, what was your reaction? >> what was my reaction? immediately, the streets. immediately. no second thoughts. i had to get out there. if i have to die today, i will, for my grandchild. i'm not running from st. louis no more. no more. >> my name is edward harris. i was angry because i'm tired of seeing young unarmed black man getting killed by police. the police are supposed to protect and serve. we got to stand up and protect ourselves because they not going to do it. they're going to gut as down. >> they could have used a taser. what are the tasers for? just pulling out your gun and shooting. that makes you look at. people going to go the wrong way. people was mad. you don't do stuff like that. >> looting and rioting doesn't make it right, but what else can we do? we took the martin luther king approach first, with these, but there is no peace and no justice, but there

now, to be fair, mitchell's book talks about the kkk and protectors of the poor, rich white people.the film's prologue text takes mitchell's cause to a whole new level. there was a land called the old south. here in this pretty world gallantry. the prologue sets the viewer up for a theme of row manticcism. a theme of a lost camelot. that theme is the real problem with this movie as a secondary source about the ant bell line up south. the history here to her is largely a backdrop. it's an idealized portrait of the elite, white south. this movie depicts that idealized portrait, the lost cause, as if it were reality. where white southerners loved their slaves and their slaves loved them and they were loyal to each other. where the repatience north began the war. but this is especially problem lematic to the roles of blacks and whites. the picture is really a product of the pervasive writings. most notably, the argment that the south was full of kind masters who had the loyalty of their happy slaves. now, to be fair, it was a view that was dominated. that dom nated the study of american

it's like the kkk has placed on their sheets -- >> that is right.that is right. >> we say no more, no more. >> no more, no more. >> right now, a demonstration, a rally in ferguson, missouri, right now, of course this following the death of an 18-year-old boy, michael brown, who everyone in that crowd believes was shot and killed by a police officer. the man speaking right now calling for that police officer to be arrested and charged with murder. >> we know the fbi is investigating, the naacp has demanded both on the local and state level has demanded an investigation. we're looking to hear from folks from the ferguson police department. they are supposed to be having a press conference at some point this hour. we hope to be able to take you there when that happens. >>> can we turn our attention to iraq now? where instability seems to be reining right now. political upheaval in particular and a growing humanitarian crisis. things are happening very quickly. . >>> joining us now from washington is retired colonel lateen. we have this news coming out

i hate black looters at peaceful rallies the way i hate the kkk. how would you -- how would the naacp respond to that. >> that's a problem. our message to everyone, you know -- we want to do things the naacp way. as i've talked to national leaders and board colleagues, the naacp has been around for 105 years, and that's for a reason, because we do things the proper way. and that's with nonviolence. but as well as being proactive and asking the hard questions and getting to the point. and hoping that law enforcement will be transparent with us. we don't want to spread hate. we don't want there to be division. but the first -- the first part of this community, restoring credibility amongst their local law enforcement and especially their city leaders is there's going to have to be some healing. >> well, there is a clear lack of trust. i've heard that from a number of different officials within ferguson today. so you have to have, you know, unbiased third party investigator. we know this is at the federal level now. we know fbi is involved, doj is inv

the kkk military police literally shoot news broad daylight with no reap percussion -- repercussions so we're dealing with a psychological environment where we're constantly being told our lives are worthless, we mean nothing, we contribute absolutely nothing in society, when true history will show that we contributed just about everything that everybody else has. >> host: mr. boser do you want to take some of the racial achievement gaps the caller brings up? >> guest: i think the caller brings up some interesting issues, and a broader debate around race and education. the issue of achievement gap where we look at the achievements between white students and students of color. we have seen, as we talk about at the beginning of the show, that that gap has been narrowing slightly over time. some of that could be partly attributable to the vision of johnson. but we have to also acknowledge we have a long way to go before we really narrow that gap, and we need to be focused on policies we know work. focusing on building instructional capacity, the teachers have the tools they need, and fo

but, and also, another group that has given to that campaign, it's been reported that the kkk has also given money to them. >> i saw that report. i haven't been able to confirm that report, but i did see that. let's talk about something that -- one of the good things -- >> okay. >> -- that may come out of all of this. we were talking before the broadcast started. so much has been made of the lack of political involvement in many parts of this part of st. louis. >> right. >> is that something that you see changing as a result of what we've seen take place over the past two weeks, and how so? >> well, see, because the challenge with political involvement is that there has to be a clear understanding of why i need to get involved. then there have to be mechanisms in place to constantly engage people in the political process. and the history that -- part of the history that has gotten ferguson to the place that it is is that many african-americans move to this community as a result of the things that were going on in the city. the political engagement that was coming down on the african-am

research and stuff for classes, i have found soviet propaganda, crumbling statue of liberty, and the kkking like, is this freedom, is this equality. and so it was something that -- american politicians are going to see it, and i'm sure it definitely is something they thought about. >> you can see where the soviets would use it as fodder as their own propaganda. >> there's the cartoon that pops up where there's a white hand playing with a black child. two months before gettysburg, before the centennial. >> okay. so let me jump forward to the 150th, because that's where we are now. you may have all noticed there is a connecticut sesquicentennial commemoration. i'm not sure you see him, but dr. warshower is in here somewhere. he is there. is he in blue? yes, almost certainly. it is safe to say he's in blue. you will notice that the t-shirts are all blue. there's no gray t-shirt in connecticut. i would say for the 150th, in some ways, this is an observation, there is no national commission. there were efforts to create a national commission. they failed. what we have now is a whole bunch of

to be fair, mitchell's book talks about the kkk as heroes and protectors of the real victims of the war, the poor rich white people. but she also describes reconstruction as a never ending picnic for lazy and dangerous negroes. but the film's prologue text which is not in the book takes mitchell's setting of the lost cause to a whole new level. there was a land of cavaliers and cotton fields called the oiled south. gallantry took its last bow. here was the last ever to be seen of knights and their fair lady. look for it only in books because it is no more than a dream remembered. a civilization gone with the wind. the prologue sets the viewer up for a theme that pervades this film. a theme of confederate romanticism. a theme of a lost camelot. that theme is the real problem with this movie as a secondary source about the antebellum south. catherine described this as confederate porn. the history for her is largely a backdrop for a soap opera. the romance between rhett, scarlet and ashley. when the movie is about anything else, it's an idealized portrait of the elite white south. this mo

also reports that the kkk is trying to get involved here in ferguson. thank you for joining me. who are the oath keepers, and are the comments that this police officer made at this oath keeper meeting in line with their theories? can you hear me? apparently -- okay. she can't. we'll speak with her after the break. back with more of our live news. >>> also coming up, he is an emmy-winning talk show host and activist. tonight, he is calling for peace in ferguson. mo montel williams will join me. >>> the white house' warning to isis, if you come after americans, we're going to come after you. how bad is the threat from isis, and what price will this country pay to get justice for james foley? we'we're trying ourls. best to be role models. we don't jump at the sound of the opening bell, because we're trying to make the school bell. corner booth beats corner office any day. we make the most out of our time... and our money. the chevrolet malibu. j.d. power's highest ranked midsize car in initial quality. the car for the richest guys on earth. even 10 miles away. they can see the ligh

what about the shot to the cheek, what about no prior record, what about a member of the kkk?all know as lawyers, rushing to judgment 12 or 13 days into a case does no good -- >> but there is no forensic evidence, at this point. all we have -- >> well, there is forensic evidence. we just -- it hasn't been released yet. >> right, we don't know it. >> sunny, aren't you a little troubled by kind of the drumbeat for -- when people say, "we want justice," that means, we want an arrest or we want charging. and when you have the attorney flying out there and putting that kind of pressure on and this kind of thing, there is a drumbeat to arrest this guy. >> we've got to go. we're way over time. we know your point. sunny, we'll talk to you again, mark geragos and mark o'mara as well. >>> coming up next, taking on isis and possibly, possibly going into syria to do it or at least bombing syria. the white house signaling the option is definitely on the table. a team of experts on what that would look like when our extended coverage continues. i make a lot of purchases for my business. and

it was local police who released them after dark into the hands of the kkk.chicago police raided the apartment of black panther fred hampton and they shot him in his bed. the panthers opened fire on them, but evidence would later surface that the fbi, the cook county state attorney's office to assassinate hampton. in 1999, new york city police 41 shots at west african immigrants striking him 19 times. the officers said they thought he and earlier this month, 18-year-old michael brown was shot at least six times by a ferguson, missouri, police officer and these officers are part of our collective memory and the living reality. they are the cornerstones of the mistrust and wariness and suspicion that under lie the protests in ferguson. ferguson that have been met with curfews and riot gear and tear gas and military grade weaponry. the question may not be why don't the people trust the police. the question may be, why would they? >>> when we come back, we'll try to answer that question. acturery shut down in america. there's no reason we can't manufacture in the

that is that even before officer wilson was named as the shooter in this case, that the kkk who you alltainly monitor began raising money for the police officer who shot michael brown. >> that's right. there's a group called the new empire nighknights. they have about 32 chapters in 22 states and they announced a fund-raiser as a reward for the officer who shot michael immediately afterwards. right now, it's scheduled for sullivan, missouri, which is about 70 miles south of st. louis for august 23rd and 24th. what we have is, you know, a fault line in our country. a racial fault line. people of good will are trying to narrow it. groups like the clan are trying to widen it. that's what's going on. >> obviously, the officer and no member of the ferguson police force can be responsible for what this group is saying or doing, but hold on for one second, richard. i want to come to you, mark. obviously, the police do have a role here and my anger about what is occurring is, in part, that it seems like there is so much confusion. i just, as a former officer in this moment, is there any way to

there were protests and idiots comparing the police officers to kkk but people running the rallies likeg we are not here against the police. we are here trying to figure out what went wrong so it won't happen again. but, unfortunately, "the huffington post" this weekend. >> it was incredible. >> i'm sure you saw it, mika. for black americans, "the huffington post" said this seems to be a way of life. is it? no, not in every community but we have seen through the summer and throughout the year, unfortunately, one incident after another caught on tape. on august 19th, two st. louis metro police officers caught and killed a 25-year-old man. he was suspected of shop-lift ing products from a convenience store. they say when the man approached the officers fired 12 shots. they fired 12 shots and they killed him. an absolutely horrible scene out of oakland. if you're an african-american, i know it's hard but i want you to do with that famous line from the end of "to kill a mocking bird." if you want to understand, you've got to try to walk a mile in their shoes. and if you're an african-americ
