these laws actually enshrined the demands of the ku klux klan of the ultra-right organization, which defended the supremacy of whites, including segregation in education, blacks could not be taught together with whites often. it was a very big problem, because to do less, so that there was a little more and sometimes, in order to go to school, in general, african americans had to overcome very long distances, but this is also tens of kilometers 10 and 20. yes. and even sometimes more, and in connection with this a in the united states in 1954, but began a few years earlier, and it ended in a very large legal proceeding to the well-known as the case of a brow. against the education committee and in fact the us supreme court had a state court decision kansas about separate education. yes , from this moment begins the process of 10 aggregation, that is, the joint training of whites and blacks. as you understand, this process was very painful and took a long time. here are the events of 1957. in the state of arkansas , it refers specifically to. e. these events on the formation of organz

we know his reverence for his father who was arrested in a ku klux klan demonstration and they can 25, give you some idea of what red trump was like. but let's talk about some of the others. roy cohn. what did he learn from roy cohn? >> roy cohn becomes trump's lawyer in 1973 when trump and his father and the business are being sued by the justice department for discriminatory housing practices and he tells trump fight like hell. and trump learned a couple of things. one is you can use the court system interchangeably with public relations. you can shout as loud as possible and try to keep whoever's challenge you at bay for a while that way. you can threaten and intimidate and menace. even if you settle you will not say you are settling. and most specifically what he learned with the role of a lawyer could be turned into something almost like a mafia don, something completely different than what lawyers are supposed to do. a longtime trump friend has said to me several occasions, trump likes lawyers who are willing to do anything. >> did he turn himself into a mafia don? he gave six a

obituary noted that the appearance of an african american onstage we couldn't hear threats from the ku klux klanination to overcome hatred, it inspired a new generation of black ballerinas. including mystical plan herself. we a principal dancer and the wind at my back. resilience, grace and other gifts for my mentor raven wilkinson. misty, it is so great to see you you're looking fabulous. >> you sent me to a warm home idea because i was not actually aware ever even look incident. but because of this book and the chance to interview you, how did jimmy and talk about the mentorship with you. >> yes really unbelievable in the best and -- you know 11 years and my professional career, that's undiscovered who raven was. we it was about a company that brought ballot to america. one of the most important of the 20th century. we spoke algoma came on the screen, it was raven. no idea with that or buckle monster the company. she joined the company 1955. i dance there for seven years. what was really remarkable she became a soloist. even today in the standards it was rare to see black principal dancer and

in the face of all of the terror and the lynching, we choose not to be a black version of the ku klux klan because the black people that have chosen to be a black version of the ku klux klan, there would have been a january 6th every three or four years. every black community would be a sight of terrorist set dissent. here comes the black church. here come those falling in love with a palestinian jew named cheeses of nazareth. here comes the black people who say, in the face of all of this terror, we choose freedom for everybody. in the face of all that is trauma, we choose not to be wounded herders but wounded healers, here comes louis armstrong, here comes curtis mayfield, nina simone, duke ellington, mary lou williams, aretha franklin. all of that terror, all of that trauma, all of that hatred, how do you keep dishing out that love? how do you keep dishing out that healing? maybe you at your best could be the lemon in the democratic loaf. given all the talk about republic and equality on the ground, we're going to end that civic virtue in ways in which a french aristocrat never conceive

in the face of all the terror in the lynchings we chose not to be a black version of the ku klux klan because black people have chosen to be a black version of ku klux klan that would've been a january 6th every three or four years. because of the black community would be a sight of terrorists for sale. but no come here comes the black church. here comes those with the palestinian jew named jesus of nazareth. here comes the black people n tt said in then face of all of this care we choose freedom for everybody. and the face of all this trauma, we choose not to be wounded, but wounded healers. here comes lori armstrong. here comes curtis mayfield. here comess nina simone. here comes duke ellington. here comes mary lou williams. here comes aretha franklin. all of that trauma, all the hatred. how do you keep dishing out that love and joy? huddy keep dishing out that healing? may be you at your best could be 11 and the american -- get all of this talk about democracy and republic and equality on the ground. we're going to enact civic virtue in ways in which the french aristocrat named de

>> if you believe that to have a clan among them is doing good things, take this, in 1925, the ku klux klan could claim 30 million members, white and christian. likely for publicity reasons this was exaggerated and say that actual klan members stood near 4 million and 4 million klansmen standing in 1935 and count forward 100 years to grandchildren and great grandchildren in the year 2025, and add up to about 135 million livering white americans. 50% of the white population of the united states. seeing another one that was one of two whites have a family link to the ku klux. every other white person if he or she knew the names of ancestors in which to research their lives could produce a klan family

that people hear the term white supremacy for example and the first thing they think about is the ku klux klan like, flags burning or crosses burning and they don't think about it in terms of societal structures . it's very easy to say i'm not those people. i'm not obviously racist in that sense. and it's not written even really about you as a person. it's very much about the societal structures we have in place to keep certain people in power. sometimes i wonderthat we use different language . it creates a barrier where you can't get past that labeling and its civil rights era language were using in the 21st century that may not apply to what we're trying to do. >> the thing that becomes clear is there is no language that the structure will tolerate. it's just the way that the nonviolent movement in the civil rights movement is absolutely intolerable to that power structure. it's the way that colin catholic kneeling was intolerable as a means of protest. it is the way that saying that slavery is foundational and has to be examined in the way that it has affected our nation. the way it has aff

during reconstruction, politicians brought forth the ku klux klan to terrorize even persons in my native state of mississippi, to keep them from voting. in mississippi, september 4, 1875, 50 black people were massacred e. we dna of our american political process and the mindset of a nation that claims to be one nation under god. for all does not include black people, and the marginalized who unfortunately have been insulted and assaulted. >> reverend brown, thank you for your time. it is sad we continue to talk about this, but the conversation is so needed. thank you for your time. >> perspective is important to hear. >>> the market just opened about 13 minutes ago. there's nothing like hitting the waves. there's nothing like volunteering. but my moderate-to-severe eczema can make it hard. now i'm staying ahead of it. dupixent helps heal your skin from within. so you can have clearer skin and noticeably less itch. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes including blurred vision, joint

current state of how american history is being taught, higher education especially stuff like the ku klux klannd the founding fathers, are basically on the same team, stuff like that that has really taken off, the george lloyd kind of national psychosis that happened in 2020 and specifically, would you comment on an article that was -- you comment on a little bit on your website, powerlines, it was an american greatness article called america never existed. thank you very much. >> guest: do we have a whole extra hour on this american history question? i could go on on that for literally days. the short version is the teaching of history has been decaying for long time and it is fully deplorable. maybe it started, has older roots but the famous book a people's history of the united states, never mind the factual errors in it but interpretive framework essentially is this. that the defect and sins of america represent the whole of america. i think that is wrong. new versions of like the 1619 project and so forth, want to reduce america to its defects and historical lapses in history. so from the

surrendered and here they were 15 years after the work my five years into the reign of the terror of the ku klux klaninal pretty good alibi. together they took over the entire virginia state governor. -- virginia state government. would ultimately be put down by violent white supremacists and disinformation campaigns. what is remarkable is they planted the seeds for fdr's coalition in that state. it was the old lieutenants -- their young lieutenants would be his old lieutenants in the state and demonstrated again a magnetism between the working people of this country across all the lines used to divide us, wanted to come together because our kids need has to. every time i see virginia tech or virginia stater a public school in virginia, i am reminded these exist the way we know them because former confederate soldiers, formerly enslaved men him together and build a third party, took over the state, and asserted their rights and those of their children. juan: in terms of the lessons for today, especially in the aftermath of the january six bait insurrection and the continued rise in consolidation of t

of it, of those hate groups, white supremacists, right wing extremist groups, it's home to the ku klux klanvin lender social club, storm front, welteroth, patriot front, liberty counsel, lead of the south, and proud boys. the proud boys have seven different chapters, just in florida. i want to show, in this video, this was the first time it became aware of the proud boys. mrs. heckling, and we got to put out over it. they are heckling speaker pelosi, and they are trying to intimidate her. you can see this kind of thing happen, and now, the proud boys, have essentially, taking control of the miami-dade republican party. extremists move into politics. >> i think it is worth noting, to, one of the hate groups, that you didn't mention, is called america first. america first is not only the trumpist slogan, not only a plank in rick scott, the senator from florida's 11 point program, and the senate platform, but, is, all so, the name of the fascist party from the united states in the 1940s. i think this is fairly blatant, and out in the open, but it is an issue that is connected to politicians, a

and obviously, that was called the ku klux klan in 1871, when individuals came forward and passed thatn't be intimidated if you came and participated with this great government of ice. so, i think people should not be intimidated. i think we absolutely have a right, as americans, to participate and not be intimidated. and so, to be honest with you, symone, what occurred on january 6th, and what our committee ultimately uncovered, well, there were individuals who really wanted to alter the outcome of the will of the people. and they will prepare -- the chief of staff, the president, other people, about doing these kinds of things, and never in my wildest dreams what i have imagined that a member of congress representing over 700,000 people would participate in the active denial of the right of the lawful -- the lawful right voters in this country. now, that being said, the law is kind of sour on what you can do with members who participated in that. i subpoenaed those for members, they refused to acknowledge the subpoena, and so, the committee said, look, law is kind of sour, we'll get

yellowstone legislation in 18, in 1872 comes months, congress passes, the antiquark klux klan or the they call the ku klux klan act. and it set up the justice department to pursue the klan. this was a period where the national was feeling the congress in particular feeling it was capable of actually not only designating a park, but having united states run it as well. it took a long time to work the kinks, obviously, but at that was the intent. it's also true and it's this is the book i don't know if it was in our talk today, but the failure of reconstruction and then the later creation, the park service under during that difficult period in the early 20th century of the jim crow laws, there are lots of reasons why it was better for the park service to have a news story about its origins. right. was it was it was it was, you know, tying it in as ralph was referring earlier, i think, to all of the messiness of the civil war, tying it into a person like olmstead was known for this outright condemnation of the old south. i mean, he was as far as, you, these were people who saw it firsthand and they were

, you know, older approach to domestic terrorism where we think about distinct groups like the ku klux klan and racially motivated extremists. we're living in a different time now and have to embrace the fact or acknowledge the fact that a large part of this threat comes from a broad spectrum of groups that are united around conservative, political ideology. it doesn't mean all conservatives or all republicans are domestic terrorists. i'm not saying that. but many of these groups that are motivated individually by antipathy toward ethnic groups or immigrants or super focused on second amendment rights or whatever those things may be are united in their support for conservative politics and they are together resorting to violence. we saw it on january 6th. we've seen it in groups like the boogaloo boys and others and now on the individual level. >> thank you. >>> coming up the husband of missing mom ana walshe will be charged with murder just hours from now. prosecutors say there is more evidence coming even with her body still missing. >>> plus more on congressman george santos and his lies

we've seen it from the ku klux klan to the slave catchers, to the police in the 60s, to the police upresent day. and so, how long do people have to wait for justice? we are not waiting for it to bend in our direction. we are saying to people, this is unacceptable. and there should be consequences. there is a failure in terms of policing in this country, responsibility, accountability, and integrity. >> so, so much of what i've been reading recently says this video is about the systemic changes that need to happen. right? this isn't necessarily about the identity of the officers, it's more about the system of policing. and i want to read for you specifically a quote from the new york times that set it out for me today. saying this, it brought into focus what many black people have said is lost in police brutality cases. that the problems of race and policing are a function of an entrenched police culture of aggression and dehumanization of black people, more than of interpersonal racism. it is the system and the tactics that foster racism and violence, they say. rather than the specifi

about -- your lawsuit is one of several others but also argues that the former president violated ku klux kland in the insurrection. >> look. this is what this case is all about. we are defending democracy. the officers that day defended democracy. most of the officers who are clients happen to be black man. they defended democracy on the frontlines that day. if you think about it through our history, every time there's a violent effort to overthrow democracy, quite often, it is something to do with race and white supremacy. think about the 1960s. think about january 6th, where the big lie itself was fueled by false allegations of voter fraud and cities with large black voting populations, philadelphia, atlanta, detroit, des moines -- they did not talk about texas. they talk about cities with a -- >> gay man. let me tell you. i grew up baptist and from where i am from -- i want to continue this conversation with you. in one of the shows, where i'm filling in -- you will come back. because this is a story we are all watching. thank you for being here today. next, folks, before we go, we need to

nine ballots because in the 1923, that he was probably the peak of the influence of the ku klux klan in america. and the statues were going up all over the south. another ugly time. but you got not only the ugly divisions in 2023, you got a spectacular week, lying kevin mccarthy, who does not have defined views of his own as far as we can see. he doesn't want to exercise strong leadership in the matter of -- and i will also say nancy pelosi, same and other strong leaders of history. this was a tragic comedy. ballots, you saw the speaker covered mccarthy not saying this is what we stand for. if we are not unified behind these ideas, give the speakership to someone else. instead, it was like somebody going from person to person, going back into the floor of a house for the next two years. battle make the move for me for speaker. it was embarrassing. it was a margin of the republicans, had this is going to be a free-for-all, especially with this possibility that anyone on the house republican side can say, i want a new. speaker that could happen hourly. >> when you look at all those rac

who were insurrectionist who seceded from the union, they were also the party of slavery and the ku klux klan, and jim crow. if you want to talk about oppression let's look at the trained seals called the democratic party. host: mapp in dallas texas, democratic caller -- matt in dallas, texas. democratic caller. caller: i am glad i got to follow her. here is the problem with the argument that it is good to have debate. i want people to go back to election night, november 2022. kevin mccarthy said he was excited to fire nancy pelosi. excited. i cannot get that out of my head. now he is the one who might be fired. i have heard it mentioned a few times in the speeches for kevin mccarthy that 85% of the republican caucus voted for him to be the republican leader. all of the sudden they wanted to take that back. i just have to say, i am so proud of the democrats sticking together. it has been 212 votes for jeffries, not once, not five times, 11 times. all democrats. if mccarthy was really interested in being speaker he would have tried to pick off a few democrats to join in getting him speaker but

we're going to talk about the of the ku klux klan next week. and you'll see that the klan was strong in maine, including in towns like milo dexter, very close to manson. i think the key reason that monson immigrants were better treated than many immigrants in other parts of maine is that unlike franco and irish americans, modern immigrants from northern europe. they were protestant. they were building. lutheran and methodist churches. and they were eager to. so the klan in maine was mainly an anti-catholic anti-immigrant group. this beautiful church building the lutheran church constructed in 90, still in monson. and the legacy of immigration continue to shape the town. i grew up around people with last names like burke and sumi and erickson. all right let me wrap it up. we've seen that monson like other american rural places during the late 19th century, was well aware the challenges posed by the growth cities and that it was quite ingenious in drawing upon urban and global resources to respond to those challenges. monson did this by creating

the ku klux klan was an election denying movement. coup of wilmington in 1898 was a white supremacist election denying movement. white supremacy in the united states of america will not accept the results of democracy if it goes against the wishes of white supremacy. it's an absolute tinder box. what we have arrived at now is a moment much like the lead-up to the civil war and that era of wilmington where you have a white supremacist population that is heavily armed and is heavily radicalized and ready for violence. these election denying conspiracy theorists are the perfect way to ignite that. the people who push them in order to push their own agendas, they're absolutely playing with fire, and they have already gotten people killed, people harassed. that poor woman you were talking to earlier. i mean, we're pushing public figures out of the public arena. we're making it to the point where nobody wants to be involved with any of this for fear of their lives. this is the way you attack open society and the way you start to notch up wi

by his family members alleges things like assault, aiding and abetting assault, violation of a ku klux klanl death. i think the challenge for them will be to legal up illegally trump's actions inciting the mob that day and results that occurred. and the question for a jury to decide is the causation question. was it reasonably foreseeable for donald trump when he engaged in those acts to inside the mob? that's a serious injury or death could result from his words? that will be a jury question, but sure, i think they've got absolutely a chance to be able to make that case. there is again $10 million and damages. and it's not instead of but in addition to criminal liability. civil i ability can be an important way of holding people accountable. >> glenn, attorney general merrick garland put out a statement this week highlighting the work that the department of justice has made with its arrest and charges of those attacked. who attacked the capitol saying in part, quote, i'm working as far from over. what work can be done from the doj now that the january 6th committee has been dissolved? >> t

kids were having an inflow once on our early park development in denver was at a time when the ku klux klan had had complete control of our city. and so in some ways, it was guilt by association and but it also represented in denver the movement to build parks in the city, beautiful movement was it you know this the the founding fathers, shall i say. and it was ralph talked about the prerogatives of wealth and influence and that the very notion of olmsted parks was not that, but that it was equitable. yet the people in cities around the country who were who were doing their own version of olmsted parks were in fact representatives of the prerogatives of wealth and influence. and so we have this very mixed bag. and i like to say, like the founding of our country, the the complexities and the paradoxes of our history and the history of olmstead designs and parks and ideas is also equally complex, especially when you think about the relation ships. achim talked about the relationships, the marriage relationship and and like all relationships they are also complex and multifaceted added. and so

protestant hostility towards catholics that led, among other things, to a vigorous rebirth of the ku klux klan in, the 1920s, and also the attempt by various government authorities to suppress jehovah's witnesses was actually led a lot of our major first amendment cases in the 1940s. these have only the faintest echoes today, and i think most younger americans in particular think of them as being kind of ridiculous, like no one cares that we have a catholic president, catholic speaker, the house, six catholic supreme court justices, except sometimes when abortion comes up, that becomes an issue in general. there's no no one's rioting in illinois over the catholic dominated u.s. government in future. perhaps we will look back on racial conflicts as a vestige of a less sophisticated and tolerant past. how the us government handles racial classification will pay play a major role in whether we reach that outcome. law played a significant role in establishing racial divisions in. the united states and law, or its absence can play a significant role, either maintaining or abolishing or at least dim

period of time, part of this is historical, if you look back, there was a investigation into the ku klux klan in the 70s which did not -- it generated a lot of attention but we all know what happened and failure of reconstruction and nixon was part of that so there was accountability but the chief actor escaped accountability, legal accountability. >> the one i'm worried about, safety and security command structure around the capitol and who gets to do what whether it's national guard or capitol police, it is a real problem and we look at the back and forth between the states and defense department and justice department, that is an issue, it wasn't as public and i'm hopeful at least privately people have done what they call an autopsy of the claim to figure out what could be. i'm sure it is addressed and whether you are left or right, you ask yourself, could this happen again? if you don't fix that, the answer is yes, it could. >> i know they plan to look into the and we will see that be a serious investigation and we will watch and see what they learn but they said specifically capitol poli

very important congressional hearings that have taken place, there was an investigation into the ku klux klann the 1870's. it generated a lot of attention, but of course we all know what happened in the failure of reconstruction and what followed that. and watergate, president nixon was pardoned. there was some accountability surrounding that but the chief actor in the whole drama escaped accountability, at least legally. the >> >> one that i'm worried about is, you can see it from here, the safety and security and command structure around d capitol and how things get decided, who gets to do what, whether it is the national guard or capital committee. that is a real problem. you look at the back and forth between the mayor's office, the states and defense department and justice department and the like. that is an issue because it was not as public and i'm hopeful at least privately, people have done what they call an autopsy to figure out what did not work and what could be improved. i'm sure it is in the written report but that is an area that i think whether you are on the left or the right

invasive all of those who care in the lynching, which is not to be a black version of the coup in the ku klux klan because the black people who chosen to do that, with a minute january 6th, every three or four years. these are black community would be aside of this but no, here comes the black church in a comes those with palestinian named jesus of nazareth you have the black people that said in the face of all that of the scary to choose freedom for everybody in the face of all of this, and choose not to be wounded but wounded healers here comes louis armstrong. here comes curtis and nina simone and here comes duke ellington and here comes mary lou williams, here comes aretha franklin and all care and all of that trauma all of the tasers, you keep dishing out that love and joy. how do you keep dishing out that feeling and maybe you have to go back to these 11 in the emerging democratic low to get off of all the start of a democracy republic any quality unveiled and were going to enact civic virtue in ways which they never could see. but we as the great insight as a starting point and what happens
