joining me to discuss this, the president of the los angeles city council herb wesson, and nathan hawkmanmr. wesson, how did this idea come up? >> well, you know what, i have to defer to president hawkman. it was the ethics commission that suggested to me that we'd look at this situation based on the crisis that we're having, where it relates to getting people to go to the polls. >> okay. so this would be a lottery type situation, as i understand it. but i'm going to ask you then, mr. hochman, you are in charge of the ethics. are there ethical concerns? i would like to think people inform themselves and get out there to vote, not because they want to win money. >> certainly there's ethical concerns, but in los angeles city elections, we have reached a crisis. only two out of ten registered voters are actually meeting, which means effectively that one out of ten registered voters is deciding the election. we have reached that crisis level. so what we suggested is one of the proposals to consider is an innovative out of the box solution of using a voter drawing and using approximately 1% of

los angeles over 20 years. is los angeles the most racially inclusive city in the united states? >> no. i don't think so. it is still fairly segregated. people have the pockets with ethnicity say you have african-americans that live in certain places, asian americans who live other places, , etc.. is still fairly segregated there is a west side and east side and los angeles is still struggling with inclusiveness. i as we get more and more places in this country and outside of the country we have something to work on we are evolving. >> host: were you teaching this semester? >> i am all leave but this summer i will be teaching a class on film and slavery. >> host: we're talking with brenda stevenson. the book is "the contested murder of latasha harlins" justice, gender, and the origins of the la riots". you are watching booktv on c-span2. >> what we can all do to save america's future presidential proposes u.s. decline and consensus solution appeals to every decency and common sense. this program is about an hour. >> host: doctor carson, welcome. i think the best way to start before we delve into the buck

that resulted in is surveys in los angeles, san jose and san francisco and i think the city here now is the furthest along, there may be other initiatives that i don't know about in los angeles and san jose. the ghs program was a direct result of that. that said, i think it's really important that the commission get it's handle around all of the recommendations in the report just to counter a little bit of what the discussion or the direction has been going in. i think you need some sticks just to purely try to depend on incentives and that kind of thing. i think it's a good idea, but it also has to accompany a little bit process and at least somewhere the city can implement things. i think it's also highly economically driven in terms of incentives and other kinds of assistance that the city can provide. i think that's where you have to expand the concept a little bit and try to get the mayor's office of economic and workforce development involved. they do have a neighborhood initiative going. they have a sign by japan down. in any case, that's where some of

lucky for me the city of los angeles, just a couple of years ago, decided to allow backyard chickens, up to three and no roosters. so -- but many places are a little behind, and many cities, including the city of los angeles, will come and cite you if you have a vegetable garden in your frondyard. so we're sit wrestling with that. >> host: have americans always been environmental lists. >> guest: americans have not always been environmentalists. we have a rare perverse veneration of nature. we also venerate it in so far it's is makes us difference wind chill thought our wilder is in continent gives us an opportunity to remake the world from the corruption of europe. we came from corruption and destroyed countries. but at the same time, we brought with us a cultural attitude towards wild nature, that it was somehow terrifying, dangerous and needed to be subdued. so we both think that the american wilderness is something that confers an enormous difference and beauty and sub himmity to us but we'll kill the world as fast as we can and cut down the forests as fast as we can and turn natu

lucky for me the city of los angeles, they decided to allow backyard chickens many places are a little bit behind many cities will come and fight if you have a vegetable garden in your front yard. is still wrestling with that idea. >> host: of america's always been environmentalist ? >> guest: we have not. we have a rather perverse federation of nature it makes us different. we have thought that our wilderness, and that is what gives us an opportunity to remake the world. for rubber, we all came from corrupt and destroyed countries. at the same time we brought with us a cultural attitudes toward wild nature, it was somehow terrifying, somehow dangerous and needed to be subject. we buffeted that the american wilderness is something that confers enormous difference and non and eugene, we will co levels as fast as we can and cut down the forest as fast as we can in turn nature itself and to agriculture. so i think environmentalism as it appeared in the 19th century was another aspect of as a anxiety about the changes. since it was a soldier you look at the mid century, the great american

walking down a city street, a citizen of los angeles, walking down a city street unarped at 8:00 on a monday night. i can't think of a more innocent circumstance. but to be set upon by these officers who absolutely lost control and went to deadly force. this young man, what kind of fight could he have put up? really, this is as sickening as it is sad. >> have you had any contact from the lapd? we've been trying very hard to get any further details. there have been very few details have he leased. have you been able to get any details from them, any open lines of communication with the lapd? >> no, i've been practicing over 40 years here in los angeles, and rod any king was not my first and tragically not my last case involving the 4r57d. but the investigation which is now being conducted, actually follows the so-called profiled officer involved shooting, and the compilation of what is called a murder book the difference between the lapd investigating a case where someone who was a suspect and might have been involved in a shooting, the investigation wants to paint a brush of guilt ove

los angeles where the verdicts are from the rising of the king beating. >> 1992, south central los angeles, violence and looting spread across the city. los angeles police department was institutionally racist. the beating of rodney king was the proof on video tape of an everyday reality. >> for years, people had a grievance about what they call police abuse. what rodney king did on video tape validated every abuse complaint that people ever had. they were able to point it out and say that happened to me. >> when the policemen responsible were acquitted, the city exploded. dozens died in six days of violence. they're saying the same thing in ferguson, missouri today. two days after michael brown was killed in ferguson, a 24-year-old was shot dead by police in la. he was unarmed and had learning difficulties. the protests here have not been as big or violent. witnesses say he was lying face down and shot in the back. the la police department says in a struggle he went for the officer's gun. communities are furious. the la police chief came to the community meeting to hear people's concerns. are there were many. >> my question is when is

launched right now in los angeles in the little toek 84 i -- tokyo area called the first cultural eco district. they have a big push to have public transportation go through the city of los angeles and they chose little tokyo as a big hub spot. they said we are going to put this big bus stop or rail stop here and we are going to have it above ground and there was a lot of opposition to that and so to fast forward, the hub stop will be underground, but in addition to that they decided to take it one step further and include other elements to really enhance this transit center so they are going to incorporate green technology, they are going to promote business, they are going to promote partnerships with all these different small businesses communities and the transit department and then to really preserve the cultural and community values that currently exist. so mike and i briefly talked about this as kind of a model that we can pick and choose and borrow from as well as this cultural eco district always looked at two particular cities, atlanta and portland in terms of what they are doing to enhance community and social heritage resources. so i just wanted to put
