it started with ferguson and michael brown. that grand jury did not indict. why? the prosecutor was in charge of it and did not want an indictment. if you look of the transcripts of the jury, very rarely is it released, but he released it. it was very clear he was on the side of that police officer. that is why there is a call in cases where police officers are charged or alleged to have killed a citizen or an individual, they have called for prosecutors to step aside and allow an independent person to come in and present the case to the grand jury. prosecutors worked very closely with police officers. it certainly does not appear theythey can be fair if are tasked with investigating the very officers that they work with every day and rely on to make their cases. if you look at these cases from case in ohio and michael brown in ferguson and so many others, the case involving eric garner, the grand jury's did not indict you that unless -- even though it's very easy for grand jury's tonight. people find it very difficult to face. why is it that prosecutors indict pe

state-appointed panel known as the ferguson commission grappled with in the months following michael brown'sas the region's long history of housing segregation. black residents in st. louis remain largely concentrated in poor and violent neighborhoods, often in sub-standard homes. those conditions fuel depression, childhood asthma, diabetes and other health problems. one study, for example, found that one in three children who live in high poverty areas had elevated lead in their blood which can permanently affect their development. dr. craig pollack, a public health researcher at johns hopkins, says moving families to wealthier zip codes can improve their health, their education, even how long they live. >> for adults, we know that having the chance to move to an opportunity neighborhood, a low- poverty neighborhood, is linked with having a lower chance of getting diabetes, as well as a lower chance of being obese. we also know that for kids that have the chance to move to opportunity neighborhoods at a young age, they tend to have higher incomes later on in life, and they're also more like

[cheers] >> how are y'all doing today? i am from a small place in the middle of the country called st. louis. i don't not know if you all heard of it. i guess we get considered a flyover place and people rarely pay attention to how we live. do you know what i'm saying? a couple of years back, a kid was killed and we all went out into the street to get justice for him. we would not have been able to mobilize. we would not have been able to get any attention on and nobody would have known what happened to us after the protests started without a free internet. known about have uprising in other countries are places like st. louis, flint flint, it shouldn't and places like that without a free internet. movie, i camethis here to talk about this specific thing to members of congress. i remember it was a hard concept for me to grasp in the beginning until i realized that it was not just about having to pay a ortle bit more for netflix

museum associate curator michael brown describes the original we're standing in front of one sanchez cotyledons masterpiece the still life with quince cabbage cucumber and melon it was painted in sixteen o two into wedo in spain and it is a groundbreaking example of still life painting at the very earliest decorated of the of the seventeenth so what makes it so special this painting was a really pioneering depiction of a three dimensional illusion so he's using in two dimensions he is creating an imaginary tactile experience do you think it's possible to you. to give that same impression to someone the able to visually see this painting absolutely because i think that that one of the one of the ways that we interact best with with the public and of all different abilities is telling stories and the stories help to bring works of art to wife and although we can't touch this painting itself we can touch the replica and filled with those stories understand it in two thousand and fourteen we had this made so that people who can see this painting can still experience it so tell me how thi

but for the mother of tamir rice or the father of michael brown, a friend of sandra bland and eric garner'sime is all they have. if it ever brings them to any comfort at all. and just as the sense of one or even a dozen workplace predators does not equate to true justice for working women, the rightful conviction of michael slager is far from full vindication for people of color, and we've seen this week white americans who have been slain by police under dubious circumstances. perhaps it's worth to note that slager pled guilty. before his sentencing said, quote, i wish i could go back in time and change the events. but i can't. i'm standing before the scott family and the court and taking responsibility. and when walter scott's mother, judy, looked directly at slager from the stand saying that she forgave him for the murder of her son, mr. slager cried. while i will never excuse the actions that put officer slager in this position, as a minister i can respect the contrition that he has shown. as i said before, what we saw this week was an aberration and one that is not likely to be repeate
