forrester here today, representing innovate mississippi and the mississippi coding academy. i look forward to hear more about his work to train the next generation of workers in theissippi and around country. in the last couple of days, the app economy has clearly brought value to consumers and businesses. it promises to continue delivering this value as apps increase in personalization and utility for users while adequately safeguarding consumer data. to that end, i look forward to hearing from our witnesses today about how to preserve the many economic and societal benefits of mobile applications. now and in the years to come. before introducing the members of our panel, i recognize my dear friend senator >> thank you for holding mishearing on the support and topic. i would like to address the issue hitting the senate for tomorrow on net neutrality, the battle for the internet itself. it is hard for me to hear something around apps and not mention that this week we will take thepportunity to stand in the senate on behalf of a free and open internet. this will require every

born in decatur, mississippi, mr. evers lived through the gym crow south and wrangled with overwhelming plight of racial discrimination head on. mr. evers was a 1952 graduate of what is now known alcorn state university, a great institution situated in my district. evers worked on the regional council of negro leadership, which provided him with critical training in activism. then, in 1954, he applied to the university of mississippi school of law and despite the landmark brown vs. board of education supreme court decision, his application was rejected. after the rejection by the university of mississippi school of law, mr. evers accepted the position of state field secretary for the naacp. over a 9/11-year period, mr. evers kris -- over a nine-year period, mr. evers crisscrossed over the state trying to get people involved in civil rights activism and register to vote. even though racial discrimination, oppression, have polluted the minds of an overwhelmingly majority of whites in mississippi and throughout the south

i came along and learned as you move toward in the work, mississippi delta and later in jackson, mississippid i moved first to a town formed by former slaves. medgar was the first-known african american to apply. found some other person, perhaps he was the second, but ms. evers thought she was the first. whatever the accomplishment, the willingness to do that is still the same. he applied to the law school. he went to visit with dr. springer to talk about the naacp supporting him. instead they talked to him in taking the position as first field secretary for the naacp and opening an office in jackson, a very, very interesting time. it was not only typing, organizing events or celebrations or even the sad things to acknowledge people who had been hurt, who had been killed. i did research for his speeches. i even wrote some of them. we were behind the cotton curtain because you cannot get information out to the wire service that you could in any other part of the country. being concise what you supported in sending the information to naacp office in new york city and you did it and the young p

is your favorite children but i will start -- we went to an area called the golden triangle of mississippi which is columbus, west point and starkville which 20 years ago would have been a poor part of a poor state where the industries were things like making toilet seat covers and making low-end blue jeans and now the most modern steel works in the united states is there and it makes helicopters there and advanced engine factories and drone factories and hearing the ways in which people in mississippi had their entire self image changed by being to the place where helicopters were from the steps they've taken in the ways in which east mississippi community college was spending his time training people in the area, black and white, many of them unemployed before this and many of them having very hard luck stories to trade for these very high wage jobs and you had a sense of the american economic readjustment happening for your eyes. >> host: deborah, what the room is the most? >> guest: one sticks out ina my mind clearly. we were in charleston, west virginia in about two dozen working they

chris: there's a terrific candidate in mississippi, mike espy, he's been on the ballot before in mississippi and gotten broad support in the state of mississippi. you have there a special election as you know. on the republican side you have at least two candidates, the incumbent senator and chris mcginn necessary. -- and chris mcdaniels. so we're keeping a close eye on mississippi. and we do think mike espy is a very strong candidate and he's a strong candidate for, you know, everybody in mississippi. just like doug jones was a strong candidate for everybody in alabama. doug jones ran as somebody who was, you know, willing to work with the president. if it helped alabama. but he would oppose the president if it didn't help. alabama. and mike espy and a lot of other candidates are in the same position. reporter: so you're waiting to see who wins the republican primary before you -- chris: it's a special election so -- linda: election day is the primary. chris: right. as i said, we think that mike espy, he's got a strong record from when he was previously representing a part of mississippi. a

so we're keeping a close eye on mississippi. and -- and we do think mike espe is a very strong candidate. and he's a strong candidate for, you know, everybody in mississippi, just like doug jones was a strong candidate for everybody in alabama. i mean, doug jones ran as somebody who was, you know, willing to work with the president if it helped alabama. but he would oppose the president if it didn't help alabama. and mike espe and a lot of other candidates are in the same position. >> so you're waiting to see who wins the republican primary before you -- >> well, it's actually a special -- >> so it's a -- that's right, it's a gang -- so election day is the primary. >> that's right, right. and as i said, we think that mike espe is -- he's got a record, a strong record from when he was previously representing a part of mississippi. and, you know, he's reaching out to everybody in mississippi. i mean, it's -- you know, he said this is not about democrats or republicans. it's about what's good for mississippi. >> all right. janet ho

to everybody in mississippi. i mean, you know, this is not about democrats or republicans. it's about what is good for mississippi. >> all right. >> because of the tough mess that you got, the cycle started out which gave you almost zero chance and i'm wondering how you would size up your chance now. and if i could also ask about two specific races. can you talk about how you see the lay of the land in arizona and in montana. i'm wondering whether the attacks on john kester and the da investigation have had any impact? >> sure. well, if we were holding this breakfast a year ago, certainly january a year ago, i think we would -- we would not have the same degree of optimism that we do now. because as you just said and we were talking about, there's a very difficult political map. but what we've seen since then is this incredible momentum and energy, which has clearly changed people's views of what's going to happen in november 2018. so i'm not going to make any overall predictions, other than to say that we are in

[ men grunting ] come on! >> it's no use, general grant. >> ahh! take a break. take a break! >> the popular opinion in the north is that the plan to take vicksburg has been delayed because of grant's leadership. and when rumors of his drinking begin to surface, members of lincoln's cabinet and the press call for his removal. now, even

and there he is again this is another campaign in mississippi and here's another one in grenada mississippi. many small meetings like this in churches everywhere the church of the mainline for the movement in many ways and so he would give these big speeches that would move masses and the poor people's campaign of 68 he traveled all through the deep south having little meetings like six, s eight, ten meetingsa day in little communities all over and this is how he campaigned. i was from the detroit area, my parents were from the detroit area and we had these tremendous upheavals in the 1960s also from 64 to 68. he said i feel responsible for this because we have raised people's hopes that we are not t delivering on jobs or economic justice. but it was there was a time ofr in the north. this is grosse pointe michigan. he's just been booed down and have thad to shut off a meeting earlier. a group called breakthrough, anti-communist pro- war was so mad about his stand against the vietnam war he got the speech done but then everybody had to leave the. when i was in the movement of these people w

mississippi sees the republican as a threat to slavery and secedes.ng senator davis must decide where his loyalties lie. >> i rise for the purpose of announcing... i rise for the purpose of announcing that the state of mississippi has declared separation from the united states. under these circumstances, my functions terminate here. we but tread in the paths of our fathers when we proclaim our independence, not to injure any section of the country, but from the high and solemn motive of defending and protecting the rights we inherited. ♪ it remains only for me to bid you a final adieu. >> once jefferson davis chooses loyalty to mississippi over the union, he never looks back. he firmly believes that the states have the right to secede and that secession is the only way to preserve slavery, the cornerstone of the southern way of life. this is what separates davis from lincoln. both men believe they are walking in the footsteps of the founding fathers, but they are divided over the fundamental principle of what freedom is and who is entitled to it. roun

this is another campaign in mississippi.any small meetings like this in churches everywhere the church was the main line for the movement in many ways. and so they would give the and the poor people's campaign of 1960 he traveled all through the deep south having little bitty like this. i was from the detroit area. and we have these tremendous upheavals in the 1960s. i feel responsible for this. we are not delivering on jobs. it was the time of terror in the north as well. let me finish. this is ghost point michigan. they have to shut off the meeting early. he got his speech done but then everybody had to leave very threatening. these people have come and attack you. time after time. and then memphis the sanitation workers working full-time jobs at less than the minimum wage. these offloaded vehicles. very heavy labor. march 18 of 1968 and made this great speech. a labor has dignity supporting the sanitation workers and after police riot on march 28 they brought in the national guard. and the workers came out. i am a woman.

confederacy through the blockade of the ports and through the taking of vicksburg and memphis and mississippi river, the confederate leadership realized they needed to move their manufacturing and distribution points deeper into what was called the dark gray interior of the confederacy and at that point they begin to look at what areas would be conducive to producing war material and distributing. now, the confederacy really had two avenues of east-west distribution and that was through the rail lines from chattanooga to memphis and then across the lower south through atlanta and west point, georgia, over into alabama to montgomery and westward into mississippi. now, the problem with this southern line, let's call it, was that is it was not complete. the rail lines came to montgomery but ended and then anything that was transported had to be put on steam ships, brought down to selma about 70 miles by river and then back on to the rails. so that was not ideal but when huntsville fell, when some of the northern areas fell, the northern route through the confederacy was not available so they beg

. >>> marks, mississippi is a small town on the northern end of the mississippi delta.i was the poorest town in the poorest county in the poorest state in america. and in may of that year about 100 people packed up and shipped out of marks, mississippi. they left in a caravan of about 15 covered wagons, pulled by mules, headed for atlanta in may of may of 1968. once they made it they put the whole thing, the people, wagons and mules, everything on to a train which took them to washington d.c. they marched through the streets of the nation's capital, up to the mall, they wanted justice for the poor, they wanted reform, they wanted change for people living in poverty in america and people in their small rural mississippi town. the demonstration that started with a handful of people snowballed into a demonstration on washington. 3,000 people set up camp on the mall for six weeks in the summer of '68 demanding economic justice. this movement was the brainchild of dr. martin luther king jr. planning that car van was one of the last things he did before he was assassinated. h

mississippi is the other 1. you have senator wick -- one. you have senator wicker running for reelection. he will be safe and due to health reasons, senator thad cochran had to resign his seat. the republican governor appointed their agriculture commissioner cindy hyde smith to the seat here about a month ago. now it's a little different system because they will come up on the ballot on election day, november 6th , and it will be basically a jumbled primary where everybody running will be on that ballot. the top two will advance to a runoff two days before thanksgiving. so under your scenario of a 50/50 we could be fighting for the senate majority two days before thanksgiving and i doubt anybody would be too thrilled with that. so what's happening there is you've got chris mcdaniel who is a state senator from mississippi. he ran against thad cochran in 2014 and actually placed ahead of him in the primary, but they have a runoff and so he had to go to the runoff and then cochran was able to beat him in the runoff. it was very, very close. he

south through atlanta and west point georgia over into alabama to montgomery and westward into mississippi. now, the problem with this southern line, let's call it, was that is it was not complete. the rail lines came to montgomery but ended and then anything that was transported had to be put on steam ships brought down to selma about 70 miles by river and then back on to the rails. so that was not ideal but when huntsville fell, when some of the northern areas fell, the northern route through the confederacy was not available so they began to look elsewhere. selma was prime for this. selma has deep river access to the port of mobile. selma has access by river to montgomery and the rail lines to the east, rail lines to the west. it also is a very short distance from the cahaba river valley coal and iron fields so we had an almost inexhaustible supply of coal and iron. we also had woodlands supplying timber for ships. we also had agricultural areas that was essentially part of the bread basket of the confederacy nearby so selma had many positives going for it so it was moved to selma and s
