mississippi was a hostile kind of community and we felt like if we could break, mississippi then we we would have a model to go into the other areas and try to do that, but our concern was for democracy. to work and justice people have the right to vote people could gain control of them that their lives we even had a a white priest whose daughter was miss mississippi got run out of the state of mississippi because he had some of the whites come to his house because he wanted to talk to them about what they were doing and whether or not he, you know could could help introduced into the community or whatever it is, and they had a a parade around this house and you know burn crosses and all that kind of stuff and and threatening to the point where he had to leave, mississippi. so those are the kinds of obstacles that you ran into and then you had hostile sheriffs and police and and you had the the clan pretty active doing that period of time and they were serious about committing mayhem and violence and so we had to survive that now understand that. i was probably not the youngest but i w

so really the mississippi river and her tributaries between 1816 and 1848. 1,433. people died a born steamboat fires and explosions. so if you live in new orleans, you're kind of just a nerd to this level of violence say chaos and you just dismiss it as an accident. no big deal. but there's one entity that sees this nine boat fire and thinks maybe there's something suspicious going on. maybe it's an act of sabotage and this is intentional and that's the cincinnati daily press when they report on the fire. they say it's the work of a quote unquote negro negro incendiary. now they don't expand on that. so we're not 100% clear. what clear what they mean is that an african-american? is that an abolitionist republican? is it just somebody who has some dark nefarious intentions? that we don't know what we do know, is that the cincinnati daily press is saying that this new orleans fire is in fact deliberate arson and intention intentional, but it's sabotage. okay, now we're going to fast forward two years. and we're gonna get to 1863. right one of the most costly boat bur

he's not, you know, senate or eastman out of mississippi. he's some other that johnson that depends on delivered votes if he's going to be reelected anybody else for that matter, and so -- geography i think shifts the dynamic of very dramatically. and i think this was recommended at the time that you move to the north, and now your basic tactic of exposing something that is morally evil -- but you're finding it there the place in the north that formally provided you some kind of political support. >> uh-huh. >> and so you get people in the streets throwing bricks and so forth not that they haven't been racist -- and done things threek like that before they have in the 1940s, that's -- a attack and people try to move into white neighborhoods, for example. but now there's no counterforce that's challenging that. to any great extent -- and so the dynamic is very different. now one would have to, you know, it would take some explanation to try to tease that out but that is basically the -- the entity of questions. that you know, why it was falte

the mississippi has been full of large quantities of floating ice which at times it's impassable. but still, they keep crossing, and i am in hopes we will get over in one or two weeks. we will start in the morning again on our journey west. the roads are all in a very bad order, as the ground was frozen very deep and there has been for the last ten days a general thaw, not even any frost, together with a good deal of wet which will probably make the roads almost impassable. but we must necessarily calculate on suffering a great deal from hardship and exposure before we yet reach our homes in the far west. we look to the almighty for strength and protection to enable us to reach the place of destination as yet we are hardly halfway and to look forward on the determination of our journey and our toils, we can yet hope for the best. it's our principal chief, john ross, left last after he had seen all of the other cherokees on their way west. he traveled by steam boat with a small group of cherokees in order to take those who had been too ill to leave with the regular detachments. and

the past is the past and mississippi is striving for change.t's ♪ ♪ host: that is from the new hbo documentary. why did you include her story in the program? guest: sharon jones had moved to columbus, mississippi fairly recently so her story was one of growing into the experience, coming from the east coast and going to the deep south as a black woman, taking on a responsibility and authority in the justice she had -- job that she had. her story was one of how she both recognized the differences of being in the deep south and adjusted to the change -- the existed but changing attitudes of people in the south and how she could look back on mississippi and also try to crush through the stereotypes that people in mississippi must be racist. two found out there was indeed a growing inspect for her in her position in the rural south, the deep south. host: you both have a long history in journalism and politics. give our audience as sarah -- sense of your background, mr. fallows, and turned to deborah. guest: i have been in journalism almost all my l

could mississippi use the help? >> there is no doubt mississippi can use our fair share. the biden administration is calling it an infrastructure plan. it looks like a $2 trillion tax hike to me. that will lead to significant challenges in our economy, a slowing gdp. it will lead to americans losing significant numbers of jobs. infrastructure, jake, is an area where republicans and democrats ought to be able to come together and do something good for the country. as you mention, this plan spends $110 billion on roads and bridges and spends more than that on the combination of amtrak and public transit. what's even worse, it spends $100 billion on clean water, which mississippi can certainly use. it spends more on subsidizing electric vehicles. $155 billion to subsidize electric vehicles. that is a political statement. it's not a statement on trying to improve our infrastructure in america. so it looks more like the green new deal than an infrastructure plan. but if the biden administration will do what the president said he wants to do, which is work with republicans, i b

her scholarship has explored jim crow segregationthere in mississippi . how did the wartime expansion of the training center and can shelby, we're talking earlier to our audiences about 100 miles for us here in new orleans. out of the wartime expansion of the training center in camp shelby impact the deep southtown like hattiesburg ? >> there's a lot to say there and i think this is endlessly fascinating i think because this struggle about fighting this war for democracy and this issue of the jim crow south but not only that, other issue here is this total war. world war ii is the last time the united states was engaged in what we might think of as being in a total war and that means just everything down, everything secondary, everything is aside and everybody's involved . little kids picking up bottles and fighting on the front lines everyone does whatever it takes. the one exception to that total war where we don't actually say okay, let's throw all this aside for now so we can fight the nazis is jim crow itself. so what happens in hattiesburg, hattiesb

i think that's happening in mississippi.in the white community. for example, my wife and i lived in fair hope, alabama, in mobile barracks an affluent, highly educated retirement community. there the senior citizens, of which i'm one, queued up quickly at the local hospital and have a high degree of vaccination. another hopeful sign is that governor kay ivy has been a good role model about masking, distancing, and vaccination. that's very unusual for an alabama governor to take that kind of progressive step. so i expect to see some progress. however, this southern egotistical defiance that you saw among those rather charming young men in mississippi and an older mississippian as well saying, no, i'm just not going to do it, that is that core attitude that i think probably affects 30% to 40% of the republican men in those deep south states at a minimum. >> wow. howell raines, thank you for joining us on this sunday. i appreciate it. great to talk to you. we'll be right back with a look at the week ahead, including closing arg

about 20 miles inside of the mississippi. they did not accomplish quite half of their journey at the time. they had considerable sickness. about 27 of their number, lay buried between that place and the one where they convinced their journey. during this time george hicks, one of the conductors. sent the following letter, to the headquarters in north carolina. johnson county illinois, 1839. my dear friend and brother. we left the cherokee nation east, the land of our negativity, on the first day of last november. picked up the line of our march for the far west. and to the mercy of an all-white providence, who is every ever ready to assist the oppressed. whose ears are ever open to their cries, we have arrived thus far on a journey to the west. the following winter, has been very cold. and we have necessarily suffered a great deal from exposure, from cold and fatigue. are people, a great many of them were very poor, and very destitute of clothing and of the means of red nearing themselves comfortable. we've done all in our po

service well we are growing up in mississippi. but that could be because we were so young, it could've been he was so busy with his own business, the jobs of raising a family. but he really didn't talk very much about the war itself. however, there was always war memorabilia at the house. there was a sword that he had gotten when he was in japan for the occupation, that hung in our house. he had memorabilia from the philippines, baskets, he kept the personal items, the personal effects, so we always knew that was part of his background. and we probably didn't really address it until we were older, young adults, as a matter of fact, i recently came across a letter that my dad had written me back in 1970, when my brother was also serving in vietnam at the time, and he did make reference to the comparison between my brother's years, or experiences, in vietnam, versus his experience in the south pacific during world war ii. so, he really didn't start talking about it until we were all young adults, and then he started talking more abo

first, it comes down to trust. 40% of mississippi is black, 40% of the black community here in mississippi has received their vaccine. that is a significant portion that is not yet, of course, there has been a lot of reporting done on the history of the hesitancy of vaccinations in the black community. and then, as all things do, it comes down to politics. conservatives, according to a recent poll out of this week, 45% of conservatives say they do not plan on getting a coronavirus vaccine. that matters in a state, like mississippi, where donald trump won with almost 60% of the vote back in 2020. it then comes down to rural access. here in mississippi, it is a very rural state. 54% of residents in the state say they live in a rural area. that matters, especially with the -- vaccine, like johnson & johnson, but did not either complicated reintegration system. so what's being done with all? this well, this doctor is to state health officer in mississippi. he told me they are really trying to get the vaccine to the people that need it most, instead of hosting maybe those larger drive-in events

this is the final sale called the new england/mississippi land company. they were all scoundrels but well-respected scoundrels. the georgia legislature, we learn in a wonderful book by peter mcgrew was almost to a man bribed by these guys, to agree to the terms of sale. the only legislator who wasn't bribed was absent. he was homesick. so he didn't show up to get his check. he wasn't bribed but the rest of them apparently were, according to peter mcgraw's book. charles hudson also has a wonderful book in the yazu claims in the fletcher versus peck decision. they were ousted by the good voters of the georgia in the succeeding election. new gang came in. first official act was to tear from the statute book the act that authorized the sale of georgia's -- much of georgia's western domain. this is my favorite story. may or may not be true, but peter mcgraw relates it, and others do, too, that they took the capital as milledgeville and they took a sheet of paper to the square in milledgeville and they dragged out of retirement this old revolutionary war vetera

mississippi there was a similar bill signed into law. an anti riot bill was introduced in nebraska but not passed yet. texas still has a bill under consideration and so does iowa. governor, would you sign that bell? >> absolutely. in the middle of the civil unrest last year, i brought legislators from both parties to my office in the senate and the house. we sat down and three days we hammered out the more perfect union that passed the house and senate. i signed it in one day. it was supported by law enforcement and civil rights organizations. you can come together and you can do the right thing. it just enhances training, it limits choke holds and it's a punishment of bad actors. we're doing black to blue that does a lot of the things that governor desantis just talked about. we do not fund cities that defund the police. if you're going to peacefully protest, absolutely. you have the right to do that. if you riot, block highways and roads, you're going to pay a price for that. we're increasing the penalties for that. we won't stand for

mississippi has a significant black population in the state. 40% of blacks right now in mississippi havenly have the appointments to do so. what is the state doing about all this? they're trying to get the vaccine to the people instead of vice versa. they're using churches, doctors' offices, anywhere close to where people live to get this vaccine. i want to introduce you to one woman. her name is joyce hart. she was on her way to church sunday. she's been vaccinated and she has a word for folks who have not. >> my message is, shame on you. you need to save your life and the life of your community. we have a lot of folks even here in mississippi getting infected as of today and not wearing masks. all of our young people all over the state are getting together in social places and restaurants and shame on them. that's how i feel. these need to be home, have on a mask and they need not think it's free to spread a virus to someone else. that's how i feel. >> the state health department says they're in touch with the white house. one option could be preloaded syringes like they do with the fl

in mississippi i was proud of the fact that last year we had peaceful protesters but not one event in which there was a rider the reason is in our state we back the blue. we support the police. last friday i was in mississippi dedicating a brand-new police station that has a large training facility. we are not trying to defund the police, we are investing in the police because we know we are indebted to them for keeping the community safe. laura: how do we recruit young men and women to go into law enforcement if they know someone will come up to diminish from their face, spit at them which i think is an assault, call them every name in the book, come a millimeter away from the back of the head and they could become heroes in this society today. how do you recruit people? >> your question is the right question because if you look at cities across america police officers are retiring and quitting and cities are going to be less safe. these are men and women who do something few of us do, they put their life on the line to protect you. they need to be supported, criticized or condemned,

yazoo lands were out in mississippi. and the massive quantity sold by a georgia legislature to a group of new englanders. this is the final sale called the england, mississippi land company. and they were all scoundrels but well respected scoundrels and the georgia legislature we learn. a wonderful book by peter mcgraw called yazoo was almost to a man bribed by these guys to agree to the terms of sale. the only legislator who wasn't bribed was absent. he was home six so he didn't show up to get his check and so he wasn't bribed but the rest of them apparently were according to peter mcgraw's book charles hobson, by the way also has another wonderful book about the yazoo claims and the pleasure versus pec decision that came out of them. well this this legislature having sold off much of george's western patrimony was ousted by the good voters of georgia and the succeeding election new gang came in first official act was to tear from the statute book the act that had authorized the sale of george's much of george's western

that matters in a state here like mississippi because almost 60% of the people in mississippi voted ford trump in 2020. it also comes down to trust. and as so many things do, it comes down to trust and with a significant black population here in the state, 40% of the population is black in mississippi. only 40% of that 40% has actually gotten a coronavirus vaccine. there's a significant portion of this state that has yet to go. what are they doing about it? i talk to dr. thomas dobbs, the state health officer here in mississippi. they're trying to get people where the vaccine is. they're trying to get to the schools, the churches, the community health centers and trying to make that happen for folks and also happens to be just one on one conversations that sometimes do the trick. here's what dr. dobbs had to say. >> so different people need different messages, and we're trying to tailor those messages to the subgroups of people that have those questions. and as much as we can, we want to make sure that people can ask the questions they need to ask to get the right information to make th

i want to bring in the mayor of jackson, mississippi. good to see you again, mr. mayor. that big winter storm in february. you and i spoke then. many people have lost power, and even water. and is it still the case that there are a lot of people without good clean drinking water? >> well, first and foremost it's a pleasure to speak with you again, fredricka. and the state of affairs presently is that water has been restored to our residents. and the boil water notice has been lifted. but i would still qualify us as having -- or still remaining in a crisis because it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when we will suffer such catastrophic events again if we don't have the resources to address our aging and failing infrastructure. >> how do you see this infrastructure plan potentially coming to the rescue to address some of those things you just mentioned? >> well, while i don't know all of the details surrounding the plan, i am optimistic concerning the plan. the need to address our aging infrastructure across the country is long overdue, as we were -- as i was listen

they're really going to be much better off west of the mississippi. and they're going to be just fine. and they are being compensated. so that you humanitarian argument carried over in the sense of a century of policies following this that basically said, the united states knew what was best for american indians. so this section of the americans [inaudible] is really about words and texas and their meanings. it's -- it's startling, actually, to read the act, which visitors can do. because it's not a very long, a few hundred words, it never directly references any particular indian tribe. it doesn't even reference of the south in a particular way. it's a very -- it almost is like a real estate pitch that, you know, let's come to a deal, if you want, exchange lands. and it does not directly suggest that if american indians choose not to accept lands in the west, that they can stay and everything will be fine. so it's really extraordinary misleading. it's also revealing in that it does stay pretty clearly that the space in the south would grow in economi

. >> reporter: at covid-19 vaccination sites in mississippi, they're seeing something new. friday, the state had more than 74,000 open slots in its scheduling website through the middle of may. this is the drive-up lane of a mass vaccination site in jackson. they say they can handle up to 1,200 appointments a day. so far they've got about 275 scheduled. but they admit some people just don't show. it's not that everyone 16 and older has got the shot. far from it. 30% of mississippians have had their first vaccine dose. the national average is closer to 40%. it's pretty quiet. >> yes. i mean, today is quiet. but it hasn't been like that all the time. >> reporter: so what's going on? experts worry the drop-off suggests a lot of people don't want the vaccine and fear what's happening here could jeopardize reaching herd community immunity, which doctors say wouldn't be achieved until at least 70% of the population is vacc vaccinated. besides mississippi, other states significantly lacking when it comes to percent of adult population fully vaccinated include alabama, georgia, and

that's a problem here in mississippi where it's a very deeply red state.al trust of vaccine hesitancy as you were mentioning. people do not trust the vaccine, some people, that was created in less than a year. that is a problem when you're trying to get the entire state to a herd immunity level. i spoke to some people heading into church this morning about the people in their lives who may be vaccine hesitant. >> it's a personal choice, it's a personal choice. >> for the most part, no. it's -- i think they're being affected by a lot of political rhetoric and all these conspiracy theories. >> i think they're probably listening to the wrong voices. i think it's important to do your own research and to make your own decision, but to look at the facts. >> my message is shame on you. you need to save your life and save the life of your community. >> reporter: now, to be clear, those people i talked to all said they were vaccinated, that's why they were going into church in the first place in person. but they all said they all knew people in their lives that wer

water a d, we know about the jackson, mississippi, issue, roads a d plus. how badly does the country and mississippi in particular need a massive infrastructure investment? >> chuck, thanks for having me on. let me take a minute, first of all. your panel will probably be talking about the attack on the capitol. i just want to say our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of our capitol policeman, billy evans. he gave his life for our country. i think i would be remiss in not mentioning that. >> we're definitely going to honor him later, but i'm glad you said that. thank you. >> listen, i'm all for working with the administration on an infrastructure bill, and yes, we need it in mississippi and i voted for it as a state legislator and member of the house opinion proep asians committee. i think i can work with pete buttigieg. i spoke to him the day he was nominated. we've been trading phone messages for the last three our four days in an effort to talk about this bill. i think pete and i could come up with an infrastructure bill. what the president

and arkansas right on the other side of the mississippi river here and what would happen is if that pipeline were to burst if it were to rupture it would seem deep into the ground affecting having devastating consequences on the drinking water of millions of people and having devastating consequences on the local environment here so this is a major concern not only for environmental activists but also for social and civil rights activists here in the region now what we have learned this week is that the project. self has stalled it's been put on hold due to the mounting pressure from activists due to the mounting pressure from politicians who are who are now called even not even members of congress who have joined in this in this call on us president joe biden to step in and hold construction so while litigation may not necessarily have been put on hold this big case of the buy it connection pipeline remains a focal point in this nationwide movement against the construction of this pipeline and other pipelines like it across the united states. thank you very much for bringing us the

we're talking about rural access because mississippi is sometimes hard to get to your local pharmacyt's hard to get to your school or church that may be having a vaccine clinic especially if you have transportation issues it all comes down to politics as so much does these days. this is a very conservative state. and according to a recent poll but by quinnipiac, 35% of americans say they're not getting a covid vaccine. that's going to show up here in the numbers mississippi and it all comes down to the general trust of the vaccine many people here do not trust the vaccine that was created less than a year ago that's simply a fact and part of the issue. what is being done here to try to fix that problem? and to try to get people to herd immunity here in mississippi is to simply talk to people one-on-one, having these conversations. answering these questions. trying to make them less and less vaccine hesitant. they certainly have the supply they just need the demand. >> gary, thanks. >>> let's turn now to the global fight against covid-19, the worldwide death toll has reached 3 million
