but also small southern towns to form a branch of the naacp.nd so, what these stories told me was more about what local people, with ordinary everyday people were concerned about on a day-to-day basis. it was good to get voting rights, very important, crucial to have citizenship recognized, but what would it mean if you could vote but you couldn't walk home from church without being abducted and assaulted and your assailant walked free? so some of this is but ordinary local people needed to accomplish daily and on a day-to-day basis, so i think that sparked civil rights campaigns and did so in the form of a catalyst working to bring people together to form local naacp chapters and campaigns for civil rights to respond this may be a bit of an unfair question to ask about a work of history, but as you went through this work, thinking about the world we live in today, do you find any residents when you study and what you wrote about for the world we are living and now? >> short. i think that in order to understand the way that black women are port

a few days later the montgomerie naacp called to say they were sitting there very best investigator. her name was rosa parks. it was 11 years before the montgomery bus boycott. and 11 years later this homegrown activists would be a note as the montgomerie funding its president dr. martin the king junior to international prominence and launching a movement that would ultimately change the world. rosa parks carried her story back to montgomery where she and sees those militant activists organized national and international protest for equal justice for mrs. recy taylor. they call it the strongest campaign for equal justice to be seen in a decade. but when the coalition first took root, that would later become the montgomery improvement association, dr. king was still in high school. in 1955 the montgomery bus boycott was in many ways the last act of a decade-long struggle to protect african-american women like recy taylor from sexualized violence and rape. in fact, the kidnapping and rape of recy taylor was not unusual in the segregated south. from slavery to the better part of the 20t

arnold townsend, representing san francisco naacp today. let me be cautious because if i talk too much and too fast about mr. king, i will get emotional. there is an overwhelming amount of things that we could say, but let me just -- one story i remember him telling me -- i do not know if you all know it or not, but there was a time when people look like the three of us were not even welcome in the supervisors' chambers until mr. king and some other longshoreman kick in some doors, and i mean that literally. the supervisor chamber doors, because of those kinds of policies. he is a hero, a mentor, a father figure for so many of us. for thousands. he was walking home one night about 11:00, and i was with a friend of mine, and he was walking down the street towards his home, and she asked about him walking down the street by himself, and i said that nobody would bother him. that would be suicide in this community. right now, we are running over to turk street because a project that mr. king spearheaded an may happen, where we took money that t

the naacp, the new director really has made this an important issue, and that is what is going to take. we could run down the list of all the great things there are to do, but we have to push back on this kind of hysteria on crime, and it takes leadership to do it -- it takes individuals, all of us, to do it as well, to put pressure on leaders, but it takes real leadership to do that. that is how i would put it together all in one place. >> in the vein of what is hopeful, and there is a reentry coordinating council in san francisco and also one in alameda county. what has been helpful to me is i think that overwhelmingly, we have this being tough on crime problem as opposed to being smart on crime, but i think that even in places where you would not expect it, people are starting to make the connection. for example, a lieutenant from the sheriff's department in alameda county is one of the most consistent and supported participants in the coordinating council for reentry in alameda county. i would say it is an unlikely ally, and i'm sure that we are lucky in his leadership and support.

dubois called him a white man and word because then he was they found a precursor to the naacp was very vocal about the need for blacks and whites to work together to end the strife that was pulling the country apart. >> host: there were some parallels were there any women that were accused? >> guest: not that i found parks comes later issue was accused of acting way to because she did not give up percy's but the struggle is more black men going against each other than women. there was a comment that she was acting white but as we will talk about black men who were very prominent and political accusing of acting white. >> host: jesse jackson and president obama? the reverend jesse jackson sr. i think was very put off by barack obama's candidacy. the black candidates that had run felt very strongly i am for black identity politics. the brilliance of what senator obama had done was that he show the country that i am a young very articulate and intelligent man who happens too also be black. but it was interesting he said he acts as if he is why it. why is that he went to columbia, harvard

because, again, duboise then had been a founder of the niagara movement which was a precursor to the naacp, had gone and been very, very vocal about the needs for blacks and whites to work together to end the racial strife that was really pulling the country apart. >> host: now, there's some parallel things that are happening with these men who are coming along. were there any women who were accused of acting white? >> guest: not that i found, interestingly enough. >> host: rosa parks? >> well, she comes later and, again, she was accused of acting white because she elected not to give up her seat. but the main struggles that you see throughout history it was more black men going against each other than it was women. parks is a notable exception. there was a comment, of course, she was acting white because she wouldn't give up her seat, but you still find in the 21st century black men who are prominent and political accusing the other of acting white. >> host: how about jesse jackson and president obama? >> guest: unfortunately, that's what i was getting to. the reverend jesse jackson sr. w

i am originally from miami, florida, and i grew up in the naacp, shout outs to the naacp.plause] and it's really there that i developed the audacity to believe that young people are not the young leaders of tomorrow, but in fact we have the responsibility to leave today and not to wait for what i call the annoying team for the appointing, to step up there and lead now, particularly when we think about some of the most pressing issues that we face. for me, i am working primarily on what i think it's a civil rights issue of our times and that is a quality education for every child in this country. and so i want to say to you is very few things that i'm sure we'll have an opportunity to talk a little bit more, but what i want to leave it to you is to stay connected with each other as jamal just mentioned, as i look at the folks on this podium, i could literally go down the lines talking about relationships and how we've been connected either directly or indirectly. i want to give a little shout out though to those people in the audience. state representative or shot taylor, s

the naacp tried to condemn the tea party as racist. i spoke at seven or eight events and i stand for what the tea party believes in, constitutional government, limited government. things that make the country great. >> now, are you going to -- they said you are welcome t join them. are you going to join? >> yeah. absolutely. i think it is so important that we can have different perspectives and voices in the congressional black caucus. we can no longer have the voice of failing social welfare policies that is predominant. we cannot have voices that promote victimization and dependancy. i think it important we bring the con -- the conservative values into the black caucus. the black community is concerned at its core and i think on sundays that's the most conservative people in america. believing in accountability and some of the other corner stone aspects of the conservativism. >> the leaders in the congressional black caucus are not conservative. and the thing that -- you know, we always point out on "red eye" if you are black and con

the other is that obama really went out of his way with the work with the naacp, with his appearancest colleges, with his daily show appearance. he really worked at bringing his base out at the end. and it worked. >> bill: is he still a formidable force? >> very. now, of course, his base is limited. you have only 10% of the vote was black. 8% was latino. only 11% was people under the age of 30. 23% was people over 65. >> bill: 2012 it's going to be up. >> next time it could swell. he was able to produce his base at the end. this would have been 100 seats and the senate if he hadn't done that in the last week. >> bill: final question, he lost three of the four points that he got right away. why did he loose -- lose it. >> people aren't focused on the politics. come out of the hole to vote and go back in. they don't answer the polls in the middle of the week or the middle of the year. >> bill: okay, so his base that rallied him wasn't available for the updated gallup poll? >> exactly. >> bill: dick morris, everybody. there he is sarah palin says the government sudden stay out of the bad

bru-ha-ha he received common-sense brought up from their secretary of agriculture tom vilsack naacp she received the whitehouse phone call asking for resignation in. she must have been baffled about what was happening and i don't blame her. but it we can blame the media. this book argues that the media as we have right now does not work really well and a productive american democracy. i think shirley sherrod would agree. this is on political media which just used to be the news now includes the entertainment media because of the size and scope of the media outlets this and the development has been astronomical. the technological changes like satellite and internet technology have not only sped everything up increase the opportunities to get the message across and and surveying exponentially and also the opportunity to make money so there are a lot of the facts of the first is there is a lot of time and space. now you have 24 hour networks and that is a long time. there is the incident number of internet sites and with all of this comes consequences have 24-hour news networks and at this

when i was in high school and growing up in the naacp, many of my mentors were women.got elected and running for office, even today, my mentors are men. yes, because they thought that was a good way to get in, but for the most part it's because they were the ones much more approachable and were open to mentorship. when i first got elected, the women were not there for me, and i expected that they would be like, sister, i'm so glad you're here, let me show you the ropes. that just didn't happen. rather than being angry about that, i realized the mistake i made was i didn't ask for mentorship or take it upon myself to develop those relationships. i was not looking for a mama, but a mentor. i was looking for someone to help develop me as we go along together because i was still their colleague. what i say to you finally is it is absolutely critical to seek out the relationships with people regardless of their age. most of the people i work with whether it's the book project and that team, no apologies, life loving policies and dajal is quoted on the ideas crof, but it's a

i think there are clearly elements of the radical part of the tea party as we saw in recent naacp report, delineating some of the origins of the tea party but for the most part the leadership of the tea party has tried to push those aside. but some of the anger and that we see around race, i think, we see less of in the african-american side. now, the place where there is race baiting is on the latino side. we saw sharron angle use an antilatino ad as an attack on harry reid. we've seen several instances in florida of the same thing. so, i am surprised, actually, that the political elements of race has shifted now toward attacks on hispanic americans. >> larry: i'm going to go to break. when we come back. we got so many breaks. when we come back, we'll get each of the panelists to give us a quick prediction and i want each to tell us who will be the republican nominee to oppose the incumbent nominee, mr. obama, in two years. we don't go lower than 130. big deal, persuade him. is it wise to allow a perishable item to spoil? he asked, why leave a room empty? the additional revenue easily c

sharpton and asked him to pull together a coalition of his organization, national action network, the naacpue and other organizations, and to do exactly what the antidefamation league would do and that is to go to clearchannel and to other stations and networks and have a conversation about the decency or lack of decency on the part of limbaugh and then to officially take this to the fcc and see where it lands. because one has to ask themselves, do you really want to subject your audience to this throwback era of when racism ran rampant and you didn't even hear it on radio in those days like you're hearing it today. >> dr. laura, don imus, they played a price professionally. do you think limbaugh is too big to fail? >> no. the answer -- the single answer to that is, absolutely not. if he's too big to fail, then our society has failed, ed, because we've grown past that. we really don't want to hear it. and those people who do want to hear that type of thing, really are dinosaurs. >> so there is a movement. >> yes. >> there is a pushback coming from minority groups against limbaugh's racist c

hannity went on for days about reverse racism when the naacp called the tea party out. glenn beck, of course, will never live this one down. >> this president, i think, has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep-seeded hatred for white people or the white culture. i don't know what it is. this guy is, i believe, a racist. >> limbaugh, hannity and beck are the three biggest names in conservative talk radio in it country. their brand of racist hate is really what sells on talk radio. it's not entertaining. conservative radio ownership, never seems to hold these talkers accountable, do they? they just throw it out there. and it is amazing what it sounds like when you bite them all together. is there is an agenda? yeah, it's black and white. they have something against black people. they have something against this president. and they have something against the democratic party for its all-encompassing platform and its position. the number to dial is 1-877-ed-msnbc. get your cell phones out, i want to know what you think. tonight's text survey

started serving in 1956 when thurgood marshall was still arguing civil rights cases on the behalf of the naacp, and he later served as solicitor general, so he had tremendous respect for his skills as a lawyer. but as he explained to steve and he said this with great concern about how it might be perceived by the public, he was disappointed with justice marshall's performance once he joined the court. he had a sense that justice marshall had sort of given up in the '70s and '80s as their warren court majority shrank and he felt as if justice marshall wasn't doing his share of the heavy lifting to preserve the gains of the warn court. now, that's his perception. i'm just telling you what he believed. he was extraordinarily reluctant to talk about this publicly. he believed that justice marshall had never gotten his due for his tremendous achievements as a lawyer and judge, and he felt part of it was racism, and he didn't want to say anything that

ball and get upset and get emotional, and happily out of a sad and tragic event is got back to the naacp and the individuals that were mounting the legal case is to break jim crow in the south and to really try to take this and break the cycle and in the opinion it was cited -- >> host: brown v. board of education. >> guest: it was cited in brown v. board of it to some of the reasons the justices found the entire separate but equal accommodations were so unfair is the doll test because i want to be viewed positively or they viewed a brown or black as negative and quite as positive and again, that is where i'm going with the concept and the conversation of we must move away from colors of people and skin color as positive and power and negative. >> host: how do you do that when the society rewards if you or what you're right if you're black get back? how we do that against the dominant society that has been dominant for 300 years most of the time we were in slavery? >> guest: the thing i would say to that is we have a black president which proves through the application and hard work you
