the naacp there worked with the u.s.ttorneys department bringing witnesses forward and we believe that contributed along with our legal advocacy to the doj's report. we have to have a high, low strategy. juan: in terms of those proposals for systemic change, how has the mayor, stephanie rawlings blake handled the situation and what is her attitude toward some of the proposals for systemic reform of yours? there is been substantial criticism of the way she has handled this crisis. >> the naacp, we stand behind policies that make a difference in terms of civil rights for communities. here are the facts. the mayor called for the department of justice to intervene, to look at her police department proactively affirmatively. that is a good thing. that is a commendable thing. and it is the kind of mineral leadership -- mayoral leadership that can bring about systemic fun a mental reform. the mayor prior to freddie gray, i might note, prior to his tragic death, called for changes in the law with respect to the rights of police

the naacp was attempting to overturn that precedent and they knew that they could try to do it in onease, but if they lost, that would be the end of their attempt. really beginning in the 1930's, they began to file cases to chip away at that precedent. the strategy was initially to end segregation and law schools and graduate schools and work down to colleges and down to elementary schools. brown v board of education is the first name to appear out of the list of plaintiffs. here in kansas, the local chapter of the naacp, but the lawyers and local activists recruited her teen parents -- one of them was oliver brown. then there were 12 other mothers. all 13 of those pants had children that attended one of before african-american elementary schools here in topeka. one of them being the munro school where we are at right now. oliver brown was a friendly lawyer that was the -- a friend of the layer -- a friend of the lawyer who is the counsel for the case. they did what they were looking for was a good member of the community and an upstanding member. brown was one of those 13 volunteers.

joining me is sherrilyn ifill, director of the naacp legal defense and education fund. you have said we are in the throes of a national crisis. define the crisis. sherrilyn: i think the crisis is one of confidence. all over this country, there are people, young people of all races, who have lost confidence in the justice system and the rule of law.

supreme court held that the naacp didn't have to turn over its membership list to the government. people aren't going to join the naacp if they know that the fact of their membership is going to be turned over to the government. it's going to create a chilling effect. and what we're doing in this case is really the digital version of that. because who you talk to on the phone, how long you talk to them how often you talk to them those are your associations. >> reporter: one group that's joined the lawsuit has actually dealt with government spying first-hand. zakra balou is the executive director of the office of the council of muslim community. >> the muslim community had experienced in smaller settings. >> in 2004, the fbi which works closely with the nsa began spying on muslims in the barometric pressure passing that bay area, passing that information around balou learned about that request. >> that is a stack of documents. >> this is a portion of it, what i could print with ordinary paper. i go to the mosque multiple times a week so think at any given day or any given event the

let me show you the viewers and you, mark what the naacp writes. "we were disturbed by your use of language describing these frustrated young citizens as a lynch mob. you decided to defend those six officers by all but attacking d.a. marilyn mosby. young african-american mother of two. it bothers us greatly to have the integrity of these strong african-american female leaders questioned by someone who is pushing a personal agenda in the face of clear injustice." this is the cop representative they say is doing that. "regardless of the possible irreparable harm it may have on our city." so the cop rep should not fight back because the mayor and the d.a. are african-american females. >> well megyn, when you look at this mosby made a statement that this is our time when she indicted those six officers. she drew a line in the sand and she drew a wedge between the police the city government and her office that you're never going to repair. they're not going to be able to go back on this and the police are going to simply do what the police do. they're g

charlie: what is the naacp doing? sherrilyn: from the beginning we have been on the ground trying to take a 360 on the issues. one of the most important issues is how do you touch as many police departments as possible and we have been advocating for the department of justice to use the nearly $1 billion that they deployed to police departments around the country to engage in the kind of training we were talking about. to require body worn cameras. to train on the escalating tension. -- to train on de-escalating tension. to increase diversity in police departments because diversity matters as well. and then in the individual communities, providing technical support on the ground, reviewing the grand jury process, and trying to stay on the scene to ensure that the legal system is operating the way it is supposed to. charlie: what can you tell us about the case of mr. gray? sherrilyn: sadly, i can tell you very little. we have not been able to get enough information. we know what we saw in the video of him being taken t

in 1951, the naacp filed a case on behalf of parents with children enrolled in topeka's public schools for african-americans. this led to the landmark u.s. supreme court decision in brown versus board of education, which ruled that segregated public schools were unconstitutional. hosted by our cox comedic haitian's cable partners, c-span city tour staff recently visited many sites showcasing the city's history. learn more about topeka all weekend, here on american history tv. >> in 1854, all eyes were on kansas. congress had passed a law creating a kansas-nebraska territory, opening up areas of the united states that had been set aside as non-slavery, that it was possible for slavery to grow and develop in kansas. as a consequence, that set in motion a tremendous competition between those folks who wanted to expand slavery and those folks who wanted to put it on a course of ultimate distinction. -- extinction. and as a result everybody was , concerned about kansas. if you were for slavery, you wanted to make sure that kansas would become like missouri, a slave state. if you were oppose

american community and that leads up to the decision to use education as the legal issue whereby the naacp would end all segregate -- segregation laws. then all of the other dominoes of segregation institutions would fall. they did not fall easily pair one of the most powerful portions of the exhibit was the hall of courage, news footage gathered from around the country, in opposition from the decision and the movement and that took place all over the nation, including where there were riots. there were not any major disruptions here in topeka and kansas but there was on a national level extremely costly to the united states. to imagine what it must be like to he a 16-year-old boy or girl or be -- and be confronted by the mob is what the hall of courage attempted to create. it is probably one of the most powerful parts here. one of the things we are here to do is help engage in dialogue about these kinds of issues. they are ongoing and continuous in our society and there are new groups constantly struggling for better and equal access to civil rights. the mission to preserve our country's'

the naacp have descended into irrelevancy.re once a proud organization have capitulated and become the voter registration and get out the vote drive for the democrat national committee. so it's pretty obvious where they are coming from and it's unfortunate that since 1954 that's probably the last time they had any impact on any social policy brown v. board of education. i won't even give them the voting rights act of '65, that was dr. martin luther king. they are irrelevant right now. >> seems clear these cops don't trust their leadership they don't trust the d.a. the mayor, and perhaps it goes above that. >> and with good reason. put yourself in the position of a baltimore police officer. you're supposed to go out and patrol the country's seventh most dangerous city you put your life on the line every single day to protect the community against drug dealers and gangs and violent criminals, and when something goes wrong, the first reaction of your officials is to throw you under the bus. people say the police are to blame, mur
