so the naacp was attempting to overturn that precedent.hey knew they had try to do it in one case so begins in the 1930s. they began to chip away and then work down to -- brown v. board of education, brown is the first name to appear out of the list of plaintiffs. here in kansas the local chapter of the naacp, both of lawyers recruited. and all 13 of those parents -- elementary schools here. so oliver brown was a friend of one of the lawyers, a man named charles bled so, so the lawyers basically recruited those that they knew would be good upstanding citizens that would want to participate. oliver brown's names is listed first, though there will a woman named darlene brown, who would have been listed first, and for some reason oliver brown's name, he was simply one of those 13 parents that was recruited, and nationwide there were actually five cases that were part of the brown decision that included over 200 plaintiffs total. so swrus by a chance of history we refer to it by the brown family when they were one piece of a much larger story.

during the war years, embers of the naacp exploded -- membership of the naacp exploded. the new branches established were in the south, which was a region where white residents were known to be quick to fire, effect and harass naacp members. i think this shows us something about the spirit of black .mericans during this campaign this is a poster advertising the naacp 1944 convention. how did this poster use wartime imagery to get a point across? >> it is pretty clearly saying that the naacp has a responsibility to get rid of jim crowe laws and that jim crow and nazism is linked together. prof. titus: yes, they are clearly linked together. what about the hand? the imagery there? >> it is a struggle and it is a war. it were not just at war with fascism, that at war with jim they might need those violent means to get victory within that war. prof. titus: yes, and victory is literally within their grasp. jim crow was almost within the naacp's power to choke out. it does look like that is actually a white hand on the poster, which i think is interesting. isf. titus: i think t

the naacp fought really hard against this. they lost. oftentimes, i think, don't realize or knowledge when we talk about the black whiteence is many americans including some northerners are also embracing a form of dd. how did this defer from the complained that -- from the campaign that black americans were waging? >> it was almost like a negative freedom. they were trying to fight their freedom from segregation, being able to fight for self-determination, they were able to uphold things like institutionalized racism. ogline: they would say, this is not about democracy. this is about what? >> [indiscernible] they reallyline: did see every victory as part of a conspiracy to destroy the liberties of whites. let's talk more about this. what were they so concerned about? how did they respond when black soldiers came into their communities? how did they see what was at stake in this war? what did they think they were fighting for? war article mentioned the -- the poll tax, including african-american soldiers. they thought if african-american

the naacp fought really, really hard against this but were unsuccessful.all they framed their point in i think a very powerful way by saying it's incredibly interesting that a nation fighting a war against nazi germany is embracing something all about racial blood but they lost. what we oftentimes i think don't realize or acknowledge when we talk about the black experience during world war ii is that many white americans including some northerners also were embracing a form of double v. how did this white version of double v differ from the campaign that black americans were waging? >> it was almost like a negative freedom, like a freedom from something that they thought they were trying to fight for freedom from desegregation that being able to fight for self-determination meant that they were able to determine things to uphold and stuff like segregation and institutionalized racism. >> yeah, so they would say this war isn't about preserving democracy. this war is about preserving what? >> states' rights. >> yeah. so they're linking victory abroad to vict

was the naacp winning any big victories in the courts? >> certainly not with respect to many of them thought the judicial system hoped they would achieve better housing during world war ii or get whatever housing and for many of them they did not. >> there is a housing case that comes before the court in the late 1940s, right? it's not a great victory. it's not something that they're going to put forward as a massive step forward, although it is a half victory, you might say? >> the major court cases, shelly versus cramer in 1948, which is when the supreme court dictated that racial coffinians were no longer constitutional and the earlier court kats in 1940, smith versus alright where they declared the primary was unconstitutional and primaries had to be integrated. >> shelly v cramer is the decision i was mentioning. it is a half victory. as andrew said, the justices rule that restrictive covenants cannot be legally enforced any more. that is unconstitutional to legally enforce a restrictive covenant. that's the state taking public actio

the president and ceo of the naacp cornell williams brooks is with us today.hank you very much for joining us. so the cnn/orc battleground states show trump supporters are more enthusiastic than clinton supporters are. and these are crucial states. why do you think that is? >> well, they may be enthusiastic about mr. trump, and that's certainly -- they're right. but african-americans are very enthusiastic and very committed to the issues that should be driving this election, in terms of police misconduct and criminal justice reform and voter suppression, which is r rampant and raw and widespread, and the state of our economy. those are the issues driving african-americans to the polls. in north carolina, where we have active voter purging going on, where we have reports from the field where people are receiving letters discouraging them from voting, where we have a presidential candidate who is sending in poll monitors to monitor voter -- imagined voter fraud opposed to real voter suppression as practiced by politicians. >> you say donald trump supporters are

, the leadership of the naacp nationally has not worked. completely about bob johnson and president obama, we absolutely should give president-elect trump an opportunity. >> would you like to rebut that? >> i can't rebut it. it is fact and true, give him a chance. i want to point out, donald trump didn't just decline to meet with the naacp but the national black journalists and donald trump is not going to where black people are. donald trump need to talk to broader audiences, many of whom are going to be the 92% of african-americans that did not vote for him. he cannot simply go to his buddy, bob johnson. >> didn't donald trump go to some of the cities that most people said he shouldn't bother, he spent time in detroit and michigan and places where there is a large african-american community in. >> he went to places where there are big black communities and he had white people at those rallies. >> typically, a republican would not go to. >> i do not disagree the man flew his guilded jet and landed in detroit. he did not talk to black detro

the naacp is alleging there is an impact.gation. we don't know if that's true or not. if north carolina is not following the law, that's a problem. on the flip side when you look at it politically. that's an intent by the democratic national committee and the clinton campaign to turn out black votes. they are sagging behind in black votes. whether the allegation is true or not, it's more towards the political play that the clinton campaign needs help getting the black vote. >> richard, come on. the republican party is trying to suppress the vote. trump told people we are going to have poll watchers. jenna: i want to be clear on this case, the republican party isn't the one trying to remove people from the ballot. they are individuals it's an individual that says an advocate in the area says we are trying to get this right. i want viewers to be clear about that. >> you are totally correct. in reference to this particular lawsuit you are correct. but the overall picture with what trump is saying saying they will have poll waive

. >> you filed the naacp, the north carolina naacp filed a lawsuit against north carolina republicanstop to what you say is a coordinated effort to suppress black voters in that state and as you said you were in court, so take us from there, tell us what happened. tell me about this lawsuit and what happened in court. >> well, what we dealt with were three counties in north carolina, cumberland, and moore county, in which efforts were made to personal knowledurge af voters from the list and we had evidence that postcards were sent to the addresses of roughly 7,000 people in those three counties and as a result of the return postcards that were received back by the voter integrity project, they had the county boards of elections to remove those individuals from the voting polls and so we went into court to halt that effort and i think that we are going to succeed. >> so explain -- explain the voter card thing n. north carolina, what happens if you don't return the card, what -- why is that? how were they purged? >> well, the -- the notion was that if the card was send to the voters' ad

what is the position of the naacp, your organization, of jeff sessions as an attorney general? >> we're very, very troubled. when you think about the fact that 30 years ago, as a prosecutor, he described the aclu and naacp as un-american organizations, he described a group of civil rights organizations including the naacp as, quote, forcing civil rights down the throats of americans. he described an african-american subordinate as boy and told him to watch what he said around white folks, as it were. and if we move from his prosecutorial misconduct to his legislative record as a senator, he's received a consistent and bad failing grade from the naacp. so what we see here is an administration in its early days signaling that it is hostile toward or indifferent to the civil rights agenda of the country. so the question is, if he was not good enough to be a federal judge, in attributing the law, how is he good enough to be attorney general, actually enforcing the law. and so if he has an indifferent or hostile attitude toward civil rights, how then can he lead the civil rights div

joining me now is the naacp president and ceo. you wrote that the naacp is willing to work with the trump administration to realize racial justice concerns. do you believe that will actually happen? how do you see that playing out? >> we are, in fact, hopeful. hope has to have an empirical basis. the president-elect's victory speech was a hopeful sign. his appointments will be telling. the presence of steve bannon in the mix is discouraging in terms of his association with the alt right. we're willing to work with the administration. to the extent the president-elect standing with the constitution, with american civil rights agenda, we're willing to stand beside him. to the extent he does not, we will stand against him and oppose any kind of agenda that runs contrary to our values and mission. >> wasn't to get your take on this. on friday michael moore shared his thoughts on the election. here is a piece of that. will get your response. >> you have to accept that millions of people voted for barack obama, some of them once, some o

the last point we have to address is this naacp lawsuit. they sue because there are three critical counties that are purging the rolls and these counties are -- they're disproportionately african-american. those are the voters who are being targeted. barack obama has to go to north carolina to say, don't lose hope -- >> but do you argue -- are you just arguing that this is all voter suppression and that there isn't a lack of enthusiasm for hillary clinton? >> not at all. what i'm saying is it would be ignorant of us to say, this is just about her, not broadening the tent, not asking the policy questions. it's about -- it's about -- it's about ensuring that we address all of the factors. and voter suppression is -- >> all i would say is this. i would like to see us follow the laws. i think if you're supposed to leave polling places open to earn is time, it should be. i think if you're supposed to have these days to early vote, you should be allowed to. >> depends on the laws. >> you shouldn't change them. the problem the clinton campaign is

what's the position of the naacp? what is your view of jeff sessions as an attorney general? >> we're very, very troubled. when we think about the fact that 30 years ago, as a prosecutor, he described the aclu and the naacp as un-american organizations. he described a group of civil rights organizations, including the naacp as, quote, forcing civil rights down the throats of americans. he described an african-american subordinate, as, "boy," and told him to watch what he said around white folks, as it were. and if we move from his prosecutorial conduct to his legislative record as a senator, he's received a consistent and bad failing gray from t ining g naacp. so the question is, if he was not good enough to be a federal judge, interpreting the law, how then is he good enough to be attorney general, actually enforcing the law? so if he has an indifferent or hostile attitudes towards civil rights, how can he lead the civil rights division of the justice department, the nation's leading law enforcement agency, particularly at this moment, we are in the midst of a millennial civ

but not to deter the naacp. >> with scheduling rights for churches and citizens to take people to the polls tuesday morning. they will be there bright and early. >> nationwide the number of african-american voters has increased 12 with 9 million in 2000 to nearly 18,000,000 in 2012. even with that, some political analyst do not expect the numbers that were seen in 2012. great turnout tuesday. we have done our best to educate people on their rights. >> the naacp as well as a publicity part of the challenge has been re-educating voters following the ruling that state lawmakers adopted a while back there was discriminatory in nature but they say they won't be deterred. the the the day, the how the final numbers and for minority voters and they will go from there. >> just two days away.>>> moving on to medical mystery as doctors in washington state are puzzled. eight children have rare neurological illness and no one knows how they got it. it's called acute flaccid my life and effects the spinal cord. it's so weird to see the disease that they see no cases it's not contagious, there's no
