so the lowry case is a clear case in the naacp of black dehumanization. however was interesting to see how the lack press at the time depicted the case. several publications focus in on the resistance that lowry offered the lynch mob. they focus in on how lowry refused to beg for his life. his courage, his bravery in the face of terror. the naacp chose to tell a story of lack victimization because they made calculations that would help their efforts to secure an anti-lynching bill in congress. the more they honed in on how lack people were powerless, help a lot of people were victims of lynch mobs the more support they anticipated that they would receive in congress. the black press had different goals. they are not trying to convince congress to pass an anti-lynching law exclusively. they are also writing to a black public who wants to understand this case in a more nuanced way. in particular they want to understand who the victim was in life. they want to understand what did he do in response. those are the details that black publications they made the

luckily, that naacp started. i used to say to the few blocks -- a few blacks that i spoke to if you are going to church and -- if you are not going to church and preach to the choir anymore, there wouldn't be anybody left. some folks took that to heart. the started attacking the black clergy. but that is not how you win. you win by bringing them in one by one. i want to thank the naacp for finally coming to terms. mr. chairman, how long did it take us to get same-sex marriage, five years? >> took about a year but before that we probably have bounced the issue around for five years. >> when we took the position to support same-sex marriage, it was wonderful. the members felt good. we all felt good. i say to all of you, and the chairman will speak in a minute, i will sit down. love has no color. we blacks or the one who got the hoses and got killed. but, if a right is a right, a right is a right. the matter who you are. the naacp will stand up with you and for you and that is what we did when we took the position o

naacp puts the stamp the local press says naacp is doing it. --ple like the government governor of georgia are fit to be tied. these outsiders messing with our schools. he doesn't know his problem is down the street. his real problem is down the street. [laughter] if you look in the library of congress and the urban county 1949 branch records, they are not doing anything differently than any other local branch. , baby contest, they see their job is to get the money and they are working with the educators but there is nothing in the file about the school suit that may cost millions. what is happening here? [laughter] that's a trick. children red brick around in stories. educators used it as strategy. agent is never exactly what you see. particular point is extraordinarily important for us .o think about the state executive director before mr. harper's black people are victims of people who do crooked thinking. we are victims of people who do crooked thinking we need to do straight thinking. many to figure out how to outmaneuver others. this is n

she was the secretary of the naacp branch.ot know that the other thing most people don't know is that she was trained as a community organizer and as an activist. she went to hy landers entering tennessee as did many civil rights workers, which is one of the few places that these gatherings could train together. they were always under threat from the authorities that they proceeded anyway. georgia gilmore, i told you a little about my background. georgia gilmore was a cook, and what she did, she and some friends they start a club from nowhere and what he did has raised money to support the boycott. this was a threat to their livelihood and their wives. they called it a club to nowhere because they didn't want to be self identified those people knew who they were. she and the people she works with persisted and raised money to support the movement. i am always saying when you are movement oriented and not just personally, if i'm raised to bring social justice for her, georgia gilmore did that. rosa parks, the rosa parks you may

it's continuing importance of the naacp. you know? because it is about human rights and civil rights. and everyone in this room needs to get back to their places of work and speak to your company's hr department about policies and procedures regarding the lbgt community. there are things called affinity groups, like employee resource groups. and i'm a human resources business professional so speak about this all the time. and i've had an opportunity to build some of these affinity groups, but one that i didn't build was, and i'm going to call it now, friends and allies of the lgbt community. what i've come to understand with affinity groups is that we spend a lot of time talking to ourselves. and we-- you know, and our business colleagues don't want to come to the meetings because they don't want their colleagues to think that they're gay. so the gap exists in the workplace where they're not growing up, but they want to know what we talked about. you know? so they pull us to the side in the bathroom, what you all was talking about and

marshall who most people know and the naacp. what this book does is says that brown v. board would never have happened without the labor and contributions and leadership of girls and young women. girls who approached white schools, talked to angry and hostile principals who turned around and went and spoke to the press, who testified in court, who met with lawyers and who stuck with their cases and became the face of desegregation for the larger community. approaching a white school in 1947 or 1948 was a radical act of social optimism. no one had ever seen black and white students go to school together. no one could really imagine what that would be like are, so it was very, it was very dramatic when a young girl attempted to walk into a white school. she very often didn't get very far, usually just the front door. i'm just going to read quickly one case in 1947 in washington d.c. on the morning of april 13, 1947, 14-year-old marguerite daisy carr went with her father to the elliott junior high school school, the white school cl

wasn't something achieved by the naacp lawyers. lucille was 26 when she tried to enroll at the school of journalism. she has applied 11 times between 1939 and 32. the school one point called her nuisance and barred her from the school. and 32 they shut down their school of journalism rather than admit her. she really got the ball rolling. after her she applied to the university of oklahoma to become a student at the law school. she was the first person to sue the graduate school after world war ii. she was the only graduate school plaintiff to say no when the state offer to set up a separate school for african-americans. she said i will not to this. she became famous and was in the black press but also in the white press. every time she went to the university of oklahoma school warm to her because she had nine canny ability to speak to the press. when she won a supreme court victory that helped her eventually enroll and she came back to oklahoma when she got off the plane the black press in the white press rushed to her to ask what

there's a black victimization narrative and the naacp that believed they needed to tell to get support for the legislation and then you have the consoling narratives that focused on him as a person, who he was as a man, the life he lived in the community as well as the resistance but he offered in response to this threat of lynching survivor story is more resembling. so you have one case competing the narrative traditions but decidedly for the community telling the story was about giving hope to the community and future generations to racist white supremacy as long as the story focused exclusively on terror and dehumanized black bodies, this is a story that would create a usable path for black people for black empowerment of. what i wanted to share is that the black experience of lynching changed over time, how african americans understood the lynching changed over time given the circumstances. at one momenthat one moment it'y important for the naacp to highlight people as victims and at another time it's important for black people to be highlighted as existing lynching in fighting bac

a 2017, the naacp issued travel advisory for those traveling throughout the state of missouri. so this is not something just endemic to ferguson. the doj report in 2017 indicated ferguson is not actually the worst of the actors, simply the place in which the flashpoint occurred, but it was not the worst in terms of the extraction of wealth by law enforcement, abetted by the courts and city officials. ferguson is not actually the worst of it. infact, in some areas greater st. louis, people were fined for having mismatched curtains. any way in which to raise revenue, and using law enforcement as the arm of wealth extraction. r own university was impacted from the fallout from the protests, etc, paying $1.3 of the to fix some negative image after the protests. the enrollment fell after that. how have things fared since then at the university of missouri? guest: i am glad you brought that up. so, i would, the university's still paying fiscally and economically, financially. so the consequences have been layoffs at the university of staff and some faculty. so the university is still

i stopped at a beauty shop across the street from an naacp office. i didn't have any shoes because i lost them when i was dragged across the floor at woolworth's. my stockings were sticking to my legs from the mustard that had dried on them. the hairdresser took one look at me and said, you were involved in that sit-in, huh? yes, i said. do you have time to wash it and style it? there were three other ladies already waiting, but they seemed glad to let me go ahead of them. the hairdresser was real nice. she even took off my stockings and washed my legs while my hair was drying. i remember when i was working on this book project, i thought this was such a powerful scene and a powerful moment to get us to think about black women within the civil rights movement. here we have ann moody whose body is literally embattled, right? she was on the front lines at a sit-in movement, trying to get african-americans better access and equal access to a woolworth lunch counter. and she gets ketchup and mustard and spat upon and racial epithets hurled at her and all

for ten years he served as the executive director of the crisis, the naacp's flagship journal. he's the author of five books for adults and six books for children, correct? >> nine.i >> nine books for children. [laughter] he's also the author of "the n-word: who can say it, who cannot."n- and his next book, "we can't breathe on black lies" will be published in october. so how we're going to proceed this morning is each of our

the naacp where his friend the maa -- naacp leader was nearly murdered. i will make a statement and then a request from each of you. we spent the last three years producing another civil rights justice story. the untold story of documentary, the abuse and humiliation and the maximum-security and humiliation and the maximum-security from 1965. 150 young men and women were taken there illegally. in the documentary has done well. we have a book coming out in november. from the history press. were very excited about the reception they have received those who produce with the partnership in the humanities council to ask the question. we have the next film. facing fear in the civil rights era. i would like to talk to each of you about helping and supporting. and we want to thank you for the work. in and appreciate it. and maybe afterwards i can address each of you about that. i would like to just thank you for your book and your work on civil rights. i like to think you for the great books. and the warning to see up and speak very clearly. as a slide. it is a t

we have not received any other explanation but unavailable but it is not just naacp.ent -- never to my knowledge accepted an invitation of an -- a traditional african-american organization, religious or secular to address that body. i have a strong suspicion he is in fear of being questioned about his true beliefs concerning race in america and the role of his presidency in furthering a nation that is more tolerant or continuing a tone off offin -- of intolerance. >> so what would the president need to do to redeem himself. is there some action the white house could take or what can they do, is there anything they could do to change their -- the perception of the white house and this president on this issue? >> well it is not a perception. it is a reality. and so if this white house would like to change the statements -- that they've made, the policies that they have advanced, the appointments they pursue all of which are reality, these are not perceptions, there is time to be more inclusive in the nominee they put forth. be more sensitive in the statements i've made

they began investigating the naacp for communist links. finds nothing. nevertheless attempts to get the naacp on a list of subversive organizations in the 50s. martin luther king jr., and the southern leadership conference, investigated beginning in the late 1950s. there are the things that prompt that. martin luther king jr. gave a speech at a training school accused of being a communist training center. around the south, right, martin luther king at a communist training school, there he is. this accusation is rooted in inaccurate history of the communist party supporting civil rights of african- americans. they did that, of course, in support of the parties interests. they saw that is a great wedge issue. this is a dispute spread by many segregationists, that the civil rights movement is in fact a communist front orchestrated by moscow to create social unrest in the united states. martin luther king jr. sent a thank you letter to nx city councilman who happened to be a member of the communist party at some point, because that person donated blood to ki

she helped in the naacp, which at one time i was the head of that. was there to help us financially. she was there to help us in other ways. i recall meeting her again at dr. king's funeral. she was an activist and a strong one at that. >> she was. we are all thankful to her. i would be remiss not to say how thankful we are to you and to your late husband for all you did to fight and have done and do today, you, for civil rights. thank you. >> thank you. >> i appreciate you being with me. >> i appreciate that. >> we'll be right back. the first person to survive alzheimer's disease is out there. and the alzheimer's association is going to make it happen by funding scientific breakthroughs, advancing public policy, and providing local support to those living with the disease and their caregivers. but we won't get there without you. join the fight with the alzheimer's association. now t-mobile has unlimited for the rest of us. unlimited for you. for them. for all. get unlimited for as low at 30 bucks per line for four lines at t-mobile. ♪ it is such a g

this also great -- gave a great boost to civil rights realizations, such as the naacp, which had been founded in 1909. does go to the next picture. ofs era also created a lot labor disputes. as i was saying, the money was flowing into the country. there was a feeling it was not being shared equitably. and there were strikes all over the country in that spring, far more than we would ever have today. this is a picture of a streetcar strike in washington, d.c. the crowd of people is trying to prevent what the management called replacement workers, what the circus called scabs, from getting to the streetcars. it was also a great year in the ferment of the women's suffrage movement. in this movement believed that time had come for a constitutional amendment to extend the vote to women all across country. they thought the time was really right and the opportunity had presented itself. in the previous fall, 11 states out of the 48 states that then where women places could vote. the suffrage organization, they wanted to push for a national suffrage amendment. they began picketing the white h

civil rights records have been very useful to me from the naacp, the urban league. i have been able to talk to former african-american shoppers and workers. it is a combination of things that has been very useful. where are you going for more information before you release it next year? i am just about done the book. it comes out next year. i am increasingly interested in what is going on right now with black workers and consumers in department stores. the sears case outcome was not desired, and it probably facilitated the discrimination of racial dish racial discrimination and marketplaces. shoppers are largely women and people of color, and they have been relegated to jobs that are cashier-like. that is my next avenue of research. are there any parallels to where we are today in 2017/2018? i think there are some parallels. department stores, they were the center of american consumption. amazon is doing similar work. the difference is that no longer are people going into brick and mortar stores and shopping and communicating with one another in that way. consumptio

up in m the midwest grew the naacp and had various heights from volunteer to staff member. as i mentioned with strategies at cultures of various organizations across the start to see things that are similar. this bind kind of unites here is nor that us than divides us if we work to commonalities as opposed to focusing on the differences. one thing we are starting to see is not just the fact that we awareness in activities but be trained to focused onhat we are how we can have activities that in nature.sed one thing that we saw through survey is there is a need in the sector for there to be and unconscious bias training. i have seen through my own work trainings rough myself that it really does make difference it break done biases that we don't even know to ave and we bring often the table in work and personal interactions. solutions that is one of the biggest is how do we these antibias and trainings so as our organizations from top to to om have the opportunity look in mirror, reflect and figure out how to do things to bring there together. >> maybe to shift the conversati

this is a letter to the naacp.hat that was was a gathering of african-american leaders, whether they be from the west n indies or africa or the u.s. in which they gathered together to discuss what they could do to people -- we would say african-americans in america, africans, people of african descent around the world, what they could do to push forward their own civil rights and organize internationally. now, in the moment, much like many other things, it doesn't get a ton accomplished. somewhat controversial even within it. however, over the years, by the '50s and '60s, they keep holding this event, and by the '50s and '60s, it becomes a center of independence movements in ais sha and africa, so again, another example of this seed being planted and growing over the decades that follow. it also does create this pan-african internationalist kind of political structure that will be extremely important in the '20s, '30s, '40s, and '50s. the last thing i would note, one, you have the nobel peace prize awarded to woodr

i am from the midwest, grew up in the ends -- naacp. the mentioned, with strategies and being able to oflly look at culture various organizations in sectors across the country. you start to see many things that are very similar. i think it is funny, just kind of a byline, there really is more that unites us and divides us if we pay -- more that unites us than divides us, if we pay attention and learn how to high in those commonalities -- hi those commonalities. we are starting to see not just the fact that we have to have awareness in activities but we need to be trained to make sure that we are focused on how can we have activities that are not bias in nature? one of the things that we saw through this survey is that there really is a need within the sector for there to be anti-bias and unconscious bias training. i have seen, through my own work and going through these trainings myself, that it really does make a difference to break him bias that we do not even know we have, and that we bring often to the table through our work and per

i'm from the midwest, grew up in the naacp, had various hats from being a volunteer to staff member. as i mentioned with strategies and being able to look at cultures of various organizations across the country you start to see things that are similar. i think it is funny, this kind of a byline, there is really more that unites us than divides us if we work to heighten the commonalities as opposed to focusing on the differences. one thing we are starting to see is not just the fact that we have to have awareness in activities, but we have to be trained to make sure that we are focused on how we can have activities that are not biased in nature. and so one of the things that we saw through the survey is there is a need in the sector for there to be antibias and unconscious bias training. i have seen through my own work in going through trainings myself that it really does make a difference to break done -- down biases that we don't even know we have and we bring often to the table in work and personal interactions. as we think of solutions that is one of the biggest is how do we funds

hambrim's family and the naacp are demanding the officer be fired and charged with criminal homicide.ining us now, daniel's mother vicki hambrick and the family's attorney joy kimbrell. we appreciate you taking the time for us. what does justice mean for you? >> justice means justice for everybody all over the united states for justice not just for my baby but all the young men and women. >> as we noted, you're asking for officer delke being charged. there's an independent investigation between the district attorney general. you would like to see the fbi open a civil rights investigation here and also a separate review of metro nashville police department. how will that help in the push toward justice that we could learn from that? >> i think what miss hambrick wants is for this to never happen again. we're maybe two years away from another shooting in nashville, another police shooting where jaquis clemens, another young african-american man was running away and the police shot him repeatedly in the back. we don't want this to happen agai again. the video is clear. this young man, he

the fbi began investigating the naacp for communist links as early as 1941. finds nothing, nonetheless attempts to get the naacp on to a list of subversive organizations in the '50s. martin luther king jr. and the southern christian leadership conference are investigative communist party links beginning in the late 1950s. here are the things that prompt that. martin luther king jr. gait a speech at a social justice leadership training school accused of being a communist training center. here's a billboard that floated around the south. martin luther king jr. at communist training school. it's not a communist training school. spoiler. this billboard accusation is rooted in an accurate history of the communist party supporting civil rights for african-americans, they did it to further the party's interest and we saw it as a great wedge issue. but this is right on this fear that will be spread that the civil rights movement is in fact a communist front being orchestrated by moscow to create social unrest in the united states. martin luther king jr. sent a thank

met with a man named ramsey more who was the president of the cleveland mississippi branch of the naacp and was a vice chair of the statewide and double acp and he said he wanted to get involved in making life better for the african-american population which was basically living under a regime of social and political apartheid and economic clause i slavery . and most said he went down with expectations that he was going to be involved in sit ins at lunch counters and restaurants and hotels but more said look around. you are in a congressional district that two thirds african-american and none of the black people here can vote and of course they could vote during reconstruction but that ended after 10 years with the termination of reconstruction, a nonunion troops out in 1876 and since then it had been grandfather clause in literacy testing and kkk night riders so black people were basically driven all the voter rolls and he said if you want to help we will register people to vote and bob moses almost got himself killed several times going door-to-door. he came up with the phrase one per

under this president that's changing. >> that's b.s. >> the naacp commissioned this survey.d hispanic approval is up 35%. >> none of this is true. >> if he continues to do this for the 2020 election it's a slam dunk. >> it reason bakari calls him a bigot and i call him a bigot and misogynist and hypocrite and a racist is because of his tone, his rhetoric, because what he allows around him and legitimizes. because he equates neo-nazis to those protesting against him, and he calls countries predominantly black shit-holes and because he tweets against don lemon and lebron james and maxine waters and questions their iq and intelligence, and because he appoints people who check off a box that are african-americans like omarosa who don't do policy and then calls them whack jobs and questions their intelligence again. if you need more evidence of his racism i would tell you all you need to do is layoff the kool-aid and wake up to what's actually happening, the rhetoric. >> so when he called mitt romney dumb -- >> all right, got to go. i've got to run. >> there's a reason when -- an

places like state capitol buildings, state flags, local courthouses, and places of power that the naacp referred to as a sovereignty context. efforts to remove them from sovereignty context but also to reduce the flag's profile on the commemorative landscape, this has been the history of the flak for the last 50 years. it did not begin recently. it has come in clear waves since the mid-1960's. culminated with the removal -- it culminated with the removal of the flag from the dome in south carolina and the selection of the new state flag in 2004 after decades of active flag flaps. but it never died down completely. thereington, virginia, has continued to be controversy about the ability of people to fly the confederate flag or display them on flagpoles. there were lots of other incidents after 2004 and before 2015. california passed a bill banning confederate flag sales in 2014. the issue was not completely dormant before this photograph of the charleston murder in june of 2015. things dramatically and hastened the pace of change and challenge to flags and monuments. let me go back to th

derrick johnson, the president and ceo of the naacp is here.e your remembrances about this great lady? >> if you look at the program, it's a representation of her life. you have elected officials, civil rights leaders, the arts and entertainment industry. for the naacp she was a significant supporter of our work. she believed in civil rights. she understood how to use her platform to advance social justice, much as we see with nfl players today. she had the courage to do so and the independence to understand if she didn't do it, who would? >> it has been a remarkable service. you see bill clinton putting his hand over his chest. i have to apologize to our viewers. i am a little bit embarrassed. i said earlier that bill clinton played "freedom." he played "think." i'm sorry. i am bad with song titles. ann, what jumps out to you? >> i am excited that this service is not only honoring the spirit of the greatest not just vocalist, but maybe the greatest artist of the 20th century, of our time, of our nation, but also that it's introducing people wh

and, of course, thurgood marshall was not at that stag dinner, the chief attorney for the naacp.but warren -- eisenhower, in warren's view, compounded his, the unethical judgment by taking warren aside when they went as men in the 1950s at stag dinners do, went more their brandy and cigars, and said that, you know, these, these white parents are not so bad. they just don't want their little girls to go to school with overgrown black boys. very racist comment. and, in fact, one of warren's biographers said he didn't really say black boys, he said black bucks, which is even worse. so the question is at the time he said this, and this is while the court was deliberating on brown v. board of education, was he trying to lobby warren? i'm not so sure, but he should have known not to have engaged in this at all. did he actually say that? well, nobody was a party to that conversation except warren and eisenhower. but warren, warren had a reputation of being a very, a man of great honesty and integrity. so i think he probably said something like that. and i think he did have residual feel
