and roy wilkins had been with the naacp since the early 1930's. and he waited his time, did his work, moved his way up the organizational ladder and finally in 1955 became the head of the naacp. what else happened? emmett till. rosa parks. that's what else happen. who is heading up the montgomery improvement association? martin luther king. so imagine you have waited 20 some years to be head of the civil rights movement leadership and within the moment here that you become the head here comes this guy out of montgomery alabama that all the sudden, the media is flocking all around, talking about who the leader, the leader there was this kind of rivalry there, will kinds would help coming out of numerous jails, do not get me wrong but we also have to take into account, when we are talking about alliances, we are talking about the kind of real deal stuff about people and organizations working together and the frictions that happened when you deal with people who believe that they should be here and somebody else is getting something that they should

two days later, the naacp bails bob moses out of jail. moses goes back. he continues to work with the people. then he finds another group and they go to register to vote. part of the problem is that where moses had been staying was right across the street from state representative e.h. hurst. he was a segregationist, white supremacist of the first magnitude. and moses was staying right across the street from him. but even worse than e.h. hurst, and that's bad, was his son-in-law, billy jack casten. he had terrorized black people as long as billy jack could terrorize people. and he saw was moses was doing. you begin to think how this threatens the power structure. you have counties that are 50% black but you've only got one registered voter there. if you can get all of them registered and voting, all of a sudden you have different officials which means you're getting different policies, which means, oh, i don't know, maybe e.h. hurst isn't going to be a state representative for too long. this is really going after a segregationist, white supremacist power

board of education and joined the naacp in doing that. i'm proud we work today on so many issues together. because make no mistake, from charleston to charlottesville to pittsburgh to poway, there is a through-line. white supremacy is a violent threat against all marginalized groups. the people, as my colleague hillary sa hilary said, who hate jews hate african-americans, simply because they and we are different from their majority view. there's a lot work to be done. i would commend congresswoman lawrence and congresswoman wasserman-schultz for helping to start the bipartisan caucus on relations. i had the privilege of addressing a group of legislators two years ago with my friend from the naacp. there is so much work to do. at adl we were founded after a you wish man was lynched in 1913. he was lynched after having been falsely accused of a crime, essentially a blood libel of murdering a christian girl. what i would note is that when that man was lynched, leo frank, the founders of adl wrote a charter for this new organization, and in i

rosa parks is the sect of the naacp in montgomery, she knows exactly what she's doing and she's doing it because she's the right person to do it. on the other hand someone simply comes along and finds themselves in the situation and i think in some cases lloyd gains was like that. one funny story about niemann sweat, he's a postal delivery person. he's not a wealthy person at all. he's aplaying for the university of texas law school and in the process he gets invited up to austin and ushered into the main rich person's white hotel and he walks in the front door which black people aren't supposed to do and immediately the bellman takes him to the elevator which he's not supposed to get in to and he's taken up to a suite where he's not supposed to go and in the suite are a number of very, very wealthy texas businessmen with literally a bag of cash and they offer him this bag of cash if he will withdraw his case and he walks away. he later suffers tremendous medical problems because of the nerves and the stress of this but he's one tough man who is willing to stick it out. and that's wha

she was part of the naacp. she was in the southern christian leadership conference, served as executive secretary in that organization. and she recognized the power that the younger population had, if harnessed and given direction. so, as executive secretary of the sclc, she decided to organize a conference of student activists at shaw university in raleigh. that conference is the founding of the student nonviolent coordinating committee. so though she herself was no longer a student, she recognized the importance of education and student activistism. she encouraged the students that she engaged with to organize from the ground up. she assisted them by leveraging her connections in the various organizations she belonged to, especially the naacp. and that enabled her to connect those students with powerful individuals. and so, sncc ends up joining forces in many cases with the congress of racial equality, and together, those organizations put together the 1961 freedom rides. so, you can see the generational inte

>> for the naacp we're going to be doing strong outreach to local officials to try to encourage themo get more voting machines in precincts, our goal is to open up democracy to change public policy to get early voting. this is game year. now it's a matter of educating voters to stay in line at all costs. in order for us to get the government we own, we must participate and vote even if if it requires us to stand in line seven or eight hours. >> people weighting in line seven or eight hours they certainly care about our future. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you for giving us the opportunity. >>> at least 24 people were killed and several still missing after a tornado struck nashville and tennessee on monday. several other people were injured and at least 45 buildings collapsed in natchville. as of this morning, several thousand homes and businesses are still without power. the governor called the devastation heartbreaking. call devastation heartbreaking. when i get my teeth cleaned, my hygienist doesn't use something like this. she cleans with something like this. it

she had been a long-standing member of naacp. she was ultimately hired to become the director of workshops which was ultimately absorbed into the southern christian leadership conference. during that time period, she and her cousin bernece robinson, another prominent female figure in the movement created the first citizenship school to educate blacks and literacy, state government and election. procedure's martin luther king jr. relied on her expertise regarding education, literacy and the rules in which literacy and education could help the voting movements that he was part. of she was so influential that he insisted when he won the nobel peace prize in 1964, that she accompany him to sweden. he was adamant that she had to be there with him that is how much work she had put into supporting his overall movements. she inspired many other women, particularly students who were faced with further segregation for most of the following women come from the student, non violating community. these are student activists getting involved th

every day after a man was lynched the naacp hung that flag over their headquarters.flag is it's owned by the library of congress, temporary exhibition. it is not really something that we want to collect all of these items because some items are one of a kind. and they gave that to us on loan. when it comes off exhibition on june 14, because it is a textile, it will go into storage for another ten years. so for those of us who were like me as a historian or just a student reading our books and we saw that flag as an image, it is actually here. and so that's what the flag represents. it goes along with kind of the red summer. what african-americans were doing and their white supporters, and that's key about the exhibition and the museum. museums should exist to tell inclusive stories. when we're talking about people who are pushing the african-american experience forward it's not just african-americans. so there is this representative from st. louis, missouri, named leonidis dire and he puts forth an anti-lynching bill which never passes, so there is this move afoot, a

what the naacp did is they made this flag and they hung it over headquarters in new york for 18 years, 1920-1938. they did it based on what you said is on the flag. a man was lynched yesterday. the intent was to highlight, this is still going on in this country. somewhere there is a log, i cannot tell you how many days it flew, but every day after a man was lynched, the naacp hung that flag over headquarters. the key thing about that flag is it is owned by the library of congress. temporary exhibition. it is not really something we want to collect all of these items. some items are one-of-a-kind. they gave that to us on loan. when it comes off exhibition, june 14, because it is a textile, it will go into storage for another 10 years. for those of us, like me, a historian, or a student reading books, and we saw that flag as an image, it is actually here. that is what the flag represents. it goes along with the red summer. what african-americans were doing and their white supporters, and that is key about the exhibition as well, and the museum. you know, museums should exist to tell inc

the bipartisan center action, naacp, third way, 20 associate attorneys general and others have joined me to have this rule overturned. today the senate has a chance to show the country that we can come together and do the right things for students and veterans. how many times have we given speeches about how much we care about veterans? here's a chance to vote with the veterans, those especially who have been defrauded out of their g.i. bill of rights. how many times have people told us, these student debts are too much, they are ruining kids lives. give them a chance. i'm not for forgiving all loans to all students, but these students have been defrauded. they should have an opportunity to start life again and not burdened with a debt that will make their liesm impossible. i hope -- life impossible. i hope my colleagues will join me. regardless of what you think of the 2016 rule, we can do better than what secretary devos has come up with. mr. president, i understand -- i've been advised that we're not quite ready for my request of the chair and so i will say a couple of more words o

just like adl and naacp have worked together for generations. number two, we talk about the pyramid of hate. when you don't call out bigotry when it's spoken, it can lead to acts of hate like harassment which leads to violence. violence can lead to worse and ultimately to genocide. we believe prevention is better than response. so, that starts in part where you were going earlier, using the bully pulpit. leaders need to lead. they need to not allow it to happen on their watch in the first place. that means using inclusive language, welcoming people of all their differences, and creating environments that are comfortable for everyone no matter how you pray or where you're from or who you love. we need more of that in this country, and we need it now. >> mr. shaffir. >> i was going to say when you think about the utilization of social media tools to do everything from television shows to radio shows, music and everything else and further indoctrinate hate. keep hearing from groups like ours and develop new strategies, tools, and resources to stop

a local one so i'm glad i was a bigoted other than others he will lead us and others on us at the naacp was obscene on my group. so if i did look. here with. so many rain forest fires we want to hear what the industry has to say so we're trying to the i pod frenzy by. this conference is attended by the biggest . in the hall of ceremonies there many of indonesia's top politicians this is no surprise as many of them. off or in print a chance. to stand. in or near them americans are going to be about wasn't looking to be my do going to your most activity was is how we didn't want to be. $20000000.00 is not small money so big huge money in result was hard to but in my name and send. it was anything done to us not medically to him. but i mean a 1000000 minus impossible given a monumental mini monument in the ballet that might give a. damn about it meaning behind us you know my dad. was going to tend. to look somebody who does the you know who money i'm going to give it to the consumer. the is the perspective of the people making me want to thank. the nominees feel immediate something. else i

what i remember was that obj was abandoned by people and the only people that stuck with him as the naacp. my question to you is what about the civil rights revolution in america and how can it not be in your book and how can we explore the great society. >> it is in my book very inexpensively. the book looks at the civil rights law so we have this act that came before the voting rights act and basically the early right are great and important and revolutionary and without them, we wouldn't be where we are. particularly following the howard university speech of president johnson was one of benefits, but people get. those benefits didn't help poor people, white or black. thethe kind of kept them poor. for example today we have the hillbilliology book that's so important. what can we do kind of struggling through the pathologies. in the 1960s we had an appellation law but it didn't help that just made life harder. i mark the divide as they speech i think that he got ahead in bible say there is a treatment in the convention at which the mississippi delegation was not defeated into the decisi

the naacp's efforts caught the attention of the white house.is personal secretary, wilson tried to distance himself from the film. he said he agreed to the screening as a favor of an old friend but disagreed with the film's argument in favor of racial violence. while historians do not know whether wilson actually said the film's history was enlightening, we do take seriously his claims about his ignorance of the character of the film. although wilson was opposed to lynching, he was in line with other things that drove the narrative. in a letter to wilson's secretary, dixon wrote, "the real purpose of my film was to revolutionize northern sentiments by a presentation of history that would transform every man in my audience into a good dinner cap. bery man who comes out will ."southern democrat for life later, dixon would write to wilson saying, "this play is transforming the entire population into sympathetic southern voters. there will never be an issue with your segregation policy." these letters are instructive to understand the real connecti

there are naacp activists who admire parts of black power. i'm not talking about roy wilkins or thurgood marshall, but black power and civil rights at times can converge. but one thing about black power that was different from civil rights, and this impacts dr. king's rhetoric, is black power has a structural critique of what is going on in the united states. it has a structural critique of what is going on domestically and globally. it wants to understand convergence, what king talked about, militarism, racism, it wants to understand how it is connected at the local level, in the north, in the urban south, on the west coast, but also nationally and also in vietnam, africa, latin america. it wants to understand these things. one of the big differences, and sometimes people conflate this, they say black power activists, because of their critique of american democracy, didn't leave an american democracy. walters does. and by the end of his life, some say he is just talking about moral assuageian. there are block power activists who are marcus -

what i remember about the great society is at lbj was abandoned opposed to the vietnam war was the naacpso what about the civil rights revolution? how could that not be in your book how do we great the great - - explain the great society. >> it is in my book and very extensively. this is just one chapter. looking at civil rights law the act which came before the voting rights act and revolutionary. following the howard university speech that is positive and i argue there's plenty of evidence that those benefits didn't help people they kept them poor for example we talk about hillbilly appellation and what can we do with the struggling group in addition to poverty? in the 19 sixties we have appellation law it just made life harder to getting benefits. so that johnson's howard university speech i think johnson got ahead of. and along treatment of the delegation that was not seated and then to turn away with the mississippi party. >> i'm very excited to read your book there are two schools of thought about the great society to be bad and counterproductive in the second the basically it does

there are naacp activists who admire and participate in aspects of black oh, not talking about roy will king, right, not talking about roy wilkins or a thurgood marshall, but black power and civil rights at times converge, but one thing we can say about black power that was different from civil rights, and i think this even impacts dr. king's rhetoric and his understanding, is black power and you see this where ron walters has worked, has a structural critique of what's going on in the united states, so it's got a structural critique of what's going on domestically and globally, so it -- it wants to understand why the convergence and king talked balance militarism, materialism and racism, how these things are connected, and he wants to understand how it's connected at the local level, in the north, in the urban south, on the west coast, but then also nationally but then also in vietnam, in africa, in latin america. it wants to understand these things, and so the -- one of the big differences, and i think sometimes people conflate this, is say that black power activists, because of their

shelton, thank you so much for the work of the naacp in combatting bigotry in all its forms, in being relentless, and always being in the forefront of our nation's leadership on combatting hatred. the jewish and african-american communities have walked in lockstep for generations. and that is the purpose of our forming a bipartisan coalition, black/jewish caucus in the congress. can you, given that we are now dealing with the 21st century version of age old bigotry and anti-semitism and hatred in all its forms, can you talk about what we can do through both of our communities to work together to renew our fight against hatred directed at both of our communities? >> first, thank you so much for the comments. it's extremely important we focus on the challenges of all continues to recognize what we call a convergence of interest. that is, we think about what our communities want is so

the school district along with a representative from the naacp and san jose city council members allther today to denounce hate and bigotry on school campuses. >> as an educator in this community for more than 30 years, it's painful and heartbreaking to see hatred in our community. and sadly, this is not the first time that this has happened. >> the superintendent says this silent third time that racist graffiti has been found on campuses in this school district since last year. she also says the district is installing new surveillance cameras to prevent something like this from happening again. police have not made any arrests in connection with the case. >>> another warm day here in the bay area. lots of sunshine. the dry weather stretch continues. take a look at the average highs for today. most areas on average in the low to mid-60s. but of course as you know, if you've been outside for a second, we are well above average. santa rosa so far, at the airport, a preliminary high of 85 degrees this afternoon. san francisco in the lower 70s so far today. oakland lower 70s. concourse 7

discussion, various civil rights leaders and i, those of the urban league and derek johnson of the naacp, mel a -- melanie campbell and chuck schumer, we're challenging all sides of the leadership to do what is right but don't forget the underserved communities and don't forget the most vulnerable. today where i do my weekly rallies in harlem every saturday, the national action, we gave prepackaged food to those tho nese who needed prepackaged deal. we're all together and we need to sometimes deal with adversaries so we can get past this together. on the show tonight, the economic impact that's about to hit us on when the specific focus on people of color. joining me is the mayor of san francisco. madam mayor, thank you for being with me. you chose earlier than most to have your city go into an area really of shutdown, where the restaurants and the clubs and the spots like that were closed down and you've had people stay at home. how has that worked so far? >> well, it's of course been very challenging. it's been working. people have been keeping their distance and only going out for ess

derek johnss is the and ceo of naacp. your reaction to last night? >> it was amazing to watch the energy. i live in mississippi, and it was great to see people who are enthusiastic about voting, but it's more about november than anything else. i was calling michigan, i'm from detroit, and i'm hearing the same tones of we have to get focused on november. i think that's what's day place in the african-american community. people are concerned about the outcome of november and the level of engagement yesterday is a strong signal, let's get away from this primary and let's get focused on november. >> but a weaker signal than we got in 2016. in your state, yes, vp biden won 87% of the black vote, but specific turnout was down by 7%, compared to 2016. >> you know, the primary in 2016 was -- it was fascinating to watch and frustrating at the exact same time. i don't think either candidate really spoke to african-american voters in 2016 at a level that they should have, nor did they speak to african-american voters that they should/, but i'm saying they're re

>> walter white, the president of the naacp, replies in a letter -- >> reporter: they had blow back inreatment and to show solidarity with american jewish groups. >> hitler blames it all on what he calls america's black auxiliary. >> reporter: some members of the u.s. olympic committee and their german hosts didn't want them in germany either. >> they just didn't want those athletes there. and then from a propaganda standpoint, they were like, okay, let these athletes come because when they lose -- >> pollard third -- >> -- it will demonstrate the aryan supremacy and that we're better. >> the tall running -- >> the whole aspect was completely dismantled. >> the first victory -- >> by win after bin after win. cornelius johnson and dave albreten in the high jump, done. >> reporter: african-americans smoked the competition, earning 14 medals, eight of them golds. one quarter of all 56 medals won by the entire u.s. team. >> there's irony in the fact that you represent a racist country and you go to another racist country to prove that your racist country is less racist than theirs. >> repo

she's actively involved in her local naacp chapter, and in addition, she is the executive director of abounding women community outreach. this nonprofit is dedicated to empowering women through the community events and professional skills training. she is a vibrant part of my community, and i'm glad to commend her from the floor of the united states house of representatives on this day. she deserves all the accolades we can give her and much more. with that i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. members, take your conversations off the floor. for what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee seek recognition? >> i seek unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to remember the life of sammy, a respected member of the nashville community who reinterly pad away at the age of 86. he led the american dream. born in palestine in 1933 and immigrated to america in 1953. he returned to palestine i

the urban league and derrick johnson of the naacp and we collectively put out this plea. to put a call to the white house and surprisingly the president called me back. and he made no promises but he heard me out. and i said that this is a real moral issue. on the fact that we have homeless people that are not being tested. they're not even being discussed to be tested. and we have those that are incarcerated. there's no mechanism for. how do you tell homeless people to stay home when they don't have homes? many of them not in shelters. how do you tell incarcerated people to have social distancing when they're in a 6 by 12 cell. how do i stay six feet away from each other? >> but here's the thing, al. we got half a million people homeless in this country. we have 40 million people who are food insecure. we have a whole lot of people who earn 7, 8, 9, $10 an hour. we've got more incarcerated people than anywhere else in the world. these are structural issues and it's very hard to solve them. generally speaking, they're hard to solve and they cost a lot of money. although,

. >> now, many civil rights organizations, national urban league, naacp and others, national action network that i head, am on the board push this saying that in black and communities of color there has been an undercount and there's been no real effort by this administration, like the past administration, to really push for them to in fact fill out the census, which could cost congressional seats, local seats and resources, money into those communities. >> absolutely. >> why is it so important, that's why i started this by saying there was one time we were considered 3/5 of a man, then we had to fight for the right to vote and there's still people trying to impede that. why should we make sure we're fully counted now? >> first of all, because we have the right to be fully counted and if we do not complete the census our seselveourselves, weo continue to be undercounted. many children in black and brown communities need the support of head start and child care and housing assistance. all of that is determined by the census count. if we take ourselves out of it or we let the government take

a year later, another tragic case where in detroit the naacp was representing black schoolchildren in city who wanted an integrated education. the judge in detroit rightly found there was no way to integrate the schools if you just included detroit. there were not enough white students. he ordered a metropolitan area remedy, which meant you would bust people across district lines, urban and suburban, to make sure everyone attended an integrated school. he came up with a great plan. all of the schools would havee been 70% white, 30% black, reflecting the racial mix of the metropolitan area. the supreme court reversed that. if those two decisions had not bebeen reversed by the supreme court, we would have very different public schools for the last 50 years and i think a very different country. amy: as we move forward now, what do you see happening to the supreme court? are you looking particularly at any cases? the most recent case is the supreme court answering this louisiana abortion case, which could lead to, i mean, perhaps one clinic in all of louisiana if louisiana is lucky. >> we
