rachel went itself to the naacp goals of reaching integrated audiences. it is a full-length sentimental plate whose emotional appeal largely hinges on the similarities between blacks and whites. in fact, she later explained that she'd written at the plate to convince whites, especially white women, that lynching was wrong as illustrate by the fact that even outstanding black citizens were vulnerable to a. the initial production of rachel ran for just two days but it sparked intense discussion about african-american identity, racial violence and about what lacked drama should accomplish. rachel impacted writers and thinkers of the time but the significance has been underestimated by theater histories that locate the origin of black, in the 1920s. because willis richardson took fortune, the black author play to be produced on broadway in 1923 and langston hughes is two-year run of broadway in 1935, these men are often hailed as the fathers of black drama. yet richardson admitted that it was rachel that prompted him to be, a playwright. just as importantly,

. >>> rachel planned on being in her dad's business footsteps. but life takes strange turns and she found herself following to some unexpected places. >> so much of our work is in thailand, how do we start to get people more involved here. >> she did kind of back into the world of nonprofit. >> for whatever reason, i ended up working here and i never thought that would happen. >> you see, while many groups that do good end up with documentaries made about them, rachel's actually began with a documentary and took off from there. it was rachel's skills as a photographer and interest in sublt matter that landed her with a crew shooting a film about sex trafficking in thailand. while assessing the problem, though, they found something missing from the solutions. lottings of organizationings rescuing girls and boys from forced prostitution. but precious few working to stop it in the first place. >> on my end of it, i was interested in what does prevention look like. >> apparently, it looks like this. >> that's the old building. and then this is the ne

rachel levin, any kind of earthquake in that part of the world is deadly and dangerous. what are you seeing? >> so far, we don't have any pictures of what might be happening but it is in a rural area. guerrero is a state like the city of acapulco, which many viewers may have visited at one time. we are watching to see what kind of reports may have been coming out about the damage here. here in mexico city we felt that quake. it was very strong, it probably lasted about 30 seconds, my house started shaking, i saw people running into the streets. now things are calming down and returning to normal in the capitol for a moment. >> rachel, because we are talking about acapulco, the newer buildings are built to withstand buildings like this but many of the rural buildings are not. is that where the concern lies or is it too soon to tell? >> reporter: i think it's too soon to tell. you're right to point out, in a lot of these rural communities the materials used to build these homes would probably not withstand the pressure. the numbers have been revised to 7.5 on the richter s

a special edition of the rachel maddow show starts right now. >> i'm rachel maddow. thanks for being with us wrrsh this is not a story about north korea and that's kind of the point. october 9th, 2006, around 10:30 a.m. local time, the ground started to shake beneath a small village in the northeast corner of north korea. halfway around the world back here in the u.s., seismologists recorded what looked to be a 4.3 magnitude earthquake. what happened in north korea that morning was not an earthquake. it was a nuclear explosion. >> kim jung-il defies the u.s. and world and claims to have set off an atomic weapon. >> that day in 2006, the secretive repressive north korean regime showed the world they had built and tested a nuclear bomb. a rogue country building nuclear weapons, threatening to proliferate that technology, stockpiling weapons of mass destruction.

i'm rachel nichols and you are watching our "all-access" special from the masters. here at augusta nationals club owners go to a lot of trouble. not much changes in the past 50 years including a certain tree. at least until recently. before there were green jackets -- before the azaleas -- before the masters golf tournament even existed, a pine tree grew in augusta, georgia. they built the golf course around it, letting it rain over the 17th hole. and while would the 65-foot tree was beautiful, it could sure wreck havoc with a round of golf. >> i've hit it a few times. i know that. and it's definitely a thorn in most players' side. >> reporter: in 2011, tiger woods tore his achilles punching a ball from the pine straw at the base of the tree. 1973 masters champ tommy aaron had an even more bizarre encounter during his third to round at the '89 tournament. >> it hit in the top of the tree and pine pollen went everywhere. shheew like a bomb had gone off. >> reporter: the ball stayed in the tree. aaron took the penalty. >> the next day i'm playing, as i'm walking by th

so, what can he do, how far, rachel, can he actually go? can he force sterling, for example, to sell the team? >> that would be extremely difficult. adam silver has broad powers, as he said in his press conference the other day, but he doesn't have unlimited powers. right now, the commissioner does not have the power to unilaterally just kick an owner out of the league and force him to sell his team. there's a couple provision, in the nba constitution which, by the way, is a secret document. but enough has leaked out that we know there's provisions to remove an owner from his team if he can't pay his bills, for example, or he puts the team in certain positions, but foot ono that have been met in this case. he would need silver to separate sterling from his team completely. the backing of three quarters to more than the other owners. we're not sure he even has that. he has the power to fine donald sterling. for a guy who has a $1.9 billion net worth, a $1 million fine is not going to mean much. he has the power to suspend sterling. this is w

rachel, i want to ask you this. the commissioner's decision, banned for life. >> the hammer. >> and it seemed personal for him. do you think this is a turning moment for racism in professional sports? >> absolutely. it's a big moment for adam silver and the nba. this is a new commissioner and it was his chance to put a stamp on what his tenure is going to be like. what he said is there is no room for this in this league. he also explained that hey, this problem goes way beyond sports. we heard that echoed from kevin jackson, the mayor of san francisco who used to be a player in the nba. this is an example for everybody that bigotry cannot stand. it's basically everybody standing up saying hey, we've got a limit and you have passed it. >> doc rivers, the players in a statement for the commissioner, it seemed like they were just so relieved because they were thinking the worst thing could happen that nothing or something very minor would happen. but there was a sigh of relief. >> i want to explain what a powder keg th

he's got to give up the team. >> rachel, that's being echoed by many. i just spoke with kareem abdul jabbar. he's speaking a very similar sentiment. >> yeah. look, it's not surprising to hear that kind of talk from donald sterling. for those of your viewers not familiar with him, before this incident, let me give you a little background. ste sterling made some of his money in real estate development and two times he was sued for discriminating about what kind of tenants he had in his buildings. there was enough evidence that sterling settled for huge amounts. one time it was a record amount. an all-star worked for sterling and the management of the clippers. baylor filed a lawsuit against sterling and one of the quotes entered into the record in that suit is sterling allegedly saying that the reason he discriminated back in his apartment buildings was that, quote, black tenants smell and attract verment. and the nba has been criticized in the past for not doing anything about sterling. but now this recording, it really does seem to be the tipping point,

rachel nichols is here from cnn sports. rachel has been doing some investigating.en talking about people in the league. and at a game down in atlanta. what are people saying about donald sterling, rachel? >> a lot of people around the nba are horrified. a lot of people around the nba are unfortunately not surprised because we have seen a record in the past from donald sterling of racial discrimination, of racial comments. remember, this is a guy who, two separate times, settled court cases with the u.s. justice department. they're not small settlements. i'm talking about huge, in one case record settlements about racial discrimination. he was accused of discriminating against blacks. he was accused of discriminating against hispanics, against koreans. he is, unfortunately, an equal opportunity racist, it seems. certainly from the fact that he has gone and settled these cases as opposed to fighting them all the way through in court. there have been more lawsuits. long-time general manager elgin baylore sued sterling and that suit was eventually rejected on some othe

rachel, thank you so much for us in new york.ornwell, let me bring you back in, as a sports attorney, just to talk about the legalities of all of this. when we heard from commissioner silver earlier, he said that sterling is banned for life from anything l.a. clippers, anything nba. they slapped the maximum fine, $2.5 million, and strongly urging effective immediately, the owners group, the 30 owners to basically vote him out, to force the sale of the clippers team so he'll no longer have his position. my question to you is, because i keep reading about donald sterling and reading that he is litigious by nature. could he fight any of this in court, or is this a done deal? >> it's pretty much a done deal. but that doesn't mean he won't try to fight it in court. the nba constitution provides for arbitration of disputes between the clubs, the club owners and commissioner's office, or between clubs themselves. so if he were to go to court, i think a judge would kick it out and say you have to resolve this by the arbitration provision

rachel joins us live from mexico city. what more information is coming in now, rachel? >> reporter: what we're hearing is there's damage to some buildings in the coastal town of acapulco. that's a major tourist destination. we'd like to remind our viewers it is holy week in mexico, so a lot of people have gone to the coast to have vacation with their families. but we have so far not heard or had any confirmation of any deaths or injuries. we also felt that tremor all the way here in the capital of mexico city. buildings shook for about 90 seconds. people ran out into the streets panicked. many people in their pajamas, but so far the city has now returned back to normal, and no major structural damage is reported here either. >> let's hope that theme continues throughout the day. thanks so much, rachel there in mexico city. >>> algeria's interior minister says the president has won a fourth term in office with a landslide 81% of the vote. >> translator: after 10,292,029 voters, the result is for the president who gets 8,332,598. that represents 81.53% of the valid votes.

what do you think, rachel?s quoted as saying, sterling, he doesn't believe the clippers are for sale. what do we know about this? >> yeah, well he says that, and that maybe gives us an inkling into whether he's going to fight this. if the other owners by a 3/4 majority or more decide if the clippers are for sale, guess what, the clippers will be for sale. he can try to tie that up in the courts. he won't win. he can at least try to delay it, tie it up, and maybe cause some other problems and could domino because doc rivers has said he doesn't want to work for donald sterling anymore. if the summer comes and donald sterling still owns the team because of legal tie-up, that could have legal repercussions of whether they can hold on to their coach and players. the team is going it be for sale. where does shelley sterling fit in? unlikely she can retain ownership because she can't buy out the team and part of him being done means that whole ownership group being gone and includes her. however, she has tried and she

so he's being fined the maximum, rachel, $2.5 million. billion, that's not a huge sum of money, but what's much more important is that he is banned for life from going to nba games, doing anything with the team he still owns. >> that's truly hitting him where he hurts, because this guy has a huge ego, he loves being the one who sits in the front row on the side, he loves having everyone come up to him and know him and see him as the owner of the clippers and the fact that will not happen anymore, there is no question that is a huge blow, but there are still some questions here, wolf, because the woman sitting next to him at those games is the woman you see on screen right now, his estranged wife, so to speak, shelly. she doesn't look so estranged, that's tmz catching them going to dinner just last night. and i got to tell you, she denounced him publicly as a racist, yet in this video, the photographer asked her if her husband is a racist and she says, no, it's not true. this is all relevant, because adam silver said today in his press con
