rebecca, senator booker is seizing on what's going on right now in america, after el paso and dayton. he called out white gun violence. does his campaign believe he could peel away some biden voters? >> certainly anything that happens in the context of this democratic primary has to be viewed through the lens of joe biden being the democratic front-runner in the race. booker has emphasized with this plan in america that's been going on, this is more of a moral moment are the words he used. something that transcends politics, he's wanted to focus on that, as he has this conversation, of course. in this plan, he's focusing on president trump and the white house's role and responsibility in the rising tide of hate and white supremacy of america. this is something that booker discussed in a powerful speech last week at the mother emmanuel church in charleston, south carolina, i want you to take a listen to part of those remarks. >> you repeat what you sow. the act of anti-latino, anti-immigrant hatred we witnessed this past weekend did not start with the hand that pulled the trigger. from the highest office

all these mass shootings here in the u.s., much of it propelled sometimes by white supremacist or far-right extremists. rebeccahis sort of pu punctuates what ryan lizza was saying, yes it seems in washington, the fix is in. >> you think what happened after sandy hook, nothing. after parkland, essential nothing. so you have las vegas, another great example. >> although the administration will say they got rid of bump stocks during that. >> but minor change here. status quo holds, because the politics haven't changed for republicans. frankly many republican supporters don't support stricter gun laws. theant doesn't support stricter gun laws, and the republicans support the president right now. so really there's no political incentive to go out on a limb and until there's a political uprising, the status quo will hold. >> sabrina? you don't think it could change this time? >> not really. at the risk of sounding critical, we have been down this road before, at least when it comes to the federal level. you know who could make a difference is the president of the united states who has the bully pulpit at his proposa

rebecca boggs roberts. >> i forgot to tell her to wear white. but what a true honor it is for us to be here in this hallowed hall as you have just heard from congresswoman lesko some of its history. in front of the room named for my mother and rebecca's grandmother and with the speaker of the house and all of you fabulous powerful women, and leader mccarthy. it really is an occasion worth celebrating and celebrating well into next year until august. let me read you "the new york times" headline from may 22nd, 1919. suffrage wins easily in house. vote 304-89. 19 republicans and 70 democrats largely from the south comprise opposition. the surprise vote was nicholas longworth who had voted the year before the amendment had come to the house and passed by one vote and it had been terrifying for the supporters, and he had voted against it then, but he said things had changed in his state since then. he didn't mention his wife, alice, who probably wouldn't let him come home. but after that heartbreaking vote in the house or heart-stopping house in the

as rebecca just pointed out the field discussing whether or not to call the president a white supremacista few saying, yes he is. a few stopping short saying he condones white supremacy. here's front-runner joe biden? >> i believe everything the president says encourages white sprupremacy supremacy. in fact, it might be worse. he's not there trying to curry the favor of white supremacist groups or everything that we live or believe. whetherly lhe is a white supremacist. he used the word white supremacy, he talked about sleepy. he was awful sleepy in the way in which he talked about it. >> the democratic deal focuses on whether they're going to call out the president as a white supremacist. whether he is one. some in the trump camp are reportedly saying they're happy to share that decision. >> they say his supporters will be emboldened by the accusation because democrats are alienating them. we talked about it with errol louis. >> that said, there's a possibility that might be true. on the other hand, when it comes to something as serious as what we've just seen, if you can't, as a democra

white patients. i wanted to mention them because i think it's important for women to know they did serve as surgeons. it included one african-american woman. rebecca was educated at the new england medical college. there's no known photographs of her. this image serves to represent the achievement of becoming the first african-american woman in the united states to earn a medical degree in 1864. she practiced in boston for a short time before she moved to virginia. that's where she attended to the medical needs of the friedman there. she made note of her sfervice i virginia. she said the last quarter of the year, 1866 i had access each day to a very large number of others of different classes in a population of over 30,000 colored. her book is one of first medical publications by an african-american woman. nu nurzing during the zifrl war was seen as a care giving role. most of the nurses had no formal train, i thad provided care to soldiers, helped doctors, gave out medicine, provided special uniforms. they wrote letters home for ailing soldiers. they had a mirror rad of services they provided. they worked long hours for little or no pay. this was

rebecca grant is a national security and military analyst, you know, at a time like this, dr. grant, everybody wonders why. we've got a 21-year-old whitee are rumors and only rumors that he posted some kind of a manifesto on-line. but typically that's the age where a lot of these mass shooters decide to do this kind of thing, early 20s, sometimes late teens. >> yes, that's right. i think right now we have no information about motive. several of your experts have warned us about speculating too much. but, you know gets me in the heart, and i wonder is there a terrorism connection? we remember the pulse nightclub or the boston bombings or even fort hood, and we wonder about that possible terrorist connection. and, you know, one thing i want to say here is that's part of the reason that we still have our u.s. military forces doing so much counterterrorism work is to prevent any more of this type of incident because we do worry about that. again, we don't know anything at this point about motive, but we do know that this lone shooter who appears to have picked this target for a reason, does begin to fit into some of that prright.he san ber

white community, that we're only a wealthy community. neither of those things are true and it's really, really important to me that we welcome everybody into our community because we all belong here. >> reporter: rebecca says a variety of community groups began holding candlelight vigils and making home made signs about three years ago. every time someone was made to feel like they do not belong here, these groups have loudly proclaimed that the community has their back. they hope to inspire others to realize every little bit helps. >> that support i received from all these wonderful women, i wantveryonto feel not be hesitant about visiting our local businesses and our community. wet be a stimulus for catapulting a much larger movement, within the greater bay area community at large. >> reporter: they know full well the nastiness could continue but they have a greater good in mind. >> no. putting us up is not going to stop someone from being a bully but saying over and over again we all are human may change some minds. if it helps somebody feel more confident themselves, somebody walk down the street without fear, somebody walk into a store knowing that store welcomes them, then we've done good in the
