the central selma plan related to the folds plan you just reviewed the central selma plan will be moving 0 through the eir process soon. and the stave office of historic preservation has offered us neighborhood commercial district survey grants that's currently flew in anticipation of any ada upgrades that result from a soft story ryan white ordinance and which of those buildings that quality or, in fact, surveys. in regards to the reports recommendations about increased public participation and notification again, i feel like we've learned a lot of sense the eastern neighborhoods it's developed as part of the sunset survey and many of those components are standard. parts of our outreach plan given any historic resource survey but we appreciate the way the report oonlz that a survey outreach effort this is a aphasia to be fine tuned to the audience it is trying to reach and the level of participation we're essentially seeking. with the sunset survey we had without any doubt updates and historic walk tours and local cafes involved and standard community meetings. that might not be the bes

[ applause ] >> thank you, mark, and the staff of the lyndon johnson library. my beloved friends, my sisters and brothers, i have the special honor to introduce the keynote speaker of this celebration of the civil rights act of 1964. it is so fit iting and so appropriate that president barack obama would join us today to honor the legacy of president lyndon johnson. now, president barack obama was born into a dangerous and difficult time in american history. a time when people were arrested and taken to jail just for sitting beside each other on the bus. it was against the law for black-and-white people to ride in

. >> i think it's interesting to note you think about selma and king's march in selma, which was criticalf conversations between president johnson and martin luther king when he said to king, you know, you find the worst place in the south, you find where people can't vote without reciting the constitution and you get down there. get all the leaders down there so that a guy that's on a tractor in the midwest will say it's just not fair, everybody ought to be able to vote. you do that job down there, get radio and television down there, i'll push this bill through up here. so it was that kind of partnership. go ahead, i'm sorry. >> let me ask you, because you've been quite vocal about this and there's this sort of -- is there a real tension that you think or do you think that this white house of president obama, he doesn't like the lbj comparesons, i don't think any president does, and any president will say that was a unique period and lbj had a unique set of circumstances, similar to what president obama argues and it's this whole idea that president johnson was so capable of getting thi

we will march from selma to montgomery, dr. king said with tears in his eye, the voting rights act will pass. dr. king and mr. lewis made their march from selma to montgomery, and president johnson passed the voting rights act. overcome the crippling legacy of bigotry and injustice, it is largely because of the courage and fortitude of those, like lyndon johnson, martin luther king, and john lewis. ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming to this congressman john lewis. [applause] >> thank you, mark. and staff of the lyndon baines johnson's library. my friends, my sisters and honorrs, i have a special to introduce the keynotes bigger for this 50th anniversary celebration of the civil rights act of 1964. it is so fitting and so appropriate that president barack obama would join us today to honor the legacy of president lyndon johnson. president barack obama was born into a dangerous and difficult , a timeamerican history when people were arrested and for sittingl just beside each other on a bus. it was against the law f

we interviewed architects and redesign contractors for windows and developers from the selma area and talked with them about the projects for the future as well. they directed us to a literature review we conducted a literature review to some of the key documents the green report and eco district documents and various technical papers we realize the green ordinance building provide baseline legal framework that if followed would help developers to a threshold. we used those two documents asia the framework and the secretaries framework of sustainability we could disstill a road map for a blue print. finally we looked at various case studies the main thing we've learned is even to every building is different and you're not going to be able to do cost accounting we can make people better conservative to make building more efficient and from the improving the tenants experience of the environment >> so the graphic we developed that is in the report is a guide for successful rehabilitation it will break it down for the average person research which includes the understanding of the buigs

unique events that warhol presented as banalized through newspaper reportage would be the riots in selmaalabama. we don't have an individuality that's secreted away from that clamor and refuse and chaos of the everyday. we are that chaos. while in america with pop art the attention was given to recording and to criticizing the consumer culture carried on by objects, comic strips, advertising, and the media, in europe, yves klein and joseph beuys were dealing with the idea of the artist as a shaman, the person that can change the sensibility of the world. a pilot in a german luftwaffe, joseph beuys was shot down during world war ii. this brush with death permeates his works. here a man appears to be in the jaws of a reptile entrapped in a pipe. it is like an ancient tartan on its side, suggesting death and birth at the same time. for beuys, each element in the world has the same value. for him, there is no difference between animals, plants, objects, or human beings. all share the same energy. he envisioned a world where everyone was an artist. his work dramatizes unrealized potential, li

that's the march from selma to montgomery.id, quote, my experience with john lewis in selma earlier this year was a profound experience and he hoped to, quote, find a reasonable path forward that ensures that the sacred obligation of voting in the country remains protected. but here's what cantor's office said this week about the bill to restore key parts of the voting rights act. quote, we still want to try to get something on it, but there are objections on both side, and we're talking to folks to see what can be worked out. do republicans really want to restore the voting rights act, victoria? >> i think the lack of action speaks volumes. and what's underlying here is this notion of color blindness. the national review article talked about a color blind society. we rhe regrettably, we have never been a color blind society. hopefully one day we will be, but we're not yet. we need to go forward with civil rights. we need to understand what are the new channels. maybe they aren't explicit as they were in 1940s, 1950s, but they

bright line defense engages in policy advocacy on behalf of bayview hunter's point, mission district, selma, low income districts in san francisco. and one of the things that we have been proud to support is the local hiring ordinance that basically connects low income and local residents to construction jobs and guarantees that a percentage of those jobs go to san francisco residents. so we're about ensuring employment opportunities for communities across san francisco. >> is there a reason why bright line defense would lobby against community choice aggregation? >> and when was this, supervisor? >> during the vote on the community choice ordinance. >> i'm not aware of bright line itself as a organization lobbying against community choice aggregation. in fact i myself as an advocate worked on cchsf what became apparent to us as i expressed the last time my appointment was before this committee, was that there was no jobs plan yet behind the clean power sf program and until that had been articulated it was tough to support it, continue supporting it as i had done at least in my advocacy. so

that speech came on the heels of brutal attacks on civil rights workers in selma, alabama, at the handse police and a gang of sheriff deputies wealding bull whips, clubs and tear gas. the confrontation known as bloody sunday. it came a full year after johnson signed the civil rights act of 1964. one of the millions of americans who watched lbj's "we shall overcome" speech was 20-year-old john lewis. the civil rights activist one of the dozens who had been savagely beat on that bridge on bloody sunday. he watched the speech with dr. martin luther king, jr. telling npr that tears came down his face, dr. king started crying and we all cried. dr. king said to me, john, we will make it to montgomery and the voting rights act will be passed. and, indeed, it was passed. martin luther king, jr. and lbj the southern former congressman and senate leader whose voting record in congress included opposing anti-lynching voting rights and desegregation bills became unlikely allies in the push to prose a broad civil rights agenda. part of a phone call between the two men shortly after the assassination

and mary to selma hijacked. -- salma hayek. finally, in pop, they will not let it go. disney is driving kids and moms crazy. we will kick it off with what everyone is talking about. could it bp is with carl icahn and ebay? >> an agreement has been reached with carl icahn, ending the fight before the shareholders meeting. icahn has been pushing to separate ebay from paypal. >> i'm well aware of carl icahn push to separate ebay from paypal. >> we believe it is a no-brainer that paypal should be spun off. i do not think in this case that they should be together. there is no reason they should be together in our opinion. in fact, it would be helped by a management team that is separate and can go their own way. i think the multiple would go up dramatically, and also, the health of the company would be better. this is going to be an argument. >> oh, yes. his interviews over the phone and daily letters to ebay shareholders have made his mission abundantly clear to the investing public. he was also not too keen on the leadership of john donahoe. >> skype was going to be sold

. >> from union square to selma t new red lanes are a clear warning for most drivers to stay out.hicles, buses and taxis, allowed here. sfmta spokesperson paul rode said it's more reliable. >> the red transit only lane. we try to remind people that they're not supposed to be in the lane and that creates a bit of allowing. >> reporter: we wanted to see if drivers drivers would. red lanes have been on church street for a year. the pilot project test the idea. why are we still seeing the confusion? >> it doesn't say -- there's a little bit of sign, not that many signs. they didn't really advertise when they started it. >> reporter: advertising or not, rain won't be washing this paint away anytime soon. red lanes are here to stay. will they help uni run better? well, at least uni says yes. one of the biggest concerns is that the reliability, these transit only lanes really help to improve reliability. enforcing it is difficult. instead of having officers, not very possible, they have cameras actually on every single bus and that's able to give you a ticket. >> i kind of like the red l

have a whole host of dramatic moments gina these dramatic moments folks tend to be familiar with the selma march on the bridge. best march -- this march in particular, how did it begin? >> guest: it's a awe instinct store and begins in the minds and actions of one manned, james meredith. he is famous for integrating the university of mississippi in 1962, causing the so-called ole miss crith, the first african-american to attend this bastion of white privilege, led to severe resistance from white authorities, prompted a constitutional crisis for the kennedy administration to call in the national guard after not doing so at first. a great riot, two people died, and meredith spent two years in ole miss and faced incredible hardship, unconstant protection from federal marshals and mach of that began in his mind. a very singular individual man. he wasn't someone who has associated himself with a larger movement but he was a very determined to try to combat institutions of white supremacy. but of ole miss, meredith drifts off the rave dar screen and struggles to find his place in the larger stru

in a building you might be familiar with. [ chanting ] >> reporter: you've heard of the marches in selmathe clashes in birmingham, and the lunch counter sit-ins in greensboro. but do you know what happened here in san francisco? >> this building is one of the most important site in civil rights history. >> reporter: and it happened 50 years ago today. >> this event had a very significant but unrecognized impact on history. >> reporter: by the spring of 1964, the bay area's civil rights movement had enough momentum to mount its first large protest. a massive demonstration at the palace hotel one of the many san francisco businesses that refused to hire african- americans. and it worked. >> so after the palace hotel, the next stop was cadillac. and what they did, they just came in and they basically got in the way. >> reporter: and once again, it worked. >> the entire auto industry entered into agreements to hire more african-americans. >> reporter: a historian says photographs from that day reveal the secret to the movement's success. >> you remember in '63, they got dogs and fire hoses i

some people are comparing this to the march on selma. what do you think? do you agree with that?rth carolina protests that are moral monday, we've been covering them a really, really long time on our show. in part because we found it to be such an interesting strategy. part of what it was, was to actually encourage being arrested. because the protesters go into the state capitol and then with the recognition they were going to be arrested. in that way, it's very much like the demonstrations that we saw during the civil rights movement because the goal is, in fact, to be arrested. you didn't hope not to be. you hoped to be arrested because you were making a statement that, in fact, the way those laws are being implemented was unfair and unjust. in that strategy, it is very much like it. i think it is quite different in that this is a kind of broad agenda that includes reproductive rights, voting rights, issues around medicaid expansion and poverty, education funding, and with selma, it was very directly about a specific issue, and that was the voting rights issue. >> do you see th

attacked civil rights demonstrators, including now-congressman john lewis on the edmond pettis bridge in selma, alabama. >> even if we pass this bill, the battle will not be offense. it is not just negroes, but really it is all of us who must overcome the crippling legacy of bigotry and injustice. and we shall overcome. >> charlie franklin was the first african-american woman elected as mayor of any major southern city when she served as atlanta's mayor from 2002 to 2010. two terms. she's now the barbara jordan visiting professor at the lbj school of public affairs. dr. lonnie bunch, founding director of the smithsonian's national museum of african-american history an culture. somebody we've had on this show before. mayor franklin, i want to start with you. when it comes to what president carter said yesterday, basically a little tough talk, a little tough love talk which is to say that, you though, we're not celebrating something that happened 50 years ago. at the same time we need to deal with the realities of today. how do you look at the realities of today and where we are and what advance

have expanded across the south, and some have compared it to the events that are like the march on selmawell, it is some comparisons and it is sad for people who think about the protests in the south as a moment of strength for all of us, but it is clear when you look at the voter i.d. laws and ending early voting, and look at all of the ways in which the legislatures of certain states are trying to diminish the democracy by limiting the access to the vote, that poses a particularly challenging problem for us in terms ofpolitics, but there are other fronts that need to be fought. when you think of how muslim americans are treat ed ined in country, and women treated in access to reproductive rights and health care, and there is so much more to be done across a number of platforms and demographics in the nation right now. >> well, it does raise the question, and down in austin with the big summit that marks the 50th anniversary, goldie, they are having segment s ts on gay rights and segments of equal pay, and some of those issue s that are segments of this, and some people say, if we are t

king essentially said i'm going to do the job of making sure the job becomes right and selma, fair mindedns that might have been on the fence were outraged. so the situation was such that johnson could go to congress with that controversial bill. >> what about the fact they did not do voting rights in the original bill? this was very painful to the civil rights -- >> it was very difficult, the issue of voting rights was always central to the civil rights movement. think about the civil rights act of 1964. we breathe this like air. the ban on accommodations -- on my way here i was in a hotel room, big ball room. >> in baltimore. >> completely racially integ rated. think about the restaurants and theaters and parks. civil rights act of 1964 that desegregated those places. this is the act that made this possible. the other thing people don't recognize, a key part of the civil rights act of 1964 was brown versus board education what was decided in 1954 but to which there was tremendous resistance and it gave the department of justice the ability to sue school districts who wouldn't fly with b

. >> you're talking about bloody sunday, about the bridge, and what happened in selma. >> well, you knowonviolent fashion, to dramatize the need for voting rights action, for the congress to pass a strong voting rights law. and president johnson came to the congress and gave one of the most meaningful speeches any american president had given in modern time, on the whole issue of civil rights and voter rights. it was passed. it was signed into law. if it hadn't been for president johnson signing that bill, there would have been no barack obama as president of the united states. >> we see now in key states, where republicans control the legislature, attempts to turn things back and create new barriers for people voting. >> we see it all over. it's not just a southern thing. we see it in ohio. we see it in pennsylvania. we see it in arizona. it's not just in the american south. so there is a need for a stronger voting rights act. we don't want to go back, we want to go forward. we made too much progress to stand still, or to slide back. >> talk to me for a minute about dr. king. you met hi

the edmond-- bridge, the march from selma to montgomerie. i recently went to the 49th bridge crossing and it's just as inspirational today, not nearly as dangerous as it was in the 60s. but there was a lot of activity in the streets and churches. it was not unusual for the minister in my church to talk about the civil rights movement as part of his sermon. and for there to be dinner table conversation about it. so i would say that most of us who were young people were included because we were included in the so-called adult conversations at one level. and then in college and in high school there was lots and lots of discussion. >> and in a place such as atlanta, changing public accommodation laws had an immediate impact. >> absolutely. and my generation of young people in the south grew up in the segregated south. something that i didn't experience, but everyone almost 70, between '60s and '70s had that direct experience and it's really hard to talk about that today to young people because they can't imagine there were places had in atlanta

king as a negotiator for campaigns in selma and birmingham that resulted in the voting rights act. ambassador young, thank you so much for being here. >> a pleasure to join you. >> thank you for that. in your op-ed today, you called the voting system, quote, broken. what specifically do you see as the biggest problem that needs to change? >> well, the biggest problem is that governments don't want everybody to vote. people are trying a variety of ways to limit the vote, when the one thing that our democracy requires is full participation. it's not just minorities. it's the senior citizens, it's people without transportation, it's the poor. and our democracy to be vibrant and real, dealing with the issues that affect all our lives, needs to be open to everybody. of the top 150 nations in the world, we're about 1/38th in voter turnout. that's obscene. america's ideals of freedom require us to be number one. we could do that simply with the congress coming together and saying, let's have a new voting rights bill, or the president could simply issue an executive order saying that our s

i happen to watch yesterday the new aero morris selma on donald film.ld -- errol morris this line sayingce of evidence is not the evidence of absence and it's an interesting phrase and it's the same thing he said to me. he had been prosecuting in his 28 years any number of rape cases that did not have dna evidence. has a case at least victim willing to testify. >> this was a victim or a woman who said this happened. that, she was examined by an nurse of that night at duke hospital. saw thatirst time, i reported and is the first time it had ever been made public. everyone speculated what was in the report and i saw what was in it. rightly, it's very convincing that something happened and she stuck with this story throughout. she stuck with it when i saw her in prison when she was awaiting trial for murder, a separate matter. for murderingjail her boyfriend and it's a complicated story. her.lieved he believed the nurse and he believed the police. like she is now in jail. his life has pretty much my room and -- been ruined by this. >> he has been disbarred. he lost his law license. >> what

we will march from selma to montgomery. dr. king and mr. lewis made a march to montgomery and president johnson passed the voting rights act. cripplingcome the legacy of bigotry and injustice, it is because of the courage and fortitude of lyndon johnson, martin luther king, john lewis. ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming john lewis. [laughter] [applause] >> thank you. friends, my sisters , i have a special honor to introduce the keynote speaker for the 50th anniversary celebration of the civil rights act of 1964. appropriateting and that barack obama would join us ofay to honor the legacy lyndon johnson. was born in a dangerous time in american history. it is a time when people were arrested and taken to jail for sitting beside each other on a bus. it was against the law for black and white people to ride in the or stay in the same hotel. and lives wereed threatened for taking a drink at a water fountain or sharing a restaurant once counter. -- lunch counter. there were signs everywhere that said white and colored. order onsed

king, from selma to montgomery, that we ever would get the civil rights and the voting rights. ut when we got it, somehow the dixicrats disappeared and all of a sudden they came up in the south as republicans. republicans that really hate this president as much as their predecessors probably hated abe lincoln. and it was all about slavery. all about slavery. and you go to the parts of south america, the caribbean islands, mexico, all you see are remnants of slavery. even puerto rico. but here in this country, where we thought we had broken out of the civil war, what the heck does it take for people to nderstand that you shouldn't hate the president so much that you're ready to destroy the republican party, the entire congress, but most of all the people of this great country. we have been able to take people of all colors, all blood, all languages and they didn't come here and just fall in love with each other. they hardly knew each other. but somehow they set aside became ferences and the power of the world and that power just wasn't in dollars and cents and the ability to hav

system of law. 1965 johnson was very cautious about voting rights, which pushed him to do it was the selmah and what happened in alabama to make americans say, this is the time. so what is wonderful about our society is that when it's working well, you've got the grass roots, these things happening, congress responding to it and a president at the top. you need all these elements. >> michael mentioned it there, the majorities that president johnson as a democrat joined in congress. this is one of the most productive congresss of all time. 295 to 140. i think in the senate it was 65 to 35. the democrats had that margin. so totally different. but jonathan, i wonder when we look there was civil rights, voting rights, great society and that was in the wake of the '64 election. there was also a backlash in 1966. they lost a ton of those seats in the house. and lbj's popularity plummeted. i wonder if you see the beginnings of really the modern story of politics and the modern political divide we now see. >> the backlash. the president -- michael said that johnson made the moral case for all the

selma, thoseobile, are the cities that you think of. tuscaloosa is a more moderate southern city.it first started public 1800s, manyhe districts did not bother to open public schools to buy children. won awspaper had pulitzer prize. they had a reputation for being more moderate and progressive. as we know, that does not necessarily mean that when it comes to schools that officials are going to support integration. from newy is coming york. caller: hello. i am from new york. raised up in white schools because of my mother. i live in a virtually white complex right now. boys,ing we did teach our they had great learning skills in new york. they all went to college and finished college. i was allowed to stay at home to raise my boys until i could go to business school. in a corporate firm. realize now that we were .eading books i don't like to say black and white. we are all one color to me. i would love to leave these united states if i could. i hate it now. i don't vote anymore. i stopped voting a long time ago. host: mary, thank you very much. any comments for that color? -- caller

move on to steve in selma, north carolina.ler: really do appreciate the work you are doing on this. things have changed so much with doctors. if you go in a doctors office now, i've noticed that if you tell them you're on medicare, oh, boy, they give you a look like the scourge of death. and the thing that some of these doctors may complain about what they get paid, i go to a cardiologist, and the only way i get to see my doctor on the visit is to ask him specifically . most of the time if you go to a p.a.ar doctor, you see a pa is't know what they'rir getting paid but i'm sure they're charged you for a full doctor visit. and that doesn't seem quite to be right. i know things are changing. that,bout your comment on and i will go, i know you have other callers. --octor with eye infection she said yes, you do have an infection. let me call the eye doctor. very nice man, got me straightened out. i stayed filling the application and seeing her for her to tell me i need to go to another doctor and she charged me $325 for 45 minutes

so they've been selma we're overdue for the big one for how many years and you know . you get any little shake you like and what would you know what would in a classic example is a plane to know a plane and know it was that it's crazy you know i mean you know just all you do is you know present at least a part of our wonderment yeah do a television show but that's probably go two years yeah i mean it happens enough times that the people on the plane have more die but they come back out of the water after. you left film for t.v. others have done this other act does it do kevin bacon kevin spacey robin wright. is greg kinnear is the new thing is going to toe the old days actors were about to tell it was yeah well i think the with what i really think is that there's no more line in between the two you know we as actors an artist you go where the work is and you know we're taking chances on television with the audience to tell stories that maybe don't work in the format of a film which is finite but i think the lines are blurred i think now gable to do both and then you ha
