you said that voters in st. louis have voted for you because a black woman has lived experiences that no others do. explain that. >> well, thank you, again, for having me, reverend al. it's great to see my good friend, mayor greg fischer. we've been friends were years. and the reason why st. louisens elected me is because, you know, a mayor with lived experiences with national relationships and a background in health care is what this moment demands. we're in the middle of a global pandemic. i have a masters in health administration, i'm also a single mom and i lead from a different place. my son is the most adorable 13-year-old boy in the world, and the reason why -- and he is the reason why i'm here. i want to make sure that i create a st. louis for him and other children like him have the opportunity to thrive. >> now, during your campaign, you said that the city of st. louis had lost 21,000 african-americans since the last census. what in your view is at the heart of that exodus. i ask because, as you discussed wi

i think st. louisrdue for a truth and reconciliation commission because we have had systemic policies that have increased inequalities for decades and for generations. and that has to stop. >> you talk about maybe reconciliation commission and starting that piece of the puzzle. how do you start the conversation initially? you said it's time for the tough conversations. you can't avoid them any longer. do you -- is it your sense that there's a willingness to just start the conversation, to come to the table? >> yes, absolutely. because when i look at the support that i received across this city it was multigenerational and multiethnic, multiracial. so i won 18 out of 28 wards and not only in march but also in -- yesterday or a couple of days ago. and so that signals to me that we are ready to have these tough conversations. and it has to come from leadership. it has to come because -- you lead my example. >> we've talked so much over the last couple of weeks about the new voting law in georgia. things c

st. louis and the st. anged quite a bit since 2014 when michael brown was shot and killed by a ferguson police officer, both politically and policywise. but i think that they feel like, well, this does bring a sense of closure to one incident. there's a whole lot of ways to go when it comes to overhauling police departments and engendering trust between black people here and police departments around the region. >> yang: staying with you, jason. of course, in st. louis-- in ferguson last year in the midst of the protests over the george floyd death, ferguson elected its first black player. st. louis itself elected its first black mayor. has this changed people's attitudes? is there hope now there's going to be a greater connection between the communities and city hall? >> certainly there is hope. one of the things that i think people around the country need to realize is, as i've already said, michael brown was shot and killed seven years ago. and it took almost seven years see monumental political change,

so st. louis down to new orleans and they're doing this in order to challenge for and vex us military operations transportation and commerce so today we're going to kind of talk a little bit about how that unfolds. okay, i'm gonna try and share my screen with you all if this works. um, yes, i mean a thumbs up awesome. so we're gonna look at confederate boat burners and naval guerrillas along the mississippi river and i want to start by comparing two different boat burning incidents that happen in the civil war one happens in may of 1861 shortly after the war begins and the second one's gonna happen after the fall of vicksburg in august of 1863. and as i'm telling these two events, i want you think about how people respond to them because the responses are quite distinct. so, there we go. i'm gonna move this so i can see. so the first event is going to happen in new orleans, may 6th 1861 within weeks of the first volley at fort sumter new orleans is going to bear witness to an altogether different

and i would like to thank you for hosting st. louis. because when i am here, you are hosting st. louis. i am proud to be standing with you. so a few years ago the green new deal transformed our movement, reframed it as an economy wide effort for primary racial economic justice and the green the new deal focuses on green jobs and green infrastructure and i know that i don't have to preach. and that includes people like me who live paycheck to paycheck and we have the ability to push forward transformative change, the green new deal together, we are building a body of lettuce ration that applies to commitments of the job like my sister said, racial justice and trying to have each proposal that we all look forward to. and in my first washington month in office, i know that there have been a lot of talk about the need to gather data and that environmental justice system, to be sure that we invest a lot of the green new deal spending and communities that are from minors of this crisis, communities like mine in st. louis and queens and other communities across the country, those that ar

st. louischael brown case in ferguson, a flashpoint in this whole issue. what has been the reaction in st. louis? it's jason: been a reaction of relief and a lot of surprise. with the michael brown case, there was never any sort of trial on a state or federal level. to see a police officer be guilty of a litany of charges for killing on unarmed black man, i think a lot of activists are not used to that sort of thing. st. louis and the region have changed quite a bit since 2014 when michael brown was killed by a police officer, both politically and policy wise, but while they feel this does bring a sense of closure to one incident, there's a lot of ways to go to engender trust between police departments here and around the region. john: in ferguson last year in the midst of the protes over the george floyd death, ferguson elected its first black mayor. st. louis elected its first black mayor. has this changed people's attitudes? is there hope there is going to be a greater connection between com

her older brothers were moved from delta, louisiana to st. louis in the late 1870s, and they were part of what was called the exodus movement. so it was one of the first major migrations of african-american's their family minister curtis pollard had been a state senator so during reconstruction 90% of their parish was black that meant a lot there were a lot of black elected officials and he was chased out of madison parish by the ku klux klan in 1879 and her brothers followed him to saint louis again records that are in the library of congress and the national so i was really able to rely on those senate hearings about that exodusters movement in order to tell their story once they got to st. louis. they joined saint paul ame church, which had a history of taking in recent migrants, and then they learned how to be barbers. well, that's a good segue to this question. what what's surprised you or amazed you the most in your research? so i just like other people who are who are my age who had hurt a madam walker, you know, she started a hair care comp

caller: yes, i'm calling because i live in st. louis, missouri. in st. louis, missouri, the crime rate, the murder rate is highest in the united states. i don't understand why congress doesn't do something about gun rights. it seems that every state has an open carry law. it just seems like nobody, they've all got ak-47, these big guns. they need to be banned across the united states. as so far as the united states is concerned on voting laws, i think we ought to have the same voting laws across the united states. host: back to crime there were you live in florida. what do you think is the main cause? caller: because of gun laws, ok? nobody knows what we have had babies killed. and now you can carry your gun on the metro link. if you have a license you can carry the gun. something needs to be done. nationwide as so far as gun violence is concerned, people keep saying that people, gun scale. people don't kill, people kill people ok? and i'm very upset myself. we need to do something across the united states. host: that is surely in missouri. -- shirley in

those teams were located in st. louis, cincinnati, other places where there were large german immigrant populations, and they brought with them a popular hand-held treat, the hot dog. it was easy to produce, easy to grill, easy to carry out around. that made it a popular item to sell at the ball parks. not only did german immigrants introduce the hot dog to baseball, but waves of immigrants that came to this country adopted baseball as their own sport, used it as a way to become americans. so in this next case we're going to see more of the immigrant story in baseball. this case is about the promise of baseball, about the immigrant experience, how baseball was a path to prosperity for a lot of immigrant groups. it was a way to find your american identity as a player or as a fan. the idea also is, if you're following a team, whether you're a blair or not, if you're following a team, if you're learning the rules, you are actually taking steps in becoming an american because you're becoming part of the national sport, and if

we will get that out of james in st. louis.sk you about the number they gave me emea pause, a 75% vaccination rate. is that feasible in the scientific literature? >> it is feasible to get up to 75%, but if you look at the whole population, we have a vaccine only approved for ages 16 and up, and a lot of the population are below 16. i think that will be difficult, until we get pediatric indications. then we have to deal with vaccine hesitancy. it will be a challenge to get to that level, but i do not look at that number and say that is the end-all, even though it may be the herd immunity threshold. do we get enough of the high risk populations vaccinated, enough of our nursing home patients vaccinated, that we never have hospitals into crisis. i tend to differ from some people because i focus on hospital capacity driving people's behavior, because this vaccine is causing the virus to lose its ability to put hospitals into crisis. every day, as a vaccine goes into someone's harm, the virus became is more -- becomes more tame. we

they already cannot get enough police in minneapolis, they will stop responding like they did in st. louis and south chicago and in indianapolis. then it will become like those cities. and my real concern is this, in minnesota -- i'm from minnesota -- 90% of the people who do not live in minneapolis or st. paul have little or no interaction to black people -- with black people at all. white privilege somehow affects policing in minneapolis is a ridiculous thought. let's be clear. every one of these cities that they are talking about is democratically run, and has been. they have black liberal police chiefs, fire chief, city councils, boards of education, on and on. my question is this, if they have that, if it is systemic racism in those areas, why do they keep voting in the very same people that have not solved the problem? it seems mind-boggling and crazy to me that they keep doing it. and when you look out there, the only answer is this, too -- the idea it is just the cops, the rationale that u can say it is just the cops does not help the black community heal themselves. until they sta

it was made in 1904 by the libbey company specifically for the world's fair that was happening in st. louis that year oftentimes companies would make really grand works for the fair as a way of showcasing their greatest abilities and what they could really do. so this is a piece of cut glass it would have been blown as what was called a blank without any decoration on it and the glass blowers would have been passed it off to the cutters and then that would have gone through several stages of cutting where you first rough out a design and then you go in and you really make the cuts deep and precise more precise the wonderful thing about cut glass is that it has this really brilliant look to it. so when the light shines on it it reflects and refracts and it makes this kind of beautiful. look so the type of glass that libby was making here at that time period was brilliant cut glass. it's what you think of as that very heavy sparkly with the beautiful designs that just look like diamonds when the light hit it and so from the 1880s until probably the 1920s was the era of brilliant cut glass and
