foreign minister margo wal strom joins me as years of diplomacy comes to a head and america opens itsst memorial to more than 4,000 lynching victims. equal justice activist brian stevenson confronts america's history of racial terror as a prelude to healing. ♪ ♪ ♪ >>> good evening, everyone. and welcome to the program. i am christiane amanpour in london. on the korean peninsula right now, preparations are under way for the making of modern history itself. on friday kim jong-un will become the first north korean leader to cross the border into the south for an unprecedented meeting with the republic's president moon jae-in. rehearsals have been taking place throughout the day and officials from both countries met on the northern side earlier in the week. these nations share a unique heritage, but recent history has seen their identities polarized and their families divided, and yet, there is also another side to this story. one nestled thousands of miles away in sweden, unbeknownst to most, stockholm has for decades been the diplomatic channel mediating relationships between washington

progress before trump was elected president and i think the historical moment that we're in preceded strom you know look around the american landscape you find all sorts of institutions in the media in the church at universities corporations that are looking at their past. many universities in the united states right now are looking at the role of slavery in the history of their universities many churches are vacant passions about the role that they played in supporting segregation in the united states the new york times has just started publishing a series of obituaries. women that they ignored when they had made important significant historical figures whose deaths were nort so this is a moment of reflection in american culture generally but it frankly it actually received strong. and i think that it might be more open i mean. you know but i absolutely agree with your point that confession is not enough. that one repairman's but then one would use to do better in future so the question is when a university or a magazine. we help shape that oppressive racial well then what you do about wh

democrats into the republican party so for instance john connolly the democrat becomes a republican and strom thurmond becomes a republican and john lindsay, the republican from the democrat and other cases where liberal republicans joined the democratic party. this starts a long process. it's extenuating by mcgovern in 72 because again, mcgovern is the nominee logic dictates he should take a more conservative running mate but of course the convention is a disaster because of eagleton and he was also a liberal and in the sense because the process of sending more conservative democrats out of the party and attracting more liberal republicans so bite 1980 and after both parties have pretty much nominated only right of center are mostly right of center nominees and the democratic party is nominated mostly or all left of center nominees so we have now the polarization of the two parties that didn't exist that used to have conservative democrats and republicans so they could talk to each other in compromise. today you have these two polarized parties that too don't talk to each other except to yel

. >> good afternoon, commissioners, bill strom, public affairs. i'll just mention some of the highlights from the report that is in your packet. you have heard assistant director ron tom talk about where we are with the cost recovery legislation, the mayor did sign that on the ninth of march and, therefore, in 30 days that will will be in effect. so i think that we're in a good position on that rather important element of our tall building aspect. we also mentioned earlier about the accessible entrance business program and supervisor tang met with the director and the deputy director sweeney and the office of the small business and some other folks. there's been a fair amount of comments coming in from small businesses to the supervisor about how much time may be needed in order to meet the initial compliance deadline for these checklists that was going to be may 23rd. she has agreed in principle to extend that out. we're thinking probably to a deadline closer toward the end of the year that will give people a little more opportunity. as was menti

strom thurmond, the democrat, becomes a republican. john lindsay, the republican, becomes a democrat. and other cases where liberal republicans joined the democratic party. so this starts a long process. now, it's extenuated by mcgovern in '72 because, again, mcgovern is the nominee. logic dictates he should pick a more conservative running mate to produce a unified convention. but, of course, the convention's a disaster because of eagleton. he ends up with sarge shriver who was admittedly a wonderful, wonderful man and a wonderful, wonderful family, but he was also a liberal x. in this sends -- begins the process of sending more conservative democrats out of the party and attracting more liberal republicans. so by 1980 and here thereafter is that both parties have pretty much nominated only right of center or mostly right of center nominees in the republican party. the democrat party has nominated mostly or all left of center nominees. so we have now the polarization of the two parties that didn't exist. you know, you used to have con
