the study of negro alliance and history. it was intended to encourage coordinated teaching of black history among public school systems. in 1969, the black united states at penn state university in ohio proposed expanding the celebration to a month. the university agreed to do so the following year. with support from president gerald ford, the president officially recognized black history month, along with the bi-centennial celebration. this is something that has been historically important, and it has not changed today, and so we ask that the board stand behind apaac and continue to support all of our school sites to celebrate black history month. if we want to really get in and interrupt this system that's plaguing our children, where they're not performing, let them celebrate where they came from and let them make the great strides that they continue to make. let them see that they came from kings and queens, and not just slaves, and they'll begin to see the positive changes that they will continue to make. thank you. >> good evening. board president, board commissioners, my name is betty robinson harris, and i'm the proud early educator in this di

since the 1820's and 1830's when as attorney general, he had begun to work out his theory about black citizenship, and we know his conclusion that black people cannot be citizens of the united states. >> but give some background to tell it's a bit more about the united states. >> the total population in the 31 million plus people and there were about half a million free blacks in the united states. and today, the free blacks live in a certain part of the country? >> free blacks, there were free blacks in the south and the north. a lot of times after emancipation, if a slave was emancipated, they would leave the jurisdiction, but they had family that kept them in the same place where they were slaves. it was not uncommon to find free blacks in the south and the north. >> in urban centers like st. louis, like baltimore, we have across the increasingly -- across the country we have increasingly growing population of of african-americans. taney has the largest population in the country, 25,000 people. that helps us to begin to understand his touchspoken. >> and the decision they would make would affect the free states as well. >> absolutely. these are men and women, and boys and girls

the north korean officials won't talk to them. we think of north korea as a black hole for information for the united states, and it is a black hole of information for their allies as well. mitchell: 83 crewmen were on board? susan: one of them tragically killed. what was life -- susan: what was life like for them? mitchell: horrible. for the first couple of weeks, they were beaten and tortured mercilessly. beaten with clubs, forced to sit on radiators, terrible things in order to get confessions out of them. they wanted to humiliate the united states. family wanted to demonstrate to its people how strong they were. they would sign confessions saying they were so sorry they had done this. the american government had sent them on this terrible mission they never wanted. they were so a test with what they had seen in north korea. -- impressed with what they had seen in north korea. so for the first couple of weeks, it is pretty brutal. there is another wave of theings toward the end, most horrible experience any of them could have imagined. they are released right before christmas. them out of the service. they are given almost no b

. >> so, you had an even, i don't know, is it a bigger task to capture the first black president of the united statess it very, very, stressful, trying to figure out how best to representative him? >> well, stressful wouldn't begin to say what this was. it was daunting on a level that i don't think i ever had to c contend with. here, much of my work was based on, people i meet in the streets. casually. rtraits things you see in rtr t great museums throughout the world. in this particular case, i am dealing with the leader of the free world. dealing with the president of the united states. and in that regard, all bets are off the table. he is a singularity. we don't go towards historical precedent, fashion how we picture him. i wanted to create something that was totally new and unique. part was sitting down with him and getting the terms of what he wanted in a painting. how he saw himself. and, you know, honestly he was not one who felt really comfortable with the process. so much of this posing and picture taking has a lot to do with vanity, ego, self, positioning of the self in the world publicly.

rico and the botched effort and the inability of president trump to show and get true leadership to show empathy as a human being has become a black eye in the united statesa black eye for the trump administration. it is so different from what the american people have been doing. >> i was going to say, this program is broadcast around the world and across the united states and the american people have been incredibly generous. so i just want to dig down because we reached out to fema, and they said yes, we are cutting off new supplies, but we have stockpiles and they specifically said 46 million liters of water, 4 million meals and snacks and they told us they believe that's sufficient for your transition needs. is it sufficient? this is what they don't understand and they've had four months to understand it. you cannot continue to treat the puerto rican situation as a standard operating procedure. fema was telling us around the first week, after september 20th when we have no elect rhys tric use our telephone or the internet connection to just call in and just register to get aid. now what fema doesn't get and they have since been forced and i want to sa

the north korean officials won't meet with them, they won't talk to them. we think of north korea as a black hole for information for the united states, and it is a black hole of information for their allies as well. susan: so there were 83 cruise onboard? 83 crew on board. one of them tragically killed. it was horrible. if you asked anyone what the most horrible place you can imagine is, north korean prison camp would be at the top of your list. for the first couple of weeks, they were beaten and tortured mercilessly. really primitive stuff. beaten with clubs, forced to sit on radiators. just really terrible things in order to get confessions out of them. north koreans wanted propaganda. they wanted to humiliate the united states so that the kim family wanted to demonstrate to its people how strong they were. the beat these men and tortured them so they would sign confessions saying they were so sorry they had done this. the american government had sent them on this terrible mission and they never wanted to go and were apologizing to the korean people. they were so impressed with what they had seen in north korea. so for the first couple of weeks while the

advocate.rdent he commissioned the first black officers in the united states army. question.ts to my -- youht traditionally mentioned you started out as a democrat, but i thought historically they did not care about the issue of slavery. can you talk about how his views changed? >> i think it is fair to say that before the war and before he became secretary of war, he was sort of a closet anti-slavery man. he never gave a public anti-slavery speech in the 1850's. heletters to his friends, from time to time expressed anti-slavery views. he also hung out with friendly to slavery democrats like james buchanan. it the moment you become secretary of war that the scales fall from his eyes. he sees the war in quite a different way once he is in the war department. many of the black americans are camped around the union army camps. he sends folks out to investigate the condition. he starts pressing lincoln very early, we need black troops. it is a little bit of a southern conversion -- a sudden conversion. he never actually formally abandons the democratic party label. dayo

the united states. >> you're part of the advocacy group that serves undocumented black immigrants. how big is that population and how are you getting your message out? >> we have 619,000 undocumented black peopleepresented in the united states. as a result of that,oe seek send our message by making sure that our voicere amplifieamplif locally, statewide, and nationally. so webo go it by doing op-eds, interviews, videos that showcase thediversity for the immigrant community. something that we often don't talk about enough. comments thatve are made by the president and his administration about blank hole counies and he's referring to haiti and countries on thenefrican con, that's what it look for a lot of people to understand that immigration issue.lack >> what has life been like for you as an undocumented immigrani ing under the trump administration? >> chaotic would be an understatement. in that each day we definitty do now what's going to happen. a few weeks ago, we had the tonmp administraas well as leaders from both parties, give a press conference orhave a meeting in the midst o

expect to hear from the leerds of congress and do expect to hear from the president of the united states. on this day. >> barry blackalso the chaplain for the united states senate which will be also important. >> what do you think he did to have such a direct impact, reverend on political figures in this country? >> well, you know, first of all it's an honor. i was a faith adviser to two presidents and you can advise in many ways on issues or actually be their pastor and be invited in the oval office. for him to have that impact across the lines, democrats and republicans, is major. but i think the reason he had such an impact because he hit it with the media. the media had a major impact. he was the first tell advantage gift and first one when hearst zoomed in on him, we're going to make america's pastor, media makes a difference. he was a man with a message and had the media on his side. >> stand by, we're going to take a quick break. when we come back, the country honors the late reverend billy graham. somehow we always leave packing to the last minute. guys, i have a couple of things to wash we got this. even on

donald trump cares about black unemployment with all that he has done to disparage african-americans, including his five-year attack on the first black president of the united states of america? and as you rightly point out, the declining african-american unemployment rates started under unemployment rates started under barack obama's presidency and the trend line continued. citizen in all, black unemployment is twice the rate of white unemployment in america and is nothing to celebrate. there is still a tremendous amount of work to be done. but the president clearly doesn't understand that. and the reason why i believe many members of the congressional black caucus sat in stone cold silence is because this president has no authenticity or credibility on this issue and many many others. >> i want to talk to you about this russia investigation because you mentioned that. the former vice president joe biden spoke with our own chris cuomo today. biden said he would tell president trump not to sit down with robert mueller. here is why. >> the president has some difficulty with precision. >> that's one of the most subtle things i've ever heard you say, joe biden. >> on

so if you take the black unemployment rate in the united states, it is at record lows.ight percentage points under president obama and has fallen another one percentage point under donald trump. i think donald trump deserves some credit. and in the tax plan there's certain things that gave large amounts of tax-cutting money to corporations and they're happy about that. i hope that will lead to higher growth in the economy. i want that to be true. i think it's a little bit dish don't know what the correct word is but inconsistent for the president of the state of the union to pretend like he did it all and 60% of the american people credit president obama for the strong economy and about 35% -- >> tucker: so patrick byrne, the immigration question is one oft often discussed in economic terms and if you don't have people coming in the economy will collapse. is that your perspective on it? >> absolutely not. we have to at some point choose between open borders and a social safety net. he's a true libertarian. i think the government has a responsibility to govern and they w

the world is going to start over. >> it is a box office hit. you know that. marvel's black panther took in $240 million in the united states on the opening weekend. and disney says this movie had the second highest grossing opening of all times behind star wars, the force awakens. >>> yesterday, students in oakland were treated to a special screening of the block buster new movie. about 250 middle and high school students went on a field trip to the grand lake theater in oakland and saw the movie which was directed biage oakland native. all about a black super hero. and the kids loved it. >> when you think of super heroes, you might automatically go to superman and batman and all these other people but you don't really hear about any super heroes that are african- american. >> now airbnb bought the tickets for the students and the chaperons, and before the movie, the students were invited to round table discussions with african- american executives. >>> it will be the chinese new year parade in three days. final preparations are underway. last night we got a behind the scenes look at this year's opening act. it's a flash m

so if you take the black unemployment rate in the united states, it is at record lows.ight percentage points under president obama, it has fallen another one percentage point under donald trump. i think donald think donald trump deserves some credit and in the tax plan, there are certainly things that gave large amounts of tax cutting 22 corporations and they are quite happy about that. and i hope that that will lead to higher growth in the economy. i want that to be true. but i think it's a little -- i don't know what the correct word is -- maybe inconsiderate for the president in the state of the union to trypr to pretend le he did it all and i think the fact that 60% of the american people credit president obama for their strong economy, and 35% -- >> tucker: there is no doubt that people are grateful for president obama. patrick, the immigration question is one that is often discussed in economicat terms in the idea is that if you don't have millions upon millions of people with less than a high school education coming into your country, at all times, then your econ

we're talking about the president of the united states here. i think that in blackistory month, we need to reaffirm that every administration, whether it be democratic or republican, needs to reflect the make-up, not just of once, quote, political supporters, but should represent the make-up of the nation. that is a basic value we all share, i think. >> thank you very much were being with me this morning, mark. and tomorrow the national urban league is launching a podcast named "for the movement," check it out, good luck to you, mark. >> thank you, reverend. >>> still ahead, it's the action movie gaining hype like we haven't seen in years. what is the secret appeal of "black panther"? we'll be back. sfx: muffled whistle text alert. i'm your phone, stuck down here between your seat and your console, playing a little hide-n-seek. cold... warmer... warmer... ah boiling. jackpot. and if you've got cut-rate car insurance, you could be picking up these charges yourself. so get allstate, where agents help keep you protected from mayhem... ...like me. mayhem is everywhere.

one of the thing president trump has been highly critical of protest movements here in the united states, and i think there's no question that his criticism of athletes like colin kaepernick a blacklives matter protesters here in the united states have no transfer to other countries we are seeing that oppression of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of peaceful protest being crushed in many, many countries around the world,, including more than 20 in africa, several in the americas, also in asia. that's an alarming situation for those of us who believe activism as part of the solution for human rights. >> question is also for you, if you don't mind. he was taken strong on the atrocities committed against the rohingya in myanmar. is unsung suki also responsible for those atrocities? what are you calling used to do on the situation now? >> so she has a role to play in this but she doesn't command they myanmar military. the person who is in the command and control, that are military personnel. a person who is the head of the myanmar military is a man called -- [inaudible] and we would expect his name to be in every newspaper and in every television report where we're ta

some are talking about the tension it depicts between black africans and black americans also something about the power of the united states of africa and its politics was a generous nigeria and seemed to some of his thoughts one of the big talking points you'd say are the gender dynamics in the movie the women were given really probably their roles in the politics of what kind of itself you know that there's debate and to discuss and question in the self-sufficiency policy whether or not it's international trade with the economy one of the fictional country is i would also look at local politics and i said it's out of country control how much of the hi tech advancement washes down to write a little kind of video that get to be so much in the movie itself it is only so much you can you know fit into two hours but i think the file africans the fact that this is how you scale movie draws a lot of inspiration from real african cultures from if you will get to south africa to kenya and even for myself as a nigerian that was really good to see on screen. so much to talk about today with me to do is a journalist based in dakar s

by the end of the campaign, trump was not saying black voters vote for me, he was saying black voters don't vote at all. >> it was a president of the united states thanking people for not voting on the basis of race is outrageous. i would say this is not a normal segment, but not a normal year. thank you to you both. >>> up ahead, bob mueller sending a message to any lawyer involved in the russian probe. and someone who was in the trump mansion is now speaking out on that alleged fair in the new yorker. so why accept it from your allergy pills? most pills don't finish the job because they don't relieve nasal congestion. flonase allergy relief is different. flonase relieves sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, plus nasal congestion, which pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. and 6 is greater than 1. start your day with flonase for more complete allergy relief. flonase. this changes everything. pepsoriasis does that. it was tough getting out there on stage. i wanted to be clear. i wanted it to last. so i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. and keeps on working. now? they
