the black king as the real king. and what i've tried to show is that king really didn't see it as the black or the white. he didn't think like that. he did think in terms of black audiences or white audiences, but when i said to john lewis like this vulgar, bawdy preacher talk, and those guys were unbelievable, you know, that's how they let loose at the end of the day, quipping and laughing. and john lewis, congressman lewis was saying i was close to king, but i wasn't part of the work-a-day staff. so king didn't talk that way. you want to call that black talk, and in the book i'm more or precise about this, or is it really white masculine talk with people who happen to be black? so the same thing. when king gave his first sermon at ebeneezer baptist, he could have gone to the folk pulpit, but he took a sermon structure from harry 'emmer because he loved listening to those liberal white ministers, mccracken at riverside church, you know, ralph mead, all of these incredible white liberal -- it was the white preachers he liked. so it breaks down because king preached white to black audiences and black to wh

and, as i said earlier, it eliminates the black-white achievement gap. these officers include -- include students involved parents and active social life have greater opportunities and choices in the future. if we look, for example, at issues like the minimum wage can we recognize of course that emotionally this is a winner. people love to think about the consequences of raising the minimum wage, but i would like to submit that often people don't think about the long-term consequences of raising the minimum wage because we live in a world where people act and make decisions on the basis of something called incentives. such an increase actually hurts minorities. it actually hurts teenagers, it hurts those that don't have skills in the long run, because minimum wage jobs are usually entry-level positions filled by employees with limited work experience and few job skills. when the government forces employers to pay their workers more than a jobs productivity demands, employers in order to stay in business generally respond by hiring fewer hours of low skill

civil rights leaders began to identify justice on the basis of social cosmetics, including how much stuff blacks did or did not have compared to whites. the size of homes, the number of college degrees, income disparities, law school admission rates, loan approvals and the like. instead of whether or not blacks are treated as equals in our social structures, equal treatment by our legal and social institutions may yield unexpected results, but it remains a better measurement of justice then creating results we want. one misstep in the movement beginning in the mid-1960s on into the 1970s was not recognized that the most successful minority groups in america where those who pursued economic mobility, with the marketplace instead of politics. so when you look at asian immigrants, when you look at the history of in america, gives the other subdominant cultures who chose the marketplace as a means of social and economic mobility as opposed to politics. now much of this erosion has to do with our understanding of the role of religion. alexis de tocqueville cautioned the question on democracy in america that the pursuit of liberty would ou

the poll. in 2004 there was an increase among whites, among latinos and among blacks. hat's interesting is actually in 2008, the increase in the youth vote really came from black and latino youth. so we saw a shift in who young white voters were four in 2008. many more voters for democrats than it did in the past but there was no real increase in the number of white voters. does an actual increase in the number of black youth voters and latino youth voters. much of a we talk or we talk about kind of the outpouring of support for president obama in 2008, a lot of that came from young black voters. again, if we center young black people in our analyses of american politics, it can make us question our assumptions such a young people are not political gimmick what is the take away, the future of american politics? >> dictate what is that really we can't understand and prepare for the future of american politics in less we understand those who are most marginal and often excluded from the political discourse. in this case i want to suggest we have the center young black peo

hall south to make rutgers recognize its responsibility to the black community by forcing the university to reconcile its identity crisis as a white school in a black city. the city of newark became a contested space in the 1960s, one that had been a vehicle of upward mobility for whites, but offered bleak prospects for its increasing black population. the demand for equality and access to higher education became vital in a city whose job opportunities continued to decline for working class residents while racial tensions depressed the quality of life. rut fwers used it. the university emerged as a hero in the memory of the protest because according to the narrative created by rutgers it was challenged by students and in response became an open and multiracial environment. the collective memory produced through the commemorative process fails to attribute the role of post 1965 immigration appearance in the current diversity of the student body demographics. it also celebrates the education opportunity fund as an outcome of the protests even though the program was a state initiative that precedes the sit-in and today provides suppo

black student on the college campuses across the united states to claim a new unapologetic but politically engaged black and proud identity. it was not only cultivated in the south, but also predominantly white colleges in the north. the rutgers newark campus was no exception. during the second semester of the 1966/67 academic year, richard w. roper, one of 20 black students enrolled at the time, was elect president of the naacp campus chapter. roper and hits like minded colleagues wanted social justice and demanded greater democratic access. they began to push for more radicalized direction of the group fueled by national debates, assassination of dr. king and malcolm x, protests about integration, state you r power and freedom. a new organization was launched power and freedom. a new organization was launchedr and freedom. a new organization was launched and freedom. a new organization was launched and freedom. a new organization was launched. the black organization of students, or boss, established a powerful narrative of justice, peaceful discontent and equitable opportunity in the history of rutgers university through a bloodless coup. it received student from cross-sections of the rutg

the black people were back to replace the could not even vote. white kids after the show were sitting up saying, "i am lightning puzzle "no, i am lightning." that is eight or nine year old white kids, wanting to be black. that is actually a little frightening. [laughter] tavis: as i think about this, what is fascinating about the contribution african-americans have made to the history -- you think about harriet tubman. harriet tubman never lost one person who she escorted to safety on the underground railroad. 19 times she goes back down south to bring black slaves to freedom. never loses a single passenger on the underground railroad. you know where i'm going with this. tuskegee airmen. never lost a bomber. every plane escorted, they got it back cyclic. >> a number of them ended up dying. the life expectancy of a pilot back then was about 15 missions. whites were told they only had to do 24 missions. blacks do not have the same thing. negroes were retiring. but because they were so limited, and number of tuskegee airmen, because the washout there were

a lot of blacks, a lot of whites. you know, i meet in theiddle with everybody. >> gerald ritchie, a member of the white supremacist gang, the saxon knights doesn't believe such harmony between blacks and whites is possible. >> we're two different beings from head to the toe, from root to crown. and we're not compatible. we are not compatible. the only time a white dude is compatible with a black dude in a cell is, a, if he's a tag, or, b, if he wants to be black. that's the cold, hard truth about it. people are going to watch this on the news and hate me for it. believe that. >> and prison officials believe racial pride might have contributed to a recent assault that landed ritchie in the secured confinement unit. >> what you see here is you'll see ritchie, and there's another guy, a guy out here, and basically they're just hanging out. they already know what's playing. i mean, it was premeditated. >> the men are waiting for a black inmate to exit his cell. >> he's immediately met by ritchie, who was standing at his door, waiting for the doo

the history of black cemeteries goes back to the 19th century where blacks were often segregated at least to the worst part of a white cemetery. and then you have, again, funeral directors like charles diggs, preston taylor who finance cemeteries for black people that are elegant and in the garden variety that people want, the high-class cemetery. now, the one other interesting story about cemeteries that i can say is charles diggs found the detroit memorial park in detroit along with a group of other funeral directors, and it becomes so financially, um, profitable that they are able to give home mortgages, loans to blacks in detroit. blacks who had been denied these mortgages from regular white-own od banks at that time. so, again, in terms of the theme of the book, "to serve the living," these funeral directors are able to give home ownership to their communities through the profitability of their cemeteries that they themselves founded. and i think that's incredibly powerful in the story of how the back middle class tries to get a foothold in american society when the fha, the federal housing administration, is of

for the first name decades the academy awards big prize could go to a silent black and white film. >>films are in the running for best picture. the academy says the category could have held anywhere from five to ten nominees. the black and white film "the artist" is one of the favorites to win. it picked up nine other nominations including acting nods for its two stars. it's expected to be in a close race with "the descendants" which earned five nominations. martin scorsese's "hugo" earned the most nominations, eleven. it's up for best picture. some surprises in the best picture category included "extremely loud and incredibly close," and "the tree of life." "bridesmaids" had been generating best picture buzz but was left out of the category. it did pick up two nominations for original screenplay and best supporting actress. michelle williams and meryl streep are expected to face off for best actress a category that also includes viola davis and glenn close. george clooney is considered to be a next a close race against brad pitt for best actor. the oscars will be handed out february

the midst of battle. eight black school children entered central high. by midmorning 1,000 whites gathered outside the school. the speed by which the random mob materialized and the fact it was led by one of faubus' bird-hunting cronies, leads you to believe it wasn't spontaneous. blacks around the school there were attacked and beaten. at noon, little rock mayor wilson mann ordered withdrawal of the black students for their own safety. the integration of central high had lasted all of three hours. eisenhower now knew his policy of moderation had failed and to the man's credit, he readily accepted that it had failed and he moved to a new means of maintaining order and implementing the court's directive. he now understood only one course of action remained open to him and his response was both swift and decisive. in my career, he told brownell, i have learned that if you have to use force, use overwhelming force and save lives thereby. how's this for overwhelming force? he called the secretary of the army at 12:08 p.m. secretary of the army issued the orders. and two hours later, t

this particular night, somebody had gotten into a fight, we were probably the only black folks in a white neighborhood the party that they were at, they were playing salsa, marvin gaye, and we were hanging out after the birthday party. we got caught up in a situation where the police had been called for shots fired. we happened to be the only black people there, they got us and put us in jail. that was the first day that you mentioned. the long and short of it is, i was in my second year of law school at the time. i am reading all these things about criminal procedure, criminal law. the stuff that is on the books is not what is happening on the streets. don't i have some kind of rights? miranda or something? they just did what they want and it was the first time that somebody had taken my body and had physically done something with me -- except raimondi, a different category.
