you didn't become so until the death of your friend, trayvon martin. remind viewers how trayvon died. >> trayvon martin died in florida at the hands of a security guard told by law enforcement to stand down, not pursue, do not continue to assault this person and did not, but a vigilante himself. dehumanized him and decided to take the law in his own hands and found not guilty. >> i know that has left a grave wound in your heart, his death. you're turning it into action though and speaking out. i want you to ask about the breonna taylor grand jury decision today. only one officer was charged. officer brett hankison. two otherles not indicted at all including the officer who fired the fatal shot. what's your reaction to that? >> i think it's a travesty of justice because he was charged only because he shot windows and through doors, breonna taylor's death. in other words, these police officers who on their police reports, did not forest blue enter, no camera footage. i was always told, if someone starts telling one lie, they have to tell multiple to back

one of them stood beside the families of trayvon martin, michael brown, george floyd and more. laura coates takes a look at civil rights attorney, ben crump. that's next. spots? it's not your dishwashers fault. simply add finish jet-dry 3in1 to rinse dry and shine your dishes. solve three problems at once with finish jet dry 3in1. i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh...i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 8 million dogs. nice. and...the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no...itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections. apoquel may increase the chance of developing serious infections and may cause existing parasitic skin

i've been covering, you know, black lives matter since the trayvon martin case. >> jimmy: oof. >> andy time that i've ever been surprised was in the freddie gray case in baltimore when they were charged the surprise is when there are charges, and that's only because marilyn mosby, who's the attorney general in maryland, she's just a a different kind of attorney she believes that the families have equal standing to the police, and she's paid heavily for that you know, the war against her, the political war to unseat her and take her down because she dared to prosecute police, you know, shows you, and i think, is a lesson to every other -- a message to every other prosecutor the police are very much protected. their unions are the last union standing they're the most powerful union in america they're untouchable almost in these cities they eat up 20%, 30%, 40% of the budgets and built into that is the idea that taxpayers will just pay out any families of the people killed. and that there will never be justice because the system is designed for their good friends in the prosecutor's offi

since the killing of george florida really going all the way back to the murder of trayvon martin calls for equality in criminal justice reform in the united states of america haven't been this loud and proud since the civil rights movement in the 19th sixty's and while we've seen the influence of black lives matter on our streets in our politics and during our favorite sporting events many are now looking at how the industry behind america's greatest export entertainment is going to handle and embrace this generation's calls for social justice and equality i'm talking of course about hollywood darrell miller and see the end of a c.p. president barrack johnson recently noted in a variety of tauriel that studios networks and other entertainment companies have rushed to make the usual symbolic gestures of support for the black community but they go on to observe that hollywood must and can do more we cannot continue to operate on autopilot when considering who is portrayed in our productions how their approach right and who makes those decisions so with the industry still in mourning foll

and that interview is part of a feature on the bbc sport website called from trayvon martin to colinhe story of black lives matter in sport. with the transfer window open, players are moving clubs at the moment. not many though are making the switch from league two to serie a but that's exactly what16—year old mbunya alemanji has just done... signing for the italian giants roma after leaving cambridge united. alex howell reports: i remember my agent contacted me and he said that also they're interested in you obviously i really didn't think much of it. and then i think the next week he contacted me again he said you may have to travel to rome in two weeks. and i was like wow,. how have they seen you play, how did they watch you play? wow,. how have they seen you play, how did they watch you play7m wow,. how have they seen you play, how did they watch you play? it was my agents they made play for me. after i left cambridge and they sent the videos to rome as well. and that's when they showed interest wasn't one of you been thinking, what's been going through your mind to this whole pr

. >> trayvon martin, michael brown, ahmaud arbery, breonna taylor and now jacob blake.common denominator, their attorney benjamin crump, how did he get in these civil rights cases? told me it started at home, growing up in poverty. >> my mother like most black women in america, she was a miracle worker. watched her sacrifice everything for us. and everything i am today, it is because of her. would tell me all the time, baby, life ain't fair, life is hard. you make it fair by what you bring to the table. and if you don't bring anything to the table, don't expect anybody to let you sit down at the table. >> reporter: he also credits supreme court justice thurgood marshall as inspiration. >> in fourth grade we integrated the schools and kept thinking why do they have it so good and we have it so challenging. and my mother told me it was because of brown versus the board of education and thurgood marshall. >> since then he's represented trayvon martin's parents, families of victims of police brutality, including high profile cases that have reignited national conversations

a couple black teenagers who i would love to hear their side of the story, one in particular, trayvon martin. i would have loved to hear what trayvon side of his story was when him and george zimmerman had a crazy moment in time where he ended up dead. i would have loved to hear what trayvon had to say about what happened that night. his side. because we only heard one side. or mike brown's side of his story, right? see, it's a lot going on in this country, right? and if i can be honest, i'm a comedian, an actor, everything is just not funny right now. i'm more tired and annoyed right now. i want to give a shout out to the nba and wnba. they've been using their platform to stand up for social injustices. that's right. i am proud of them. they boycotted. they didn't play for the last few days. i think they're super dope. they don't care about their paychecks. they don't care about the entertainment part of it. they know what's wrong is wrong. and they're standing out for that. there's a lot going on when you think about the black people in our country and the police. that relationship is so b

i in college in 2012 when trayvon martin was killed, that was really like the genesis for the current movement for black lives, but at the time of course we didn't know that. >> i was in the street in 2014. i was one of many people in the street for days in ferguson. if we were not in the street for mike brown people would have said we didn't exist. it wasn't until we went to the street that we took away people's ability to say this isn't an issue. we use our bodies to say "here's what's true." >> first time that i brought ply camera to a protest was in the fall of 2015 when i began the film making process for my documentary. it's basically a deep look into the movement for black lives in chicago, told through the experiences of two young black queer women. >> we are black history in the making. >> there was literally a wall of police that was protecting this property. in that moment, i realized that this film had a lot more to it. >> push my bike again. >> hold up! >> i think that who is behind the lens matters as much as who is in front of the lens. when i got into the field with my

on sunday, she wore one bearing the name of trayvon martin, a black teenager whose killing in 2012 helpedpark the black lives matter movement. meanwhile, the world's top male player has been discaqualalifie from the tournament. djokovic hit a loose ball to the back of the court in frustration, and it hit a line judge in the throat. the tournament organizer said djokovic will lose all ranking points and prize money he earned in the tournament and will face fines. djokovic went on social media to apologize for causing the judge such stress, but said it was unintentional. >>> next, we bring you a report on a japanese woman who turned her hobby into serious art and international recognition. she's a clay artist, crafting new and original works with a quintessential japanese feel. >> reporter: these are crafted entirely from clay, even the colorful patterns are created in the molding process. it's the work of 60-year-old inoue keike, who living in miyazaki prefecture.. she has been c captivated with clay art since she first saw it on television 25 years ago. >> translator: i was fascinated and

in her previous mask, she wore the name trayvon martin. afterward she received a video from martin's mother expssing her gratitude to the tennis star. osaka tweeted she was flooded with tears. >>> it's time now for a check on weather with our meteorologist sayaka mori. people here in japan experienced unseasonably warm weather and isolated thunderstorms on wednesday. so sayaka, will these unstable conditions continue? >> yes. the unstablele whether wilill continue at least into thursday. possible intnto friday depenend on where you are. there'e's a possibility of seve thunderstormrms, hail, and even tornadoes are not out o of the question.. if you see black clouds approaching, takake shelter immediatel ll ly immediately. the cause of the extreme change in weather is high temperatures near the ground but in the upper atmosphere there's a cold air mass. because of that, we saw spotty heavy showers. we've got lots of rainfall especially in the southwestern islands of japan. not just that. lots of heavy rain pounded central japan. we had an al

carlos look at collin copernic more recently a small protest but taking me over the death of trayvon martinand others it in america i just think that look you know this idea that we're living in a meritocracy that the world is a meritocracy that the sporting burra anybody's retired merit socratic. that would be good and i don't know what it'll go i would or i would it i would agree that you could take up position but in her world where the vast moral consensus of the entirety of humanity is against racism and recognizes racism then he's perfectly suited for that view to be that moral consensus that global consensus to be reflected by sports people around the league whilst you're in that south africa partake in a no doubt will be again on all the other issues but right now are bigger issue is what her like you know my rock what happens when there is an individual competitor in some sport who doesn't agree with a moral consensus who does hold racist or homophobic or sexist views are you going to let him or her express those views. well the freedom free society that you have free to say what t

racism against trayvon martin. we find them guilty. racism against george floyd. we find them guilty. racism against jacob blake. abdul to wallop. if i said the name wrong, i'll forgive me. guilty. >> tucker: okay. so the guy who denounces a "cracker jews" is now a civil rights leader in our country but that's only possible because the joe biden for president campaign has decided that he has. biden's handlers knew exactly what jacob blake sr. had written before they landed in milwaukee today and met with him but they never mentioned it and of course the media never asked them about it. instead biden elevated jacob blake sr. to a position of greater permanency in this country and greater moral authority. you are now being lectured about bigotry by a farrakhan accolade who calls black people comes and puts pictures of in the toilet. but of course you are. to the democratic party nothing is ever about percival's, it's always about votes. that's why joe biden will never say a negative word about blm or antifa. no matter how many people they kill. but the past does not

because part of breonna's legacy will always be, like trayvon martin and michael brown raised america'sceeding, if you want us to accept the results, then release the transcript. release the transcript so we can have transparency. and if you did everything that you could do on breonna's behalf, you shouldn't have any problem whatsoever, daniel cameron, to reducing the transcript, so that we can see you fought for all of kentucky's citizens, especially

2012, nikkolas smith had to process it all through his art. >> the art is therapy for me. >> trayvon martine. >> the portrait caught fire across the internet. when that piece of martin luther king in a hoodie started going viral -- >> yeah -- >> what was your first reaction? >> i was kind of in shock. that's when i realized like this is a social experiment. if you look at dr. king in a hoodie and say you feel threatened all of a sudden, you say that he looks like a thug, then that was the point to show that it's really not about our outward appearance. [ chants ] >> this past may after the death of george floyd at the hands of police, black lives matter commissioned smith to paint floyd's portrait. there's a particular look on george floyd's face in that painting. >> yeah. >> how would you describe it? >> i feel like his face is just questioning. it's saying like, how could this have happened? >> you left the painting kind of unfinished. >> yeah. his life was unfinished. >> when a black lives matter street mural was organized in charlotte, north carolina, george even nakima knew she had to

joining me now is a founding mother trayvon martin's mom, sybrina fulton.lton, ie you with me. i want to make sure you're with us. >> good morning, yes. i'm with you 100%. >> i'm so happy to have you with me this morning. you know first i have to say you know i love you so much and i want to just take a moment of personal privilege and say, so many people meet you and they're so excited to talk to you and hug you and kind of lay their grief at your feet and i know something that you said to me when i was so excited to meet you was like nope, no tears today because there's work to be done. tell us in this landscape where we are still seeing the same tragedy play out over again and again and again, we're still crying our lives matter, what needs to be done that can change the narrative in this country around black life? >> i want us to be angry. i want us to be upset about what happened but i want us to propel us to do some kind of action, to get more involved, to participate more. maybe participate more with rallies, write letters, run for office. those are

i still haven't gotten over trayvon martin or nfl. i didn't know about .-full-stop until there was a miniseries that came outas this year. no one that i knew had been taught that in school. if i had done this weekend i made something i'm going to send an e-mail to help enlighten folks. do you know about the class divided experiment? guesthouse absolutely. >> host:>> guest >> caller: i thought that would best a start. i think that it's by keith boucher. i don't know if you know of that. >> host: what is your point on that? that?guest >> caller: with other documentaries, because i feel education is number one for folks to have context like you said and i just saw a documentary i am not your negro where james baldwin says nothing can change it until it is based. i jotted it down and i was just wondering what could they watch and read to have context and be educated and take action whether it's volunteering, giving money, becoming morets politically active. >> host: thank you very much. let's hear from author wes moore. >> guest: such >> guest: such a beautifu

open is getting a big thank you from the parents of trayvon martin martir ahmaud arbery. >> i want tohank you. >> continue to do well, continue to kick butt. >> i feel like i'm a vessel to spread awareness and hopefully it is not going to dull the pain, but hopefully i can, you know, help. >> naomi osaka has been wearing face masks that bear the names of black people killed by police. yesterday she wore a mask with george floyd's name on it. she will play in the semifinals tomorrow. >>> the nfl is back, the season officially begins tomorrow night. the first game is between the ns t t em, and the houston texans. we're learning that 16,000 fans will be allowed into arrowhead stadium to watch while social distancing. players will take a knee before the game to support the "black lives matter" movement. a move that bill o'brien says he openly supports. >> earlier in the spring i was asked if my players asked me to take a knee, would i did a knee that i would. them and i said >> earlier this year, the nfl considered delaying the season because of covid-19 but that did not he said end up ha

before each of her seven matches with the names of breonna taylor, george floyd, ahmaud arbery, trayvon martinhind her masks, she responded with a question of her own. >> what was the message that you got? was more of the question. i feel like the point is to make people start talking. >> osaka is now the first women's player in more than a decade to win three majors before her 23rd birthday. >>> still on sports, big 10 college football may be making a comeback. they are considering playing a fool football season after all. it could start as soon as a month from now. the associated press reports the availability of rapid daily covid-19 testing. the conferences faced pushback including some from president trump since it decided to postpone the season over concerns about playing through the pandemic. >>> pro football off and running. today is the first nfl sunday of the season, but it's going to be a little different this year, as you can probably imagine. in jacksonville,villevil florid people are considering going or looking at what's going on here, gary, what are the safety precautions? >> to

i haven't gotten over trayvon martin, i didn't know about tulsa in 1921 until there was a miniseries that came out this year, no one i knew was taught that in school, don't know if it was in history books. what i had done this weekend, earlier yesterday, i made something to send an email to help enlighten folks, do you know about a class divided, jane elliott, the blue-eyed brown i'd experiment? >> guest: absolutely. >> caller: i thought that would be a start and there's a documentary called the untold story of emmett chu by keith boucher, don't know if you know that. >> host: what is your point with that? what is your point of bringing those up? >> caller: what other documentaries? education is number one for folks who have context. i just saw a documentary i am not your negro where james baldwin is faced, doubted what he said. what could they watch, what could they read, what could they do to have context and to be educated and take action whether it is voluntarily. >> host: let's hear from wes moore. >> guest: a beautiful question. thank you for your vulnerability and leadership.

really 2012 if you take it back to trayvon martin. say i really was struck because i felt like this is really the lowest charge i've seen for such a high-profile case. a class d felony that carry as maximum sentence of five years and yet it didn't even apply to breonna taylor's killing. it applied to shooting into her neighbor's apartment and so, really, just kind of erases -- this is a decision that really erases breonna taylor in that whole incident. as you mentioned you have the contrasting remarks from two. you have president trump doubling down while former vice president biden had a more tempered response, calling for an ongoing overwhelmingly peaceful protest. i'm certainly interested in how this is going to play out with voters. i've been writing that racism is oven the ballot and systemic racism and policing, these are issues that voters who are already casting ballots in several states as early voting is under way, these are issues that are on their mind as they head to the ballot box, an i think this sets the stage for a ve

we all, i think with trayvon martin, we saw the representatirepresent and the powerful imagery of hoodies and skittles. we didn't see it. it came with michael brown and watching this video. i think ray shad came out with body cam. the question i have for you is no one ever talks about the first amendment, the fact that the legal rights associated with that. before we go deeper, i want you to actually lay for us what should we be looking at in terms of the enforceability and admissibility of this type of content? >> yeah, first, thanks so much, doctor lee, for bringing us together for this really timely discussion. really appreciate it. and you know, you have the right to record. this is a right that is protected under the first amendment. and courts have looked at the act of, you know, recording and taking photography as forms of expression that are clearly protected under the first amendment. and there is a circuit split on this question. and it is possible that this question makes its way eventually do the supreme court. but for the time being, the courts have taken up this question of

audience and rubbed elbows with politicians like barbara lee and activists like the mother of trayvon martin, sabrina martin. arris dreams of becoming a check. some players are mentoring local teens and setting them on the path to success. >> the level of commitment is more than just throwing dollars at a situation and hopefully we'll come out on the good side. it's a real commitment. >> reporter: it's not just fresh-faced teens who will be benefiting from this money. the 49ers also chose dream corps, a nationwide group that gives convicts a second chance. with so many inmates getting out early because of the pandemic -- >> the deck is trapped against you. >> reporter: -- dream corps is helping them land jobs in the tech industry. >> we hope to get to 40 employed people. >> reporter: a culture shift in football, creating change in the community. in oakland, melissa colorado, nbc bay area news. >> a lot of things are changing. also part of this nfl movement is a prime time special called "inspire change." it airs tonight at 9:00 right here at nbc bay area. it looks at how players and owners a

hailed by some of the families who are up and caught in this movement including the family of trayvon martinou from the bottom of our hearts, continue to do well. continue to kick butt at the u.s. open. >> i just want to tell you, thank you for the support of my family, and god bless you for what you're doing. >> just trying really hard not to cry, but for me it's a bit surreal, and it's extremely touching that, you know, they would feel touched by what i'm doing. for me, i feel what i'm doing is nothing, a speck of what i could be doing. >> osaka advanced to semifinals at the open playing jennifer brady from the united states tomorrow. >>> a big controversy now on wall street about whether coronavirus misinformation is making its way into some of the reporting there. bring in cnn christine alesci with exclusive information on misinformation ended up into wall street research. christina. >> reporter: right, john. we don't know how widespread the practice is. the mere presence of misinformation in wall street research indicates that this campaign to downplay the coronavirus led by president t

ferguson, you could be describing freddie gray case in baltimore, you could be describing the trayvon martin case in florida. literally all of the things you just talked about, the economic and background factors all were the same. you can just go city by city by city. i'm glad you brought that out. i want to listen to a little more of joe biden today, just so we can hear more of what he said. here he is. this is cut four. >> well, i think we've reached an inflection point in american history. i honest to god believe we have an enormous opportunity now that the screen -- the curtain has been pulled back on just what's going on in the country to do a lot of really positive things. >> i want -- you put a pin in that for a second while we listen to another voice out of milwaukee. this is the former sheriff of milwaukee, if you don't remember him, he's the guy whose jail a man died in, a mentally ill man kept for seven days without water. that's who he is. the man was begging for water and he died in sheriff clark's jail. just so you know who he is. here he is in contrast to biden. >> i'm just t

i bring in our panel brett is a former prosecutors and parks on the trayvon martin case. i want to gove kentucky attorney general announcement today. >> according to kentucky law the use of force was justified. this bars us from pursuing criminal charges in miss breonna taylor's death. criminal homicide encompasses the taking of a life by another. while there are six possible homicide charges under kentucky law, these charges are not applicable to the facts before us because our investigations show and the grand jury agreed that mattingly and cosgrove were justified in their return of deadly fire after everything been fired upon by kenneth walker. >> so we have brett tolman an darrell parks. darrell if i could get your thoughts about this news? >> i think it's a tough case that the news that the attorney general brought forth. the black community hears this but the problem is we've seen so much of the facts that happened in this case and although we don't know what the matter in which the case was presented to the grand jury it seems to most of us in the african-american

the names of a black people who was killed -- breonna taylor, elijah mcclain, ahmaud arbery, trayvon martin, george floyd, philando castile, and tamir rice. this is naomi osaka responding to espn's tom rinaldi. >> what was the message you want to dissent? >> what was the message t that u got come is more the question. i feel l like the point is to me people start talking. amy: and those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.org, the quarantine report. i'm amy goodman. california, oregon, and washington are continuing to face a climate apocalypse as devastating fires burnrn across the west coast. at least 35 people have died but the death toll is expected to be far higher. oregon say it is bracing for a "mass fatality event." entire towns have been destroyed. nearly 5 million acres have already burned. parts of the west coast now have some of the worst air quality in the world. president trump is visiting california today but is refusing to link the fires to the climate crisis. california governor gavin newsom says there is no question about the e climate crisis. >>

it just boggles our mind when trayvon martin was called by president obama. on the phone. when they called michael brown in ferguson, no problem with the attorneys being on the phone. when vice president biden called george floyd's family, no problem with their attorney being on the phone. when vice president biden and senator kamala harris, lawrence, called jacob blake's family and spoke to them for about an hour, they had no problems with the attorneys being on the phone. it is only this president that has a problem with attorneys being on the phone when he's talking to the african-american victims of police shootings. >> mr. blake, tell us about your conversation with joe biden and kamala harris, and was that helpful to you? >> at that particular time, my energy was low. i was so concerned about my son, it was almost like i was talking to a family member, like an uncle or something. and when i tell you, lawrence, they kept talking for 57 minutes, and he was never in a hurry. he never rushed. he shared things with me about his family and vice president harr

for me, i think the one that most affected me was trayvon martin because i was young when that happeneder it shaping a little bit the way that i think, shaping my -- sort of my fears sometimes. >> your campaign has really got people talking. i know that some of the parents of these victims have expressed their gratitude to you for what you've been doing. how does it feel to make such an impact with something that is so importa important? >> for me, i wasn't really -- i don't know, i wasn't really aware of the scale that things would get. for me i just felt like it was important to hopefully use my platform for something good. i wasn't sure, you know, that the reach it would get, but i just felt like while i'm here, while for some reason there is a tv camera on me, i might as well use it to the best of my ability. >> earlier this year, you told cnn that you were done with being shy. now that you're speaking up and harnessing your platform, how loud do you think you can be? >> i don't want to be loud, actually. i want people to think about what i said, so for me, honestly, if someone has

earlier, she wore masks with the name trayvon martin, and ahmaud arbery.er fifth win last night, martin's mother and arbery's mother thanked her. >> i was trying not to cry, but it's a bill surreal and very touching that they would feel touched by what i'm doing. for me, i feel like what i'm doing is nothing. it's a speck of what i could be doing. >> social justice is top of mind for the nfl and its players as the chiefs and texans open this year's season in kansas city. tomorrow, players will be able to express themselves by wearing t-shirts pregame. there will be messaging in the end zone, and john, this goes beyond week one. the league says it's going to prioritize advancements in things like criminalis reform. a lot to expect from the league over the next couple of weeks and months. >> and football tomorrow. i don't want to let that slip by. you just said football tomorrow. >> football tomorrow. >> which for a lot of us is exciting and we'll be watching. thanks, appreciate it. >>> so michael cohen has a brand-new book out and he's got a stunning predic

i think we all with trayvon martin we saw the representation of the powerful imagery of hoodies and we see it but it came with michael brown and watching a video which i believe rashawn was on body camera? but we began to see citizens actually collect the information and the question i have for you is no one talks about the first amendment and the fact that the legal rights associated with that and before we go deeper i want you to relay for us, christen, what should we be looking at in terms of the admissibility of these type of content? >> yeah, first thing. thank you so much doctor lee for bringing us together for this timely discussion. we really appreciate it and you know, you have the right to record. this is a right to that is protected under the first amendment and courts have looked at the act of, of recording and taking photography as forms of expression that are clearly protected under the first amendment. there is a circuit split on this question and it is possible that this question make make its way eventually to the supreme court but for the time being the courts have ta

people were concerned about trayvon martin and so forth, but i think the social circumstances in which this happened, and historians always look to this, the context is different. that made a difference in the way people responded to it. jim: what is interesting, we have the statues being toppled, we have the being toppled in the context that you just talked about. these statues are part of a story and they tell a story. so one thing i am curious about, and maybe david you can speak to this, is this the death of a the lost cause? david: probably not. but we can hope. [laughter] i try to see this moment now, no one should predict anything right now in this climate, especially as historians. it is really the culmination of a 150-year counterattack on the lost cause ideology. the lost cause ideology takes form right after the war, especially in the 1870's and 1880's. the confederate monuments came out of a later period than that. during the jim crow era. when the united daughters of the confederacy and the united confederate veterans took hold of that process. but it was an ideology, a ra

but today i believe just like with trayvon martin and michael brown, calling attention in america tock lives matter, i believe breonna taylor in louisville, kentucky, is causing great attention in america that black women lives matter too >> yeah. and you know, erin haynes, you and i have also had this conversation a lot and i remember talking with you about the fact that this case, if you just look at the number of stories versus cases of black men that were killed, at first it was fewer what do you make of these developments in terms of just putting it on scale, right we had a lot of cities, new york, chicago, other cities, make big settlements with families due to police misconduct it's something a lot of cities budget in. they'd rather pay than make change this is a rare case where they're paying but also pledging to make some change. >> that's right, joy and we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that these proposed reforms are part of the settlement agreement announced today, especially when you think about that we are in a climate, this is an administration that is not about the

and the bay area and black lives matter which formed around a series of events going back to trayvon martin ferguson and so forth. and now here we are again, are we just going in a loop or do you feel like each one of these things we are getting closer to something. >> that is such a good question. i can say in writing the book, are we going in a loop or are we moving forward? . . . we assess our strategies. and require us to frankly keep pushing forward. i know there is a lot. [inaudible] black lives matter, people are saying all lives matter. >> keating on one second period, can you hear me, one second, can you hold on, we are having a little bit of a technical difficulty with your -- repeat that last thing you said please. >> sure totally. i sang in 2013 and 2014, we were pariahs in terms of politics. we would say black lives matter and people would say all lives matter. that was the most common response. we were not seen as a legitimate political force. we were not seen as a movement. we were seen as people who were radical. even in our own communities, right? we were seen for people ex

bay area and of course black lives matter which formed around a series of events going back to trayvon martin and ferguson and so forth and now here we are again. are we going aloof or do you see with each one of these things we are getting closer to something? >> yeah, such a good question, chris. i can say in writing the book i was like are we going in a loop or moving forward? i will say that honestly the way i think about and look at history look at the present and the connections to the two is that we are not going in circles per se where we end up right where we began but if anything, i would imagine it like a spiral. you are moving in a circle and coming back but you are not coming back to the place you started from but you are in a new place and you can look at where you started and assess the gap in between. you know, no, things are not the same now that then they. [audio difficulties] and the require us to, frankly, keep pushing forward. i know there is a lot -- [audio difficulties] people were saying all lives matter and that was -- [audio difficulties] >> could you hang on, alicia
