♪ narrator: our world is a divided and unequal place. >> in a competitive economy, you will always havee inequality, and obviously you will have those who are successful and those who are less so. the issue is the extreme. >> 1% of the wealthiest populations hold more than half of the world's wealth. 62 wealthiest people hold the same kind of wealth as the lowest 50% of the world population. it is a very striking statistic. >> if you look at ceo pay, it has gone from about 50 times the average worker 30 years ago to 300 times now, potentially not only an issue for investors, but it is also an issue for workers. ♪ narrator: inequality has become the hot button economic issue of the 21st century, but worrying about inequality is not new. >> if we look way back into u.s. history, we saw dramatic income inequality in the gilded age, the 1880's and the 1890's. and it went so far, and it collapsed, and policies were put in place by a number of presidents and administrations to sort of equalize the playing field. labor laws were put in place tax , laws were changed, and that prevailed through

narrator: south africa is now more unequal than it was under apartheid.the country are actively trying to address this and get social mobility moving again. >> i was pregnant with my first daughter and i was at home. we lived on a farm, so i was home during the day. i would talk to the ladies who worked in the fields next door and that sort of thing. and they were picking whatever, but they really had inside of -- had so much inside of them, but no opportunity to go anywhere. there was no opportunity for training or to get a bit further or anything. and also what i realized, there was no power possibility. erin, along with her sister, decided to set up a health spa. the plan was to recruit their staff from among the rural poor. >> it was literally a couple of ladies from the field next door, so everybody went home and found sisters that were unemployed. we trained them up. i realized the importance and what it could do in south africa, very quickly. realizing the amount of lives you could change. narrator: christine buthelezi was one of the first women wh

until i was a teenager, i never realized that they had separate and unequal schools. never realized their parents cannot vote. i never realized my playmates's parents cannot serve on a jury. they had been deprived of basic rights. it was a time for me to remind all of us about that. we have an obligation now as adults to make sure our children understand not only the highest ideals of where society should be about equal opportunity and equal rights, that also to look at the history of successes in the past and to glorify the tragedies like martin luther king jr. and rosa parks and lyndon johnson and harry truman, i had boycotts operated against my business but i never had a threat to my life like others have had. to teach the history of what has been done in the past and we could all, within our own families so heroic. go about saying, to point out their achievements have not been perpetuated because of a natural tendency of anyone of us to feel superior to someone else. we all have an element of pride engrained within us. at least better than an alcoholic, a black pe

it looked like we're seeing a double-standard here, unequal treatment under the law. >> i think in thisase i think it's a travesty because i don't think hillary clinton has been treated like any other american would have been treated under the same circumstances. harris: all right. so you get the theme there. lawmakers hammering attorney general lynch all morning over the clinton email investigation. she defended herself repeatedly with statements like this one. >> you know, director comey has chosen to provide great detail into the basis of his recommendations that were ultimately provided to me. he has chosen to provide detailed statements and i would refer you to those statements. i as attorney general am not able to provide any further comment on the facts or substance of the investigation. harris: i now know how to answer any question about secret recipes. check the records. >> she made it no news. harris: that is what she wanted. >> there is a reason for that. and the reason is, she met on a plane with bill clinton in phoenix on june 2th and four days later she said because of tha

point at which they are the most unequal. lee's army is broken. grant's army is not. if they walk out of the table without an agreement, bad things are going to happen to lee's army. for this moment, they are meeting as equals. this is a more accurate depiction of what happened, a painting which is now housed at the virginia historical society, painted around 1920. i often show this paid into my students and ask them, especially, these are british who may not know the civil war iconography, who is the victor in this painting? [laughter] if you did not know that grant is the victor you would've thought that lee would walk out of here cheering. i think it says something about what southerners thought about the end of the war. several decades later. th magnanimous tone expressed by granting other generals may have had unintended consequences. some confederates went home believing that since the honor was intact, they could continue to for claim confederate dollars even after the confederacy ceased to exist. tha surrender did not necessarily mean defeatt. as confederate g

i think it's frustrating to republicans is the unequal treatment in the media.le, donald trump issued a statement after the dallas shootings, i think it was over 400 words, multiple paragraph statement. daily beast, drew, one word. it was a very measured statement. i think it was more presidential than what we saw from president obama or even attorney general lynch. they took out one word and put it in the same category as a right wing host that equated the black lives matter movement to the kkk. we look at the gravitas with the hillary e-mail server and scandal and there's a general point that they're missing the national security implication. >> donald trump said that james comey is part of a rigged system. he went after the fbi director. he said that hillary clinton tried to bribe loretta lynch. courting democrats close to her as saying maybe she considered keeping lynch as attorney general if she wins the election. what did you make of the coverage of that? >> i think donald trump also spent a couple of seconds going after hillary in substantive terms on thi

we don't feel unequal treatment, we know it. we have evidence of it.ng around response to governor of minnesota's claim that if philando was a white driver, a white motorist, he would still be alive today. law enforcement said that was irresponsible. rudy giuliani wouldn't even concede the claim. part of what happens here that we have to always convince a certain segment of the population of the united states that racial discrimination, that racism actually exists and has a disproportionate impact on our lives. we have to do that in the midst of grieving. you can imagine how that can make you rageful. >> oh, yeah. >> because it basically suggests that those folks who hold that position actually don't value our lives in the way that they should. and so part of what we have to do, alex, is have an honest conversation about why that's the case. that many of our fellow americans are not convinced -- are not convinced that black lives are not valued as much as other lives in this country, when the evidence is overwhelming that that is the case. >> especiall

our nation is moving towards two societies, one black, one white, separate but unequal.. >> the issues they're talking about include policing and race relations, underemployment and unemployment and the condition of cities. so when you read it, it's clear that there were many problems on the table that we learned about after the riots that were not addressed and that continue to be big problems today. >> what are the lessons learned? i remember reading about it when it was printed in paperback, some 700 pages long and sold out across the board. so many americans grabbed it, devoured it. their consciousness certainly changed. but what action changed in your opinion? >> well, not much. marlon brando went on tv and read parts of it out loud. but politics turned to the right. nixon ran a campaign about law and order. the response, instead of dealing with reform, was to expand the existing criminal justice system and to make it more muscular. so the argument is that since the '60s we didn't really address it and went in the opposite direction. >> pleat show you some of the fr

millions of americans lived separate, unequal lives.arrested in orangeburg for protecting that unjust system. and in jail, he met his future wife. that student was jim clyburn. thanks to him and countless others, president lyndon johnson signed the civil rights act and a voting rights act. johnson new democrats would lose the south for a generation. but to paraphrase john f. kennedy, now the torch has been passed. passed it a new generation of southerners. diverse, progressive, and fed up with republicans failed governance and dangerous divisiveness. when this generation hears donald trump claim that america was only great in some bygone era, we know painfully well we can't go back to that old america. we can't go back to that old south. democrats believe in a new south because no matter your race, immigration status, income, religion, sex, sexual orientation or your gender identity, we all have the same aspirations, for high quality education. good jobs. safe neighborhoods. health care and retirement for all. my friends, these are the

baltimore and other walked life and backgrounds that -- broaden conversations about ghettos, poverty, unequal, and institutional racism in this city, other cities across the country, if not the globe. finally, with pride that i introduce the professor as a dear friend and colleague, someone who is not only devoted a good portion of this scholarly career mining the complexities of the black urban life in united states and just as importantly, someone who is quit committed to equality in his practice and his daily life. hope after you hear what will be an engaging provocative talk the discussion will encourage you to buy his earlier works, and begin to think individually and collectively about how people in baltimore, particularly the white elite establishment, have cheated the black and poor, rather than the source of its solutions. thanks. [applause] >> anyone who knows moral gravity embodied in the work of the professor knows that there could be no greater honor for a scholar than an introduction like the one that he just gave me. i just want to thank you for that. should also add that profe

self promoter that is unequal. but i must tell you, he's very bright. and his demeanor is always professional with me. my issue with him is you got to come down from this touch point emotion, forget the ii, i, i an now how, how, how. they kons constitute 95% of all trade in the world. well, resiprocity certainly will f. he attacks that model. so these things have to be thought out. >> so let me ask you then. the prevailing thought at this point at least from the people that i talked to is that these business unfriendly statements that donald trump has made global trade, unfriendly statements, we'll never get through. if he's elected. do you see that? do you think that the republican -- a republican house or will actually push these through. >> if donald trump gets elected and that could happen. i think he carries the congress with him. the senate and the house. but because they will stop some of the far reaching causes of his, you're going to go back to polarization. what smoest important thing for our markets? confidence. and you have to reinstill conf

from different communities across the country, voice a growing despair over what they perceive to be unequal treatment, when study after study shows that whites and people of color experience the criminal justice system differently. if you're black, you're more likely to be pulled over or searched or arrested. more likely to get longer sentences, more likely to get the death penalty for the same crime. when mothers and fathers raised their kids right and have the talk about how to respond if stopped by a police officer, yes, sir, no, sir, but still tear that something terrible may happen when their child walks out the door, still fear that kids being stupid and not quite doing things right might end in tragedy, when all this takes place more than 50 years after the passage of the civil rights act, we cannot simply turn away and dismiss those in peaceful protest as troublemakers, or paranoid. we can't simply dismiss it as a symptom of political correctness or reverse racism. to have your experience denied like that, dismissed by those in authority, dismissed perhaps even by your white friends
