he is currently a vice provost on global initiatives, at the university of pennsylvania. dr. would come to the point where you have to advocate, for medical workers, to be fully vaccinated. how did it come to this? >> well i think medical workers reflect the country. and i agree with you. it's pretty shocking that health care workers would not be the first in line, and every person in health care would not get vaccinated. i have been calling for a mandate, ever since april 14. when i row an op-ed in the new york times, i think we need to get all the health care workers vaccinated. they should not infect other people, putting them in danger. unfortunately, because of misinformation, because of access problems, people have just stopped getting vaccinated. and we need to get them over that little barrier that they have. and get them vaccinated. >> the american hospital association is saying the only 9% of hospitals, have fully vaccinated personnel. it's rather frightening. is there any way for us to know if the hospital we might choose to use, or be taking to emergency, has full

i'm at the university of pennsylvania. i've run a research seminar of presidential libraries and we are coming back as soon is this:thing is under control and the reason i got into that, when i was researching a book on the war, because my father had the power, the eisner papers, authorized away for, i was allowed to see my grandfather's postpresidential papers and i encountered a fascinating story in these papers, there were 35 copies of his verbal addressing these papers and i sat down and if i had time or access to them idealized i'm seeing a real story unfold in the drafting of that farewell address, the first third of the draft reflected disappointment about the 1960 election, felt the other side was irresponsible fanning the flames of the cold war, going to be us down the road of perdition so warnings against his successor. the president says you can't do that. it is an appropriate and so the second set of drafts, sort of -- finally the third, this is where it becomes a great speech, where the focus shifts from what d

i'm proud, at the university of pennsylvania our health system was probably the first large academic health system to tallly mandate all of our employees get vaccinated. i think actually having all of these professional soapts and groups representing doctors and nurses, physician assistants and pharmacists, long-term care facility workers, we'll give them a good reason to now mandate that their workers get vaccinated too. so i think you're going to see a lot more private employers, health systems, doctors mandate that their workers get vaccinated to be able to intersect with people and keep their job. >> and what difference does it make if they are a hold out among hospital groups or others who say we just can't do that. we're worried we may lose employees? >> well, what is interesting is that when houston methodist required it there was a lot of chatter on twitter and social media that people will quit, they will take them to court. turns out that over 99.5% of the workforce of 26,000 got vaccinated and just a few people de sided they didn't want a vaccine and would rather quit. simi

pulling firm lake research partners and dan hopkins, professor of political science at the university of pennsylvania, whose research focuses on american elections and public opinion. it's really great to have you both here. so let me start with you, and i'll just ask you the same question. who we had president trump back in ohio. then back to the border is going to be in florida. who should worry more of the republicans or the democrats about his, you know, returned to rallies. well, i think american public to worry the most because it's a return to the division and strive and personal politics that a lot of voters remember, we won by 7000000 those rejected in this last election. but i think the democrats should be worried if they ignored him, and we don't, we don't take for granted. or we also have no idea what kind of impact you'll have on the off year election. what he's not actually on the ballot. and the republican should be very worried that they're taking a short term fix. that is a long term addiction. dan. i love to get your views on this, but i was very, very taken with an article that you

of the tulsa race massacre. [ applause ] >>> when i enrolled as an undergraduate at the university of pennsylvania, i my grandmother gave me a manuscript written by her great grandfather j stratford. he was a memoir of his own father buying his freedom. continuing through his life as a successful business owner and hotelier in tulsa, oklahoma. it was by reading this memoir that i understood a part of family history that had only been spoken about in whisper. the tulsa race massacre that had destroyed our family business and criminalized our patriarch j.b. stratford. j.b. had a hotel business in tulsa that would have been worth over $2 million in today's money. his hotel, the 54-room hotel on historic greenwood avenue was burned to the ground during the tulsa race massacre of 1921, along with over 30 square blocks of black owned property. causing him to flee to kansas and later to chicago to save his own life. he was falsely indicted for inciting the riot by an inflamed white grand jury for daring to stand up with his community to stop a mob from breaking into the jail and lynching a black teenager

here with you when i enrolled as an undergraduate at the university of pennsylvania. my grandmother gave me a manuscript. written by her great-grandfather, jb stratford it was a memoir that began with jb's father buying his own freedom from enslavement in versailles, kentucky. and continued through jb's life as a successful business owner and hotelier in tulsa, oklahoma. it was by reading this memoir that i understood a part of family history that had only been spoken about in whisper. the tulsa race massacre that had destroyed our family business and criminalized our patriarch, jb stratford. educated at oberlin college and indianapolis law school jb had a hotel business in tulsa, that would have been worth over 2 million dollars in today's money. his hotel the 54 room stratford hotel on the historic, greenwood avenue. was sat and burned to the ground during the tulsa race massacre of 1921. along with over 30 square blocks of black owned property causing him to flee to kansas and later to chicago to save his own life. he was falsely indicted for inciting the riot by a

point let's bring into the conversation the director of the public policy center at the university of pennsylvania, the driver of this research. kathleen, what jumped out the most when you're looking at who trusts what and where they get it from in the middle of this pandemic? >> single most important finding, people regardless of where they get their media, trust their doctor, their nurse, their health care provider. that means the strategy that says let's trust at the local level that these folks can make a difference now, particularly with the vaccination hesitancy is a really important insight. and that's consistent with what the biden administration is trying to do. trying to deliver the message at the local level, door to door, using people who are trusted. >> and so i want to come back to what i was talking about a minute ago and showing the graphics from your study. half of fox news. fewer than 4 in 10 who get news from far right sources even more than fox news, it's an echo chamber. correct? >> it is, but not a uniform one or monolith. there are hosts on fox news who have supported vaccin

he is the former president of the naacp and a professor of practice at the university of pennsylvania welcome back to democracy now! let's start with the first 6-3 decision because they both were, getting section two of the voting rights act. can you explain what the laws were in arizona that the supreme court upheld? >> the most important part here is what this completes. the shelby decision gutted section five which made it possible for the u.s. department of justice to stop discriminatory voter laws before they went into effect. this decision goods section two. section two makes a possible to stop discriminatory law after it is proved to be discriminatory. what this completes is the gut ting the most important piece of democracy legislation created in our country. what we should all be concerned about is -- both of these decisions together, it is true legacy of the trump administration -- not so much thinsurrection on january 6 as it was the takeover of our courts. we now have six very conservative justices. they are stealing up our democracy. they are hijacking our democracy from

the university of pennsylvania conducted a trial with 180 overweight or obese veterans.their goal was to take an extra 1200 steps per day for day for weeks. one group got $25 for signing up. the other group had extra financial incentive. they were promised $120 if they met their daily goal but they would lose $10 each week if they missed their step count goal. those who had the extra financial incent i have were more successful in meeting their exercise goals. the full study published. how would this work in real life though? who is going to pay you? to exercise? >> your insurance company because you'll be healthier? >> i guess so. like giving you a discount? >> something like that. i thought disney had something like that. >> i think they do. >> there you go. >> showing the positive reinforcement works. and money. >> money works for vaccines. >> yes. yes. how about that. so let's take a look at what's going on in the south bay. pretty cloudy as we look at 280 at 17. weather conditions are in a tight holding pattern through at least saturday then a warming trend will beg

. >> i'm joined now by associate professor at the university of pennsylvania, and afro-american cuban conversations in pop culture in america over the last couple of years about the erasure of voices. who is really behind this, and what are they really africaing for? >> yes, we're not talking about is the afro-cuban movements, or leaders that are leading the movements to free cuba, luis manuel, michael sobol, these are leaders of the movement that started in 2018. the catalysts were afro-cubans and artists across the island that wanted to express their lack of freedom of expression, the repression of the state of their freedoms in cuba, and so we're not hearing from the voice of afro-cubans on this issue. we're not talking to afro-cubans on this issue when it comes to issues of race and racism under the dictatorship, and we're focusing on things like the external environment instead of focusing on things like the internal embargo, or blockade of food and medicine and covid vaccines because cuba is not allowing covid vaccines to come in through the covax program offered: they're blocki

to "i've been here all the while - black freedom on native land,", was published by the university of pennsylvania press in 2021, dr. alaina roberts has appeared in the washington post, the civil war era in the historic orderly. at this point we have things over to dr. alaina roberts. alaina: hello and i'm so happy to be here virtually to share the book with you all and thank you who ran the planning for this program like a well oiled machine so i want to introduce myself by saying that all the review i do as a historian of professors connected to my family. people who identify themselves as african-americans i come from people who were enslaved for generations. but in my father's side, our ancestors were not owned by white people, we were owned by native americans in the 1830s, the home there and he numbers when journey as we know making their way to oklahoma which was then known as indian territory. and during the civil war the confederacy and the confederacy lost the united government forced by owners with other made in native american hunters just freed their slaves and provide them with land.

joining us now, associate professor for the graduate school of education at the university of pennsylvaniaard from them? how are they reacting to these protests unseen since the mid '90s? >> i haven't heard much from them. what i did hear from my family is that one of my cousins is -- has been taken by the state. and we are very nervous because we don't know where he is. and so along the lines of a lot of cuban people, we have a lot of missing -- a lot of missing family members, missing people, and we don't know where they are. we want where they r. we want to make sure they're safe. we don't have internet access because the cuban government has taken access for so much of the population. so we don't know what's going on with most of our family. we are looking at videos, we're seeing the data that's coming out on social media, with cubans on the ground. we can see that they're being repressed. we can see police cars, we can see that they're suffering, and we know the violence is happening. and so we need to focus on the cuban people's struggle. many of which are afro cuban. >> absolutely.

3s american history tv where we explore hihere with you when i s an undergraduate at the university of pennsylvania. my grandmother gave me a manuscript.

mrna technology was actually developed at the university of pennsylvania, where i got my transplant.t has been around for about 20 years and now they are using it -- they will be using it perhaps for hiv and cancer, and so the reason i was waiting on taking it is because it is not a live vaccine. mrna, those vaccines only tell your body to produce proteins that trigger an immune response, so you don't actually get covid. and for the woman who said why don't they take those of us who have had the disease and do a study on us, what does she expect, for them to get the delta variant and to see if there antibodies fight it off? it doesn't make sense. there is plenty of documentation on this vaccine for anyone who is really interested in finding out whether it is safe. you keep asking people whether they have asked their doctors about it and they seem to avoid that question. it is almost like they don't want to ask their doctor because they don't want to hear the answer that it is safe. host: ok. let's hear from another viewer in north carolina. this is david, also vaccinated. david, hell

let's bring in former obama white house adviser for policy and provost at the university of pennsylvania you come on when things get really serious. i guess i'd like to start by asking you, where do we stand with this delta variant and if things don't dramatically change and people don't start working hard to get the vaccines all across america, including the vaccine hesitant, what's going to happen with this virus? >> well, the delta variant is about 100 times more transmissible, which means earlier in the infection people transmit it and they transmit a large amount of virus and that means it spreads very, very easily and it does spread including to people who have been vaccinated. and that's been one of the drivers of the explosion in florida. the other thing that it's done, and i think i would emphasize is you're seeing a lot of younger people in the hospital. reports all over the country, including in florida, is that it's not the elderly because we largely got them vaccinated but it's younger and younger people now entering the hospital and that is very distressing to health care w
