why did you decide to write this book and why did you title this book "vanguard"? >> the idea for this book chain process because i knew the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment was coming, and a story about a proposed monument in central park, one that would celebrate elizabeth cady stanton and susan b. anthony was circulating. this said to me that we were in danger perhaps of entering into this anniversary year and overlooking black women quite literally. it was time i thought to try and hold together three generations of black women's historians work and offer of volume, one volume that would really permit all of us to fully appreciate the role of black women have played in political culture. "vanguard" started as the notion that this is a book that would be filled with black women first, black women breaking barriers, shattering seedlings that's true but as a begin to reflect on what i was finding, i realized first it was a core principle that black women had really arrived at 200 years ago at the beginning of the 19th century and had carried forward really

but the thread that runs through vanguard including sexual violence. one of the things i expected to discover in the 18 fifties forward all the way into the modern civil rights era activists of their fears and experiences with sexual violence. know where more acute that francis harper talks about what it is like to be a black woman lecture you know i wells story at this point but nearly every woman that i write about has a story being accosted and denigrated and assaulted and then to put that on the table because it goes to the core of how black women understand their particular vulnerabilities and to keep them out of ladies cars because women have the witnesses to this denigration and that they do nothing and all of the stories that i collect of which a black woman reports even speaking up for her when she is being accosted on a streetcar otherwise it is a spectacle and to cheer on conductors. it is a core concern that the movement we referred to as me to with the vicious thread so where are the politics from the threat of sexual violence. >> it's how

let's bring in joe davis of vanguard.should we be making of this rift, which is not common for us to here in public like this? joe: thanks for having me. you nailed it, it is not common, particularly when we think about the profound cooperation that the treasury and federal reserve applied, successfully, in the early days of this unfortunate covid-19 situation. i was somewhat surprised by it. some of these facilities, although some of them were certainly important in smoothing market function. a pressing question going forward is, if we are in for a choppy economic environment, what, if any, are these alternative assets, how are they alternatively applied given the need for fiscal policy? vonnie: the market reacted when they were introduced originally. that is where we saw the calming reaction. once markets went back to normal functioning, does it matter about the confidence level, in the sense that the market has corrected? joe: i think there are crosscurrents right now but i would still characterize it as positive. even

and, the courts are the vanguard of our liberties.ng all that is enshrined in the founding documents in the heart of the american people. because when joe biden was vice president, our liberties and most cherished values were under assault. when joe biden was vice president, the freedom of religion was under steady assault by the federal government. the rights of doctors and nurses was eroded. religious charities had their conscious rights compromised, and joe biden, in the last administration, called a group of nuns who had taken a vow of poverty to help the underserved community, hauled them into court to force them to compromise their faith.

people who were very proud of how the department was using data, they consider themselves on the vanguardnd leaders in the field, and they were excited to have me there and show me the new technological tools they had. but at the same time, historically police have not been particularly receptive to researchers or journalists spending time with them. there was a certain garden this or resistance and other spaces where they were concerned i was going to do a hit piece on them, that i was going to come in and do a gotcha story and leave. i think the resistance to my presence declined the longer i spent in the field, because i was able to build some of those relationships and share my findings with the police themselves. there was also a lot of confusion about who i was, to be honest, in the field, because police department are very hierarchical organizations. up would voucher for my presence, they would say -- the sergeant would say it is fine, and then the patrol officers would find that to be tolerable. but they often confused who i was. they would say, instead of saying i was a sociologi

you yourself know, reverend sharpton, if we had not been at the vanguard of the civil rights struggle this nation would have been able to move forward. martin luther king jr. and his nonviolent marching brought down the walls. when the walls came down, it wasn't just us who ran across the road. it was women, it was jewish americans, it was latinos, everybody ran across. but it was martin luther king jr., medgar evers, it was those types who lost their lives. john lewis beaten down into the ground, but alongside of him marched abraham joshua heshua and others. the church has to take the lead and are doing so once again. >> deborah, dr. butts mentioned abraham joshua heshua, i remember jesse jackson took me to meet him to hear what he was talking about. black americans carry distrust in the medical system due to deeply ingrained racism seen throughout our nation's history. what are you doing to instill trust back into the black community to go see covid-19 testing when it's needed? >> well, ergo the two of you, and the five ministers that you have both brought together to move things fo

the court was beginning to be in the vanguard of progressive movements rather than opposing liberal innovations. indeed, the court began by the 1950's was perhaps with the brown decision and other decisions, the court became one of the more progressive of wings of federal government. as it turned out, the most significant new deal legislation had already been enacted by the time of the court fight. important subsequent was the fair labor standards act. that resulted in maximum hours and minimum wages. the maximum hours was 40 hours a week. it still is good -- it still is. the minimum wage has grown a bit. it originally was $.25 an hour. it also outlawed child labor. it might be noted at this point that in the area of civil rights, which was soon to become a major national concern, roosevelt and the new deal produced little tangible assistance to black americans. specifically do they benefit as other americans in the new deal programs. the greatest boon to black americans came through the tireless work of first lady eleanor roosevelt, who was frequently active on their behalf. she remains the mo

jones: after writing "vanguard," it became clear to me that it wasn't possible to tell the story of american voting rights as somehow, you know, that arc that bends towards justice. especially as we sit here, in 2020, seven years out from the u.s. supreme court decision in shelby county versus holder, which gutted the most powerful provisions of that voting rights act that african-americans had so profoundly sacrificed to win, that we live in a democracy, in a constitutional democracy that doesn't guarantee to any citizen the right to vote. and i think we could point to any generation, every generation has faced the necessity to define and redefine voting rights, and there have always been communities that have been faced with the struggle, the burden on the citizen to breathe meaning, give teeth, and otherwise fully honor the spirit of democratizing moments like the 15th and the 19th amendment and their ratifications. so, if i had to sort of talk about the question of voting rights across the expanse of our history and to try to anticipate what's ahead, at a minimum, right, what's ahead is,

it will it be it was black women who were the backbone indeed the vanguard of joe biden's resurgence because he was written off after iowa and new hampshire, but south carolina game and he won that so convincingly and it was due in no small part to to that that segment of the population and i think that's why it was important that senator harris now vice-president elect was chosen and i think that's why so look at karen bass is going to play a prominent role i believe in the administration one where the other this is going to be something where this a lot of focus there's going to be lot of attention. i think susan rice who was the national security adviser was nominated to be secretary of state. i by president obama was essentially. not confirmed. by mitch mcconnell may get a second life as secretary of state again in this administration's i think there's going to be a lot of attention paid and rightly so but more importantly, it's also going to be about what they do again about the social justice economic justice environmental justice issues that are important to the black communit

those of us who do this work we know that black people have been on the vanguard of democracy.pushing this nation to actually strengthen and expand democracy. from the voting rights movement to other civil rights laws. once again we were looking at the fragility of democracy in this country, on the eve of which a fascist in office right now and has already attempted to dismantle democracy, we knew the danger in that and because of that what you saw was black turnout in record numbers because we knew what was at stake. >> and tonight in georgia as vote counting continues do you believe -- do you see a pattern that tells you joe biden is going to come out with georgia's electoral votes? >> i certainly do. i think it is -- it's been 27 years since we've had a democratic nominee to win the election. i think when you're looking at what's happened in georgia, you know, that is story around this isn't just about this particular election. this has been about years of deep community organizing. and when you put in deep community organizing you put investment and a coalition together of

>> well, virginia has been in the vanguard of this reordering of our political map that is under way. a huge step forward tonight if democrats do break through in other sunbelt states. in virginia, we're going to be watching places like chesterfield county in the richmond suburbs which democrats report is won for president in forever. joe biden is likely to flip that county blue this time around. what does turnout look like in south side, virginia, one of the key house races we're watching is in the charlottesville district that also connects with south side. and so that is going to be important for determining how big nancy pelosi's majority is, how much insurance she has if the political environment worsens for democrats in 2022. >> all right. and let's close by -- let's play the texas game, all right? and, you know, it feels like it's going to be really close. it feels like it's probably the democrats are probably going to come up less than a beto o'rourke performance short perhaps. but even if it is 1, 1 1/2 points, that's not a state we'd call for a few hours if not longer. >> ye
