whites, the land owning whites, the wealthy class. and the petite blanc, the little whites, the majority experience of the petite blanc is the absent archive. so there was the research challenge there. there was another research challenge. you asked me earlier, gary, whether i could talk about the relationship between this book, "life of a klansman" and "slaves in the family" 20-odd years ago, and one thing this book "life of a klansman" does that has an echo, echoes the template of "slaves in the family" in this book, i find in louisiana and in a couple of the northern states, african-americans living today whose ancestors were victimized by the marauders of the ku klux that my great great grandfather joined. and i, with their participation and consent, i tell their family stories as well, what happened to that family under these -- in this night ride, this massacre. what happened to them after and where they are now. and so that was another research problem, finding and then actually gaining the trust of several families who would a

that some people feel i have this, this notion of white, white replacement theory. that if it, that if you're going to diversify being, you know, to 0 sum game between races. now i gotta tell you, i've interviewed ceos all around this country, all of whom are that i've talked to are trying to basically say, we need to commit to educational black and brown communities. we need them in our, our corporate leadership. we need them on our board and we need them work in our company. we need to broaden the aperture and bring those folks in. and i have to tell you, none of them talk about it in this white replacement theory way, but people have the sphere when you go into a community, you going to talk to them about how we get this right. what i, what, how do you bring them along so that they understand that at the end of the day we're going to be a much healthier nation. ah, with real diversity out and, and it's going to be every one wins. how do you do that? well, well, initially it's a perspective and thought that you're going to go into this understanding that this is q

white women. and, enslaved african american women, are often the mothers of children. we all know the story of thurman. his experience resembles this is template almost exactly. he was an 18 year old, kid and father to child with one of the cooks, in the family home. and, that's the way it worked. that's the way it worked. i think those are the two remaining templates. any other questions? >> you guys want to talk about the hot. stuff you want to talk about the hot stuff. you want to talk about the real nitty-gritty. >> i have a question. . >> yes. >> in your book, i read, that a lot of the slaves, did not take after the name once they were freed. it said in the book for the most part, they were treated pretty well. they were educated. so i was wondering, why you think a lot of the slaves did not take on your family name? >> well, the former, the people are formerly enslaved, we're not universally as you say treated well. in certainly not universally educated. but there is this pattern, that a lot

the rate whites, the landowning whites, the wealthy class and the little whites, with the majority experienceon so there was research challenge there. there was another research challenge. you asked me earlier with gary, whether i could talk about the relationship of this book and the klansmen and the slaves in the family pretty 20 odd years ago and one thing this will does that is an echo of the template of slaves in the family in this book, i find in louisiana and a couple of the northern states african-americans living today, the ancestors were victimized by the clue clocks the my great-grandfather join. in the consent to the family stories as well. and what happened to that family and this would happen to them and where they are now and so that was another research problem. then actually, gaining the trust of several families it would allow me to come and visit them as a representative somebody represents one of the family members who violated and abused them, their ancestors from some generations ago read that was hard. that was hard. and so those are two answers to your question. >> boy

mainstream white organizations led by white women focuses on white women in particular, they are also planning to vote for women of color. major carol was born enslaved but became one of the first women in the united states, the first black woman to earn a bachelors and masters degree. she was elected to be the first president of the national association of colored women which was founded in 1896. the organization was different from other suffrage organizations. they wanted the vote for women but were thinking more broadly about gender and race-based issues. they were thinking about protecting the vote for black men, they were thinking about anti-segregation, anti-lynching, how to educate their children. there is much more broad and as you can see from this image and many others like it, she emphasizes she and her fellow black women's rights activists are extraordinarily respectable, refined, elegant. she was interested in fashion and you can see she often has extravagant herself in these images, she's a fairly wealthy woman, fairly elite woman in washington dc at the time and you can

the nights of the white chameleon was one. the white league another. in mississippi, there was the white line. a north carolina, the red shirt. the ku klux klan is as wide as the south for about eight years. and alongside it were all those parallel militias. an early disguise of the white brigade, was the ranks of volunteer fire companies. volunteer firemen joined in great numbers confederate veterans -- in great numbers, confederate veterans join volunteer fire companies, which became overstaffed and armed and they are a kind of heat bed for the white supremacist movement. konstandt's fire company was called home books and latter, which was made up of his former company's 14th regiment of louisiana infantry. konstandt took the extreme step and join this armed resistance, he became a guerrilla fighter who wanted to return to south to white rule. he became a foot soldier in this campaign. the first major explosion in new orleans occurred in july of 1856. and the circumstances are pro preponderance that konstandt was there. at a meeting, called during a

, they knew that women in white which a lot better black-and-white photographs and a new those photographs when they were created in halftones and printed in the, they would show up even better write it so even in the 21st century when you see these women in congress, at the state of the union or even in the photograph here, they do tend to stand out and that is one of the reasons why they chose white to begin with read for a lot of ways a lot of the imagery the suffrage is really pretty. and throughout the 19th and into the 20th century's because they still part of our modern political culture actual i'm to go back a little bit further just to start us off and set us up for a visual conversations that are really taking place starting in the 19th century. so this is a political cartoon and a london artist probably read about this happening in the local newspaper. and he never been to the colony but this is the scene that he imagined it entry read about this. it is a group of women in north carolina are signing a petition that they're not going to purchase tea and you can look closely at th

he wanted to restore white supremacy. he got tied up in that white league. the white league, the only difference between the whiteley and the ku klux klan was the cuckoo express he could've and the white league were not and thank god for the white league because they put the negro out of the seat of power. so it was from on to mod, the family historian that i first learned about our klansman. 30 years later, mod having died, my parents having died, i'm cleaning out the family house and i find a batch of files labeled lacorn and i begin reading and make a decision to tell the story of our klansman, go back and forth from my home in connecticut to new orleans to look in the archives and i higher a researcher to excavate the documentary record and the story takes shape. constant lacorn was born in 1832 to a french family in new orleans, the second of 3 sons. his parents, give his older brother the education and constant goes into a trade, brings up a small thin man, nervous and alert with sharp features, skinny nose and beautiful hands and under bite and brow.

as a white teenager, if i was in a car with a student of color, a new white neighborhood if you don't want to be in but i didn't actually write about it, i didn't really find any. however, the success meant that there were times that became infamous. when i was growing up, glendale have that reputation. don't go to glendale. but the board of education and enforcement in the 1960s, that meant there were white into certain areas of socal that were known white families were moving, whatever high school so that's kind of the california version. >> does your book talk about california -- the housing act of 64? >> again, i don't get to the 60s. i love that story and want everyone to learn about that, i've read some of his papers and that law, such an important part of the story of california segregation but again, i was trying to -- >> work examines the white settler colonial nation of white supremacy, how do you see that analysis? >> thank you for mentioning seven colonialism, i read about that in the first chapter, native americans were enslaved into those of you interested in that story,

yeah, white people. you poor white people.ia. this man was born into slavery. no question. no problem. it's congressman langston now. that's why i love reconstruction. you have real heroes. are we any different than these people were? >> no. >> no, we're not. you know the difference? we just don't remember. my name is greg carr, and i'm associate professor and chair of afro-american studies here at howard university. >> and what connection do you have to the history of the civil war and reconstruction? >> well, in addition to the direct history, my ancestors having been brought here from north carolina and alabama. no civil war veterans in my direct family, but we were enslaved in alabama. so obviously coming out of the civil war, my family are share croppers, come in the eras of jim crow, great migration moving throughout the south. i'm a living part of that stream of history. and as a professor here at howard university, and particularly in africana studies, which is my field of study and area i work in, i devote a great par

, there was an understanding that white population was made of the great whites, the landowning whites, wealthy class and a little whites the majority experience is the absent archives so there was a research challenge there and there was another research challenge. you asked me earlier whether i can talk about the relationship between this book "life of a klansman" and slaves in the family 20 odd years ago and one thing this book "life of a klansman" does that echoes the template of slaves in the family i find in louisiana and a couple northern states, african americans living today whose ancestors were victimized by the marauders of the ku klux klan great great grandfather joined and with their participation i tell their family stories as well, what happened to that family in this massacre, what happened to them after where they are now so that was another research problem, finding and gaining trust of several families who would allow me to come visit them in for representative, someone who represents one of the family members who violated and abused their people, their ancestors som

it's because he's defending white nationalists and white supremacy.d the attackers are his people. >> dana, paul ryan who is supposedly a norm core republican is on the board of fox news. he in theory would know better. i know that all he ever really cared about was getting maximum tax cuts for the super rich. i get it. that's all he cares about. i wonder at some point does there have to be some accountability for the fact that fox news is as dean said, i watched that little trailer that tucker put together and i said it yesterday. i used to watch for my job, those isis little mini films they would make to recruit young incells to join isis. they had the same sort of live action, try to insight young men that tucker is creating in his trailer. we can never do that here. we have a standards practice. there is no way we could get away with that. how on earth, the fcc doesn't have control but at some point does there have to be accountability on fox and what they're spewing? >> right. the key is the sinergy between them. fox news largely created donald t

they're a white interest party. have the democrats responded to that in a strong way to be more of a defense of everyone else party? have they done that in a strong enough way in your view? >> i think they haven't done it in a strong enough way but they are somewhat ham strung but the incredible narrowness of their majority. i understand white voters that mobilized in large numbers to get rid of trump and put biden in the white house why they would be disappointed at the legislation we haven't seen so far including voting rights legislation. at the same time, this is less about the failures of the democratic party and more about the stubbornness and kind of bipartisan anile list m as i've called it in the past of joe mansion and kyrsten sinema who have sort of made it clear including joe mansion's case, it's not clear he'll fight for his own voting rights legislation never mind a broader voting rights package. and so, you know, look, it's very difficult thing when you have to be in a democratic system, when you have

supremacist white nationalist groups. they want to disrupt democracy think timothy mcveigh if you think about his experience he was associated with white supremacist groups his primary motive is he wants to disrupt government and toppled government. he saw government's overreach. at that component then you have extremists who are single issue minded whether they are acting out on their views about abortion, about environmental issues, about animal rights for you seem extremist behavior as well in this single issue oriented people. but yes white supremacy and nationalism is probably the primary driver we are seeing in the military and across the country that is by fbi director ray spoke to congress about that. that is waste defense secretary austin ordered the standdown earlier this year, general millie has spoken appropriately about the rise of white nationalism in the military. so it is important to get our hands around it. you have senior commanders who have literally said before congress that extremism does not exist i

white nationalist groups.imothy mcveigh, when you think about hisra experience, he was associatedoc with white supremacist groups and of the primary motive is he doesn't want to disrupt government. he saw the government as overreach. and then of course you have some extremists who are sort of single issue minded whether they are acting out on their views about abortion or environmental issues or animal-rights. you see extremist behavior as well in those single issue oriented people. but yes, white supremacy nationalism is the primary driver that we are seeing in the military and across the country. that's why fbi director ray spoke to congress about that. that's why secretary defense secretary austin ordered to stand down earlier this year and general millie has spoken accurately and appropriately in thehi military. it's important to get our hands around it. you haves senior commanders that have literally said before congress extremism doesn't exist in my formation and we know that's wrong statistically speaki

as far as northern whites are concerned it's a reasonable proposal that every white person who for thet 50 years said that slavery was awful and don't know what they will do about it here's an opportunity to actually do something. the response that southern whites have to that is entirely unexpected. response that missourians have is -- the response that white missourians and white southerners have is one of absolute outrage. that's why it ends up lasting for two years because it's not like missouri to give up the future of slavery in the united states but the future of slavery in the united states and 1820 is a semi- continental union. but there is anticipation the united states to become an empire. there's expectations united states will -- perhaps even with the mexicans in and expectations united states has to do something about slavery now or it will never feel to do anything about it. that's why this turns into a contentious two-year long crisis and it clearly falls apart in 1820s 20s. >> yes met intense and effectively established a national conversation and talking about the fut

is one of those terms we'd don't use white supremacy in the fact there are efforts to maintain white root of why we don't have some of these conversations. i remember my grandfather saying when you see white people, say yes, sir. i despise that today but what he went through and, you know, what he saw and some of the traumatic experiences that he had, just made me think about that may be one of the reasons that some of these untold truths are not spoken. >> i remember being, i think, i want to say like 8 going in a north park mall and my mom took me in victoria secret and i was board and i whistled to keep myself from falling asleep and all of a sudden, my mom grabbed me frantic and said i need you to never do that again. i said what are you talking about? she said don't say anything, we'll talk at the car. she said have you heard of emmet teal? i said i don't know. i'm 8. i don't know about this. what i appreciate about my mom is she showed me who emmet teal was and was like that happened from whistling. she was like i understand you didn't know what we were doing but we were in vic

tell us more about what the white house is saying? the white house secretary confirming this and saying it will be taken on a case by case basis, right? >> that's right. the white house telegraphed this was the direction they were heading to, and i think there are two important things that we have reported now as it relates to what happened specifically to today. this is just the beginning, halle. there was a broad question of a range of documents from the national archives from everything produced by the trump white house on january 6th, and we are talking about photos, phone calls, visitor logs to the white house, the conversations happening internally to the white house and even leading up to the counting of votes taking place that day. the national archives have begun to scour through what they have, and trump it over to trump's legal representatives and to the white house. they are still in the process of doing that. there is more to come. what is significant and why the trump team should be nervous at this point, is what i under
