>> in recent weeks every one of us have been made aware of a simple truth. white americans and black americans often see the same world in drastically different ways, ways that go beyond and beneath the simpson trial and its aftermath which brought these perceptions so starkly into the open. almost 30 years ago, dr. martin luther king took his last march in memphis. todays march is about black men taking renewed responsibility for themselves, their families and their communities. >> welcome to t...

Perceptions, and the other is no, its because of what he did. hes driving the negativity by creating narratives that are often false or worse, and engendering negativity. the poll reflects the latter, his tweets, 70%, they dont think theyre good for him. >> i love matt, but if we were that influential, then a lot of things in politics would look different. when i talk to republican voters, and ive spent a lot of time asking republicans how do they feel about the presidents tweets and behavior ve...

Restore faith in the police, the majority black city overhauled the department, appointing the first african-american to lead the force, attacking a problematic culture spelled out in ale damning justice department probe released in 2015. for starters, the small department is more diverse today than the day michael brown lost his life. in 2014, of its 55 officers, 48 were white, just four black. now just 38 officers in uniform, 26 of them white, ten black. >> change doesnt come quickly. it is a ...

Uniform, 26 of them white, 10 black. >> change doesnt come quickly. its a gradual step by step process if you want to do it right. >> reporter: part of the right approach he says is making sure his officers are known in the community. >> you change peoples perception, you change peoples concepts of the police department by actually getting out there, meeting them, when its not a crisis, when there are good times. >> reporter: his predecessor tom jackson retired under a cloud. in a new book, he c...
