A political call to arms but i would imagine that as people wake up here in the United States in the next 6 to 8 hours theyre going to hear what the president had to say and theyre going to point out a couple of facts 1st that a lot of the statues that have been targeted by antiracism protesters were in fact then removed by local government and the other factor is that these statues in large part basically celebrated people who fought for the confederacy which sought to in shrines of slavery as a political and economic reality in the southern how of the United States and those statues were raised not in the 19th century but in the middle of the 20th century during the last prominent wave of civil rights activities in this country now that doesnt matter to donald trump hes running for reelection his numbers are down and certainly before a crowd of people who can only be described as some of his perhaps most ardent supporters the president had this to say about those who sit on the other side one of their political weapons is canceled culture driving people from the. Shaming just sensors and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees. This is the very definition of totalitarian. Lets not forget its the 4th of july but seemingly americans have very little to celebrate over the holidays youve got the coronavirus pandemic high unemployment mass protests over racial inequality so how is all of this playing out politically for trump with an election just about 5 months away. Well certainly you would think that when youre marking the United States birthday Independence Day being july 4th that you would expect to hear u. S. President deliver a message of unity instead.

On believing. They had it in order to. Win people would come down and they day sit down. And was a master. When we finish tasks we were. And across the street to mark church hell 1st Baptist Church. Thats where we had a great occasion right here for this practice you. Know what its really when they get to a point to look at their show. The research a community is very valuable because its close to downtown and also close to the chase camp and what do you do do you protect them to protect try to protect the people that are already there and the shock shoes that are already there and the history thats already there are do you just not. Whatever buys property well milly come in and you know tear up the neighborhood that you knowing you up. We got involved with the restraint when the case 1st bought property there because the neighborhood got exercised and began to get organized and we started working with them and eventually the neighborhood decided that they wanted to try to get their due to their neighborhood locally doesnt it as a Historic District and the important thing about local distort as a nation is that it protects the neighborhood this is a map for the proposed re street local Historic District. This is the hill 1st Baptist Church at the corner of reese and polk street and that is where we have our Community Meetings its a very old and and significant africanamerican church the property that the k. S. Bought is a a large l. Shaped lot here which is just south of hank street so their house will be here theyve got a parking lot here they also bought these 2 lots here the 2 houses here they were roughly 100 years old a little more a little less but still they appeared to be pretty sound structures k. A. Said that they were not that they were about all them but i dont know if we can believe that or not this 237 Church Street this is the house that dr hurley lives in who was hope by the hearts mother and her house is now the only historic residential house from the number. If we dont get those local has torn down the nation for development for going to start popping up all over the place the 2 homes that were purchased by k. They are no longer standing as soon as we realize the houses were vacant on mother are contacting amy. So and we started our log with a job there will came weve neighborhood meetings and he said in here and he you know when asked he was supported we want to be part of the neighborhood we want to support the neighborhood and then to turn around and do that like a car and told an. Accumulative i was given the car to see have you know call but of course they didnt tell us that it was the houses were going to be demolish so at best kind of trickery making me kind of leave me ok i have a lot of power they do they get over everybody they do with they want to. Know its true in affects you and your family most of them affects mine because your mother is right but. But you know some tangent thank you final words and that when i came to the 1st meeting our recalls pat allen across maine and those return to boston do not sit up there tell us absolute last they lied to us i mean grin in his face and im not going to grin in his face hes not in a better than me and i guess that may be one of my downfalls i dont come to suck up to you just because you know you gotta love authority. Correctly they can fly a Confederate Flag just to show them sin in this but. I remember at the church where they showed us the plans to do with the the architectural adia for the home that they were going to bill and i question that. Was different about this when it would be on the plantation you know this is the same confederate house confederate everything that that this picture shows us is a hurtful time africanamericans. Is hard to just bear that history of hate and dislike and you dont even know the people and now you want to live in the same neighborhood with us. Pretty much everyone has the you know we were exactly welcomed with open arms into the neighborhood and. We did while we didnt want to leave our 1st location in the 1st place either. And told us we had to move. The guys that are in control were in charge of. The leaders the adult leaders. Made it possible for us to have a house closer to the school. My uncle my mothers brother was. Back in the glory days so. I ended up getting a bill through fraternity its been a wonderful wonderful experience for. Some 1st year i was 12 i shot him with the blue. Those are my 2 grandfathers the on blue passed away in 2000. And he still. And this is our al well he had a rebel flag on this account. And he was the thing that doesnt bother me for having a rebel flies because the the the reason the civil war was fall and was to keep slaves which he wasnt hurt black people because yeah they were not they were part of society and they were slaves it wasnt because the reason the way we fought the war was because we hated black he was because we wanted to keep an institution going of oppressing black people but it was a i was all about money is basically what im trying to say it wasnt about oh we hate white people. Lets make sure they dont ever have a real job in their home you know so to me having that little flag in my house on a whole host is really big. You know so if thats just out feel i think a lot of people would agree with that. Was. My brother was enlisted another slower start to ceremonial that will probably for i dont know the force dimension of selflove can see the only your presence i think a man of whom 7 we dont really overall virginia was. In the cousin or the race of the 1st that you hadnt dreamed a certain degree and so has for deal pleasanter just went to play center itself on the wound up the Service Knows this. Jackson and davis and lord knows all those less fortunate unreconstructed judges that the south has truly risen the. Writers that we have yeah youre right youre the salad were. All right 6. The whole reason that we have old south parade is that at that period of time. A man like a gentle southern gentleman had to be a nice person and had it all he had was his reputation. I did some thinking about this and thought about you know why this is how it is you go you have was your reputation so being a gentleman was a necessity to me being a gentleman is seamless and its its just the way i was raised is just the way i was taught to be. I know nothing else but to be nice to everyone that i know and just do i think right and that entails you know you know Holding Doors for ladies at all times like you know having nice table manners yes maam no maam shaking hands looking people in the are. Those are the things that come to my you know. I tie myself in the mix something people always thing in the morning a problem to me and then you know i work with in the middle of there trying to do the same thing to bring about change or i kind of take it on my cell. All right were ready now to move to our public hearing and deliberation on the recommendation from the Historic PreservationCommission Regarding the dozen nation of the restricted areas a local Historic District. Madam mayor and commission i stand before you today to ask you see approve the local historic designation for resale and i will for restraint we have worked really hard to see you see this come into fruition there are only 10 historically africanamerican districts across the state we would like to be a let the 11th we the restraint Community Want to say and what we what our Community Looks like and feels like we are passionate about our community and we will light positive Single Family growth so we are asking for the local historic designation thank you. All this labor sounds. Just like people napkins people sleep right now oh my mom is checking on somebody who is chicken to. Ok what about the fraternity i think. Its much say hey. We should. I mean at my mom when theyre really keen on it but. We just happen to come outside and there are like ghosts. Our bottles like right there in front our 1st dad mom steps and so i dont know but i feel the tension in the air just when i drive through the neighborhood and theyre looking at me and im looking at them. But i dont want them to just say well no one ever approached us so we could exclude it was even though they are stakeholders in the community the only reason only way theyre going to act is if they are. I want a 4th but there are you know brought into participating i dont know how its going to match but. Were just telling our other state because those are there is a sincere there groomed to participate in Community Events you know i think with a political ticker and you know i think i think that you know it you know theres the side that leaves you know all of their beer bottles out on game day and then theres the 5 that you know will be very late in respectful i mean its going to happen that we know how to wire them up a copy of the donation sheet that way and weve done our part. And image can change the way we see the wound ask if we had not seen that we would be talking about it it can spark mass action or serve the interests of the powerful we created this moment for a photo opportunity that can obscure the truth this is a legitimate news story that is correct and that talking points are pretty identical it can forge narratives all right through the listening post gives you the full picture on a jersey ive worked at aljazeera english since its lord as a principal presenter and as a correspondent with any breaking news story in the world to hear from those people who would normally not get the voices heard on the International News channel one they would all be very proud all flues when we covered the new poll of quake 2050 a terrible not shoulder site stuff and the story that needed to be told from the halls of the affected area to be that to t
