This morning well look at a project focusing on young people, as lee cowan will explain, its like a Foreign Exchange program, only for students right here at home. Its nice to meet you. Reporter there is a lot of talk about how its too late for us. That its the Net Generation thats going to bridge both our politics and our social divides. But that hope still needs to be nurtured. I feel like we have the vaccine. I think this can scale enormously and i think it works. Reporter how a new Student Exchange program is laying the groundwork that just might connect us all coming up on sunday morning. Back in the 60s and 70s, sly and the family stone was a sensation. With a string of topop ten h hi. But asas kelefa sasanneh will l us, it w wasnt all l fame and fortrtune. I am every day people reporter how did sly stone, the ultimate rock star, find sobriety .

Americas Living National treasure. Its our privilege to bring it forward for new generations. Reporter later this sunday morning, an American Icon reborn. Seth done will have a story from ghana which can only be described as bittersweet. Faith salie sizes up the past, present, and five of the skirt. Our rita braver is in conversation with cable news host Rachel Maddow. Plus, Steve Hartman with a message in a bottle tale with a twist. Well have the latest on the deadly surprise attacks in israel, and more on this sunday morning for the 8th of october, 2023. And well be back after this. Were going to begin this morning with a deadly attack on israel by hamas forces. Imtiaz tyab has the latest from tel aviv. Reporter it was under the cover of a massive Early Morning barrage of thousands of rockets that hamas fighters were able to make their shocking break into israel. Its an assault being described as unprecedented. Targeting towns and cities as far away as tel aviv. But unprecedented feels almost inadequate for scenes like this. Heavily armed hamas militants roaming the streets in at least 2 southern israeli towns and border communities for hours, setting fire to tanks and gunning down soldiers and civilians alike. The death toll is staggering. So far, at least 300 have been killed and over 1,600 injured, according to israels government. And in unknown number of soldiers and civilians dragged into gaza are being held captive inside the territory. Caught off guard, the Israeli Military scrambled to respond, carrying out strikes across gaza, killing more than 250 palestinians and wounding at least 1,600 more, according to the territorys ministry of health. The question many zbliisraelis are asking. How was hamas able to carry out a massive and sophisticated attack without israels well funded intelligence apparatus having any inkling . A catastrophic intelligence failure that israel will likely spend years trying to understand. Some regional observers suggest its archrivals iran and the lebanonbased hezbollah may be involved. Something neither are confirming. In the backdrop it what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is calling a fullscale war, israel has been gripped for months by mass demonstrations opposing netanyahus extreme farright governments plan to gut the judiciary. In the occupied west bank, around 200 palestinians have been killed in confrontations with the Israeli Military and settlers since january making this the deadliest year there in decades. And now hamas brazen assault, which is far from over, is likely to lead to yet another dark and Even Deadlier chapter in this 75yearold conflict. President biden yesterday pledged rock solid is support for israel. But with concerns growing hamas deadly assault could trigger a wider conflict in the region, biden had afternoon for any country looking to exploit these attacks, saying the world is watching. theres two things a young man wanna be a cocowboy or a a gangst.

Some Young Americans head overseas to meet people with other cultures with other points of view. In a country as divided as ours appears to be, lee cowan explains how that same experience may be available without ever leaving our shores. Its like koorper of it. Reporter under a nearly full moon in the unpolluted darkness of a night sky over kansas there is two there is two satellites reporter a group of student stargazers sat in a circle taking turns on the telescope. Some craters tiny. Reporter a bonding experience out of this world, especially given a day before they were as foreign to each other as the lunar landscape itself. Politically and just morally when we believe is completely different. I was like are we are going to get along . Everyone is, like, what are your plans . Oh, i am going to kansas. Without fail, everyone is, like, why . Why would you go to kansas . Reporter why . The better question may be, why not . You dont want to always be comfortable. You have to do things, talking to a new person. It might make you uncomfortable. You are not going to make new friends, experience life. Its nice to meet you. Reporter this past summer, more than 300 High School Graduates signed up for a unique Student Exchange program. Unlike the well known Foreign Exchange model that affords students a chance to study abroad in, say, europe or asia, this Program Gives students the opportunity to soak in a brandnew culture without ever leaving the country. We fund kids to spend a week in the summer after senior year in an american town that is politically and socioeconomically and culturally very different from the one they grow up in. Reporter its called the American Exchange project, or aep for short. Cofounded by 29yearold David Mccullough iii, grandson of the great pulitzer prizewinning David Mccullough. Grew up in the ivory tower. Enormous privilege. I wanted to get out of that. See a part of the country i had not been exposed to but i knew was out there. Ready to go. We will miss you. Reporter so, in 2016 he borrowed his moms maz do and spent the next two months driving across the country, part jack kerouac, part tom sawyer, heading down the mississippi. I thought doors would be slammed in my face, people wouldnt want to talk to me. Not only did that not happen. The opposite of that happened. Reporter for the past three years, he has been giving High School Graduates that same experience. So far, at least, its having the impact he hoped it would. My groups of friends are friends are not really close to each other. So i feel like i actually bonded with you guys more than i have with my own friends. [ applause ] i have never been a part of a community where i could just im not the minority, the odd one out. So this is very much, like, an experience i appreciate so much. Ready . Ten seconds. Reporter David Mccullough hopes to offer the program to a Million Students a year by decades end and all free of charge thanks to bigname donors, including the likes of Steven Speilberg and others. I think this out to be as typical to the American High School experience as the prom. I think every kid in every town should have an experience like this. Reporter we called kaya woo and evan quach as they lifted their liberty blue bubble albany, california, north of uc berkeley for the reliably red bubble of dodge city, kansas. Its flat. Its so flat. Reporter with each flat passing acre their eyes widened, jaws dropped when they passed one of dodge citys massive feed lots. Its sad, but its how our economy grows. Oh, my goodness. Reporter cowboys and cattle are a way of life near in dodge, just as american as the golden gate bridge. I dont usually get this close to horses. Like, its on a very rare occasion. Reporter but also a world apart. Yeah, you can tell they are pretty happy cattle. They even have a swimming hole. One, two, three. Reporter the City Slickers visiting dodge learned how to dance the cancan at the boot hill museum. Cheers. Reporter they drink sarsaparilla in the Long Branch Saloon and watched the sun go down while enjoying a dodge city delicacy. Pickledflavored shave ice. Is it good . Yeah. Yeah. When you drink it i want a whole thing of it. My whole torso is twisted. We are using the big muscles in our back and chest rather than the little ones in our arms. Reporter a dodge city native. When it was her teurn to immers herself in the california way of life oh right. Reporter her peers rolled out the blue car pet. We are on a rhythm. Back on zoom. Reporter while navigating the less than conservative currents of San Francisco bay, for example oops, oops, collision. Thank you. Oops, another collision sorry reporter franely found herself asking people about their preferred pronounce. Politics are, like, black and white. But really everyones gray. Like, we mesh. We just dont realize it because we are so focused on splitting. Reporter after paddling up an appetite oh, my gosh reporter franely was treated to in and out, the holy grail of california fast food. I dont like onions, but it works in here. Re. There had to be a little bit of worry about what are we what happens if we put these two perhaps diametrically opposed kids together. I was a little bit worried that the communities were so different that the kids wouldnt quite get it. Reporter thats not what you have seen . Not at all. They assimilate quickly. Credit to being young, i think. Reporter any skeptics . There is a lot of folks worried that were either a liberal trojan horse or we have a hidden agenda. We dont. We dont do a lot of talk in politics and have no agenda we are trying to get through to the kids. Hi i remember from the zoom. Reporter like Foreign Exchange programs, host families are aeps foundation. Go around here reporter for the last few years, dodge city wife and mom Kirstin Bangerter has opened her home to students as a place to sleep and eat, yes, but also learn from her family. They seem very happy, very cheerful, very open, excited to experience new things. They dont seem afraid or nervous or anxious. They just want to be with our group. They knew different crowd. Yeah. A lot of the time you make the most progress in those informal breakfast table conversations and sharing experiences before bed and things like that. I am appalled when i go other places and there is styrofoam. It freaks me out because there is no styrofoam in california. There is to to styrofoam plates here. Over there its, like, normal. Everyone when you are eating, you use a paper plate or styrofoam or cups that are disposable. Reporter a week may not seem like a lot of time, but at the end of those seven days you might be surprised at just how much change actually takes root. You seem like you are all pretty good friends. Yeah i just learned that if i get along with them, thats cool. If they respect me and respect what i stand for, were good. Sometimes its better to just be quiet and listen and really, like, process what people are saying, think go it, maybe sleep on before you disagree. Reporter there is that old adage about walking a mile in someone elses shoes. Problem is, you cant really see that person face to face if you are walking away. What David Mccullough is hoping is the next generation will turn around, look those they differ with in the eye, and just talk. I love my country. I love what it stands for. And i love the ideals of what we are supposed to be about. And when thats in jeopardy, how could we all not want to rush to the fire and try to put it out with everything weve got .

But in some ways, thats skirting the issue. Faith salie unwraps the rich history of the skirt. Reporter what do penceles and poodles have in common . Hoopops and hobbbbles . They a are skirts. S. Of course. When i say the word skirt, what words come to your mind . How big can it be . What length would you like it to be . Reporter for designer christian siriano, the skirt is a transformative piece of clothing. The options are endless. Mini, midi, maxi, asymmetric, straight, or frothy. The skirt is about being free, having more movement and not being kind of trapped inside something, which i think a pant does. A skirt is more freeing. Reporter that feeling is sewn into the definition of the word skirt. A piece of clothing meant to dangle with the waist and move around the body with few restrictions. I find them more comfortable. They are a canvas for beautiful textiles, which i love. Kimberly chrismancampbell is the author of skirts. And she says as unfettered as they might appear, skirts are tied to some meaningful history. They tell us a lot about our culture anand our valulues and we t treat and t think of wowom themselveses. Repororter whilele skirts h certainlyy hemmed w women into tradititional notions of femininity, they have dramatically demonstrated the power of the wearer. Textiles were extremely expensive before the industrial revolution. The bigger the skirt, the more fabric you needed, the more wealth you were displaying. Reporter early 20th century skirts gradually became shorter and narrower, especially during world war ii when material was rationed. But in 1947, designer Christian Dior repudiated that starkness with an ultra feminine silhouette called the new look. While the 1950s poodle skirt was an evolution of that voluminous look, chrismancampbell sets the story straight about its popularity. Poodle skirt comes from poodle fabric, which was a sort of hairy, stiff, lightweight fabric. It was later after the skirt came into being that designers started decorating them with poodles. Reporter and while we are mythbusting, you may be surprised to learn about the origin of the miniskirt. No one thought it was sexy to begin with. It was introduced in 1964, it was something that looked like you could buy in the childrens department. It had ruffles, bows, polka dots. It looked like little girls playing dressup. Reporter the miniskirt was created for young women who didnt want to look grown up . Right. It addressed that gap in the marketet, dressining womomen wh young but didntt want to looko lilike their motherers. Repeporter foror many women though, the choice to wear a skirt wasnt theirs to make. It was only in the late 1970s that woman were allowed to wear pants in many schools and restaurants and workplaces. Reporter it wasnt until this year that the u. S. Marine corps ended its last skirt mandate for women. Whale the skirt has become a ubiquitous female symbol, men across the world have traditionally shown some leg. Skirts are an extremely masculine garment in many cultures. Think of something feminine in the west, but the scotch kilt is associated with tough warrior highlanders. Reporter and tongas taunted during the olympics opening ceremony. As for american men, brave enough to flirt with their hemlines, how did it start with you designing for billy porter . My billy moment, which was probably my most famous skirt moment, and he just loved it. He loved the idea that he could wear something that was, like, still somewhat classic, which every other woman would be wearing, so why couldnt he wear that . Reporter and so the skirt comes full circle. While it once stitched women into traditional roles, it now offers men something to step into to shatter stereotypes. There are no rules. You wear what you want to wear. Hows the chicken . The prawns a are delicioious. Ohoh, i have a shellflfish allergrgy. One prprawn. Very y good. Did i i say chickeken wrong . Tired d of people e not listeng toto what you u want . Itits trufflele season ah thahats okay. Nenever enoughgh truffles. Hohow much arere they . Its a lotot. Oh okay y im goodod, that itits like a a pricelesss piece e of art. Enjoy. Or whehen they selell you whwhat they wawant . Yeah. The more w we understatand yo, the betttter we can n help yo. Thats whahat u. S. Bank is fofor. Hugege relief. Yeahah. Yeahah. Conversation with Rachel Mcadams who shares a story most of us never learned from our history books. Reporter it may be hard to fathom that some 20,000 americans would gather under an image of George Washington for a pronazi rally in Madison Square garden in is1939. This is a sample of what you amassed . Yeah, my apartment is a real mess of this stuff at this point. Reporter but Rachel Maddow spent the last few years sifting through a ream of sobering stories for her new book, prequel an american fight against fascism. Its a cautionary tale about threats to democracy. Set in the era of world war ii. Not only were there lots of americans who didnt want us to fight, there was a lot of them who wanted us to fight on the other side with the nazis. Reporter maddow, who, of course, hosts a show on msnbc, first explored the story in a series of podcasts focusing on surprising connections between americans and nazi interests. The organizational diversity of people who are on that side of the calculus ahead of world war ii is shocking to me. Reporter some of the most unsettling stories maddow tells are of a nationwide network of underground pronazi antisemitic groups like one by exposed by arnold sevareid. He was a very young reporter when he uncovered what . The silver shirts. There was a group of very farright extremists meeting secretly in minneapolis. They were forming themselves into armed cells across the country to mount a war against the jews and set up a hitlerstyle dictatorship here. The california headquarters of the silver shirt movement. And he infiltrated this group and basically decided, yes, they are crazy, but also serious. Reporter and this new york armory essentially became a supply depot for another antisemitic militia. The christian front. On the inside, 165th infantry unit was willing to give them this ammunition and core indict and hand grenade explosives and they stockpiled bombs. Reporter what did they plan to do with it . Thats why the fbi arrested them. They thought they were seven days ahead of the christian front plan to murder a bunch of congressmen, to firebomb and bomb a bunch of sites in new york city that they thought would be sensitive enough that they would set off essentially a race war. Reporter 18 people were charged with seditious conspiracy and theft of government property. And what happened . They got off. A hung jury or acquittal for all of them. The way it was received was that was a brooklyn verdict for some brooklyn boys, that they were seeing this being sort of hometown heroes and being rapidly antisemitic, even violently so, seen as a form of patriotic anticommunism. Reporter and long before the internet became a conduit for disinformation, the Harmonie Club where maddownd i stat down to talk figured into a sinister attempt to demonize jews. The Harmonie Club is the second oldest private club in new york city. It was specifically a club for jews restricted from entering any other private clubs. Reporter and in 1939, some unsavory characters, including a former army general, claimed to a Congressional Committee that they learned of a plot being hatched at the Harmonie Club that might involve prominent jews affiliated with the roosevelt administration, including Supreme Court Justice Felix frankfurter and treasury secretary. The committee which just started hear fheard from witnesses who brought them a story about this place. They came to congress and said those jews are plotting a takeover of the United States to destroyed the updates and put the jews in hard and we are here to blow the whistle on it. Reporter it was fabricated . Completely. This Conspiracy Theory about this room was part and parcel of trying to turn americans into feeling about the jews the way hitler was making germans feel about the jews. Reporter so this and hitler had plenty of tentacles in the u. S. , including right on Riverside Drive in manhattan. So George Sylvester virek lived here in a beautiful tenroom apartment. He was very well off. The reason is because he was the highest paid and most senior nazi propaganda agent in the United States. Reporter he was known for being a spy during world war i and in the run up to world war ii he is at it again . At it again. Reporter convicted of spying, he gets off on legal technicalities and goes on to run an operation directly linked to capitol hill. Theyd get nazi propaganda into the United States. Theyd persuade a member of congress or senator to put their name on it, insert it into the congressional record. They can send it out in bulk all over the United States. Reporter maddow calls out world war iiera senators like earnest lundean of minnesota and Burton Wheeler of montana as well as house member Hamilton Fish iii of new york as being in cah ka very ieri k. C. But when the federal government inindicts some two dozen people, including George Sylvester veer i can and every congressional staffers in seditious conspiracy why are none of the members of congress indicted . Good question. A lot of pressure was put on the Justice Department by members of congress who are implicated in this scheme. Reporter and even in that case the trial is chaos, bedlam, a circus. The prosecution is actually presenting a pretty compelling case and seven months into it the judge dies. Reporter thats right. The judge dies from a heart attack. And after hemming and hawing for a few years, the Justice Department decides not to spend time retrying the case. And the American People start to turn their attention to the war rather than to any fight like this at home. In 35 u. S. Cities reporter though her book takes place three quarters of a century ago, there is a reason its called prequel. After all, it was written in the wake of the attack on the United States capitol. Do you think we are now seeing resurgence of fascism in our country . I think we are seeing another iteration of the ultra right. And it has a lot of the elements that are the most worrying things that you look for when you are looking at a democracy thats in trouble of yielding to authoritarian imp. We see violence including into the political process, scapegoating of minorities and dangerous conspiracy theories about reporter a rise it in antisemitism. Rising antisemitism is an absolute red flag. Antisemitism almost always goes with the rise in fascist ideation. And its just something that we cant ignore. There is a history here we ought to learn from. Americans before us, just as smart, just as resourceful, as funny, as clear minded we could hope to be, fought those fights before us. We can learn from what they did. Ifif we want a a more viabae future f for our kidids, we n need to finind morere sustainabable ways ofof doing thihings.

Its vintage americana. The circus is back in town. In fact, its our best known circus, in some ways the same. In others, Martha Teichner tells us, very different. Welcome wondrous one of a kind friends and family, children of all ages, Feld Entertainment proud to present ringling bros. And Barnum Bailey. The greatest show on earth welcome to the show with a bang and were ready to go reporter not gone forever as it turns out, after shutting down in 2017, ringling bros. And Barnum Bailey is back. Its relaunch a week ago in bossier city, louisiana, the first stop on a twoyear tour. There is no ringmaster. The clowns arent called clowns, and dont look scary. And, no, there is not one animal, unless you count a robot dog named bailey. You are supposed to be charging. Reporter its different, but still recognizably the American Institution that p. T. Barnum created in 1871 and named the greatest show on earth. Every one of these costumes is a person. It was worn by a person. It was made for a person. These people are my friends. Reporter what was this one . Jonathan lee iversons spec costume for dragons. Reporter donna oak, med of the Costume Department can tell you who wore what and when. Every last spangle and sparkle and jewel. All the way back to the 60s. Its the companys history and circus history and its a good history. Reporter stored in temperature and humiditycontrolled Warehouse Space at the nearly 600,000 square foot headquarters near sarasota, florida, a Feld Entertainment owner of ringling bros. Since 1967. Everything is numbered. Its about 10,000 costumes. Reporter the closing, she thought, permanent, was, for oak, devastating. I have gotten better about not bursting into tears. The greatest show on earth but that gets me every time. It was reporter must have been devastating. Devastating. My history is here. My 27 years of history of my life. Reporter did you in 2017 believe that the end was the end, or did you always know you were going to try to bring it back . We knew it was the end in the form that it was in. Reporter kenneth feld is chairman and ceo of Feld Entertainment. His daughter, juliet feld grossman, is chief operating officer and producer of the circus. We started with a completely blank slate. When we started to think about what is possible for the new ringling. We were working with 146yearold business model. We had the two longest privately owned trains, each over a mile long, crisscrossing america. Reporter wildly expensive to run, with nowhere to park anywhere near most venues. And no longer needed, once ringling vowed decades of pressure to stop touring with animals. So how to dazzle techsavvy kids in 2023. Ringlings conclusion . We have to create a show that moves at the speed of tiktok. And so every three and a half seconds approximately we have got some kind of change in the music, in the video, in any of the elements in the space. The most deathdefying acts the world has ever seen. Reporter and any heartinyour stomach act from the old ringling, now its exponentially more so. Instead of a single highwire, the lopez family, ringling veterans, are walking three at once. 25 feet up. Unique, the boys, they gonna do something never done before, like a handstand on the bicycle on the top of the highwire. Without any safety harness. Reporter Maria Pontigo lopez. Is it ten times harder, 50 times harder . I think its a thousand times harder. You want me to jump rope . Reporter Wesley Williams asked for a unicycle at the age of 6, and from then on his dream was to perform with ringling bros. In the show, he is riding the worlds tallest one. How big is the tallest unicycle . Its 346 tall. Reporter wow. Which is taller than three stories. Taller than a bus if you flip it upside down. Reporter and then there is a. J. Anaya. His family moved from mexico to denver when he was 5 and couldnt afford to buy him a bike. When we are moving around at really high speeds, flipping and twisting and just doing the tricks that we do, side by side, one after the other, it is magical. Reporter speaking of magic, this is the stickon kind. These are swarovski crystals. Super sparkly. Each rhinestone on every costume in the whole show for 75 performers is applied by hand. Reporter how many is that . Guess. Tens of thousands . Hundreds. Reporter hundreds of thousands of rhinestones . Moe than 500,000 a year. Oh there you go. Reporter thats terrific. I love it. So we have 18 countries. We have eight different languages. Reporter casting and performance director julio went around the world to audition performers. So there are hard places like las vegas or like paris or like ulaanbaatar, mongolia for classic circus, and ethiopia, and south america for the more rhythmbased reporter his job was to turn this whole international mixedmetaphor of a cast into a family that is distinctly ringling. And so it seems he did. Drum roll, please. Just before their first show, the drummer, stix, got the family fired up. This so our show. This is our time. And on the count of three we are going to say, welcome to the show. Ready . Yeah. One, two, three. Welcome to the show reporter and with that ringling bros. And Barnum Bailey now 152 years old and counting catapulted into the future.

Its an age old way to communicate. Put a message in a bottle and cast it ought to sea. What if you are in landlocked iowa . A question for our Steve Hartman. Reporter for john amalfitano, the past is present. Everywhere you look in his dunellen, new jersey, home, there are relics from a bygone era. I dont know what it is with me. I just have a connection with old stuff. Reporter and he says no connection runs deeper than the curio in this cabinet. Thats the oddest thing of all. Reporter its a chicken egg. Bequeathed to john by a neighbor who found it in a carton of eggs in 1951. The neighbor saved it because of the note. Whoever gets this egg, please write, signed miss mary foss, forrest city, iowa. His neighbor held on to the egg for 50 years and never looked for her. John held on another 20 before posting pictures on the weird and wonderful secondhand find facebook page. To its 3 million members, he pondered, wonder if she might still be alive. All those people who had egg on their facebook hatched a plan, scrambled, fried hard to find this marry frost. They expected an evan gershkovichaustin search. They cracked the case in less of a day. That was eight puns in 15 seconds. Remember writing on that egg. Yes. Reporter and you were hoping to find someone to be a pen pal . Oh, who knows . We all dream. Reporter mary is now 92. But as a teenager working in an egg packing plant like this one, mary says she used to dream of meeting someone in a faroff place. That fragile little message in a bottle her way of reaching out. Now 72 years later, she has finally made her connection. Here it is. How are you, egg . Reporter this past week, they came face to face for the first time. And i hope we get to see you again. Reporter would you want to meet john in person . Oh, id love to meet god. Wouldnt you . Reporter john. Oh, john . Not really. I have no desire to meet the guy. He has his problems. Reporter yeah, saving 70yearold easter eggs. You got a point there. When you get to be my age, you meet a lot of kooks. Sorry, john, looks like the yolks on us. How do you like your egg . We really dont want people to think of feeding food like ours is spoiling their dogs. Good, real food is simple. It looks like food, it smells like food, its what dogs are supposed to be eating. No living being should ever eat processed food for every single meal of their life. Its amazing to me how many people write in about their dogs changing for the better.

Thats sly and the family stone, part rock, part soul, part pop. All groundbreaking music. Until sly stone largely retreated from public view. This month the illusive star is out with a memoir. We asked Kelefa Sanneh to sum up sly stonones unfininished lega. Repororter evenn at rehears here g goofing around a at a lo cbs statition in 191975, there o one quitite like slyly stone. Dance to o the mususic reporteter the sonongs are americican classicic. But the guy behehind themisis somemething of a a mystery. S sly [ cheers a and applaususe ] and the familily stone. E. Reporter r sly s stone in hihis own funkyky m mixed up hyf rock n r roll and r b. I am every day people reporter and with his band sly y and the fafamily stonone, became onene of the m most influential musicians of the late 1960s. The black version the of the beatles. Reporter funk legend george clinton, a longtime friend. He had the sensibility of the street, the church, and like the qualities of a motown, you know, the smokey r robinson, he e was of thahat in one p person. Reporter r watatching the inin the 2021 documentary sumr of soul it still feels like something new. Not your first time in this room . This is my clubhouse. Reporter Amir Questlove thompson won an oscar for the film. He is publishing his memoir with a title from one of his songs, thank you falettinme be mice elf again . When he puts together this band, sly and the family stone, it seems like he has a vision. The saxophone player said he knew exactly what he was doing, boys, girls, black, white. Sly knew which buttons to push to not only make his musicians better, but also how we receive it, knowing that we have never seen a band before in which, you know, the women just arent background singing, playing the tambourine. Cynthia robinson could destroy anybody playing trumpet. So to have a band that hasas won playing instruments as serious as men do, to have the white guys, the drummer, if youre the drummer in a black band, you better be good, you know what i mean . Reporter sly stone grew u Sylvester Stewart in San Francisco and worked as a deejay before founding the band in 1966. Three years later the family stone album stand put them on the map. Reporter and the single everyday people went to number one. If you listen to the structure of every day people its nothing but the, nanana, which, who has has the wit and the clever mind to figure out how to insert this potent message inside of a song so innocent sounding . Its a Family Affair reporter by 1971, the innocence was fading. The band released a darker, weirder followup, a futuristic masterpiece called there is a riot going on. But sly stone was struggling. He writes that his life revolved around drugs, particularly cocaine. He often missed gigs. He did manage to show up to his wedding at Madison Square garden. Not every day people by any means. As sly slyly observed in his songs, different strokes for different strokes. Reporter by the 80s the band disintiated and sly stone himself was occasionally seen off stage as in this 1983 Court Appearance on a cocaine possession charge. He made a few comeback attempts, but mainly laid low. The biggest shock of the night when funk rock pioneer sly stone hit the stage. Reporter stone surfaced again in 2006 at a grammys tribute. His first time with the original group since the 70s. But he left before it was over. By 2011 he was living in camper van. To many fans, seemed like rock bottom. Now 80 years old, sly stone is still living a reclives life, but he has a house in an anonymous l. A. Suburb. Through representative, he declined our request for an interview. But the real family sfoen, son sylv sons and daughters agreed to speak on his behalf. We are sitting in his house talking about him. And he cant be here with us today. How is he doing . He is doing okay. He is still talking trash and all that. Still, you know, he is loving and caring still. Appreciating. He still dont take no mess from nobody. Nobody. Reporter phunne stone was at home for some of her fathers darkest days. He writes in the book how you were one of the people tasked with helping to keep the drug dealers away when he was trying to stay clean. Was that true . I had a few conversations, yeah. Bro, you know what im sayin . You got a dad, too. This is my dad. You are killing him. Stop. Or its gonna get bad. What you gonna do . Just have to put your foot down. You are not welcome. Dont come back over here or there is going to be a problem. Reporter longtime manager arlene says after more than half a century of high times and hard living, sly stone has finally found peace and sobriety. He is clean now, right . Oh, yeah. Reporter how long has he been clean . In december t four years. Reporter four years . Yeah. Reporter askdid you think y would be sitting here talking about sly four years clean . No. I am happy that i am. Reporter one product of his new found sobriety, the memoir. A very personal book that was also, it turns out, a group project. On this book there are three names on the author page. There is sly stone, there is the writer ben green man and you. How did this process work . There were a lot of sessions. I would say ive counted we almost 300. Reporter 300 interview sessions . Yeah. Reporter my goodness. Yeah. Reporter the book tells slys life story. Its not necessarily the final chapter. Do you think we will ever see sly stone in public again . I think so, yeah. Reporter george clinton. I am not sure he is going to be playing anything. He has got music i know he wants to get somebody to do something with. He will find a way. Reporter you shi sly stone is not finished yet . Hope not. Put it that way. Reporter sly stones band may not be back together, but his family seems tighter than ever. Did you think that youd be your father would be 80, be publishing his memoir and youd be sitting on chairs to talk about him . No. These moments are the most surreal. Not the other crazy sly stone moments, because i think we were born into that. Reporter right. Him just being at home, we come over, decorate the christmas tree. Thats the craziest i its all very wonderfully and weirdly normal. Its a Family Affair its a Family Affair reporter sly is in a place right now which, as we say, let us give you your flowers while youre still here. He is 80 years old. A lot of his contemporaries died at 20, 30, 40. Reporter is he okay . Yeah, you know, as long as sly is breathing on earth, i consider that okay.

Its rare to find someone who doesnt love chocolate. But there is something about one of our favorite treats you may not know. I its key ingredient comes from places that that dont always benefit from our obsession. Seth doane has a report thats bittersweet. Your house is here. Yes, here. Work is here. Reporter kim addison is on a culinary and Culture Mission to change our perception of chocolate. We think switzerland, belgium, france. But never ghana, never cote divoire. Those are the two largest producers of cocoa in the world. How are we not known for our chocolate . Reporter she is trying to change that with 15 employees working from this modest space in the african nation of ghana. What was this building before it was a Chocolate Factory . It was actually my parents first house. Reporter kim and her sister priscilla, ghanaions who grew up in america around the world, trying to keep some of the profits from the 100 billion chocolate industry here. They started their own company 57 chocolate. 57 chocolate is short for 1957, which was giannis independence. But its not just about ghana free from colonial rule. Its more about the spirit behind ghana independence. As africans, we can do this. Reporter as a business woman, she is motivated by some numbers that dont make sense to her. Twothirds of the worlds cacao, the raw ingredient roasted and used to make chocolate, is grown in the african nations of cote divoire or ivory coast and ghana. Yet africa produces just 1 of the worlds chocolate. The biggest chocolate makers are in the u. S. And europe. Which is where most of the money goes, too. Chocolates story is certainly not all sweet. There are continuing issues of trafficking children to work on plantations for little or no pay. An issue that touches even u. S. Consumers. A new lawsuit alleges customs and Border Protection ignored evidence that child labor was involved in harvesting cocoa for major u. S. Candymakers. The agency told us it cannot comment on pending litigation. Today the department of labor estimates 1. 5 million children still work illegally on cocoa plantations. We visited cocoa country to see where the problems start and to understand some possible solutions. Cracking open the pods to extract the sweet, slimy bean, which at this stage has a flavor like lychee fruit. I saw you eating a few of them earlier. While there are perks, high pay is not among them. Do you feel like you make enough money to have a decent living . No, no, no. Reporter the average cocoa farmer in ghana earns less than 2 a day, and its labor intensive work. Once the cocoa is collected, its left to ferment under banana leaves for about seven days. And then its laid out in the sun to dry. Steven has been farming cocoa for 14 years and says he barely breaks even. At the end do you buy chocolate bars . I dont buy chocolate. When we have, i better use it to buy heavy foods rather than chocolate. Reporter you dont make enough money to afford chocolate . Yeah. Reporter thats a bitter reality dutch chocolate maker Tonys Chocolonely is confronting. Nobody needs chocolate. Its unacceptable in something thats a luxury, a gift, that people accept that there is extreme poverty at the beginning of the supply dhan. Reporter he led Sustainability Programs for Tonys Chocolonely until last month. The companys name nods to its lonely place in this fight against exploitation. The two main problems are illegal labor and and both of them are driven by poverty. What our program aims to do is help farmers enable earn a living income. And with that we take away the root cause of the issues in cocoa. Reporter they took us to see schools they help support. A common way many Big Chocolate companies claim to be giving back. But he is underlining this what he called charity is not enough. Boosting real incomes is essential. He says the price most Chocolate Companies are paying for raw cocoa here, a price set by the government, is too low compared to what farmers need to live. We calculate how big the gap is between the governments price and living income price and pay that gap as an extra premium. Reporter for the spring, the premium was 63 hire than what set by the government. Meaning tony paid double for each bag of beans. Tonys implemented a tracing system to follow the beans through their supply chain. So knowing that to be responsible for whatever happens to your beans, to help you to do that. Reporter can you calculate how many chocolate bars you can make from a bag like this of cocoa . Yeah, thats a good question. Really depends on the type of chocolate. So a dark chocolate bar would contain more cocoa than a milk chocolate bar. On average, a tonys bar three to 500 bars from one bag. Reporter three to 500 bars. But farmers are getting just 80 for each of these bags of cocoa. Its still only a small fraction of the price. There is no Chocolate Company will go bankrupt on that. It means the world of difference for farmers. After it is dried reporter you start smelling the chocolate . Yeah. Reporter one of the farmer cooperatives selling to tonys. My parents were doing. Reporter how about your grandparents . Did, too. Reporter wow. Their parents . They, too. Reporter so your great, great parents, grandparents, parents . All Cocoa Farmers . Yes. Reporter now you . Yes. Reporter she said she used some of the extra money tonys paid to make a capital investment. She needs a second job. At first i dont have a machine. Now i have this machine to sew. Reporter because you got extra money from tonys . Yes. Reporter working through these cooperatives, tonys tries t build the relationships needed to identify and root out problems. Right on the bar it says, we exist to end modern slavery in illegal child labor in the chocolate industry. Its a goal, but not a guarantee. We cant do this on our own. We have to develop a model that is replicable and scalable to all other Chocolate Companies to do the same as we do. Reporter if i buy this piece of chocolate, can you guarantee there is not child labor involved . To so if you buy chocolate from Tonys Chocolonely you know we search for it. Reporter search but cant promise its not part of the chain somewhere . And we find child labor, we are transparent. Its good we find it. Thats the start of solving it. Reporter next year the ghana government is raising the price to combat smuggling, illegal mining and, of course, child labor. At 57 chocolate, kimlberly is trying her own way to keep more profits in ghana through controlling the production of chocolate. Adding value to that cocoa in country, consuming it in country, and then also making it available globally. Reporter but there are challenges youd probably never think of in this cocoaproducing country. There is the melting heat, inconsistent electricity and problems finding Raw Materials like sugar and milk. Still, addison joins a handful of other Small Companies working to cultivate and profit from the growing taste for chocolate here. The prominent black leaders in ghana and independence figures featured on their bars are a reminder of the spirit and potential of this place. There is so much value here on the continent. Where there are problems, there are huge opportunities, and what were doing at 57 we see a problem with something as small as the cocoa bean and we have turned it into an opportunity.
