I think it was maybe sen years or so that my high school was desegregated. so i learned that song and when it started to become the black national anthem. sheryl lee ralph is a force that many people are just discovering and she is not new. she started with a piece of the action with sidney poitier and bill cosby in the late 70s and in the early 80s one of the original dream girls. most people don t realize she can sing. she is not just an actress. i love what she said, she and the world are catching up with each other. yes. i have always been this way and you are finally noticing more of you. we are catching up with a lot of things, especially when it comes to women, african americans. can i say something? i was looking back at the history of the black national anthem. it was performed by 500 school
Jeffries. will: nba star lebron james was upset with his court of media minions. he was upset with them, disappointed was the word he used. why in because in the weeks prior, there was a story in the n ba where kyrie irving, a former teammate of lebron james tweeted out a film that s been described as anti-semitic. it was a big story, kyrie was suspended, i believe. pete: five games i believe. will: lebron had to answer questions about that, it s the nba and former teammate. then a story last week in the washington post where dallas cowboy s owner jerry jones of the nfl was revealed in a photo 66 years ago in the 1950s at his high school when his high school was being desegregated. and he s in the crowd, he s 14 years old at the time. pete: 14? will: yeah, he s in the back and craning his neck to see what s happening and it s ugly in the front and a bunch of teenagers
After another in terms of vote totals in georgia with the new laws that we were told law with jim crow to point out, you. know, john , joe biden is a rac bigger race card hustler than al sharpton. and that s a high bar because ta joe biden has more credibility. he has more power. i remember when joe biden saidmr of the voter suppression laws that this is worse than jim crow.im it s jim eagle, my father frommr georgia, when there really wasee voter suppression. my father was called the n-wordi in open court when he went to court to get a license. and non openw blacks are votingn georgia as a percentage of eligible voters at a highere rate than whites.e an and joe biden has done this time and time again. he lied and claimed that he segregated, desegregated restaurants and movie theaters in delaware. no evidence that he ever did it. he lied and claimed he tried to visit nelson mandela and got arrested while doing so, he lied and it never happened. and finally, as you pointed out, i know major league baseball is watching your show. sean, are you guys going to resr
Be desegregated. he had evolved from someone who wasalytical to someone who became more and more about direct action. did you get to south africa feeling you could change things just by playing tennis? i am not prezsumptuous enoug to think i can change anything. per se. he wanted black south africans to see a free black man. and the possibilities that a free black man could live. he was letting the ordinary kid in the street know that it was possible for a black man to make it to the top in a sport
if i find they are, i won t be playing. he insisted that the stadium be desegregated. he had evolved from someone who was analytical to someone who became more and more about direct action. did you get to south africa feeling you could change things just by playing tennis? i am not presumptuous enough to think i can change anything. per se. he wanted black south africans to see a free black man. and the possibilities that a free black man could live. he was letting the ordinary
He s just a regular person. reporter: who grew up in the segregated south. i went to bolton colored school. we had no indoor plumbing. honestly no cafeteria, no library. reporter: until he got to the private private, desegregated college in 1964, the place where black power found its voice and thompson found his. sitting in this very building, in mississippi, at that point did not allow black and white people to assemble in public buildings. and for me, having never gone to school until i got to tutaloo with a white student never? never. it was like, whew. it was a revelation of sorts. he was determined not to be one of those people who got an education and left. he was going to get it, and use it at home. he started by registering
Book written business ms. bridges, who desegregated a new orleans elementary school at just 6 years old, accompanied by national guard troops for her protection in 1960. also the story of ruby bridges by robert coles and separate is never equal by duncan tonatia. because you wouldn t want children to know bloc people were treated as unequal in america. they also thought the march on washington would be too traumatizing for white kids. seriously. luckily the moms for liberty complaint was rejected but they and their allies are not stopping. they re accelerating these campaigns all over the country, claiming that books that talk about racism, slavery, the holocaust, growing up lgbtq and more including books by pulitzer prize winner toni morrison are unacceptable, offensive, anti-american and dangerous. and of course pornographic. so they want these books banned. some of the radical anti-history people even want them burned, like fahrenheit 451, which they ll probably also try to ban if they haven t already.
To get national exposure. so that s the challenge before us. one of the things we need to be looking at is going to be committing early to making sure that the democratic ticket is no longer desegregated. are we going to have someone like a stacy abrams as a vice presidential candidate and committed to making sure it s not an all-white ticket. you wrote ahead of a pick in 20 2016 to pick tim kaine would be a personal insult to people of color across the country. so a diverse ticket so minority voters are excited and engaged. who does that? because there s been a lot of talk about kamala harris but her numbers with black voters weren t very high at all. yeah. she, again, was running against biden, who people thought it was going to be the safest pick. and so that was the calculation. but clearly stacy abrams is somebody who needs to be on very
Virginia. disgraced democratic governor ralph northam. he is digging himself into an even deeper hole amid continued calls to step down following a racist yearbook photo. and his admitted use of blackface in the 80s. after vowing to stay in office to promote racial healing. really? then the governor said this over the weekend. when he was talking about virginia s slave path. listen closely to what he says. if you look at virginia s history we are now at the 400-year anniversary. just 90 miles from here in 1619, the first indentured servants from africa landed on our shores in old point comfort, what we call now fort monroe. also known as slavery. yes. while we have made a lot of progress in virginia, slavery has ended, schools have been desegregated, we have ended the gym jim crow laws and
