Transcripts for CNN Obama In Pursuit of a More Perfect Union 20240604 01:09:00

My mother really was somebody who identified so greatly with the civil rights movement that that was almost our civil religion. she was constantly talking about king and malcolm and the struggles that were taking place in the united states. because of prejudices and narrow-mindedness, negroes have been held out of the political arena, but i do think that the day will come in the not-too-distant future when the negro vote itself will be powerful enough to be in a coalition with liberals in the white community and thereby elect a negro president of the united states. my first memory of meeting barry obama is that our mutual friend introduced us. there were only four black students out of 1,600 students in high school that year. barry was a freshman. ....

They have never said a book about any european is controversial or will make someone upset. there have been european wars, shakespeare has death, demons in the othello story. none of that to them is controversial. only things about black people, jewish people, and gay people. hard to see that as a coincidence. but mostly black people. it s absolutely not a coincidence, joy. you know, i have said this quote on your show several times before. you know, my favorite president, lbj always said, you can convince the poorest white man he s better than the negro, you can pick his pockets all day long. here we are. a book like rosa parks, what ron desantis and youngkin and abbott are so afraid of, as an educator, we talked a lot about education and the importance in our families. both of us have roots in florida. a good educator sparks a light inside of a child. we plant seeds. they might develop while we have them. they might develop months or years later. if you learn about rosa parks in th ....
