>>> TODAY IS JUNETEENTH CELEBRATING THE END OF SLAVERY
OF AMERICA.
OF AMERICA. ALL SLAVES ARE FREE.
NOW CONGRESS IS FORMING A
COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT THE IDEA OF
THIS.
THIS. BETWEEN 1619 AND 1865, ABOUT 4
MILLION PEOPLE BROUGHT TO WHAT
BECAME THE UNITED STATES IN THE
TRANS ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADES.
THEY AND THEIR DESCENDANTS
FUELLED THE NATION’S ECONOMY
ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH.
LABOR WAS FREE.
>> THE PEOPLE ORIGINALLY
PROMISED 40 ACRES AND A MULE.
ANDREW JOHNSON OVER TURNED THE
AGREEMENT OF THE FORMER SLAVES
HOLDER.
HOLDER. RECONSTRUCTION ENDED PREMATURELY
IN 1877 AND THROUGH THE 20th
CENTURY, BLACK PEOPLE WERE BE
DIED VOTING WRITES AND BLACK
VETERANS WERE DENIED GI BILL
BENEFITS AND BLACK FAMILIES
DENIED HOUSING.
DENIED HOUSING. IN 2016, AFTERNOON, MEDIUM
AMERICA’S NETWORK.
AMERICA’S NETWORK. THAT MEANS THAT HALF OF ALL
FAMILIES HAVE NETWORK AND HOUSES
OR WHATEVER ASSET THASS THEY GOT
>> TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
WHITE AMERICAN INCOME, $171,000.
TEN TIMES THE MEDIAN OF BLACK
FAMILY.
FAMILY. THIS IS ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL
RESERVE.
RESERVE. >>> BLACK HOMEOWNER SHIP TIPPED
DOWN A LITTLE BIT, TWO-POINTS
AFTER YEARS AS YOU CAN SEE OF A
VERY LITTLE VARIATION.
WHITE HOMEOWNER SHIP HAS GONE UP
STEADILY.
STEADILY. THIS IS THE NEW OF THE NEW
REPRESENTATION WANTS TO ADDRESS.
FORMATULATION OF PROPOSALS OR
PROGRAMS TO INCREASE ECONOMIC
AND EDUCATIONAL AND OTHER
OPPORTUNITIES FOR BLACK AMERICA.
>> SENATOR BOOKER PUT MORE
STATISTIC ON RACIAL AND HE AND
ACTOR DANNY GLOVER GIVES THEIR
ASSESSMENT ON THE NEED FOR
CHANGE.
CHANGE. >> IT IS THE CHANCER OF THE
GHOUL OF OUR COUNTRY.
THIS IDEA THAT IT IS JUST ABOUT
WRITING A CHECK FROM ONE
AMERICAN TO ANOTHER FALLS FALL
SHORT OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS
CONVERSATION.
CONVERSATION. >> JUSTICE FOR BLACK PEOPLE.
>> WHY AMERICANS MUST RECOGNIZE
THAT JUSTICE FOR BLACK PEOPLE
CAN’T BE ACHIEVED WITHOUT
RADICAL CHANGES IN THE STRUCTURE
OF OUR SOCIETY.
>> UNIONJOINING US NOW OUR FRIEN
MYRA WYLIE.
MYRA WYLIE. >> MANY PEOPLE THINKS THIS IS
JUST CUTTING CHECK.
THAT’S NOT THE KAESCASE.
EXPLAIN WHAT THE GOAL IS HERE.
LET’S START WITH THE FACT THAT
BE COMMISSION ITSELF, THIS IS A
PROPOSAL FOR COMMISSION TO
STUDY.
STUDY. WE HAVE A COMMISSION ALL THE
TIME, ONE OF THE TOOLS THAT
CONGRESSES USE TO EXAMINE
COMPLEX ISSUES, 70% OF
COMMISSION ARE POLICY BASED
EXAMINATION.
EXAMINATION. ALI, YOU WENT THROUGH ALL THE
COMPLEX HISTORY AND ALL POLICIES
RELATED TO HOW WE CREATED
ESSENTIALLY BLACK ECONOMIC
EXCLUSION.
EXCLUSION. AND THE QUESTION BECOMES HOW DO
WE CHANGE THAT?
THIS IS A TOOL AND I WOULD SAY
DEMOCRATIC PROCESS TOOL FOR
EXAMINING THESE TYPES OF
QUESTIONS IN ORDER TO GIVE
ADVICE TO CONGRESS.
AND ENABLING IT TO HAVE
EXPERTISE.
EXPERTISE. >> THE IDEA THAT WE SHOULD HAVE
THAT IS NOT CONTROVERSIAL.
I TIPPED OFF SOME OF THE HISTORY
BUT THERE IS A LOT MORE IN
THERE.
THERE. THE WAY YOU PROVIDE PREP PAGS
PRA
PRA PREPARATIONS FOR.
PREPARATIONS FOR. I WONDER WHETHER THE QUESTION IS
UNDERSTOOD.
UNDERSTOOD. IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT DO YOU MEAN
BY REARATIOPARAIONS.
BY REARATIOPARAIONS. >> PART OF THE REASON WE THINK
OF IT THAT WAY BECAUSE OF
JAPANESE WHERE WE HAD A
COMMISSION AND THERE WERE CHECKS
CUT WHERE FOLKS HAVE BEEN
MISTREATED.
MISTREATED. >> IT WAS A MATHEMATICALLY
EASIER CALCULATION, THERE WAS A
CERTAIN SET PERIOD OF TIME.
>> THE SPECIFIC PEOPLE WHO
DOCUMENT DS AND YOU CAN
IDENTIFY.
IDENTIFY. >> THE POINT IS WHAT DOES IT
MEAN TO CORRECT THE DEEPEN
JUSTICE OWE
JUSTICE OWE JUSTICE OF THE PAST THAT PEOPLE
TODAY EXPERIENCE.
TODAY EXPERIENCE. I THINK PART OF THE IMPORTANCE
OF THIS IDEA OF A PUBLIC
COMMISSION IS TO HELP PEOPLE,
ALL AMERICAN UNDERSTAND THAT
THIS IS ACTUALLY ABOUT FIXING
STRUCTURE.
STRUCTURE. 240,000 LOST THEIR HOMES.
>> THEY’RE NOT IN GOOD SHAPE
TODAY.
TODAY. >> YES, THEY’RE NOT IN GOOD
SHAPE TODAY.
SHAPE TODAY. >> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. WHEN WE FIX SOME OF THESE
STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS HOW PEOPLE
CAN STAY IN OVERCOMEHOME LOANS O
FROM GOVERNOR HICKENLOOPER,
ACCESS TO STARTING A SMALL
BUSINESS.
BUSINESS. >> YOU ARE IF I CANFIXING FOR EV
ONE OF THE MISUNDERSTANDING OF
THIS CONVERSATIONS, SOMEHOW IT
IS US VERSES THEM.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. >> THIS IS ABOUT HAVING PASS
GOOD POLICIES THAT BUILDS MORE
SOCIAL COHESION.
SOCIAL COHESION. >> IT WAS INTERESTING ON MY
TWITTER FEED I WAS TALKING ABOUT
JUNETEENTH, PHOENIX WERE LIKE IT
IS TERRIBLE, IT IS GOING TO HAND
THE ELECTION OVER TO DONALD
TRUMP.
TRUMP. IS OUR ANSWER TO DONALD TRUMP
MOVE AWAY FROM THE DEMOCRATIC
PROCESS?
PROCESS? >> THE DISCUSSION STARTED TODAY
IS ABTSOUT 13% OF THE AMERICAN
POPULATION AND FIXING SOMETHING
WE NEED TO FIX BECAUSE IT IS
INEQUALITY.
INEQUALITY. IT IMPACTS PEOPLE WHETHER YOU
ARE WHITE OR ASIAN AMERICANS.
WE ARE STARTING TO FIX ALL
