as you said correctly, we know that black and brown neighborhoods are more likely to have been left out and have residents who are more likely to be at risk. it's not that the virus itself discrimination by race, it's that our health system and our civic systems so often have and that's one of the reasons we see these disparities in why some americans disproportionately black and brown americans are more vulnerable to serious illness and even losing their lives because of covid. it's why we have got to as a matter of basic justice, as well as a matter of public health, do everything we can to get those shots in arms and our part in it in the department of transportation is to make sure people can get to where they need to be. >> now, this administration is combatting not just climate chang but the effects of four years where science was literally thrown out of the white house window. and that by its predecessor. i presume you're playing catchup while racing against the clock. what can you do in the next four years, mr. secretary? >> i think we can do a whole lot. as you said, science is

over at brown university i believe the african-american population is about 4%, about 3% at m.i.t. a lot of the issues and tonics that you're running on or are pushing are dealing especially with the brown and black community. how is that being received and why? >> i really think you hit the nail on the head. we are a small minority of students on campus. universities like brown have made long-term commitments to have more diverse student bodies that hasn't always been actualized. i think among our non-black community at brown, i think in general students do see this is a very particular moment. it's about black advocacy and about black struggle. we're reckoning with a lot of these institutions that we all benefit from that have his story and in the modern day oppressed black folk. >> quickly before we let you guys go, you're doing this, trying to meet this national moment, but also we're in the middle of a pandemic. three of your family members tested positive. how are you navigating the social change, the pandemic and still being a student and your governing role? jason, that's t

we have seen like an brown populations have disproportionately been impacted by the pandemic. a lot of that was because, yes, the virus itself and the mutations around it, but because of the system that existed in the infrastructure that existed or did not exist for those populations beforehand, we need to do everything we can to recognize. like vaccines, the economic benefit would be huge and making sure everyone had health care. we need to from a moral and ethical perspective make sure everyone who lives in this country has access to a doctor and does not have to worry about going bankrupt because they're looking for treatment for something that prevented them from either working or going to school are contributing. it is absolutely essential on the other cited this we don't just go back to normal because normal was absolutely unsustainable, completely unacceptable, and we need to reimagine how we get everyone part of our economy, but must important, health care and make sure we provide -- what we should assume are the fundamental tenets of an advanced and humane health care

brown. rep. brown: thank you. we heard during the testimony that the department can mandate a vaccine if it is formally licensed by the fda. is that authority to mandate a vaccine, let's say for example influenza, or when a servicemember deploys to an area where vaccination is required, is that expressed authority granted in statute by congress? or is that the power of the president as commander-in-chief? asst. sec. salesses: congressman i will defer to general friedrichs. general friedrichs: that isn't an authority invested in statute, it's for those that are not under an emergency use authorization to be mandated. those which are under an emergency youth -- use may not be mandated except in certain extraordinary circumstances as laid out in the statute. does that answer -- rep. brown: i want to flesh that out, so congress can make sure that you have the tools that you need. is there planning, in the planning and the forecasting when it comes to the take-up rates of the vaccine, is there a scenario in which the d

in fact white people are less concerned about the risks and threats of climate change them are brown and black people and the people who are most likely to be climate change deniers and opponents of climate change or white men. i did feel like i had to ask those questions of why. it doesn't really make sense why would white men be more likely to not want to do something to save the planet. it ended up coming down to that worldview you just quoted where as the social science researchers call it it's a system justification. basically they've benefited from the current system and polluting the extracted system where we are okay with abusing animals, the land, people in the global south, the people that live in sacrificed zones all over the country. all of those costs it's okay for them to bear the people on the economic top to reap the benefits so that is again that zero-sum idea. what i discovered though in the course of researching and traveling for that chapter. ultimately like all of these aspects of the zero-sum have a limit. those opposed to climate change escape the cost of clima

is the most high profile person among more than 100 people arrested under the new legislation adrian brown is covering this for us from hong kong. arrived here at the high court in central hong kong a few hours ago he's appearing in court because he's trying to get the judge to overrule an earlier court decision to deny him bail in his national security case not this legal odyssey that jimmy lie actually began back in may and i remember at the time asking him whether he thought the various charges he was facing could possibly be politically motivated perhaps even backed by china and he looked at me and said you know what do you think and that's certainly the feeling of many of his supporters they feel that he is the victim of of a deepening political vendetta last night also came word in the local media anyway which is yet to be confirmed by home kong police the jimmy lie has been charged a 2nd time under the national security law with helping

so often, we talk about the impact of racism on the targeted folks, black folks, brown folks, indigenous folks, and that is absolutely the center of the story. but if we zoom out, i think it's really important to see that racism is such a pernicious distorting force and so the chapter on segregation in my book really tries to invert on normal way of thinking that it's us who are segregated away from the white people, to recognize that white people are, in fact, the most segregated people in america. they are the most racially isolated and in many ways are increasingly racially isolated at a time of rising diversity. so that chapter goes through the many different costs, physical, educational, emotional, interpersonal that segregation has not just the well enumerated cost on black and brown people, but the cost for white people too. >> yeah. and you're in conversation at times with robin deangelo on who you interviewed and one of the most read books on antiracism in the post george floyd, breonna taylor moments and you use her to talk about the fact that most white people are socialized i

brown convention center, which is one of the largest events. knows that we have here in houston, essentially any major conference that comes through town is hosted over there. the capacity, of course, is limited right now because of covid concerns, but they took in about 600 people. most of them were homeless. they reached capacity. just yesterday after a few hours, but now 600 people from the streets and from all across the greater houston area, her talk to some people that actually came in from galveston to seek shelter. they're hunkering down over there, and also because of covid concerns. they're not visually upset, accepting any sort of clothing donations or supplies, so it's very tricky dealing with these very unusual cold, freezing temperatures and the situation with covid because people aren't even able to be as generous as they would like to be, so we have seen some very kind people kind volunteers that are going out and individually distributing to the homeless. they're providing blankets, hot food, water, some of the restaurants also

she by the way, saw john brown's death. she was taken to having spells and moments and i was so glad that the filmmakers imbued her with spirituality and used it with a lot of amazing moments. did do we have any record? of harriet walking off a bridge proclaiming her freedom. no, but we do have other incidents in the abolitionist lore. so we see a filmmaker putting it together in a powerful way and i think the performances were great and i will say another problem i have manisha for example, is that in the lincoln film people were very much complaining. where was frederick douglass. why wasn't frederick douglass there because our scholarship, you know our circle there are three or four books on lincoln and on lincoln and douglas and yet the woman elizabeth keckley who he saw every day is first slade who he was very very involved with he used to take his son to play days. i mean the black community in washington was very involved in lincoln and as you point out, you know, there there was this importance of connecting lincoln

more than black and brown students. students of color could be losing 11 to 12 months, according to the report. more black and hispanic students started the school year remotely and many without one of these ah laptop or internet access, but that is not. the only issue. there's really underlying opportunity gaps on that's driving a lot of the problem and for young children like eight year old twins kai and kyra. those opportunity gaps need to be closed sooner rather than later is just seems like they're getting further and further. behind erica joe fonzi is the twins mother and says she's really concerned about her children after raising her older three children in oh, ust, she says she's happy to have oakland reach around to help, usually third graders or what writing, you know, beginning to write paragraphs, essays. um it's still a challenge there. you know, three pair, you know, they're three sentences. they haven't mastered the multiplication. i'm working with them. my father's working with him online, but as a work
