protesters in brooklyn and cities like brooklyn issued the country's earliest demand for affirmative action. activists pushed employers to use percentages and proportional representation when hiring black workers or accepting black apprentices. employers and unions often resisted the demands especially in in the all white building trades unions but some adopt affirmative action and blacks slowly gained jobs. affirmative action policies are always controversial but local histories of civil rights campaigns for ( at indicate the demand for the proportional hiring and racial preference did not initially car of the device of splits among liberals who supported civil rights activism and unions to read while flexible unions and businesses reluctantly embraced the affirmative action, some best teams of white privilege such as the building trade unions led the charge against what they call reverse discrimination and that's what became kind of a national conversation about affirmative auction by the 1980's. so my book covers some local campaigns to open up jobs in the industries in brooklyn,

workforces in brooklyn. so, i'm going to speak a little bit about that book and i think it touches on some issues that are related to the politics of what happened in wisconsin and kind of the contemporary questions for organized labor in the 21st century. you know when organized labor right now is that one of its lowest numerical points of the last 60 years, about 16 million union workers in america, about 11% of the population where after world war ii about a third of all american workers were unionized. as the question -- country becomes more racially and ethnically multicultural in the 21st century, questions about labor and organized labor's relationship with racial and ethnic minorities and the complicated history of labor unions support for both civil rights and some labor unions restrictions against black workers. is important i think we talk about that complicated and complex history. my forthcoming book which is entitled the movement grows in brooklyn and the congress of racial equality and the civ

want to infiltrate the transportation hubs over there also there was talk about on taking over the brooklyn bridge how successful have they been in actually having some of these core. well you know elizabeth the protesters here in new york definitely kick started the day with trying to occupy the new york stock exchange. gathered outside wall street kind of holding hands and creating human barricade and it was interesting to see some of the bankers trying to get through this human barricade to get into their offices were not able to do this so to that extent the occupy wall street movement has definitely fulfilled its goal of shutting down wall street in terms of the brooklyn bridge job walked through in march this is something that is still going to happen later on in the day and we have to keep in mind that last time the occupy wall street protesters walked along the brooklyn bridge almost eight hundred people were arrested and so far today here in new york we know that the numbers are definitely over one hundred and they're very likely to grow as the marches continue in places like foley

here is the brooklyn bridge. the same place where there were 700 arrests made when occupy wall street protesters marched on the brooklyn bridge early last month. that march and protests happened on a weekend during the day. the new occupy wall street action was planned to be on a weeknight this week during rush hour after the time changed so it was going to be in the dark. they announced it in advance. everybody knew a ton of people were going to be protesting on the brooklyn bridge. last night. right here, going over the brooklyn bridge, there is a perfect site line, not only for the protesters, but everybody covering the protesters, for the scene everybody was gearing up for on the brooklyn bridge. right on that line of the bridge is what everybody refers to as the verizon building. now, it's not actually verizon's headquarters, as the folks at the "village voice" pointed out today, verizon just has couple floors there and their name on the top of the building is essentially a giant ad for that company. it's a

what there suspect a permit for though is a march on the brooklyn bridge. the city has said that these protesters can march on the pedestrian walkway of that bridge, but they are not permitted to block car traffic on the bridge and several protesters already told us they do plan on blocking that traffic and expect to be arrested. what we've witnessed over the day, pockets of skirmishes between police and protesters. throughout the day, they have been limited. protesters have been in and out of zuccotti park, going to various spots around manhattan. you just heard the mayor and police commissioner all told, the numbers they're putting out, about 175 arrests. this is mostly for disrupting traffic. there have been seven new york city police officers who have been injured throughout the day. we don't have a count on how many protesters might have been injured during the day. >> mary, stand by. i want to get back to you, but i want to go to the brooklyn bridge right now. amber, last month, people arrested about 700 demonstrators who tried to cross the brooklyn b
