it was philadelphia. it wasn't, you know, out in a rural area. philadelphia is philadelphia. it's where the declaration of independence was signed. city of brotherly love. yet it doesn't seem to be part of our american history. it's a big enough story -- waco is part of our american history, not just texas history. >> it's interesting because you talk about this confluence of poverty, this disassociation, race, it's sort of all tied together. in this case, we're not talking about the south, right, as we were in the 1950s. we're talking about an urban city in the north. >> those who traveled through parts of illinois at certain years, there was a lot of racism in the north. i'm interested in -- we sit here at this time of government shutdown, and the film is interesting because it brings into play very vividly government abuses, whether it's the overincarceration of people or police brutality, government overreach, you saw that obviously in move in philadelphia, but waco. i'm wondering if the film reflects through the ar kooifl footage you use. >> well, you know, i think it's

philadelphia developed technologies to pump water from the river into the city. these technologies established engineering concepts that are still the basis for our water systems today. europeans flocked here. it was a destination point to see the new world technology. when charles dickens visited us in 1840, he was truly blown away by high water pressure on the fourth floor of the hotel he was staying in. nowhere in europe had he experienced that. this technology was doing something to support the life and the growth of the city. philadelphia, throughout the 19th century, was the major industrial city of the united states. all of these industries used water from this system. and it served as a prototype for many american cities, including pittsburgh and new york. man: new york city went to philadelphia and said, "you know, we're thinking of developing a hudson river water supply -- what do you suggest we do?" and they said, "we've had "a lot of problems on the schuylkill.

i'm also excited to be here in philadelphia. you are ground zero. pennsylvania is ground zero for the destruction and privatization of public education.

philadelphia, 23 schools. thousands of students, our most vulnerable communities, are being further destabilized. not only the schools closing. but because of crippling budget cuts, schools in philadelphia don't have school counselors, nurses on duty every day. the situation in philadelphia with our most vulnerable students, particularly black and brown students in our most economically depressed communities. >> in the 23 schools that closed in philadelphia, 81% of the students affected were black. 11%, latino. 4% are white. 93%, low-income students. these closings as you just indicated are disproportionately affecting black and brown students. why is this happening in those neighborhoods? >> a number of factors. some say in these major urban communities the school districts have been mismanaged. but you have charter schools and private schools siphoning away students. it happens there because it can happen there. you'll see it in the economically depressed communities. these schools have been underutilized to

pittsburgh steelers coming first and the philadelphia eagles. two critical games at home before you go out on the road for the giants and the houston texans. >> yeah, certainly two different type of teams. steelers team struggling, with only one victory, but they always have roethlisberger and big play capabilities there. and a whole different philadelphia eagle team, with kelly as their head coach. so the raiders have to be ready for two different teams and start the season back up after the bye. >> and that game against the pittsburgh steelers next week, the raiders final game in the month of october. so it's a great time to have the raiders halloween costume contest. the game day contest will kickoff sunday, october 27th from 11:00 a.m. to kickoff time at the raiders kid zone in the coliseum. if you need more details on this, head to raiders.com for all details on the halloween costume contest. maybe i'll dress up as jim plunkett next sunday for the game. for the great mr. plunkett and dennis allen and jason tarver, i'm greg papa. enjoy your
