all weekend long american history tv is featuring greensboro, north carolina. greensboro is home to where civil rights activist started the sit in movements, inspiring nonviolent protest throughout the south. our time warner cable partners worked with our staff, and we recently traveled to greensboro to discover the city's rich history. learn more about greensboro all weekend here on american history tv. >> we are in greensboro, north carolina at the military park, standing on the battlefield. during the revolutionary war the british had moved their campaign to the southern department and had captured georgia and south carolina and tried to what they called restore the party, which meant they would conquer the land, and that is how they ended up here in the middle of north carolina. it was march of 1871. general nathanael greene was pitted against the british army, and cornwallis was making his march through north carolina by conquering the land and so forth, and general greene wanted to stop that. nathanael greene was george washington's most trusted general,

carolina and the case that was brought against north carolina. in fact i was named in the case because at time i was speaker of the house. i'm just curious how, as you go forward and you're dealing with the challenges in this office, as i believe senator schumer said, trying to focus your resources on the bad actors, the hardened criminals, the difficult challenges that the department faces, and a case that has 10 attorneys on it, focused on no less than 10, i believe, focused on that, i would hope that there would be some focus on is that the best and highest use? if given the merits of the case and other laws that have gone to the supreme court, that it's likely to end in a situation where it's going to rule in favor of the state and at the expense of those resources could be used for other purposes. i mean, what is your thought on going into this role and taking a look at cases like that and maybe determining priorities based on the likely outcome? have you given any thought to that? >> certainly as we review a case, both throughout my career

it is located in the piedmont region of central north carolina. with the help of our time warner cable partners, we will look at the history of greensboro. visit that woolworth's counter at the center of the civil rights count -- movement. >> is that at the counter and ask to order coffee and pizza. the response was really mixed. another waitress was saying something like, we don't serve colored people here. they came here to sit down and take that first step. >> later, here about a deadly clash in 1979 between members of the kuklinski plan and ask ku klux klan and communist party workers. >> i think it is so shocking to watch the film of the event of november 3. you have a group of people standing on the sidewalks, cars driving by a close and reach the sides of the cards. you have men running back and forth. it's hard to tell when you watch the film who represents the klan or cwp. >> first, get an up close look at a 200-year-old dress worn by first lady dolley madison and hear the history surrounding the dress that dates back to the british. >> t

couldn't get land we came back and ended up in north carolina come in central north carolina where he took a job in 1859 taking ditches for a local landowner. they got into his a dispute about his weight. he murdered the man and was eventually executed by the state of north carolina, but before he did, his defense attorney, and at si dubious defense attorney was writer from greensboro, took down his life story. and so we know a lot of details about, for instance, all these there is jobs he, the fact that he was so mobile, the same things a lot of poor whites did not he is very typical because he was a murderer and not many of the poor whites to talk about our murderers. but having come i don't have those kinds of voices or those kind of individual personalities that come through the way that he does because those doors those documents just don't exist for people in this social class. i have a lot of fragments which iare trying to put together to kind of tell the story. they really kind of filled in as a casual labor force, kind of plugging some of the holes in the labor needs of eithe

welcome to greensboro north carolina. we will talk about the supreme court court case plussy versus ferguson to help with segregation in the united states. we will explore the seen in greensboro starting with linda brown recruiting her memories of the sit-ins. >> in the mass marches going down the street and some had eggs thrown at them and water dumped on their head from the buildings. it never got to the point where it was like seeing this is nice. it was just more than the city could handle. it was that unanimity and solidarity and we are all in this together. i grew up in ohio and they were a little less segregated. not less racist but less segregated. so i grew up in ohio and understood things were different in the south but i grew up in a family that was sophisticated about politics and what the situation was. so i knew both sides of the coin and i felt it was unjust and needed to be changed and my father was very much involved in african-american rights as a social worker and he worked for the national urban league

carolina amt state -- amt -- north carolina a&t state university chose that day to make a stand, really to take a seat so that the rest of us would be able to do that. so they took a stand against jim crow, against segregation, against whites-only access to public accommodations and to being seen as a first-class citizen. they came here to this woolworth building and this lunch counter to sit down and be treated like a first-class citizen and be served against their policies and practices. this is the actual lunch counter area that's been preserved. some seats have been taken out in other areas that are at thing smithsonian and other musics. the four young men that sat in here have talked to us about around where they sat, so a lot of the things you will see here are the actual advertisements around the different menu items they offered and the prices. these four were franklin mccain, ezell blair, joseph mcneal, and david richmond. they were freshmen at north carolina a&t state university, a historically black university here. they came to the store, sat at the lunch counter and asked t

the three people killed in north carolina. for president obama to come and say something about it, the silence is an excerpt of all. -- unacceptable. we should not be selective in our condemnation. >> tariq ramadan, you been following the position of muslims in europe for decades. is it your sense, as some claim, that more and more young muslims in europe are turning to a more radical form of islam and also, violent acts like the one we just witnessed in copenhagen? >> i think there's something completely new that is difficult for us to understand, this attraction with social media. we have never had such a thing [indiscernible] going to bosnia or even palestine, so i don't think we had this before. at the same time, we have to be cautious. [indiscernible] it is a tiny minority. they're are not even going to the mosques. we have to be very cautious. it might be that we have more young people being involved, but still, this is completely disconnected from the muslim community in the west. because you are asking the question try

this fall north carolina's speaker defeated the democrat kay hagan. he is responsible for some of the state's most extreme right-wing policies. pat mccory is up for reelection in 2016. north carolina is set to be a critical battleground this election cycle. last year somewhere between 80,000 and 100,000 people from 32 states turned out to hear their voices heard. this year will focus on voting rights the need to expand medicaid and dealing with the minimum wage. joining me tonight is my guest. i want to ask you first about the movie "selma" and what impact this has had. you have been quoted as saying that north carolina is the new selma. are things coming together and emotions being sparked with a touch of history and a real reminder about what the civil rights movement was all about? >> when we look at the extreme turn here in north carolina and we look at the fact we have a first case of the shelby decision on july 6th federal court 30 days to the date when the voting rights act was signed, we're fighting to win this case. more than 180 organization

it's worked in north carolina. i don't believe it's any coincidence over the last four years in north carolina's economic activity is outpacing virtually every other state in the southeast. i don't think it's any coincidence that north carolina for the first time in 10 years is ahead of south carolina on an appointment i think it was through some of the systematic approach we have used for responsible regulatory reform. and incidentally it's not always pulling it all back. it's doing it in a reasonable fashion. north carolina's upper state in the nation to tackle coal as sure issues and putting forth a regulatory framework to do that. we have gotten all the stakeholders together environmental organizations and utilities and i think we got it right. we balance the regulations. there were a lot of people who are concerned because we had the coal ash bill in the dan river that was just overreach. i refuse to allow that to happen happen. we want to use the same framework that we tell the regulators in north carolina th

i think as they say in north carolina, that dog don't hunt. you can't say you're for competition, but deny local elected officials. the right to offer competitive choices. it's important to recognize we're voting on here today. this item is respond inging to two specific petitions from two cities. the rulinging is enforceable only on behalf of the petition ners and their states. i do hope however that this decision was shine some light on the fact there is an ongoing effort to impose restrictions. on what elected local officials can do at the request of their people. and that it calls out the activities of incumbents to block consumer choice and competition. through legislation. the bottom line of these matters is that some states have created thickets of red tape designed to limit competition. we're not talking here about the state's authority to determine whether a community can offer broadband to its citizens. in both north carolina and in tennessee, the state has given the localities that authority. but that grant of authority has been und

i thank the gentlelady from north carolina for their leadership. i think you can look at me and understand the importance of the federal government for when i went to school, those of us of minority status african-americans hispanics were not protected by our states. it had to be those in the federal government who indicated that no matter what you look like, what your race was, what your disability you had the right to equal education. that's what the federal government can do. that's what this involvement of the federal government is. it is to ensure that no child is denied an education but yet we find ourselves today with a decrease in funding to education across america. parents should understand that. 3.2 million student enrollment increase, this bill flat lines any increase in education. it does not support teachers and it does not support highly qualified teachers in providing for them an incentive to teach. more importantly, my fellow students that may be called disabled, you know what they do to them. they raise the numbers of those who ca

>> jean casarez reporting live from north carolina. as jean said just because the community wants a hate crime investigation, it doesn't mean the murders were a hate crime. legal analyst mark omara writes -- >> initial reports and it's early so we know little. they reveal not much more than an alleged facebook post could be interpreted as hateful against muslims. it's subjective and barely qualifies under one of the fbi's 14 points for establishing objective evidence of a hate crime. it's not enough to make a case. certainly not a case to withstand the skutcrutiny of a good defense attorney. mark joins me now. good morning. >> hey, carol. >> should there be a hate crime investigation at all? >> first of all, my sympathies of course with the families and their loss and the whole muslim community going through their loss. a hate crime investigation, yes, absolutely. the issue is whether or not there is enough there for hate crime. let's remember he's going to be indicted for three counts of first-degree premeditated murder. that act is f

carolina. greensboro is home to the woolworth's counter where civil rights activist started thes sit in movements. our time warner cable partners worked with c-span cities tour staff when we recently traveled to greensboro to explore the city's rich history. more about greensboro all weekend here on american history tv. >> a confrontation that occurred in greensboro on november 3 1979 is extremely complex with many perspectives and many facts to consider. on november third, the communist workers party, which had formally been the workers viewpoint organization, had arranged to hold a parade in eastern greensboro to try to unite blacks and people who might be potentially union members. they engaged with the ku klux klan, invited the klan succumbed to greensboro, which they call the death to the klan march which certainly was confrontational from the outset. members were gathering with neighborhood residents around 11:00 in the morning for the parade to kick off at noon, but before that could hap

but it's worked in north carolina. i don't believe there's any coincidence over the last four years that north carolina's economic activity that is outpacing virtually every other state in the southeast. i don't think it's any coincidence that north carolina for the first time in 10 years is ahead of south carolina on unemployment. i think it was through some of the systematic approach we've used for responsible regulatory reform. and incidentally and it's not always clawing it all back. it's doing it in a reasonable fashion. north carolina is the first state in the nation to tackle coal ash pond issues and putting forth the regulatory framework to do that. we've got all the stakeholders together, environmental organizations, utilities, other power countries edited we got it right and we balanced the regulation. there was a lot of people who were concerned because we had a coal ash bill on the river that we just overreach. i refuse to allow that to happen. i said we want to use the same framework that would allow the r

the police there in north carolina are paying at this point we haven't developed that. then you get the question of what about a federal investigation. >> how would that work? >> yeah. basically it's interesting. apparently there's no specific hate crime in north carolina that would cover this situation. the federal government there is a hate crime statute. i looked at it and worked with it before. again, killing somebody by virtue of their ethnicity, color, religion et cetera. the interesting thing the department of justice has a policy that they want to justify a reprosecution. think about it. if he's convicted of three murder counts and ostensibly gets life in prison on three different counts. >> also, north carolina is a death penalty state. >> exactly. it would be very hard to justify -- again, people could take this the wrong way -- not saying i don't think it should be vindicated as a hate crime if it as a practical justice resources matter you're not necessarily going to want to prosecute for a hate crime if there's three murder counts. >> and if it's not consid

in north carolina alone mr. speaker, over 4,000 homeland security employees are going to be furloughed or go without pay. house republicans forced this unnecessary stalemate by including poison pill riders in the bipartisan bill that our homeland security subcommittee negotiated late last year. it was a bipartisan, bicameral negotiated bill. it's ready to be passed right at this moment. should have been passed in december along with the rest of the appropriations bills. instead, the republicans held back homeland security and they added riders designed to poke the president in the eye and to impose radical immigration policies. now thankfully senate republican leaders understand the potential consequences of a shutdown. they have resisted this tea party bait and decided to take up a clean homeland security funding bill. so, the senate must quickly pass that bill. and speaker boehner must let us vote on that bill. the american people didn't send us to washington to shut down critical functions of the united state

foxx from north carolina. she's poured her heart and soul into this she believes passionately in this. her leadership on this bill has brought it to this point today. and when successfully passed in the house with bipartisan support, it has passed three times with bipartisan support in this house. but it is necessary to bring it up again and to share this with the new senate that is now in place. so i would encourage my colleagues to support h.r. 50. it is good, it is commonsense, it is good for this nation it enjoys bipartisan support. with that, mr. chairman, i'd like to reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman from utah reserves. the gentleman from maryland is recognized. mr. cummings: mr. chairman, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. cummings: mr. chairman, i rise in opposition to h.r. 50, the unfunded mandates information and transparency act. this legislation may be well intended, but it would have unintended consequences that would make

but it was worked in north carolina. i don't believe it is any coincidence over the last four years that north carolina's economy is ahead of south carolina on unemployment. i think it was through the systematic approach that we've used for responsible regulatory reform. and it is not just clawing it all back. it is in a reasonable formation. we are the first to tackle coal ash and putting forth the regulatory framework to do it. and we got the investor owned utilities and other power companies and we balanced the regulations and there were people that were concerned because we had the coal ash bill on the dan river that we would just overreach and i refused to let that happen and we've used the same framework to solve the same pressure from certain special interest groups and we got to a good policy and i believe that regulatory policy will be adopted by other states. >> a question right here. >> senator i was curious about your views on [ inaudible ]. last year we asked the government for some documents and they said n
