the naacp was attempting to overturn the president. they could try to do it in one case what if they lost that would be the end. in the 1930's they began to file cases that chip away at the precedent. the strategy was to and segregation in law schools and graduate schools and work down to college and work to elementary schools. brown versus the 4 -- board of education was out of the list of plaintiffs. here in kansas the local chapter of the naacp from lawyers and local activists recruited, oliver brown and 12 other brother. they had children that attended one of the four african-american's goals hearing to be gone. brown was one of the lawyers that was the local counsel for the case, a man named charles let so. he recruited people that he knew that they thought would be good, upstanding citizens that would want to anticipate. oliver brown was one of those 13 volunteers. at as historians have noted whose name gets attributed, oliver brown was listed first even though there was another woman on the list of plaintiffs who would be first

the naacp was attempting to over turn that precedent. they could try to do it in one case but if they lost, that would be the end of their attempt. beginning in the 1930s. they begin to file cases to chip away at that precedent. the strategy was initially to end segregation in law schools and graduate school and working down to elementary school. the name brown was the first name to appeared out of the list of plaintiffs. here, both the lawyers, there were oliver brown and 13 mothers. one of them being the girls school of where we are now. oliver brown was a friend of the local council for the case. so the lawyers basically recruited people that they knew in the community that they thought is good upstanding citizens that want to participated in this case. brown was one of those 13 volunteers. it is often accidental whose names get attributed. oliver's name were listed first. the case is known as brown but he was simply one of those 13 parents that were recruited and nationwide, there were actually five cases that were apart of the brown

naacp is an historic -- >> how do you explain it? >> well, during the post-brown, there were efforts to decrease choice mechanisms. some states even closed their public schools. forcing families to get around this and naacp comes from the history and a different type of history. but it's also a case where it's a middle-class organization and i think they are the intellectual resistance to public charter schools from that standpoint. we give data showing that they are doing great things for color. >> so you think it's ideological, to some extent, saying these are traditional public schools and, therefore, we can't support them? or maybe is it because the unions are providing financial support to the naacp? >> i think there's a piece of it that's union and it's also more intellectual and policy based. but a large number of the economics of many communities is rooted in public opportunities so some view it as disrupting in a way that makes it difficult for black and white folks. >> you and i live in new york. >> that's right. >> and we

the naacp has been a thorn in its side. so he filed this bogus lawsuit against the naacp that had to do a state incorporation. in the process of that, demanded that the naacp and over to his office a list of all of its members in the state. this was a period of lynching, people losing their jobs, of firebombings, all kinds of terrible things happening to black americans. the naacp understood that if they handed over that list, is like a hitless. they fought it all the way up to the supreme court. their groups on the left to understand what it is like to be intimidated, or did. and they fought against government officials that abuse that position. i think that has been lost along the way. i don't don't know if it is in pursuit of power, i don't know if it's a short memory. but everyone is sought to be someone that anyone should read, no matter what your political persuasions because we have to care about the first amendment and free speech. this is aimed at anybody in the stories in here disturbing. every american should car

this this lawsuit against the naacp was state incorporation but in the process of that demand the naacp and over to his office a list of all of its members. and this was a period of people losing their jobs. firebombings, all kinds of terrible things happening to black americans and the naacp understood that they had over that list that it was like a hit list. they fought it all the way up to the supreme court so there are groups on the left who understand what it's like to be intimidated or did and fought against government officials that abuse that position but i think there's been lost along the way , i don't know if it's abuse of power, i don't know if it's a short memory, i don't know what it is but everyone likes, this will begin there's got to be someone that anyone should read, no matter what your political persuasions because we have to care about the first amendment and free speech and this is aimed at anyone who doesn't, the stories in your are disturbing but every american should care about them. >> do you hear other liberal or democrat speak out about it? i noticed that on

a year earlier, in 1950, the naacp had changed direction and decided that equal facilities were never going to be enough and that they needed to seek desegregation in schools and in all facets of public life. and so the students who had this core committee of students who had planned for months this walkout actually had to take a vote on whether they were going to agree to go along with what the naacp was asking. and according to students who were there, their decision to go along with this only won by one vote. [laughter] that's crazy to me. and so this case ended up becoming one of five cases in brown v. board of education. so brown is an umbrella case which i didn't realize until i started reporting this, that prince edward was the only case of the five that was student-led. and it produced 75% of the plaintiffs for the entire brown case. so i think that that case emerging from out of prince edward county is kind of what set the stage for what happened many years later when the schools were closed. i i think white leaders were embarrassed that this case was filed against them, and

joining me now, president and ceo of the naacp, cornell brooks. thanks for joining me. >> good to talk to you. >> have the democrats failed african-americans in this country? >> the focus of the campaign should be on policies of the next president. and so critiquing democrats and critiquing past performance without speaking to the present and the future does not a successful presidential campaign make. so the issue is what is donald trump saying? what is secretary clinton saying with respect to the african-american community in particular on america in general. to that end, we have not heard much in terms of specifics. much in terms of particular policies that will affect the african-american community in particular or america more broadly. that's the issue. we have not heard it in terms of the campaign speeches. his no-shows in terms of the naacp, urban league, national association of black journalists. we need substance. we haven't heard it from that campaign yet. >> donald trump has specifically called out cities like chicago. yesterday, as you

outside the naacp in the third ward, about a dozen protesters gathered for a white lives matter rally. reed says: "we came out specifically today to protest against the naacp and their failure in speaking out against the atrocities that organizations like black lives matter and other pro black organizations have caused. the attack of and killing of white police officers." carrying the confederate flag and guns, these protesters argued there is aggression toward white people... and that it's time someone spoke up about it. lacy says: "we are who we are. we should look out for our own and they should look out for theirs. the problem is the double standard involved. we can't do it without being labeled a hater or whatever." but people in the third ward, a called their message convoluted and said their rally was about intimidation. neighbors gathered across the street and protested back. at times, tensions flared, and insults were thrown around. houston police were there to keep the peace. jones says: "one of the things that the naacp is supportive of is the right to the freedom of speech

and early 1930s which was part of the national association for advancement of colored people or naa naacp struggled to public education. they attempted to file cases that would lead to over turning a case called plessy verses ferguson. that was a supreme court's decision in 1896 that allowed the state of louisiana to segregate rail cars by gates.

and the protest affected the attention of the naacp in richmond, virginia. and weren't interested in taking on her case but did agree to come to farmville and meet with students and parents there and after seeing how dedicated these parents and students were to their cause. they were willing to take on their case but it was on condition, that they would seek integration rather than other facilities was a year earlier in 1950 the naacp changed direction equal facilities would never be enough and desegregation in schools with public life. so students, a core committee of students who plan for month they walk out had to take a vote whether to agree to go along with the naacp was asking and according to students who were there the decision to go along with his only won by one vote. this case was one of 5 cases in brown versus board of education. i didn't realize until i started reporting this, prince edward was the only case of the 5 that was student led, produced 75% of complaint of the entire robert brown case. i think that casey merging from out of the county

during today's press conference, local naacp and police laid out action steps that could be taken to dry and bring us together. the recommendations included stabbing civilian oversight committees to work with the police. promote positive activities in the community, and develop clear policies on racial profiling. there were also some unexpected moments with police accepting some responsibility for the poor community relationships. >> i think we've gone a long way towards creating it. we've got to step up and fix it. i stood here behind the president knowing what he was going to say. what the most comfortable thing, no. but it's the right thing to do to be here and if we're going to collaborate it's got to start now. >> reporter: policing was the focus of the press conference today, but it wasn't one sided. the naacp recognized that protesting alone is not necessarily the best solution acknowledging that the community has a responsibility to work more closely with the police. they want the community to address things like no snitch rules that block police investigations. they committe

when you look at the naacp, you don't have to go there to talk to the black community. you can go to the thurgood marshall fund which represents the public hbcus. he can go to other black organizations that aresmaller, local. or he can just talk to the american people. talk to my community when he goes to rallies, gets on the camera and talks on the television. in today's society when you talked in the media to specific communities, you don't have to be in a room. it is about the message. as long as he articulates the message on camera through tweets and videos and surrogates and people supporting him, i think he'll be effective. >> we'll get it. paris, nice to see you again. >> thanks. >> we are keeping a close eye on the tropical disturbance in the caribbean. the bahamas and south florida could get heavy rain and flash flooding throughout the entire weekend. joining me now, nbc meteorologist raphael miranda. how are things brewing? >> still messy storm. we have been tracking the storm not very well organized over the past few days. not much changed today. we are seein

brooks: this is a moment where the national urban league has convened in the hometown of the naacp. to up the cause and concern of a generation of americans who find themselves profiled and criminalized by the criminal justice system. that would be the 2.2 million americans who are incarcerated in this country, the one million american fathers who are incarcerated in this country, the 65 million americans who criminal records. have criminal records. the one out of three african-american men who can expect to spend some time in their lives behind bars. it is a moment in our country that has been described as the new jim crow. it has been described by the scholar douglas blackmon slavery by another name. this is this era of mass incarceration. it is a moment that transcends rhetoric. it is a moment that transcends political platforms. it is a moment that speaks to who we are, where we are headed what we represent as a nation. and it is a moment that calls for serious policy reform. what does that mean? it means that we have to have sentencing reform that represents a categorical, end

you go through the naacp's papers as walter white, the head of the naacp is writing to the governor of georgia and is naming the names. so and so, and he works at standard oil, and and so and works at the furniture shop. so and so and da da da. and nothing happened. and so when you have that kind of violence that happens in a community, and then the powers that be are like, yeah, that is white rage, because it creates the kinds of policies, the kinds of judicial system, that allow that to occur. in order to keep african-americans in their place, to stop that advancement. thank you. >> i have another question. we talked about this a lot in our book club. what can we do? >> you're doing it. and this is the thing about -- i study movements. i love movements. my -- i love what i -- how too we change a norm? there are these moments -- for instance, before the civil war, 80% of the nation's gnp was tied up in slavery. tied to slavery. 80% of the united states gnp tied to slavery. when we got to the point we had to fight a mean, hard war, but where the norm changed, when we knew that slavery

welcome. >> thanks for having me. >> explain to me why the naacp would take this position. it's supposed to be pofor advancement and charter schools are for the advancement. >> they are changing the lives of young people and so we're disappoint with the naacp's take there. they have a legacy for fighting for people of color and we think this was a departure from that. >> how do you explain it. >> when you look at the history of the naacp. there were efforts to circumvent desegregation. some states closed their public schools and created vouchers so they came from that history and charters are a different type of history and it's the case that the naacp is a largely middle class organization, a large number of folks who work in the public sector unions so i think there's a resistance to public charter schools from that standpoint. we do work them data showing these schools are doing great things for people of color. >> do you think it's eyidea logical or is it because unions are providing financial support. >> i think there's a piece that union support. i wouldn't want to di

walter white as executive secretary of the naacp. so in their in their dealings with eleanor, they are thinking about the constituencies their organizations and their political constituencies.poli polly represented no one other than young people like herself, she could not deliver a vote, buffoon and walter right could, polly cannot deliver votes, buty as she was very brash and they apparently were afraid to go very far because they were always thinking about the political consequences. it was always calculated. so polly believed and i think she she was right that her relationship is different because some weights she felt like she had nothing to lose and she could speaker mine. there were other young people, african-americans that eleanor had relationships with and one is harriet belafonte. they became friends i don't know if they met at the world's fair in brussels, may may be before the they became friends. he still to this day speaks of her as his mentor. and she showed him a tremendous amount of compassion. when he wanted to buy

. >> like naacp. >> i don't know if the naacp is the right one. he could go to the thurgo marshl college fund or what he did today. what's more important is he has a message. the venue doesn't matter to me. what matters is the message, what matters is what he's saying. he q go to a television audience and have a broader reach than going to a small church. the point is, he's been meeting with african-americans -- >> let me challenge you on that. he's had event where you have a lot of black pastors supporting him. so why not go to a black church. i know you're saying a broader reach. the point that trump supporters make over and over that whatever he does ends up on television so his reach is very broad. i'm thinking, if he goes to a black church and there's 40 people there, how is that not a broad reach in showing a good faith effort at outreach? >> i think the narrative that is out there that mr. trump has not done black events or events in the community is false. he's met several times with african-american pastors. just recently auxiliary groups

eventually his refusal of support from the kkk ended up getting him an endorsement from the naacp. one has to understand that during that particular time, the naacp had been banned in the state of alabama. and his opponent, john patterson, was the one who was responsible for taking that case to court and banning the naacp. so here you have a guy, john patterson, who fought against the naacp, actually working in the state of alabama, versus george wallace who spoke out against the kkk and who refused to receive funding from the kkk. of course we all know that george wallace lost that election by a landslide. over 60,000 votes separated him and patterson. this was the turning point in his career. as one of my panelists previously stated, it was in this election afterwards that george wallace stated that he would not be out in work again. so during the course of that year after he lost the election, he developed a strategy to use race and segregation to his -- to his -- to his advantage. he also, in using race and segregation to his advantage, i would say manipulated middle class whit

the local chapter of the naacp and an organization representing officers of color say they are appalled by the photo which they call dehumanizing. our calls have not been returned. >>> in san jose a strike by county court clerk says three days old with no end in sight. some 300 picketed on friday. one of 11 cords impacted by the strike. the courts struggling to maintain essential services. the clerks are demanding higher wages saying they haven't had a cost-of-living increase in eight years, but the court system says it has offered nine point i % -- 9.5%. >>> on friday state health officials announced that one person a senior citizen has died from west nile virus in sacramento. or than 100 people across the state have been diagnosed with the zika virus, health officials are warning that west nile poses a greater danger because he get is not spreading within the state. everyone who has contracted that disease got it outside the country. west nile is actively spreading within california mainly through mosquito bites. finally, there is no vaccine for either zika or west nile virus. >>> the

the seniors a make-up the naacp have given encouragement in bringing this forward i want to recognize the criminal justice system and the public defender's office, the aclu the director of the african-american ms. joyce hicks and the police commission and various coalitions i've had conversations with members of senior staff of sfpd. >> and so colleagues today, i want to ask you think about the people in this room could i and think about the families that are across the country that are grove at the loss of a son or daughter when you make this vote i ask you place to on the ballots and allow the voters to decide and just to recap the amendments that commissioner campos and i have come to an agreement burglary do a couple of things first that removes all the luggage to the 0 police accountability from the public advocate proposal this proposal public advocate will go to voters with the votes and this department of the police officer accountability is now allowed to move forward and go to voter i an amendment i've agreed to will allow the power of the director for the department of poli

in fact, naacp if anything they're trying to get antirepublican support. so i don't think it makes sense to go through those traditional civil rights organizations in order to reach the black community. stuart: what type of black person is going to be acceptable to wealth creation? >> i think if you go into the community, if you go into neighborhoods, barbershops, community centers, black-owned businesses, talk to these folks about their concerns, their needs. also, another place where i think some votes could be had are black colleges. i think the younger generation, which is another reason why republican presidential candidates are wasting their time at the naacp. younger blacks are going to be open to that message and younger blacks don't have a lot of use. stuart: but younger blacks on some campuses are demanding a safe space free of white people. >> well, you have that on all campuses. sure. you have that on all campuses. stuart: would you get shouted down? would there be mass democratization to get rid of them? >> this is college today. but if you're

. >>> the state naacp launched a raleigh. all naacp branches in the state are conducting voter registration drives. >> citizens, stand up. exercise your right to vote. democracy is hard work and it's essential that people be engaged. that's the only way to have a government of the people, for the people, and by the people, to exercise the right to vote. >> last month, a federal requirement and other changes were discriminatory and illegal. >>> he said he is standing up for what he believes in by not standing. why the quarterback for the 49ers sat during the national >>> makes you want to listen to the rest of the song. >> he'll be missed. >> h >> and of course, let's look more at kill devil hills. we have to talk about that, too. we're watching the storm sitting off the coast and, boy, it looks quiet there. you don't see a lot of rough surf, some waves there but maybe some rip current along the coast, and we will have the storm brush the coast but neither of these look like not even any rain at kill devil hills. >> this music

the naacp turned to the fbi because now have the lindbergh kidnapping law. so seeing what this kind of violence on the blackbody has done to you saw the civil rights movement deploy the politics of respectability as a way to make visible that the only way, the only reason that you were saying amelia yanked onto the concrete in selma is because she's black. this can't be anything but racism. it was a way to say you can't say -- so this is why you see this deployed. the politics of respectability does have some good pieces in the. i'm not one of those who just plopped it off as some kind of bourgeois victorian thing, because being sober is not a bad thing. we know that alcohol and drugs destroy families. being sober is not a bad thing your education is a good thing. but what it doesn't do is to protect black bodies from white violence. and so one of the things about charleston, charleston drove me to this. because i look at that because the nine who are killed with the models of respectability. you saw nikki haley and south carolina going, that was really bad,

for example of the naacp. and i also think that is another reason why we do not know as much about her because often when people write the history of various movements they write the history of those organizations which have been at the forefront of that movement. so we have nice histories of altar whites and there's even a new book about thurgood marshall and people who worked with them bureaucracy. there is a tendency to see the institutional leaders is the most important people. so what i'm hoping is that this will get people interested in polly and will look at, because because i cannot possibly cover all facets of her life but to open that door. >> now now that is a long response. >> yes, is going to ask you what you thought your book would contribute to american history when you began. and i think you had may have answered that. but let me ask you anyway. you're just starting out, just thinking about these two women you evidently thought of as very different. it sounds like as you wrote you brought them

over the naacp. [laughter] >> in addition to being a former college president, i'm also an activist and was pretty much a bd panther and i believe that activism, knowledge and activism go together. stay engaged and stay involved. you talk about the future belongs to those that prepare for it. start thinking about which of you is going to run for public office. we need younger voices out there because essentially if you have a group and everybody's interested and you lift each other up it can be tremendous. >> in the university of baltimore about ten blocks away from where freddy gray died or where he was arrested and the riots occurred. as a law professor i would stress that in this constitutional democracy the most powerful weapon in individual can still have is a license to practice law. not only are you on the playing field but you can change the rules and make them better so i would encourage young people not to forget about the career to get a license to practice because in this constitutional d

>> that is the great part of this through the 1950's it was the naacp that brought this all the way to the supreme court with the court unanimously voting there needed to be anonymity in politics there was an attorney general went to investigate to do with the thorn in the side with the boycott and the others but there was a bogus lawsuit but in the process of that to hand over to his office this was a period of lynching and losing jobs and all kinds of things happening to black americans. it was a hit list. there are those that understand with the thought of government officials said the views that position but that was lost along the way. this ought to be what anybody should read the matter the political persuasion. and the stories are disturbing but every american should care about this. >> to hear other liberal democrats speak out? with the ira's intent the tactics of the irs. the u.s. expose that they were involved to say one thing and do another. and then with the first amendment could not tolerate these examples but then come to the defense of anyone who was the target the power

people who are african-american, they go to the naacp. people with disabilities company involved in the individual disability organization generally surrounding their one disability that the most identify with. i believe very strongly that the power in the future is about inclusion and integration where the tear down those pilots and enable people with disabilities to participate, if they're african-american, fully come naacp or any other organization or if they are hispanic and they are deaf or blind to be able to participate in la raza, and poor people who are african-american, asian, hispanic or whatever, to participate in disability organizations. i myself am obviously as you can see from looking at me, those of you who are cited, i'm white. i belong very proud to an organization of the disability organizations nationally. there are more than 100 organizations representing the disability community and i will say that 100% of those organizations, their ceo and president are white. 100%. more than 100 organizations. our young leadership

. >> naacp offered him to come. urban league offered him to come. abj offered him to come. he turned him down. he has been turning down these invites. so the idea that he should be now commended for, in the last stretch, when he needs black votes, coming to show up and talk to black people, i'm sorry, i don't pat him on the back for that. >> all right. stand by, everyone. we're going to do another segment at the top of the hour. we'll be back with more on this subject and other news as it relates to donald trump and hillary clinton. we'll be right back. i am rich. with fans clamoring for our next hit album, we return to our extravagant private studio, where we turn gold into platinum. yes, i am rich. that's why i drink the champagne of beers. enepeople want power.hallenge. and power plants account for more than a third of energy-related carbon emissions. the challenge is to capture the emissions before they're released into the atmosphere. exxonmobil is a leader in carbon capture. our team is working to make this technology better, more affordable so it can reduce emissions

did your candidate speak to the naacp? >> no. >> that is what was delivered under the democratic administration. that is why allen west and tim scott. >> allen west? >> jim scott doesn't even support donald trump. so -- >> and actually jim scott is the same senator who went on the senate floor talking about the times he's been racially profiled and a concept that donald trump won't even acknowledge exists. >> he has acknowledged that it exists. >> maybe it got confused with the several other times that called people that look like me thugs. >> i wanted to do this. >> i'm sorry. >> i think what we saw today was we saw the bannon impact on donald trump because what kayleigh was about to walk down is a very dangerous nationalistic rhetoric path in which you begin to pit these groups against each other. one thing donald trump said today and it made me perk up when he said you're a refugee in your own community. by pitting the african-american community in these quote, unquote cities that are pla blatantly lazy and have no jobs

>> the naacp. >> the naacp, the urban league. >> the nabj. >> the naacp or as rush limbaugh, the -- >> i don't care what rush calls it. that is a major black organization. >> it's the same exact invitation in 2004 for exactly the same reason. it is no longer about african-americans. it is about liberalism. >> corey can speak to this in that we were engaging donald trump last year, june and july, section of pastors in atlanta and another hundred -- >> in new york. and the left media sent out an attack to say well, why are you going over there to speak to them that somehow or another it was evil to get in the room and speak with him. >> the result -- and this is the problem. donald trump sees -- donald trump sees african-americans as either professional athletes or good times. either we are struggling and decimating our communities and poverty and don't want to get up and do anything or we're professional athletes. he does not understand anything about the middle class, and if you met with him and he still didn't have a criminal justice plan and a plan for african-american small busines
