it was because of that movement, the black freedom movement, the midcentury black freedom movement that black people acquired the right to vote -- not because someone decided to pass a voting rights act. and we know now that victory cannot simply be consolidated as a bill passed because their continual efforts to suppress the power of black voters. and we know the only way to reverse that this by building movements, by involving masses of people in the process of historical change, and that holds true for the current administration. amy: angela, we're still in the midst of the pandemic. i am wondering how it affected you over this past year and a half? you talk about movements -- so often it is people gathering, whether we're talking about the critical resistance conferences, the mass protests in the streets after george floyd was murdered by the police. there were mass protests in the streets even during the pandemic come of course, but if you can talk about just personally, what this meant for you and if you feel like we have learned something -- everything from respecting science, an

the black lives matter movement is calling for a month-long boycott of companies. in a statement, they wrote white supremacist capitalism invented policing initially as a slavery era patty roller to protect its interest in put targets on the backs of black people. it challenges us to shake off the chains of consumerism and step fully into our own collective power to build new traditions and run offense as well as defense. if blm leaders wanted to and white supremacist capitalism, what they get rid of their iphones and cars or how about $1.4 million home in a predominantly white neighborhood blm executives thought in los angeles. fantastic to support black-owned businesses particularly black-owned businesses owned by women, incredible creativity beats all the odds to bring people what they want and need but can we disagree, this is not the way to do it, katie? >> first of all, i don't know how things boycott white businesses is not racist in itself but their statement is on brand with their own self determined marxism, they are trying trained marxists, but i am laug

lives matter movement. it was here that george floyd was killed. and of course this happened during the protests over his death. so the possibility is there that there could be peaceful protests. there could also be the kind of looting an arson that we saw in the summer of 2020. so what's at stake for minneapolis is also huge, but for kim potter she phases of potential of years in prison and for a police officer here in the united states that does not tend to go well. i think some on sean 100 still had on al jazeera concerns of a chinese investment sense. thailand's plans for a high speed railway off track. and how much would you pay for an empty canvas will tell you why it's cost? the danish museum, more than $84000.00, transport doubts have been brewing about whether the africa cup of nations will go ahead and have an update on the solomon's thankless lace wrong in the show. ah. the hello. they will look to africa in a moment, but 1st to the middle east and unsettled weather continues to plague. the levan

i mean, people say the black lives matter movement started the culture war on empire. some people accuse the right—wing part of the conservative party for egging it on, but it's an issue that young people really care about, i think. there was a yougov survey done recently which found that 75% of british people think it's a good idea to teach colonialism and slavery in our schools. so, i think most people are ok with it. but there's a fringe number of people who are very against it and hence this culture war. yeah, but there's also interesting statistics which show that british kids who study history are perfectly free to choose modules which focus on imperial history, for example, and the slave trade and all of that, and actually it seems only about 10% of those children choose those modules. they're, it seems, on the whole much keener to choose the second world war or even henry viii and the tudors. so, whether you feel this has to be forced down kids�* throats is one question. well, the thing is, during my lifetime, there have been two massive racist scandals, th

it was always the younger people in the black power movement in the median age was 19, and a lot of students part of the movement and schools were the younger children in the goal was to inspire the next generation to take power into their own hands really change the world to be what they wanted to be and what it should be and so i think it's always been people leaving the movement and the grown-ups get to kind of erase the contributions and try to act like i was a case because it's always been the youngsters trying to take of the establishment and created change in our country and in our world. >> absolutely and i think that so often when we have conversations about the black panthers and such incredible contributions left out. if men protecting the community and education and i think that all that really you thought that through the book beautifully one of the things that really resonated with me was written on fear that really hit me on the chest i thought a lot about those readings so anything that fear shows up in his weapon eyes in today's present day pretty. >> absolutely, talking abo

as causes that shape or generation, was black lives matter movement. whether it was positive or negative. that affects gen -z the most, and it makes sense. >> i'm really appreciate it that you mentioned those cases and the way they shaped people. with social media also is very much a part of that story. with this people see the -- in the summer of 2016, all of these stories. killed, and videos going on viral, and people seeing them, and response by so many in power and politics, saying well the problem is social media. that is like, no, it is police violence. when people say collin kaepernick is polarizing and taking the knee is polarizing, in my head, it is no, police violence is is -- polarizing. and not so much that america is polarized but it is white america that is polarized. black and brown folks support the right to protest the right during the anthem. among white people. people who disagree, like someone say yes this is appropriate. and others who are repulsed at thought of anyone protesting either at a sporting, vent or during the an them, th

liberation movements like anc and black leaders. he did that consistently. although he stayed popular. sometimes, you know, the black leaders were very annoyed with him because he criticized them when they messed up. he did exactly the same after the end of apartheid. on the second day or of the first week of the mandela government, 1994, he roundly criticized nelson mandela and the anc for setting the same apartheid state benefits as the party leaders. he said, look, the majority of black south africans are very poor. and for the new government, anc government, to accept the same benefits, it sent the wrong moral message. when the corruption increased in the anc government, he was very critical, consistently very critical of the anc government. >> if we look at the most recent government, of course, zumo, anc, all of these things did he continue to be that moral compass, do you think? >> you know, he's remained consistent -- i'm told on his deathbed, you know, to be a moral critic, to provide moral leadership. he was very critical.

some got involved in a black panther movement and other movement went on to graduate school, to jobs and to do other things. they left mississippi. some of the leaders in mississippi went on to organize in a different way than hammer was organizing. people to plant gardens, grow their own food, raise hogs so they would have meat for the winter time. and health care, she wanted healthcare for everybody. it was not good healthcare and accessing it was very difficult and expensive. she wanted universal preschool for every child. she was struggling for all the issues we are still struggling for that. she understood those basic things in her community could be replicated throughout the country. but her support system really fell away and it is tragic anyway. but a lot of those people went on to do great things in other parts of the country. that left her still in mississippi struggling with that economy, that environment. and it still in the bottom five for healthcare. and for education et cetera in the country so mississippi is still struggling. >> is there a landmark to show her she's f

movement. how did bell hooks reflect on these modern events? well, i think that bell hooks's work is so relevant and critical for times that we're in right now, there's so much to be angry about, there's so much to be disheartened about, and to feel weary. i know many folks feel weary just coming up into being — rounding out the second year of a global pandemic on top of the ongoing crises around racism and systematic oppression in the us. but the power of bell hooks's work is to remind us that love and care is actually our most powerful and practical tool in these moments, that we need to be leaning into love of each other and love of ourselves and practising that, and in lots of different ways, not just in our intimate relationships, but in our care, with our communities, in our activism and in our fight for justice. and so i think that — i know that for folks who have studied her work and have been inspired by her work for years, that folks are taking solace and being reminded of that in

and it really raises hopes among many supporters of the black lives matter movement across united states that we're seeing change to the justice system. and it's also for sure a signal to the police that their officers will be held accountable. he w all of his allot, reporting from washington in brazil, the rio if a villa villa could cider, has welcomed a special seasonal visitor, santa arrive not by slay, but by helicopter, as the great children and distribute food event is organized by c, u. f, a grassroots organization created by young fellow residence to promote development . this year santa was played by a black man for the 1st time the group aiming to present more socially representative santa. the food distribution drive takes place throughout brazil in the final days before christmas. any $400000.00 food, a packages are being handed out. that's your news update this. i will have more headlines at the top of the next one. will be now with a look at how various cities around the world of dressed up for christmas. it's all about lights, lots and lots of them. i'm rebecca written tha

this is a case for like with the black lives matter movement in many cases black women are the backbone of this struggle pushing it forward. we could talk about the whole wnba proceeding colin kaepernick taking a knee just to give another layer to the role that women have played in this struggle. one of the things i i found th to get your question is, i found that are stereotypes aren't very helpful is what i found. like people might think well, i bet he high school women's subtlety would be more supportive than a man's football team, or something like that because it would be more of a culture of community in women's sports than men's sports. i found doing this book that when were talking about racial inequity and police violence, people do want to hear that, the secretive knives come out. if people don't want to hear what you have to say in this country, , the response can be very brutal. one of the common threads in the book is really this specter of violence as a response to what is a nonviolent act of civil disobedience, and to me that's a stunning window into this country, even la

christmas movement is calling for people to stand against white supremacist capitalism and pain us. their supporters to spend the money over the festive period, only on black own businesses and to move their finances out of white corporate banks. blanket christmas challenges us to shake off the chains of consumerism and step fully into our own collective power. to build new traditions, run an offense, as well as a defense plex. connie saw economic power to disrupt white supremacist capitalism and build black community. there gibson, a candidate for new york state governors as black lives matters, proposals make no sense. i personally think in law more people think also that it was the extra metal to the black community. it. we are hom, the black community in all types of ways because we don't have the power. we don't have the economic power. we don't aren't, we don't own a lot of retail stores or when our white community, all those stores. so it'd be quite and i was sell off in the mouth by doing what be all iams are suggest that we do it may sound a little no sense. all of us all t

imagine if you were out protesting for a movement. black lives matter. and let's say you are so passionate about making sure that your voice was heard that he went out in the street night after night and you were told by the leaders that it is ok to commit violence, the you can fight, the you can attack police officers, that you can burn police cars, that you can set things on fire industries. so you did because you are taking up a radical cause and you wanted your voice to be heard. then i want you to imagine that you got arrested and you were put in jail. and some of you who were not arrested were hunted down by the fbi. then you are putting jail in washington, d.c. and you are being punished and beaten. but he believed in black lives matter so much you are willing to go through it for the cause. only guess what? that never happened. the black lives matter and antifa protested and rioted all across the country in 2020. the media cheered them on. the democrats praised them as peaceful protesters. not only that, they funded them on their fundraising plat

we have our black lives matter movement, we have a lot of movements out here. we've got stacey abrams, we've got a lot of folks out here. who do you think they would -- >> right. she was all about young people, so certainly stacey abrams. i think that she might let the leaders rise up themselves. she would not kind of anoint to anybody. she would be supportive once that person kind of rises, but she would be there to support and help move that needle forward. there are a lot of movements now that -- >> that's what bob moses did. >> i'm afraid to name anybody, because once you name somebody you hear from instagram and twitter, but i will say this about stacey abrams. both of her parents are methodist ministers. there is a grounding that comes -- and they didn't have much. and they have a big family. there is a grounding that comes from having a faith in your core. that's what i see as a common thread between tubman and hamer and stacey abrams. >> we talked in preparation for the conversation that snick didn't have leaders, black lives matter, kind of following t

we just did not stand by and allow a slogan to kill the black lives matter movement the way that it did in the movement that we were part of back in the 60s and i'm a lawyer and i keep talking about the student movement. you never hear me call it the civil rights movement and is always been a civil rights movement. what was wrong back in the 60s, they were the students of the nonviolence predict the end aa cp, so there's always been it would be the insurrection of 1822 of these things always took place braden i try to put things in the proper perspective so i say to the students keep things in the proper perspective and one of them is he listening. and let's remember that throwing out a bad policeman is not to destroy the profession. >> president of the campus chapter of the young democrats and active in the young democrat statewide, tyler mitchell would like to ask you given all of the events of the previous year, what are the prospects that america can build a stronger foundation in the area of social equality. >> i think the prospects are great, they could be better. my dad used to s
