Nascar bans Confederate Flags after a campaign led by the sports only fulltime black driver, Bubba Wallace. Well show you his message to the fans and how other drivers are reacting. And strength in diversity in an exclusive interview, reddit cofounder alexis ohannian tells us about the importance to bring other voices into the board room. First, its your eye opener. I cant tell you the kind of pain you feel when you watch your big brother who you looked up to die begging for his mom . An emotional plea from the brother of george floyd as he testified about police reform. Enough is enough. President trump held a roundtable discussion with africanamerican media personalities and faith leaders on race relations. Weve done a lot for the black community, and weve done a lot for all communities. Family members of two Idaho Children reported missing last year confirm that their remains have been found on their stepfathers property the sudden surge in cases of coronavirus across the country at the same time the government is warning the financial damage caused by the pandemic will last for years. By no means is this over. This pandemic is still evolving. Nascar is banning all Confederate Flags at racing events. The policy prohibits Confederate Flags at nascar properties. A girls attempt to rescue a squirrel backfired big time. The simpsons receive the peabody institutional award. My whole life has been leading to this one moment. And all that matters. I always thought it was enough to not be racist. Im not racist so, therefore, im doing my part. For the first time, i can see is that white people are saying, this is actually our problem to solve. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Because thats absolutely true. On cbs this morning. There has been some Dramatic Police reform because yesterday it was announced that cops has been canceled. Paramount is making room for a new show about Civil Servants to take its place. What you gonna do when they come for you bad boys, bad boys what you gonna do when they come for you thats another way of looking at it. Welcome to cbs this morning. We all like it when the mailman shows up. You know how it goes, anthony. Yes, it does. A lot of things being reconsidered right now. Television, too. Yes. Yes, on all levels. Were going to begin with this because it seems we may be entering a new phase in the movement for change after the death of george floyd at the hands of police in minneapolis. Across the country, multiple confederate statues were damaged or torn down while nascar announced a ban on Confederate Flags. And as protests continue nationwide, were also seeing some progress on capitol hill. It was there in front of congress that Philonise Floyd described the agony he felt watching the video of his brother pinned under a police offiicrs knee. He called on lawmakers to stop the pain of Police Brutality against black americans. Floyd says he wants to make sure his brother did not die in vain. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. The house has a bill and the senate hopes to have one tomorrow, but so far the white house has yet to signal support for any particular measures. How likely is congress to get something passed . Well, anthony, the two sides actually do support some of the same things like increasing the use of body cameras and ending noknock warrants. And thats really the reason that George Floyds brother came here to washington to urge them to go beyond the talk and take action. I needed justice for him so i came to washington. Reporter Philonise Floyd marched with protesters along black lives matter plaza. The street that leads up to the white house was renamed after his brothers death. He pleaded for his life. He said he couldnt breathe. Nobody cared. Nobody. Reporter one day after burying his brother, floyd begged lawmakers to prevent future Police Brutality. When you watch your big brother, who you looked up to for your whole life, die, die begging for his mom, im here to ask you to make it stop. Reporter the hearing was meant to build support for the justice in policing act. A new democratic bill that seeks to root out racial bias in Law Enforcement. I feel the pain experienced by too many families every day. Reporter republicans expressed support for some of the bills main provisions like a ban on Police Chokeholds and a National Tracking system for police misconduct. But they stopped short of calling it a systemic problem. The sooner we get the bad cops off the force, the sooner there will no longer be any bad apples to spoil the whole barrel. Reporter Senate Republican tim scott plans to introduce his own reform bill as soon as tomorrow. It would increase funding for bodyworn cameras and require Police Departments to report uses of force that cause death or serious injury. Lets see if we can get a result and make our streets safer for our Law Enforcement officers and the communities that they serve. It is rare these days to see both sides engaged on the same issue with the same goals. Especially on a topic that has divided them in the past. But it has been difficult, tony, for lawmakers to ignore these protests that have taken place in every state, plus the polls that show that americans overwhelmingly support reform. Yeah, this is a moment. Congress will need to recognize it in some form. Nancy, thank you. As Congress Considers National Police reforms, local Police Chiefs are also under pressure to make changes. That includes minneapolis chief medaria arradondo. His department is withdrawing from contract negotiations with the police union which he views as an obstacle to reform. His comments came the same day that thomas lane, one of four former officers involved in George Floyds death, posted bond and left jail. Jeff pegues is in minneapolis for us where he spoke with the chief. Jeff, good morning to you. Good morning, tony. I know it doesnt look like it, but this is a police precinct. It looks like a fortress. Look at all these barricades stacked up, one on top of another. And this razor wire surrounding the building. Since George Floyds death, this Police Department has its image has really taken a hit. And that is why the police chief here is under a lot of pressure to make big changes. As city officials weighed dismantling the Police Department, chief arradondo conducts the actions of the four former officers once under his command. How did it feel for you to see those four cops who report to you not listen when the crowd was saying, hey, ease up. When you have community that are literally crying out for you to help mr. Floyd, it was gutwrenching for me and very emotional for me as a chief. Reporter under pressure to respond, the chief is backing out of negotiations with the police union, which he sees as the roadblock to disciplining bad cops. Arradondo took command in 2017 with a reputation for being a change agent. But George Floyds death in custody has raised questions about whether there have indeed been reforms. Did resigning cross your mind over the last two weeks at all . Not at all. History is being written now, and i need to make sure were part of the right side of history. Reporter he has the backing of mayor jacob frey. Both believe police reforms, not disbanding the department entirely, are the right path. And while reforms begin to take shape, sources tell cbs news that investigators are looking into whether george floyd and Derek Chauvin knew each other and, if so, what the relationship was. In a recent interview with cbs news, david pinney, who worked at the same club, said he knew both men. Is there any doubt in your mind that Derek Chauvin knew george floyd . No. He knew him. Reporter and that they bumped heads. How well did he know him . I would say pretty well. Reporter now hes suddenly backtracking saying that he made a mistake. In an email to cbs news, pinney says he confused floyd with another unnamed africanamerican coworker writing, i did know derek and he did have those runins with my coworker. It just wasnt george. This comes days after an almost hourlong interview in which pinney described in detail several alleged interactions between floyd and chauvin. But pinney did not back down from his comments about chauvin calling him aggressive with some patrons. The nightclubs former owner maya santamaria. Do you think derek had a problem with black people . I think he was afraid and intimidated . By black folks . Yeah. Reporter it is really a mystery this morning how pinney could have mistaken floyd for someone else. Floyd was 64 and over 200 pounds. The reality is a lot of people in this community right now are reluctant to talk about the club or george floyd or Derek Chauvin with the ongoing investigation. Meanwhile, in this city, the Police Union Says the city could be breaking the law if it breaks off negotiations. Gayle . All right, jeff. Some surprising news in your story in that shot of the police precinct, very jarring. The white house has yet to announce a single policy reform that it supports but says President Trump is considering ideas. Members of his administration have said they do not see systemic racism in policing. Ben tracy has that part of the story from the white house. Weve done a lot for the black community, and weve done a lot for all communities. Reporter surrounded by black radio hosts and supporters wednesday, President Trump touted his administrations record. When you look at the economics, when you look at how well the black community has been doing under this administration, nobody has done anything like weve done. Reporter but even one of his own supporters, conservative activist sonnie johnson pushed back on the president s characterization. I am probably the most trumpish out of everybody in this room so you have to forgive me. The black community is not doing okay. Like i understand the perspective and the desire to put out this talking point, but its not, okay . Reporter the president did not respond to that. Thank you, sonnie. Reporter and he and his administration continue to oppose allegations of systemic racism in Law Enforcement. Our community is scared to call the cops. And thats dangerous. Reporter despite nationwide protests calling for police reform, the president has yet to say what, if anything, he would like to see done to address the issue of Police Brutality. And even with army leaders saying they are willing to discuss renaming ten u. S. Military bases named after confederate generals, including ft. Hood in texas and ft. Bragg in north carolina, President Trump says he wont even consider it. Retired Major General dana pittard said the names always seemed insulting to him. These ten generals fought against the United States army. Killed u. S. Troops. Reporter President Trump is planning to resume his Campaign Rallies next friday in oklahoma. Theyve been on hold during the covid pandemic. But its not clear how the campaign plans to do that safely. And last night, Vice President pence posted and then deleted this photo of him visiting campaign headquarters. Dozens of staffers are seen in close quarters and nobody is wearing a mask. This goes against the social distancing guidelines of the White House Coronavirus task force which the Vice President heads up. His office has not explained why the photo was taken down. Anthony . Ben tracy at the white house, thank you, ben. Americas covid19 pandemic is entering a new sorry. We had a small technical problem there. Stand by. What happened there. Americas conid 19 pandemic has passed another terrible milestone. As of this morning, more than 2 million americans have tested positive for the coronavirus. More than 112,000 of them have died. The head of harvards Global Health institute said yesterday the u. S. Death toll could reach 200,000 in september. The daytoday number of cases is rising in more than a dozen states compared with two weeks ago. Manuel bojorquez is in miami beach which marked a new phase in reopenings yesterday. You have a face mask with you . Reporter after nearly three months, miamis beaches are open again, even as cases in florida continue to rise. Is it the right time to reopen the beaches . Weve been thinking about that a lot. I tend to be more cautious than most. Reporter dan gelber is the mayor of miami beach. If crowds grow too large and cases spike, the beaches could close again. We want people to realize this pandemic is still here, but weve got to open up our economy. Weve got to get people the opportunity to get out there. Reporter but as state reopenings and large protests continue across the country, there are concerns about a second wave of outbreaks. Earlier this week, 16 states reported an increase in average new covid19 cases compared to two weeks ago. At least 14 states have seen a rise in current hospitalizations since memorial day, including texas, where hospitalizations jumped 42 . In arizona, Hospital Capacity is at 83 . State data shows the usage of ventilators, icu beds and intubations at alltime highs. This virus is doing what its going to do on its own. I mean, we are not driving this tiger. Were riding it. Reporter dr. Michael osterholm is the director for the center of Infectious Disease and policy at the university of minnesota. While its too soon to tell how much impact reopenings are having, he is still urging caution. I dont think we yet have found that middle ground that is going to provide for the most Public Health protection, but at the same time, also supporting the publics right to enjoy everyday life. Reporter as state governments navigate the reopening process, the federal government is moving ahead and funding three vaccine trials scheduled for the summer. Theyll involve roughly 30,000 people. Dr. Anthony fauci said this week he Still Believes a vaccine could be available by early next year. Gayle . Manny, thank you. An ending to a story nobody wanted to hear. Family members of a brother and sister missing since september now say the mystery is sadly over. They confirm the remains of 7yearold jj vallow and 17yearold tylee ryan were found on their stepfathers property in rexburg, idaho. As Jonathan Vigliotti reports, chad daybell was arrested after police recovered the remains on tuesday. We are aware those remains are the remains of children, which we believe is an aggravating foorkt. Reporter chad daylegal appeared before a judge over Video Conference wednesday facing felony charges for willfully destroying or concealing human remains. Those remains unearthed on his property by police and the fbi were identified as his stepchildren by the families of jj and tylee saying in a joint statement, we are filled with ufathomable sadness that these two bright stars were stolen from us. Theyve been holding on to the slimmest of hopes for so long, praying that some by some chance these kids were alive in some compound some place. Reporter Rich Robertson is a private investigator who worked for the family. He points out that this was the second search of the property and this time authorities somehow knew where to look. That either came from some people sources or from some electronic surveillance of some kind or some combination of those things. Reporter medical examiners will conduct an autopsy to determine how and when the children were killed. They were last seen in september shortly before their mother lori vallow and chad daybell married and suddenly relocated to hawaii without the children. Vallow was extradited to idaho in march for failing to produce the children. She remains in jail on 1 million bail, a fate now shared by her husband. Police are looking into the couples doomsday beliefs as a possible motive here. They are also investigating the suspicious deaths of daybell and vallows former spouses. Both died in the months leading up to their wedding. Anthony . The ending we all feared but hoped we wouldnt see. Jonathan, thank you very much.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. I want you to take a close look at this stock car racing in virginia last night. Youll see it is carrying the message black lives matter. Inside that vehicle, the driver is Bubba Wallace, the only africanamerican driver working full time in nascar cup races. A few hours before that race after a campaign led by wallace, nascar announced it would ban the confederate battle flag from all of its races and venues. Our national correspondent, Jericka Duncan, is following reaction to that major shift. Wallace is the first black driver in nearly 50 years full time in nascar. What are people saying about what hes been able to accomplish here . Reporter you know, some of those comments i read i cant even repeat on television. But suffice it to say, a lot of people are upset. And even some said that they are done with this sport because of that action. Others see it as a sign that the sport is moving in the right direction. And finally catching up to the times. I havent really slept much thinking about this race. Everything thats going into it. Everything going on in the world. Trying to race to change the world. Reporter that was 26yearold Bubba Wallace hours before he hit the track wednesday night at martinsville speedway. Exiting and bubba same time. Reporter his car was painted all black to promote racial equality. Hardly a scrape. Reporter with black lives matter painted on each side as well as the words compassion, love, and understanding. Its not that were saying no other lives matter. Its were trying to say that black lives matter, too. Reporter wallaces drive for equality on the racetrack came two days after he challenged his sport to make progress in the stands, too. To get rid of all Confederate Flags. Reporter it appears nascar was listening, announcing a ban on the flag hours before wednesday nights race. In a statement, the association said in part, the presence of the Confederate Flag at nascar events runs contrary to our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment. This is a big deal. It is. But it has been a long time coming. Reporter john coski is a historian at the American Civil War museum. Theres a very clear track record of its use and as a symbol of White Supremacy and backlash against civil rights. Thats a very real tradition. Reporter the Confederate Flag is a regular sight among nascar crowds, some believe it is tied to racing culture which means for people like driver Ray Ciccarelli the ban is not welcome. In a facebook post, he said hes ending his career over the changes, adding, i could care less about the Confederate Flag, but there are people that do, and it doesnt make them a racist. He called nascars decision political bs. Start your engines reporter seventime nascar champion Jimmie Johnson disagrees. This is really a personal thing for me. I mean, i know some want to make their political all these injustices and inequalities that exist. To me its kind of simple. If we start with being kind first. Reporter with regard to the Confederate Flag and we keep them in the history books and not have them flying in the sky at the racetracks. Reporter as for nascars only fulltime black driver, Bubba Wallace calls this a Pivotal Moment in the sports history. It creates doors and allows the community to come together as one. That was Jericka Duncan reporting. Nobody wants to ignore history here, anthony. But there is a way that we have to put it in perspective. I like what Jimmie Johnson said, you know, it all starts with kindness. People need to look at this in a different light maybe. Yep. I couldnt agree with you more. I think its very simple. Its not saying were not trying to rewrite history. Were saying this flag upsets a lot of people. Thats what Bubba Wallace is saying. Gayle . Uhhuh. We are not changing history here.

One photo shows the words black lives matter painted on a washington, d. C. , street. Another image shows the charred remains of the torched minneapolis nightclub where george floyd and Derek Chauvin worked security. The u. S. Government is also using satellites in the fight against the coronavirus. Only on cbs this morning, were getting an inside look at the Pentagon Agency responsible for satellite intelligence. Senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge is at the pentagon. How does this work . Reporter well, good morning. The National Geospatial Intelligence Agency or nga has a unique position straddling the pentagon and the u. S. Intelligence community where it collects and analyzes the sharpest images to track terrorist targets and spy on adversaries overseas. Now these powerful tools are trained on covid19. From above, iconic landmarks before and after coronavirus hit provide a dramatic slideshow. Watch the crowds vanish from the vatican st. Peters square. To Tiananmen Square and miami beach. It was like the World Without humanity. In many cases it was. Reporter nga director stacey dixon doesnt just look for whats missing. Shes searching for whats been added. [ cheers ] reporter in germany, the oktoberfest venue became a covid testing site. Last month, a satellite spotted these Chinese Military planes on a base that used to be a reef in the south china sea. Despite the pandemic, countries are still doing things that our military, our policymakers need to understand. As the satellites fly overhead, you can see what the change is on that day. Reporter the highest ranking woman of color in the u. S. Intelligence community, dixon says these snapshots share with the state department, cdc, and Homeland Security and provide extraordinary detail. We can get a report through a human source or signal source, and then when a satellite passes over, you can confirm whether or not the activity took place. Reporter her agency relies on partners like Maxar Technologies for unclassified images. The imagery can be shared widely and often it. Reporter steve woods team tracked the construction of emergency hospitals in wuhan, china, that just last august looked like this. Largely an empty parking lot. Reporter by january it was completely transformed. This is like multiple convention centers. Thats how big it is. Thats right. 1,600 beds reportedly. But multiple other support buildings. All done within a space of about two weeks. Reporter the department of Homeland Security later concluded the Chinese Government intentionally concealed the severity of covid19 in early january while it stockpiled medical supplies. From an intelligence perspective, this image tells you that the Chinese Government understood that they had a real crisis on their hands. I believe thats right. Reporter as covid19 spread to the middle east, irans government seemed to minimize the pandemic. From the sky, massive new graves were detected in the city. How did you take social media and then marry it up with the satellite images . We had videos that were surfacing that showed people walking to a cemetery that were showing large trenches that had been prepared in case of the growing pandemic. Reporter this debris provided another clue. That was most likely lime to help prevent against the spread of infection. A photo doesnt lie. Its just the facts. Reporter with global protests unfolding as the u. S. And other nations reopen, there are new covid hot spots. Now satellite imagery could help show the way forward. It really gives a sense to know if countries are really recovering the way that theyre portraying themselves to be recovering. Reporter its that fact check. Fact check, exactly. Reporter satellite imagery can help develop better ways to social distance if theres a second wave of covid or an entirely new virus, anthony. Extraordinary detail they can see from space.

Boston removed the statue of Christopher Columbus from a park this morning one day after protesters cut off its head. It follows a chaotic night in portsmouth, virginia. A fire was set, four statues taken down. One person hit with it when it fell was hurt. In richmond, a statue of confederate president Jefferson Davis was hit. And in st. Paul, minnesota, a tenfoot statue of Christopher Columbus was toppled outside the capital. In washington, d. C. , House Speaker nancy pelosi was renewed her call to remove 11 statues on capitol hill. This is far from over. Yeah. Theres a lot of momentum to remove these statues, vlad, as we saw last week. Governor of november moving to take down the robert e. Lee statue in richmond. The mayor of richmond wants all confederate monuments taken down. Hell move to do that next months. So this is an ongoing story. What else have you got . Whats next . All right. Protest signs for george floyd will make their way into the smithsonian. Curators are collecting posters and memorials from a fence put up last week to block demonstrators from Lafayette Square outside the white house. The colorful signs protest racism and Police Brutality. Officials say they recognize the historical significance of the moment and are working to capture it as a variety of perspectives. As a young man, my visit toet Civil Rights Museum in message face, some of the more memorable show signs from the 50s and 60s like the one that was i am a man, one that was profound and deep. Its funny that you said that. I was going to say, theyve got a great im a man poster. The thing i like at the smithsonian and you see the older posters it does bring a different sense of perspective. Its also very nostalgic, but also very powerful. So while it may look very, you know it may not look so important now, wait until years later. People can see what happened in the year 2020. I think the i think this is h. You have another inspirational story as you always do. This is one of my favorite stories weve done on what to watch.

She tells me she could not be prouder of her daughter. Thats so great. She talked about law school since second grade. She has a life plan written on a napkin that i take to the refrige taped to the refrigerator last summer. And everything she said was going to happen is happening. So melinda tweeted the video wednesday morning with the caption if you need to see a little black joy, clearly 13 million viewers, and this guy needed exactly that, tony. I love that video, vlad.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Im gayle king with Tony Dokoupil and anthony mason. Crying for justice. George floyds brother makes a plead to congress on police withdrew ta brutality. Familiar fight. Wes moore shows us how this compares to freddie grays des. And the long tradition of protests and the impact on the nations history. But first, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. George floyds brother described the agony of watching his brother pinned under the Police Officers knee. Its rare to see both sides engaged on the same issue with the same goals especially on an issue that divided them in the past. Since George Floyds death, this Police Department, the image has taken a hit. Thats why the police chief here is under a lot of pressure to make big changes. President trump is planning to resume his Campaign Rallies next friday, but its not clear how the campaign plans to do that safely. Police are looking into the couples beliefs as a possible motive here. Theyre also investigating the suspicion deaths of the former spouses. As States Government navigate the reopening process, the federal government is moving ahead in funding three vaccine trials. There are people excited to get back to work. I had no idea the person who would be the most excited would be a guy managing traffic at a mcdonalds drive through in wales. Welcome to cbs this morning. Anthony, its like that thing where they say dance like nobodys watching. That person is clearly very comfortable in their own skin. I love it. I love to see that kind of joy. Yeah. I wish he was directing traffic on my corner, gayle. We start this hour with an outpouring of emotion on capitol hill as the brother of george floyd testified to congress, speaking to the house judiciary committee. He held back tears as he challenged lawmakers to use their power to bring lasting change. The people elected you to speak for them, to make positive change, georges name means something. You have an opportunity here today to make your names mean something too. Im hear to ask you to make it stop. Stop the pain. Stop us from being tired. George called for help and he was ignored. Please listen to the call im making to you now. After testifying, floyd joined protesters on the streets of washington. House democrats have already proposed legislation to reform policing, and republican senator tim scott could introduce his own bill as early as tomorrow. Well, as those discussions continue on capitol hill, one of a cofounder is revealing how they plan to contribute in the fight against racism. The father of a twoyearold daughter with serena williams. He urged the board to replace him with a black candidate. He also promised to donate future gains on his stock that are initiatives for the black community. I didnt arrive at this easily. It was absolutely a hard decision. Thinking back, especially on a position our country has been in, and then especially in the last few weeks, i realized i needed to look at myself, look in the mirror and see what i could do to help contribute some real positive change so that i could look my daughter in the eye when hes a little bit older and she asks me what i did to help make this country and this world a little bit better for her, and for a whole lot of people who look like her. Alexis cofounded reddit in 2005. He has served as executive chairman since 2015. He is married to serena williams. They are parents to an adorable twoyearold daughter, olympia. Fatherhood played a big role in his decision to resign from the board, and his request to be replaced by a black candidate. Im struck you said it was a hard decision. What was the hardest thing about it for you . You know, reddit was my first child. I started it right out of college. I was a kid who walked out of an lsat who decided he wanted to become an entrepreneur. Looking inward, it was a hard decision until it was really easy when i remembered my greatest creation is that a company, its my tower. And i want her to be proud of her father. Youve certainly done that, andly say listen, your skill set is vast, including braiding your daughters hair. Every time i see that picture, it makes me smile. Thats growth. Whether its learning how to braid my daughters beautiful hair or growing to accept my own blind spots, the growth mind set is so important. Yesterday reddit got the message and adding a tech ceo of the board. Couldnt you have said were going to add a black person to the board . Did you have to step down . I think there is something symbolic about someone in my position stepping aside as a way to say, were not just going to make sure that you have a seat at the table. Im going to give up my seat so you can have it. I do believe in what that represents. And i hope it makes boardrooms across the country look around the table and say who are we serving . Who is our community . He says more diversity is in the best interest ofred dit. They have faced criticism because hate speech has not been moderated on the Message Boards in the platform, but his Venture Company is investing in companies that target hate online. If we follow the support online and offline, well see more and more tech businesses taking responsibility over not just the content on their platforms, but also the diversity of their work forces. As you know, there are very few black faces in the boardroom. You thought about that too, and your own experience in the boardroom. I have never walked in a room and not felt 100 welcomed there. At times when i really shouldnt have been. Because of my inexperience or because of my youth or because of my whatever. But that is the privilege i have walked my life. There are things my wife checks me on that i am doing with the best of intentions but still require me to feel that pain, and then big deeper. What has she helped you see that you didnt see before . There are situations where i default, expect, to be heard. Because all of my life when i bring something up, im generally in a position where someone is going to hear me, take my side, and trust what i have to say. And i take that for granted. And its not until i am talking to my wife about things that i really understand that that is not a luxury she has had. Do you think you would have come away around to this way of thinking if you would not had been with serena in particular . I would love to say yes, but to see look, to have the front row seat to her, everything she has to endure, much of it is never reported on. That made the education come quickly, especially when its someone you love. Alexis, nobody likes to be called out. People get very defensive. That seems to be changes, but i think it is. It is changing. That discomfort that we feel physically when we push ourselves to go further is something that we usually embrace. Right . We know thats where growth happens. Thats where muscles are tearing just a little bit so they regrow stronger. These conversations are that same kind of exercise. Theyre that same kind of discomfort for our brains and souls. At the end of the day, if what were asking is privileged white people to be able to feel a little bit of discomfort to have a hard conversation, thats its a very reasonable ask. Yeah. Alexis is saying lean in, white people. Lean in. Enjoy the discomfort. I appreciated his candor. Hes walking the walk and talking the talk. The first million in his profits in his the first million will go to Collin Kaepernicks know your rights. So hes pledging his future reddit gains and the first million because he believes Collin Kaepernick has transcended sports and will show hes on the right side of history. Tony, i enjoyed talked to him. I appreciated his candor. If you noted on the wall in the room where he did the interview, it did pain is growth. Pain is growth. He believes that. I did notice that. Hes clearly comfortable with being uncomfortable and wants others to be as well. The symbolism is so big right now. It is not going to be enough to have the best of intentions. Its not going to be enough to follow the golden rule and treat everyone the same. If we are going to fix the problem of inequality, its going to have to take intention and action. And i think alexis is putting it on the line for the rest of us to say look, its going to be sacrifices. Well, yeah. I mean, i think his point about stepping down as a way of showing were not just willing to give a seat on the board to a black person, were willing to give up our seat to allow a black person in. Very symbolic. It doesnt sound like a big difference, but its actually a huge difference, i think. Oh, youre so right, anthony. Its huge, and the reaction from the tech world and the business community, he says, has been positive. Hes gotten a lot of calls from people saying how did you do . What to do, that they want to engage. I think its important. Hes sending a strong message. Thank you very jake. Seresto, seresto, seresto.

Safety is even more important to makz3wvoz z1s6z home y3wvoy y1s6y pulitzer prizewinning journalist Wesley Lowery has extensively covered deadly shootings by Police Officers and the black lives Matter Movement. Lowery is now a correspondent for 60 and 6, lucky for them, which features 60 minutes style storytelling in sixminute episodes. Premieres on the streaming app quibi. 60 and 6 is produced by cbs news, part of viacomcbs, an investor in quibi. Hes been covering the death in minneapolis of george floyd. In the First Episode he speaks with floyds brother. You heard from some families. Eric garners mother is here. Shes here. Shes here. Loving mom, i can tell. She reminds me of my mother. When i was looking at her, talking to her, i was hurt just sitting there talking to her. I didnt want to talk to her because i i knew her son passed away saying i cant breathe. I cant breathe. My brother passed away the same way. I didnt want that. Nobody should have to endure that. Its not right. Its not right. Boy, Wesley Lowery joins us now from minneapolis. Wesley lowery, its so good to see you. May i say your atlantic piece, the breaking point, is must, must, must read. Im glad to talk to you. Youve been covering the black lives Matter Movement for ten years. And unfortunately maybe fortunately you know the subject very, very well. Everybody keeps saying that this is different. Does it feel different to you . With all that you know . Of course, well, thank you so much for having me this morning. And what a heartbreaking clip. The whole interview with George Floyds brother was just miserable in the way you could feel and hear his pain about everything that was going on. This does feel different. This moment does feel different. I lay out in this article that was published at the atlantic yesterday, one of the things we talk about in the segments on 60 and 6 for quibi that in this moment, you have what is just the latest in a series of these videos. Weve seen so many of them, right. Going back years. Walter scott, tamir rice, philando castile, we all know the names, sandra bland. And two Different Things were happening. Black people were getting exhausted watching these videos, another one and another one and another one. And meanwhile, white americans were saying, maybe this isnt just one bad police officer, maybe this isnt just one isolated incident. And so what we saw was you had two different groups of people reaching their breaking point. Black americans who were saying i cant deal with this anymore and white americans who were saying, we have to deal with this. Were in a moment right now where its clear when you go to demonstrations ive been here in minneapolis, i was back home in d. C. Covering protests for a bit. Ive got colleagues across we all have colleagues across the country. When you look at the people in the streets, its a diverse set of folks in a way thats very different than 2014, 2015, 2016. No one wants to wash another of these videos. The young people are talking to their parents, too, in a way that ive never heard before, wesley. It does seem like the perfect storm of pain. It really does feel like that. What specifically did you learn in minneapolis while you were there on the ground . Certainly. So minneapolis is a fascinating city because minneapolis is has been on the front lines of this fight and this movement as much as any other place. People forget that there was a Police Shooting of a young black man named jamar clark in 2015. And there was massive protests here in minneapolis as a result of that. You push forward and philando castile, killed in suburban minneapolis. One of the videos, the shootings that everyone knows about. And so this isnt the first time this city has been in the spotlight. This isnt the first time theres been activism in this city. Beyond that, minneapolis is a city that has tried to do a lot of things. Theyve passed a lot of reforms. They have a black police chief who many people consider to be a great reformer, really nice guy. They elected a wave of progressive leaders here and in st. Paul, and yet, the shootings keep conditioning and deaths keep keep continuing and deaths keep continuing. Its a case of study does it need to be bigger, more sweeping change, or will small reforms answer the question. What the activists would say now is it needs to be more. I hope you can answer in a answer this question quickly because you were on a team that created a nationwide police data base of Police Officers. What was what are you hoping why did you do that . And how is it being used . Maybe just answer how its being used since were short on time. Of course, the the washington times, we and my colleagues created a data base of every faces Police Shooting in the every fatal Police Shooting in the country. Youll find every shooting since january 1st, 2015. The federal government doesnt track this data. So how do we have a conversation about how to have fewer Police Shootings if we dont know how many there are, right . Everyone wants to live in a world where police dont kill people including the police. In order to make that world, weve got to know how often it happens and analyze those cases. All right. All right, Wesley Lowery. Thank you so much for your time. Really looking forward to seeing your piece. I think youre a terrific reporter. You can wash 60 and 6 sunday on the mobile streaming app, its called quibi. Hope youve got it. Well be right back. Well many people have such a misunderstanding as to how a reverse mortgage works.

If your financial situation has changed, we may be able to help. If your financial situation has changed, the death of freddie gray in 2015 was a flashpoint in the fight against Police Brutality that continues today. Gray died from injuries he sustained in a Baltimore Police van. Protests erupt friday baltimore and across the country. A new book tells the story of what happened during the most volatile days through the eyes of eight people. Its called five days the fiery reckoning of an american city. Author wes moore is also the ceo of the robin hood foundation, one of the nations largest antipoverty nonprofits. He joins us first on cbs this morning. Wes, good morning. I want to start freddie grays death was proceeded the year before by eric garners death and the unrest in ferguson after the Michael Brown shooting. They really kind of set the table for whats happening now, if you will, can you talk about how you think the protests after freddie grays death impacted what were seeing today . Unfortunately we are reliving history because weve continued to allow these tragedies to recede from our collective memory without collective action. I think when were when we watch the images that we saw with freddie gray and we think about what was different around freddie grain, the truth is in the two years prior to freddie gray, there was in baltimore alone, there was Anthony Anderson and chris brown and tyrone west. So we watched these incidents happen, and then quickly recede from a collective memory. I think whats happening right now is theres a level of impatience to any real seismic or systemic change to dealing with these issues that the frustration has now continued to boil over. And i think the model that were seeing from freddie gray actually serves as an important lesson of what happens if these if this motion, these actions actually arent followed up by real systemic change. You said the Baltimore Police force was not the cause of freddie grays death, but rather the effect. What do you mean . Yeah, what what i mean is the history of inequitable policing is as old as this nations history. I mean, when were talking about, you know, the reality is is that the sound of police sirens, it has a different pitch depending on what neighbors that youre in what neighborhood that youre in. When looking at what happened to freddie, its important that we deal with the issues that caused his untimely death. Its important that we deal with the issues of policing reform, its important that we deal with the issues of being able to address what happened in his death. But what i also mean, its important that we understand what happened in his life. We have to understand the conditions that existed when you had a young man who was born premature, underweight, addicted to heroin, moved into a home after he gained enough weight to be able to leave the hospital, his mother never made it to high school. And then moved into a home that in 2009 that home and 400 other homes were named in a lawsuit because of the endemic levels of lead inside of his home. So we now have a young man who was born underweight, addicted to heroin, lead poisoned, and by this time in his life he is 2 years old. What i mean by that is we have to deal with the issue of poliing, but we also have to understand that its not just enough to mourn his death. Weve got to mourn his life. And weve got to be able to put together systems and structures that can make sure that young men like freddie actually have a chance in our large society. Yeah. You write that in baltimore the odds started being stacked against freddie generations before he was born. When you look at whats happening right now, wes, do you think something really is different this time . Because as you say, weve watched this video so many times now in last five years. I think something is different, and i think the difference is is that the bar is being raised. The bar is being raised as to what we identify as progress. You know, one common misperception i think about what happened in baltimore five years ago, is theres this idea that what calmed everything down was when naurtd was called National Guard was called in. Thats not true. The protests that were actually planned on the saturday after the uprising that took place in baltimore were said to be as large or larger than any of the protests that we had seen thus far. What calmed everything down was when the states attorney actually decided to press charges against the six officers. So there was almost this euphoric feeling in baltimore that justice might actually be here. We actually might have people who are accountable for the death of an unarmed black man. That was able to calm everything down. There was a dissent decree put in baltimore where the department of justice very clearly laid out the patterns and practices of systemic racism and injustice that the Police Department was having on black communities. Heres the difference years later no one was convicted for what happened to freddie gray, a Consent Decree was rolled back, and so i think the bar has risen. Now what were talking about right now is not just simply about charges being filed and Consent Decrees being filed. What were talking about now are laws being changed. What were talking about now is justice in every single form, not just justice in terms of policing, but justice in terms of economics, in terms of health. So the bars being risen as to what progress is, and i think people are being very, very clear about that. Yeah. We should remind people that all of the officers involved in grays case were either acquitted or had the charges dropped against them. The baltimore Police Department told us we continue to make significant progress in implementing comprehensive reforms. Have they gone far enough, wes . I dont think that they would argue that theyve gone far enough yet. You know, i think we continue to watch individual and smaller movements on something thats a larger systemic problem. You know, its difficult to have a conversation about good apples versus bad apples when we have to reform systems. You know, good apples and bad apples dont exist when you still have systems that need to be uprooted. And i think what ends up happening is, you know, we have a lot of people who are coming from a place of goodwill in this. We have a lot of people coming from, you know, a place, a place of of sympathy and empathy toward what were seeing. But we cannot confuse or in any way mistake good deeds as being enough to deal with larger injustices. And its unfair when we do that. It was one of the reasons why i wanted to follow the characters. Wes, okay, wes moore, thank you so much for being with us. The book is five days. On sale june 23rd, my birthday, buy it. Well be right back. June is pride months. Thats a celebration of lgbtq rights that has its roots in the 1969 stonewall uprising right here in new york city. Ew like todays demonstrations against Police Brutality and racism, those protests were part of a long american tradition of taking to the streets to demand change. To understand more about that history, we spoke with four experts on the topic. Historian and author of history teaches us to resist, thats mary frances berry. These truths author is jill lapore, Rebecca Traister author of good and mad the revolutionary power of women aes power. Protests is an expression of your First Amendment right to petition the government and to express your point of view. Its foundational, fundamental to how change happens. So its as american as apple pie. If you were making quantitative study of the relationship between street action and legislative change, its going to be hard to find that onetoone response. Selma is one. We are going to walk nonviolently and peacefully if you tornado the other cheek, if you you turn the other cheek, if you suffered violence, the reward is that you get change from the people who observe you suffering, and you achieve your objective even though you may personally be suffering. I dont think thats too strong a line to draw, to say that the march on selma was essential to the passing of the Voting Rights act. I do think its really worth thinking about the length of that struggle. Selma is the end of a 100year struggle to realize the guarantee of the 15th amendment. It wouldnt have been an lgbtq Civil Rights Movement if it wouldnt have been for the africanamerican Civil Rights Movement. Many of those people at stonewall were inspired by groups like the young lords and black panthers. So you have some other kind of much more confrontational kind of politics. Most street action in American History has not been without violence. Largely because of the forces that are deployed to suppress it. Its about disruption. Protests is about disrupting business as usual. People who participated who had been criticized as sissies, who had been thought of as perverts, classed as criminals, it was this moment when a Community Came into itself as a political entity that could really change the world. [ chants ] up until the early 70s, women couldnt get credit cards in their own names. Want ads were separated by gender. [ chants ] probably my favorite example of Womens Movement protests from the 1970s is the feminist Florence Kennedy leading women, singing a version of the song battle hymn of the respect that the members had used for their movement. For womens time has come there was a long struggle to gain an equal rights amendment which hasnt happened yet. It failed in 1982 to be ratified by 38 states. Just as the people who were demanding womens rights and equal rights amendment wanted it, people like Phyllis Shaffley and others wanted very much to defeat it. Put my hands above my head [ shot ] one of the things about the First Amendment and about protests is that people on all sides have a right to protest. Everyone has a voice. I know that there are people that arent comfortable right now, everyone. If youre uncomfortable, thats a good thing. If you lose, you lose. If you win, you win. But you have a voice. Gonna keep on walking keep on talking we all have a voice. That right there is a really good example of why history, knowing your history, is so important. Thank you, andy and camille. Can you ima well many people have such a misunderstanding as to how a reverse mortgage works. People think that the bank takes your home, but that is not true. Thats absolutely 100 wrong. The home is ours. We can sell it if we want to at any time. I like the flexibility of not having a payment, but i can make the payment if i want to. Youre responsible for keeping up your property taxes and youre responsible for paying your insurance on the property. For us, it was a security blanket. The value of our house, was to fund our longterm health care. For years, reverse Mortgage Funding has been helping customers like these use the equity from their homes to finance their lives. They know the importance of having financial security. Make an appointment so they can tell you how it works. Its a good thing. Access your equity. Stay in your home. Have peace of mind.
