Were coming up on a historic milestone, half a century since the signing of the long overdue, bitterly struggled for, bipartisanly enacted as republicans in the lead sh may i had, Civil Rights Act of 1964. 99 years after that, long delayed steps towards realizing our stated ideal in the declaration, cited often in this all created equal. This distinguished panel will discuss for half an hour and half a day and not do justice to the subject the question, can america be post racial . Ill be pushing our presenters to tell us why they take the position they do and what should we do about it and name names of who can help us. How are we doing after the historic Civil Rights Act . Thank you so much. Thanks to colorado christian for hosting this event and inviting me to new jersey to colorado. Let me say i think we can go into detail. To open, id like to say that i have to confess i did not know i was a conservative until i met bob woodson. I thought i was a guy simply helping people get out
Oh. There she is. Oh, yeah. Mrs. Carruthers . The Electric Company. Electricians . What do they want with us . Just pretend like you dont hear them. Maybe theyll go away. Hmm. Mrs. Carruthers .

So now if you dont mind, we have very important mother daughter planning to attend to. Well, thats actually what we want to talk to you about. Mrs. Carruthers, you may not know this, but this is the house where j. T. Bookbinder wrote his famous book, goodnight robot. Goodnight robot . Arent you all a little old for Childrens Book . Oh. Yes.

Members were contingent and unsecure with their jobs. Now its over 70 . That trend seems to be continuing. The trend of state legislatures defunding Higher Education gradually shifting the cost from taxpayers to students, thats now a 25 year trend. Trends like that dont always and quickly. I think theres a future for state funding in higher Public Education is not great. Both of those things do not mind mote bode well for maintaining Higher Education. If i were to recommend anything i would recommend the federal government pay for public Higher Education and make it freeforall children come to all americanamerican s. 60 billion a year and a couple of battleships left, we have actually made public Higher Education a genuine public good. I think without some fundamental change the quality is going to erode. Scientists all over the country having to choose the basic research that will bring in the most dollars. Rather they choose the research that will do the most good for the people in t

Luis leon is preaching on the theme of unity, which is also the president s theme. Well see the president and first lady when they come out of that service, in just a little bit. First, lets talk to david muir. Hes on the shadow of the steps of the capitol. And a lot of people gathering already. Gathering here since the darkdar darkened hours before the sun came up. You talked about the choir of p. S. 22. You can see the capitol behind me, for those of you watching at home. The archway that the president will emerg
Jeh johnson. Also, troern toe, london, paris and down under in auckland, cities around the world have come out to protest the death of george floyd. How did the american anger go global . And before the protests there was the pandemic and covid is killing africanamericans disproportionately. Harvards David Williams explains why. But first, heres my take ive not been one to argue that the United States under President Trump is on the verge of turning into a tyranny but it is clear that left of his own devices, trump would act with little regard to law, precedent or the constitution.
