the detroit public schools there as segregated as they were. equal is not e quail. you were the former superintendent of denver schools. what needs it be o done to fix the inequality? we need do deal with the fact we profound inequality. the federal government can play an important role. we need to face facts. it goes along with what you were saying to governor kasich. i m not trying to run down the country. today i met with people in south carolina. there were people there whose parents filed a lawsuit 73 years ago. 73 years ago. that became part of brown vs. board of education. their parents houses were burned down. they had to leave the county where their children were going to school. they got run out of the county. not just the county out of the state. for the rest of their lives. and 73 years later, the schools
protection agency whose former job was working for a big chemical company to fight the environmental protections to cleanup diocson and other pollution. we voted on a judge that can t even bring himself to say that he thinks that brown vs. the board of education is law and that discrimination shouldn t be the law of the land. it s just mind-boggling. people like senator joe bideb, or i should say former vice president joe biden have said that if he were president, he would find ways to reach across the aisle and work with mcconnell and work with republicans. you ve worked with mcconnell as you said for 18 months. is that even possible? is there any democrat who can become president that mitch mcconnell would do anything but obstruct? i think that as long as mitch mcconnell is the majority leader of the united states senate he ll continue to obstruct. that s what we did when we had
president s show of a lifetime. we have seen another show and it s been in our life sometime and it was through the eyes of children. when the supreme court was deliberating brown vs. the board of education. they psychological impact of brown children unworthy of a desk beside white counter parts. unworthy americans. they were asked to describe their feelings about each. black and white children thought the black dolls were bad. ugly, unworthy. the white dolls were perfection. the supreme court took note of this. and the lasting impact of allowing the government to enact policy that subject children of color. and not only because it hurt the black children, it hurt all of america s children. so perhaps the spectacle is in not recognizing that how we

was clear by the next morning, like he s going to get every registered black voter there is in america which essentially happened. so i think kamala harris is banking on pulling off maybe a similar kind of break with all the affection black voters appear to have with joe biden. it is stunning to me he even made that statement that got him into all this trouble talking about eastlen who died in 1986. these segregationists were at the end of their rope. they had spent 20 years fighting against implementation of brown vs. board of education. there s a way to explain it if he cares to, but it was never on the agenda until he brought it up and now one wonders why he did. and these letters showing exactly what he did on busing,
