Question. How many black people were living in stanford, connecticut in 1963. It was north stanford, so thats where it had more land. So it was our family. In 63 there may have been more, two or three in that section of town, but pretty much segregated ourselves in stanford, connecticut. What do you remember about that segregation. About being one of the few africanamericans. I remember in elementary school, children asking me if i bathed and you know, and me feeling very insecure, very shy, not didnt speak at all. I wouldnt ask questions, i wouldnt wear my glasses because i didnt want to be different in any other way and i didnt understand that that was part of my experience there, being the only black child in the fifth grade. So, until fifth grade i was the only black child in the school. Why did mom and dad want you to have that, want you to live there . I dont think they wanted us to have that level of isolation nor lack of, you know, overly they werent sitting us out there as an
Right there, thats the motel where doctor king was staying. The one up there by my finger mark. Right and my dad in patterson went down the next day bring money for the children who had been jailed during the marches. And they went to the site and also stated that motel so. Where it had beenbombed. Martin luther king, a ie friend of the family . What they did, as a family, is we started doing jazz concerts and our first concert was also to raise money, it was in june and then we went up, at the house, at our house, yes and my brothers and i sold hotdogs and sodas and we turned in 1000 after our first gas sponsor and we had a second one after the march in washington and we had gone to the market as a family. That was our first time as a family actually participating in the Larger Movement. And it was just an amazing experience because this is what we were asking for. We would ask dad can we go with you to birmingham and he said no, ill figure this out and he figured it out by bringing u
Rich edson, we have flown him all the way to chattanooga, tennessee. I dow the fine folks there will understand a word that you say, rich. Rich they are picking up on the accent. Looking at this movement that pushed against the effort to organize workers here at the volkswagen plant, the uaw was granted somewhat unusual access. Almost a partnership with volkswagen. There was an expedited election. They are saying that this is a big failure. This all continues. It has been the first bite. One employee says he does not want this town to become detroit. Who is growing. Who is moving forward. Look at detroit. Look at city blocks of empty houses. What is the common denominator . The uaw. One possible other chapter this past election. It could be a point of contention. The uaw said there is influence from outside. Theyre basically saying that volkswagen would decide to build another plant here if they rejected the uaw. The nlrb could decide to hold another election if they determined there w
He apparently decided to leave her alone. Donald trump does not plan to pursue an investigation of Hillary Clintons private email server or the clinton foundation. That according to adviser former Campaign Manager Kellyanne Conway, and an msnbc, earlier this morning, conway said, trumps decision should send a message to other republicans. I think when the president elect whos also the head of your party now, joe, tells you before hes even inaugurated he doesnt wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone and content to the members, and i think Hillary Clinton still has to face the fact that a majority if americans dont find her to be honest or trustworthy, but if donald trump can help her heal, perhaps thats a good thing. Look, i think hes thinking of many Different Things as he prepares to become the president of the United States, and things that sound like the campaign arent among them. Trumps decision is a reversal of a Major Campaign promise. A look back at s

Did anybody warn you when you were getting ready to enter the house of what it was in there . It was all bloody. Haunting for you and the cops and the mother. One of the bizarre tips here, it did not seemed to be haunting for the person who did it. No. Abilene, texas, a city where churches are an easy reach, football is its own religion. Now home to an unholy crime. I still see her lying on the floor. Those gruesome. It was awful. Just as disturbing. The killer, a child. 13 years old. When First Responders got there, where was he . He was still on the phone with the 911 operator when he answered the door. I accidentally killed somebody. You think you killed somebody . No, i know i did. What did it looked like in there . It was a bedroom, there was a lot of blood on the right side of the head board. What kind of weapon . A kitch
