Everyone. Thank you so much for joining me. I m fredericka whitfield. Today marking 20 years since september 11th, 2001. 2,977 people died on that day in the deadliest terror attack in history. In ceremonies at all three attack sites this morning, victims names were read aloud. In new york, people came together to mark this solemn day. Children placing flowers for loved ones. They never got to meet. Men and women in tight embrace, mourning those they lost. And three presidents and first ladies were on hand for the memorial in lower manhattan. Tolling bells followed by moments of silence marked to the minute when the planes hit the two towers and when each of them fell. At the pentagon, an american flag was draped down the side of the building before the names were read there. Jay joseph ferguson. Amelia v. Fields. And in shanksville, pennsylvania, the president and first lady laying a wreath in the memory of the everyday heroes who took down flight 93 and stopped it from reaching its

Morning. As we ve been saying the lawmakers are hunkering down in washington while trying to run out the clock on a 30day special session that they do not want to be part of and that s why they hightailed it out of the state of texas and urging congress to pass a sweeping bill that would federalize elections. That has a lot of constitutional watchers wondering whether or not it s legal under the constitution. That legislation they re hoping would overrule anything that might get passed in the state of texas in their efforts to secure the ballot box. Bill: vice president kamala harris calling them modernday heroes of the civil rights movement. And that wasn t all. Republicans say it s all about optics. Have a look. They took bold, courageous action in line with the legacy of everyone from frederic douglas to the legacy for women s right to vote for all folks who shed their blood at the edmund pettis bridge to make sure we passed the voting rights act. It is ridiculous. Last i checked th

Reporter: biden will be the first president to be part of the remembrance of what happened in tulsa marking the one hundredth anniversary of the massacre of what was known as black wall street claiming the lives of 300 black residents and burning down homes, businesses and churches in the black community there, the visit comes after a memorial service was held there yesterday for visiting lawmakers demanding a
Minneapolis to commemorate george floyd s life with his family and his community. Joining me in a minute, his brother, philonise. And ultimately for the nation, it indeed has been a year that has tested the limits of america s stomach for real change in policing and criminal justice. And the sincerity of our lawmakers desire for racial equity as republicans continue to wring their hands over where i will race theory. But wave their hands at the idea that is critical to understand how and why our nation s capitol was breached, violated, and literally soiled four months ago. We ll have more on how the gop devotion to the big lie continues to chain them to the past, while criminal investigations tighten for donald trump and those that have followed in his image. But we start with criminal justice reform in the congress and a somber anniversary that is just days away. Joining me now is the assistant to the speaker of the house, congresswoman katherine clark, democrat of massachusetts. Con
