>> with emmett? >> why. >> the way he described her was an older woman he looked up to in a motherly way. he said, she believes in me, she thinks i'm going to be a great law enforcement you saw her as an older woman. >> she was almost 40, i was 28. i never felt it was a competition i guess. >> that's for the many reasons that plainly escape those that get smacked on the hot stove of desire, themselves. emmett and candy thought otherwise. oh, they tried to keep their hand off each other for a little while said their co-workers, but if they believed they were hiding their obvious infatuation, rearranged clothes, they were only fooling themselves. >> i noticed a significant change in her attitude went from being depressed about what rob had done to happy, you know. >> a spring in her step again? >> oh, yeah. >> such timing. now that rob seemed to fix their marriage. honesty took a holiday. >> i was living a lie, being in an affair is living one big lie. you lie about everything. >> yes. and she lied to

the reverend "donda" emmett's husband andke dr. margot parker the last living relative who was an eyewitness in mississippi. ali gordon and his cousin with the mogley foundation and the wright widow of simeon wright.org patrick williams of the emmett till interpretive center along with memorial commission who have entrusted us to preserve and present the legacy of emmett till to the country and representative tracy rosebud member of the mississippi house of representatives 30th district which includes tallahassee. working w with the mets family d the community members and co. creators allowed us to weave a comprehensive space and a layered narrative about his story in the decades of grassroots activism and organizing in mississippi and around the nation that went into it. so i'm so grateful and humbled to be with you all today. i'm grateful to have the leadership from across the smithsonian including doug hall and trim under secretary for administration joining us today and members of so many different communities the national trus

and i would just like to say emmett's story, emmett was not trying to do civil rights. these people weren't trying to integrate or do what should be done and they got no recognition and emmett was not the first person to be killed by a long shot but he still speaks and ms. parks told the story that she thought about emmett till. i don't know what you are saying but i'm open. you say you are going to help us. and i applaud you because we need to do something and it can only be done by us. professor can you help us? >> i think within the school system itself my curriculum as a u.s. history teacher at the 11th grade level is civil rights so it's my responsibility to teach the standards to my students and it would be a total travesty to not teach that history especially emmett's history given an event that changed the nation. it gradually turned into triumph and there is a national effort to stifle the teaching of civil rights content. there is a lot of controversy over the so-called critical race theory. i just view it as telling the truth as to what happened and as educat

emmett till was beat to death. people were shot. there was often-times a law enforcement connection. so right, rand paul held it up, so it didn't pass. but maybe with the verdict today, maybe that will put some energy behind the senate to get in step with the rest of the country. >> you know, congresswoman bass, i want to play a piece of sound that is difficult to hear but really shows how the defense seriously tried to dehumanize ahmaud arbery. >> turning ahmaud arbery into a victim after the choices that he made does not reflect the reality of what brought ahmaud arbery to satilla shores in his khaki shorts with no socks to cover his long dirty toenails. >> i mean -- go ahead. go ahead, congresswoman. >> i mean, i think that it is just absolutely despicable. just like the defense lawyer who said that there were scary black people in the courtroom and scary black ministers that needed to be removed. so i think that they were trying to use every dog whistle. they were trying to communicate to the jury. and i'm just so thankful that

till. >> and speaking of that, of you know, emmett till's mom said i want this casket to be open. i want to have an open casket for this. ahmaud arbery mother, wanda cooper jones with some really moving words today about how faith helped her after her son was killed. and i want to play some of that. here it is. >> when ahmaud was killed on the 23rd of february, the family had some of the darkest times of our lives. we asked questions. we got no answers. we -- we submitted emails with no reply back. but in the midst of all that, i prayed. i asked the lord to somehow tell me what happened to qwez. my daughters talked to me like weeks after. she said, mom, we don't even have an attorney. and i prayed. i told jasmine, i said "when the lord get ready for us to have an attorney, we'll get one." >> amen. >> not until then. >> amen. >> i just want to say thank you. my heart is full of just joy in the midst of this broken heart. >> your response to that, reverend, will be the last words. >> it is all the more unnerving was the response of the father. i'm grateful for the strength of the mo

we can talk to everything from emmett till to brian banks. we know the stories of central park five. but we don't know the stories about those recognized -- weaponized against black women. nobody can talk about black women and sexual violence in this country so we even tell outside stories about the sexual violence has been weaponized against black men, as if it doesn't happen to us. we just went through this reckoning from black lives matter and police violence are and i'm like y'all, this is a simple map to drop if you can connect these dots. if you know that, you all know what i'm going to say, right? i'm going to say it anyway. if you know that police comes up like people have adverse relationships with the police, like people have adverse relationships with the police, black people are being killed by the police with impunity. we know that. that's why we have say her name. like men are being killed. black women are also being killed. we know that. police harassment is the number one complaint against police in this country, the number on

i would like to thank the judicial nomination commission and emmett sullivan for recommending me to the white house and i would like to especially thank president joseph biden for this tremendous honor of his nomination. as maya angelou has said, i should not travel the road that led me here today alone. i would like to thank and acknowledge my court family, and particular the chief of the superior court of the district of columbia, and my mentor, chief judge and a blackbird rigney of the district of columbia court of appeals, for their immeasurable support. i am truly fortunate to have the support not only of makeup -- not only of my colleagues present and past, but of my hands and family members. many of whom are watching virtually and all of whom i am deeply -- deeply -- deeply grateful to. i would like to recognize my husband and thank my husband, my soulmate. his love has been enduring and his encouragement and understanding has been absolutely endless. i would like to recognize my maternal grandmother and my grandfather who i affectionately refer to as grandpapa. they are watching

. >> reporter: in fort lauderdale 16-year-old cameron emmett and her sister 12-year-old mckenzie did what may best be remembered by your grandparents. rolling coins. >> it is not a coin shortage. it is lack of circulation of the coins. >> reporter: if you have a stash, you might be surprised how much it all adds up to. >> we rolled about $200 and took it to the bank on monday. >> sometimes it can be fun putting the coins in the little rolls. i've done it before. all right. no one is calling an end to california's drought just yet. but the latest water levels show last month's deluge was great for northern california's primary water supplies. water levels are now up more than 20 feet from early season rainfall and also now more than two-thirds full. lake oroville water levels are up more than 30 feet but that is still well below the full capacity. water levels at folsom lake are up 20 feet since late october. of course, kari, the water we needed in the bay area we keep getting it but certainly today not a lot of it. >> not a lot of it but it is nice to see that we are seeing it coming

yawn out of your english contact, the governance, israel kingdom of saudi arabia and the united out of emmett and offered them the opportunity to respond to all the allegations made in the film, they did not respond. i actually would also like to know a little bit more about what happened in the rejection. i think there's a few different things at play here. one is that it's very difficult to know the relationship between the ministry of defense and, and i, so there seems to be a lot of crossover at high level staff. the ministry of defense in israel is the, is the ministry that approves all exports. and basically, our case was saying either the ministry of defense is not giving export licenses in line with international human rights standards. or they are giving exports in line with international human rights standards. but they have, they have a company in their jurisdiction who is acting outside of the, the legal export license compton. because we leon for tom on this are and others who's phones have been hacked him. the question is, what recourse if any, do they have? i'm ready to start h

[laughter] tragedy in texas, at least eight people killed, many more hurt at the world music festival. the crowd surged toward the stage while travis scott performed. one concertgoer described chaos to arthel neville this afternoon. >> they do nothing, for whatever reason, they just wouldn't help. i don't know if it's because they were streaming live or whatever the case was but bodies were being held up because it was so compact. >> what did you say was in front of you? >> dead bodies in front of us. jon: live in houston with the latest, garrett. reporter: a lot of people who attended last night are sharing similar

annmarie: emmett to -- imminent to indecisiveness. president biden is still deciding whether he is going to reappoint jay powell or nominate lael brainard. just quickly on the timeline, four days would be friday when they are going to have that big white house ceremony with a part in the turkey, or saturday. but saturday is the president's 79th birthday. i don't see the president announcing the chair of the fed then. but we will have a decision before thanksgiving. the white house also has to have the votes in the senate. by and large, the senate will support either of the president posture choices. the market believes monetary policy will remain the same. guy: i wonder what the president is wanting for his birthday this year. better approval ratings definitely on his list. annmarie: lower inflation. guy: that is perfect. what is separating these two? why is this decision taking so long, and why does it appear to be so hard? i am really struggling with this because they seem to be putting much on the same page when it comes to what ne

generations have seen this time and time againve with the murde of emmett till, trayvon martin, and many others. it went on to say there's a growing and deepening rift in america. we must fix what is genuinely harming our nation. white supremacy. the white house also weighed in, quote, while the guilty verdict was a result of us doing our job, it needs just a phrase em blazened in stone above the supreme court, but a reality for all americans. and to be clear, the biden justice department has been forceful on this issue. in april, the doj charged the three men who killed arbery with federal hate crimes. they will be tried in federal court in february. that decision to federally indict those men was part of a string of doj actions to investigate the killings of black citizens like breonna taylor, like george floyd. in may, the doj decided to indict the officers involved in george floyd's murder, as well. they were arraigned in september. they pled not guilty. derek chauvin's trial for murdering george floyd was one of the fewer times in recent history that a white police officer was found

you go back and you look at the emmett till situation where emmett till was killed allegedly for whistling at a white woman. those individuals were found not guilty. that in itself is what people have looked at. what we have seen here is fair-minded people, fair-minded americans, fair-minded jurors looking at the evidence and not disavowing the evidence but basing their decision to find these men guilty on the evidence. >> trace: thank you. speak to ted, thank you very much. live pictures there in brunswick, georgia, as the verdict has just been read by the judge several moments ago, fighting all three men found guilty of the murder charges against them in the death of ahmaud arbery. 14 days this trial was going on, two days of deliberations. it took until just about 1:30 eastern time for the verdict to be reached and read, what appeared to be a joyous mother reacting, ahmaud arbery's mother was seated in the courtroom, reacted very emotionally, nodding her head in agreement as the charges were read. all three men found guilty of his murder. >> trace: it's interesting. welcome to a brand-n

appreciate the sacrifices he made even a douglas who had very little nice to say about fred vincent emmett's view of his other colleagues as well. he really appreciated the sacrifice fred vincent had made. because they knew he did not have very much in the way of money, finances, or insurance at that time. stu went vincent, if i recall correctly gets on the bench and then leaves the bents right? and goes back into bureaucracy. and then is nominated for supreme court, not as an appellate judge but as a cabinet member, right? >> he is on the bench. he nominated franklin roosevelt to the court of appeals. it was seen to this day and accurately so the second most important federal court in the united states. and then world war ii breaks out, franklin roosevelt says i need you. frankly vincent is here to get off the bench and participate more actively in the war effort. world war i america's involvement when the war ended just as vincent had finished basic training. he felt like he had missed out or world war i. so we wanted to contribute now in his later years in world war ii and a more direct m

are say no more rebuilding in coastal areas that are destroyed and getting destroyed every year in emmett domain on those locations. here's your relocation spent in michigan not louisiana. we are moving in that direction right now were doing technocratic things that you wouldn't normally ascribe to the u.s. government which i think of the right things to do. we talk about climate, migration and other infrastructure and transportation and otherwise of her own military which is to say if we know where we are directing people into livable geographies that will be more stable that's where we should spend on infrastructure and focus on improving roads and highways and bridges and affordable housing. water infrastructure, agriculture industry and so on and so on. that is a logical sequence which you should determine where and how to spend trillions of trillions of dollars. not what's happeningng right no. military is interesting as well. study after study of the pentagon is saner basis or in the i wrong places were spendina billion dollars repairing and refurbishing where they are rather than f

i am also thinking about trials like the emmett till trial, the non conviction of darrell wilson for the murder of mike brown in ferguson in 2014, there is a long pattern, a long thread here. not only this criminal legal system letting people off the hook for doing the job that you often wants to be able to do itself of controlling and raining and black people and black freedom, but also thinking of the particular threat that they teach those folks then -- them. they want to create another statue to stand at that of white supremacy that they can warship, and they can learn from. that is not only sick and twisted, but it is dangerous. it is about signaling to the rest of us that they have a complete and total disregard for our humanity, they will continue to do so, and they don't have any regard for any order that them themselves do not set. so even with the guilty verdicts in the trial of marc arbery this week, we still have to recognize that stands in the shadow of the rittenhouse verdict, and in the shadow of all of the grandiose gestures that we are seeing from members of the gop

a lot of people are looking at it, really as a 21st century version of emmett till, the young boy who was murdered in 1955 by a racist mob of white men, being accused of trying to flirt with a white woman. that white woman later recanted. a lot of americans are looking at this case and thinking, is this going to be the american justice system saying, yes, you can shoot someone down the street if you suspect that they're a burglar, even if their unarmed, really just acting on your own assumptions, or will a jury of these peers, even though only one of them is african american, will a jury say that these men should not be allowed to do this? i think this goes back to what we were all thinking about during the trayvon martin trial. i think it's one to watch and it's going to be a real moment in american history. >> yamiche, i kept thinking as i was hearing that 911 call and some of that video, audio that we've been able to hear in this trial, how different it is that technology exists and that cell phones exist and that we're able to hear and see -- the whole thing of what's your emergen

the 1956 painting “behold thy son,” a response from driskell to the gruesome murder of 14 year old emmett till in mississippi a year earlier. till's mother had insisted the casket be open so the world could see the viciousness of the racist attack. >> driskell comes up with this interesting take on it in “behold thy son” where his mother, the beaten boy's mother, is holding him up and presenting him in church to the congregation. jeffrey: it's painting almost in real time, but it's also looking to the history of art, right? i mean, the crucifixion, christ on the cross. >> he's definitely looking through the history of western art in this case. but bringing it home. jeffrey: another subject for driskell: scenes of urban black life. he painted “ghetto wall #2” in 1970: a brick wall, graffiti, a figure in black, the american flag exploded, in pieces amid a riot of color. >> it is very much an artist who is using the canvas to express the experience of living in america in 1970. the associations that david driskell would have as a black man in america. what is it? do i love america? i

that's what got emmett till kid, george floyd killed. blackness being seen as a threat. now we know, lastly, it's not just something in the hands of a racist cop, it's not just something at a racist rally, but even in the mind-set of defense lawyers, blackness is intimidation automatically and needs to be stopped, needs to be purged, needs to be put out, needs to be barred. >> i also wonder, you know, as this trial is playing out, you also have the kyle rittenhouse trial playing out. and i wonder what you think of this theme that runs through both of them of wanna-be white vigilanteism. what do you think about that? >> well, when you think deeply about it, this is as old as, you know, the racist mind-set in this country. i was talking to some white people in the march yesterday who asked us to come back. and i was there, by invitation of one of the lawyers and the family. we were talking about that. it is reminiscent of slave patrols. it is reminiscent of those who believe they had a right to be violent. we live in a country where lynching was once a community affair, wh

the stake any woman deemed to be a witch, or the more than 4,000 lynchings from the redemption era to emmett till and the massacres from elaine, arkansas, to tulsa oklahoma and on and on and on. any white man who claimed a crime had occurred felt completely entitled to enforce the law himself. sometimes with a gang of his friends. and the best part, these sacred laws almost never applied to these men. they were virtually immune from the law themselves. american media has even glorified the white male vigilante from steve mcqueen to clint eastwood and john mclane, especially in westerns. it gets trick any in a man named django. should we really be surprised a 17-year-old proud boys fan believed he had the perfect right to cross state lines and protect property with the ar-15 he got because he thought it was cool? or that zimmerman believed it was his duty to investigate property crime by following a 17-year-old kid and shooting and killing him even after police told him to stand down? these two teenagers, kyle rittenhouse and trayvon martin exist on opposite sides. the white kid with the ar-1

criticized the makeup of the jury, which includes 11 white people and one black man he called arbery the emmett till of our daye emit still of referencing the 14-year-old boy who was lynched in mississippi in 1955. >>> 9-year-old boy has died now of injuries he sustained at the astroworld music festival in houston ten days ago lawyers from young ezra blunt's family released a statement last night announcing he was the tenth and youngest person to die in the tragedy police say hundreds of others were hurt. ezra went to that astroworld festival with his father, according to a gofundme page for the family ezra's dad says he was carrying him on his shoulders during travis scott's performance, and then he says when that crowd surge began, he just passed out. unable to breathe. and ezra fell from his shoulders. when he woke up, he says his son was in a hospital. the family filed a lawsuit against travis scott and the event organizer before young ezra died. in the lawsuit, they say concertgoers kicked, trampled, and stepped on ezra during the surge. they say he suffered severe brain, kidney, and liver

emmett till had no video. therefore when he was murdered z it took his open casket to see how this young boy who we know now was innocent how he was murdered. we need to have some way to reconcile the past. when we talk about race we should be able to say we're bringing it up because it's a social construct that needs to be pulled apart so we're not judging people simply because of the way they look. i don't want my nieces or my nephews or even myself to be targeted if i'm jogging or going to a store. you never have to worry about me on a black friday. i'm not going nowhere. i'm staying home. i don't want to be targeted. i have a purse, a credit card or two, maybe some cash, but i don't want to be targeted. this is the reality. i'm not trying to prolong any conversation. i don't want to make nobody uncomfortable. i don't want any child to be scared. i want people to understand we have to sometimes put these difficult issues on the table if we're going to resolve these matters. >> here's what worries me. when y

this was worse than an emmett till trial, this was worse to so many trials where we know for a fact individuals committed murder and yet there were not brought to justice. it is unfortunate, but this is america. >> do you think that it emboldens other people to pick up guns and go to protest or, you know, communities of color to terrorize folks? i mean, i feel like one of the dangerous precedents this sets is people who don't to live in a particular community will go to where unrest is after a police shooting, we've seen police shootings happen far too often? >> well, this is the legacy of the trump administration. it's about the otherness, it emboldens so many people whether it is in charlottesville or in pittsburgh or in this case where people feel like it is okay to display their white supremacist behavior in the public square. unfortunately for the families of the victims of this murder, here is a 17 year old who came across state lines with a firearm and he purchased illegally, driven by his muster to a community that did not invite him, allegedly to protect property that was not his prope

but the murder of emmett till, trey vaughan martin, and many others. went on to say that the events surrounding a modest death reflected a growing in deepening rift in america that will be its undoing if not addressed on a systematic level. we must fix what is genuinely harming our nation. white supremacy. the white house also waited, while the guilty verdict reflect our justice system doing its, drop that alone is not enough. the administration vowed to do the hard work to ensure that the equal justice under law is not just a phrase emblazoned in stone above the supreme court, but a reality for all americans. and to be clear, the biden justice department has been forceful on this issue. in april, the doj charge the three man who killed aubry with federal hate crimes. they will be tried in federal court in february. that decision to federal on that boseman is part of a string of doj actions to investigate the killing of black citizens. like breonna taylor. like george floyd. in may, the doj decided to indict the officers involved in george floyd's murd

when i think about these trials, especially the arbery trial, all i can think about is the emmett till trial, the milam trial, the trial of these two fiends who lynched a 14-year-old boy. and an all white jury was spit-spot, they're fine. all go home. that's all i can think about. what with you? >> now it's 2021, and we're still talking about virtually all white juries in a case in georgia about white men who lynched a black person. the georgia jury found 12 african americans were qualified to sit on that jury. they could be fair and objective. the defense then removed 11 of those 12 black jurors. the defense claimed it's based on how they answered questions. but some white jurors said the same things of things. they didn't get struck. one white juror said she thought mr. arbery had been racially profiled. another white juror said she had long conversations with her husband about this case. another white juror said that she thinks that race matters in criminal justice. all those white folks are still on the juror, but the defense used answers like that from black perspective jurors to

because emmett -- inventory is so limited, -- reggie: in-store shopping is good for big ticket items. this -- it would be a better bet to buy smaller gifts online. kumasi: are you ready get started with your holiday shopping? the black friday countdown is on and becky woerle has a look at what digital doorbusters are available right now. becky: earbuds are hugely popular, airpods, the second generation are $114, $15 off. if you want more on the budget side, the amazon echo buds are on sale for $69, nearly half off. at macy's they have a slew of puffer codes, -- coats, and is $70 off. reggie: $15 for a coat? kumasi: oh. reggie: wow. kumasi: you cannot get it. reggie: those are a little small. kumasi: she will have a full report coming up on gma at 7:00 including something for teenagers and a discount on balaton right after abc 7 in the mornings. reggie: another way to get into the spirit of the holidays. at the -- after a hiatus, the miracle on 1st street holiday pot -- held holiday cocktail pop-up begins today. the paper plane bar will become a holiday wonderland with seasonal drinks.

we saw similar outcomes with emmett till. we've seen similar outcomes with lynch mobs. there is a distinct pattern in this country and in this criminal legal system that will allow, protect, and defend the in particular white men who will defend white supremacy and the culture of white supremacy that permeates this entire country. so we cannot simply allow ourselves rest on the idea that this is a single case and a particular case, because there is a distinct pattern in this country when it comes to these courtrooms. and let's be clear, this judge, as paul pointed out earlier, was brazen in the way that he put his thumb on this scale. he rubbed our noses in the fact that he could do whatever he wanted and basically dared us to do anything about it. he wanted us to be very clear that he would stop at nothing to defend this blueprint more white supremacist vigilanteism and he was going to make sure that we would to just throw our hands up in disgust, because he was going to get the verdict that he wanted before it ever even got to the jurors. this playbook is very clear.

deepened by relief with -- not just the rittenhouse case but the legacy of cases in the deep south from emmett till on forward, video has been a complete game danger. in fact, we saw it in minnesota. people now have the videos and the common practice -- i think it was common -- of just rekrugging a false account after the fact -- of just reconstructing a false account after the fact is now blown out of the water. if there is any irony here, bryan presented it. he took the video and presented the evidence that convicted hip of now with videos and phones ubiquitous, it changed the practice of just saying something after and having people in the community just accept what you say rather than the strange victim, often a person of color. it showed it once again. phones have changed the system of racial justice in this country bigtime. >> i want to read president biden's statement on the verdict to you, jonathan lemere. ar mad arbery's killing is a devastating reminder of how far we have to go in the fight for racial justice in the country. mr. arbery should be here today celebrating the holidays wi

i was thinking that people knew who killed emmett. who put him at the bottom of that river and they kept quiet. and here we are, an 18-year-old and three people are dead and people just want to turn the page. it speaks volumes about where we are as a country it seems to me. >> you always leave me speechless. corri hess, thank you for spending time with us. quick break. we'll be right back. with us. quick break. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ 'tis the season to break tradition in a cadillac. don't just put on a light show—be the light show. make your nights anything but silent. and ride in a sleigh that really slays. because in a cadillac, tradition is yours to define. so visit a cadillac showroom, and start celebrating today. ♪ ♪ i brought in ensure max protein, with thirty grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks!
