in south mississippi. she doesn't have any connections within the community. if you know anything about 19th-century america it's all about your connections and she's writing saying we are literally starving and no one will help me. again this is where 19th-century americans see the governor as someone who's going to be the protector, who will help them. these are the types of letters you will see this one in particular code in books all the time but is not necessarily dissent. this is a desperate woman who needs help. she is desperately pleading for assistance, but you get enough of this, this could be problematic but this is what a mean when i want folks to think through the question of dissent and how problematic it can be. this one i want to share with you all is from may of 1864. this is another case of the woman by the name of sarah. by the way y'all i don't know if we have -- we do. see bush as a mark? she had some coffee today. a little shaky. that's what i meant when you can hear from people from

it is the mississippi spirit that binds all of us together. this is not a state of people who have cowered in the face of adversity. we have got grit and pride and faith. we know how to overcome our differences and work together. we know how to do hard things. we know how to treat one another. as we saw on easter sunday this is a state of people who won't let a tornado leave the ground before arriving with chainsaws to clear their neighbor's land. as we saw it as a state of people who won't let the waters rushed back to the sea before ensuring their neighbor has food and warmth. it is the state of people who step up time and time again and have exceeded all expectations this year. tennessee williams was a world-renowned playwright, the son of brown county mississippi once wrote the violence in the mountains have roped in the rocks. what he meant was simply the decency, kindness, empathy and goodness always win even when facing hardened opposition. that is happened here in our state, in our time. we have seen courage and compassion beat the for

in mississippi, we never stopped working. we never shut down farms and we never shut down factories. what we slowed down, we open up as quickly and widely as we possibly could. we have been cautious, never panicked, we have been safe but not stubborn. life cannot be lived in perpetual idleness and isolation. we realized that and we have adapted our plan throughout the year, responding swiftly when the spread is most severe and pulling back whenever possible. that has made a tremendous difference. despite the once in a century pandemic, mississippi's economy actually grew year-over-year. think about that. we were the third-best state in the country for job recovery. that's not just because of an open economy. it's because mississippians don't want welfare, they want to work. they recognize the pride and dignity that comes with it. they have been eager to return whenever given the opportunity. it is also why, as we look forward, we cannot be content with where we are. we can never say, simply, that's good enough. i don't want t

it's up in the mississippi delta. right on the mississippi river. the first complaint, if you can read there. if you're in the back, it's not that surprising. the person is asking anything to be done with the party who have taken oaths or travel. we're kind of trading with the enemy. not that surprising but sheer the part that does get surprising. the man writing says i captured five negroes from the island 75 near lake boliver. three of them belong to mr. humphreys, one to many manley. they were engaged in tearing down the houses on general vicks place. he has several times visited mr. estelle's place at night and taken whatever he wanted. coe with his negroes and his crew and took his overseer prisoner. what this should be reminding you of is this is reminiscent of a newt knight. if there's any genealogy guru in the group, please see me afterwards. he was an overseer before the war. he's known for attacking plantations where he had worked as an overseer or where he's known the area. he seems to be doing this thing that you see newt knight doing an

we have some louisiana folks that are with us that is what mississippi does. we are the hospitality states. this is a tense time and it is hot. you will be trying to recover and clean up yards but do not move power lines. let the professionals do that. we are in recovery so let's get to the next step of response and recover properly and not lose any life. i want to talk about the business eoc. we had a significant partner yesterday and i want to give a good shout out to the southern average company from anheuser bush and they provided an 18 wheeler load of water yesterday. we coordinated that through the governor's office and it made it to us yesterday and we had it distributed by 6:00 p.m. in wilkinson county. there was ice as well and that will continue. we border with louisiana and that is some of my heavier impact areas as far as power outages. some of the other areas are roads, bridges and the infrastructure there. let us be mindful of that stop we are distributing water, food and ice is necessary to those counties that have been impacted and working with

emily: what do you have to say to mississippi leaders who say they're speaking for the people of mississippi and fighting for this 15-week band? shannon: i live in mississippi and you are not peeking for me. emily: alright. from jessica. there appears to be a majority of supreme court justices interested in curbing abortion rights. how will the center for reproductive rights do it to work if the court significantly revises or overrules roe v. wade? nancy: julie, why don't you talk about that, julie leads or litigation team at the center for reproductive rights. she could talk about this from a litigation perspective. julie: i think from the center's perspective, we will not stop trying to fight for women's ability to make this decision. we think it is a fundamental right under the constitution, and should the court decide that it is not a protected right under the liberty clause, we will continue with legal arguments. in addition there are state courts and state statutes that can provide protection for people to be able to make this decision for themselves, and people continue to litigate in

southwest mississippi should the need arise. after evaluating the storm, as it was making landfall, and looking at the conditions in south mississippi, talking to local law enforcement there, sheriff's office and police chiefs and mayors and reaching out to sheriff throughout southwest mississippi, it was determined that for the immediate needs today, that our efforts should be focused toward southwest mississippi. the situation there from a law enforcement standpoint seems to be in a very good lace -- place. we will refocus efforts along the coast, as we know in the coming days there will be a number of travelers coming back to louisiana, intending to come back to louisiana along i 10, so we will have troopers along the interstate to assist them on their return. i can tell you that are homeland security alone, with other agencies, did a number of swift water rescues. highway patrol's dive team also did, as well. and were able to save various families, which we were very proud of. having grown up on the mississippi gulf coast, i

from north mississippi. and then when conscription was passed as you can see william t rowland flat upset i would not get conscripted i will not serve the confederacy soo they found a federal unit and they are listed. so the favorite part of my document that it appears in august 1865 because william t rowland by is required to pledge his loyalty to the united states government in writing to theor governor the thing i just fight for the last three years and if yout can read this but please send us information on the subject of what it takes to constitute a loyal citizen from 62 through 65 i served in the calvary. this is what i i mean it is a clear example of the mississippi and from the very beginning originally serving for the confederacy but then chose to resist it.ir he's an example of the firm unionist to take up arms serving the federal cause. by the way you see my note at the top of the screen. the quote you will always here. i told you i was out of practice. it is about 500 white mississippians that t

this mississippi case, of course, as i think the anti-choice person said, what the mississippi attorney general is saying, you should overturn roe completely. that means, take away this right completely. and it's really important to understand, this is being argued with the backdrop of the texas abortion ban, which has now been in effect for almost three months. especially in the state of texas, roe does not exist. and this supreme court has done nothing, nothing to intervene and to protect that right, so the stakes could not be higher today in this argument before the supreme court. >> cecile richards, thank you very much for being with me this morning. i want to turn to our all-star panel, neal katyal, former acting u.s. solicitor general, has argued dozens of cases in front of the u.s. supreme court. i also want to bring in maya wiley, a civil rights attorney. and joyce vance, a former u.s. attorney. lucky for me to have the opportunity to be with you on this very important day. neal, let me talk first about what we're going to be seeing and actually hearing here on msnbc this mornin

we even had a white priest whose daughter was miss mississippi, got run out of the state of mississippi because he had some of the whites come to his how's because he wanted to talk to them about what they were doing. and whether or not he, you know, could help introduce them to the community or whatever it is. and they had a parade around his house and, you know, burned crosses and all that kind of stuff. and threatening to the point where he had to leave mississippi. so, those are the kinds of obstacles you ran into. and then you had hostile sheriffs and police and you had the clan pretty active during that period of time. and they were serious about committing mayhem and violence, so we had to survive that. now, understand, i was probably not the youngest, but i was 19 years old when i went to mississippi. and i had to come to deal with all of that. i had to grow up real switch. my innocence was gone, shot. but one thing that had to change is when you had the freedom rides and the sit-ins and all that kind of stuff, my own concern was my own safety and my own health. but when i go to

mississippi was a hostile kind of community and we felt like if we could break, mississippi then we we would have a model to go into the other areas and try to do that, but our concern was for democracy. to work and justice people have the right to vote people could gain control of them that their lives we even had a a white priest whose daughter was miss mississippi got run out of the state of mississippi because he had some of the whites come to his house because he wanted to talk to them about what they were doing and whether or not he, you know could could help introduced into the community or whatever it is, and they had a a parade around this house and you know burn crosses and all that kind of stuff and and threatening to the point where he had to leave, mississippi. so those are the kinds of obstacles that you ran into and then you had hostile sheriffs and police and and you had the the clan pretty active doing that period of time and they were serious about committing mayhem and violence and so we had to survive that now understand that. i was probably not the youngest but i w

the gentleman from mississippi, mr. thompson, reserves. the gentleman from mississippi, mr. guest, is recognized. mr. guest: thank you, mr. speaker. at this time i have no further speakers. i urge all members to support this bill. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from mississippi, mr. guest, yields back the balance of his time of the the gentleman from mississippi , mr. mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i yield myself the balance of the time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman virginia tech. mr. thompson: with sophisticated cyber criminals operating overseas launching ransomware attacks on our schools, it's essential that the federal government step up efforts to support the cybersecurity of our schools. without more assistance, many of our nation's school districts will continue to be vulnerable. as many lack the cyber expertise to defend against these incidents. of the k through 12 cybersecurity act with enhanced technical support provided by cisa to schools to help better protect school i.t. networks. mr. spe

and then moved down to the mississippi river in south mississippi. so she doesn't have connections within the community. if you know anything about 19th century america, it's all about community connections. and she's writing the governor saying, we are literally starving and no one will help me. again, this is where 19th century americans see the governor as someone who is going to be their protector, someone who will help them. these are the types of letters -- and you will see this one in particular, quoted in books all the time -- where it is not necessarily dissent. this is a desperate woman who needs help. she is desperately pleading for assistance. wbut you get enough of this, this increasingly problematic. but i want to think through this question of dissent and how problematic it can be for the home front. this one that i want to share with you all's from may of 1864. this is another case of a woman by the name of sarah niece. and we have a -- ? yes, we do. oh, you can see i had some coffee today, i'm a little shaky. but that's what i meant

today also in mississippi, ellison barber went to ocean springs, mississippi. vaguely near gulfport, on the gulf coast. went there to try to understand what this kind of situation in mississippi means on the units. what it means for doctors and nurses in mississippi right now, who are in the midst of what is a national level crisis. trying to hold back this tidal wave of new very sick patients, as the state exhausts its resources. part of what ellison heard was that the fact that so many young people are getting so much sicker now is driving a lot of how hard this is on doctors and nurses. here's the director of critical care at singing river health in ocean springs, mississippi. >> there are often family members who want to talk to us one of the most difficult things is discussing end of life, and worsening status with family members of these young patients. so whereas before, we were talking to children of these elderly people who were often prepared in their minds for their eventual demise. now we're talking to parents. we're talking to young spouses. and th

that case of mississippi law where mississippi passed a law saying at 15 weeks a child in development in the womb can be protected after that time period. it strikes right at the heart of roe v. wade where in the arbitrary ruling for the supreme court in 1973 they made up a new rule saying when a child is viable, not something that is in law in any spot, created that out of whole cloth. tomorrow morning the supreme court will reopen that conversation about viability. it's an important discussion for us to be able to have as a nation and its vital that we talk about it here as well. it is being discussed across the street of the supreme court and there are laws we should discuss your you as well. so for the next few moments there are multiple different senators are going to speak on this one issue. when is a child a child, and when should states have the right to protect their own citizens lives? supreme court made that murky and has the option tomorrow to be able to make that clear. this conversation though will circle around what should the legal standard be and how should we protect

that case is all about a mississippi law where mississippi passed a law saying at 15 weeks a child in development in the womb can be protected after that time period. it strikes right at the heart of roe v. wade, where in the arbitrary ruling from the supreme court in 1973, they made up a new rule saying when a child is viable. not something that's in law at any spot -- created that out of whole cloth. tomorrow morning the supreme court will reopen that conversation about viability. it's an important discussion for us to be able to have as a nation, and it's vital that we talk about it here as well. as it's being discussed across the street at the supreme court, there are things we should discuss here as well. so for the next few moments there are multiple different senators are going to speak on this one issue. when is a child a child and when should states have the rights to protect their own citizens' lives. the supreme court made that murky and has the option tomorrow to be able to make that clear. this conversation, though, will circle around what should that legal standard be an

from mississippi is recognized. mr. thompson: i yield two minutes to the the gentleman from new jersey, mr. gottheimer. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey is recognized. mr. gottheimer: i rise as a member of the homeland security committee in strong support of h.r. 3233 to form a bipartisan independent commission to investigate the january 6 domestic terrorism attack. on january 6, the world watched an insurrection against our government to overturn the american people. i was here in the house chamber as doors were barricaded and members and staff were forced to evacuate. this resulted in the death of a capitol police officer. these thugs like the oath keepers and proud boys attempted an insurrection. in the end, they failed. we gathered back together here and electoral college was certified. true healing cannot come about until accountability. the problem solvers caucus came together to endorse this legislation. putting aside politics to get to the bottom of what happened that day. this bipartis

so really the mississippi river and her tributaries between 1816 and 1848. 1,433. people died a born steamboat fires and explosions. so if you live in new orleans, you're kind of just a nerd to this level of violence say chaos and you just dismiss it as an accident. no big deal. but there's one entity that sees this nine boat fire and thinks maybe there's something suspicious going on. maybe it's an act of sabotage and this is intentional and that's the cincinnati daily press when they report on the fire. they say it's the work of a quote unquote negro negro incendiary. now they don't expand on that. so we're not 100% clear. what clear what they mean is that an african-american? is that an abolitionist republican? is it just somebody who has some dark nefarious intentions? that we don't know what we do know, is that the cincinnati daily press is saying that this new orleans fire is in fact deliberate arson and intention intentional, but it's sabotage. okay, now we're going to fast forward two years. and we're gonna get to 1863. right one of the most costly boat bur

and then threw him in the mississippi -- i mean in the pearl river, in mississippi. and he was 13 years old. and it became, you know, a concern of mine. because i saw the bloated head with wire twisted on the side of his head. and this 13-year-old, and i was told it was as a result of segregation. segregation allow people to think that they could do these kinds of crimes, and get by with them. and in this case, that is exactly what happened. the two people were tried, who murdered emmett till, and i think the jury state and about 45 minutes, and came back out with a not guilty verdict. and i think many of us during that baby boomer generation saw the murder of emmett till as a jump off point for us, that we had to find ways we could get rid of the segregation and discrimination, where we had to ensure that justice, that justice in america was equitable to everybody and so that kind of political consciousness kind of came over many of us at that time. and we had to find a way we can express that. that came in 1960 one that students at north carolina a and t set in --

he became field secretary for the naacp in mississippi and he roamed the state of mississippi, put about 40,000 miles a year on his oldsmobile. and so he went to naacp branches, tried to recruit members. he got involved in voting rights. he was involved in the protests and sit-ins that took place in downtown jackson. he wasn't involved in the sit-in but he was involved in the organization of students. we have one of them here with us tonight, joan trompauer is with us tonight. [ applause ] mike is here who wrote a book about that, glad to have you all here. [ applause ] it's kind of that iconic photo, if you've ever seen it, the most violent response to a sit-in in the united states during the early '60s. and so medgar, on the same night that president kennedy told the nation that the grandsons of slaves were still not free, medgar evers came home that night just after midnight and was shot in the back in his driveway. and his wife, children, heard the shot, ran outside, and saw his blood, screamed. and he was pronounced dead within an hour or so. 26 years later, i'm standing with his as

, down by gulfport mississippi. he went on in the interview to say that one of the challenges that they are growing into now is nurses who are working so hard and working double time, triple time, nurses finding that ultimately they cannot keep working in the icu, they can't take it anymore under the circumstances, in part because of the frustration as he put it, that almost all of the suffering could be prevented if people just got vaccinated. frustration over that is driving nurses to leave critical care, at this critical time also with these increasing numbers of sick people, they are just exhausted and can't go on. >> we have a solution by getting the vaccine and wearing our masks and doing what we need to do. we're tired. nurses are so tired. it's getting to the point where we need help. we've been helping as much as we can and we need help from our community. i respect everybody's choice to get vaccinated or not but when it comes down to it it's just gonna continue to get worse. and it's gonna get to a point w

and now it's mississippi. our surge went from less than 100 cases per day in mississippi to 3,600, much like what happened in the country of israel, much like what happened in the country of great britain and england. we saw a very quick spike and now we're seeing a very quick decline in the total number of cases. we spiked at about 3,600, we're now half of that in our state. as you know, unfortunately fatalities is a lagging indicator when it comes to the virus. it's a lagging indicator. timing has as much to do with that statistic you used as anything else. as we see in 2021 what occurred in 2020 as the delta variant moves around the country and it's going to happen. preponderate wants you to believe that the delta variant is only affecting republicans in red states. that's not true. that is not a fact. that is just not true. so what you're going to see -- >> governor, my point is this -- you compare yourself to israel. >> going to move around the country and you're going to see fatalities ride in other stat

all right, welcome to mississippi. you've been watching the president over the last few days, i'm sorry to hear that, and there were some overlooked follies i understand. >> there were. president biden's guests, he is practically a monday through friday folly but i won't go on. the good news is when he is really in a pickle, when he is simply saying things that are untrue he can always rely on some help from his friends. >> what did you do for me lately? $1.9 billion we took care of. >> los angeles and -- what am i doing here? >> is at long beach? >> long beach, thank you. >> those were the two more mild fumbles but the white house spent the day trying to clean that up. those were simply untrue statements for the president told anderson cooper he was going to deploy the national guard to relieve the supply chain constipation. nope, they can't do that. you know why? the white house said we don't plan to do it, that is the governor's prerogative, someone didn't tell biden and then this is even worse, he's been down to th

in the great state of mississippi. local officials today in mississippi expressed gratitude for the team of federal doctors and nurses and pharmacists and other medical personnel that have been deployed from the federal government as disaster-response personnel. basically, to try to save the collapsing-hospital system in the state of mississippi. >> our icus, today, are full. our patient beds are full. so, you know, we continue to be in that situation where the bed -- um -- the bed capacity is extremely tight. we do not believe that we're at a point where we've hit the peak or we're turning the corner. in fact, we think, you know, we are still on that upward climb. so, working with the department of health, with the governor's office, we made a request for these federal resources. and just learned, earlier-this week, that, in fact, we would get the team. they have arrived. they are assembling. and we are eager to start, tomorrow, actually having patient care provided here in this facility. we are -- um -- very thankful

he's not, you know, senate or eastman out of mississippi. he's some other that johnson that depends on delivered votes if he's going to be reelected anybody else for that matter, and so -- geography i think shifts the dynamic of very dramatically. and i think this was recommended at the time that you move to the north, and now your basic tactic of exposing something that is morally evil -- but you're finding it there the place in the north that formally provided you some kind of political support. >> uh-huh. >> and so you get people in the streets throwing bricks and so forth not that they haven't been racist -- and done things threek like that before they have in the 1940s, that's -- a attack and people try to move into white neighborhoods, for example. but now there's no counterforce that's challenging that. to any great extent -- and so the dynamic is very different. now one would have to, you know, it would take some explanation to try to tease that out but that is basically the -- the entity of questions. that you know, why it was falte

they left mississippi. some of the leaders in mississippi went on to organize in a different way than hammer was organizing. people to plant gardens, grow their own food, raise hogs so they would have meat for the winter time. and health care, she wanted healthcare for everybody. it was not good healthcare and accessing it was very difficult and expensive. she wanted universal preschool for every child. she was struggling for all the issues we are still struggling for that. she understood those basic things in her community could be replicated throughout the country. but her support system really fell away and it is tragic anyway. but a lot of those people went on to do great things in other parts of the country. that left her still in mississippi struggling with that economy, that environment. and it still in the bottom five for healthcare. and for education et cetera in the country so mississippi is still struggling. >> is there a landmark to show her she's from and recognize her? >> yes there is a monume

there was the recent opening of the mississippi civil rights museum. so actually acknowledging what happened and trying to celebrate and amplify it in some sort of way is something that we've seen happen a lot of these southern states, but part of the redemption and the reconciliation is because there have been actual convictions. >> yes. >> because of the work that you've done. so can you talk about how you feel about how your work fits into the legacy of the history of mississippi. >> i think what's important is the first thing, before you have reconciliation you have to have truth. you have to have truth. i think it's been part of the problem that the truth hasn't been told. i mean, how many students learned about this in school and i think that's one of the reasons i do this on my facebook page and twitter pages because every day when i post these things i'm kind of amazed by how many people both black and white say i never knew this. so it's history as i always put it, it's not just black history, this is american history and i'm amazed by how it'
