there were black senators, black representatives. the first black senator was in 1870. locale blacks in government. they have enough power to change the outcome of an election, even if they could not get their particular candidate and office. --have from james campbell governor of the state and mississippi, this quote "there is no use to equip gaydar lie about the matter. mississippi's constitutional convention was held for no other purpose but to eliminate the end-word from politics. not the ignorance. thethe end-word -- n-word."homer versus ferguson , the united states court decide had no rightessy to sit in the car he wanted to, he was only to sit in the car designated for people of african descent. with plessy versus ferguson in 1896, separate but equal therine is now the law of land. to give you an idea of how this affected the country politically, the black community, in louisiana the site of the plessy versus ferguson case, there were 130,000 black registered voters in 1896, the year of the decision. are less than 6000. so from 130000 and 8096 to less than 6000 b

there were black u.s. senators, black u.s. representatives. the first black u.s. senator was in 1870, hiram rebels. we have blacks in local government. and they have enough power to change the outcome of an election, even if they couldn't get their particular candidate in office. and we have from james kimble vardeman, later governor of the state and u.s. senator from mississippi, this quote. "there is no use to equivocate or lie about the matter. mississippi's constitutional convention was held for no other purpose than to eliminate the n word from politics, not the ignorant but the n word." so it was very clear when these state conventions met the focus was to eliminate the black voter. so by the time we get to 1896 in plessy versus ferguson and the u.s. supreme court decides that homer plessy had no rights that would allow him to sit in the car he wanted to sit in, he was only to sit in the car designated for people of african descent. and so with plessy versus ferguson in 1896, separate but equal doctrine is now the law of the land. and to give you an idea how

that means in the vast majority of the north, blacks were not allowed to vote. 90% of blacks lived in the south, only 10% in the north. i've seen the estimate that of that 10%, only about 7% had the right to vote. there is a trend away from lack suffrage and northern states before the civil war. states like connecticut and new jersey had allowed blacks to vote but they lost the right overtime. pennsylvania as well. half of those in northern states held referendum on black suffrage in the years after the civil war. 1866, 1867. those are states such as new york and ohio. lack suffrage was rejected in all of those states, sometimes by large margins -- black suffrage was rejected in all of those states. sometimes by large margins. in the south, no state allowed free blacks to vote after about 1930. slaves were not allowed to vote anywhere. andpresident lincoln in inter-had encouraged reconstructing states to allow some african-americans to vote, for example those who were educated or those who had fought in the union army. there is a is was ignored by southern states. republicans faced a

the birthplace of black friday is offering a fifty five inch t.v. for just one hundred eighty dollars sixty five inch for seven hundred fifty dollars for some shoppers that's a deal that doesn't need a reason when you get to t.v. from my pants room and i waited for about what you think you know. this business in paris is offering twenty percent off all items yet there's no long line before the door and only a few full bags instead there's skepticism over an american shopping spectacle. i think it's an anglo-saxon thing it's not typically french but apparently it's working pretty well there are more people on the streets than i expected. the reason i heard about it and i saw a lot of signs i received emails and coupons but it doesn't push me to buy more today. as well so there's no use in germany one resourceful businessman even license the name black friday to get around paying fees other businesses have thought of clever replacements. and in china black friday is just one of several days of mega sales others are tied to a specialist times of the ye

you had some incredible black coaches and some incredible black teachers. the best of the best lost their jobs and were asked to join the assistant coaches and that didn't sit so well with a lot of those coaches. a lot of those guys retired or left the profession and some became administrators. coach haskins became a big-time administrator, but that was the situation. so you have the so-called merger of these two leagues, but nothing is left. just be a schools. five schools in houston, worthy, cashmere, whitley and booker t. washington. fort worth terrell and dallas, washington. those are the only schools left. i went to my 50th class reunion recently and it was very sad. i couldn't believe what i was seeing because the football team i counted, and 25 players on that team, 25 players and it was the same with jack gates and it was the same thing. they simply would've happened if those schools have noticeably declined and they finally closed those schools as well. soon i'm pretty sure we are going to see no legacy for the black high schools in texas and the w
