juan: could you give us your sense, the national news on detroit is of a detroit renaissance. what is your message to people across the country of what is happening in detroit as you are heading into a mayoral primary? there is, in fact, a renaissance, but the sad thing about it -- detroit is 143 square miles. is happening in 7.2 of those square miles. youhose 7.2 square miles have developers getting tax subsidies, tax breaks, tax incentives that benefit people who are mostly newcomers to the city. while those long-standing detroit residents who stayed in detroit after the riots, stayed with the choice to its hardest times are now being subject to monumental tax injustice. the story of the revival we need to take a closer look at it. mayor, how hase he responded to the report? bernadette: in january, the city finished a reassessment of all of the city properties. for the first time in 50 years, they are doing what they were supposed to be doing, assessing properties based on their current market value. i had the opportunity to ask him about unconstitutional tax assessments. hi

thousands of white families fled the city, reshaping the makeup of detroit. 50 years later, detroit is being rereshaped again but under different circumstances. the choice is now 80% african-american and 40% of the city's residents live below the federal poverty lines. but as downtown detroit becomes increasingly justified among thousands of longtime residents, mostly african-american families , have lost their homes to foreclosure. amy: a recent study called "stategraft" found one in four detroit properties have e been susubject to prior -- foreclosue between 2011 and 2015.5. according to legal experts, many of the foreclosures may have violated the state's constitution. we go to detroit, michigan where we are joined by bernadette at hene, along -- atua with her colleague who authored the study "stategraft." in the new york times isis entitled "don't let detroit's revival rest on an injustice." she is with the coalition to end unconstitutional tax foreclosures. we invited the detroit mayor mike dugan to be on the show but did not get a response. tomorrow is the detroit mayoral primary

not recognizing in detroit the workforce came right out of high school, detroit shops were fantastic and i got in with a good teacher, i grew in that, but two years, the last two years in detroit used to have apprenticeship program, out of shop, sensible and shop teacher, compete for a football game, they machine, how well can you do it? you are stuck. in mind, these guys, that had been reached as apprentices in the paper. you got an apprenticeship, dodge maine and tourism and plymouth, packard, believe it or not, my shot came back and my shop teacher and my principal had been, called me in because i wanted to know what was going on and got in a room, they made a decision, and verifying i was a good technician and never should be adjudicated. a shop in unions at that time made the decision that no black person would be admitted to an apprenticeship program at that time. this was probably in the mid-40s, 46-47. you just didn't get in. when that happened, i remember not wanting to do anything else, let me hang around the shop all the time. that was my first real experience, discriminat

detroit, i've seen many rave reviews already. i'm a big fan of kathryn bigelow who won an oscar for the hurt locker and directed zero dark thirty. the film is set in 1967 in the detroit riots, it begins with a broad canvas and the film slowly focuses in on a particular event. at the beginning, a speak easy is raided, rioting breaks out, the state troopers and national guardsmen are sent in, the rioting continues. we then follow a particular character played by a musician who is denied his moment in the spotlight because the riot is breaking mout. he takes refuge in the algiers motel. the police then discend on the motel where they believe there is a sniper. the police are led by a character called krause played by will poulter. who is described by writer mark boal as a character who is inspired by the recorded deeds of a detroit policeman, although he is a fictional character. meanwhile john boyega who is such a brilliant actor, is a security guard who finds himself in the middle of an impossible situation. he's somebody who is d

john: "detroit" gave me purpose. i like to do movies that have a big commentary on the world once in a while. i like to have fun most of the time. sometimes my mind draws me toward projects that have serious context. it changed me in a sense because now i am having to tell my agent i do not want to ever be below this creative standard that was in "detroit." i never want to go below that because i was exposed to a side of myself creatively. charlie: she got things out of you you might not have it even known yourself. john: yes, 100%. charlie: did you feel some sense of urgency that we find the rawest part of racism and show it? kathryn: i don't want to speak for mark, but i think what was most important was the truth and honesty of the story and tell it with as much integrity as possible. mark: that is a good question. i am not sure i would phrase it exactly like that. the way i thought about it was a very frank and unvarnished portrayal. you put it so eloquently at a panel the other day. that racism is, on one level,

then there was detroit, a film based on there was detroit, a film based on the 1967 detroit riots, directed by catherine bigelow. it sparked a fair bit of debate which is still ongoing. in detroit, a city at war, violence continues. what is a black film? is it possible for white filmmakers in hollywood to adequately tell stories from a black respective? the film detroit, set in detroit, michigan, and directed by a kathryn bigelow, has reignited this debate. the film depicts the algiers motel incident where the cops during the riot thought there was a sniper in the motel, and they went and lined a bunch of people up against the wall, and kept them there for hours, and terrorise them. and by the time the incident was over, three african—america ns were the time the incident was over, three african—americans were dead.” got all night, people. the centrepiece of the movie is the 45 minute long motel sequence. some have said that this is the most powerful part of the film, as it gives a window into the nature of police brutality, which is still present to this day. 0thers police brutality,

detroit in those days, a little bit of a different detroit, maybe a more optimistic detroit than there is now, right? - yeah, i don't know, depending on who you talk to. i haven't really been back in detroit properly in the city for a while, but some people say there's a great art scene there now, which i would like to go and check out. lots of stuff happening, and hopefully a rebirth at some point. - the city's coming back. you went to art school in detroit first, before going at san francisco. - [mary lynn] yes. different experience than being out in the west coast? - absolutely, i mean, i love detroit a lot. that was a really exciting time in my life because i kind of went to art school because i wasn't a good student, i didn't... study very much. college wasn't...i just thought, "ehh, i don't wanna do that, "i'm gonna have to take subjects over again "that i was never interested in the first place, "or i'm gonna have to get a job." so i found art school just to - [evan] perfect pause. - [mary lynn] to not have to do any of those, and i thought, "oh, let me try to draw something, "a

"detroit" is about an event that happened 50 years ago this year. can you explain to people what the movie is about? >> basically, there was a bar in new york -- i mean, in "detroit" called "the blind pig" and the police raided the bar looking for an inspecting person in the bar, he wasn't there and ended up arresting everybody and it sparked an uprising in 1967, you know, america was a boiling pot, and that kind of just took over after they raided this bar and just sparked what we knew as the detroit riots. >> stephen: how long did they last and what happened to the city? >> the city was decimated. over 40 people were injured and killed. over 40 people died during the riot. once it was all said and done, the city was just leveled. >> stephen: some people said detroit never really recovered from this event, that it's still using in the shadow of 1967. >> yes, but detroit is the growth place of america, i feel. ( cheers and applause ) detroit is truly the rose that grew from concrete. if you look at everything that's happened in america, every time i

same would go for cleveland and detroit, etc. we were kind of the leading edge of the freeway building boom. traffic congestion. i live with friends and colleagues say we have traffic. we have no traffic. my commute is nine minutes. we are in the midst of tearing freeway-mile of urban in the core of the city. the freeway was built for 100,000 cars in the 1970's. it was never finished. it carried 20,000 cars about ten years ago. i think we made the good decision not to double down on that awful investment that should have never been made. right now, we're carrying that freeway out. it will free up 30 acres that we can redevelop. it is either a linear park, some mixed use. maybe a mix of both. we do have a lot of opportunities, if you know where to look for them. it's more a matter of being the best city we can. i think if we do that, we will be attractive to people. lewis: coming off of that, if we can come back to the cultural side. the importance of place. how that attracts people and creates a sense of value. somebody want to c

and director kathryn bigelow's movie d "detroit" unfolds police brutality and corruption set against the backdrop of the detroit riots. >> i need you to survive the night. >> survive the night. >> rose: we'll have those stories and more on what happened and what might happen. >> rose: funding for "charlie rose" has been provided by the following: >> and by bloomberg, a provider of multimedia news and information services worldwide. captioning sponsored by rose communications >> rose: and so you began how? >> work with them. >> rose: is it luck at all, or is it something else? >> committing myself. >> rose: what's the object lesson here? >> tackle the big things. >> rose: tell me the significance of the moment. >> rose: this was the week retired general john kelly was sworn in as president trump's new chief of staff. "the washington post" obtained trichts of the president's calls with leaders of mexico and australia. and the city of los angeles was awarded its third olympics, the 2028 summer games. here are the sights and sounds of the past seven days. >> nikki haley calling venezuela

i wanted to bring back a to the detroit example. we saw some really amazing stuff for me but he hasn't been there lately of the downtown detroit has turned over in a profound way. the other 138 square miles of detroit hasn't seen much change. so what i want to ask is, how do we build this movement going forward that is equal access? that brings economic growth nudges where the money wants to go but the places that need it the most? not just making great places for the people who wants to be there next but the people who are living there now? >> that's a great question. in a lot of ways that question is almost the flipside of the one about supply. arlene is an example of people being picked up by new housing or what it's gonna do, i think in my part of the country it's almost in the opposite concerned that people will read about gentrification in new york and san francisco in anything new happens in that genie is out of the bottle and people are worried about it, not to minimize the concerns that drive why people may feel that way, b

my guest tonight the academy award winning director of the new movie "detroit" kathryn bigelow is here, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) really excited for the conversation. but first, to start today's show, let us please open our twitters to the book of donald. ( laughter ) as we read from tweet 8:28 a.m. highest stock -- blah blah blah, blah blah -- economic numbers, blah blah blah -- 17 years -- blah blah blah -- border secure, supreme court -- no white house chaos. none. zero, not even a little bit of chaos in the white house. >> we do have breaking news. president trump has removed anthony scaramucci as communications director. >> this is a white house that appears to be in staff chaos and turmoil from week to week. >> trevor: wait, what?! scaramucci out? he just got here! i just bought the scaramucci 2017 jersey! what the hell, people! i just bought it! i haven't even finished my scaramucci tattoo! now it's just a scar! what am i supposed to do with another scar tattoo! i've got one from the lion ding, now i have two? scaramucci's job hadn't started yet. his official start date

you are a white woman telling a story of black people in "detroit." why would you do that? >> well, i think that -- i mean, i certainly had to do some soul searching in order to answer that and then go forward with it, but i found the story so moving, and i felt that it was an important story to tell and so compelling that -- and i had the opportunity to tell it, so i thought perhaps that mitigated the negative aspects of the fact. i thought, am i the right person to tell this story? absolutely not. but does the story need tell? yes. that was my motivation. >> trevor: when you worked on the story, as well, i noticed you worked with key figures within the african-american community, people who could lend credence to the story and make it factually correct. it was based specifically on the algiers hotel incident. why that incident in particular and why did you feel it was so important to get prominent african-american historians in the project. >> we were fortunate to have michael dyson and henry lewis gates to help us with this project. what was so important is to base it on

i went from "star wars 8" to "detroit" and then went from "detroit" to "pacific rim" and then went from "pacific rim" to a play. and then here i am. >> jimmy: there you go. [ cheers and applause ] you know where you are, yeah. no breaks at all. >> no breaks. >> jimmy: but, you finished also "the last jedi." >> yes. >> jimmy: so that's out. so we just found out even that that was the title of the film. do they let you know besides the scenes you're in what the movie is about? >> no. i think they have that thing will smith had in those "men in black" films that makes you forget everything. [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah, exatly, yeah. >> so yeah, we don't get to know about the little secrets. but it's nice. we get to be a part of the surprise like you guys. >> jimmy: i mean, but, i mean are you just going around now just signing lightsabers? do you own a like a lot of -- i would think that you would have a collection of lightsabers in your house. >> i mean i do. but it is limited. because any time i have like family members over, my parents are kind of just like, "yeah, you should give one of

of detroit. what i want to ask is how to build an urban movement going forward that is equal access, actually brings economic growth not just where the money wants to go but places that need it the most. how do you fill something that is making great places for people who will live there next but people who will live there now. >> the flip side of the one about supply. in the example, people being very freaked out by new housing, in my part of the country, it is almost the opposite, people read about gentrification in new york and san francisco, this gentrification genie is out of the bottle and people are worried about it, not to minimize concerns that thrive, my response in my city, they say gentrification is out, a great problem for us to have. i am familiar with this, other than two years, our part of the country has been unrelentingly negative about the future of cities, people get the stockholm syndrome, whoever coined the term should get an award for what it should be called, people come t

joining me now is a native of detroit, the one and only dr. michael eric dyson, he is a professor at georgetown university and author of the book "hears we cannot stop, a sermon to white america." thank you for being with me, dr. dys dyson. >> thank you. >> when i watched this the other night i hosted one of the screenings i thought of you because you are from detroit. >> right. >> you more than anyone in academia have interpreted this problem of policing today. looking back 50 years when you were a kid, i was a kid. >> right. >> but i remember i was maybe 12, i remember the riots in detroit but this is the first time we've seen in a thriller the story told, the viciousness and the context of why people erupted in the violence. martin luther king used to say that the riots are the voice of the unheard. >> that's right. no, that's a bril yaliant summa and you're absolutely right that this film shows a spotlight not only on the urban rebellion in '67 but a specifically tragic incident where three black teens lost their lives at the hand of vicio

so these people are looking across, you know, the detroit river to windsor. and sometimes even windsor wasn't far enough. you had to keep going, amherstburg on to chat ham, ontario, on to toronto. and, of course, chatham later on would become a profound what you call community of abolition arists that was up there. we can talk about osmond anderson who was one of the black men who rode with john brown. and when you start talking about the later period after the whole abolitionist beginning with william lambert, here's frederick douglass comes to detroit, and he meets with john brown. there's a marker of it downtown on, you know, second baptist church was very instrumental in that. >> yeah. >> of course, st. matthews was going to be instrumental later on. we cannot ignore the church, you know are, and this whole coming together in terms of resistance, you know, the whole idea of self-determination? it was coming from a number of church leaders who were affiliated with the abolitionist movement, but no one more pronounced and profound than william lambert. his

the kids in detroit. know what the test scores are in detroit? >> let's talk about the kids in detroit. do you have any idea that betsy devos changed -- >> tucker: oh, i'm sure it's her fault. this has been going on for generations. as of right now, 96% of kids in detroit schools -- 96% -- are not proficient in math. 93 are not proficient in english. you say, people of privilege -- those people have no privilege. people of privilege, including the representatives come with a black caucus, the people who claim to speak for the people, they don't say squat about that. what's the reason? is that betsy devos' problem? >> she is the secretary of education. she should be o concerned with education around the country, particularly in her home state. >> tucker: this has been going on for generations and no one says squat. 100 people are shot and one day in chicago and everyone says, whatever. p but the real problem is the lee at you. i think that's a fair conversation. but it's disproportionate and its cover for the failures of rtthe leadership class, no

detroit is a disaster and has been for generations. a sad way. people in charge of detroit says the statues in richmond are the problem. that's a lie. when are normal people going to call their leaders to account for their failures and hiding behind made-up controversies like this? >> you're mixing two different issues here. there's people concerned about what's going on around the country in cities like detroit, cities like baltimore. however, we want symbols in our cities and in our states that show what we want to be as a nation. not only where we've been but what is it that we want to be. those are the kinds of things that you should honor and have as monuments. a monument is different than talking about history. we believe, most people believe, that for example the confederacy or christopher columbus or all of those things certainly belong in books, they belong in museums. do we want to honor what they have done? that's a different story. >> tucker: yeah, i'm partly sympathetic for that. it paid for with public funds. in detroit, you know, t

those first roads coming into the region when it came up from detroit vacate its connection here economically it was still tied to a british interests with the war of 1812 there those british interest of finance the railroad to the point that they were built to a british design so you could go to places it in ontario and other areas in canada in the letter destruction and not only the immigration plaint that was one of the first drops when they came to the united states tour came through engaged that because of that and they would not have come here otherwise. and with industry leader ron and basically in this region because of the connection with the railroad with fed doubled, but was unique and the fact you could pick one or two different things is huge because distil the data over a presence -- river a presence in the theater. some worked we had a large facility as they were located to the north of us that we know now is the township that basically were rebuilt because of world war war i through the air early 1890's the largest employer in the community and several others and those that we

detroit is also aiming to be part of that conversation. a film that feels both historical and all too relevant to today. lizo mzimba, bbc news.

bloomberg's auto reporter joins us live from detroit. jimmy, the numbers were not terrible for the detroit makers, but they were also not all that amazing. jim: they are pretty close to terrible. the overall demand is pretty good and the rates are pretty good, but these are some of the worst declines we have seen in about a year for some of these companies. it definitely was a big surprise. we do not see double-digit drops very often and for g.m. to see it on their silverado and full-size pickups, it was a surprise. maybe it was a blip or the had month a sales the same year ago and some difficult comparisons that may have had a role. this was a pretty ugly month for the detroit automakers while everyone else is doing ok. vonnie: we are looking at a difficult comparison and were also looking at analysts looking for an enormous basis. that's unhealth been healthy. jamie: we have seen strong profits from g.m. and ford and even fiat chrysler, which has been cutting production. they killed off a couple of car lines and skinny the jeep lineup

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: absolutely. oh, it's the best. >> so, yeah, that was my dream, and then now to be able to do "hamlet," and to play -- and to play horatio. >> jimmy: horatio. >> the character i'm playing, which is a character i've wanted to play -- it's a very specific thing to want to do is be in theater, and play
