they outlawed the naacp in alabama in the 1950's. so being the astute person he was he started another legislation that did the same thing, but it did not have national backing. they continued to work. the neighbor organized workers, that acronym was now. in the 1960's, things started to move faster and they wanted results faster. they wanted things to happen now. one of the most profound legal things that happened was mobile was set up with three districts, none of which had a majority of african-american. there was never an african-american city commissioner. because african-americans were about 45-50 percent of the population, the community never failed to say they were getting their fair return as far as sidewalks, streetlights and community centers, but they were never at the table when the money was being allocated. ultimately, the city was sued and the case was olden sorry bolden versus the city of mobile. the lower court sent it back to mobile and it went to the capital. ultimately, it came back for the citizens to vote on it

politics be alabamaed. -- be damned. president kennedy had a phrase those triumphed over all personal and considerations. he called them profiles in courage. doug jones is a profile in courage for our times. but before i get carried away with too many grand compliments. it's important to remind colleagues that doug jones is a human being, just a joy to be around. just ask his good friend, the senator from montana. more than once doug would catch senator tester giving an impassioned speech on the floor and think to himself, i'll bet you he didn't turn his phone off. let me give him a ring and see what happens. just take a look at doug's office festooned with memorabilia of every particular crimson tide footballs, keepsakes from his favorite bands. you can go see his rocking chair, one of those southern veranda sweet-tea chairs and most impressively to this yankee fan, joe dimaggio. if doug jones has one hobby beside hunting, it's autograph hunting. he's managed to collect a signature on a baseball from every senator in th

people in alabama can do the same thing. and you know, this is a bird that is basically a symbol of looking back, going back to get what you missed, or what was taken, or were to overlooked. it's about looking back to retrieve what has been lost, so that you integrate with that is, the wisdom of it into your present consciousness. if you notice with this bird, i don't know if you see it, the head is turned backwards, the feet are turned forward. so you move towards the future that you want. next one. this brings us to a close. what we still have to learn in this country is that all of us here are human beings. and as martin luther king said, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, and all those treating anyone inhumanely anywhere is a threat to our humanity everywhere. we have to be mindful of that, as we go forward.

it's just the alabama guy in me. i still haven't forgiven the a.p. for what they did to alabama in 1977 when we won 35-10 over ohio state, were the number two team and they jumped texas from five to one beating an average notre dame team. but, you know, we're not -- in tuscaloosa, we don't have long memories. we don't remember those sort of things. but let's bring in right now long-time sports talk radio host known by many as the leading sports authority in the south and the voice of the s.e.c., he's also got incredible tv show, paul finebaum. he's the host of "the paul finebaum show." and it's on -- you can see him on s.e.c. network and also on espn radio. so, paul, i was watching notre dame get drubbed, knocked all over the field. by the way, i was rooting for them. i was calling bob costa every three seconds because now clemson has taken the place of auburn or notre dame for me. i want clemson to lose. i don't care who they're playing against, i just want them to lose. and if dabo comes and coaches tuscaloosa in tuscaloosa, i'll become an ole miss

speaking a black vernacular with an alabama accent? they didn't speak this in west africa. so the question is what happened to him that this is now the language that he speaks, and everything that happened to him is encoded in that language. this is why these publishers didn't want to publish that or to read it or to be forced to read something that wasn't what they're used to hearing. they want to change it so they can access it rather than changing themselves so they can access what kossola was talking about. as one of the descendants who spoke earlier today talked about, alice walker's forward to "barracoon." alice walker looks at "barracoon" as both a -- he shows us -- kossola shows us our wound, and he also shows us what the medicine is for that wounding. so the wounding is this grief. the wounding is this pain. the wounding is this loss. the wounding is everything that he would never, ever again be able to see or experience. the loneliness, you know, the -- not only there, he lost so much when he was uprooted from the continent,

alabama was known as a forestry state and still is. instead, what they did on the way to africa, they built 130 slots underneath the boat to house the individuals that they were going to bring back from africa. captain foster gets from africa and he gets to the country called the kingdom of dahomey. today if we were to google that, it is the country of benin. he gets an interpreter. the interpreter takes them to a warehouse. there were 4000 naked individuals. the captain was shrewd. he said the bet was for 100, but i need 130 in case some of them die, if i have to kill some, or if they commit suicide. i want to make sure timothy meaher wins that bet. he tells the interpreter to get him individuals from four or five different tribes so that way, he would have less of a chance of a mutiny upon return because they did not speak the same language. and then he said for every man, get me a woman, and for every little boy, get me a girl. if you look to the right, you will see a bridge suspended like a ship. the clotilda was a two mast ship th
