jeffrey brown is back with our look. >> look at me. >> brown: it was a career notable for powerful performances, and a refusal to accept roles that demeaned black people. cicely tyson began acting in the 1960s, but her breakout came in the 1972 film, “sounder,” as the wife of a louisiana sharecropper. two years later came the tv movie that won her widest fame“" the autobiography of miss jane pittman.” tyson won the emmy for best lead actress, the first african american to capture that award. in a 2008 abc interview, she spoke of her resolve to avoid characters she considered ugly stereotypes. >> i remember going home and thinking, “my god, cecily, you cannot afford the luxury of just being an actress.” there were so many issues that i felt that i had to address, and i used my career as my platform. >> brown: among her many on- screen roles: kunta kinte's mother in "roots." she returned to the stage in 2013 after a three-decade absence from broadway, in a production of “the trip to bountiful,” winning a tony award. and in 2015, at age 90, joined james earl jones, a youngster at 8

henry box brown, from slavery. now, the activities of the undergroud railroad wound down in the civil war. the civil war in 1865 brought an end to 246 years of slavery in the united states. the civil war, when he broke and brought many federal troops to virginia. virginia was one of the primary theaters of warfare. troops, ofe of union federal troops in virginia, led of enslaved people running away. because enslaved people realized if they could get across union lines, they had a chance of gaining their freedom. so we see during the civil war, a lessening need for the networks of the undergroud railroad, because the sheer number of enslaved people running away from plantations to cross union lines, to gain their freedom. it brings us to the end of the activities of the undergroud railroad. a final note, before we turn to our questions. i think it is important to note that in many ways, the story of the undergroud railroad, even though certain parts of it are mythologized, and many parts that are difficult to accura

an that was another highlight of the year. >> brown: how about the best what are your picks? m >> i enjoyed tac miller album, the posthumous record, "circles." it's bittersweet when you see someone sort of take a left turn and start to really understand their artistry in a better way, and then you don't get any more. adrianne linker, who is from the band big thief, she's a great indie rock singer-songwriter who trying to clear her mind. and instead, she just started making this beautiful music and it ended up being one ofhe greatest albums of the year. >> brown: but for many musicians, 2020 has been dire. according to a survey from music workers alliance, roughly three- quarters of musi aans dj's have lost more than 75% of their income during the pandemic. some help is on the way, including $15 billion in dedicated funding to performance venues in the new covid-19 >> i do think that people want toe around other people, other bodies absorbing music. maybe there's a gater awareness of musicis as creating something that we need to support and not just appreciate. >> brown: suppt

senator brown. sen. brown: first of all, senator portman called congressman fudge and offered to cope introduce -- about her bipartisan work. we are all outspoken about our views. pat toomey is. aisleways found congressman fudge -- i always found congresswoman futch to work with me, most of our workhouse delegation of ohio, which is overwhelmingly republican. she represents her constituents with fervor and compassion. let me start with congresswoman futch. you pointed out in your testimonies, that families in our country were struggling to make rent. nearly one million evictions prior to the year prior to this, the pandemic has pushed so many millions of families over the edge. that is one of the reasons i am proud of what we did with the cares act, especially if we had kept it going. we kept 12 million out of poverty. what we did in december was called a down payment as many of us in congress have said we had to do more to prevent ways of foreclosures and evictions. give us a short version of what you w

upset over the draft submissions, barbara brown seizes the moment. she demands and gets a meeting with hawkins and staff. >> the first draft of the regulation was missing the critical piece in the puzzle and that was all of the future development that can have an impact on visibility. and the first draft of the regulations totally ducked the issue. >> this package is one of several tools -- >> brown alerts awe kins to the dangers of not regulating future polluters of the parks. to her, this issue should never have been compromised in the first place. >> it was like "alice in wonderland" we would be working to clean up the old sources but not catching up. unless it was addressed, we would be on a treadmill. >> many concerns that have been articulated during the working group meeting -- >> the demands of the park service team do not make them the most popular figures with epa staff. but the subject of controlling future sources of pollution is reinstated within the regulation by a sympathetic hawkins. a major victory for barbara brown. >> anybody who h

comparing black, brown, native american, two white, non- hispanics. the extraordinary difference in hospitalizations per hundred thousand people. taking black alone, 564 per hundred thousand compared to whites, 184. when one looks at the deaths of these individuals hundred and 32 per hundred thousand compared to 81 among the whites. again, an extraordinary disparity for the reasons i mentioned. now, the nih research on coronavirus is divided into multiple components. therapeutic, diagnostic, natural history, basic research, the one for gonna talk about today importantly is vaccines. i will tell you a little story about how this occurred and why we have the vaccines that we have right now. it has to do with the history of the national institute valerie valerie infectious disease vaccine research center. way back in it was mentioned earlier that during my years, which i'm still very much involved with hiv-aids, and december of 1996 president clinton and vice president gore invited me to the white house. they wanted to discuss aids research and here i am

in those systems that target black and brown people, that have always targeted black and brown people. when we use that term, within see leaders invoking solutions within the systems and we cannot find our solutions in systems that ultimately harm us, particularly black and brown people. juan: how would you have the biden administration or other federal authorities deal with the kind of legislation needed to curb white supremacists or neofascist groups today? >> there are over 50 federal crimes related to domestic terrorism. there is a whole framework of hate crimes laws that were graded to address white supremacy violence. law enforcement in particular the fbi, has the power to investigate before a crime has even been committed and these powers are so broad that the fbi has abuse them in ways that target black lives matter, people engaged in immigration advocates. we can go back to the civil rights movement and the surveillance of martin luther king jr. yesterday we were honoring martin luther king and today we are empowering the system that hurt him and other civil rights leaders. i

laura brown, talk about this role of congress today overall. why is it that they have to gather for a joint session? guest: well, thanks for having me on this afternoon. yes, we have a process that requires the congress to receive the electoral votes from the states. what we have to remember is that on december 14, the electors met in their respective states, they cast their ballots, and those ballots were certified by their state elected officials and their governor. and those certified ballots then were transmitted to washington and today is the day that those ballots are opened. they are received. and they are counted. to finalize what the electoral college vote tally is. host: congress has the role of counting. what does that entail? guest: well, so really what it means is to make sure that each of the electoral ballots that come in are in the appropriate form and that they have been certified by the election official and in fact by the governor of their respective state. there is a process for basically opening these, the tellers then read

the brown so have a chance. two teams not involved in wild card weekend on the top seeds of each division, this year that is the green bay packers and the kansas city chiefs. they will get a welcome rest before going directly into round two. and it looks like it is a two horse race for the coveted most valuable player title between aaron rodgers and patrick mahomes. rogers gets my vote. that is why i think he will be in the super bowl. i'm having a home—field advantage in playing at an mvp he is will get him there. from start to finish, he has been the most outstanding player, just a performance level of aaron rodgers we and week out, you have to say he is the mvp. no matter who wins this year, they won't quite have the parade the chiefs had last season. have the parade the chiefs had last season. covid—19 had to make sure that. but for one team, a chance for glory still remains. a reminder that you can follow the story while at the nfl shows on bbc 0ne tomorrow. and finally — francesca jones is a 20—yea

and the new chapter of america in this inauguration. >> brown: who are you reading to? who are you speaking to? >> that's kind of the challenging thing about writing an inaugural poem. you're speaking to everyone, but you don't also want to speak for everyone. so for me, it's trying to make a poem that is both robust but also accessible to anyone who might be watching, that they can feel that they are represented and well established in this poem. so it's a really difficult dance to do. >> brown: gorman grew up in l.a., raised by her mother, a teacher, and with two siblings including a twin sister. she had a speech impediment as a child and not only overcame it to perform as a poet but at 16 started her own youth literacy program, “one pen, one page,” to help and encourage others. >> one of the most rewarding moments of my career is when i'm speaking to a child who tells me they have the same speech impediment that i had to overcome and they're going to keep writing or sharing their voice after hearing my story. so it's a huge aspect of who i am. writing wasn't just

asheesh jah, dean of the brown university school of public health. doctor, when do we get back to normal, and what's the timeline for returning to life the way it looked before the pandemic? >> yes, so there is going to be a new normal. it's not going to look like what life looked like before the pandemic. but i think that new normal is probably sometime this summer. but there's some things, like the indoor concert, the concert where it was a lot of packed people together. that may be tough for a little while. we may need to, in certain circumstances, be wearing masks. not all the time but in certain indoor gatherings. we may find at crowded events we get a test before we go in. i can imagine airlines and others requiring us to show immunization before we board an airplane. there will be those kinds of differences that will remind us that this pandemic is still with us. but again, on a day-to-day basis, being able to see friends, family, a lot of that stuff will be possible again to do quite safely. >> many people will take that as welcome news. what

sherrod brown worked on a bipartisan basis. and military spouses, members of the committee and outside the committee come together on something here. the one we introduced recently, the four big problems through legislation, to keep lower income and part-time workers at this is an obvious issue with 27% of people who are part-time and low income saving now but when people are living paycheck to paycheck it is hard to set money aside. it focuses on small businesses because that is where the opportunity is. half of workers have access to a plan as opposed to 88% of workers employed by large businesses. it is small businesses, that is what we have to expand coverage for so many working americans. eric talked about his restaurant business. to put together a plan, we have an issue with baby boomers in that category, just not saving enough as a generation and haven't been. getting ready for retirement, as folks are living longer retirees even those who accumulated savings are finding they are outliving those savings are living longer

if you are a black or brown kid watching this happen, what are you supposed to think? when you realize you have members of the military, people that are supposed to serve and protect members of the police force, people that are supposed to serve and protect, and you may already have, you know, reservations about being able to trust these people, but then seeing them being involved in the storming of the capitol, what are you supposed to make of it? >> you're supposed to listen to rage against the machine, who called it 25 years ago and said, some of those who workforces are the same who burn crosses. this is white supremacy. we're witnessing the audacity of caucacity where we see a mostly white mob and literally law enforcement are taking selfies with them, are helping them, are part and parcel of this violent mob that wants to disrupt the election, that wants to help donald trump in his violent coup and what it shows you, if you're a black or brown person, is law enforcement is there to protect and serve whiteness, but if you're a black and brown in this country, you'

here we are at the base of brown willy, the weather is horrible. my family is with me and of course we're going to make it. well, it has been a roller—coaster ride and with covid recovery, it is a difficult thing for people to get over. they feel very tired and breathless and he does feel tired and breathless still. well, storm alex has definitely come in and look at it — the weather is blowing and the rain is heavy but it is as good as we thought it might be. he is already heading up the hill like a schoolboy. he has raced ahead of me. he is full of beans and very excited. but obviously, we are taking it sensibly, because the weather is making this even trickier. when i first started exploring, it was all about showing off, about going further and more bravely than other people. and a lot of explorers today still do just that. but i was lucky enough to discover causes, tribal people and rainforests. and i now realise it is much more important for adventurers, people doing exciting things, to have a purpose which helps to save the world. make i

one of them is a hesitancy of black and brown people to get vaccinated. that's why we need to reach out to them and convince them why it's important to get vaccinated. but we must also realize the accessibility to vaccinations may not be as easy for brown and black people as it is for the majority of white individuals, such as where you live, the kinds of facilities that are available to you. >> okay, so we've got hesitancy on the part of people of color, and then we've got access to the vaccine, which is just a repeat of what happened with the testing process. one person among many who is trying to bring awareness about the benefits of the vaccine in the black community is epidemiologist dr. kamara jones. this week she joined cori bush about concerns surrounding the vaccine and feelings of medical distrust in the black community. she joins me now. this is an anti-racism activist. dr. jones, it is great to see you again. thank you for being here. i'm deeply frustrated that literally for ten months we have had conversations about an infrastructure that doe
