>> that is just, it really, it is not just the story of the philadelphia inquirer. this is the story of american journalism. as we know it has not had people of color, women, lgbtq folks, other marginalized community, as a really representative part of the staff even in communities where they claim to want to cover. the enquirer's founder said that they wanted this newspaper to be and enquirer for all. in fact at best it has been an enquirer for some over the past two centuries. if they are going to get their, they have to have goals like increasing the minority representation. not only among the staff but really among the gatekeepers and the decision-makers that are behind the decisions of a lot of the coverage of the city telling the narrative of who in what's philadelphia's. where philadelphia is going. that wires people that has a range of lived experiences. who are bringing that lived experience to the pages of the newspaper. >> they have put out the other day publishing a tweet that they have chronicled the baltimore sun's history in covering the black communi

so this is working in philadelphia this this this work i'm going to report on tonight this philadelphia and it has implications probably understand other areas of the of our country. but keep in mind. this is a this is about this is about philadelphia, so in 1955 we rosa parks refused to move from her seat in the white section of montgomery bus. that day she started. a new day for black people and for the civil rights her actions inspired many others of the black community people who have been committed themselves to the struggle the first class citizenship. demanding a better day for themselves and their people their actions aided and led by dr. martin luther king jr. 26 year old minister brought the bus company and the city to its knees and resulted in a major victory for the nascent civil rights movement that ultimately elevated the status. of black people in america over the past 50 years americans society is undergoing a major racial incorporation process. because large numbers of black people have left the rural areas and urban ghettos. and made their way into the wider society. i

and philadelphia. how does the policing -- executive director for the advisory commission there in philadelphia. how are you working for police forces on issues of public safety? guest: we are working with some police forces, for sure. one of the things we pride ourselves on is the idea that we center in communities, not necessarily law enforcement agencies. we work with communities and law enforcement and minister polities to understand what issues are important to the community, important to law enforcement, and how those issues impact the relationship and impact equity in public safety and what solutions from the community can be utilized to improve the way they experience public safety and to increase public safety. host: almost two years after the george floyd murder and the social justice protests after that, what are those big issues in public safety that you are hearing from communities? what are top priorities? guest: a lot of those issues are actually shared by community and police, yet it is

this is not ideal timing. >> philadelphia's police commissioner danielle outlaw says it's not the ideal timing because of high crime and reduced staff. >> we don't have the same staffing numbers we had a year ago let alone five years ago. and then we introduce this operational change. my thing is what can we do now to get ahead of criminals having the perception they can go and do whatever they want? we're not ceasing police work. i can't be any clearer that addressing violent crime is our number one priority. the only difference with in is saying it cannot be the primary reason that i pulled you over. >> the bill makes 8 voos violations secondary violations. past due emissions and inspection stickers, late registration, minor bumper damage, having one taillight out. relocation of a license plate. items hanging from the rear view mirror pvrp wrong location for window permits. and it contains a data component. >> we can assess the progress of the bill six months, one year, 18 months in. >> the steps in philadelphia are incremental. limited changes designed with the hope they produce big

is that tax still on drinks in philadelphia. my knowledge it is and you know as with taxes taxes are some what easy to come by but they're difficult to get rid of and i give you a case in point we talk about this in our book cooperation and coercion the johnstown city tax. this is johnstown, pennsylvania back in the 50s. it was decimated by a flood and so pennsylvania said, okay, we're going to put a tax on alcohol and the proceeds from this tax will rebuild johnstown after the flood and of course the tax generated lots of money in the rebuilt johnstown, but once johnstown was rebuilt the tax didn't go away. we still have the tax today. in fact to date pennsylvania has collected. for revenue from that tax to rebuild johnstown six times over and the tax will not go away because once government gets attacks it likes to hang on to it. professor davies you write in your book the essence of government is force. yeah, yeah, the essence of government is forced when when we wrote this book what motivated it was. we look back through his

so we're sitting here in philadelphia here in 2021. in the philadelphia that he was living in in 1776 that he marched through on the way to yorktown if you will as well. actually he sailed through it in 1781 and the like but we're part of that imagine community. we're part of an imagined community right now is we're all finally getting to see each other, but then there are those of them who are over there over zoom. so i say hi to you you're part of this imagine community. we're all together to look at this particular history, but the other part that benedict anderson had mentioned in his is that when we form these communities he talked about journeys or pilgrimages between times and statuses and places. so again, we're part of that journey. but these are meaning creating experiences that create the experience of the imagine community. and so i'd like us to consider too that when we look at the continental army as it is marching through the united states the new united states they are creating this community and it's not all imagined.

a lot of that is philadelphia omicron. the interesting number, prices paid in philadelphia falls to 69.3 from 72.5. still very elevated but it is a decline. this is because business -- is this because business load because of omicron or are we starting to see inventories rise and companies to do slow the rate of pricing? jonathan: thank you as always. world-class at breaking down the stop. looking at the data, pmi next week, pce deflator, the ism as we break into march. jobless claims sprinkled through the week every week. march 10, the final cpi report before the fed meets on march 15 and march 16. tom: they are data dependent. i believe that is what kathleen bostjancic has written. i look at the data and i look at the tertiary data, empire this in philadelphia that. other indices you know and i do not know. what does the tertiary and secondary data say about the growth first derivative in america? kathleen: happy to be with you. on the one hand we are seeing impacts from omicron. overall it is rather limited when we look

louis, chicago, philadelphia, new york. all these cities have refused to take these lost souls, they are, men and women not in control of their mental faculties, instead of hospitalizing them, getting them medicine, they allow them to roam the streets, subways, parks and cities. as a result we continue the cycle of unchecked, unrecognized violence that could happen at any moment. you know something? in all of these cities women, workers, women need to go to the restaurants and bars and nightclubs because, if the women don't go, the men don't go. the cities will never recover until we make the city safe for women, so they don't have to uber themselves all over the place. david: it is the worst form of misogyny, is defenseless women getting killed by men. that is happening not only in new york but happening in l.a. as we saw a couple weeks ago. it is happening every day in cities around the country. finally curtis, i have to ask you about the mayor himself, mayor adams. last time you were on, very disgracious toward him, even

the philadelphia inquirer went along with dr. stanford as she went to a vaccination clinic in a high school. a 15-year-old told him his grandfather didn't want him to get a vaccine. if he did, he might have his video games taken away. joining us is dr. stanford, founder of the black doctors covid-19 consortium. she administered my first covid test in 2020. it is good to see you. let's talk about this. what's your general -- what's the general reaction and feedback you're getting to an attempt to vaccinate more kids? >> so the children who have not had access and opportunity jump at the chance. i have an educational session and i ask them, if you've been vaccinated, tell me why. if you haven't, tell me why not. that starts the conversation. i'm able to dispel myths and for my high schoolers, most of them thought that they needed parental consent, that they needed insurance, and that they needed id to get vaccinated. when i tell them that's not the case, many of them are jumping at the opportunity to get vaccinated. >> you know, wh

i did find at least two john hawkinses in the philadelphia directories. and one was more of a cobbler and another is a grocer. and i think it's possible, if he is who i think he was, he may have had some experience with leather working in the family. i'm more inclined to think he could be a grocer. with his experience, it would have been relatively easy for him to set that up and to go into trade. he definitely did not become a farmer, as far as i know. he didn't disappear. i think he was too urban for that. he didn't have that kind of experience. but i spent a lot of time trying to do it because i was determined, i am going to find this guy, i have got to. he left this marvelous journal. i've been spending all this time reading about him. i want to meet him, you know? this kind of thing. more than hazen. hazen, uh-uh, you know? but hawkins, i really wanted to meet and i couldn't. finally, one of my colleagues, after i was spending way too long, she says, you know, that's part of story here, is that so many of the people we have named on these rosters, th

also at the university of pennsylvania's hospital inso philadelphia. that's a common setup for big highly-ranked medical schools but that is not how it works for harvard. harvard is the top-ranked or one of the top-ranked schools in the united states year after year. but they don't have their own individual teaching hospital. instead, harvard medical school partners with a whole bunch of hospitals. they partner with more than a dozenre different hospitals and medical institutions in the boston area and they use all of them as their teaching hospitals and affiliates. it's part of the reason why we

and we see this happening here in boston and philadelphia. it happens in cities across the united states in this period. it's a very common way of building. and we know from property records, real estate documents, city directories that he is building in not only one of the hottest real estate regions in the city at this time, but also one of the most crowded. so i just want to show you what you're looking at here is the property map, a plat map created centuries later. this is from the early 1900s showing you the names of the property owners who bought water lot property around the same time. so there's the water lot. so this region is also incredibly dense. over 5,600 people lived on roughly 53 acres of land surrounding the wharf. if you're trying to get a sense for what that means and you like to think in terms of sports, we're thinking about approximately 55-ish football fields worth of space. and it's important that we consider this density in relative terms. so manhattan had a much smaller geographic footprint at the time that he was bu

madam speaker, i rise today to celebrate a philadelphia hero, octavius v. cato. if you come to philadelphia, you'll see a statue of him on the south side of city hall. it's the city's first public statue honoring an individual african-american. throughout his life, catto was an activist from the abolition of slavery and for equal rights for black americans. during the civil war, he joined frederick douglass and other black leaders to recruit african-americans to join the fight for emancipation. after the war, catto continued his at voe cassie and successfully fought to desegregate philadelphia's street cars. he was a many of many accomplishments. he graduated from the institute for the clerk will designate youth, which is now pennsylvania five's own cheney university, the first hbcu in the country. he also ran the undefeated baseball club of philadelphia, a negro league baseball team which played the first black vs. white game. however, the most enduring part of his legacy are his efforts to secure the right to vote for black americans. he was a champion for suff

so these were people who did not live in philadelphia but lived elsewhere and would send objects and years and other information to contribute to this larger enterprise the term cabinet was also something of a misnomer the society frequently struggled to find space to house its collections an objects actually were often loaned out to the members who lived in philadelphia as a result. they're scattered. they were circulating and they were they were not necessarily held in one place as a term like cabinet might suggest this post fairly obvious organizational challenges at one point, the curators announced kind of ruefully, that objects have been quote interested to the care of members, but never yet delivered to the society. so things got lost. to some extent. i think this really speaks to a different imagined purpose for a museum. then what we think of today. so at this point the the point was using and handling and observing these objects rather than trying to keep them perfectly preserved and they were also interested to people who were known to be interested in that field to be wor
