that was the racial reality of the south and of alabama. morris dees made a great deal of money in the book publishing, and 1971 he started the southern poverty law center, with the idea of using the law to bring racial justice and social justice in alabama and throughout the south and he brought five young lawyers, smart young lawyers to work with him. they did great cases in. sell mark the bleak part of town there, was just dirt roads. and so he had a lawsuit that there had to be paved roads there. not only the white folks section. integrated the police in -- the state police. and he took an the klan. and his -- the southern poverty law center was firebombed. white supremacists came out one evening to husband house and he had security then. they were going to kill him. this was a struggle. he other lawyers working with him felt that this was just too much. they's come down for the civil rights struggle. they didn't come down here to live in an armed camp. and an armed camp it was. so they all left. and morris dees continued with this laws

that was the reality of the south end of alabama. maurice beas had made a great deal of money in the book publishing. in 1970 when he started the southern poverty center with the idea of using the law to bring racial justice and social justice in alabama throughout the south. he brought five young lawyers to work with him. they did all kinds of great cases. in selma, the black part of town , so he had a lawsuit. there had to be -- he emigrated the state police and all these things and he took on the clan. the southern law center was fire bombed. with the premise came out the premise came out one evening at his house around christmas time. they were going to kill them. this is a struggle. they felt that this was just too much. they didn't come down to having an armed camp. so they outlast. it's a very difficult idea, never been done before, to find the head of the organization responsible for what the individual member state. he came in 1997 in montgomery. he was seeking a $10 million judgment against the united clans of america, the

we lived in birmingham in alabama. i was raised in a small town -- i was born in oak ridge, the nuclear city, that was part of the manhattan project. we lived in an old town, east tennessee town that became a bedroom community of oak ridge. i was raised in the united methodist church. my mother comes from a long, long methodist family in north carolina. she was raised on a farm in east carolina. interestingly, i remember them talking about glide memorial here in san francisco when i was a kid. these farm folks in eastern carolina were connected to the sense of what glide represented in terms of justice. >> i'm interested in where you good morning some of your progressive values. -- where you got some of your progressive values. >> it started with my mom and also my dad. certainly my mother's commitment to justice in the methodist church. very strongly. >> you saw that in your home and the way they lived their lives? >> yes, very much they were -- they fit in with a small southern tennessee town. they were not people wh

even before alabama became a state. people would run from the law into alabama. i was amused to learn that at was point the formal name sodom. [laughter] that was the name of the community. there is no organized theeteering operation until 1920's from the state passed a prohibition law. they began flouting it. the state attorney general came in. sheriff on trial for refusing to enforce the law. with the election season came around. i started selling licenses to raise revenue. the city was broke. that is one of the reasons it really flourish there. way and ad the other lot of these violations in order to keep revenues up. >> you referenced the jim crow south. what was it about the fact that and was there an impact on organized crime because it was jim crow? i'm sorting through that. i don't have a clean answer to that. one of my overarching concerns about this was what did it mean or how did it affect race relations in phenix city in alabama when you have this all-powerful white mob. what did that mean for race relations. from what i've learned about phenix city,

a lady named wanda from alabama. she wrote this pleading letter to kefauver saying that the south was in trouble and the situation is dire. she doesn't offer a lot of detail but she is obviously very upset about what is happening. most of the letters were very specific, they named names and had dates and specific information about was going on and where and when. the correspondence files are organized by state. you can just stand the boxes and see -- scan the boxes and see that the southern states are full, they are fit files. -- thick files. letters detailing these kinds of activities. people keep making the same kinds of complaints about their local problems. they say they are linked to problems in other cities and other parts of the country. they know that the kefauver committee is looking at interstate commerce. they highlight that and would tolude newspaper clippings say that i am not pulling this out of thin air, as is really happening. there were many, many people writing with complaints about phenix city. but

the gentleman from alabama is recognized. the gentleman from alabama reserves. the gentleman from maryland. mr. cummings: i yield two minutes to the gentlelady from the district of columbia, ms. norton. the chair: the gentlelady is ecognized for two minutes. ms. norton: would want to move forward with this bill. i will have amendments to strike portions of this bill later. i just want to speak to a couple of them. the extension of the probationary period, for example. that may not raise constitutional issues but g.a.o. report was done and indicated that the problem was not with the length of the probationary period but with the use of the probationary period and that supervisors simply weren't using it and many of them didn't know when the probationary period was. why would we want to lengthen the probationary period? i'm not sure who it helps. does it help the employee? does it help the agency? in any case, depending as i do do n objective source, as i -- on an objective source, this is unnecessary. the downgrading of the s.e.s. is an absolutely bad way to deal

the gentleman from alabama is recognized. mr. byrne: as i was saying, 46,000 people die every year of drug overdose. that's one of the things that's covered in the bills that are underlying this resolution, and we just had over two hours of obstruction to try to keep us from considering that bill. it also contains the effort to get us to a conference on the national defense authorization act, which is the policy that defends the united states of america. if we want to keep terrorists from murdering people in the united states, we need to defeat them over there so that they don't come over here. so i would ask everybody in this house to get back focused on what this resolution is about, trying to save people who are tragically dying from drug overdose and protecting the people of the united states of america, the number one thing that we in this congress are here to do. so i'm glad we're back to that because that is important business for this house. mr. speaker, i, again, urge my colleagues to support house resolution 809 and the

i know a lot of people from alabama. but this is -- this man who did this shooting in dallas, he is the equivalent to dylann roof. he tried to start a race war just like dylann roof. so we have to be very careful when we're talking about even associating him with black lives matter because he was not a part of black lives matter. >> you bring up an ifnting point. sheriff, i want your reaction to what she said. but in the dylann roof case, the president identified it as a racist event, which it was. he went into a black church. in this case, he said we may never know why this man acted this way, but he did say why. he wanted to shoot white people, especially white cops. so we do know the reason. >>le wit well, right. and he said that the killer in dallas, in terms of a motive he said this is hard to untangle. it's not hard to untangle. as for that woman you were talking with, i'm trying to make some sense of something she said. i think a mental evaluation is in order. she mentioned her ancestors died so we could speak out

deep inside alabama is a famous school called the tuskegee institute. it was founded on july 4, 1881, and since that independence day, it has graduated many thousands into agriculture, into scinence, into industry. this school was the first of its kind, and its founder booker t. washington was a pioneer who broke open a road for others to follow. this man had a drink ieam. and the dream became stone. of ignorance veil and pointed the way to progress through education and industry. thee to this school, united states government determined to build an airfield. three years ago, this is just another farm in alabama. more than tre had to be cleared awaye. there was misunderstanding and distress and prejudice to be cleared away. -- and distrust. three years ago, there was an only an idea but ideas are powerful things, and today, there are fighter planes flying overhead. instead of swamp and yellow pine, there hangars, repair shops, barracks. instead of corn, concrete flight strips. but that's not enough. you can't make a fighter squadron out of concrete and a

. >> alabama. >> hinojosa: alabama. and these percentage growths we're talking about... >> more than double. so the population of hispanics in these states, in fact throughout the southeast, more than doubled in many places. now truly, when we talk about alabama, or we talk about south carolina, the hispanic populations there were were relatively small. 150,000 in 2000, for example, and it doubles to maybe 300,000 or so now. now compare that to california. california is more than 14 million latinos. so the relative size is small. nonetheless, throughout the southeast, tennessee, kentucky, georgia, alabama, all throughout arkansas, all throughout the southeast, that's where we saw the fastest percentage growth in the hispanic population. but i want to point to one state, because there's one state that's really interesting, which is georgia. georgia didn't start from a small base. georgia started at about 450,000 latinos in 2000. it's now over 800,000. it nearly doubled during the decade. >> hinojosa: and actually, in the

the gentlelady from alabama is recognized for the balance of her time. sewell sewell -- ms. sewell: thank you. i just wanted to say that i think it's really important that we not give reward -- reward battalion bad actors. i think that the -- bad actors. i think the fact is that while access to credit is critically important, to reward bad behavior is not something that should happen. i ask that you support this amendment. the chair: the gentlelady's time has expired. the gentleman from florida. mr. crenshaw: mr. chairman, nobody wants to reward bad actors. let me just say that payday lending today is regulated at the state level and my home state of florida has one of the most prosecute pro-- progressive and effective small dollar lending loan statutes in the country. it's become somewhat of a national example of the successful compromise between strong consumer protection and increased access to capital. i hope that when the cfpb exercises the pause that we ask for this in bill, they'll take a look -- for in this bill, they'll take a look at some of the progressive laws th

i never get caught, ten years. >> when we visited the holman correctional facility in alabama, producers met keith mason, who also assumes a female persona. >> what's your first name again? >> keith. but they call me precious. what makes me a girl, first of all is this, again, this is my choice. so it's nothing that i was forced into like, i walked in the door and they slapped me down and say, you're going to be my bitch. it wasn't like that. you know, when i came in, came in -- the first day i got here i went and arched my eyebrows, i did what i did. and i let the cap know, boom, i'm gay. >> having already served an earlier sentence for aggravated assault, precious was doing life on a robbery conviction. and when we met him, he was living in a state of domestic partnership with fellow inmate marquis nobles. >> i'm the wife, he's the man. i got on my band and his. that's mine, that's his. got that right here. >> this is my partner. this is my friend. this is, you know, the person that gives me strength. you know, like i say, i don't have family or anything. this is the person that helps

i have to disagree with my colleague from alabama, mr. byrne. i do not think this is federal top-down. i think this is better decision make, bottoms up, not top down, it gives opportunities for local communities to have input. i want to state, we spend no money on ocean planning. the n.o.p. does not create any federal regulations or supersede any local or state regulations. but what it does do is it leverages taxpayer dollars to reduce duplication between federal, state and local agencies, to streamline data collection and strengthen public involvement. that's what we want to have happen in our coastal communities. our oceans and coasts support three million ocean related jobs, generate 360 billion dollars through development, regular rational fish, boat, energy, shipping and other activities. this is a very effective planning tool to reconcile and coordinate those activities. it does not prevent them. and just in closing i will say that my colleague from alabama may look at this one way but i represent the state of maine which has a tremendous

i can't teach in alabama. you know, so something -- i'm not sure what that means or why that is, but, you know, we're in a room with people from all over the country. i think that's a kconversation e need to have. and those programs need to look at, i came out of college content ready. i can write a lesson, buzz words, all this stuff but lucky for me i teach in the community where i was born so i knew how to engage the community. i don't think preparation programs do enough to teach young and developing teachers -- teaching is not just about what happens in the classroom and there's not enough emphasis put on putting teachers into communities, engaging them as partners, teaching them how to work with parents outside the classroom. and then, finally, i can't leave the stage without talking about recruiting minorities. i think that so much of our problem lies in the fact that i work in the largest -- the fourth largest urban district in connecticut. it's a majority and minority district. we have about 76% minori
