Today marks a historic occasion in Washington, D.C., as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take the oath of office for his second term while the nation honors the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This rare convergence of Inauguration Day and MLK Day has happened only twice before in modern history. Trump's inauguration was moved indoors to the U.S. Capitol Rotunda due to freezing temperatures, with Chief Justice John Roberts scheduled to administer the oath at noon. Meanwhile, Rev. Al Sharpton and the National Action Network are leading a major rally and march in the nation's capital, using the overlap of events to highlight critical civil rights issues. Sharpton emphasized the importance of honoring Dr. King's vision, saying this is a moment to honor Dr. King's vision and fight against efforts that threaten to undo decades of progress. The day's events underscore the continuing struggle for civil rights and the significance of Dr. King's enduring legacy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the 1970s, a lack of community investment resulted in a large number of people leaving Harlem, a well-known New York City neighborhood in northern Manhattan.在20世纪70年代，由于社区投资不足，导致大量居民离开了哈莱姆，这是位于曼哈顿北部的纽约市著名社区。Nearly 50,000 people, about a third of the area's population, left to escape violence, crime and poor living conditions. Among those who left was LeeSandra Moore's mother who moved to the state of Virginia. “It was a scary time,” said Moore, now 52 and still living in Harlem. “I couldn't blame her for that.”大约有五万人，约占该地区人口的三分之一，离开了这里以逃避暴力、犯罪和恶劣的生活条件。LeeSandra Moore的母亲就是其中一员，她搬到了弗吉尼亚州。现年52岁的Moore仍然住在哈莱姆，她说：“那是一个可怕的时期，我不能责怪她。”Those who stayed were mostly poor, Black families. They lived through unrest that followed the 1964 killing of an unarmed Black teenager and the killings of Black leader Malcolm X in 1965 and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968.那些留下来的人大多是贫穷的黑人家庭。他们经历了1964年一名手无寸铁的黑人少年被杀后，以及1965年黑人领袖马尔科姆·X和1968年马丁·路德·金牧师被杀后的动乱。News reports described Harlem as a “sinking ship.”新闻报道将哈莱姆形容为一艘“正在下沉的船”。Percy Sutton was president of the local Manhattan government at the time. As the city's highest-ranking Black official, he knew Harlem needed a lift and started a festival called Harlem Day in 1974.当时，珀西·萨顿是曼哈顿当地政府的主席。作为该市级别最高的黑人官员，他知道哈莱姆需要振兴，于是于1974年创办了一个名为“哈莱姆日”的节日。Sutton called up elected officials. He gathered actors, like Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee, entertainers, including Tito Puente and Max Roach, and the poet Maya Angelou to celebrate the first Harlem Day. It honored Harlem's history and shows how the neighborhood became known as "Black Mecca” or the center of Black arts, culture and businesses.萨顿联系了当选官员。他召集了演员，如西德尼·波蒂埃和鲁比·迪，以及表演者，包括蒂托·普恩特和马克斯·罗奇，还有诗人玛雅·安杰卢，共同庆祝了首个哈莱姆日。这个节日纪念了哈莱姆的历史，并展示了这个社区如何成为“黑人麦加”或黑人艺术、文化和商业中心的。“It was such a successful day,” said Lloyd Williams — one of Harlem Day's co-founders and the current president of the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce — that it became a week-long yearly event called Harlem Week.“那是一个非常成功的日子，”Lloyd Williams说道，他是哈莱姆日的联合创始人之一，也是现任大哈莱姆商会的主席。这个活动变成了一年一度的周活动，称为哈莱姆周。This year, Harlem Week celebrated its 50th anniversary with 18 days filled with free programming.今年，哈莱姆周庆祝了其50周年纪念，共进行了为期18天的免费活动。The celebration included food, Broadway performances, an Apollo Hour, and a tribute to entertainer Harry Belafonte. It offered financial education and career training, and for children, back-to-school backpacks.庆祝活动包括美食、百老汇演出、阿波罗时光以及对表演者哈里·贝拉方特的致敬。还提供了财务教育和职业培训，为孩子们提供了返校背包。One important part of Harlem Week was an effort to deal with Harlem's long-standing health crises. Medical volunteers checked blood pressure and tested for cancer and diabetes. People learned about drug use, HIV/AIDS and healthy aging.哈莱姆周的一个重要部分是解决哈莱姆长期存在的健康危机。医疗志愿者测量血压，并进行癌症和糖尿病筛查。人们还了解了药物使用、艾滋病和健康老龄化知识。Rev. Al Sharpton leads the National Action Network in Harlem. He said, "Harlem Week has been the constant line through the last 50 years of America's most historic Black neighborhood."艾尔·夏普顿牧师领导了哈莱姆的全国行动网络。他说：“哈莱姆周是过去50年来美国最具历史意义的黑人社区的一条恒久线索。”Organizers and people say Harlem Week has brought new life to the area. The once-deserted neighborhood is now home to restored buildings, new businesses, and immigrants. The streets are filled with jazz, reggae, R&B, and gospel music traditions.组织者和当地人表示，哈莱姆周为该地区带来了新生。这个曾经荒废的社区现在有了修复的建筑、新的企业和移民。街道上充满了爵士、雷鬼、R&B和福音音乐的传统。Moore, the Harlem native whose mother moved to Virginia, watched as big national stores moved in. Sometimes they took the place of local shops and made rents go up. "Some of that is okay, but what about the small business where you can get that great sandwich?" she asked. Moore wants people to eat less fast food, so she teaches healthy eating and cooking to young local students.Moore的母亲搬到了弗吉尼亚，而她是哈莱姆的原住民，她目睹了大规模的全国性商店的进驻。有时它们取代了当地的小店，导致租金上涨。“有些变化是可以接受的，但那些可以让你吃到美味三明治的小店呢？”她问道。Moore希望人们少吃快餐，所以她向当地年轻学生教授健康饮食和烹饪。At Harlem Week, Moore represented GirlTrek, a national movement of Black women supporting health through walking. She said, "I feel like I should have left a long time ago, but something about Harlem draws me back to it."在哈莱姆周，Moore代表GirlTrek，这是一个通过步行支持健康的黑人女性全国运动。她说：“我觉得我早就应该离开，但哈莱姆有某种东西吸引我回到这里。”Moore continued, "Harlem is my beginning. Harlem is my future. Harlem is a huge part of what makes me who I am."Moore继续说道：“哈莱姆是我的起点。哈莱姆是我的未来。哈莱姆是让我成为今天的我的一个重要部分。”

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit has blocked the Fearless Fund, a Black-owned venture capitalist firm, from issuing grants exclusively to Black women entrepreneurs. The court ruled that the fund's grant contest likely violates Title 42 of the U.S. Code, which prohibits racial discrimination in contracts. The decision halts the fund's grant application process and marks a win for anti-affirmative action legal strategist Edward Blum. Arian Simone, CEO of the Fearless Fund, expressed devastation at the ruling, stating that it sends a message that diversity in corporate America and education should not exist. She vowed to continue the fight for economic opportunity for women of color, who received less than two percent of venture capitalist money. Rev. Al Sharpton, President of National Action Network, blasted the decision, calling it another blow to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, and emphasized the importance of standing with the Fearless Fund and all women of color entrepreneurs in the face of right-wing legal challenges.

Watson, esteemed panelists Kimberlé Crenshaw, Stephanie Ruhle, Dr. Alvin Tillery, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, and Dedrick Asante-Muhammad delve into the profound impact of anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) legislation.   The panelists explore the widespread attack on DEI initiatives across various sectors, including higher education and corporate America.

They stress the importance of unity, solidarity, and demanding accountability from institutions and elected officials.   Tune in to gain insights into the ongoing struggle for social justice and discover actionable steps toward meaningful change in today's polarized landscape.       KEY POINTS:   - There is a concerted effort to undermine DEI initiatives in education and corporate sectors. - Legal challenges against DEI-focused agencies underscore the need for proactive counter-measures. - Political strategies aimed at suppressing racial justice movements are contextualized within broader agendas. - Misinformation shapes public perception of DEI initiatives, and the importance of countering false narratives. - The corporate response to anti-DEI efforts demonstrates the need for accountability and meaningful diversity initiatives. - Community organizing and activism is essential in challenging anti-DEI legislation and corporate practices. - Calls for collective action and consequences for institutions undermining DEI efforts underscore the urgency of sustained pressure and activism. - There is a critical need for unity and solidarity across communities in combating systemic racism and promoting equity. - There is a demand for justice with bold advocacy and media coverage. - Allies from privileged backgrounds are urged to stand up against attacks on DEI and advocate for truth and justice within their communities. - Actionable steps, including organizing and mobilizing against injustices, are essential for progress.   QUOTABLES:   “We have to start from a place of truth and realize those who are attacking DEI are not playing fairly, they're playing dirty. And I'm not saying you have to fight dirty with dirty, but open your eyes and bring a weapon to the fight.” -  Stephanie Ruhle   “His (Martin Luther King Jr.) high intelligence occasioned lethal opposition, because nothing is as dangerous as a Black person with a brain.” - Dr. Michael Eric Dyson   “One of the things we have to recognize is that this is not just an attack on a policy, it's an attack on a people, and that people would be us.” - Kimberlé Crenshaw   GUEST RESOURCES:    Leaders Call for Active Resistance Against Anti-DEI Measures | Diverse: Issues In Higher Education (diverseeducation.com) FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: X (formerly Twitter): http://twitter.com/diverseissues Instagram: http://instagram.com/diverseissuesinhighereducation Facebook: http://facebook.com/DiverseIssuesInHigherEducation/ LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/company/diverse-issues-in-higher-education   WATCH THIS VIDEO AND OTHERS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@DiverseIssuesInHigherEducation   Closed captioning and a live show transcription are available in the video for this episode.    In The Margins is produced by Diverse: Issues In Higher Education and edited by EPYC Media Network (visit at https://www.epyc.co/).

In a stand against efforts to bury Black history, leaders from the nation's major civil rights organizations have rallied behind the Freedom to Learn campaign. On the brink of the 60th anniversary of Freedom Summer and the 70th anniversary of the historic Brown v. Board of Education decision, these leaders are pushing back against a disturbing trend. Marc Morial of the National Urban League, Rev. Al Sharpton of the National Action Network, and other civil rights leaders, including NAACP CEO Derrick Johnson and Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights President and CEO Maya Wiley, have united. Their fight? The so-called Project 2025, a far-right initiative aiming to roll back civil rights protections and undermine democratic norms by promoting book bans, curriculum censorship, and attacks on Black and LGBTQ+ authors. These leaders argue that the current wave of attacks on educational freedom is part of a larger, well-funded effort by extremists to reshape American democracy. They emphasize the importance of including diverse histories and narratives in the educational system to reflect a more accurate and inclusive story of America. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/02/2024): 3:05pm- Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows determined that the U.S. Constitution bars Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump from appearing on the state's primary ballot—citing his involvement in riots outside the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021. In her 34-page decision, Secretary Bellows accuses Trump of engaging in insurrection and, consequently, determines he is ineligible to hold office under the Fourteenth Amendment. Interestingly, despite calls from the Lieutenant Governor to “explore every legal option” to remove Trump from the ballot, California Secretary of State Shirley Weber said the former president would remain on the state's primary ballot. 3:20pm- While appearing on CNN, David Axelrod—former Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama—said “I do think it would rip the county apart if [Trump] were prevented from running because tens-of-millions of people want to vote for him.” 3:25pm- A new USA Today/Suffolk University poll indicates that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump currently has greater support within the Hispanic American community than does President Joe Biden—39% to 34%. In 2020, Biden won that demographic by 33%—65% to 32%.

Mays of The New York Times write: “Hundreds of migrants bound for New York City took a detour in New Jersey over the holiday weekend, in an apparent attempt to bypass a city order that seeks to limit the chaotic flow of arrivals…The surge in New Jersey arrivals appears to be an end-run around an emergency executive order last week by New York City's mayor, Eric Adams, requiring charter bus companies to provide 32 hours' advance notice of the arrival of migrants and restricting the times of day when they can be dropped off.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/01/nyregion/ny-nj-migrants-buses.html 3:50pm- According to a Fox News report, migrants who have entered the United States illegally are currently lined up in New York City to receive taxpayer-funded housing. New York City, which previously declared itself a “sanctuary city,” guarantees free housing to migrants. 4:05pm- Claudine Gay has resigned as President of Harvard University—making her the shortest tenured president in the school's nearly 400-hundred-year history. Last month, Gay testified before the House Education and Workforce Committee. During one noteworthy exchange with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Gay refused to say calls for the genocide of Jews is speech that is violative of the school's code of conduct. Gay also faces dozens of credible plagiarism allegations. 4:15pm- In a recently surfaced video, former Director of the National Institutes of Health Dr. Francis Collins conceded that the federal government made mistakes with its public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He explains, “if you're a public health person…you attach zero value to whether this actually totally disrupts people's lives, ruins the economy.” In November of 2021, Dr. Collins, who is now serving as an advisor to President Joe Biden, infamously performed “Somewhere Past the Pandemic”—an original song to the tune of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Rich, Matt, and Henry will find any excuse to play it. 4:35pm- On Monday, Rich appeared on Fox News to preview the 2024 presidential election. The clip went viral on social media, but Matt didn't include it on today's cut sheet! 4:50pm- Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows determined that the U.S. Constitution bars Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump from appearing on the state's primary ballot—citing his involvement in riots outside the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

There's a new report from NBC News that President Joe Biden has told a confidant, the Rev. Al Sharpton, of all people, that he will run for reelection in 2024. It's not terribly well sourced, attributing the information to "an official of Sharpton's National Action Network" who told NBC what Sharpton had told him. In any event, the story said Biden told Sharpton as the two posed for pictures after a White House meeting with civil rights leaders on Sept. 2: "I'm going to do it again. I'm going."

Following the tragic attack in Buffalo by a white supremacist in May, ADL worked with leading advocacy organizations, such as the National Urban League and the National Action Network, to call on the White House to hold a summit on violent extremism and hate-fueled violence.

Looking back on 2021, it felt like maybe Black Americans got closer to knowing justice.In April, Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murdering George Floyd. And the day before Thanksgiving, three white men were found guilty of murdering Ahmaud Arbery.  But 2021 wasn't all about victories.  Last month, a jury in Wisconsin cleared Kyle Rittenhouse of multiple homicide charges after he shot and killed two people at a Black Lives Matter protest in 2020. Rittenhouse, who says he brought a semi-automatic rifle to the protest to “protect property,” successfully argued that he fired his weapon in self-defense. On this episode of Into America, Trymaine Lee is joined by two of today's most prominent civil rights leaders to explore whether Black people in this country can ever experience true justice. Reverend Al Sharpton, the founder of the National Action Network and host on MSNBC, says while there were setbacks, there was plenty to celebrate in 2021. “I think that we ought to mark those victories we get, so people will know we're not fighting alone.”Attorney Ben Crump, who represented both families of Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd this year, agrees. “We're continuously on this journey. We take sometimes some steps forward and then there are going to be steps back.” But the guilty verdicts this year, he says, "give us hope for America.”For a transcript, please visit https://www.msnbc.com/intoamerica. Thoughts?
