brown sainthood club. i turned in my key to that a few years ago. but douglass supported brown when the plan was what brown had once called the subterranean passageway, which was supposed to be this series of forts somehow manned by lots of men. it was going to be a kind of militarized underground railroad. douglass was so desperate by the late 1850s, he was willing to keep supporting it, and he raised money for it. but when he found out brown was going to attack the largest federal arsenal, he said, no, i'm out of here. lincoln's reaction to john brown was a typical republican anti-slavery reaction. lincoln's reaction to john brown was to condemn the acts, which he did, and argue that john brown deserved to be hanged. at the same time, lincoln and many of the republicans would then still focus the story back onto the issue of slavery, and if we don't solve this problem, do something about this problem, we will have more violence and more john browns. that was the republican move, of course, that scared th

supervisor brown? >> supervisor brown: yes. i just want to address a few questions. with the 90 days, we had actually put on the first draft of the legislation 30 days, and then, we did have businesses reaching out to us, including amazon, saying 90 days would work. it was actually. i had -- supervisor fewer had a resident that went into a cafe in supervisor stefani's district, nanoosh, and he went in and wanted to pay with cash and they didn't accept cash. he said i can come back and pay, but he went into the small business commission and said i feel discriminated. when they went to nanoosh, they sent a letter apologizing, and within two days, they turned it around. they accept cash. so i feel when businesses want to do this and they realize they need to do this, it can be a fast turnaround, so that was an example that i saw a restaurant that came out and said we're sorry. we did not mean to discriminate. within two or three days, they're accepting cash. and as far as the question how this is going to work as far as, you know, enforcement, is the same as if you go i

thank you, supervisor brown for your amendment. supervisor ronen. >> commissioner: supervisor haney. >> thank you for bringing this forward. i think one of the things and i'm sure supervisor mar will respond to this but with respect to the amendment, why we would be required to send it back to committee and what the goal of that would be. it seems like there was a pretty robust conversation in committee on this legislation and this resolution. i think i get as all of us, i received a lot of communication about s.b.50. and this resolution and i take a particular position around it related to my role as the supervisor of the district that really has been building most of the housing for the city. and for me as the supervisor of that area and my constituents we want to see greater housing production across the city. one think i heard in the conversation is we in the board chamber are qualified and capable to figure out the best way to do that ourselves and one of the things that has concerned me about s.b.50 is we have a strong tradit

thank you supervisor brown and others. more than two decades ago, a group of people living vehicles coalesced in her were organized calling them selves a residential association. they designed a program, they didn't divide property, even got funding. the porch told the property, but all these years since, folks have been calling for a safe place to park. it is such a simple request, so simple, getting chased from block to block, terrorized by ticketing and harassment, fear of losing the very last thing they have that means so much, unlocked, a modicum of privacy, a place or belongings -- for belongings. we have a housing crisis. we need innovative responses. we need solutions for a variety of people. we can no longer have a system where we are pushing people out of their housing, chasing them out of cars, and then ripping away their tents once they're on the streets, we wholeheartedly support this legislation. why? does not say let's have a place for a few and then criminalize the rest, no, it says, let's start with a spac

brown. >> good morning. and thank you for allowing me to speak before you today. i have a short presentation. what i want to provide is an overview of what exempt appointments are under the charter and what the self service commission's role is in terms of overseeing those exempt appointments, very limited. since it's not a permanent civil service appointment. most of our rules that you see govern permanent civil service appointments, and that's what the civil service commission ma ma maintains. i'll give you more information what exempt is. and d.h.r. will have more information how it's used and some departments may have presentations how it's used in their departments and where it's a positive thing. so, we bring up the presentations. so, i am a product of san francisco. i was raised in san francisco so i have a long history with working with the city. i have been with the civil service commission since 2015. so i have some basic knowledge. i have some history. i have also researched some

brown, who is extraordinary. i would tend to agree there. this one -- the other one is also very hard because here we have christopher meika and randall sloan, both residents of s.r.o.s, one who is my constituent, and i just so deeply respect both of your expertise. the work that you do to advocate for your communities is absolutely extraordinary. and i could not commend you enough. and i wish that i could put you both on this body. and, you know, i would just say that i'm going to put a motion forward to move forward randall sloan to the position. again, because of just the community who came out to speak today and spoke of the impacts that you're having, mr. sloan, on your community and your building. that really impacted me. which is not to say mr. meika, that you're impact is any less extraordinary. it's just, how do you resolve an impossible situation? i don't know. so, again, just like we said with the immigrant rights commission before us, where i could have appointed any member, i feel the same way here. so i would encourage you to a

( clap ) >> i think i learned that my childhood was not traditional, when i saw other kids going

doom and gloom, but with a wry smile. >> i think so. >> brown: how do youe mix? >> i do think it's a hopeful record. i think it'seven though it's, a lot of the context is a bit of doom and gloom, i think it's always looking for alwaysth looking fokind of silver lining, you know. it's just, just the warmth, the capacityhat we all still have for warmth, even in the worst scenario. >> brown: and at a time when artists churn out new musiat breakneck speed, and celebrity can come-- and go-- quickly, hozier is determined to mo at his own pace. >> i think for me, i feel like a bit of a dinosr sometimes. sit down, sit down, with it-- with a guitar, and going away and writing music and then coming back and saying look what i've done. the challenge is to make sure that your-- that you have, hopefully, you have something that's worth saying. if people want to hear what people feel that is worth-- is worth saying, ten, 20 years, 30 years down the line and, you know, that's, that's really the challenge, is having a career and, growing with your music and having an audience at

but we moved there. >> brown: in the l.b.j. library in austin, caro did, as muchs humanly possible, what an earlier editor had told him: "turn every page"-- that is, look at evcument, even if it seems irrelevant. only years later does the writing begin. >> i write a lot of drafts by hand on this white legal pad, and write a lorafts on the typewriter. >> brown: an old smith corona. >> they stopped making that smith corona 25 years ago. >> brown: on the walls of his office: pages of the latt chapter he's working on for the fifth and final volume on johnson. >> this is, right now he's appointing thurgood marshall to the supreme court, so i'm writing a line where i'm going to say, 'thurgood maighall said it, you didn't wait for the times, mister president, you made the times.' >> brown: in an adjacem, just some of the hundreds of files of interviews, clippings and notes gathered over the years. and more i into how caro works. >> i take the interviews in a stenographer's notebook, and my rule is that i type it up every night before

supervisor brown >> supervisor brown: thank you. can you walk through of the basics of of this bill, what it does and what it does not do in its current form? perhaps what the points of discussion are at the state level? >> yes, i can. we went over a bigger presentation before the planning commission. i'm going to just do some of the quick highlights. in general, sb50 is similar to the one that we looked at last year. it's changed the way it would try to target the growth areas. instead of looking at the large citiecities that have transit, h is where the last bill focused. this one looks at areas that are jobs rich or that are opportunity zone. places where if children are born in these areas, they have a higher chance of success because there are good school,s, public services that help people do better. this year the bill is targeting those areas in addition to transit areas. it's important to note that the actual geographies have been some of them are legislated and some of them still influx. we know about some existing maps it

fometimes i say, a promise. >> brown: a promisthe future. >> a promise for the future. and you have to guide it to that future. >> brown: it became his lab for experimenting, as the landscape went through change after change, and his style, and what he calls his "palette," developed. he became a leader in what's nnknown as the "new pel" movement-- mixing the use of grasses and perennials to invoke a natural look. >> now, plants that like to be with each other, grow well together. >> brown: yeah, just like. peop >> it's just like people. you know, if one of the plants in the group was aggressive, that pushes all the other plants out. and that's why you need to know your plants-- otherwise, it goes plong right away. when i start on ting, plan a planting design, i have the idea, i have all the information. i have the tools. i have to make a list of plants that ty can use a palette. i create a palette before i start, so i have maybe 100 plants that they can use for that particular site. >> brown: his sketches look like works of art. this is a private garden he designed for

supervisor brown. >> commissioner brown: thank you. i want to thank everybody for coming today. i know there is different opinions, but we are san francisco. we do work together even when we disagree. i want to be clear. we are in a housing crisis? san francisco. how did we get here? if we want to plan for the future, then we really need to understand the past. we can't ignore history. if we look to history, we know that san francisco has not been equitable as we like to think. for the past 15 years, working class communities and communities of color and densities have born the burden of our economic boone. mass displacement and rapid gentrification impact folks of color and low income communities. these same communities have suffered over 150 years of system inequality in housing from red lining to predator relending to segregation. residents are excluded from opportunity reach areas with good jobs, accessible transit, high performing schools. this is all by design. thanks to tight local zoning and land use controls that limit density, we have historically segregated this city

supervisor brown? >> supervisor brown: thank you, chair mar. i have a question. because of a lot of the activity and police, what's been happening the last five or six months? they've been pushing a lot of the homeless into hayes valley, and i know the c.b.d. has been actually going into the alleys and trying to clean, but i'm just wondering, are you looking at putting stewards on that side or your day ambassadors because hayes valley doesn't know really -- they're overwhelmed, and i'm getting e-mails every day from the merchants because of the push here. not everyone, but a lot of the people are going over there. i think it would be really good to have your day ambassadors, your stewards, to go over there to really be around hayes valley, that area. >> absolutely. we've been paying attention to all of the neighborhoods impacted by the improvements made to u.n. plaza. the south of market has been feeling a lot of pressure as has hayes valley. we'll continue to meet with hayes valley merchants to ensure that we're continuing to hear their concerns and their concer

>> brown: call it the "rain face"-- a look of disgust, i the midst of a downpour. a itexpression of emotional life in animals as well as people, according to primatologist frans de waal. we all had our "rain faces" on during a recent wet visit to the yerkes national primate research center, part of emory university, outside atlanta, georgia, where de waal has worked for nearly three decades, and helped change the way we think about animals-- and humans. you don't buy the idea that we could say "disgust" is only a human emotion? >> no. i'm not sure that there are any "uniquely human" emotions. we may have a wider applicability of these emotions, and they may be more sophisticate but they are not fundamentally different. i haven't seen anything of a fundamental differce in the emotions. >> brown: de waal is renowned for his work on animal intelligence-- experiments that show the ability to use tools, plan, cooperate, and more. he's author of a dozen books, the last titled, "are we smart enough to know how smart animals are?" now, he's focused on their emotional life.

again the role of the world of brown. you don't want to transfer your enthusiasm to vice president humphrey. in your crossing the street in new york and you --dash my can you run into these two people. and one of the other guys. and they wanted me to work with the republican party. party. and get nixon elected. we talked about a long time. i agreed to go with it. then i got involved with reading more about the nixon background and where it came from. and then they have a crisis at one point mister humphries went to upstate new york. and they want to went to let them in. he have to get back on his plane and get out of there. mister next and was supposed to be there the next week. he was coming for a rally and a fund raiser. they asked me did i know anybody if humphrey got run out of town you know what's can happen. do you know anything about this. i go up there and i got to know the players and there were two brothers there. everybody was afraid of him. here's what i want to do. i gave my proposal. we work it out. mister n

oh, but john henry browne knew exactly how he'd respond. and it was a bombshell he had in store. >> we wanted to be the people who brought light into this case. >> reporter: you wanted to provide a little twist, a turn, a surprise? on a lot of evidence. and it was just kind of boring them. and so we wanted to be the people who brought light into this case. keith morrison: so, what was the light in this case, the secret twist? when "dateline" continues. where does your almondmilk almond breeze starts here with our almond trees in our blue diamond orchard in california. my parents' job is to look after them. and it's my job to test the product. the best almonds make the best almondmilk. blue diamond almond breeze. lwho treats yourselfa diyby treating your yard.ht. who goes against the grain, then with it. who never cuts corners, unless corners need to be cut. at lowe's, we do it right, too. with all the right plants for your region. and big savings on top lawn and garden brands. so, you stay a step ahead of spring all season long. xfinity wat

one other thing, when brown included businesses like amazon go, our good friends in the press like to put it out as a slam on amazon or slam on tech. supervisor brown attitude and she expressed this a few days ago when we met amazon who say they are not opposing this. we live in the tech capitals of the world. there's an opportunity here for the tech companies that surround

something charlotte brown's family have said they welcome. it wasn't until january that he turned himself in to georgian police after securing the right to appeal against his conviction. the trials, which will take place in great britain... in court here, jack shepherd described charlotte's death as his greatest regret. but he has since made clear that he doesn't believe he is solely responsible for the crash. his georgian lawyer told me that he fled before his trial because he was depressed, even suicidal. now he knows the fact that his case is in appeal court. if he will be running, he will be lose. he will be lose his case, his last chance to prove his innocence. but charlotte brown's family wanted jack shepherd to take responsibility for charlotte's death, saying his appeal will only prolong their pain and suffering. sarah rainsford, bbc news. the welsh government is making it easier for those living with conditions such as dementia and parkinson's disease to get discounts and rebates on their council tax bills. residents across the uk wi

supervisor brown reached out to me to put it on the radar. she actually shared with me a photo from when she was younger of what she just described today , and said, you know, this is a very different population of people, they don't actually believe that they are homeless, they're homeless in a very different way, and she said, we didn't believe that we are homeless. i think that is an important part of the conversation. we have engaged with jeff and his team and emily, and as she said, i want to praise again secure a, cathy, and monica for the hard work that they have done, as well as supervisor ronen's staff and others who have engaged with us over the last seven months. we believe we have a specific pilot program that i think is unique to san francisco. this is not just a drive up, park, you are good, and drive away, this is more about an in-depth assessment of where people are, an analysis of what they might need at that particular moment. some might just need some help fixing their vehicle and might not necessarily want me right away fr

that's the reason we need to ep the pressure on. >> brown: all right. the book is "brotopia: breaking up the boys' club of silicon valley." emily chang, thank you very much. >> thank you so much for ving me. >> brown: and let me thank all of my viewers who sent in questions. for may we're turning a very different kind of book, one about the man of many turns, that would be homer's odysseus and his epic "the odyssey," but this is told in a contemporary and personal mode of alassics professor, a son who invites his and learn together.n his class it's called "an odyssey" by daniel mepgd -- mend lson. as always we hope you'll read along d get insights from the author himself. it's all part of our ow read rkis" book club in partnership with "the new imes." >> woodruff: with that, that's the newshour for tonight. i'm judy woodruff.in join us onand again here tomorrow evening. for all of us at the pbs newshour, thank e u and we'll u soon. >> major funding for the pbs newsrour has been pvided by: >> babbel. a language program that teaches spanish, french, itali

i walked in and he said this is bob brown. he said he did some great work for me during the campaign and he's going to be one of my top assistants in the white house. now we haven't even had a conversation. [laughter] that's what he said. i loved him as a human being. she sent everybody out of the room so there's only the two of us in there and he says i just want to talk to you. i have a lot of things on my mind. and we talked about everything. this years with eisenhower, what happened there, what happened with what was going on in the country with black people and what he wanted to do and he said i want you to do all this. he said you know more about this than i do and you have total access. don't worry about it i know about not having access. >> you were skeptical though, weren't you coming or flattered of course, who wouldn't be at access is easier promised especially before you are inoculated then delivered, so you i think you say -- [inaudible] since he asked me and really wanted me to do it i thought i should do it for
