THIS YEAR WE STOPPED IT FROM

65
00:02:04,233 --> 00:02:10,366

00:02:58,766 --> 00:03:03,533
UNEMPLOYMENT IS THE ARTS.

NUMBER ONE WHERE THERE IS GROWTH

91
00:03:02,333 --> 00:03:08,266

IT SAID HEY WE CHANGED OUR MIND

103
00:03:24,866 --> 00:03:30,466

CHILDREN DESERVE IT.

134
00:04:27,966 --> 00:04:33,533
WE HAVE THOUGH ACRIMONY TO THE

AND WE WORKED AND DEVELOPED A

138
00:04:35,566 --> 00:04:43,900
WORLD CLASS PLAN, PEOPLE NEED TO

139
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:45,200
UNDERSTAND THE REASON WHY CPS

140
00:04:40,333 --> 00:04:46,533
DID NOT SUPPORT DYETT GLOBAL

141
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:48,166
LEADERSHIP AND GREEN TECHNOLOGY

142
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,900
HIGH SCHOOL IS NOT BECAUSE IT

143
00:04:46,533 --> 00:04:51,566
WASN'T A GREAT PLAN.

144
00:04:48,166 --> 00:04:53,800
WE GOT FROM THE HEAD OF THE

145
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:54,600
AMERICAN RESEARCH ASSOCIATION,

146
00:04:51,566 --> 00:04:56,800
ACADEMIC EXPERTS SAY IT IS A

147
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:59,133
STELLAR PLAN.

148
00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,800
IT'S POLITICS AND BEING BULLIED

149
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,966
BY THE LOCAL ALDERMAN, WILL

150
00:04:59,133 --> 00:05:03,133
BURNS, WHO SAID IN THE

151
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,133
"SUN-TIMES" THAT WE WERE TRYING

152
00:05:01,966 --> 00:05:08,333
TO BUILD AN EMPIRE.

153
00:05:03,133 --> 00:05:10,133
THIS IS NOT ABOUT THIS, THIS IS

154
00:05:06,133 --> 00:05:10,866
A BROAD BASED COALITION THAT

155
00:05:08,333 --> 00:05:13,166
PUTS US TOGETHER, THERE IS A WAY

156
00:05:10,133 --> 00:05:15,733
TO WORK THIS OUT.

157
00:05:10,866 --> 00:05:17,866
WE ARE WILLING TO TALK WITH CPS

158
00:05:13,166 --> 00:05:20,500
AND GAVE THEM A LIST OF DEMANDS

159
00:05:15,733 --> 00:05:23,100
BUT YOU KNOW WE ARE TIRED OF OUR

160
00:05:17,866 --> 00:05:24,133
CHILDREN BEING UNDERSERVED AND

161
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:25,800
BEING BLAMED FOR THE CHILDREN

162
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:27,900
BEING UNDERSERVED.

163
00:05:24,133 --> 00:05:29,433
>> YOU MET WITH SECRETARY OF

164
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,600
EDUCATION ARNIE DUNCAN AND RAHM

165
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:34,333
EMANUEL AND THERE WILL BE PEOPLE

166
00:05:29,433 --> 00:05:36,900
WATCHING THIS THAT MIGHT SAY, IT

167
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:38,833
IS MY WAY FOR THE HIGHWAY.

168
00:05:34,333 --> 00:05:40,866
>> WELL, OUR CHILDREN RIGHT NOW

169
00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:43,300
ARE STARVING OF AN EDUCATION, SO

170
00:05:38,833 --> 00:05:45,066
WE PLAN TO STARVE FOR THEM.

171
00:05:40,866 --> 00:05:47,900
WE WANT TO TAKE THAT FOR THEM

172
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:48,400
AND, THEIR CURRENTLY IN THE

173
00:05:45,066 --> 00:05:50,100
PROCESS OF JUST STARVING OF

174
00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:52,466
BASIC EDUCATION.

175
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:56,100
THEY ARE NOT GETTING.

176
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:56,733
AND WHILE PEOPLE MAY THINK THAT

177
00:05:52,466 --> 00:05:59,666
WE HAVE A GAINED A GREAT VICTORY

178
00:05:56,100 --> 00:06:01,966
WE HAVE NOT.

179
00:05:56,733 --> 00:06:03,500
THE ARTS THEME IS A PLAN THAT

180
00:05:59,666 --> 00:06:04,266
THEY PUT TOGETHER IN LESS AND

181
00:06:01,966 --> 00:06:05,566
WEEK, WE HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THAT

182
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:07,566
PLAN.

183
00:06:04,266 --> 00:06:07,966
AND THE PLAN...

184
00:06:05,566 --> 00:06:09,600
>> YOU HAVE NOT BEEN CON

185
00:06:07,566 --> 00:06:10,633
SUMMITTED?

186
00:06:07,966 --> 00:06:11,766
>> WE HAVEN'T HAD THE

187
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,266
OPPORTUNITY TO SIT DOWN AND

188
00:06:10,633 --> 00:06:15,933
SPEAK WITH THINK ONE.

189
00:06:11,766 --> 00:06:17,066
OUR PROBLEM IS YOU MAKE A PLAN

190
00:06:14,266 --> 00:06:18,333
FOR THE COMMUNITY WITHOUT THE

191
00:06:15,933 --> 00:06:19,000
COMMUNITY, IT IS REALLY NOT FOR

192
00:06:17,066 --> 00:06:20,800
THE COMMUNITY.

193
00:06:18,333 --> 00:06:22,966
OKAY?

194
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:25,200
>> SO WHAT WILL IT TAKE.

195
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,733
WHAT COULD HAPPEN TONIGHT, IF

196
00:06:22,966 --> 00:06:30,766
THE PHONE WERE TO RING, WHAT

197
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:31,533
WOULD YOU NEED TO HEAR THAT YOU

198
00:06:26,733 --> 00:06:33,133
COULD SAY OKAY?

199
00:06:30,766 --> 00:06:35,300
>> ABSOLUTELY.

200
00:06:31,533 --> 00:06:37,600
WE REACHED TOUT CHICAGO PUBLIC

201
00:06:33,133 --> 00:06:41,033
SCHOOLS REPEATEDLY.

202
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:42,466
>> FORREST CLAYPOOL?

203
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:44,500
HIM AND CEO JANICE JACKSON,

204
00:06:41,033 --> 00:06:46,600
CHIEF EDUCATION OFFICER WHO WE

205
00:06:42,466 --> 00:06:47,933
HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF FAITH IN

206
00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:49,766
AND BELIEF IN HER CAPACITY.

207
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:52,066
WE WANT TO SEE GREEN TECHNOLOGY

208
00:06:47,933 --> 00:06:56,000
IN THE CURRICULUM AND WE WANT TO

209
00:06:49,766 --> 00:06:57,733
HAVE IMPUT ON WHO THE PRINCIPAL

210
00:06:52,066 --> 00:06:59,000
IS AND AN ELECTED LOCAL SCHOOL

211
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,966
COUNCIL AND A PROMINENT POSITION

212
00:06:57,733 --> 00:07:02,300
ON THE DESIGN TEAM.

213
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,500
AGAIN, THE SCHOOL WOULDN'T BE

214
00:07:00,966 --> 00:07:06,933
OPEN IF IT WASN'T FOR PARENTS

215
00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:09,333
THAT VOWEDDED AND GOTTEN

216
00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:11,166
ARRESTED AND DONE ALL TYPES OFED

217
00:07:06,933 --> 00:07:12,800
A ADVOCACY AND ORGANIZING.

218
00:07:09,333 --> 00:07:13,466
AND WE HAVE A SET OF DEMANDS AND

219
00:07:11,166 --> 00:07:15,533
WE ARE WILLING TO TALK AND WORK

220
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,200
IT OUT.

221
00:07:13,466 --> 00:07:19,333
BUT SEE, CAROL, THERE HAS BEEN

222
00:07:15,533 --> 00:07:21,133
NO COMPROMISE.

223
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:22,700
COMPROMISE IS WHEN TWO PEOPLE

224
00:07:19,333 --> 00:07:24,633
SIT DOWN AND THEY STATE THEIR

225
00:07:21,133 --> 00:07:25,000
POSITIONS AND WORK SOMETHING OUT

226
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:26,833
THAT IS AMENABLE TO BOTH

227
00:07:24,633 --> 00:07:27,633
PARTIES.

228
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,366
THIS IS DICTATED TO US AND AS A

229
00:07:26,833 --> 00:07:31,100
MATTER OF FACT THE PEOPLE WHO

230
00:07:27,633 --> 00:07:32,266
STOOD ON STAGE WITH ALDERMAN

231
00:07:29,366 --> 00:07:33,833
WILL BURNS AND STATE

232
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:36,433
REPRESENTATIVE CHRISTIAN

233
00:07:32,266 --> 00:07:39,100
MITCHELL WERE SOME OF THE SAME

234
00:07:33,833 --> 00:07:41,366
PEOPLE THAT PAID DISINSTITUTE

235
00:07:36,433 --> 00:07:42,366
AFRICAN-AMERICAN $25 APIECE FOR

236
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:44,033
THE CLOSING OF DIE YET HIGH

237
00:07:41,366 --> 00:07:46,700
SCHOOL.

238
00:07:42,366 --> 00:07:50,433
>> ONE THING THEY SAY IS THE

239
00:07:44,033 --> 00:07:52,433
LAST GRADUATING CLASS ONLY HAD

240
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:54,533
13 KIDS AND SO DYETT WAS LOSING

241
00:07:50,433 --> 00:07:56,733
ENROLLMENT AND LOSING ITS HOLD

242
00:07:52,433 --> 00:07:57,733
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND AS A

243
00:07:54,533 --> 00:07:59,666
CONSEQUENCE IT NEED TO BE

244
00:07:56,733 --> 00:08:01,833
CLOSED.

245
00:07:57,733 --> 00:08:02,900
CPS WON'T SAY THE REASON THE

246
00:07:59,666 --> 00:08:04,633
THIRTEEN KIDS WERE THE ONLY ONES

247
00:08:01,833 --> 00:08:06,300
REMAINING.

248
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:07,766
BECAUSE THOSE KIDS WERE

249
00:08:04,633 --> 00:08:10,333
DETERMINED TO STAY THERE AND

250
00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:13,600
FINISH THEIR SENIOR YEAR.

251
00:08:07,766 --> 00:08:15,300
THEY LOVED DYETT HIGH SCHOOL.

252
00:08:10,333 --> 00:08:17,333
ALSO NOT INVESTING IN THAT

253
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,900
SCHOOL MADE PARENTS HAVE NO ON

254
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:19,433
THE CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE THE

255
00:08:17,333 --> 00:08:20,900
SCHOOL.

256
00:08:17,900 --> 00:08:22,933
IT CAME FROM NOT INVESTING IN

257
00:08:19,433 --> 00:08:24,900
THE SCHOOL THAT CAUSED THE

258
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:26,500
SCHOOL TO BE UNDERUTILIZED.

259
00:08:22,933 --> 00:08:27,866
IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE

260
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:29,433
CHILDREN, IT IS THE PEOPLE WHO

261
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:30,666
ARE SUPPOSED TO INVEST IN THAT

262
00:08:27,866 --> 00:08:33,233
SCHOOL AND PUT FUNDS INTO THE

263
00:08:29,433 --> 00:08:34,600
SCHOOL AND THEY DID NOT.

264
00:08:30,666 --> 00:08:36,166
>> THERE ARE CHARTERS IN AND

265
00:08:33,233 --> 00:08:38,033
RAIN DYETT.

266
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,833
>> YES MA'AM.

267
00:08:36,166 --> 00:08:42,400
WHY NOT SINCE YOU WANT A REAL

268
00:08:38,033 --> 00:08:43,666
VOICE IN THE CURRICULUM AND WANT

269
00:08:39,833 --> 00:08:45,066
A REALLY STRUCTURE THIS

270
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,600
YOURSELF, HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT

271
00:08:43,666 --> 00:08:48,233
CREATING ROAR OWN CHARTER WHERE

272
00:08:45,066 --> 00:08:50,866
YOU HAVE MORE LATITUDE IN THAT

273
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,333
DECISION?

274
00:08:48,233 --> 00:08:53,000
>> THAT IS AN EXCELLENT

275
00:08:50,866 --> 00:08:56,000
QUESTION.

276
00:08:51,333 --> 00:08:56,466
AND HERE'S WHAT I WOULD SAY.

277
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,400
WHY PUT BLACK CHILDREN, ALWAYS

278
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,666
PRIVATIZATION.

279
00:08:56,466 --> 00:09:00,833
FAMILIES IN LINCOLN MARK HAVE

280
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,466
WORLD CLASS NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS

281
00:08:59,666 --> 00:09:03,133
THAT THEY CAN WALK DOWN THE

282
00:09:00,833 --> 00:09:05,100
STREET AND SEND THEIR CHILDREN

283
00:09:02,466 --> 00:09:07,133
TO.

284
00:09:03,133 --> 00:09:07,833
WHY MUST WE SETTLE FOR LESS.

285
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:10,033
WE WANT A RETURN ON OUR TAX

286
00:09:07,133 --> 00:09:12,366
DOLLARS.

287
00:09:07,833 --> 00:09:15,566
WE HAVE AT THIS PLACE BECAUSE WE

288
00:09:10,033 --> 00:09:16,666
HAVE BEEN RENDERED VOICELESS.

289
00:09:12,366 --> 00:09:19,366
WE DON'T PAY TAXES TO BE

290
00:09:15,566 --> 00:09:21,500
DISENFRAN CHISED.

291
00:09:16,666 --> 00:09:23,333
IT IS NOT OUR JOB TO DEVELOP

292
00:09:19,366 --> 00:09:24,700
SCHOOL PROPOSALS, BUT WE ROLLED

293
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:27,900
UP OUR SLEEVES AND DEVELOPED A

294
00:09:23,333 --> 00:09:29,766
WORLD CLASS PROPOSAL.

295
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:31,100
SO WHAT WE ARE SAYING IS WE WANT

296
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:33,066
WHAT OTHER FOLKS GET, WITHOUT

297
00:09:29,766 --> 00:09:34,266
SWEATING FOR IT.

298
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:36,133
WE WANT WORLD CLASS NEIGHBORHOOD

299
00:09:33,066 --> 00:09:38,466
SCHOOLS THAT PEOPLE CAN WALK

300
00:09:34,266 --> 00:09:39,233
DOWN THE STREET.

301
00:09:36,133 --> 00:09:40,600
THERE IS NO SCHOOL CHOICE FOR

302
00:09:38,466 --> 00:09:42,000
AFRICAN-AMERICAN CHILDREN THAT

303
00:09:39,233 --> 00:09:43,166
IS A FARCE, BECAUSE WE DON'T

304
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,633
HAVE THE CHOICE OF A

305
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,200
NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL AND YOU SEE

306
00:09:43,166 --> 00:09:48,866
IT THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

307
00:09:44,633 --> 00:09:52,066
WHY SHOULD, WOULD PARENTS BE

308
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:54,133
DRIVEN TO THE POINT OF STARVING

309
00:09:48,866 --> 00:09:55,800
THEIR BODIES, THIS IS NOT A

310
00:09:52,066 --> 00:09:57,733
PUBLICITY STUNT AND WE WORKED ON

311
00:09:54,133 --> 00:10:00,000
THIS SINCE 2009 AND EVERY CORNER

312
00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:01,666
THAT WE ATTEMPTED TO WORK WITH

313
00:09:57,733 --> 00:10:04,766
CPS AND WE HAVE GIVEN THEM IDEAS

314
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:07,100
AND BROUGHT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE

315
00:10:01,666 --> 00:10:08,966
TO THE TABLE AND AT EACH STEP WE

316
00:10:04,766 --> 00:10:11,333
HAVE BEEN IGNOREED BE BE TRAYED

317
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:13,866
AND LIED TO.

318
00:10:08,966 --> 00:10:17,100
AND WHEN THEY CALL DYETT A

319
00:10:11,333 --> 00:10:18,266
FAILING SCHOOL THEY WON'T TELL

320
00:10:13,866 --> 00:10:20,166
YOU IN 2008 IT HAD THE LARGEST

321
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:22,866
PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS GOING TO

322
00:10:18,266 --> 00:10:24,733
COLLEGE IN THE CITY.

323
00:10:20,166 --> 00:10:25,600
AND THEY WENT SAY WE HAD A

324
00:10:22,866 --> 00:10:27,800
DECREASE OF ARRESTS AND

325
00:10:24,733 --> 00:10:29,833
DETENTIONS.

326
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,200
>> HOW ARE YOU DOING, I KNOW ONE

327
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,366
OF MY COLLEAGUES SAW YOU WALK IN

328
00:10:29,833 --> 00:10:35,000
AND THOUGHT YOU WERE WALKING

329
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,533
SLOWLY.

330
00:10:32,366 --> 00:10:38,766
PHYSICALLY, HOW DO YOU GO 31

331
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,400
DAYS WITHOUT EATING?

332
00:10:36,533 --> 00:10:40,266
>> I THINK BREAKS, THROUGHOUT

333
00:10:38,766 --> 00:10:44,100
THE DAY.

334
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:46,533
I REST.

335
00:10:40,266 --> 00:10:47,000
BUT I WALK SLOW BECAUSE I AM

336
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:49,633
DIZZY WHEN I WALK FAST IN MY

337
00:10:46,533 --> 00:10:50,066
REGULAR PACE.

338
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:55,133
AND I WALK SLOW BECAUSE I HAVE

339
00:10:49,633 --> 00:10:56,766
HEADACHES.

340
00:10:50,066 --> 00:10:57,133
AND I TRY TO KEEP MYSELF, WITH

341
00:10:55,133 --> 00:10:58,833
SMALL STEPS RATHER THAN LARGER

342
00:10:56,766 --> 00:10:59,533
ONES.

343
00:10:57,133 --> 00:11:02,600
>> YOU REALLY THINK IT IS WORTH

344
00:10:58,833 --> 00:11:04,900
IT?

345
00:10:59,533 --> 00:11:06,700
>> IT IS WORTH IT IF MY HEART IS

346
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:08,333
BROKEN, I MAY HAVE A POKER FACE

347
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:10,133
RIGHT NOW BUT MY CHILDREN HAVE

348
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:12,500
SUFFERED FROM THE AFTERMATH OF

349
00:11:08,333 --> 00:11:15,800
SCHOOL CLOSINGS AND REALLY THE

350
00:11:10,133 --> 00:11:16,600
LOVE, THE GLOBAL LEADERSHIP AND

351
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:19,800
GREEN TECHNOLOGY, WITH THE

352
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:22,800
OVERCROWDING OF THE SCHOOLS WITH

353
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:23,866
NO BOOKS IN THE SCHOOLS.

354
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:26,300
>> FIFTEEN SECONDS LEFT, HOW ARE

355
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:28,533
YOU?

356
00:11:23,866 --> 00:11:30,400
>> PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTED.

357
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:33,800
YOU KNOW, I THINK OUT OF

358
00:11:28,533 --> 00:11:36,933
EVERYONE I MAY BE ONE OF THE

359
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:39,800
STRONGER ONES, BUT DIZZY SPELLS,

360
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:43,600
AS ANNA SPOKE TO.

361
00:11:36,933 --> 00:11:44,833
BUT ALSO THIS EXPERIENCE HAS

362
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:45,166
TAUGHT ME ABOUT UNEQUAL

363
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,900
EDUCATION IN THE CITY OF

364
00:11:44,833 --> 00:11:48,300
CHICAGO.

365
00:11:45,166 --> 00:11:50,266
THE MAYOR.

366
00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:52,133
CITY CAN WATCH US STARVE AND NOT

367
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:53,766
HAVE MUST HAVE RESPECT TO BLACK

368
00:11:50,266 --> 00:11:54,200
VOICES TO TALK WITH US.

369
00:11:52,133 --> 00:11:56,033
WE WANT A RESPECTFUL

370
00:11:53,766 --> 00:11:58,533
CONVERSATION.

371
00:11:54,200 --> 00:12:00,133
>> HE ALREADY DID TALK TO YOU.

372
00:11:56,033 --> 00:12:01,200
HE TALKED AFTER BEING FORCED TO

373
00:11:58,533 --> 00:12:02,900
HAVE A CONVERSATION BUT IT

374
00:12:00,133 --> 00:12:05,166
WASN'T A NEGOTIATION.

375
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:07,733
WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HEAT WITH

376
00:12:02,900 --> 00:12:09,500
RAHM EMANUEL SINCE 2010.

377
00:12:05,166 --> 00:12:12,533
>> YOU REMAIN RUSS LUT FOR THE

378
00:12:07,733 --> 00:12:16,466
