A DEEP DIVE AND VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS'S HISTORIC PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

NO COMMUNITY PROPER THE LATEST IN THE STATE'S INVESTIGATION INTO A MAN WHO DIED IN THE STATE PRISON.

AND MEET THE FOUNDER OF A RUN CLUB.

WHOSE MESSAGE IS TO RUN YOUR WAY?

EVEN IF IT'S SLOW, A ESTE.

AND HIGHLIGHTING THE HISTORY OF LEAGUE BASEBALL IN A NEW EXHIBIT, WE KICK THINGS OFF RIGHT AFTER THIS.

CHICAGO TONIGHT, BLACK VOICES HE'S MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY THE SUPPORT OF THESE DONORS.

WITH BLACK WOMEN HAVING A HISTORY OF PLAYING A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN ELECTIONS.

ORGANIZERS AND VOTERS HAVE ALREADY STARTED RALLYING BEHIND KAMALA HARRIS'S CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT.

MORE THAN 40,000 BLACK WOMEN JOINED A ZOOM CALL WITH ANOTHER 50,000 STREAMING ON OTHER PLATFORMS THIS PAST SUNDAY TO EXPRESS THEIR SUPPORT.

SPECTATORS ANTICIPATE THIS NUMBER GROW AS THE ELECTION MOVES FORWARD.

JOINING US NOW WITH MORE OUR FELICIA DAVIS, BLAKELY, THE CEO OF PRIMO CENTER, NICOLE ROBINSON, THE CEO OF YWCA METROPOLITAN CHICAGO AND SANTANA JACKSON, THE HOST OF THE SANTEE TO JACKSON SHOW.

I FEEL LIKE WE'RE INFORMATION.

LADIES, WELCOME.

THANKS FOR JOINING LET'S START WITH YOU, PLEASE.

WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS WHEN YOU HEARD THE VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS WAS RUNNING TO BECOME PRESIDENT HEARS I TO IMMEDIATE REACTIONS.

I WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY EXCITED AT THE OPPORTUNITY TO ELECT A WOMAN AS THE LEADER OF THE UNITED STATES.

BUT I ALSO HAD A LITTLE BIT OF TREPIDATION BECAUSE OF THE HISTORY OF OF PRESIDENT'S TRUMP'S CAMPAIGNS AND THE MASSAGE OR AND JUST BLATANT RACISM.

AND I THOUGHT, OH, MY GOSH, WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH GAUNTLET AND THE SHORT TIME WITH THE AMOUNT OF OF OF ANIMUS.

THEY'RE GOING TO THROW VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS'S CAMPAIGN.

DO YOU FEEL THAT SHE HAS THE FULL SUPPORT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BEHIND HER?

IF IF IF IF SHE DIDN'T SUNDAY?

I HOPE SHE DOES NOW AND I REALLY REALLY FEEL THAT THIS IS OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PARTY TO BE UNIFIED, TAKING A VACATION GOING ON OTHER PLACES, BUT REALLY TALK ABOUT BECAUSE AS A BLACK WOMAN WHO, YOU KNOW, PROFESSIONAL AND THE WORKFORCE.

I'VE NEVER FELT FULLY SUPPORTED AT ANY POINT IN MY CAREER.

THIS IS THE MOMENT THAT WE NEED EVERYONE TO FULLY SUPPORT HER CANDIDACY.

REALLY, AND TO BE ABLE TO SEE HER BE VICTORIOUS.

IT'S TO CONSEQUENTIAL.

NICOLE, OBVIOUSLY HISTORICAL MOMENT FOR VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS FOR THE COUNTRY.

HOW DO YOU THINK HER ENTRANCE INTO THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE WILL IMPACT VOTERS AND A LOT OF REALLY POSITIVE WAYS.

I'M ACTUALLY SITTING IN OPTIMISM STILL RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GALVANIZED A SEGMENT OF VOTERS WHO HAVE BEEN LOOKING AWAY.

THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION.

THEY WERE ENGAGED.

AND NOW I THINK THAT'S A YOUNGER SEGMENT OF VOTERS IN GATE.

THERE WAS A POLL THAT CAME OUT.

24 TO 48 HOURS AFTER COUNCIL'S ANNOUNCEMENT AND THERE'S A 5% CHOP AND VOTERS 18 TO 35 WHO ARE INTERESTED IN THE ELECTION AND THEN THE COALS FOCUS GROUP OF IN TURN THEY ARE INTERESTED.

I ACTUALLY TOOK A FEW TO LAUNCH YESTERDAY AND ASKED THEM FOR THEY WERE REGISTERED TO VOTE AND THEY WERE EXCITED ABOUT TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUES.

THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY HAVING KAMALA IN THE RACE, NO MATTER IF YOU'RE A DEMOCRAT, REPUBLICAN, LIBERTARIAN, WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE THAT HOME OF THE RACE CHANGE.

SO WE SHOULD GO FROM TALKING ABOUT HOW OLD PEOPLE ARE.

BUT ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT IS CHILDCARE AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE IS THEIR PAY EQUITY?

DO WE HAVE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS FOR FAMILIES.

CAUSE KIDS ARE HANGING ON A STRING FROM 5 TO 85.

WE'RE NOT PAST WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PANDEMIC.

SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT.

LET'S GET TO THE ISSUES THAT WOMEN AND FAMILIES CARE ABOUT WAS ALSO THE CHANCE THAT AGE GETS REVERSED, RIGHT?

KIND OF FLIPS IT TO WHERE, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PRESIDENT LOOKING BUT BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN'S AGE.

BUT NOW I FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FEW YEARS YOUNGER THAN DAN PRESIDENT BIDEN, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS THE DEMOCRATS USE THAT AGE.

HIS AGE AGAINST IT WAS ALWAYS I MEAN, THE FACT IS WE WERE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT HEALTH.

AND SO THAT'S OFF THE TABLE.

CERTAINLY MY PRAYERS GO TO THAT FAMILY BECAUSE IT'S IT'S A STRUGGLE HE'S GIVEN 50 YEARS OF HIS LIFE TO PUBLIC SERVICE.

BUT THIS IS A WONDERFUL MOMENT.

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT SHIRLEY CHISHOLM AND FANNIE LOU HAMER AND AMELIA BOYNTON, SO MANY PEOPLE SAYING.

AND SO WE NEED GREAT GRANDMOTHER, COULDN'T READ OR WRITE WHAT SHE'D BE SAYING.

BUT I'M ALSO MINDFUL ALL OF US ARE HAVING THIS DISCUSSION TO WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE HEARING AT THE TABLE.

YOU KNOW, INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVEMENT CANNOT TRUMP.

COLLECTIVE.

ADVANCEMENT.

BLACK WOMEN MAKE $0.69 ON THE DOLLAR.

WE JUST FINISHED BLACK YOU CAN PAY DAY 7 MONTHS.

IT TAKES EXTRA TO MAKE WHAT A WHITE MAN OF SIMILAR SKILLS CREDENTIALS MAKES.

IT IS A GREAT MOMENT.

AT THE SAME TIME.

I THINK WE NEED TO BE ENGAGED ABOUT WHAT WE NEED COLLECTIVELY BECAUSE, YOU WE WE CAN'T HAVE ME MAKE IT AND WE FALL BEHIND.

AND SO I THINK THAT THAT'S A CONVERSATION THAT I'M ALSO HEARING ON MY RADIO SHOW.

BUT IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE LOCKED UP AND YOU CAN HEAR THAT YOU'RE GOING TO THE GOP ATTACKER AS A PROSECUTOR, EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS DOING JOB BUT I THINK SHE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A DO-OVER AND SAY, LOOK, THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE DONE BETTER.

BUT THIS IS WHERE THE SYSTEM IS.

AND SO WE CAN MAKE SOME CHANGES AND I THINK WE CAN HELP.

WE'RE GOING TO HELP HER TO DO THAT.

HELP OR HELP US.

AND YOU ACTUALLY YOU ACTUALLY KNOW HER.

HOW DO YOU THINK HOWARD UNIVERSITY WRONGS HER AFTER THE BUT, YOU KNOW, HOW DO YOU THINK SHE WILL BE ANYTHING SHE CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT TODAY IN 2024?

HOW DO YOU THINK SHE WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THE CANDIDATE FOR WHEN SHE RAN BEFORE ACCEPT THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION?

HOW IS THIS COUPLE HERE IS DIFFERENT FROM THAT ONE FOR NEEDS.

SHE'S BEEN SEASONED BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, SHE HAD A TOUGH TIME COMING UP, THE GATE IN 2019 2020.

IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT GAME.

SHE'S A DIFFERENT PERSON.

ANYONE WHO SAYS IF YOU GO THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THIS YOU HAVEN'T CHANGE, NO, NO, NO, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE BECAUSE SHE IS NEXT TO THE PERSON HAD THE NUCLEAR CODES.

SO THERE ARE THINGS THAT SHE KNOWS NOW I FROM I KNOW FROM WITH HER AND WITH HER STAFF SHE KEEPS HER FINGERS ON THE PULSE OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY, WHICH IS WHAT SHE KNOWS.

SHE HAS TO DO.

YOU'VE GOT TO BLACK PEOPLE LEFT OVER INDEX IN TERMS OF VOTE IN ORDER FOR BLACK CANDIDATES WHO CROSSOVER EVENT TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT.

SHE ALSO UNDERSTANDS THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE.

SHE'S WORKED AT EVERY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT.

AND I AM JUST.

I JUST LIKE TO BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS MOMENT.

FULLY SHOULD.

SO I READ ARTICLE OVER THE WEEKEND SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT SO MANY DEMOCRATIC ELECTED OFFICIALS IMMEDIATELY, GAVIN GALVANIZE AROUND HER TO THE POINT WHERE SHE PRETTY MUCH HAS THE DELEGATES THAT SHE NEEDS TO DO TO WIN THE NOMINATION, THAT THAT ACTUALLY DID HEARD A SERVICE THAT IT LOOKS A LITTLE BIT LIKE A BACKROOM DEAL IT DIDN'T.

IT ALSO DIDN'T PUT HER THROUGH THE PACES THAT A PRIMARY WOULD PUT HER THROUGH THAT SHARPENS CANDIDATE GOING INTO THE GENERAL ELECTION.

WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, I I THINK THE LEADERS WERE RIGHT TO SUPPORT OR IMMEDIATELY.

I THINK IN THE WEEKS FOLLOWING THE DEBATE PERFORMANCE OF PRESIDENT BIDEN THERE WAS A LOT AND AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

THERE WAS A LOT OF CHATTER AROUND FIT AND IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF THIS DIVISIVE.

AND SO I THINK IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT.

THIS IS NOT A CORONATION.

SHE'S BEEN PUT THROUGH THE PACES ALL OF THE ELECTED OFFICE SAYS SHE'S HAD BEFORE AS A PROSECUTOR AS VICE PRESIDENT FOR THIS, YOU KNOW, FRONT DURING THIS TERM.

SO I IT'S THAT METAL.

I MEAN, RIGHT?

I THINK SHE'S PROVING HER METTLE.

AND IN THAT INSTANCE, NICOLE, WE'VE GOT ABOUT 45 SECONDS LEFT.

YOU KNOW, OVER THE YEARS WE'VE SEEN THE SIGNIFICANCE OF BLACK WOMEN WHEN IT COMES TO THE ELECTIONS.

TWENTY-TWENTY 93% OF BLACK WOMEN VOTED FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN.

WHAT ROLE THE BLACK WOMEN PLAY THIS TIME WHEN ONE OF US IS AT THE TOP OF THE TICKET?

WELL, SOME PEOPLE SAY WE SAY THE COUNTRY THE LAST ELECTION THAT IS A LITTLE BIT OF TRUTH TO THAT.

BUT I THINK THAT THERE ARE SO MANY BLACK WOMEN IN OUR COMMUNITY WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE YWCA, THEY'RE ORGANIZERS THERE BLOCK THEIR IN THEIR SCHOOL PARENT COUNCIL.

AND THESE ARE THE SAME WOMEN WHO WANT TO TALK ABOUT ISSUES THAT CHILD CARE, THE HEALTH CARE, AH, ABORTION, REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE AND HEALTH CARE.

THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT ALL THOSE THINGS AND NOW THEY'RE GOING TO BE EXCITED AND THEY'RE GOING TO MOBILIZE.

AND I THINK IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY CANDIDATE TO STEP UP.

AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT JUST REALLY BRING THOSE ISSUES TO THE FOREFRONT.

AND WANT TO BE AT THAT TABLE WAS LIKE WE'VE GOT A FEW MORE MONTHS.

TALK ABOUT THIS.

ALL HAVE ALL THE BACK JACKSON.

NICOLE ROBINSON, FELICIA DAVIS WEEKLY, THANKS ON EVERYBODY.

THANK FOR US.

UP NEXT, RENEW CALLS OF JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL BROADWAY AND ADVOCATES ARE SAYING CONDITIONS AT STATE BILL CORRECTIONAL CENTER WHERE A MAN IN CUSTODY DIED LAST MONTH HAVE NOT IMPROVED.

WE REPORTED ON 51 YEAR-OLD MICHAEL BROADWAY'S DEATH BACK IN JUNE WHEN THE HEAT INDEX IN NEARBY JOLIET REACHED NEARLY 100 DEGREES.

BROADWAY WHO WAS BEING TREATED FOR ASTHMA BEGAN STRUGGLING TO BREATHE MEN IN NEARBY CELLS BEGAN CALLING FOR HELP.

ONE OF THE MEN INCARCERATED THERE WHO FIRST ALERTED US TO BROADWAY'S DEATH SAYS CONDITIONS ARE NO BETTER TODAY IN AN E-MAIL HE SENT TO US THROUGH HIS ATTORNEY ABDUL MALIK MUHAMMAD SAYS, QUOTE, THE TOP WINDOWS ARE STILL NAILED SHUT.

THE INDUSTRIAL FANS THROUGHOUT THE HOUSING UNIT ARE STILL BROKEN AND THE FACILITY ATTEMPTS TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.

HE GOES ON TO SAY THE INDUSTRIAL FAN THAT IS OUTSIDE OF BROADWAY'S ASSIGNED CELL WAS BROKEN VAN AND IS STILL BROKEN.

NOW, THE ONLY A 10 STATE BILL HAS MADE IS TO LOCATE VERY OLD FLOOR FANS AND FACE THEM UPWARDS FROM THE BOTTOM GALLERY WITH HIGH HOPES THAT WILL CIRCULATE THE AIR ON THE TOP GALLERIES, WHICH THEY HAVE FAILED TO DO.

WE'VE ALSO LEARNED MORE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE DAYS AFTER BROADWAY'S DEATH AS ADVOCATES TODAY HAVE A MESSAGE FOR GOVERNOR JB PRITZKER.

JIMMY SOTO WAS ONE OF 15 MEN INCARCERATED AT STATE BILL WHO GRADUATED FROM THE NORTHWESTERN PRISON EDUCATION PROGRAM WITH MICHAEL BROADWAY LAST FALL.

HE AND OTHERS ARE CALLING FOR THE IMMEDIATE CLOSURE OF THE FACILITY RATHER THAN THE PLANNED REBUILD STATE BILL IS WELL OVER 100 YEARS OLD.

INDEPENDENT ENGINEERING REPORT SAID THAT PLACES LIKE STATE BILL.

PONTIAC, LOGAN.

DANVILLE AND OTHER FACILITIES ARE UNFIT FOR HUMAN BEINGS TO BE HOUSED HIM.

AN ATTORNEY REPRESENTING BROADWAY'S FAMILY SAYS THEY INTEND TO FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS.

I DOT FAILED.

MISTER BROADWAY.

EVERY TURN.

WHEN MICHAEL COMPLAINED THAT HE COULDN'T BREATHE AND RATHER THAN CALL A CODE 3, WHICH WOULD INITIATE AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE, THEY CONTINUE GOING ABOUT THEIR NURSE DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES.

BY THE TIME THE NURSE ACTUALLY ARRIVED.

MICHAEL WAS ALREADY NON-RESPONSIVE.

TARA CONNER'S LAW FIRM RETRIEVED DOCUMENTS FROM SEE SHOWING THAT THE OFFICERS WHO DID ARRIVE.

WE'RE AWARDED COMMENDATIONS BY THE STATE.

THE WARDEN IT RECOGNIZES 5 CORRECTIONS OFFICERS FOR PLAYING QUOTE, A CRUCIAL ROLE IN THE SEAMLESS EXECUTION OF THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN AND BECAUSE THEY, QUOTE, EXPERTLY FACILITATED THE TRANSPORT OF THE INDIVIDUAL DOWN MULTIPLE FLIGHTS OF TREACHEROUS TEARS TO REACH THE WAITING STRETCHER.

THE PROBLEM THERE IS THAT THERE ARE TREACHEROUS STAIRS AND THEY HAD TO CARRY HIM DOWN FROM THE 4TH FLOOR.

THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY WENT UP ON THAT 9 GALLERY IN THESE CONDITIONS.

IT'S EXTREMELY HOT.

THE WINDOWS ARE STILL NAILED SHUT EVEN AFTER MISTER BROADWAY'S THE FANS EITHER DON'T WORK WHERE THEY REFUSED TO TURN THEM ON.

ADDITIONALLY, THE IOC MEDICAL DIRECTOR RELEASED A MEMO WARNING STAFF TO BE AWARE OF SYMPTOMS OF HEAT RELATED ILLNESSES DATED JUNE 20TH THE DAY AFTER BROADWAY'S DEATH.

I CAN ONLY ASSUME WHAT WE ARE ALL THINKING RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS THAT THE HEAT WAS THE CAUSE OF HIS HE SUFFOCATED TO DEATH IN A STATEMENT SHARED THIS AFTERNOON, A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS SIMPLY SAYS THEY'RE STILL ACTIVELY INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER.

THE FAMILY'S ATTORNEY SAYS AN AUTOPSY HAS BEEN ORDERED HAS NOT YET BEEN RELEASED.

AND FOR MORE ON THE HEAT RELATED RISKS FACING THE INCARCERATED POP-UP POPULATION IN PARTICULAR, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE.

UP NEXT, HEAR WHY YOU SHOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE RUNNING AT ANY SPEED.

IN A CONVERSATION REPORTED EARLIER.

CHANCES ARE YOU'VE ALREADY SPOTTED SEVERAL OF THESE TODAY.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING YOU OFTEN TOLD THE STORY OF HOW YOU GOT STARTED WITH RUNNING.

DOCTOR TOLD YOU THAT YOU NEEDED TO LOSE WEIGHT OR YOU WOULD DIE.

YOU RESPONDED WITH I'M GOING TO RUN A MARATHON.

HE LAUGHED WIRE RUNNING.

WHAT?

HOW DID IT HAVE YOU CONSIDERED RUNNING BEFORE THAT?

ABSOLUTELY SO I WAS BEING FACETIOUS WHEN I'M TOLD IS DOCTOR, I WAS GOING TO RUN AMERICA BECAUSE HE WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED TO START WALKING ON THE TRACK AND THINGS OF THAT SORT.

I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE SO, YOU KNOW, I FELT LIKE I WANT TO RUN A MARATHON.

HE LEFT THAT WE AND I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, I GOT APPROVAL WORLD.

SO THAT'S GOING TO DID YOU PULL MARATHON OUT OF THE AIR LIKE VERSUS, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD HAVE STARTED SWIMMING OR BUT IT WAS MARATHON.

YEAH, IT CAME OUT YOU KNOW, WHEN SOMEBODY IS GOING AFFECT YOU, TRY THINK ABOUT ANYTHING TO I'M NOT PUT HANDS ON THEM.

SO I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, YOU KNOW, THE BEST THING I CAN SAY IS, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO RUN AMERICA.

RUN 8 OF THEM SINCE HE SAID THOSE IT WAS DURING ONE OF THOSE RACES, THOUGH SOMEONE YELLED SOMETHING UNKIND BUT YOU ARE INSPIRED BY IT.

AND BY THOSE WORDS, WHAT ARE AND THEN WHAT WENT THROUGH YOUR MIND?

SO I WAS RUNNING NEW YORK CITY MARATHON AND OTHERS GUYS TOLD ME, HEY, BUDDY, YOU'RE I WILL SAY THE BIKES A YEAR SLOWING HE TOLD ALL.

SO IMAGINE BEING 15 MILES INTO YOUR MARATHON.

YOU'RE ALREADY SOMEWHAT DELUSIONAL.

I ARGUMENT WITH THIS GUY AND WANT TO FINISH THE RACE.

I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M GOING IN SOME SOMETHING TO PROVE WRONG AS WELL AND TRY TO SLOW YOU UP FRONT ABOUT WAS THIS A FELLOW RUNNER WHO SAID THIS TO YOU?

BRAND IS I DON'T KNOW.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

I DON'T KNOW.

TOO, WAS ON THE SIDE, COURSE, WITH A BEER IN HAND.

SO NOT LIKE WE'RE RUNNER WITH BEER.

NOT RUNNING IN THE RACE WITH YOU, THOUGH, IS ACTUALLY NOT RUN THE RACE WITH OKAY.

SINCE STARTING THIS LAWYER FROM CLUB.

AND OF COURSE, WRITTEN YOUR BOOK WITH YOU BROUGHT BROUGHT TO SHOW US YOUR STORIES, OF COURSE, BEEN WIDELY SHARED.

YOU HAVE YOU'VE BEEN A COVER STORY FOR RUNNERS, WORLD MAGAZINE, A NUDE PHOTO SHOOT WITH MEN'S HEALTH MAGAZINE.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU TO HAVE YOUR STORY AND YOUR IMAGE, YOU KNOW, SHARE ON THESE PLATFORMS IN ASSOCIATED WITH THE SPORT, I THINK FOR THIS IS A DEFINITELY A BIG MOVE BECAUSE WHEN I STARTED RUNNING 10 YEARS AGO, THERE WAS THAT THE OUT THERE THAT LOOK LIKE ME?

SO NOW THAT I'M OUT HERE AND BE ABLE TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT THEY CAN BE ACTIVE IN THE BODY THAT THEY ARE RIGHT NOW.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CHANGING BODY IS REALLY IS THIS SO MUCH FOR ME TO JUST BE THAT BEACON OF HOPE FOR PEOPLE OUT THERE.

WHAT WHAT IS IT THAT YOU GET OUT OF OUT OF RUNNING BESIDES, YOU KNOW, GIVING TO THE MEMBERS OF YOUR CLUB AND GIVING TO OTHERS.

WHAT DO YOU GET OUT OF IT?

SO WANT TAKE MY LIFE RUNNING.

GAVE ME LIFE RUNNING.

GAVE ME SOMETHING WHERE I DIDN'T NECESSARILY.

THINK I WAS GOING TO BE HERE ON THIS ARE RUNNING HAS GIVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD.

ONE HAS GIVEN OPPORTUNITY TO TEST, WHICH ALSO RUNNING HAS GIVEN ME EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING.

OKAY.

YEAH.

HAHA ALSO RUNNING HAS ALSO BEEN SORT OF A MOSTLY WHITE DOMINATED SPORT, RIGHT, DESPITE, YOU KNOW, SOME VERY FAMOUS BLACK PEOPLE WHO WE CAN ALL NAME WHO ARE CARRY RICHARDSON.

ALLYSON FELIX HUSSEIN BOLT.

THEY'RE ALL, YOU KNOW, OLYMPIANS, BUT THERE, FASTER RUNNER, SHORTER DISTANCES IN TRACK AND FIELD.

WHY DO YOU THINK MORE BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T INTO RUNNING AND ESPECIALLY LONG DISTANCE I THINK THAT'S A GREAT NOTION.

IS THAT IT REALLY COMES BACK TO DIVERSITY.

I KNOW GROWING UP AS A LITTLE MORNING DETROIT, NOBODY THAT I EVER RAN LONG DISTANCE.

EVERYTHING WAS CRACKED 100 METERS HURDLES.

THINGS OF THAT SORT.

I'M EVEN KNOW WHAT LONG DISTANCE RUNNING WAS LIGHTNING GOT INTO THIS THING.

SO I THINK IS ONE IS AWARENESS.

LANE BUT ALSO PINGED BACK.

IT GOES DEEPER THAN THAT, RIGHT?

IT GOES DEEPER.

2, HOW?

IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS WE JUST DON'T.

WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT.

BUT ENCOURAGE WANT TO DO YEAH, IT'S A MATTER OF OF OF ENCOURAGE DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE AN IMPACT ON THAT ON GETTING MORE BLACK PEOPLE INTO THE SPORT?

HOPE THE SAME.

SO I'D HAVE.

YEAH.

LIKE YOU KNOW, IF YOUR TRAVELS LIKE KEVIN, WHAT IF YOU NOTICE AND PEOPLE THAT YOU SEE IN THAT YOU GET TO MEET?

OH, YEAH.

I THINK THAT WAY.

YOU THINK ABOUT ME TRAVELING.

I'VE BEEN ON TABLE TO OUR SAYING VARIOUS GROUPS AND THERE IS ONE WHO HAVE POPPED UP IN MAJORITY.

PEOPLE OF COLOR.

SO I THINK A BALL HERE CHICAGO SET UP THE PEACE RUNNERS ALSO THINK ABOUT THAT ARE TOO GOOD TO SEE.

YOU AND WE THINK ABOUT DETROIT, YOU THINK ABOUT WE WANT EVERYONE 3.

SO THERE ARE DEFINITELY VARIOUS BLACK MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE ALSO STARTING ARRIVE.

AND I THINK THESE NEIGHBORHOOD CLUBS, THE CREWS CALLED IN ARMY IS GREAT FOR THE COMMUNITY TO GET MORE OF A LITTLE BLACK FOLK OUT THERE.

SOME PEOPLE GET INTO RUNNING AS A MATTER OF WEIGHT LOSS WEIGHT MANAGEMENT.

AND YOU'VE SAID IT'S NEVER BEEN ABOUT.

WE LOST FOR YOU YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE WHEN YOU'RE OUT RUNNING?

YOU KNOW, WHAT IS WHAT IS IT?

WHAT DOES IT DO FOR YOU?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU?

WHAT ARE WHY A MARATHON?

HAHA ALWAYS JOKE THAT A MARATHON.

YOU RUN.

26.2 MILES TO FINISH ABOUT 3 BLOCKS FROM WHERE YOU STARTED.

DIDN'T GET VERY I DIDN'T WANT THINGS.

I THINK FIRST SOURCES, THE SATISFACTION OF PEOPLE, IT'S SOMETHING ABOUT SHOWING UP TO THE FINISH LINE AND SOME MIGHT LOOK AT ME.

LOOK AT MY SIDE.

JUST LIKE, OH, YOUR FIRST-TIMERS.

LIKE NOPE.

THIS IS A NUMBER 9 NUMBER THE OTHER THING IS THAT.

THE PASS THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO FORM AND WRITE, YOU CAN'T BE YES, AMERICA.

YOU KNOW, THE GUY WHO STARTED HULA WAR AND THE FIRST MARATHON RIGHT.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF HARD WORK AND DEDICATION TO GO WITH THAT.

AND I THINK THAT MINDSET THAT GOES ALONG WITH THE REPUTATION, THE REPETITION AND TRAINING OF MARATHON TRAINING MAKES ME A BETTER PERSON.

YOUR BOOK IS IT'S PART MEMOIR, PART GUIDE FOR RUNNERS.

WHAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WISH THAT YOU KNEW WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED OUT?

SO FROM A STORE?

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WISH I WANT TO KNOW WHEN I FIRST STARTED OFF, THIS IS PRODUCT CALLED BODY THING RIGHT DOWN.

PUT IT DOWN BY YOU PUT IT ALL.

YOU MOVING PARTS ALL YOUR BITS BYTES THAT MOVING ROAD TOGETHER.

IT WILL PREVENT WHAT I CALL THAT CHANGED LAST YEAR.

SO YOU GO OUT THERE YOU WANT AND YOU THINK TOM GOOD AND YOU DON'T TAKE A HOT SHOWER.

YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'VE BEEN CUT IT'S ALWAYS SOMEBODY TOLD ME ABOUT GOT A LONG TIME AGO.

DO YOU FIND YOURSELF DISPELLING ANY METS, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE NAME OF THE CLUB, SLOW A F TRAIN, IT KIND OF LIKE MEAN, EVEN FROM ME AND INSPIRATION.

IS OK TO BE SLOW?

IT IS OKAY TO BE AT THE BACK OF THE YEAH.

SO WE MAYBE SOME DAY.

MOST RACES ARE PERMITTED AT PARADE.

LET THAT SINK SO THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A RACE PERMIT.

THERE'S ONLY A PARADE PARADE PERMIT.

SO ONCE YOU GET THE LE ACTUALLY SAW THE WAY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY COMPETING FOR MONEY, ALL OF US ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE PARADE.

SO THERE'S THE LAST TIME I CHECKED.

I REMEMBER SEEING A SANTA CLAUS FLOW TRY TO BEAT OUT OF ME.

HE MUST FLOW IN THE BRAIN LIKE EVERYBODY'S DOING THEIR THING AND ENJOYING THE JOURNEY ALONG TO THE FINISH LINE.

AND THAT'S THE RUNNING RACES.

SOUNDS TO ME LIKE AN EXCUSE TO GET DRESSED FUN.

WHEN YOU GO FOR THAT RUN, LAST QUESTION THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE BEFORE WE LET YOU GO.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE PEOPLE TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR BOOK AND FROM YOUR EXPERIENCE?

WHAT ARE THE THINGS I HOPE THAT PEOPLE TAKE AWAY FROM THIS BOOK IS THAT THEY CAN DO IT.

THEY CAN RUN.

THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WRITE MY STORIES ABOUT RUNNING.

BUT THIS BOOK AND MY STORY IS REALLY ABOUT PROVING LONG AND LET YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOUR BODY.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO WAS GET UP AND START.

OKAY.

MARTINA 7, THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

WE STOPPED BY AND SPOKE WITH A BLACK BASEBALL HISTORIAN.

WALK US THROUGH THE EXHIBIT.

THE LEVEL OF ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT WENT INTO NOT ONLY SECURING THESE OBJECTS, WHICH I CERTAINLY FOUND FASCINATING AND LOOKING AT THEM FROM THE VANTAGE POINT OF THE CONTRIBUTION THAT THEY MAKE NOT ONLY TO THE CITY OF CHICAGO, BUT ALSO BASEBALL IN GENERAL.

WHAT THEY SYMBOLIZE FOR ME IS THE ROLE OF RECOGNITION THAT IT'S GIVEN TO PLAY BASEBALL IN THE COMMEMORATION OF THESE BEAUTIFUL MORE SPECIFICALLY ALLOWS US TO PEER INTO THE LIFE OF BLACK BASEBALL AS WAS PLAYED IN THE CITY CHICAGO ANDREW FOSTER WAS CERTAINLY CONSIDERED THE WITH THE COURT ESPECIALLY FASCINATED WITH IS THE ONE WITH THE BUS ON CERTAINLY A TRIBUTE TO THE MOBILITY, FLEXIBILITY AND COMFORT THAT WAS PROVIDED FOR BLACK BASEBALL TEAMS AT A TIME WHEN JUMP ROLES RATHER RAMPANT.

IT APPEARS THERE BEEN A COINCIDENCE THAT THIS EXHIBIT WAS LAUNCHED AT THIS TIME, DEFINITELY PARALLELS.

AND IN THE 6 WITH THE INTEGRATION OF LEAGUE BASEBALL STATISTICS INTO THE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL STATISTICS IT'S A HUGE MOMENT, CERTAINLY.

AND THERE'VE BEEN BASEBALL HISTORIAN, CERTAINLY BEFORE ME FOR DECADES.

THAT HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT AND IT'S FINALLY COME FRUITION AND HE'S CERTAINLY WELL AND THE EXHIBIT IS ON DISPLAY AT THE CHICAGO FED'S MONEY MUSEUM THROUGH APRIL 2025.
