17:42 Segregated by Design

From https://www.segregatedbydesign.com/

‘Segregated By Design’ examines the forgotten history of how our federal, state and local governments unconstitutionally segregated every major metropolitan area in America through law and policy.

Prejudice can be birthed from a lack of understanding the historically accurate details of the past. Without being aware of the unconstitutional residential policies the United States government enacted during the middle of the twentieth century, one might have a negative view today of neighborhoods where African Americans live or even of African Americans themselves.

We can compensate for this unlawful segregation through a national political consensus that leads to legislation. And this will only happen if the majority of Americans understand how we got here. Like Jay-Z said in a recent New York Times interview, “you can't have a solution until you start dealing with the problem: What you reveal, you heal.” This is the major challenge at hand: to educate fellow citizens of the unconstitutional inequality that we’ve woven and, on behalf of our government, accept responsibility to fix it.

3:30 Everything Is New OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO Jaimie Wilson

Jaimie Wilson’s original self-duet with his voice pre transition and post transition from female to male. “This music video and song means more to me then I can express in words. It’s as if all of my emotions and feelings from the time I was little have been brought to life through music and visuals.”
I’d like to point out that the girl walking in frame and kissing me at the end is my girlfriend, Jessenia. She is a survivor of domestic violence, when she heard my song for the first time she repeated my lyrics back to me “love has broken me too, but now everything is new”
You see, this song and this music video is not about being transgender, it’s about the struggles we ALL face. And I hope that’s what everyone can take away from this, love has broken all of us...but we can create a new.
