they know that i'm bringing love through that window, and they show me love whether i'm in brooklyn, whether i'm in the bronx, queens — it doesn't matter. and especially here in harlem, you know, this is my community. we just want this community that i love to know that i care, i see you, i'm in this with you. and to end this week, we return to the isle of skye, home to some of scotland's most spectacular scenery, and where i am setting up camp for the night. i really think this is what camping should be. we walked about 30 minutes from the road, hopped over some rocks, and here we are, by ourselves, right now. the laws around camping in scotland are much more relaxed than the rest of the uk. you can pitch your tent in most parts of the countryside with a few key rules and exceptions. this summer, as the country emerged from lockdown, residents reported a big increase in the number of people coming here to camp. but that has caused problems. so this is torrin pools. it is where the water runs down from the red cuillin, and lots of people come here to camp. there's a distinction to

her mother worked as a bookkeeper in brooklyn. ruth used to ask, what is the difference between a bookkeeper in brooklyn and a supreme court justice? her answer, one generation. it has been said that ruth wanted to be an opera singer, but became a rock star instead. but she chose the law. subjected to discrimination in law school and the job market because she was a woman, ruth would grow to become the leading advocate fighting such discrimination in court. she was not an opera star but she found her stage behind me in our courtroom. there she won famous victories that helped move our nation closer to equal justice under law, to the extent that women are now a majority in law schools, not simply a handful. later she became a star on the bench where she sat for 27 years. her 483 majority concurring and dissenting opinions will steer the court for decades. they are written with the unaffected grace of precision. her voice in court and in our conference room was soft. but when she spoke, people listened. among the words that best des

it seemed like all of you just moved out of a treat for brooklyn. i want you to know that i'm asking, him i'm putting in and men meant for assignment, it assignment that has a little more relevancy to the district that i represent. not forestry of rural areas and villages. surprisingly, no one had ever done this in the house. i was a bad child, but you know something. they went back and they did give me a committee that had more relevancy to the district. better than a district of forced entries, after i did that, they committed they started to put them not in the crazy committees but they would speak up. they later told me they wanted to keep me hidden before i started blossoming in the house and they were shocked, i told them i knew that's what you were trying to do but you're not the kind of person i am. >> who was your closest leadership ally in the house those days? >> who did you look to? did you have a mentor or did you need one? >> no i didn't have a mentor because the gentlemen, that what's funny about the house of representatives is that t

we were both born and bred in brooklyn —— a lot in common. both born and bred in brooklyn -- a lot in common. that's true. that was a surefire lifeline. she had a great sense of humour about herself. and, you know, she got that nickname because of the very stinging dissents she was writing as the supreme court was moving to the right and more and more conservative decisions on voting rights and reproductive rights and she really told it like it is. and younger people just gravitated to the idea of this feisty older woman who was speaking truth to power and the notorious rbg hashtag just took off. she was someone who was determined to work through life—threatening illness, almost up to the end. yes, absolutely. she... laughter was extraordinary in the number of times were get an alert that she had been to the hospital, she had been to the hospital, she had been to the hospital, she had fallen and broken her ribs, she had another recurrence of cancer, she was having chemotherapy, she kept going. she would, you know, she rarely would miss a day in court and she kept up with all the opi

he wanted that newly created seat in brooklyn. there are three things that helped me i think to eventually intervene. number one, he was not a resident of brooklyn. number two, he didn't realize how fluent in spanish i was. we had a pretty large spanish area. i would speak in english and then i would speak in spanish. and the first time james farmer heard me speak spanish i see his mouth opening right now. he just couldn't get over that. and thirdly james got to the point where this machismo thing was so strong with men at the time. he had these musculyr black men giving out his literature and this kind of thing going on. and i began to feel badly and i always had a feeling. so i went down and 3.7 women to one man in the district. and went back to the headquarters and sent out a call to the women leaders in the district, black, white, italian, jewish, i said we have to go to war, that was it. >> how much did you win? >> 3-1, mobilized. >> and then you go to washington. and tell the story of your committee assignment. >> then when

ruth bader ginsburg was born in brooklyn new york in 1933. child of recent immigrants, she attended cornell university, meeting her husband marty there, the love of her life. despite excelling at harvard law school the young mother could not get a job at a law firm when she graduated, experiencing sex discrimination first hand. she worked to promote women's rights at the american civil liberties union in the 70s, arguing in front of the us supreme court that women faced discrimination in employment. rbg was involved in the first case that the supreme court ruled that sex discrimination was unconstitutional. she wrote the brief, rbg co—wrote the brief, for the aclu that basically ended up providing all the reasons why sex discrimination had to be unconstitutional under the 14th amendment. as ruth bader ginsburg's reputation as a trailblazer for women's rights grew, she was made a federal judge by president jimmy carter. then came the ultimate honour. i, ruth bader ginsburg, do solemnly swear... it was president bill clinton who nominated her

and i just remember signs all over brooklyn, and people being so happy of a brooklyn girl. you know -- you know, laura, jeffrey talked about what she did for women and for equal rights. and really, just for civil rights and justice in this country. i asked kaitlan collins what the justice meant to her. what did this justice, justice ginsburg, mean to you? >> if you could have seen my phone, that blew up the second i heard that she passed. i actually had a visceral and vocal reaction. i actually screamed, out loud, no. because i knew just what a monumental passing this was. this is somebody who has been iconic. somebody who has been an inspiration for me throughout my legal career. much like my other icon, thurgo thurgood marshall, and charles houston. two profound architects. and then, be able to create a blueprint of how to dismantle the system. she was on that same pedestal. i even fan girled out when she walked by me when i saw the "rbg" movie and she was in the theater. and she walked by. and i remember going oh, my god, oh, my god, it's her. it's her. it really is her.

ruth used to ask, "what is the difference between a bookkeeper in brooklyn a supreme court justice?" her answer, "0ne generation." it has been said that ruth wanted to be an opera virtuoso, but became a rock star instead. but she chose the law. members of the public will be able to pay their respects to the notorious rbg, her rock star nickname, over the coming days, but the world is not standing still. donald trump is moving at warp speed to fill her seat on the court, still draped in black, and it looks like he‘s got the votes in the senate to push this through, particularly after a strong republican critic fell into line. what i intend to do is to proceed with the consideration process, and if a nominee actually reaches the floor, then i will vote based upon the qualifications of that nominee. two women are being talked about as a successor — barbara lagoa, a cuban—american from florida, and amy coney barrett from indiana. but in social outlook, they couldn‘t be more different from the liberal justice ruth bader ginsburg. and at trump rallies, there‘s a new chant for 202

., the late great rapper from '90s brooklyn, one who also spoke truth to power and used words to do so. >> to her clerks, rbg's quiet power was apparent the moment they arrived for their job interview. >> i walked into her office for the first time, and there is justice ginsburg, and she's standing there. she works standing up though she does not have a standing desk. but i remember being struck by how small she was and then just how giant she was because she is an absolute icon. and the thing about justice ginsburg is she talks very slowly and deliberately. every single word that she says is carefully chosen, and there are often a number of pauses during the conversation as she formulates precise words for her next sentence. >> i was very careful to not step over her words. i would let, you know, three seconds elapse just to kind of look at her and make sure she was done before responding to any question. >> at public events like this one at the national museum of american jewish history in philadelphia, admirers rallied around the legendary justice. >> that one my daughter calls moth

several neighborhoods in brooklyn and queens account for about 20% of the city's new infections. meanwhile, schools are set to reopen for in-person learning this week. joining me now, nbc news correspondent ron allen in new york city outside ps-6 on the uner east side. ron what are the concerns about school reopening at this surge is taking place? >> reporter: well, a lot of people are concerned about the cases going up obviously. just heard from the governor who said that the number of cases in the state is now back in the 800s, with that one-day spike into about 1,000 friday of last week, but back down. he said he's still concerned what he called clusters, where the infection rate is high in parts of brooklyn, orange, rockland counties outside of the city. but these counties and these zip codes in brooklyn and queens have been a concern for some time. the infection rates there are as high as 4%, 5%, 6%. city's is about 1%. schools opening to in-person learning in elementary schools meaning hundreds of thousands of students. new york is the only major school system in the countr

at the beginning when we were in brooklyn there was a guy on roller skates. a lot of bicycles. it's been at times kind of diffused. you had police kind of trying to catch up and figure out what direction the crowd is going in. at some point. after they broke up over the manhattan bridge. a very motivated crowd. it doesn't seem to have lessened very much. there's hundreds of people out here marching. now in the streets of manhattan and continuing to chant and demanding accountability. >> i hear them saying breonna taylor's name. we'll get back to you. be safe. see you in moments. i want to get to atlanta. what's going on where you are? >> there's protest going on for about three hours now. it has been peaceful up until the last 15 minutes. let me show you where we are. outside the state capitol. this is why there's all the concern. you can see you have a police presence here. as well as georgia national guard. and a vocal crowd. most of this protest when it was at the peak had several hundred demonstrators and all peaceful. marching through the streets of downtown atlanta. once

they were captured, the father paul edmondson made his way from washington to brooklyn to meet with the reverend henry wart beach or to plead with him and say if these were your daughters, and the slave trading from price and breach was bragging them with taking mary and emily edmondson to north carolina to sell them as concubines, as fancy girls and paul edmondson makes his way to brooklyn and said how would you feel if they were your daughters that someone was bragging about selling as sex slaves. the edmondson sisters are deemed, there are purchased and given their freedom, which is really a concept that i think we all should stop and think about what that meant, right, to be giving your freedom as opposed to simply being able to possess yourself and possess your freedom. and the accounts of this convention in upstate new york describe how beautifully and powerfully the edmondson sister spoke to the crowd, and how is their speeches and songs that really move the crowd to tears in many cystitis. we thought it was important to include them to really highlight the role of everyday peopl

justice ginsburg was born in 1933 in brooklyn and became the second woman to serve on the supreme court. when she was appointed by president clinton in 1993. she became a towering champion of women's rights and spent her final years on the bench as the unquestioned leader of the court's liberal wing the women's rights champion, even became something of a rock star golf her supporters as pat mentioned off the top there. she was affectionately called the notorious rbg she sat on the bench for 27 years and we've also learned tonight, according to npr her granddaughter has said that ginsburg dying wish was not to be replaced until a new president is installed, it's also worth noting that she was the first jewish woman to serve on the supreme court and the high holidays begin tonight with rashaana and according to jewish wisdom, the most righteous people die on the eve of rush hour. live right now in the newsroom, i'm justine waldman kron 4 news justine thank you both president donald trump and presidential candidate joe biden. >>reacting to the passing of justice kinberg today, here's what

, through lower manhattan and now we're heading back into brooklyn. this has been, again, a peaceful crowd, high energy. all of the usual protests, "say her name, breonna taylor." but increasing in in the last half hour or so we're standing near a group that is holding a banner saying "trump/pence out." there has been a lot of talk, hey, look, you got to vote, but we can't rely on that. we got to stay out in the streets because it's important to make people understand, the whole society, the whole country understand what we want to see, which is accountability for black lives lost at the hands of police. respect for black lives. so that is the message that we're seeing here today. entirely peaceful from what we've observed. but we're talking about hundreds and hundreds if not more than 1,000 or so people out in the streets. it's a festive atmosphere. there is -- there has been drum. there is a trumpet player. a guy on roller skates with a guitar. so it's a festive atmosphere, but they are still angry, i should say, if you can sort of mix those two thi
