This woman is such a vast repository of human wisdom. Literally a sage. She's lived a life worth living twice.
That was beautiful! Thanks for saying this. So true. 💜
Imagine being so involved that you can refer to great people as "Martin", or "Nelson". I hope she lives forever.
You mean Marty and Nelly?
After reading this comment I realized she was a female

"Putting something out on Twitter is NOT a movement" - Dr Mary Frances Berry. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
There's always got to be one of you? That has to be negative! it was just an example my God pic pic pic!🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏
@ Morales Fam,
Dr. Berry is a fantastic, brilliant woman, who is in her own lane, just
as Dr Welsing (Cress), was. Unfortunately, she never got the recog-
ition she deserved. We, as a people, all people, need these wonderful,
gifted, women in our lives. God, didn't equip us all the same, therefore,
He is no respect of person. Kobe Bryant died today!!!! Enough said.
No one knows the day, nor the hour, when that once in a moment
happens. 2020 is here, put on your best shoes, cause we are going to
church. And we're gonna get ''''''BORN AGAIN,'''John 3:16
Confess Jesus, Share with others, Romans 10:9 & 10.
Ask God for one of the Nine Gifts of the Spirit---*1st. Corinthians 12:1-11
Trevor Noah has out done himself again, the man is brilliant, and
crazy, purrrrrrrrrrrfect. Love you Dr. Berry, so witty, so deep. so...….
I agree. Its saddening how strong women of color arent recognized for their contributions
@@TiffyQ559 true! Very sad! 🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿
So true
Dr. Berry is a living legend! Such a brilliant writer and activist!!
Thank you for recognizing Dr Berry's academic titles: PhD in History AND a JD! Dr Berry is AMAZING,
She's great!❤️
This woman is smart, funny, and all around amazing.
@Andi7 Amo go back under your rock.
Oh that’s a woman
@Andi7 Amo "ya'll? I guess you think that's a step up from "you people"?

"Some people are old, but they don't live a life" - Nice catch, Trevor! :)))
Right??? Definitely Nice Catch, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
I have a prediction. It will get a lot more violent because of inequalitys in the next two years. That's why I don't want to participate. People are too polarized in these areas. I don't want to be a part of it.
She's lovely and shines like a golden montain. She's the kind of blink blink that Americans should be proud of.
Uh, sorry to correct a home boy, but you mean, bling bling. Peace.
@@stefanschleps8758 it does make me wonder what blink blink would be though. It sounds good too.
Yeah. Kind of what you do when she starts talking.
Sit up
Open eyes wide

Blink 182?
Im glad to see her again. Such a fascinating and smart human being.
May her wisdom is taken in by as many as possible.
Great title on the book, too. Far too few bother to learn the lessons of the past.
I’m glad we still have heroines like her that can show us what to do in a non-violent way.
What a great women that all people should look up to and take in what she says go girl.
I don’t know if I’m autistic but things like this make reading hard for me too. Especially the ending of that “sentence”.
I think what you meant: “What a great woman that all people should look up to and take in what she says. Go, girl!”

"Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them."
- Frederick Douglass
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
As a survivor of domestic violence this statement rings so absolutely true. As soon as I found my voice and stood up for myself he decided I wasn't worth trying to subjugate anymore and he moved on to someone else. Being quiet about injustices is exactly what allows them to continue.
Mellisa Same here, the day I’d had enough we were in the garden and for the first time I kicked him back on the ass with all my might (I’m only little), when I turned to run the postman was coming up the path looking scared in case I kicked him too, the poor man had no idea WTF was going on! 😊

Your last sentence...how thought provoking! Very true, I hope many women will see this. And also protesters for George Floyd! Very insightful. You are an intelligent woman.
"Being quiet about injustices is exactly what allows them to continue."
Beautiful.
Thank you for introducing me to these fantastic leaders, Trevor. I didn't know who Ms. Berry was and I was a rapt listener in only a matter of seconds.
Come on America. Let's mobilise! You have the power. Not the 1%
#Bernie2020 #NotMeUs #Solidarity 💕
1%... Okay... How about the Christian %, because they are the people dividing this Country!
#Bernie2020 and Randy Ross, good point. Them, I have no clue how to reach the religious ones.
Vote people! Vote actively! We have the power to change things but sadly the people who complain are the ones who don’t show up. But I guarantee y’all that 1% is showing up to keep everyone else under!
she's absolutely correct! don't be distracted, the world is magic and she's being destroyed by our arrogance and ignorance.
SheAnatural B. And let’s not forget, she is the only one we have. This planet is precious.
Trevor winning with Dr. Berry!⏰📚👏👏
I never knew her... and did research... she is incredible with her speech, with her work, and how she conducts herself 👏👏👏👏 from the 🇵🇭
My favorite professor in undergrad 😭
She reminds me of one of my professors at Morgan State University
You beautiful lucky woman. Go. Go. Go.
I had no idea she was a professor. I would pay quite a bit of money to take her class.
What a great book title. My book list is going to grow. I thank every American who made it necessary for me to double my reading, and triple my action😍😉😎
I bow to the lady!
What a beautiful soul.
Now theres an actual american hero!
Thank you my sista, for always fighting the good fight!
Namaste

I could listen to this great Woman all day.
Thank you, Trevor, for using your platform to bring people like this amazing woman to a wider audience! Just added her book to my audible wishlist ☺️
Watching from Holland, learned a lot, moved to tears.
Such a shrewd and subtle funny woman😍
Dr. Mary Frances Berry is absolutely inspiring! BRAVA!!!
What a wise woman who will never give up faith in what she believes in and makes it reality. We need less ignorance and more people waking up and realizing the world needs everyone to stand up for what is right.
We are being required to pay the debt that freedom demands.
That is correct. Or in other words. Freedom requires discipline.
We need to protest in streets
I respect you immensely and thank you for all you have achieved.
At 💲24.9 trillion bucks, Elaine, whose Debt would that be?
Unfortunately, we’ve discovered that social programs are for the Rich only.
👉🏼 The greedy receive Government subsidies and pay no taxes‼️‼️❌
Meanwhile, our children’s brains are rotting in their heads from the poisoned environmental racism that is prevalent from coast to coast.
And as a bonus, the clean air and water Act are no longer viable. Trump killed it❌☠️❌
I’ve always believed in non-violence but am lately beginning to doubt this wisdom.
We can no longer afford to support “measured changes.”
If we are to survive as a species, something else must be done immediately‼️
I was a CO In Vietnam and cost me dearly. I have put my body on the line many times!
I REALLY HATE THE STUPIDITY BEHIND POX NEWS WITH A REAL PASSION❌🤡❌
When is enough, enough‼️
Nj Osborne you have said everything I’ve been saying for years! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽🤩🤩🤩
Such wise words. What a great woman.
I loved this interview! I plan to get her book!
What a powerful interview. Many many Thanks Dr Berry! I am totally inspired! and will definitely buy the book and employ the tactics. I love her quote on being willing to be arrested. And Trevor.. Ma Man. you are a lighthouse through the dark night. Never stop! I’m watching from all the way in a tiny pacific island but bro I’m right there with you. Thank you for what you do.
I love her sense of humor. Informative interview.
What a wonderfull woman 😊
Smart Lady right there Salute to Her !!
"make a dent in the wall of injustice" wow...
Dr. Berry's wisdom is invaluable...I appreciate her point, even more, today about trying something different in the area of protest. I am listening.
She is a true gift
Thank you for this interview.
Wow, a Mary Berry I can enjoy watching!
Exactly, I don't feel the overwhelming desire to shake her until one of us loses consciousness!
Stand up for what you believe in.
Don't give up.
People like her give inspiration even for us in India. I wish more people see this in India right now.
Wow. What an amazing, strong and purposeful woman. Very inspiring message.
Yes ma'am!!!! This woman is a national treasure!
Trevor : I honestly have met few people who have lived as much of a life as you have.
Mary : You mean I'm old
She is so powerful and so wise. Thank you for bringing this interview to the internet.
2:38 I can't be the only one who died laughing WAY before the audience did.
"It will make government officials you elected actually DO what they promised they would do. Isn't that unique?" I died xD
Sorry, but that is SO 1990. Once Obama was elected and the racist movement went global, the outcome was predictable. The GOP is wholly owned by Big Oil and the only way to change that is Civil War. (Because they believe they have ALL the guns - and ALL the gun nuts. And racists, violence addicts and criminals.)
I want you guys to talk about Malcolm X.. Unfortunately he never gets the attention that MLK has.. He was too a great man..
NO Ajmal A.
Malcolm X, just needs someone like you, to bring attention to his incredible
life. He was a brilliant man, so if you want to know more about him, get
busy, it's your desire, and many others, including myself, that welcomes
more information about Malcolm. Where there is a will, there is a way, so..
I recommend you to find that way, It only takes one, be that ''''ONE.'''
Amen!!!
Yes! Absolutely!
@@vivianclaiborne7653 In fact, I have read about him only recently, I previously thought of him as a man of extreme stands, But when I get a closer look at his life, I found him to be a great man, I want him to be in the public discourses just like MLK.
@ettekamba6969 From what I read he's a controversial figure in the US, But he's much more intriguing in his line of thoughts and actions. I think he is the one who made a bigger contribution in building up black pride than MLK, that is precisely why he was vilified and many accounts do no justice to the man and hero he is, he's rather portrayed as somebody who was misguided in his course.
@@ajmala9250 He is revered in many circles. His autobiography changed many people's perspective & lives. He is loved in the black community.
What a brilliant mind!
Brilliant!
She is amazing, inspiring 😃
We need fewer celebrities; many more like her 🙏🏻
We are 15 seconds in and I'm already loving her
certainly, Mrs. Berry and Trevor are from the same tribe! This woman is beautiful inside and out.
Why has every one forgot the Native Americans. Do you realize in a few more generations we will be a memory if people don't start doing something
Yes. That's why we must learn from her example, and never give up, never sit down, never surrender.
And we all know, that if any peace, or dignity is to be found, it will be though all of our strong women, black red, or yellow. Through the kindness of women we can heal.
I hope I can be that wise when I'm that old--oh, wait, I'm already that old. Too late! lol She's another one of my heroes.
Great interview, & really interesting. I'm not American, I've not hears of her before & definitely interested in learning more. She seems like she's made real change happen through her actions and process.
I've recently seen Jane Fonda (& also with Lily Tomlin) interviewed about a climate change protest she has started & is rolling out, with Greenpeace. She has been arrested 5 times, recently, & said very similar things - although not quite as eloquently (no disrespect to Jane Fonda, it was more like she was given 1 minute to explain by whatever talk shows I saw her on.)
This was a far better interview. Trevor gave Dr Berry time to talk and to get her message across, and she did so in a calm, intelligent way. And said so much more in amongst it all.
But both these women must be (roughly?) around the same age; they were both arrested protesting the Vietnam war; and their message is the same - you have to risk something (e.g. arrest)/ really commit to something if you know it's worth it.
Could consider the kids around the world risking punishment & suspension from school for striking on Fridays for climate change. And also that Twitter/ social media has enabled that movement to mobilize around the globe.
(Will add that when asked about being arrested, Jane Fonda replies, 'Well, I'm white, & a celebrity...' & acknowledges the privilege that gives her.)
The moment she said, "You mean I'm old." I knew I would like her.
Whoa - When she said the most important issue that needs to be addressed is Climate Change, I almost fell off my chair, and started to applaud loudly! YES! Climate Change. The entire world is threatened, and if we don't address it we deserve what happens. Racial/Gender Inequality is the next big issue - screw the economy- Bah! We can actually fix the economy by attending to those top two things. We must do radically different strategies if we are to survive. Dr. Berry is a treasure!
How to peacefully resist. June 2020 suddenly recommended. Hope the brave people in US out protesting get this prescient support.
Thank you Trevor and Dr Berry - I must physically be a part of the solution - I’ve been inspired.
I watch the daily show everyday without fail even if I steal WiFi from next door its worth it and as a south African I enjoy it well done Mr day walker
im going to read this book. damn when she said climate change i was like- wow. this woman gets our generation.
Totally agree with her. I never really thought about protests that way. I always as a young person just thought there was an agenda, you met, you protested and then whether it happened or not that was it. But if its that powerful to get the people in authority to do something then I think she's hit the nail on the head. Plus she would join a protest for climate change as well. Looks like Greta and others have potential support
MLG GAMER ... Great comment
A literal living legend!!!!
This is an awesome human being
God bless her
It all takes energy and commitment and awareness of consequences
Wise woman!!! 💌💘💞💖💕💓💗❤😍😍😍 We need more wisdom and love like this!!!! It changes the world!!!
Gratitude for sharing Mary Frances Berry with your audience! #WarriorWoman Living & fighting for the Fullness of Life for All Generations! don't keep doing the same thing~a message for current activist! a 'moment' doesn't cut it, We must pick up the torch & move forward #ClimateCrisis impacts EveryOne in the World & needs Attention Now #MustBePresentToWin 👊💜🌎
Wow! What a lady! I would love to just listen to her for hoyrs and absorb all that wisdom!
It’s mad how relevant is right now.. share guys share 🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
Bless her! Such a marvelous mind and humor.
This is amazing guidance for young people who want to change things. Perhaps, some of them, for the first time heard how things work. Without a doubt, most of them think that tweeting is a protest. It is not. If you want to protest, do something, go out, do it peacefully, do it patiently. It takes time and it takes effort. And it takes numbers (that's what twitter is for). This is the only way to be heard.
Love her🙏
beautiful black woman. she looks like my grandmother with short hair
She also looks like she could be part of Trevor's family, doesn't she? Lovely, strong woman.
She sure does
@@chezmoi42
She does look like a Khoisan woman.
She looks and sounds like my granny too😥😥😥😭
Beautiful guest. Hope you have more like her.
I 100% agree with everything she has to say.
Please ask Mary Frances Berry to your show as many times as she will come!!
Jane Fonda had been going out like every week getting. Arrested for climate change with a different celebrity guest each week so I guess now we just need to make it bigger and more creative.
Protests and voting go hand in hand. People have become do nothing slugs. “. I’m comfy,let someone else do the heavy lifting” .
Depends who. We have been taking actions climates strike. Extinction rebellion join us !
@DejaVoodooDoll it's not about what they do(the presse - politicians etc...) It's about you. Countless times I've seen people in marches being like oh shit I didn't knew that and learning about these political movements. Each march then is bigger than the one before till the system changes even slightly.
Voting is not enough. Mobilization from now on
This is my favorite Trevor Noah interview
What a role model! She seems so nice. If you live in her city I would take her up on the offer to learn from her. She seems like she has so much knowledge and would really appreciate people learning.
To my black ppl in the back stop singing "we shall overcome someday" because we not...start fighting back! Singing this song does not give us justice in America.
Too many (younger) people think that protesting is wrong or even illegal.
I dont like protests because of how the police act. In the heat of the moment police easily mistake suspects, they just point fingers and will charge at you, no questions asked. They nearly got a friend of mine that way who was actually trying to fend off a guy trying to attack a officer. Its something I have seen repeatedly happen, they mistake your moves as a attack or they mistake you for someone else and they will bust you up good while arresting you as well.
Why must you force someone to do their job? Imagine if it was like that for everyone. Bc they don't have to be held accountable until their time in office is up. What a system
I must have that book and read it daily.
Get it gurl.
Amen, THANK YOU!
check the long ongoing protests that going on in Algeria .
Wow your protests are impressive, involving so much as the country, getting a president to give up on a FIFTH term (would be dictator?)
And many other apparently corrupt people to resign. Anda majority boycotting the presidential election. Are you any closer to what you want for your govt?
@@wordzmythright, the protests are peacefully and peacefully , duration of the protests didn't and won't matter untill the gaols are fulfilled . Mostly Fridays for all people old and young .. some students goes on Tuesdays ... No stopping till they all go away .
@@MounirAbderrahmaniI admire the commitment of the Algerian people. It would be great if Hasan Minhaj could do an episode on your peaceful and committed protests for Patriot Act. But he needs to do one on Kashmir first.
O.G. right there. Thanks for the reminder Mary.
Thank you 🙏🏾 from South Africa 🇿🇦 for al you did for us...
Now we shall mobilize to resist the nonsense the current SA government & opposition parties are doing...atleast we are human now , from being made to feel & believe we are non human and stupid by the apartheid government...
Wow, what a great interview!
How can there be so many wonderful people like her exist and at the same time there is a president that thinks he is the best in everything and can do whatever he wants... What is wrong with you, USA?
A lot my friend, but we're working on it.😎✌
@@pennyrutter2782 currently?! not
Most of America did not vote for Trump. He lost the popular vote. Now he is losing his base too. 😉 Trump for Prison! Nomypresident!👎
This slaps so much harder right now
Incredibly well spoken and insightful
How relevant this is even today...
Love her. Gotta read this book.
Simply inspiring!!
*When peaceful movement fails, peaceful protest fails, peaceful demands and struggle fails, the only alternative is an armed movement. They are not listening to you any other way.*
People start peacefully. They start in a peaceful manner where they're able to negotiate terms.
*Violence is the natural progression of a failed peaceful protest. It is the only possible trajectory afterwards.*
~ Angel Ramirez Jordan
yeah, but if you have an armed movement, you get what happened in Hong Kong.
Gandhi joines the chat
@@isabellakeman2016 So be it! The price for freedom is death.
@Benjamin Jensen Can you not understand the words or are you pretending to be so stupid?! The first sentence said: "When peaceful movement fails, peaceful protest fails, peaceful demands and struggle fails, the only alternative is a violent one because they are not listening to you any other way."
*If they listen to the peaceful protest then it's alright.*
What do you not understand in these words?!
Read the sentences again.
@Benjamin Jensen you are dumb as fuck. If you are not able to comprehend then it isn't my fault and I can't help you understand. Learn to read carefully and to understand the context of the sentences. And sorry for the insult but you gave me no other choice.
I hereby end the conversation between the two of us.
When the sage speaks, we listen. Trevor is a brilliant interviewer.
