we had an opportunity to order some quilt panels from the memorial quilt. we put in a bunch of names, and we didn't know who would be here. one of the very first staff members of ward 5-b, george, is here. those of you who knew george and worked with him, his picture is here. i want to thank those who helped track down our people. a lot of dedicated work on alison's part. i want to put a shout out to gino, sue, brad, and diane for pg&e -- for being here and still doing the work. thank you all.

and that is even part of what collective memory is. as lucid as the notion is a kind of collective psyche. in the wake of our civil war, there were no truth and reconciliation commissions of any sort through which to process memories either of slavery or of the experience of total war, which, of course, so many white southerners had faced more than anybody. defeated white southerners and black former slaves faced each other on the ground, in the south, seeing and knowing the awful chasm between their experiences. often tragically unaware of any path that would somehow lead to their racial reconciliation. yankee and confederate soldiers, however, would eventually find a smoother path, never easy, but a smoother path to bond the fraternalism and mutual glory, the mutuality of soldiers. as is always the case in any society trying to master the most conflicted elements of its past, healing and justice in this country from our civil war had to happen in history and through politics. and americans have had to work through the meaning of thei

in the politics of memory. and as long as we have a politics of race in the united states, i don't see it ending at least today, maybe tomorrow, not today. then we are likely to have a politics of civil war memory. in my five minutes that may be left, i wanted to borrow, if i can, from robert penn warren, as only he could do it. he's the subject of one of the four chapters in this book. robert penn warren not only wrote "all the king's men" one of the greatest novel in american politics and i think one of the greatest civil war novels in american letters, he wrote that wonderful little book at the centennial of the civil war in 1961 called "legacy of a civil war" which was first written as a kind of meditative essay in "life" magazine. it was robert penn warren's own personal and therefore unique and peculiar take on the meaning and memory of the civil war and there are plenty of things in it we could fuss over today. but he gave us two metaphors or slogans that are still useful. if we're trying to think about,

most all memorials are created avalos is done, after concluded, perhaps years. the other interesting about this memorial is that we have created a space for people to come and heal that was created by individuals out of action. and it was a relationship that was formed between individuals and the city of san francisco. because again, this space was given to the community. it was given to a group that had not even formally forged itself. that shows that 20 years ago, there was commitment at all levels, and there continues to be. so where are we today. we are here today to recommit ourselves. we must realize that the fight is not over. every hour on the hour, the equivalent of a jumbo jet crashes, losing all of the passengers to aids. the fight is not over. we must continue to console, to support and to nurture each other. today we will be honored to hear from and to pay tribute to those that were in the fight 20, 25 and 30 years ago that so selflessly took a step forward. we will also hear from the next generation. because again, many of us have been in the trenc

they asked his permission to take this memorial to the congress in philadelphia. washington was very uneasy about this. it was a violation of military protocol. it could be seen, of course, as a challenge to civilian authority. authority that he had always respected. but, nonetheless, the situation was so grave that he feared that if he refused permission for his officers to take this memorial to philadelphia, he would resent the consequences that would arise. the memorial began in asking the congress, quote, as the head and sovereign to hear our plea, we have borne all that men can bear and further experiments on our patience may have fatal effects. this memorial was the one entrusted to colonels ogden, brooks, and general macdougal to deliver to the congress. the congress received the memorial, gave it to a committee, of course, and the committee then deliberated for weeks and weeks. in the meantime, those gentlemen i mentioned earlier, hamilton, madison, morris, morris and lincoln, began to concoct a plan. they saw an opportunity here with the disgruntled army

ample testimony to how brilliant his memory was. but what really freaked me out researching this book, i came across a letter t.r. wrote his son kermit in response to a question by kermit, dad, do you remember a poem by edith waters living south of the border. and t.r. said, yes, writing back, yes, i remember it very well, it goes like this, and he wrote out this entire two stanza poem. by this very obscure poet who i never heard of. i thought, i'll just check this out. i looked her up. i found when this poem was published. t.r. wrote that letter, i believe, in 1914. the poem was published in 1898 in the "atlantic monthly." i looked up that issue of the magazine and found that t.r. himself had an article in that same issue. in other words, 1898, looking at his own article he'd come across this poem in the magazine. registered in his head. i compared the written words that he'd written in 1914 and i could see they were not copied from the magazine because there were several minor mistakes. but otherwise it was word for word what he h

[ inaudible ] that's right. the fact that we're talking about these things is very important, but even more important is the fact that we identify to some real extent with the places of our upbringing that is especially a characteristic of southerners so called provincial mind. as i think about the historians who brought this meeting together, though, i feel that i would like to recommend that more of us americans read their works in such a way as to let our public rhetoric match better the historical conclusions of those works. i have some suggestions of some issues or some parameters along with we ought to talk better in this society about the civil war. the first had already been covered pretty well, namely, respect for the cost of the war to both sides. i sometimes have to remember that of the 620,000 men who lost their lives in the civil war on the battlefield or afterwards, some 60% of them were northerners. the north paid the cost in a way that a lot of

suddenly plans to establish a memorial to the dead in moscow were put aside. the pivotal moment was the stone that was brought from the solvinski islands and was put in the square as a memorial for the dead in front of kgb headquarters. it was there for fear the former prisoners were dying off and wanted a significant gravestone for those being killed, but it had a perverse effect because it diffused the energy and the drive to establish a real monument, and as the political confrontation intensified, history became more and subordinated to the demands of overthrowing the communist regime. when the communist regime finally was overthrown, it can truly be said that the mass movement behind in support of memorializing the victims of the chair collapsed, and only those morally committed from the beginning remained to continue the work of trying to find the burial sites, to identify the dead, to establish monuments, to correct the history books, and russia was plunged into a horrific depression. during the yelpson years, the gross national product in russia declin
