george washington as a man of wise judgment. but george washington is a man. like every man, he screws up from time to time and makes bad judgments. he made an horrendous this judgment when he decided to take an addict arnold and give him command of the city of philadelphia after general howe's army withdrew in 1778. one historian exaggerates but makes the point when he said, "had washington deliberately planned to crucify arnold, he could not have treated him more cruelly." to put this man with his condition in this situation sets the stage for trouble. you have got to remember benedict arnold is extremely embittered by what happens in the aftermath of saratoga where horatio gates gets all the credit he feels he deserves. from his perspective, he sacrificed virtually his life to the cause. one of many quotes from arnold. having made every sacrifice of fortune and blood to become a cripple in the services of my country -- he is disillusioned with republican government. it seems, from his perspective, it is run by a group of shortsighted and corrupt officials.

washington established.y would do is to not only promote the development of black businesses, but they would also help black businesses along. sod one so one started a grocery store or clothing store or any kind of business farming equipment, et cetera cetera, one could get aid and help from the national negro business league. so he put that together. after the publication of up from slavey in 1901, in fact, won him the claim nationally and internationally such that booker t. washington, in fact, became not only the most significant, the most powerful and well noun african-american leader in america, but also he became internationally famous. and internationally known. this was during an era where there was no twitter. there was no cable. there was no facebook. no cell phones none of that. word about someone's success and celebrity status travel pry primarily through the newspapers and also word of mouth and also books and other print materials and booker t. washington, in fact was invited to dinner at the w

washington washington. in that respect, yes, washington did lay groundwork that later on other organizations that came legacy. also marcus gar vee claimed direct lineage. but in terms of the select yule and social activism, he saw himself inheriting a legacy of booker t. washington. he admired him. he thought he was the greatest man alive. he carried with him everywhere he went a copy ofb slavery. and came to work with booker t. washington. by the time he got here, washington was dead. so he said okay washington is this race thing and folks said the man now is dubois. they were turned off by dubois. you can understand how a person can get turned off. he was a brilliant man but not all that great socially.8z" good hair and all that and in jamaica those people are a problem. but they started the improvement association. and claimed lineage to booker t. washington. later on the nation of islam..p7Ñ that's the movement. it comes straight out of booker twa that we refer to as black nationalism. and the problem t

washington was a liminal space.doubt the women could have freely written about native men in this way in the west. in the 19th century. it would have been more threatening. because there was a perception even at the time that there wasn't a huge native presence in the city or that any native presence in the city was a transient temporary presence allowed this to be more okay. it was less an affront to racial order. more excited to look at those and find more examples of oh those stories. >> when your work here is concluded what do you hope to do with the findings? >> this is a book project. i published my first book with the university of north carolina press. i'm hoping to work with the press again on this bookment there is an amazing visual element to the project as well. also a part of the project that's about movement a movement of people. so in addition to the standard monograph which will focus on washington, d.c. and not only will the native people be the main characters. but the city itself will be a main ch

jefferson and washington would have these conversations about what washington should look like should it be made out of brick? that's jefferson, much more humble republican. should it be marble and granite? that was george washington because it's going to last the ages. washington points out to jefferson, i am president. and therefore we have a city of marble and and granite, et cetera. this house designed thornton. juan little anecdote about thornton. he becomes an american citizen. 1812. citizens are building the public building, not the private building and they're going to burn the patent office. the first director of the patent office is dr. thornton. as british are coming up with their torches and ready to burn this, he had gotten the papers out but couldn't get the models back. thornton comes out of the shadows and says take me to your commanding office. they take him to his commanding officer. he says to the commanding officer, and you will be that at this point, if the british burn this down, you will have the same reputation of the turks that burned down the library of alexa

once again, live from washington, moderator gwen ifill. gwen: good evening we'd been expecting the senate intelligence report on torture for months. it was clear there would be some bombshells and many suggested releasing the details of c.i.a. interrogation tactics would do more harm than good. but now it's out there and we know wartime detainees were deprived of sleep, slammed against the wall, waterboarded and subjected to enemas. >> the documentation and the finding's inclusions will make clear how this program was morally, legally, and administratively misguided, and that this nation should never again engage in these tactics. gwen: the report, endorsed by only the democrats on the committee, was as grisly as it was revealing, with the nation's political fault lines again on full display. one dispute, whether the harsh tactics yielded anything. c.i.a. director john brennan said yes. >> the detention and interrogation program produced useful intelligence that helped the united states thwart attack plans, capture terrorists, and save liv

washington loved the land. when he toured the united states to get to know the people and let the people know him, that was one of the things, washington was quite a stately man, but he wanted the people the know him. and he knew the only thing they could see was a portrait, and that wasn't enough. he wanted them to see him in person. he toured new england. he'd stop at every farm, walk the fields with the farmer, pick up some dirt, sniff it, rub it together, you know? and he the soil. he knew what good soil was like. and so did marshall. and these were truly, to be trite, down to earth people.
