what would you tell frederick douglas about this? >> very little. jennifer murray: he talks a lot about -- how does this fit into the narrative? booker t. washington is another example, how does -- what is their competition memories? >> the primary issue is how to deal with memories of the south, among individual former slaves. while booker t. washington kind of advocates for moving on and forgiving, frederick douglas says you need to remember, be aware of what we went through and where we need to go. jennifer murray: sell among the -- even among african-americans their consensus, there is not a consensus. they are diverted. booker t. washington was consolatory in his own right. how did african-americans commemorate the civil war? blue and gray for journalism -- blue and gray fraternity seems to overshadow any true meaning. one thing they can and will commemorate is, emancipation day. throughout the northern and southern communities emancipation day is celebrated. this is a richmond virginia. >> a number of them peter out further south. jennifer mur

. >> would you comment on the great black leader in the period, frederick douglas. >> so frederick douglas is a fascinating figure. he was the pre-eminent african-american leader of the 19th srnts. i think we sometimes have a tendency to stand in for all of african-american thought in the 19th century and that is a mistake because george washington and williams and others were important voices and there were political disagreements in the black community as one would expect. but douglas plays a very important roelt in the story i've told in the sense that doug loss would say famously in 1878 there was a right side and a wrong side in this war which no sentiment ought to cause us to forget. why would he say in 1878, we need to be reminded there was a right side and a wrong side because he thought people were for getting it. that people were blameless and the equals and if not the superiors and would not relinquish their principles and that had taken root and for men like douglas it was disturbing to see the fruits of the union victory slipping away. and so in some sense he's commenting at t

the heaviest presence of security today at west baltimore's fred lick douglas high school -- frederick douglas high school. long lines and overwhelming force to protect the mall from additional looting. >> but this isn't called for. it's just too much. >> after being ignored so long now, now you're going to listen to me, basically. and now that all that anger has gotten out i believe things are calming down. >> reporter: downtown it was the adults doing the protesting. a peaceful gathering at the offices of the city state's attorney demanding charges against the officers involved in the death of freddy gray. >> we have come to stand with freddy gray, and stand for the grays of the world of >> reporter: this after ten were arrested tuesday night. the most surreal pact of the day a major league baseball game with no crowd. >> reporter: so the orioles won that one 8-2 in front of an audience of nobody. we're continuing to monitor this peaceful protest that's occurring. and the governor came out today and said the state of emergency is going to continue at least until the end of the weekend. there

harbaugh, former ravens ray lewis and about 55 current players, they would visit their students at frederick douglashool, bringing food and supplies to the residence affected by the violent protest the past few days, getting out there, showing their support. now of course that it is not the only excitement tonight. that it will be the eastern conference semi finals for the caps and the rangers as they are back on the ice. of course these are two teams that will be very familiar with each other. the new york rangers finished the season with the best overall record in the nhl. one spot better in terms of the goals scored. and that the rangers, they are probably the fastest team in the nhl. but the caps are approaching this series with the mind set that could be the best to be the best. but we want to be the best to, you know, move on. the puck drops tonight at madison square garden. coming up at 11:00, full coverage of that game and the first round of the nfl draft. be sure to follow us at twitter and at kristen berset for all the excitement. that'll do it for us here at redskins park, i'm kristen ber

frederick douglas, of course, pointing that out. and the other third were predominantly free men of color from the north. the motivations for african american soldiers were different. an example of that is the fourth united states public troops. the usct. with the exception of a few states, most african americans served under the united states of a troop again including high-ranking noncoms being aufgsed will whites who came in. now, pinkney had been a slave in the border state, maryland. he enlisted in baltimore. he eventually lost his right leg at d-bottom in front of petersburg, 1864. although a devastating wound pinkney viewed it as a sacrifice willing to make. i have lost in the effort for the benefit of the generation to come. for free men of color, the motivation was different. free men of color in a racist state. several of them have property requirements. the government of ohio would not allow it. the black man's rights to untraveled manhood. it's an amazing statement. pin finally was given the chance to enlist in september

frederick douglas to that in 1848. you could get on the training go to the north and that was a lot easier than doing it through the woods. some of them stall or appropriated horse-drawn carriages of their owners and fled from maryland to pennsylvania, many escaping in groups groups of relatives, sometimes women with small children. and they were helped by all sorts of people. below the mason-dixon line original -- generally helped by black people would.them on their way or give them some food. they did not go from station to station the way we sometimes think. there were not stations in the south. they relied they relied on the help of black people he encountered until they reach maybe wilmington delaware whether was thomas garrett and a regularized kind a regularized kind of group. once they got over the border and pennsylvania they encountered many quaker farmers and then they were sent to philadelphia widow was where there was the vigilance committee. he would quickly put them on a train. napoleon would go and meet

he did frederick douglas harriet tubman. they were visual stories.r example his migration series which is probably his most famous piece is composed of 60 panels that tell the story of the african american migration from the south to the north. very poignant images, heartbreaking stories about racial violence and trouble. but there's a sense of people struggling towards a better life. but the thing that distinguished lawrence even during that period is that lawrence, one he picked historical epics but also his work was never divisive. he told a people about his people in a way that communicated their perseverance and their inner strength. he really believed that he was painting the are beauty of people's struggle to better themselves. in many ways his work stayed the same as he aged. there is a remarkable consistency, the union of modernism and realism as we call it. an artist who created bridges not only told the stories of african american history but told the story of african americans and caucasians working together. that struggle towards somethi

so answering frederick douglas's question, what does peace among whites bring?t brings segregation and jim crowe and reconciliation. segregated memories for a segregated society. and let's see how they play out in the late 1890's. so late 19th century. one of the very tangible ways that union and confederate veterans reconcile and deal with post-civil war issues is to commemorate and preserve civil war battlefields. so, all this writing that they are doing and these postwar accounts, the confederate veterans and the monuments that go up, richmond, battlefield preservation is an important aspect of reconciliation. and in the late 19th century the golden age of battlefield preservation, to use ken smith's phrase, will come to ford. there are five battle sites that are preserved at that date. chattanooga will be the first federally preserved battlefield, shiloh, gettysburg then vicksburg. these sites are managed by the war department and funded by the federal government. so if you like going to civil war battlefields, the early preservation occurs as part of the fa

. >> that's baltimore ravens legend ray lewis telling students at frederick douglas high school they can all help change their city following the unrest. the day started when 55 members of the ravens team arrived in west baltimore in morning to help out, including quarterback joe flacco and head coach john harbaugh. they greeted local leaders and then dropped off boxes of food and other supplies for people living in neighborhoods damaged by the riots. coach harbaugh said a bunch of guys on the team care very deep deeply for the city. >> the baltimore case is sparking protests nationwide this one in new york city grew tense last night when demonstrators scuffled with police. the protest was in manhattan's union square when it spilled onto the streets and blocked traffic. dozens of officers moved in with plastic handcuffs and began making arrests. they ended up taking about 100 people into custody. >>> now for a check of our weather, we're tracking showers and thunderstorms. let's go to storm team4 meteorologist veronica johnson in the weather center. >> some of those thunderstorms bri

we're across the street from the mondawmin mall and frederick douglas high school where everything, all on monday when kids got out of school gathered across the street at the mall and the disruptions began. that's what threw police off guard. they're preparing for friday which is when the police will turn over their report to the state prosecutor and will decide -- the state prosecutor will decide to bring charges. we don't expect that the police are going to release very much new information to us, the public. however, there's a lot of expectation on the part of the public as to whether or not they're going to be charges against these police officers and so what's happening today, is city officials, police officials, are meeting to try to figure out how to change expectations, lower expectations, perhaps, so there's not a repeat of what happened on monday. >> and evan, quickly, the department of justice is also keenly interested in what's happening in baltimore. how intertwined are these investigators with the doj or is it a separate issue that they're looking at because ultimately th

several students at frederick douglas high school were involved in monday's riots. coach john harbaugh says he and lewis spoke earlier in the week about trying to help the city regain a sense of normalcy. we'll keep an eye on events in baltimore throughout this hour and coming up at 5:30 just ahead here, a closer look at what businesses are looking at as they head into what normally might be a busy spring weekend. alison: to the weather now and abc 7 is on storm watch tonight after some hail fell in the area this afternoon. chief meteorologist doug hill in the storm watch weather center with some details. hi doug. doug: still a little hail in spots. had it in the city. last report of a little hail falling not far from the american legion bridge in montgomery county. so it's interesting weather day here watching everything. right now, outside of the belfort furniture weather center, just cloudy but take a look at what's happening in barriville virginia right now at clark county high school they've had some hail and lightning and thunder, and some rain. still raining

players spoke to children at frederick douglas high school, across from the mall where this violence began. former ravens star ray lewis told the teenagers that they can change this tragedy in baltimore into an opportunity. >> that's where true character can be found. every young kid in this room, we have an opportunity because the spotlight is on us. it's on baltimore. >> ray lewis was supposed to be part of an nfl draft broadcast in chicago tonight, but he decided to stay in baltimore to help inspire people there to keep the peace. >>> a growing controversy tonight about body cameras worn by d.c. police. the city's mayor has included millions of dollars in her budget to expand the program but if she and the chief get their way the public will have very limited access to the video. news4's mark segraves is working this story for us joining us from the newsroom. mark? >> d.c. police have had a body camera pilot program for about seven months. reporters and members of the public have been asking to see footage from the cameras since day one. but the chief has denied those requests. in

since, to contain more vital substance that i have ever seen compressed in his face so narrow, frederick douglasuggled to feed the border states within the union, douglas had been a relentless critic. only after the president promised concessions especially equal treatment for black soldiers. as lincoln grew in his recognition of the role black men were playing to win the youtn the war for the cf1 o the g28crvlcw abolitionistsay6ñspsq more1biñ confident that the president would support the interests of all who had helped to quell the rebellion, including african-americans. in this regard and in many others, lincoln's second inaugural address did not disappoint. when the former slave attended the inaugustal reception, the president asked him what he thought of his speech. douglas assured him it was a sacred effort. one imagines that douglas left the reception convinced that in lincoln's second term, african-americans would secure the freedom and equality that they had envisioned and for which they had fought. the challenges of post emancipation. during the war, he and other leaders in the african

frederick douglas called them "nauseating flatteries." he could not believe that the great rebel chieftain was being treated this way so quickly. professor varon: in a sense, the copperhead view of lee -- become perhaps from the start are willing to portray lee as grant's equal, and they see the overwhelming numbers of resources as part of the defeat, in part because because i had to do not want lincoln to emerge from the war with a political mandate feeling that the victory was a political mandate. mr. holzer: do not rule out as one of the factors in his rehabilitation or acceptance, the power of images. there are dozens and dozens of appomattox engravings and lithograph that appear. of course the grant images as well, more principally, but you cannot help but believe that lee was a resplendent-looking man some showing surrendering his sword and an apple orchard inventions that were created and then it lee of course is importuned to pose outside his richmond home just a few days after appomattox, and those pagers viral -- the equivalent

frederick douglas, who said power concedes nothing without a command. you and your children are the inher ters of what baltimore is going to be. this is not our legacy and all the more this is not our city. this is, in fact a bad representation of who we are. let us cool off, let's pray. and tomorrow let's figure out what we're going to do with strategy. violence never got us anywhere. but when we think with a cool head, protesting and marching can get us everywhere. so please, baltimore, let's go back home, let's focus and let's not take away what it is we have been working so tirelessly towards which is changing a policy which is in fact corrupt and broken towards black men in this city. >> i want to go to jane miller. from what i've seen of the map of this trouble today it seems to be confined to a relatively small area of west baltimore and it -- i'm wondering, jane if it's possible if you're on the other side of baltimore to not really experience any connection to these events? >> no if you're in baltimore tonight, you're experiencing it. we have a

there is no lincoln if frederick douglas isn't pushing him. if there is no fdr if eleanor is not pushing him. there is to lbj if martin luther king jr. is not pushing him. when president calls me a critic. i take my big boy pill when i wake up during the day i can handle it. i don't see my other friends labeled obama critics. chuck todd on is asks tough questions. he is obama critic is george stephanopoulous an obama critic? our job is to ask difficult questions. it is almost reverse racism, that the black guy who critiques the black president continues to be called an obama critic as opposed to doing his job. i quite frankly don't like that but i'm dealing with it. >> host: you generated a quite a bit of conversation on your facebook page at booktv. this is typical comment. robert hill, jr., his picture of an african-american man. tavis smiley is smart opportunist along with cornel west thought they should have special access to the president when he is black. when it didn't happen they turned against the president with all their success. >>

host: do we know what fragrant douglas'-- frederick douglass's immediate reaction to appomattox was? david: we do. from the fall of 1864 right on the through the spring of 1865, as the war was winding down, after lincoln was reelected, and especially after this surrender douglass was everywhere in the north, speaking often in black churches, and he would often employed old testament metaphors to try to explain how fundamental this moment was or other moments leading up to it. he would often employ noah's ark, believe it or not. he would start a speech by going to genesis. he knew his audiences knew the old testament. he would remind them of the famous saying when noah sends a dove out the art, and the first time the dove comes back with an olive branch in its teeth. it meant that may be something out there was growing. he sends the dove out again, and the dove doesn't come back. it means the landscape has gone green. noah takes the hood off the ark. that is what douglass says was the end of the civil war. he gave it to that kind of significance, the end of the great flood and the pos

city has many prominent churches extending back to frederick douglas, yet the gaping disparitys separating haves and have nots in baltimore are as large as they are anywhere. this -- do you agree? this is not as much about race as it is the have and have nots? >> i certainly agree with michael fletcher, a great reporter who lived in baltimore for many many years. i believe it is not ferguson. it is different. one of the huge problems you saw in those visuals we had of baltimore, just now, as a delegate was speaking you saw all those abandoned houses those abandoned row houses. if you take a look at the sort of long arc of baltimore's development or de-development you know this was a huge thriving city until the end of world war ii a real population center on the east coast, a thriving community with tons and tons of blue collar jobs. those jobs are gone and that housing is depopulated a and one of the huge problems of baltimore is the huge stock of abandoned crumbling housing that brings entire neighborhoods down and that's never been addressed in any systemic way. you see all around town.

i leave you with the words of douglas -- frederick douglass also one of my favorite republicans. he said we are one. our cause is one. we must help each other if we are to succeed. thanks very much. [applause] >> we have time for a couple of questions. if you could introduce yourself, i will ask my friend ruth ellen from aarp new hampshire to as the first question. >> thank you very much governor. i am very excited about what you said about social security. part of the baby boomer generation, i have sometimes been called part of the silver tsunami. we are concerned with strengthening social security for us as well as protecting it from our children and grown children so they can enjoy it but we have. martin o'malley: the question is social security and making sure we strengthen it and that we expand it. one of the big changes that has happened over 30 years of following this felt economic model of concentrating wealth at the top and keeping wages low and systematically deregulated on wall street is weak dismantle pensions -- is we dismantle pensions for millions. i have talked to
