it was it was it was it was my idea but i think everybody was kind on the same page i think we all thought that this was the time to sort of pay homage to the things that were going on in society obviously trayvon martin when it happened i think it touched everybody in a weird way in a very very specific way because it was a kid who was just wrong place wrong time minding his own business completely innocent he belonged there he wasn't intruding he was in trust passing he was an armed he couldn't have been more innocent and yet based off of his apparel this guy thought that he was a certain kind of. guy and it just really was is just devastated a lot of people so we thought it made sense that we use the hoodie as sort of a sort of a disguise a sort of way of working as a superhero because not only did luke cage not want to be noticed by to know who he was it was a very casual everyday man kind of costume everybody has a hoodie you know everybody gets a bit of money sometimes take a walk in the and have a dog and it's made sense who is luke cage look age is a guy who. if he was a superhero

was serious. the mood was peaceful and the day was hot. ian: why busses and how many were there and whose idea was it? pat: well, this is may 9th. this was the cambodia kent state speech where i had worked with the president on where we invaded cambodia, it was a tremendous shock to clean out the communist sanctuaries in cambodia from which they were attacking americans in south vietnam. and there was an explosion on the campuses and there were riots and out in kent state, there was a riot in kent on saturday night. the national guard came out sunday. they burned the rotc building. on monday, there was a huge demonstration and the guard fired live ammunition and killed four students and that exploded the campuses in the country and virtually, i mean, there were hundreds and hundreds of campuses that simply shut down and this was early may and nixon was tremendously shaken by this because he had made the statement that a women -- nixon had come out of the pentagon after the day one, i think it was may 1 right after the speech. and a woman sa

was winning. the tet offensive i think administered a terrible shock. it was not just hue. hue was the place where the holes that he was taken over. the months attempting win the city back was reminiscent of the kind of battle spot in world war ii or korea and i think the images and reports from that fighting really changed a lot of americans attitude toward the war. i think the antiwar movement really picked up steam after the tet offensive and it was apparent that the american government had been lying to the american people. i interviewed about 40 people. they are listed in the back of the book. i have not counted all of them. i talked to 40 that i focused on that i listed there in the back of the book. i think about 40. brian: which one would you pick out of all of the 40 that you remember the most and why? mark: i think the first character you meet in the book was fascinating to me because she was my age, actually maybe two years older than me. it she was just a village girl who had a family that had been fighting for independence for generations. her grandfather, her father h

i was a frightened young man, i was 18 going on for 19. i was very, very scared. e cos this was torture. at the end of 72 hours, i had nothing left. i just wanted out, and i decided i'd had enough. "i volunteered to come in, i'm volunteering to leave." i rang a pal of mine to get me out, and i stank, i stank of filth. i got a bath, and i must have got eight hours of trying to scrub the filth off me. after the treatment, i decided enough was enough, and i woke up one day and said, "i am what i am, i've got to be who i am and accept who i am." i channelled the way i was through my entertainment. all the big stars i've worked with. and i learnt to be who i was, and i became outrageous, and that was the way i got acceptance. isn't she lovely? got a brother? i think i've been happy with myself as a homosexual, but i actually don't believe that i belong anywhere. i can never forgive what they did to me, ever. pete price still presents a popular evening radio show in liverpool. finally this month, in 1977, racing car driverjanet guthrie became the first woman to compete i

this was another lesson that was driven home powerfully over the course of writing this book, was the importance of the haitian revolution for american history in this period. i think it's impossible to tell the story of how the united states was transformed from this weak fragile power into a consnecon continental power without incorporating the history of the caribbean. and the last thing i learned is to think about philadelphia in completely different ways than i had before. philadelphia was the capital of the united states, and it's where the refugees i was looking at all settled. it was a different city then from what it was today. it was a population of about 40,000 people, which is roughly the size of an american university. not even in the top ten of american universities. but the city itself geographically was tiny. virtually all population was huddled along the banks of the delaware river. it was a dense city of 17,000 people per square kilometer. much denser than manhattan today. to see that density you have to look to bombay today. thousands of french people poured into th

was that? what was the conference like? karen: nsa was a membership organization of 300 universities and colleges in the united states. it claimed to speak for all american students. it had huge annual conferences called congresses that minute -- minute political parties, attended by delegates from the member schools. i went not as a delegate, i went as a wife. my first encounter was as a volunteer in the secretariat that produced mountains of paper, reports, etc. i married the student body president at the university of colorado and i was the secretary of student government, but it was a paid position. i wanted to be a secretary, and had not figure out that was not what i was in college. that was my initial engagement. >> in your book you describe how when you went to this first national convention, it opened a new world to you. karen: it was, as i try to capture, i had never heard of the new york times. i never been east of chicago. i didn't watch network news. i was a cheerleader, a baton twirler. it opened up a whole new world. i thin

was needed. but, it really was that moment. detroit wasthe moment when everyone woke up. >> let us go to longview, texas. pierre. : i just wanted to say that this is an interesting story in that -- just to put this in perspective. i was born in 1969 in longview. my mother was born in 1941. my grandfather was born in 1896 and slavery was abolished in 1865? of course, my great-grandfather was a slave. up, havingim growing hethed a son in 1896, it relayed some of those slavery tendencies, poster medic slave disorder to his son. my grandfather, i am sure relayed it to my mother born in 1941 and of course, some of that rubbed off on me. i am 48 years old. but,to med school and all to put this in perspective, we still have police brutality same and some of the apprehensions toward the other side, just like it was passed down to me from my mother and great grandmother and grandfather, was also passed on the other side. the same ill will and feelings. to put this in perspective, this is not too long ago. this uprising happened in 1967 that far, ju

was a malignant country. and it was malignant for a combination of reasons.it was authoritarian, it was militaristic. it was imperialist, it was protectionist. and as a result of all these things, in balance of power terms. >> when you put all this together, you have what he called the perfect flower of war. >> now, the important thing to keep in mind here is that not all authoritarian governments are necessarily for wilson malignant. germany however was capable of putting all this together although he was careful to separate the german people from what he called the german imperial government. so that when the united states declared war on germany, the united states declared war, not these governments of the united states. not against the german people but against the german imperial government. the government was at the origin of the problem. now if we look at the second citation of the handout that i have for you, you will see what is the most famous declaration that wilson ever made, it's when he asked the congress in early april 1917 for a declaration of war saying the world was to be made safe f

was ready for that. he knew that was possibly what was going to happen. y had that frame of mind, definitely. but i saw a change in him a week or two weeks before he got killed. he actually shifted. there was something in him that was clinging towards me... clinging, as in softer and more vulnerable? he wanted my voice constantly to be the last voice he heard whenever he rang at home. he spoke to myself and my husband and his sisters, but he always asked me to come back on the phone because he wanted my voice. if it was going to be the last call, he wanted my voice to be the last one he heard. so he was certainly clingy, and that's because he was sent fighting for about seven weeks and he had seen things and i think he saw a lot of things that he wasn't prepared for, and that's when the shift happened within him. and i felt at that point, actually, there was hope, that i may have been able to change his mind, but unfortunately he got killed a couple of weeks later. what was the last thing he said to you? the last thing he said to me was, "i love you". it w

it was scary because we didn't know if anyone was killed — on both sides. it wasdes. the police force continued to block the roads of people coming in or out. they prevented food, medicine. they were quite aggressive and always provoking. it was a siege, a 78—days siege. well, we did decide to end it. we just had enough and we said, "we're going back to our homes." september 26th is when it was supposedly finished. a big melee happened. some of the soldiers had their bayonets on, because they were totally afraid of the people who were coming out. there were a lot of arrests on that day. this ain't a surrender either! we're still not surrendering, because the land dispute is still in full force, it's not been settled. i mean, the golf course sparked a discussion about the real issues that indigenous people have been fighting for for centuries, which is land dispossession, protection of our languages and culture, our way of life. so it woke up people. i would say it woke up people. and she is still campaigning for indigenous rights. remember, you can watch witness e

was gun. this was a gun that was used during the action. although it was a french cannon or gun, it was also used by americans during the war, including a local captain from the kansas city area who became famous after the war. his name was harry truman. when the united states entered the war in 1917, the army was not prepared to fight in an international war. one of the things they were lacking besides a number of men was also artillery. world war i was a war of artillery. 60% of the battlefield deaths were caused by artillery, by the projectiles that were fired over the battlefield. so when the americans went over to france, they primarily used french artillery pieces. one of the major ones was the french .75 millimeter gun. it was advanced for its time. it had an incredible recoil system. so when the gun was fired, the barrel actually moved and the gun stayed in place so it didn't have to constantly be readjusted. when the americans, of course, started using these, they used four guns in a battery. a battery was commanded by a captain. on

was at that time. it certainly was not common. it was very uncommon. the reason they did was phillis 'own intelligence. when they purchased her, she was between six or seven years old. at the time she came to boston, there was a war going on. the seven-years war. that was rants and england at each other. the traffic in slavery was reduced. i would have to say that the pickings were slim at that point in terms of slaves. frails arrived as a very little girl. susanna wheatley went to the doc ks -- they purchased the slaves off the boats. she went to the docks with her husband because she wanted a little girl she could train up as partners. she knew she was getting older, she was getting weaker. her own children were going to leave at some point when they started their own families, so she wanted to be assured of care . they took her home, and in very short order, she picked up chalk and started writing on walls. letters. trace she was insistent on learning. two children had who were then living. they were teenagers. they were twins. one was mary, the othe

there was a clear distinction in those days between what was highbrow, what was middle brow, what wasow i -- low brow. and there was very little communication among these fears. and for better or worse, those distinctions at some point disappeared. and i think that had a lot to do with the loss of the particular quality of the highbrow world of those days. i mentioned harold rosenberg before who made his reputation as an art critic. although he was at polymass. he wrote about everything. and, of course, very brilliant. when he was asked to to write art criticisms for the new yorker, that seemed to be a great turning point in american culture. and in a certain sense, it was because he told me once that william with schoen, the editor of the new yorker, called him in one day, and he said i just read your latest piece, and i don't know what you're talking about. he said, well, don't worry about it, i know what i'm talking about. [laughter] >> but, you know, it's interesting about the highbrow, middle brow and low brow, because if you'd asked -- and i was certainly raised in this, bathed

wa wa wa. wa. wa wa. whoa. whoa whoa. whoa whoa whoa i said refugees return to cali again human rights watch is accusing police there of abusing migrants on a routine basis describing it as quote like living in hell the rights groups say pepper spray is used on migrants even in circumstances when they pose no threat police are also accused of confiscating sleeping bags and clothes from the migrants while disrupting access to humanitarian aid well the police admit that they're struggling to cope alone migrants say they feel abandoned by the authorities to spend my six month intelligent as the other one of them came and did this it to all the people you'll see in france one american if you prefer the work you had in there maybe build your life then separately in the process enough to know you are in the cease not as an excuse for us normal actually more do we have about six hundred migrants here now and we're expecting more there's a zero tolerance policy towards the settling of migrants and the reconstruction of the jungle

was in san diego since he on the team. suddenly it was a rich man's plaything. he was angry that the team is bad but he was just happy to be a baseball. >> the first time they played a home game ray was sitting proudly in the owner's box drinking his early times and getting more incensed as how terrible the game is going. at a certain point he went to the announcer booth and asked if he gets a few words to the people in it was a sellout crowd. ray was a hero for buying this team. he announced, i have never seen such lousy ball playing in my life. and of course imagine that in the age of twitter. it took a while for that comment to reverberate. at the exact moment he was speaking in the streaker if you remember and so it was a crazy night and it set the stage for who ray was. anyone who knew for a new he is quite bombastic before that. that was his big welcome to san diego. is welcome to major-league baseball and some people loved it but a lot of people were not happy including many of the players, even if they agreed it was lousy ball playing. >> fisher. as you mention

not always paid very well for what he was doing, it wasn't that he wasn't working hard. was that he was a little too innovative and sometimes people just didn't appreciate enough what he was doing. one time very poignantly he said promises are not always kept, my coat was stolen and i had to buy a shawl. i hope i'll do better another time. he was always trying hard but not necessarily doing well financially. but sometimes it meant that all those women in the household were teaching him in a way in that era was not considered very ladylike, it was supposed to be the man doing all of those earnings and the woman just tidying up the house and raising the children. they were really a little unusual financially that way so they were definitely struggling a lot of the time. here they are in the alcott dining room, and of course here, mrs. alcott's china was the service use. >> and the initial is for a name, may. which is interesting because we have luisa may and abigail may. may was not a made-up name, that was her maiden name. and this is english cold for china, this is all a funny expressio

what they did know was it was no accident. this was arson. in a building beside the main hotel structure, a building that once served as tom and sabine's living quarters. nobody was hurt, happily. but there were questions. was it personal? an attempt to destroy evidence or what? around town some people wondered if tom had something to do with it. others dismissed that as just plain nonsense. photographer jack elka covered the fire for the islander newspaper. >> that's when the mystery really started to, wow, another element of this puzzle that -- >> reporter: yeah. why would somebody do that? >> kind of bizarre. >> reporte s have something to do with whatever happened to sabine. why would that place burn down? somebody was trying to destroy some evidence or something? >> it was a theory. we weren't sure if something happened there and then she was buried somewhere. we just didn't know. >> reporter: months went by without a decent lead. though it was not for lack of trying to find one. especially where their instincts were telling them sabine

this was one of the things they did. it was astonishing. >> it was because of what he said. is is a force for good or not? the role of television was undoubtably played from now on on americans taking the presidency. he said ultimately that will depend on the people. he says there is no question that it is going to give people a better sense of who the individual is. whether they then make the right decisions, this really is going to be a test of our democracy. jfk was saying this before he had ever become president. it is really kind of a remarkable thing. the other question that i wanted to ask before we open it up to the audience is the democratic party struggling a bit to find its way forward in the era of president trump. are there any lessons to be learned from this, we always say like to tell our students they you are going to study history and you are going to take away important lessons from this did if those who are making the big decisions in the democratic party is there anything they can take away from the story that is relevant to our current moment. part is a d

and the reason he objected to the war was because he was a member of the nationof islam . that was his total reason. he was a true believer in the nation of islam. and the nation of islam was sort of an offshoot of islam with a different kind of theology on the side of the white devils and oppressing the black man and just a different theology and the idea was why should a black man fight in a white man's war? the honorable elijah mohammed who was the head of the nation of islam answer for years in jail from world war ii and a bunch of members of the religion had served time in jail for not going to correia and muhammad ali was in that line in his religious thinking. so he applied for conscientious objector status . which entailed a bunch of things. edward jack who had been a big lawyer for malcom x in the nation of islam up in harlem, he was called jacko the giant killer because he defeated the government on a bunch of things and they file a thing for conscientious objector and as part of that, he had to go see a special judge that they brought in a retired judge, this was part of

roll, "challenger." >> good roll, flight. >> my responsibilities for that flight was i was spacecraft communicator. i was communicating with the crew. >> engine's throttling up. >> "challenger" go with throttle up. >> i was looking at my screen and i turned and looked, and i did not understand or recognize what i saw. it didn't make sense to me, because it was this fiery mess. >> flight. >> there was this angry red glow and this wail from the hearts of the family because they knew what i knew. that "challenger" crew was gone. >> today is a day for mourning and remembering. the future doesn't belong to the faint-hearted. it belongs to the brave. the "challenger" crew was pulling us into the future and we'll continue to follow them. there will be more shuttle flights and more shuttle crews and yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. nothing ends here. our hopes and our journeys continue. >> to honor our fallen, we have to find this and fix it and fly it again. >> within a matter of days, we knew it was the solid rocket booster joint that had failed. the o-ring was a flawed design that

was a lot in those days. this was a adams administration and washington supported the adams administration in doing this. this idea that it was okay was like a hinge between the ages. before that not so much. after it you know what we have today and it is okay. could you talk a little bit about he would be overseeing this interesting affair in. >> you know, madison was very confident in himself. you know, he just had confidence. he encouraged congress to declare war. he knew how to change his mind. a friend of ours said to me once, you know, of course you don't keep a total consistency throughout your life. when the situation changes you change. i guess the most best example of that is madison seasoned the constitution. when he left he was very disappointed. he did not think they had done all that they should. he sort of sat and thought about it and decided that nothing better could be created. he support add national bank during his administration. i think gordon wood wrote in his book one of the chapters is called is there a madison problem with this back and forth. i think he would agrie with me that no. you know, you chan
