jacobs and had escaped avery the two had met in the 1840s when harriet came down early 1863 so theybecame partners and allies. one ofca the things i liked about this as i was working on it it really was a black woman in a white woman working together as partners and that doesn't happen often in that time. >> i don't know as much about but i understand she did have more present or awareness of what she was doing?ce >> she had written a narrative about her experience as the life of a slave girl that is available even now and i encourage people to read this. writing articles for the liberator which was the abolitionist newspaper of the day. so she knew it she was getting herself into. >> what about race relations? was there a big change in her awareness of race relations when she started to come down dealing with former slaves? >> up north it was easy to romanticize i am here to help but when she came down and started to hear people's stories oror experiences or what she could learn from them or help them it was more nuanced experience. >> another question is obviously they are not sto

her former colleague harriet harman said dame tessa was dedicated to supporting others. she did her politics and a very different style. by befriending people, so she befriended the panellist because she wanted to support them, and she befriended the powerful because she wanted to support the powerless. one person has been killed and four others wounded in a knife attack in paris — authorities are treating it as a terror incident. france's prime minister says the country will stand firm against attacks. france is absolutely determined not to yield in any way to the threat issued by attackers. our response will be firm and clear. also in the next hour: israel lifts the trophy at this year's eurovision song contest. singer netta takes top points with her song ‘toy‘ — a song inspired by the me too movement — but a stage invader during the uk's performance causes drama at the lisbon event. and it's official — a picture of the queen's formal

harriet jacobs who i mentioned first connected with or worked with in alexandria moved out of the area moved back in in 1877, they remained friends for the rest of their lives. she was able to live the way she wanted to but had not expected to in rochester farm. >> not much more in terms of helping former slaves. >> individuals and families, not in terms of a fixed political movement. >> she was in dc, not virginia after the war. >> she would come back to visit. what had been a slave pen still standing on duke street called freedom house museum is now a museum but it was used as a slave trading place before the war, as a prison during the war, she talked about going back after the war and a woman who had been enslaved was caretaker of it, and a relic. a former slave is taking a bolt of a slave trading place, and historic irony is that she lived and realized. >> she felt pretty good, held onto that rally. >> it was a momentous sort of thing. >> i have been singing john brown's body lies a molder over the grave all week as we talked about this earlier in the week. there was a song about

if you look at matt turner and harriet tugman who rebelled against slavery.f we are going to have a summit about race at 1600 pennsylvania avenue that will be a great thing. but i don't understand why when we come together issues affecting black and brown people, we bring together athletes and entertainers. why don't we bring together scholars. we are not minstrel shows. brian: if it's athletes and artists it's a virtual waste of time. your reaction to kanye's comments. >> i agree that slavery was not a choice. the 250 rebellions that took place including matt continuer and harriet tugman. and those that freed themselves across the country. what i can say in terms of this imprisonment con yes talked about, there are a lot of people mentally imprisoned. we live in a generation where people are quick to blame history as to why they are not succeeding. i think that's problematic on many levels. we live in a country where we can create our own opportunity and do well. but that won't prevent people like dr. wendy oseppo who sits on fox news channel, on air, the nu

now he takes up the cause of frederick douglas, harriet tubman, and john brown and begins work on hisal -- passing a constitutional amendment abolishing slavery. >> although he believes he has issued the emancipation proclamation on good constitutional grounds, once the war emergency is over and his war powers lapse, then this could all go into the courts and get undone. what he needs is something that will put the end of slavery beyond the reach of the federal courts. and the only thing which can do that is an amendment to the constitution. >> if the 13th amendment is to have a chance, we must have at least some democratic support. >> lincoln's decision to push the 13th amendment was a huge departure and in the face of tremendous opposition from politicians in the north. so this was actually a very brave thing and bold thing to do. >> everything we have fought for is contained in this document. our desire to see done only what our fathers have first done. they found slavery among them, but they believed it was an evil. we have here, now, the best opportunity we will ever have and to

>> but harriet tubman was a slave that rebelled.re kind of like you when you say you didn't feel like being controlled. >> yeah, you know what? it's funny, my boy tremaine 2008ed and said malcolm x and people got mad and said how can you compare them to that? i know this is going to cause an uproar but certain -- certain icons is just too far in the past and not relatable. >> not relatable, he says. i was reading some of your comments. your concern with kanye and maybe other young people is just in how our history books are being written, how young people in this country are being taught or not taught about parts of our history. >> yes. i don't want -- if i had a conversation with kanye one on one, i wouldn't have a lot to say, which is sort of how you're hearing my response now. because if i'm talking to someone who is not thinking and i'm going to enter thoughts into a conversation with him, then we're not going to have a conversation on thought. and it sounds like he stands only in the immediate and for some reason does not want

harriet harman has sent her condolences to the family and the spoken and she said dame tessa was no softy and tough. this is a woman in parliament who made sure that she went for what she believed in and that she stuck by her principles as well. this is no mean feat in this day of politics. no, listen, she was tough. i mentioned the olympics. she had to be very, very tough to persuade the government to do that. she had to be very top of times in her delivery, but you always did it with real charm and grace and with a real sense of humanity and decency. but she was tough. she could bite her corner very hard. harriet said in a statement that you just revert to, whenever there was a school or a hospital or a public body in the constituency that wasn't up to the mark, tessa would be there fighting and she thought for people. among the many, many people there will be paying tributes today, a lot of them will be from her constituency. she was an incredible constituency mp. i suppose lots of us lead busy lives, but you often wondered how tessa could back in the things she did during the day. als

her former colleague harriet harman said dame tessa was dedicated to supporting others. people, so she befriended the panellist because she

ayesha hazarika was special adviser to gordon brown and harriet harman; and she is the author of punch lots of people what to do away with pmqs. why do you make the case for the defence? many people argue it is childish and makes a primary school playground look positively mature, however we think it still has an important function. we have a unique democratic function were once a week the most powerful person in the land can come and take questions on any mp across the land on any topic, and it is noisy and slightly boisterous, but it means they can't sort of hide from expecting to be held to account. and it's a very unique part of british democracy. i have many friends in america, for example, to say right now we would love our president... yes, a big following of pmqs on television are there.” think if we sanitised it and made it very well behaved and docile it would remove an important part of that accountability and we don't wa nt that accountability and we don't want our parliament to be docile and cowed. i think it is part of british tradition that we have a healthy disrespect f

contact with the metropolitan police commissioner, the council leader, and local mps neil coyle and harriethe says he is reassured that the metropolitan police are doing everything they can to bring those responsible to justice. the business secretary, greg clark, has said that a new "customs partnership" with the european union after the uk leaves is still on the table. the idea is that britain would collect tariffs for the eu on all goods arriving in the uk which are destined for europe. it is fiercely opposed by leading brexit campaigners who say it would effectively mean the uk would remain in the european union. our political correspondent, nick eardley reports. how should we trade with the eu after we leave? the government remains divided. some want a customs partnership where we collect tariffs on the eu's behalf. others want a streamlined system, as frictionless as possible, but with some barriers. senior ministers held a crunch meeting on the issue this week, where many made clear their opposition to the customs partnership idea. this morning, though, the business secretary said it

harriet harman has also paid tribute to dame tessa: i think that she was an enormous political figurehe was an enormous politicalfigure, notjust in i think that she was an enormous political figure, notjust in the labour party, but across politics. you remember that old woman's movement saying, the personal is political, tessa's political style was all about how she felt as a person her devotion to her children meant that wanted sure start children's centres to support children's centres to support children and parents in every part of the country. her love of sport mad that she wanted the olympics to come here and for it to be shared by every region and for the paralympics to flourish. she did her politics in a very different style, by befriending people, so she prevented the powerless because she wanted to support them and she prevented the powerful because she wanted them to support the powerless. she did her politics not by shouting at people 01’ politics not by shouting at people or threatening them, but by sitting down and having conversations with them and persuading them. she

the only time this was happening was with harriet tubman in maryland. agree, and ion't suggest there are probably reasons as to why they don't agree. rate, this is the situation that was going on. white men, men, going to free black men in missouri. city in the beginning paid tribute to the abolitionists this is the first of two pictures that i took in the kansas state senate chamber. names? guys read the ,harles robinson, john brown these are abolitionists. their names are enshrined in the state capitol building into a begun. eka.n top kansas then becomes displaced of freedom. i am going to say there were whites dedicated to freeing the black people and we have to give them credit, but ultimately the black people freed themselves. the best -- vast geordie of people becoming free. there were only 627 blacks in all of kansas. were 12,000.e to put that in perspective, these 12,000 represented 9% of the population, a larger perspective -- percentage than the black folks to this day. why did that happen echoed a confluence of geography and politics. there w

from susan b anthony the was arrested for voting, to elizabeth cady stanton, harriet tubman come to the younger generation who really shook things up like lucy burns, ida b. wells, mary church terrel, these women protested, demanded change, publish newspapers, they gave speeches, organize, started clubs and they began marching. in new york alone they organized paget's down broadway. they marched for 13 days in the snow and rain from new york city to albany just to get the right to vote. nationally organize the first women's march in washington, d.c. in 1913 and then spent months and months getting outside the white house with signs protesting. history teaches us each new generation builds on the last. there are lessons are one of perseverance, a determination, and a willingness to never ever give up. even when it's hard work especially when it's hard. and their fight reinforces what should drive our democracy today, the fight for the apartment of others, the fight for those who are most at risk, the least among us, those who are not being heard. a year and half after our generations own

thisshed in 2004, and then which is fairly extensive edited and annotated diary from this woman, harriet eaton, who was born in boston area and moved to hartford, connecticut and spent most of her adult life in portland, maine. and had lots of interesting things to and had lots of interesting things to say about her various power struggles with darius surgeons, even though she tried to do it very politely. the first conclusion of this work on nursing history was for me to note that more than 21,000 women were hired by union hospitals alone to provide all manner of relief services during the war. women were copying, they were doing washing, they were feeding and helping faith patience and delivering medicines and reading to patients, they were writing , some of them could play the piano and were singing with their patients, having their patients sing with them. they help people pass the time of day in addition to providing these various domestic and custodial services. for more than a century after the war, folks were trying to such womenwork of and few historians were interested in doing

harriet from the wall street journal. a question about tax reform. earlier this year was the first time people started to see more money coming into the bank ounce and yet consumer spending has been rather weak in the first quarter. i wanted to ask about that and if you have any concerns about whether tax reform is giving people into just to spend, you mentioned businesses earlier. you said you were wondering about nehru models and i wanted to wonder if you could go into detail about that? >> that's a thing i'm not supposed to talk about according to my friend who was a ca chair. -- cea chair. let me start with the consumer. so consumer spending in the first quarter after a blowout fourth-quarter is a positive for gdp and we will find out tomorrow how positive. if you look at the retail sales data and retail control, it suggests it has gone down a little bit from the fourth quarter which is one reason why the atlanta fed gdp now is in the lower choose. -- lower two's. consumer spending is projected by everyone to be pretty high this year and pretty h

> in a separate interview kanye sat down on a very well known radio show here and he talked about harrietn being put on the $20 bill, for example, and he sort of went off again. listen to this. >> why do you have to keep reminding us about slavery? why don't you put michael jordan on the $20 bill. >> my boy tremane tweeted a picture of me and virgil saying malcolm x and martin luther king and people got mad. how can you compare them to that? man, i know this will cause an uproar, but certain -- certain icons is too far in the past and not relatable. >> monique? >> so here's the deal, why do you keep reminding us about slavery. the reason why is because systemic racism, institutionalized racism and the things we're experiencing today started back in slavery. these are institutions that have continued and prospered because of slavery and they continue until this very day. so again, with the irresponsible comments and to just, you know, why don't we talk about this instead of this. we're not monolithic. we talk about everything, but the fact remains that when we're still seeing our people sh

the fact that he compared himself to harriet tubman and gnat turner -- nat turner, he's not leading peopleyou are a musical following or theatrical movement, you're not the leader of a movement. when i was growing up in the '60s, i would look up to dr. king, i didn't think the temp tag tempations or gladys knight was new leader. there's a difference between leading the black and a black leader. >> my issue with kanye west is it's okay to align yourself with donald trump with elements that you align with or appreciate it. but don't think you speak for black people as a whole. and then to make a comment about slavery -- our an cess sorcesto probably reeling and feeling the pain of his comments. but choice is when you can wake up in your million-dollar home, that's a choice. our black men and black women who are being marginalized, oppressed every single day, they don't have a choice in the way they are being treated. so again, his comments were -- lack the intellectual capacity that we know he's capable of exercising. and more importantly -- >> we hope. i don't know if he knows. i'm beginnin

we agree. [ applause ] >> sister harriet said no. >> people are mad at kanye for his comment about slaverywere mad at him the day before too when he was expressing love for president trump. is it not compulsary to be a black person and hate donald trump? is that where we are now? >> there are facts here about how he won this office that have been detrimental not just to black people but to marginalized people all over this country and this world calling to the african-american countries and haiti s-holes. hiring someone like jeff sessions. who has continued to up hold this violence that's pervasive around the country. >> so trump has done a lot of that stuff. the republican party has had a lot of negative history in some ways, but do you think kanye has a point when he says maybe we should be spreading our best. a lot of people are saying if we only are voting for one party, the other party can write us off. you think malcolm was right? >> of course malcolm was right. the republican party has failed black families by not going to the community and focusing on issues that matter to them. bl

. >> harriet myers, another one. >> she was put in a bad position.ump's nominees and they have beat their ex-wives, they are completely inappropriate and unqualified for positions and have committed just outright criminality. >> but i think this goes back to what she said, it's very easy to go back to the campaign and pretend that's the root of everything here. but donald trump did say it. he said, i alone can fix it. and that's been his theory. >> he has said he thinks torture works. gina haspel, she may be very qualified, but the reality is, she oversaw a sight that was torturing at least one detainee. yesterday when she was pressed, she couldn't say whether or not she thought water boarding or torture was immoral. are we struggling now with a moral question of what americans val value? >> we're struggling with history repeats itself if we don't admit we made mistakes in the past. i was part of the bush administration, and i will say, there were mistakes made over the war on terror, the war in afghanistan. i think we can have a national security th

"slavery was a choice," kanye west defended himself last night and tweeted a quote attributed to harrietman, that has been proven to be fake. but we already knew that. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] and finally, over the past several weeks kanye west has expressed controversial opinions about racism in america. this culminated yesterday in a visit to tmz during which kanye described slavery as a choice. now, commenting on a black man's opinions about slavery is not something i'm comfortable doing. >> but i am! [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: this is -- this is one of our writers, amber ruffin. >> kanye, i'm sure you think what you're doing right now is fun. but your words are being used as fuel for the alt-right movement. and my biggest concern is your words will affect how black children see themselves. you're telling them that it is their fault that they are at a disadvantage. so now i have no choice but to counteract all the harm you've done. >> seth: how are you going to do that? >> by speaking directly to the hearts of young people. using the most powerful art form known to m

from susan b anthony, who was arrested for voting, to elizabeth cady stanton, sojourner truth, harriet tubman, the younger generation who shook things up, like lucy burns, ida women -- they protested, they demanded change. they published in newspapers. they organized. they started clubs and began marching. in new york, they organize pageants on broadway. they marched for 13 days from new york city to albany just to get the right to vote. nationally, they nationalize the first women's march in washington, d.c. in 1913 and spent months standing outside the white house with signs protesting. history teaches us each new generation builds on the last. their lessons are ones of perseverance, of determination, and willingness to never give up. even when it is hard. especially when it is hard. their fight reinforces what should drive our democracy today. the fight for the empowerment of others. the fight for those who are most at risk. the least among us. those who are not being heard. a half after our generation's own women's march, the grassroots energy is growing. it is not fading. women ar

sister harriet said no. >> good. okay.ou know people are mad at kanye about his comment on slavery. they were mad at him the day before, too, when he was expressing love for president trump. is it now come pupulsory to be black person to hate president trump? is is that where we are now? >> i think there's a conversation about the republican party then there's a conversation about donald trump. there's fact and fiction. fiction is certainly that slavery was a choice, but there are facts here b about how he won this office. that have been detrimental, not just to black people, but to marichc marginalized people all over the world. calling african countries and haiti [ bleep ] holes. who has continued to uphold this idea of police violence and allow it to be pervasive across the country. those are real issues. >> so trump has done a lot of bad stuff. the republican party has had a negative history in some ways. but do you think that kanye has a point when he says maybe we should be spreading our bet. if we are only voting fo

then this birthplace of souls, which is fairly extensive edited and annotated diary from this woman, harriet eton who was born in the boston area, moved to hartford, connecticut and spent most of her adult life in pofrt land, maine -- portland, maine and had a lot to say about her struggles with various surgeons, though she tried to do it politely. the first inclusion was for me to note that more than 21,000 women were hired by union hospitals alone to provide all manner of relief services during the war. women were cooking. they were doing washing, they were feeding and helping bathe patients. they were delivering medicines, reading to patients, writing letters, some in places like armory square hospital where there was a piano available, some of them could play the piano and were singing with their patients, having their patients sing with them. they really helped people pass the time of day, in addition to providing these various domestic and custodial services. well, for more than a century after the war, those were trying to assess the work of such women and few historians were actually

that could be really devastating for them and the whole point about the rough across and i guess harriet kind of takes us into the next level of our conversation which has to be the way that the people on the other side of the border the gaza side of the border they live a life that really comes down to living under siege anyway. that's right i mean i can tell you one story that this the same psychiatry was telling to me this morning which really did for me encapsulate a lot of what's going on here about a secondary school teacher whose salary had been stopped by the palestinian authority for some weeks they blames technical difficulties but at last on thursday yesterday he got half of his march salary and now we're in early may that half of that what he got was immediately taken by the bank for his house loan he spent more than half of that on his bills supermarket bills and gas she was left with less than one hundred dollars after all of that and that coming late and the point of the doctor was making to me is that this is the man who is under immense strain and pressure and probably f
