in 1854, it was trapped in the ice. they had spent two winters in the arctic. their supplies were running low and the expedition commander decided it was time to abandon the icebound vessel. under protest and with some ceremony, the resolute was abandoned on may 15, 1854 in the ice of melville sound. in september 1855, she was found by an american hoiles ship -- whale ship. she had drifted nearly 1500 miles away from where she had been left. the captain knew of the resolute, the expedition and the abandonment and thought, safe delivery of this ship to some port could be profitable. first, they had to prepare her to sail. she was listing badly to her portside. she still had some ice attached. it took several weeks to pump out the water and resume and even kill. the captain divided his crew between the two ships, departed in our sober, and their trip home was very challenging. the resolute was missing her topmast. she was poorly rigged and they repeatedly ran into bad weather. finally, they arrived in new london, connecticut on christmas eve of 1855. the suggesti

in tennessee in 1866., but the confederate flag was not usable with the first incarnation of the flag in the 1860s and 70s. nor, could i find it in the second clan that was born after the film, birth of a nation, founded on stone mountain in 1915, and thrived in the south and midwest, into the 1920s. the u.s. flag. in the christian cross were the primary civil speak this was the earliest use of the flag i have been able to find. the earliest graphic use. this is not a clan march. this was the confederate memorial day march in atlanta in 1939. they were interlopers. gill and other editors excoriated them for involving themselves in this march, and tarnishing the confederate flag with her presence. but, by 1946, i think it was, when this was published in life magazine, the confederate flag had become part of the ritual of the third clan. you see it along with its hangman's noose, the christian cross, the bible, the american flag, and the confederate flag. but, from this point on, the clan more or less took o

in memphis on that day in 1968? >> well, he was in memphis, because he had been called by one of his good, close friends, jim lawson, the reverend jim lawson, who was helping to organize sanitation workers in memphis, tennessee, who were on strike for a living wage. so king starts going there in march and giving some speeches. and one time during the visit, one of the demonstrations turns violent. not because of the demonstrators who were part of the organized civil rights activism, but because of outliers, young people in the city who are very, very frustrated, and they smashed some windows, and king is determined to return to memphis to have a rally that is peaceful, because people are very critical, critics are saying if he can't lead a peaceful rally in memphis, how can he come down to washington, d.c., and do this camp-in and this tent city that they're talking about as part of the poor people's campaign. so he was in memphis because by '68, king is convinced that, one, the vietnam war is this immoral, illegal

in three weeks. keep that in mind in proportion to our other wars.hat's about half the total who were killed in korea. approaching half the total killed in all of vietnam. so the time that we were there at the front, we were involved in very heavy fighting from spring to the fall of 1918. >> staying on that topic for a second, some more numbers to throw at you. about 4.7 million american soldiers served in world war i, as we said about 117,000 deaths. that's about 53,000 battle deaths, another 63,000 other deaths, classified as other deaths. explain what those other deaths would be. >> well the other deaths would have been from disease, they would have been from different forms of sickness, accidents, things like that. that happen in the course of any military operation. so those things were always going on behind the lines. here's something important to keep in mind. and those in the audience who have ancestors in the war will understand what i'm saying. gas casualties, poison gas casualties were vastly underreported. many tens of thousands of men g

a car no police officers died in these attacks no civilians died in these attacks in the aftermath all but one of the attackers was killed by the security services so you could say that this was not particularly sophisticated in its execution and not particularly successful either the lead a chechnya rams i'm good dear of has said that they were. basically young people that have their minds perverted by eisel and indeed in the aftermath of this attack or these this series of attacks i still through its media channels has claimed responsibility now then pope francis has condemned what he calls the atrocities of child sex abuse in the catholic church and the years of cover ups in the open letter to the world's one point two billion catholics he wrote with shame and repentance we acknowledge isn't it clean zeal community that we were not where we should have been we did not act in a timely manner realizing the magnitude of the gravity of the damage done to so many lives we showed no care for the little ones we abandoned them. he goes on it's essential that we as a church should be able to

it was forced in the sense that the catholic church were pervasive in ireland, and were in control ofm the government. so it was down to social attitudes that this was happening. that is very different. if you talk about forced adoptions, people have in their head the idea of a baby being wrenched from someone. i mean, we're not talking about that. we are, we are. i literally know women whose babies were taken out of their arms, crying and begging for their babies to be given back. i know women who went back to mother and baby homes and adoption agencies looking for their babies back, and they were told their babies had died, they were adopted, they'd gone to america. it was forced adoption. the point i would make is that the church was a very formidable organisation in ireland, which vetted all social legislation in advance, which essentially co—wrote the irish constitution. we have a situation i know, as well, you would like to change, where adoption records are sealed. when you came to look for your mother, as you started to do at the age of 15, but it took years and years before y

companies operating in in china.ing at pain at data.ges of the looking ahead to china's foreign reserves, to you think we will see that? we can see where chinese foreign reserves stand, in terminal library. the trade balance, $39 billion, the prior was $41.5 billion. what do you think? iris: this shows, first of all, no massive capital outflows. secondly, because people always think that the pboc has intervened in the fx market, if that is so, then the foreign reserves should fall a lot, and we have not seen that. havect think the pbo intervened in fx market since july. having said that, we have to realize the new pboc governor has a different style from the previous one, so he is more pro-market. i do think that yi gang, after that kind of warning signal, i limitay, the market will speculative activities. but i do think some cooperation -- corporations will continued to hedge. we will not see a 100 degree turn from a yuan depreciation to appreciation, so hedging activities will still go on, even with higher costs. i

the women helped in the increase in enrollment of women in schools. the increase in recruitment of female law professors. the development of curriculum that had a focus on women, family and children. the slow increase in the number of women recruited as associated in law firms. the slow increase in the number of women making partner. a figure which does not today make most of us happy. they brought discussions to their firms in the government about how those organizations could be more family friendly. several trail blazers introduced the idea of child care leave to their firms. pay for child care and flex time. these women helped us along with carter and others to increase the number of women in upper level of government. there was an increase in the number of women serving on the federal bench. if we look at the contributions of this particular group of women, we see that several were involved in the establishment of ngos or public legal interest groups that focus on legal issues of women and their families, including the two here in d.c. there was

the in the watergate break in."ject to the rule of law. accordingly one begins with the premise if there is sufficient evidence mr. nixon should be indicted and prosecuted. at this point, the grand jury had already named richard nixon as unindicted conspirator in the watergate cover-up. that had happened months before while he was still president. but no sitting president had then or has now ever been charged with a crime. a lot of legal experts don't even think it's allowed at least under current doj rules. back in 1974, once nixon resigned, once he was no longer a sitting president, watergate prosecutors did aggressively chew on that question whether or not they would going to indict him. they debated what to do for weeks. there was a big public debate about it for weeks until that got cut off when the new president decided for them. ob september 8th, 1974, a month after nixon resigned, gerald ford issued a full, free and absolute pardon of any crimes that nixon might have committed in office thus erasing any chan

the wright amendment was repealed in the 20 beginning, beginning in 2006 and then finally in 2014, the last remnants of the wright amendment were repealed. it did have a major impact in this area for a long time, and it is one of his signature pieces of legislation. in terms of the airline industry and air traffic into the area, this is something that we get a lot of research or requests to see these files and to see how that bill came about. one of the things about jim wright as speaker is that he wanted to expand the role of the speaker in american politics and american diplomacy. in 1987, he actually took a trip to the soviet union, and he is pictured here -- he is on the left. his wife, betty, is in the center. and there is mikael gorbachev. he went to the soviet union to meet with leaders there. he also wanted to speak directly to the soviet people and encourage diplomacy between the two nations. he received a lot of correspondence from citizens of the soviet union at the time. those are in the papers. a lot of that correspondence is here. the reaction that speaker wright got from

an attack that killed forty children in yemen last week was made in the u.s. according to media reports there has been growing calls from politicians in washington to track american made weapons that are being used in what they call a war crimes in the middle east's poorest country the u.s. is the main supplier of farms to the u.a.e. and saudi arabia and provides logistical and intelligence support to their military campaign in yemen and gallacher joining us from washington d.c. first of all has there been any reaction from the u.s. has the u.s. commented on the origin of this particular bomb in that incident in yemen last week . not yet but what we're talking about is that august the ninth bombing of a school board in which more than fifty people were killed forty of them children and this comes down to one thing for the united states and that is culpability what we're seeing is a growing body of evidence that these weapons used in these attacks by the coalition are in fact made here in the united states some of the pictures we're seeing on social media some

in fact, there was only one woman also included in those 65 artists in figan show. i get the sense of the discriminatory nature of the high art establishment, even up until the 1980s. but argue, even up until today. but i want to and with this work, specifically, because of arnold's involvement at the time, when he produced this work at the same time as figan show. he was involved in a -- art center, as well as an artist in residence at art and soul. a collaborative art space in north lawndale, initiated by the nda chicago in an unusual partnership with cbl, or the conservative vice lords. a new manifestation of the westside gangs. the artist doing -- northwestern faculty member has written extensively on arnold's connection on art and soul. in some ways, this work, photo collages commenting on gender sexuality based in politics. despite being included in figan's show, demonstrate how focused and in some ways limited, my inquiry is. in other words, i am looking at predominate -- predominately -- predominately white male artists and established collections. yet, it s
