by tend of the week, an estimated 200 students had taken part in the greensboro sit-ins. the greensboro demonstrations are not the first time african-americans protested discrimination at lunch counters or other eating facilities in this way. but what separated these sit-ins from those that came before was what followed. these protests in greensboro inspired others to sit-in, to march, to pick et, the organize -- picket, to organize, to boycott and in some cases to be abused and beaten. it turned into an inspired assault on racial practice throughout the south. the sit-ins had become a movement. by the end of february 1960, some 30 cities in seven different states had sit-in protests including our very own nashville. a month later, after two months, 48 cities and 11 states had sit-ins take place. in all, an estimated 50,000 people eventually took part in the sit-in movement of 1960. the number a arrested for their courageous actions would eventually reach into the thousands. so that's the scene that i set up at the beginning of the book, and then the project of the book i

it was this horrible episode in greensboro. it ultimately, i think, in the '90s, resulted in the truth and reconciliation process that serves as a model or should serve as a model for the orangeburg massacre which has never been fully investigated by the state of south carolina which remains a festering wound. cleve was working for the city at the time and he helped organize about a year after the violence or sometime after the violence a rally and the authorities were terrified that the rally would go south and be violent. he helped put it together and convince everybody. he was involved in that. greensboro, a black power anti-colonialism worldly effort to further the cause of black power and black identity. he then went on to pursue a career in academia. he taught as a lecturer at cornell. at harvard he taught in a few places. then he came back to south carolina. he did a stint at chapel hill. then when he came back to south carolina he eventually got a job with the university of south carolina and ran the program for 10 year

in greensboro in '63, we were marching.in greensboro for inciting a riot-- just a trumped-up charge. - i mean, so many people in life are born with a lot of potential. oi mean, so many in life hear about god, and he's one of the few people i know who's always felt that god believed in them, and he's wanted everyone else to understand that god believes in them too. my father had a career choice. he cetween the duke university school of law and the chicago theological seminary at the university of chicago. reverend doctor samuel dewitt proctor, who was the president of north carolina a&t state university when my father and mother matriculated, and re"jrend proctor said, sie, "you know you can talk. you know you can think, ou know you care for people, "and the ministry is the best place for you. we still need to make this world right." - a lot of people haven't heard reverend jackson preach at church. this man is brilliant. he's a brilliant theologia - all i know, for the record, is that i once was lost, and now i'm found. i o

california 13 is a district i'd look at as well because that's greensboro but also north carolina. >>ear they could. >> this race is a culture clash between these two candidates. polar opposite personalities. >> the financial potential bellwether in virginia is the biggest stretch for democrats. it's virginia's fifth. they've caught a few breaks in this district in particular. it used to be a swing district, but then it got redrawn to protect it for republican, and lo and behold it's a battle ground. >> it is. and it's an open seat. it's probably most famous for the fact the republican has been a big foot hobbyist on the side. >> be careful. that is not safe for work google. that's all i will tell you, just be careful for your google. >> that's right. if democrats are winning here, a district trump won by digits, it means they have to be very optimistic by some of the open seats trump won. florida's 15th district is an example of that. that's a place where we'll also get some early votes. if democrats are winning these, it'll be a big night. >> this was the heart of trump's victory in

upon moving to greensboro, he subsequently left. so that wasn't necessarily my best choice. but we had a long and fruitful time once he decided to come back. since that time, he's been one of my great advocates and a good friend. he is among the most talented historians that you will hear on any subject matter. pete is a professor of civil war studies and director of the civil war institute. he is the author and editor of four books. personified: the generalship of robert e. lee and one of my favorites, "the last virginian." the university of north carolina published it in 2005. he has published numerous articles in popular journals, speaks frequently to popular and scholarly audiences. and every june, as some of you know, he directs the civil war institute's summer conference at gettysburg college that draws over 300 attendees across the country and i can assure you it's one of the premier events that we have in the nation every year. soon to be released in the fall of 2018 is his book "the war for the common soldier," part of the history of the civil war series. it pursues

and so i want to close, you know, by saying after teaching 40 years at bennett college in greensboro, north carolina, people ask me, reverend harpton, do i miss teaching, and i tell them, well, i miss my students. but i have an opportunity to teach here in the congress each and every day. because sometimes we don't know what we don't know and what we need to know. so i want to close to repeat a quote that i believe drives home the point of what we're fighting for and it says that slavery is one of the worst forms of violence as in the denial of education. and education is key to liberating children from slavery. and now we know throughout our shared history that this was literally true. but it also relates to a slavery we still fight for today more than ever. it's a slavery of poverty. poverty is one of our society's greatest deals in a nation of so much. it's a shame to have so many with so little. it's even more of a shame for some of our lawmakers to literally blame those in poverty for their circumstance. you are not your circumstance. you know, poverty hinders progress and it des
