well, the central people from the early stages of themom elizabeth cady stanton would be one susan b anthony, lucy stone. and then you really spread out very fast because it's a movement that spread very fast. and it only was a long time in coming because men wouldn't say yes the decisions were always going to be made by men who had a monopoly on the political power and they were resisting it. they did not want women to have the vote. so it's a constant hammering away at the issue and i think one of the significant things about the centennial is that for all the flaws in this amendment. w men, you cannot presume to be in charge. soledad: interestingly, i think if you were to just run out in the street and poll americans today, right, and say 19th amendment most wouldn't even know what it was. but those who did would say women got the right to vote. talk to me a little bit about who was left out of that amendment. marcia: well, i mean women of color broadly were left out of that amendment in the sense that when the 19th amendment is passed barriers to voting are already implemented in the sou

[cheering] since 1992, my organization has proudly borne the name of susan b anthony. compatriots understood something important, that the rights of women extend to the rights of their children, born and unborn. [cheering] written in the revolution, susan b anthony's newspaper that she published and funded was this, "the actual burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in the grave. but thrice guilty is the one who drove her to the dreadful deed." alice paul knew what we know, that unborn life must be conjoined with the rights of women, and that abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women. i would like for you to assess conjoined with the rights of the beautiful spot on which you stand, every successful human rights movement in american history has found itself at a time such as this. we, like our civil rights friends and sisters, and activists before us will use the tools of democracy to right the worst wrongs that plague our society and form a more perfect union through the power of the pro-life movement.

susan b anthony. that is probably the best-known example. yes. >> i read this book. i love this book. i had a great time reading this book. one of the things i learned was there was a moment when reparations happened. people actually got 40 acres and a mule. and then we [bleep] it up. i wonder if you talk a little bit about how that happened. >> sorry c-span. you are absolutely right. [laughter] you are absolutely right that in the wake of the civil war, and while the civil war was still going on, there were programs in the south for land redistribution. many african-american leaders put this out there is the number one priority. what they could do for generational lasting economic sustainability was to have some land to farm and to pass down. also create a building block, et cetera, once there was suffrage. this had started. parcels of land, many thousands of acres of land redistributed by the bureau. president johnson stopped it and came in and put an end to it. the republicans had a super majority in congress and were able to pass a lot of legislation which was ki

white women had a bad moment there, a faction of white women like elizabeth Ãand susan b anthony. probably the best known example. >> i read this book i love this book i had a great time reading this book. >> one of the things i learned is there was little moment when reparations happened people got 40 acres and a mule but then we sucked it up and i wonder if you could talk a little bit about how that happened. >> sorry c-span. you are absolutely right. [ [laughter] you're absolutely right that in the wake of the civil war and even while the civil war was still going on, there were programs in the south for land redistribution and this was understood, many african american leaders put this out there as the number one priority that what they could do for generational lasting economic sustainability was to have some land to farm and to pass down. it would also create a voting block etc. once there was suffrage. but actually suffrage became an easier concession because, i think, it was so easy to take away and practice. tragically easy to tickle and practice. the idea was, we give th

. >> as susan b. anthony said "failure is impossible." so ieel comfort will get the equal rights amendment into the constitution.th e are still some procedural hurdles. the deadline i talker about earls put in by congress. in fact it was 1979, and then they extended it to 1982. congress can now remove the deadline. and there are two bills already pending in the current congress to remove that deadline-- one in the spouse, jackie spierses' bill, and another bipartisan bill to integrate the three states we already have, nevada, illinois, and notice virginia. >> woodruff: you're calling is a procedural challenge here, procedural issues. but even if you can get the deadline issue clarified, there are still other potential problems out there, thrn i mean, there are still people making the political argument that the e.r.a. is going to be more harmful for women than helpful. >> a lot of those old arguments against thequal rights amendment have now gone away, have now died. the 1970s, for example, they used to say that women military.to serve in

somebody said, he will put susan b anthony in the cabinet. >> that would be good.gave a speech in kids' saint now that the battle between freedom and slavery is over. the next one is labor versus capital. he is the only american quoted in volume one" that speech here's a look even in america people have seen the struggle. so a lot of people did want him to become president. they did not want wade to become president. so in the end, by one vote. seven republicans vote to acquit and that leads to them feeling by one vote to remove johnson from office. before we go to question and answer, let me just ask you, there is a very vivid description in the book of the proceedings themselves and the trial because usually when people write about this, the actual or what actually happened in the senate is fascinating. and you explain this very well. >> for those people who think that reading transcripts of the congressional record is dull. it is really like theater. it's like reading place. you might as well be reading, o'neill or something. in the trial was like that. it was t
