the times of london 12 years before during the famine was saying things like, well, the irish had it coming to them. the famine was a visitation from god to punish these people. by 1860, the times had changed. it's true. amazing editorial that talked about, oh, we now must realize that we have the irish nation has moved from its old confines between the lithe and the shannon, has moved across to the greatest country in the world and is going to cause us no end of trouble in the future because they will want to replay the battles of the past. but they will do so from the most powerful -- and it will spread, he said, from boston and philadelphia, new york, right across to san francisco. and weren't they right? and it is true. there are those who argue that the flame of irish independence was kept alive here in the united states in the second half of the 19th century because any irish movement that wanted support, support was available in large quantities here in the united states. give you one example. douglas hite, the first president of the gaelic lead, set up in 1873 to revive the ir

that the reason why a lot of this popped up at the beginning coincidentally in the 1840s the time of the irish potato famine, that had nothing to do with discrimination based on religion ? >> i'm not saying that at all, the history is very complex . there's a press agreement and we wrote a book on this that both parties site which says that the complex history and there's good reasons and batteries. depends on thestate and i don't see . >> and you or could i say this. yes, race is different from religion. why? there is no establishment clause in regard to race. what is the establishment clause? well, it has something to do with not supporting religion. and there is nothing more religious except perhaps for the service in the church itself than religious education. that's how we create a future for our religions. now, there's some line there and that line may be well, i just ingested impermissible under case lawof this court . or it may be permissible unwise. you'd like to draw the line, explain it. >> i think we haven't talked about the analogies to lock at all and i like to saya few words abo

time. let's cross back over the atlantic again. sorry. so in the 1980s and'90s, an irish art historian named fintan cullen was undertaking a study of this painting, a portrait of richard st. george man sir st. george painted in about 1796. in 1992, this painting was sold to the national gallery of ireland from the third grade grandson of richard man sir st. george, and it was sold in 1992 and now graces the exhibit downstairs. before it arrived to us, it was actually on display in the hall of the largest portraits from the national gallery of ireland's collections, and fintan cullen undertook a study of this painting to understand what it was depicting and what its message was and what this painting is about is that in 1792 richard st. george's wife passed away, and this painting was commissioned by him of him standing at his wife's tomb with the latin phrase, not forgetful, not forgotten written at the top, inscribed at the top. so he was trying to understand the symbolism of what this painting could mean and that sort of thing. so it's interesting how there's parallel i

there was a time in the world that the pollacks came to america, the irish came to america, the italianshere some of them were not welcomed. and for some reason over time all of those differences disappeared. and whiteness began to be the standard of acceptance. and along with it, we now have what is called white privilege. well, you know, it's kind of silly to be judging people by the color of their skin. and, again, the presence of black wall street, the people who built black wall street proved that color does not have anything to do with character. and i think we are -- there has to be a rethinking of the american mind that whiteness is not the criteria for success. the american values that we embrace are more important. and the death of floyd was so impactful. people saw the death of this man, there is nothing about the color of his skin, was the humanity of it. and that is what we in greenwood would want to restore. this is not a black and white thing. we are a people -- >> thank you so much. >> as american as anybody else. >> thank you so much, jim goodwin, we really appreciate yo

irish for the moment. the result is scots or immigrants from scotland arrive at the same time, but they are arriving in a very distinct way. most of them arrive after 1763 and they arrive in large community groups, both lowland and highland. they concentrate in areas of upper new york, some in virginia, but particularly in the carolinas. there is a reasonable movement in what would be british north america as well. they are new. they are still emotionally and politically connected to britain. the relationship between scots immigrants and scots irish immigrants is a tricky one. they were banded together. they were very similar in the sense of religion. they were nearly all presbyterian's. people have moved from austere to north america. these are groups that have left scotland well over 150 years. some closer. in a sense, it really aren't scottish in the sense that the scottish immigrants are. they are really a different group. scott's live under a presbyterian church, a state church that prosecutes anglicans. most of the irish lived under an anglican church which prosecuted them. there is no urgency and scots

time. then in the 1960 s. and 1969 in particular we had a situation where there was coordinated loyalist attacks protectee on the catholic population in belfast 10. forced to flee their homes the irish army set up refugee camps along the border which put up the refugees in the north was striking about these attacks was that the r.u.c. the police actually took part in the attacks. at the time. so instead of preventing them they were active participants in the burning of whole streets in belfast at the time. june 1906 the gang attacked a small rural pope called the rock bar near kiddie. approaching the pope they shot a local man called mick mcgrath as he left the building. they then detonated a nail bomb which failed to explode. what was striking about this particular attack was that all those involved were members of the local police force the r.u.c. . on duty as the attack took place. and so many up and sentencing these police officers the lord chief justice went so far as to claim and i quote that they were trying to rid the land of pestilence but that's the kind of language that nazi shoes but use. a very important landmark for the campaign and 999 was the fact that we acquired th
