she and my grandfather for many years there is a black women's school in north carolina and greensboro where they lived was fabled for students it ends but in the course of the interview she talks about voting rights but not 1920 at all. but 18 fifties because the 19 fifties and 19 sixties because the story was women who wed knock on doors and do that work to get black americans on the voter rolls. and that was the story she would have me tell so the book comes through 1965 which is a think it should arrive back with the voting rights act that those like my grandmother get the vot vote. >>host: we will come back to that but the fact that she wanted to talk about 55 versus 1920 is the reason why the book exist but when did you know you word include the memoir of this personal story at the beginning of your book? and why as a historian? >> a long time ago i went to law school and i was trained by people in the field of critical race theory and one of the things they made into legal scholarship was to give us the latitude when we couldn't find our own narrative to introduce stuff through

this is driven by state and local officials nobody in charlotte or greensboro voted for the people innew york city or san francisco or albany. these elected officials are trying to draft national policy and even when the federal regulators get it right the states actors can come in and try to dictate national commercial legislation for state and local purposes. >> pretty amazing from the manhattan institute james copeland talks about the four areas he talks about in his book elected - - unelected that was a challenge to the federal drug laws convicted under federal law not state law growing marijuana in his backyard i wasn't selling it i was growing it but you had to buy seeds in arguably it could affect the drug trade itself. the president had the same basic logic where the farmer was using his own crops for his own use on his own farm and the federal government said no you have to follow the agricultural regulatory scheme but the supreme court let that go. it's a pretty broad rule. i do think there are two conceptual issues. one of course is the contractual issue itself and while co

they tend to live in the suburbs, metro areas, raleigh durham, greensboro, winston-salem, charlotte.e attention, tv campaigns. the other major demographic that you want to look at is the latino population. i have been there a good while, and the latino population has at least increased tenfold in my service. the new census could show 12% latino population, and they vote at lower rates than the rest of the population, but there is a major effort to turn them out. i would identify those as two categories of voters that are probably moving toward us if we do it right. that might justify that center-center designation. david: is it clear which way the latino population might break? they tend to be more conservative in social values but maybe not in other ways. david p.: this is not mainly cuban-americans but people from central america, people that knowevery reason to how donald trump's view of them is and how his policies are affecting them. we have been targeted, unfortunately, for a lot of indiscriminate raids, policies that have people upset. the latino community has been pretty well

again, i have seen an archeological site outside of greensboro where you could see there's a confederate position of local confederate soldiers who had conventional muskets like this and they were facing a much, much smaller union or federal cavalry unit. and you can tell that this tiny cavalry unit held off a much lighter confederate infantry unit because the cavalry soldiers had revolvers like this and spencer carving. you can tell what is happening because you could see these cartridges left on the ground that were about three inches under the dirt so you could see how effective the massive firepower coming from cartridge car beam and cartridge revolver. faye reminds me that cold, even though a great inventor, held back invention in america for decades because of his path and writes. he patented this revolver actually and nobody else could really use it unless they bought a patent or the infringed on the patent. so he held it back. a much better pistol came out during the same time, which was this one. i'm not going to illustrate this. this is a riminton revolver, the second most use

"the wall street journal" reports that according to the study, researchers estimate an extra 3,200 cases a day occurred in the u.s. that likely wouldn't have happened had schools kept classes online. the manuscript has yet to be peer-reviewed to determine whether college reopenings influenced case counts in the larger community. the researchers used cell phone gps tracking data to look at the movements of people and calculated the infection rates of the surrounding county from mid-july to mid-september before and after students showed up. we'll be following those numbers. and trick or treat probably won't have the same ring to it over zoom. what are we going to do over halloween? the cdc released its recommendations for halloween yesterday and the biggest one is to avoid trick-or-treating. the agency offered alternative ideas ranked from low risk to high risk to keep the spirit of the holiday alive. the ideas include stay-at-home pumpkin carvings or a socially
