and i put them in this culture in the 1850s because the reason that harriet beecher stowe "uncle tom's cabin"ade such an impact, it was aairly simple thing. it showed enslaved people were human beings with rl feelings, family feelings, religious feelings, with the sense of humor, with a love of music today to us tt sense the old-fashioned or to tnk about at, but enslaved people were being treated as things come as property. legally they were property. they were not reall human beings. all of thisas supported by the pseudoscience of that era, some of which said tha african people were of a a different species and so forth. paula genesis, the was some of that going on and was all kind of pseudo-scientifically and even religiously supported by supposedly the curse of ham in the bible a all that stuff. lincoln contracted that in the pure speech and says these are humans. enslaved people are felw humans beings. even to say that he doe't go on and on about bute says that's a fundamental point of view. in the sense even thoh he progresses, he doesn't really move beyond the basic fundamental u

you originally thought he was an uncle tom, but you changed your view, i guess?ton: yes, because it is hard for later generations to understand the challenges of earlier generations, norms, things of show business. what louis armstrong did, it doesn't mean -- now i understand more of his genius and who he was and what he played, but it still doesn't mean when i look at the movies he made, the positions he went, i don't necessarily like that. i don't like where black people are in any american movies of the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's. as a matter of fact, some of it now, a lot of it now has that same type of destructive mythology. if you consider the fact that when i was a teenager, the heroic figure for black youth in movies were pimps. what is it for a pimp to be a hero, the top of your mythology? to not get sidetracked, i thought that. but later i understood who louis armstrong was as a musician. that's a totally different story. he was a genius of such magnitude, you could lie about how great he was and you would not say enough. david: you are a composer, as w

she was very proslavery and was so agitated by the book "uncle tom's cabin" that she wrote her own in answer to this. and so that had to have been controversial. it's more interesting when you consider that harriet beecher stowe herself lived in the same part of elite elmira society. one wonders what those conversations were like. one of the more interesting figures in elmira was the commandant henry colt. he also is kind of on the injured reserve, if you will. he was with a new york regiment and he had been injured in battle. they put him on duty in elmira to run the p.o.w. camp. it's interesting when you look at the memoirs, the vitriol is quite thick. and some of that, i think, is guided by the controversy over andersonville at the time, but what is really interesting is, although they have terrible things to say about the conditions and the food at elmira, especially the winters, they love this man. love this man. and in the memoirs of anthony kylie, they talk about how humane and kind that this man was. so he's their jailer. and they write in their memoirs about how terrible a pl
