here's what du bois said about the atlantic slave trade. du bois wrote, the most magnificent drama in the last thousand years of human history is the transportation of 10 million human beings out of the dark beauty of their mother continent and into the newfound eldorado of the west. they descended into hell. he continued, it was a tragedy that beggared the greek. it was an upheaval of humanity like the reformation and the french revolution. well, i think dubois is exactly right. this is a stunning drama of human history, the atlantic slave trade. and i would ask you to notice his reference to eldorado, the mythic city of gold sought after by the spanish conquistadores when they came to mexico and peru. well, eldorado was finally found. not that actual city, but a slave system that would produce gold and wealth on a scale previously unimaginable. so it is a story about eldorado after all. now, i've said that the slave trade is a foundation of american history. i mean that in a very literal sense. slavery as an institution, the slave trade as

our subject for today is the atlantic slave trade. and the first thing i want to say about it is that we have a big subject, a tremendously important subject, and truly a difficult subject to deal with today. its importance lies in its relationship to the transformation of the world in the early modern era. by that, i mean essentially three things. first, the origins and the rise of capitalism around the atlantic beginning in the late 16th century and continuing thereafter to the present. secondly, the establishment of european dominance around the world. this is another major theme to custom the slave trade is connected. and then, finally, we are talking today about one of the very foundations of american history. america is the result of the meeting of three very old cultures. and you might say connents. people from europe, people from west africa, and people from native america. today we are going to talk about one of those three pillars. the african slave trade. now, i want to begin with a quote by a very eminent african-american s

is that the heart of this book but to really look at you who was communicating with him across the atlanticeople on both sides are talking about a product so school is communicating with whom and what are the boundaries so what i found is that it has channeled through those institutional mechanisms through private societies with a whole host of other voluntary organizations handling money back and forth communicating back-and-forth but the other piece of that is they are emphasizing places inside the empire. i expected i would find communications is not british protestants and then some communication to say german protestants are scandinavian. there is a little dead of that but the vast majority is channeled within the structure of the empire. so built around the empire , that emphasizes how much politics is determining the shape of what is going on. host: i'm curious of the political aspect what occurred to me the british government hits hard towards the empire especially with a seven-year war and they don't have to worry about the threat that they see themselves as an empire to trade back

but which resulted in this massive movement of humanity across the atlantic. if you want, by the way, that url is slavevoyages.org or go to any particular search engine and type in slave voyages, you'll go there. this is a web site that is free and open to the public, and you can do remarkable things with it. i would urge all of you to think about using it for research purposes. in any case, the latest findings of the transatlantic slave trade data base are that over this 3 1/2 centuries that i have mentioned, somewhere around the 10 to 10 1/2 million people were loaded on to slave ships. and somewhere between 8.8 and 9 million people were delivered alive on the western atlantic. you will note there's a very significant difference between these two numbers, a difference of about 1.4 million. those are the people who died along the way, whose bodies every morning on board a slave ship would be brought up from the lower deck and thrown over the rail to the schools of sharks that would follow the vessels all the way across the atlantic. so now, that's not the end

across the atlantic ocean. the first woman to cry fly across the atlantic nonstop. gust of 1932, she flies nonstop across the united states. so, she is rapidly becoming this leading aviator in the united states. after your hard flies across the united states, she solder airplane to the franken institute and in 1960, 60 airplane became available to the smithsonian institution and entered its collection. so the vega becomes the airplane of choice for record breakers. in 1931, wiley post, the oklahoma wildcat who loses an eye in an oil rig accident, he started flying. he chooses the vega. it is characteristic white and blue. he flies around the world with a navigator in 1931, and in eight days, in 1933, he flies around the world all by himself and seven and a half days. he starts learning these new phenomenon that aviators are going to become to know after world war ii. the jet stream. he gets an additional 120 miles per hour tailwind on this airplane as he's flying from the jet stream. he likes it because he's lying so high, he's experimenting. he's also the first indi

, looking further ahead, and we have to look at what's happening here across the other side of the atlantic course. that's going to miss the models up and complicate things as we head further afield. now, it does look like the high pressure is going to be pushing away and lower pressure will be heading our way on the atlantic. the details are likely to change because of all the disruption thrown into the atmosphere by all those storm systems on the other side of the atlantic. but there is a theme throughout the weekend, and next weekend and beyond, the weather looks like turning more unsettled with the chance of some rain across more of the country. goodbye.

ter tells her story of flying across the atlantic. and it's in another airplane, the lockheed electra that disappears in 1937. lockheed becomes synonymous with long-distance aircraft. but still it's a wood airplane. it's interesting to see the performance being pushed, which seem said court intuitive in terms of what the airplane is. it's looking towards the future in terms of its shape. if we look at the very dynamic period of inovation, we've seen a lot of airplanes merge, the vega is the first to represent the future and how it's going to become modern in the course of the 1930s. so, the vega, through pilots like amelia earhardt, they've ramped up the spectacle of flight. enthusiasm for the wonderful flights, in terms of flying across oceans, continents, the world. the next airplane, the boeing airplane is an example of a commercial airplane that embodies the new innovations and in this case, carrying passengers in the 1930s. it's one of the first modern airliners and one of the first modern airplanes overall when it's introduced in

and it suggesting before the revolution people on the both sides of the atlantic were british subjects and shared protestant empire. and that had previous kinds of connotations. on the one hand it was a political connotation so there's been a lot of scholarship about people using protestantism as a way to weave a policy together, group people together against catholics so that kind of political version but it also refers to religious institutions though the vast majority of organized religious life took place in the context of protestant institutions. and the dominant denominations across the empire were all transatlantic so they had people on both sides of the atlantic and lots of different places and they communicated with one another and that pulled empire together. so being a british protestant meant being part of a empire that was on both sides of the atlantic that was promoting protestantism and it meant something different than being part of a specific domination denomination. >> you use this lovely metaphor of a scaffolding to describe the experience. in the utah a little bit a

just a few months after lindbergh's flight across the atlantic in spirit of st. uis on july 4, 1927, the first lockheed vega takakeishos s to the air. like the one you see behind me. this airplane is a result of a self-taught intuitive designer named jack northrop and he had a deal what airplane should look like. like what you see behind me, there's no supporting braces or wires. you have internally supported wing on this radar. you also see a plywood fuselage. taking the heritage of the curtis r3-c racer before world war i, you have a fuselage that doesn't need internal bracing system as well as external bracing. his idea of a clean airplane is manifest in this. it also has a radial engine installed at the front of the airplane and metal fixed pitch propeller. the problem with the radial engine becomes a corner stone technology. you see on the spirit of st. louis, and seeing it here. the problem with the radial engine is that it's situated like a now erpetal at the front of this fuselage and equal to a model- t radiator on a car, it creates a lot of drag but the

because the storm clouds have been pulling their way east out into the sea, but if we look in the atlantichave a band of cloud that will bring rain in from the west tomorrow, but today the sun is out across many parts of the sun is out across many parts of the country and we have much drier weather around as well and the winds are quite light and it feels warm as well. not without one or two showers across england and wales, mainly focus to the north—east of england and the bulk of the heavy and developing thundery showers will developing thundery showers will develop in the north—east of scotland and we have more cloud coming in, butahead of scotland and we have more cloud coming in, but ahead of the cloud in the sunshine, temperature is higher today, 20 and the central belt of scotland and 23 is the high across eastern parts of england. still a few sharp showers during the evening and they will push away and then we look at all of the cloud coming in from the atlantic, and here it is overnight, thickening up in the west bringing rain into northern ireland by the end of the night and temp

he's done great work, as a public defender and director of the atlantic center. will talk about that for a minute. claire, i want to thank you too. i spent many wonderful evenings in the bookstore when i was in cambridge and appreciate this opportunity to talk to mark. as claire just said, 12 essays that mark has written about different aspects of the death penalty, about racism, about the lawyers assigned sometimes to defend people, about the judges who judge these cases other aspects of the book. before we talk about that, mark, i thought maybe i would ask you about your time as a public defender there in philadelphia and a lot of people may not realize how much the death penalty, how often it was [inaudible] at one time, how often it was imposed. the d.a., later the chief justice was there. maybe talk about that for a minute? >> sure, you know, philadelphia's been a hotbed of death penalty activity for decades really, and it started before ron castille. the prosecutor before him was ed rendell later the mayor and governor. after ron castille was abraham, a leg

banded the atlantic slave trade. there were not new enslaved people being brought into the country.laves in the u.s. in 1830, there were about 2 million slaves in the u.s. and in 1840, there were 2.5 million. so in the early 1800s, massive numbers of these people were moved south and west and what historians have come to describe as the second middle passage. this is a reference to the main middle passage which we've talked about, the transfer of people across the atlantic ocean in the bottoms of slave ships. 12 million people extracted from africa and transported to the americas. the second middle passage describes this massive movement of enslaved people into cotton-producing territory. between 1800 and 1860, an estimated 1 million people were moved into these territories. this is a contemporary image that is a representation of what was called a coffle. i don't know if you can read that, actually. it's basically the term that was used for a group of enslaved people chained together, forced to walk over long distance. this is a coffle that was being moved from virginia to tennesse

16 tipping points in the system like like as you say, greenland or the amazon or antarctica, or the atlantic circulation. and but 101015 years ago the scientific community was saying what the risk of crossing tipping points was probably much later in the century if we keep on emitting greenhouse gases, that the rates we are. and there was, there was a very low risk of, of crossing tipping points, you know, now, or in the next decade or so. and what we did in that analysis in 2019 was to go back to those 16. so tipping points and actually identify what's happening with the data on the ground right now in those places. and what we found out with 9 of them there undergoing unprecedented changes, you know, the data flooding back from, from greenland, from west antarctic ice sheet from the atlantic, from the boil force from korea. it is showing that they are undergoing unprecedented changes, which we can't say for certain they're going at tipping points right now, but it's certainly assigned for concern. and certainly there's a growing consensus that were much closer to tipping points than we tho

banned the import of enslaved africans through the atlantic slave trade. brought into the country. even after that the population continued to grow. in 1810 there were about 1.1 million slaves in the u.s.. in 1830 there were about 2 million slaves in the u.s.. an 1840 there are about 2.5 million. so in the early 1800s massive numbers of these people were moved south and west, and what historians have come to describe as the second middle passage. this is of course a reference to the, you know, the main middle passage, the first middle passage which we talked about. the transfer of people across the atlantic ocean, in the bottom's of slave ships, 12 million people extracted from africa, transported to the americas. the second middle passage describes this movement, massive movement of and slick people into contradicting territory. between 1800 and 1860, an estimated 1 million people were moved into these territories. this is a contemporary image this representing a representational of what was called a cough. it is a critical term for us. i don't know if yo

as a result, basically the atlantic slave began here because the cuban people were among the first who would be enslaved. he grew up in a family that were slave owner. he became a monk. as he prepared a sermon, he became convicted according to writings that the enslavement of the people was wrong, although culturally cuban people were different and considered barbaric, at least in his eyes, and according to scripture as he read it, they were equal amongst europeans. so he became where he was once an adversary to the cuban people or enslaved people, he then became an advocate, he would start writing to king charles. this is known as history of the destruction of the indians where he was documenting to king charles and appealing to them to release the slavery of the people. eventually they did. this is where they started using africans, bringing blacks from the atlantic and enslaving those people as well. another article which documents what cary talked about, we have the bibles, we know the english europeans came and brought king james bible and geneva bible. but we have a spanish bible
