he is buried with full military honors in liberia. i'm sorry. he is buried with full military honors in nigeria, but the african-american community campaign for over a year to return him back to the united states. so he has two funerals, one in new york, one in d.c. his funeral is declared a national holiday by the african-american community. over 1000 people lined the streets to attend his service. in 1923, this image down here, it is held in arlington's amphitheater and was larger than the ceremony of the unknown soldier that was held i think right after world war i. the pride that charles young represented goes to the point where they celebrated charles young day at hbcu's well into the 1960's. so when thinking about the legacy, what it means, military service, what it meant to have a soldier who understood that when he served he was serving for race and country, this is the legacy that young left behind. so what does it take to make people keep fighting against inequalities despite all the odds? it is the deep-rooted internal strength and ho

and these small countries out there which are basically flags of convenience, liberia is not going toout there and the police a fishing trawler in the pacific and modify its behavior. the other important point that has just been raised is that the law of the sea is not subscribed to by the united states. there is your answer. countries that have the capability to actually have high seas fishing trawlers fishing fleets, the countries that have deep sea mining may very well be a very minor part of the picture at the moment, in the future what happens, i don't know. those are problems of the major countries and i think i can understand why hawaii colleagues are hesitant to name names or focus on one country or another but that will not change the reality of the incredible power a few countries have to create a problem and control it. and without those, no one said that senegal is a problem, no one said that south africa is a problem. with the high seas, there is a small cast of characters and unless we focus on those -- laura: let's let others jump in. will: it is a small number of count

to go move to liberia or what's now panama? can you help us unpack this very bad horrible day in the reputation of abraham lincoln. was there anything contextually about the time the place who he met? that would mitigate this really sort of ugly scene. yeah, so this is one of these moments i i think in the book i call it like something like one of the most regrettable moments of the lincoln presidency as a lincoln scholar. there are two things that if i could go back in time and say hey don't do that. it would be what he said at the charleston debate with stephen douglas in 1858 about social equality. and then this moment in august of 1862, and so the context is that in the summer of 1862 lincoln has decided to issue an emancipation proclamation and william seward persuade him to wait until there's a victory on the battlefield because the war has been going badly for the union in the spring and summer of 62 the peninsula campaign which went right through where i am here and newport news, virginia was a disaster for the union an

we are not africans we are not going to liberia or sierra leone that was set up for africans capturedon ships. and then library of course set up by the colonization society to free the african-americans to go back. they were not from liberia by and large and very few of the ancestors by 25 percent we know because of the amazing database and then 25 percent of the ancestors came from gambia which was heavily muslim and those that came from congo angola into amazing things that i learned that historians argue about the percentage but that is the figure given by he would that about 20 percent were muslims when they got on the boat. >> i did not know that until i read the book. >> i told the story in the book and i interview one of his descendents and he left behind the manuscript and how to find mecca and pray to the east and the first black church and then to argue about the first black church but the first african baptist church in savannah in 1773 there is a great scene in the film where to interpret and being carved into one of the pews.

meant to some degree that people would be freeing their enslaved people so that they could go to liberia nevertheless washington gathered them and said, look, i'm not going to do that and in part that was because he was struggling for money. basically. he had inherited mount vernon, which was basically on the brink of well, it was a money loser. let's say and he didn't really have the means that george washington had used to keep mount vernon going and also bush road washington was a lawyer and not a businessman of any skill so he had a harder time with that anyway, so, of course eventually he sold some of his enslaved people in part to be able to pay debts and such and this really enormous criticism because of course one he was a city supreme court justice too. he was george washington's nephew. how could he do such a thing? and he wrote a public letter. it kind of a defensive slightly guilty letter in which he said. well, look, i tried hard not to break up people's families and but you don't understand all the problems that i have because of the financial position that i'm in. um, it's

in liberia, when liberia decided to reimagine its relationship with the united states, they created a commission to look at history and the history that have been received in the country. the cold air was repair -- goal. was repair -- the goal there was repair. is the goal here repair? >> repair, perform, -- reform. >> all of the above? >> i think all of the above. i wonder if we can reach out -- retail --retell -- >> dr's --the r's seem to have it. we haven't reconciled with these things so we have commissions to celebrate history and do commemorations but we don't often have commissions to explore and interrogate the history. hope springs eternal on that one. >> we need to stop thinking of history as a celebration. the issue is to celebrate this and i can remember -- when -- ever going to celebrate the civil war and someone said what do you want to talk about something that killed 40,000 young men from south carolina? what is the celebration about? it is like someone wishing a veteran happy's --happy memorial day. that history is not pleasant. history was made by human beings and we
