i said tongue-in-cheek, we were unitarian. and he rolled his eyes. i had a wonderful opportunity. coincidentally the universe provided, i was working at the jewish community library. i have resources to the staff, to the collections, two people. any question i had , and my job was to read books for the book club in a box program. all day, every day i was sitting and reading about the jewish experience . every form and variation and every geographical place. it was a crash course in judaism. everything i had not been taught as a young person , i was filling up the reservoir and understanding and having a particular perspective. as i say, i did not have it to begin with , but i was growing , somewhat similar. >> believe it or not we just have one minute left in our conversation. i am wondering for anyone who might be listening or know somebody in their world, in their particular state of discovery, what is one thing you might suggest to somebody who finds themselves discovering that they are jewish . >> i would say to celebrate that heritage. what a marvelous heritage. how lucky we

i'm trying to posthumously turn him into some kind of conventional christian or a unitarian crusader.e was not that. but if is naturally something, then it's incumbent on us as historians try to figure out what he meant and the first exposure to slavery. we believe he arguably saw slave transport, traffic on the cumberland road. he would have been his parents were part of emancipation churches. we all know about the trips to new orleans and that encounter and so i believe him i take him at his word because also the moment he's politics even in the state legislature, he's part of the protest that is being anti-slavery. and it was him and a guy who was leaving the legislature go to an appointment as a judge. so he didn't anything to lose. lincoln still had something to lose. and that's and then, of course, when he goes to washington he stays at a house that was known as mrs. spriggs house which was known as an abolition house on carroll. and so at a certain point, the evidence leads you to ask the question, well, hell, maybe he actually believed this. and, you know, and it was not again

i think probably, he died as the kind of unitarian with a dosed of new england transcendental in those of parker. i believe there's no doubt that the interest in this part of human experience informed what i'm doing. part of it is taking something seriously for what they say, and lincoln talked about this, as you know, a lot. , some of it was conventional rhetoric for a given moment, but all of its would-be. and so in the panoply of human experience, in the mix of things in our hearts in mind and soul that lead us ultimately to make the decisions we make, religious feeling, philosophical feeling, a sense of what the right thing is, what we are called to do, plays a role. not always, decisive but it plays a role. say why economic interests always play a role, but it's decisive. it's big, complicated people. and lincoln was as devoid as big, inconsistent, brave men. we are all inconsistent. i think what is remarkable is lincoln was so big and so brave. >> you only have to be a realist person -- you can be an atheist and still enjoy it and get a great deal out of this particular book. i k

this is a key unitarian issue for us right now. this is the survival issue that we are discussing sanctions and a legal pressure on the terrorist country. russia, russia needs, do not hold to behold, held the common to both for everything it does against against our people. against europe in free world, and it is very important that we have a piece formula. and for that, we offer a very specific steps what america can do to help us to implement that global formula for the system is i'm thankful for our american counterpart that they feel us and understand how important it is due to us that they of course and work on the integrity of the international rule of law. we will also need as soon as our defense capabilities will be strengthened in the next few months. i don't want to discuss it in details right now. i believe you understand why and i, but i am very grateful to a president by them. thank you for your attention to all of these issues. glory to your grade. thank you very much. we're going to take questions from florida for re

we had a unitarian boarding school. and we had eight days schools later starting at about 1904.he co-students that went to carlisle, had definitely picked up m fascination and i have studied them. learned about their data. in a general sense it is difficult to get to the stories of women and children because typical histories don't always get tohe faces and voices of men and women. they often follow politics and economics. but my historical research that s shown there are many moving parts, fortunately in the case of carlisle, there is a digital resource center. and that center provides basic data on all the students who were enrolled. i was able to find outho the students were. i found out that three of our students passed away are buried there. i found that 17 were discharged for serious illness, many of whom, almost all of whom, died within a year or two of their return to the reservation. i have the advantage of having been able to interview cldren of carlisle students. in conducting interviews to understand what the condions at carlisle were. careful investigation is what i
