about nativert americans, but also about americans generally and american culture. we have become intrigued by how native american imagery is used broadly in the american culture. so, on the walls in this gallery you will see many depictions of native american people, native american designs. we literally use it as wallpaper to make the point that at the same time indians are everywhere in the popular culture, but remain unknown to most people here in the united states. >> you think the average american has a sense of how often we see these images in our everyday lives, in the products that are purchased at the store and the services and companies that are out there? >> i don't think they do. because it as wallpaper, it is background. if you are native, you do notice it. you see it everywhere. we know what is real as a phenomenon, we also know most people don't experience it that way. >> but at the images of native americans generally meant to portray and show when they are used in these products, in companies advertising their services? >> that is a good question.

native americans, african americans. so until you stop segregation, you have no business telling us about being violent or how to control our minorities. wasure -- heto photographed at black churches in d.c. praying and singing with african-americans and talking about how their plight and their suffering really helped him understand who americans truly were despite their browbeating all over the world as purported neutrals who were also morally superior. what we see is that the question ofrace will already be part this diplomatic tug-of-war. the germans will do the same. it will return. what wee united states get from the very beginning of the war are a lot of the same kinds of concerns that had been weighing heavily on european empires that we've been talking about. so what were some of those concerns? that their own countries were full of dissidents who could set outplace ablaze by pointing the fissures in american society. hence our first picture here. what are we looking at? of therotesting in front white house, dema

the american civil war. the 13th amendment, which abolished slavery, 1865, the 17th amendment, correction, 14th amendment, 1868, gave african-americans citizenship. the 15th amendment, 1870, gave african-american men the right to vote. 1866, reorganization act, made african-americans a permanent part of the military. the era of reconstruction, uptick in the life and progress of african-americans. ,hen you get to world war i there is not this idea we want to put african-americans on the battlefield because what happened after the civil war? there was an uptick. there was a fear to not arm large groups of african-americans. push wasrld war i, the to use african-americans largely in services of supply roles. two african-american divisions. i also want to talk about the first interpretation, when you talk about what was setting the stage, when you walk in the exhibition, the first interpretation has three conversations going on. between w.e.b. dubois. a conversation between the president of the u.s., woodrow wil

the americans did so anyways.but larsen claims churchill knew exactly where the setup was, and said nothing, because it was a small cost to pay, to lose 2005 to get the americans finally involved, and the still did not. >> so on that final note, i shall land, on thursday, we'll talk about, what neutrality was like, for the other european countries, you might want to come in with, knowing what the countries are, have their names listed on your notes, because we have to move quickly through that, and that will be on the midterm. >> any questions, before we go? >> about, the lecture, not mechanics with the class, now we have time to move around a few. like it's so weird, you guys are so quiet, i'm not used to this, but thank you for making that easier. >> yes we're coming. down >> so how was it so easy for the u.s. to do business with the germans, and the british and french, wouldn't they have like, blockade, the goods going into germany? >> especially not, certainly by 1915, because language, of block it, would not

is the point, that native americans are americans, and that americans really cannot escape the indigenous contributions to this country. >> a viewer from ohio brings up a topic that is very much in the cultural discussion. from clark county, ohio, saying the mascot at schools here are ridiculously in error -- a chief in full headdress is called a warrior. chiefs are represented as red, white, and blue figures. it is a flagrant disregard of cultural differences. there are four schools in this county with the same clipart images as warrior, chief, and braves. the education regarding these figures is absent from curriculum. insult to injury. what would you say? >> i totally agree with all of that. it is insulting, it is quite often racist. i have concluded that non-natives simply cannot be trusted with native american imagery. the football fans in this city tell us we are honoring native americans, and then they dress up with feathers and behave like fools and tell us that they are honoring us. well, they are not. they are engaging in racist conduct. we are offended, we are insulted, and we

american indians. and yet, in american daily life, images, advertising, mascots, surround people every single day. the show is about exploring the strange contradiction of how prevalent american indians are in american life really from the earliest memories of americans throughout their life, and yet somehow it was never really noticed much, never seemed is important. the territorial team decided to call this phenomenon "indians everywhere." it's about normalizing what's actually a really weird phenomenon. we looked and we couldn't find any other country in which one ethnic group has been used for so many different purposes for such an extraordinarily long time into the present. we went to a larger discussion beyond the egg fears -- beyond of stereotypes or cultural appropriation and look at the vastness and uniqueness of it, and explore the reasons for why it exists. we have over 300 objects and images of representation for american indians before the country began up to the present. they cover every

she wrote about german-americans, a italian americans, japanese-americans. these are our friends and neighbors. not forget that. she had some influence, but not nearly enough. people wonder why the italian-americans and the german americans did not go into the numbers, because thousands of them did. you did a book about this. you did the research. they had the advantage that they looked more like what an american was supposed to look like and the japanese-americans stood out and there was this real concern about that invasion of the west coast. there are actually worse -- there actually were japanese sighted in the pacific ocean and there were incidents, but nothing to japanese-americans themselves. we have really got to stay on top of this. my dad was an immigrant from japan. he wanted to do something to effort, so he applied to the university of chicago that was running a program called the army specialized training program, teaching japanese to u.s. army personnel, so that is what my .ad did during world war ii he was allowed to leave camp to go to chicag

and native americans.o this is how it works. the xenophobia defined certain populations of racial and religious others who are inferior or dangerous or both and then it demonizes them as a group, not as individuals, but a group based on the presumptions. and xenophobia isn't just a matter of prejudice or bigotry. it's played a central role in america's changing definition of race of citizenship and what it means to be an american. it inspires hi inspires and juss discrimination and racial violence. so we see xenophobia as racism first being expressed in this idea and germans are swarthy or that irish catholics are somehow not purely whites and are dangerous. but it is with chinese immigration that we see the first extent of xenophobic racism. to california during the gold rush became considered a race apart, much more like african-americans and native americans and european immigrants. they were inferior, they took jobs away from deserving americans. you can see that it was this dehumanized caricature who

americans consumed philippine sugar for quite some time, but there were almost no americans or american investment in the philippines at the time the united states acquired it in the treaty of paris. but during the treaty negotiations, they felt they had the option to get the philippines. the philippines had 17 million people, thousands of islands, it is a large colony, and it was a colony that was highly desired by other powers. americans felt like, we got it so we should keep it, especially to keep it from other empires, two empires at the time that were interested in that colony, germany and japan. eventually the philippines after world war ii will gain independence from the united states. that is in 1946. notably, 1946 is when these two empires are no longer a threat. and in world war ii, the philippines suffered lots of invasion by the japanese and lots of brutal violence, so the freedom comes at a moment after a lot of suffering in the philippines because of that rivalry. cuba, while americans are at war in the philippines, which goes on for years, the question of what to do with

[cheers and applause] mr. buttigieg: that is different from senator sanders' view of capitalism as the root of all evil. it would go beyond reform and reorder the economy in ways that most americans don't support. i believe we need to defeat donald trump and turn the page on this era in our politics by establishing a tone of belonging. bringing an end to the viciousness and bullying that is tearing apart our country. we must change what it feels like to live in the united states of america.
