, especially american women, especially american women of color. it is very famous but even more famous is the statue of 1867 called forever free and she's doing a lot with the sculpture here, you can see her main characters standing, the chains have broken but they are not off which is interesting but for our purposes today one of the things that is more interesting is that the man in this sculpture is unclothed but the woman is clothed which is a real reversal the idea of african-american women as being somehow objects that are not bounded. she is dressed, she is taking part in society in a way that he without clothes doing less of, the protected women in the idea that she can carry herself forward into modern american society even though he's more powerful and she said his feet there's a lot going on in that particular statue. if you look at this, you never heard of her, she is only one of the women in the late nineteenth century who dramatically changed american culture after the civil war. she is a sculptor but here's a woman i would lay money

also the mass incarceration of african-americans.ericans are looking at lyndon johnson and they see the promise of the war on poverty. but they have this in memory of him as a congressional leader and they view a lot of the assassination is less at lyndon johnson's adore and he is partially responsible. he also began to see things like the vietnam war's impact on the black community and the increased policing in the black community that results from this war on poverty in johnson's war on crime. and so over time, johnson's legacy is really quite problematic among african americans to the extent that in the end as we all know by 1968 lyndon johnson who opens up his presidency with almost 80% kind of approval rating, drops to 35% by the time he is considering a run for election again and 68 to the extent have to drop out of that race. but ultimately, african americans still support lyndon johnson in some ways. but at the same time this long history of concern about him in the sense he's not a true advocate for african-american rights c

american families for years to come. something that impactful is not an easy feat, but we are going to keep working. by passing this legislation, we can create good-paying jobs for this generation and the next. we can lower costs and cut taxes for american families while taking overdue steps to meaningfully address the climate crisis. we still have work to do, but we're going to continue at it until, until ther: the republican leader is recognized. mr. mcconnell: every day american families are feeling real pain because of the reckless and inflationary policies that democrats have already rammed through. the american people are facing the highest inflation in more than ten years. they are paying an extra dollar a gallon at the pump and soaring prices at the grocery store. real wages are down. rising prices are wiping out raises and bonuses. last month's jobs report was another huge disappointment showing less than half the hiring that had been expected. but amazingly the biden administration and many of our colleagues se

american shipping experts in attempt to punish french and english interference with american trade. not surprisingly the act had a disastrous impact on the commerce driven north and you could feel, really feel the impact of that hatred. in jefferson's hate mail from this period. like the anonymous letter from boston that read, "i have agreed to pay four of my friends $400 to shoot you if you don't take off the embargo which i saw pay them if i have to work on my hands and kneeses. you are one of the greatest tyrant in the whole world. i wish you could feel as bad as i feel with six children round you crying for victuals and be half starved yourself." that is a profoundly personal kind of insult there. less specific but clearly bursting with a similar sense of personal outrage and suffering are two remarkably concise letters and i'm going the read them in their entirety. one read in its entirety, quote. you are the daumdest fool god put life into you god damn you. period. that was it. the other read go hell you damn booger. go to hell. that was all it said. so that's intense hate. an

slaves, american slaves was a sign of the fact they were just like other americans. and adopting a constitution as we mentioned was another way to do that. but different circumstances that act of writing the constitution could be seen as white americans as a kind of threat. this is generally how this was received by what the cherokees wrote a constitution, it seemed to and a greater degree mobilize americans to figure out how to remove the cherokees to somewhere else. again an enormously complex story. i wish i was more of an expert on this to give you guys a full explanation. there is a wide range of scholarship available on this. >> have big points i would make is that we have been talking about americans taking a big role in drafting their own constitutions. i point that has not been emphasized enough, obviously at many points, large numbers of americans have not been granted the opportunity to participate in this formal way in writing constitutions. but that should not lead us to think that all of these groups again, who have been denied the opportunity have not

battle that african-americans spotted in the american revolution. trivia question. there are african-americans on the bunker hill. so they conquered bunker hill back in massachusetts, they were not segregated and african-americans who fought in which washington and the continental army and served other canceled generals and initially for bed either not just enslaved but the free african americans and ultimately going to move back in going to allow the freed and then ultimately freed and then why the change. one is the pragmatic of the british under the lord who was a royal governor. in the providing freedom for any slave who fights against the colonists. in washington it was shot that all other slaveholders and ultimately response and this is about, this issue is about combating hurried and when he starts to get reports like these. so a veteran and campaigns and around boston in a character of man who behaved like an experienced officer an excellent soldier so not just us, any soldier that is experienced officer so elevating the african-american sol

pain for the american people. payoffs for our adversaries so that president biden can receive cheers from the crowd in glasgow. small comfort for his own citizens. energy policy isn't the only place where the biden administration's decisions are hurting americans. the president's retreat from afghanistan continues to have dangerous and disastrous consequences. yesterday one pentagon official gave senators a new estimate of how many americans the administration has left behind. the count secretary austin claimed last month -- last month -- was less than 100. that's now risen to 450 americans left behind enemy lines. the biden administration spent weeks insisting they only left about a hundred americans behind in afghanistan when the truth was multiple times that. the administration has also failed to continue to keep its promises to brave afghan allies. meanwhile, as many warned, the terrorist threat is growing in the wake of our retreat. the same pentagon official acknowledged that afghanistan-based isis-k and al

s. welfare state and flayed, the spectre of american fascism. it's certainly hard to find a more abrupt presidential shift than from trump to biden. however, whether the president has the stamina, political and personal to see this remains to be seen, but for know for myself and alex and all it is sure it's good by stay safe and we hope to see you all again next to me. ah ah these people learn from their own experience, how vulnerable of business is to the bank. so he pushes my business over the pushes me right to the bankruptcy. now i realize we were good. this isn't just the back that would be involved in this is the counselor at sea palms. this is the lawyers. these people have got one of their stories and it was kind of whistle blower. tell people's marriages have broken up. they've lost their family homes. it is spectacularly devastating for people's lives. they have committed suicide, but left behind, nor the explicitly state that it was the constant intimidation and billing by buying call for source, that late them to i thought the spring

-- african-americans? i don't think that was the case. that was a part of american exceptionalism.e had a skepticism of people who lived under totalitarian regimes, lived under monarchies and whether they were truly committed to self-government. i think this was a flaw in his thinking. it was part of his celebration of americans who practice this wonderful form of self government and skepticism could give it to themselves. it went too far. people who criticize his position in the chinese cases are onto something that was less friendly to immigrants and people who came from totalitarian governments that it is to indigenous minorities like african-americans on under the u.s. constitution like native americans. it was a case where it native american renounced his citizenship to the tribe and asserted that his citizenship as a u.s. citizen, living in american city and the supreme court said no. he was part of an indian nation and could not become a citizen. harlan gave a very passionate, strong dissent the funding the rights of native americans. given that he was a number one defender

the american people understand what's at stake. they understand that when workers and families have a better shot, america has a better shot. the american people have never let the country down. today, there is more evidence of the progress we are making and we can make more in the days ahead. i want to thank you and god bless you all and may god protect our troops, thank you very much. >> later in the day, president biden spoke at the white house about preserving the environment

revolution but the american revolution in practical terms in terms of the government and americans will establish. it sort of scopes out what end of the spectrum. >> one of the things i want to point out about pennsylvania, their voting requirement, their voting laws it's not a property owning requirement to be a voter in pennsylvania, it is actually taxpayers over 21 years old and resident of pennsylvania they are the ones that are able to vote no racial requirement in pennsylvania, it is the taxpayer requirement rather than a property requirement other colonies turned states had certain levels of property that a potential voter had to be in order to be eligible to vote in our respective state. the other thing that is interesting about the pennsylvania constitution it did have a religious test for serving in the pennsylvania legislature assembly. that religious test required a candidate before they take their seats in the assembly to actually swear that they believe in the old and the new testaments. that prevented u.s. americans from serving in the assembly. we have here on screen, th

the american people spoke. this agenda, the agenda in these bills is what 81 million americans voted for. more people voted than any time in american history. that's what they voted for. their voices deserve to be heard. not denied. or worse, ignored. because here's what i know. we make these investments, there will be no stopping the american people or america. we will own the future. i've long said it's never been a good bet to bet against the american people. i've said that to foreign leaders as well as everyone here in this unt kri. which means it's always a good bet to bet on the american people. just give them half a chance. that's what we're doing. that's what these plans do. they're about betting on america. about believing in america. about believing in the capacity of the american people. if you look at the history of the journey of >> it becomes crystal clear is this, i will say it again, give me have a chance and the american people have never ever ever ever let the country down so let's get this do

the reason was the risk to american military and american citizens. we were already in conflict with isis. at that point in time, if we stayed past the 31st, which militarily is feasible but it would have required an additional commitment of significant amounts of forces, probably 15, 20, maybe 25,000 troops. we would have had to declare kabul of the 6,000 taliban that were already in kabul. that's what would have happened beginning on the 1st. it would have put u.s. casualties on the american side and it would have put civilians that are still there at greater risk. so on the 25th we recommended we switch to a diplomatic option on the 31st. >> general milley, you said that the toll ban had not lived up to the terms of the agreement. give me a rough date of when they first breached terms of the agreement. you said they were not living up to the terms of the doha agreement. what was the first evidence they were not living up to the terms of the agreement? >> the memo was signed on 29 february, so really through the fighting season of february 2020. >>

it changed in 1863 in the coverage of enslaved and free african-americans. influenced by the actions of black soldiers in pursuit of union victory, the pictoral press with increased enthusiasm illustrated their contributions. in turn those pictures helped change northern opinion about the role and place of black the. while never fully relinquishing signs or difference, the armed and active black soldier took precedence as longstanding figures of the helpless antebellum slave, the early war, undisciplined former slave and the child contraband lost action and that new context, the emphasis on the racial violence that the draft riots was akin to the outraged illustrated press coverage of the massacres of black troops such as the infamous confederate slaughter of fort pillar, tennessee, in 1864. the new york african-american residents during the draft riots as represented in the nation's pictorial press had achieved a new, terrible status. in a conflict in which they had come to be predominantly portrayed as champions of the union and a significant part of the a

and the american citizens, i know there are american citizens there. but they would have been at greater risk had we stayed past the 31st in our professional en opinion. >> thank you. thank youator mr. chairman. >> senator cain. >> mr. chairman. we would expect answer of how manyn americans still in afghanistan and that we would not appreciate an answer that t was a deferred to state. we ought to be able to get an answer and approximate if we ca can't, i want to suggest to this committee you don't want to be responsive to that question or that you don't talk to the state department or the number of afghanistans is something you are indifferent to. i don't think any of that is true. first, thanks to president biden for ending the u.s. combat mission in afghanistan after 20 years it. it was the right thing to do. and it should have been done earlier. a virginia service member whose wife is expecting said this to me recently, i'm so glad that my baby is not being born into a country at war. someone want us to stay on permanent war footing. else and where

you know, with the, with the american over china 20 years ago. there is, there is always the possibility of an accident which will then lead to a drastic deterioration of relation. and that's why i think it's so confusing to have service like myself because of the as you mentioned, direct communication between moscow and washington not only existed that i think it has actually intensified and the divide in the ministration. some people would suggest that the moscow and washington's poses a more aligned now, then let's say 3 years ago under trump. why do you think washington seems to be preferring a direct contact with moscow without necessarily going circles through brussels? well, i mean, let's, let's face it in washington as always, treated brussels with just a brussel. does that to take american orders? right. it's, it's a useful client. organize. ok, why is it no longer useful to wash it? i mean, it is still useful, but you know, and america is very anxious if you, you know, if you look at stolen bugs later. speech that trying to get nato to

americans of tomorrow. furthermore, it's very discriminatory when it comes to opportunities for education. you're excluding propry tear schools from the $550 increase in pell grants. this is a major shift in higher education policy where you're pitting one sector against the other. of course it's the private sector that you're going after. student aid has always flowed to students for them to use at the institution of their choosing so long as the institution is accredited among other things. at the same time, you're opening up student aid to illegal aliens. so harming the veterans, minority student, and working parents, who choose a proprietary school which is often much more flexible than the schools funded by the government, but you give aid to people who aren't legal citizens. that is absolutely wrong. and it should not be done. i just -- we've all tried to say what's wrong with this bill. you haven't heard one positive thing. we don't believe there's anything positive in here. and again, i will say, yo

i am a cuban-american. i am a retired law professor, and i am one of the 50,000 americans that repatriated to cuba, so we get to vote in both countries. i get to see two different political systems, and i vote socialist in america because i think it is to capitalistic, and i vote capitalist in havana, my native home, because i think cuba is way too socialist. i am one of those few voters out there who gets to vote two different countries. my question is, how do the cuban-americans in miami have so much power? for instance, we have three u.s. senators who are cuban-americans supposedly, but they were never born in cuba, you know? and they just do that to vote and to vote against cuba all the time, and they know nothing about cuba. i live in cuba, nobody listens to me. host: manny, thank you. guest: a great question. first, some demographics. about three quarters of the nations cuban-american population about over 2 million people live in florida, so florida contains the greatest concentration of cuban-americ

is monk's corner predominantly african-american? or half african-american and a half white? >> i'd probably say 50/50. you have larger sections of the city that are predominantly african-american. >> right, yeah. and i think that fact dates from right after the civil war, when african-americans left the plantations and established new lives. some of the white folks who owned the plantations on the west branch bordering monk's corner were not eager to sell little parcels of land to african-americans, and some were. that was was again a matter of chance, a matter of family disposition. how this white family experienced their loss of status and how the next white family experienced their loss of status. whether they wanted to help some of the african-american families that they'd enslaved or not. and so, yeah, those are just some thoughts here and there about monk's corner. >> thank you. i was just -- whenever i was reading it, i was reading about the plantations that didn't get burned. i was thinking about -- i don't know if you know gibby plantation. it was a huge one there i

does that to take american orders? right. it's, it's a useful client. organize. ok, why is it no longer useful to wash it? i mean, it is still useful, but you know, and america is very anxious if you, you know, if you look at stolen birds, ledger speech that trying to get nato to become part of the confrontation with china. but i think at the same time, if washington at the moment does want to relax tension, some logic with russia, then of course, nature is not such a huge useful organization because nature has been the most provocative western organization. so, roger is, can you are interpreting that as a sign of actually reaching out to moscow? no, but because as i say, i fear that american policy is to uncoordinated for that. partly because you have so many domestic pressures, every american administration is always looking over it shoulder at what the american media will say, what people in congress will say, what people within the democratic party will say. and especially of course, you know, after afghanistan on the one hand, the biden administration does w

that's one way of portraying an american president. and this was an image that was actually quite widely circulated in the confederacy. and found a lot of sympathy amongst them. lincoln's proclamation had allowed for the army of black men, and they are improvement into the movement army, -- to convert the civil war that paved the way for black male citizenship. there enlistment of black men and led by abolitionists, reassertion of racial equality, as black soldiers and radical allies fought for equal access to land. even though black soldiers fought in segregated units, the value that lincoln attached to the military service helped move him to the idea of black male citizenship. in 1863, he wrote, and this is a photograph of the famous --, one of the first black regiments during the war. in 1863, lincoln wrote that black union soldiers could aspire to the ideal of american citizenship better than secessionists and copperheads. when peace arrived, he wrote, quote, there will be some black man who can remember that the steady eye and wel

i have not just seen the american story, i have lived the american story, and take it from me, the first female and first minority governor of south carolina, america is not a racist country. [applause] this is a story it republicans should tell and it is a story republicans should finish. the moral mandate to make america freer, fairer and better. . there are a lot of wrongs to write. there is an education system that failed to many students. a welfare system that traps to many in poverty. health care system that is too costly and bureaucratic. there is a crime wave that claims to many lives, disproportionately black and brown lives. there is a crisis at the border that underlines us undermines our safety and our national identity. there is too much trust in central planners in the fantasy of socialism, and too little trust in the genius of the people and capitalism. we must restore america's moral courage. [applause] ms. haley: we need the confidence that our cause is just and our principles are true. if we lose that, we lose everything. we won't have the will to win, the fight between

after the election, -- roosevelt has become such a revered person in american history, but americans don't realize how much those who hated roosevelt in the 1930s really truly despised him, couldn't stand him. when i saw this and letters written to roosevelt, letters shared. they saw themselves consolidating power in the executive branch. if you add to that, the supreme court, this looks like something who is trying to do what's talent and mussolini and hitler had done. so when he runs for a third term, you find american traditions have stepping down, which further reinforces -- that roosevelt is not just another american president. but roosevelt is up to something far more sinister. so more broadly they deal with liberalism. there is concern that those who are helping a mare prepare america for the end times. one is the national recovery act, for businesses that participated in the nra. they believe that one of the things that would prepare us for the end times was the showing of the symbol, the mark of the beast. so they thought this was the mark of the beast. possibly the anti chr

he was a mexican/american republican in arizona. that also defied all of my expectations of what a latino conservative would look like. to the extent we know anything about latino conservatives, it's about the cuban-americans and cuban exiles in miami, florida. so having this example both in my grandfather and this mexican american department store owner, gave me a census was a much bigger array, more widespread, more deep than i had known about. i think the combination of those two things, my grandfather's example and my ongoing arguments with him about politics in this conservative department store owner in tucson is what set me down the road. >> host: i guess i should've set up a little better leading up to 2020 general elections estimated 32 million latinos were eligible to vote in a presidential election. that was the most ever and made latinos the largest voting bloc after non-hispanic white. in more than african-americans. historically we know latinos have voted with democrats. but historically 70% for the democrats, 30% of t

what i'm seeing here in rome is a deep appreciation for american reengagement, american leadership, and it's making a huge difference on issues that will have an impact on the lives of americans. we're here at the g20 the world's largest economies and with this american leadership, with this american engagement, we've struck dramatic progress, we have a global minimum tax agreement, that's an incredibly big deal, something we've been working on for a long time. we've gotten that over the finish line. that means instead of having this race to the bottom where companies are moving to the countries that are offering the lowest tax rates and taking jobs out of the united states, we've now got a level playing field around the world. that's a product of our engagement and leadership, secretary yellen and her team have done an amazing job on that. we've got significant progress, too, on getting, ending a dispute between the united states and our closest european partners where we were engaged in a tariff war over steel and aluminum that has gotten resolved. that will help american workers, bus

he's on going to move back, allow free african-americans and enslaved african americans and the questionis why the change? two schools of thought, what is the pragmatic, the british under lord dunmore, the royal governor of virginia will issue a proclamation providing freedom for any slave who fights against the colonists. washington is shocked, responding to the same officers, is this about men combating this? the other possibility is he has a change of heart. when he starts getting reports like these. talking about a veteran of the campaigns in and around boston, so brave man who behaved like an experienced officer as well as an excellent soldier, not just any soldier but experienced officer elevating african-american soldier. general john thomas saying they are equally serviceable with other men and looking at the conduct, there's roughly 5000 african-americans or so are going to serve in some capacity with the continental army offering freedom for service. meanwhile things don't go so well for washington's army. battles in and around philadelphia washington is going to lose. the fred

it is an american one. truer words have never been spoken. we should remember the voting rights act on a bipartisan basis. that's the way we have always done it. the core provision of the voting rights act has been reauthorized fiveer times. remember five times, every time this has b been done with overwhelming bipartisan support in congress was signed by president nixon. it was signed by president reagan. it was signed by president george w. bush for they all signed the voting rights act authorization into law. they knew the profound importance for our democracy. in fact the most recent was in 2006. and you know what the vote was in the senate? ninety-eight -- zero. many senators still serving today both republican and democratic voters to support that legislation. has for decades united us across party lines. the very right to give democracies name is bigger than party or politics. it is the belief a system of government, of vian for the people is one that's worth preserving for generations to come. it is aop belief the government exist to

frankly un-american. the biden administration has been up front about its motive here. washington democrats are looking to collect as many tax dollars as possible to finance their never-ending reckless spending sprees. and as a direct result of these budget-busting bills government inflation is driving up prices and limiting availability of everyday essentials. let's take a look at life in joe biden's america. the cost of food, the cost of rent the cost of nearly everything just keeps going up and up. meanwhile, the size of many products is shrinking which means you have to work harder, pay more, and get a heck of a lot less. it's even costing more just to get to the grocery store. gas is now more than $3 a gallon the highest price in six years. and this really shouldn't come as a surprise. remember on his first day on the job, president biden signed an executive order to end the keystone x.l. pipeline, killing thousands of jobs and limiting our access to oil and gas supplies. and while costs keep going u

my plan is going to put americans were to work -- it's going to put americans to work to ease the cost of housing generating more jobs. most of the major metropolitan america, you can't afford housing. it helps to meet the moment on climate change as well. we are setting the course for america to achieve 50% to 52% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions 2030. to reach net zero emissions by 2050. this bill helps us get there in a way that creates good jobs, makes us global leaders fast-growing clean energy industries like electric vehicles, solar, wind power, battery power. the bottom line is this. we give working families a break, we're not just raising the quality of life. we are putting parents in a position to earn a paycheck. we are also in a position to compete in the world. that's what these bills are all about. if you want proof, come to this training facility. this is where hard-working folks come to learn to operate. they learn how to operate a crane, to deal with drones to look under bridges. where young people in michigan show up and emerge as expert technicians, engineers, h

we believe in americanism. we believe in american exceptionalism. we believe in the constitution. we believe in freedom and a right to make our own decisions, our own homes, and in our own communities. and increasingly we are finding that this new administration, the house and the senate under democratic control, are taking away the basic rights and freedoms that would have been enjoyed by free people, but they are not. because this administration intends to extend the long arm of the federal government and to all transportation, to all members of the military, and to free people who want to live their own life. so, madam speaker, republicans are on the floor today. to offer better ideas. to offer hope and solutions. but perhaps more importantly to say this, that we believe that it is time that this administration get off its radical agenda, radical agenda that is leading america into chaos. and if the president would listen, if the speaker of the house would listen, and if the senate majority leader would listen, they would hear even members op their own party saying that a radic

elsewhere, meanwhile, nixon through american support or doubled down on american relationshipss with authoritarians in places as diverse as c brazil, chile, ira indonesia, pakistanme and on an on one could go. for many commentators, this turn democracy provides amajor, if not only the main, certainly a major reason to despite nixon. jimmy carter gave this view one of its classic formulations in hiss famous 1977 speech at notr dame university. he said in part, for too many years we've been willing to adopt the flawed and erroneous principles and tactics of our values for theirs. vietnam he said was just the best example of the intellectual and moral poverty of u.s. policy choices. but he blasted nixon's decision-making more generally assailing this tendency to indulge inn what carter called fear of communism and the embrace that any dictator who joined us in that fear. that kindn of criticism perhaps peaked in the early 21st century withs publish of the "the trial of henry kissinger" which proposed no less than prosecution for the decision making during the nixon presidency. with thes

>> with african-american genealogy center, what will happen to the african-american family? >> good question and i'm optimistic that it will encourage hundreds if not thousands of people to investigate their family histories. tony carrier is a good egg and she has in her mind, she knows what records need to be retrieved to make it possible for african-americans to investigate their family histories so i think it might have a beneficial effect because as i said, i repeat this perhaps, a bit heavily, to investigate your family history in the most difficult areas, has a therapeutic, against an unusual and unexpected strength to learn about the hard parts of what's. i'm describing the experience of african-americans who find time and will to do this as well as white folks who want to. into the heart -- hard parts of their family narrative. it has a therapeutic effect so i am a domestic the family history center will spend some of that therapy. >> reporter: i am too and thank you for your generous time. we will take a break and be back at 2:30, is it >> take about a 5 or 6 minute

with asian-americans or hispanic-americans. it might have been on a different level, on a little bit more subtle level, but not quite on the level of african-americans being discriminated against. >> absolutely. and i guess just to piggyback off of that, to encourage our audience members to tune into future programming and to go back to some of our previous programs, we recently covered the experience of asian-americans prolifically this past spring, and we do have an upcoming webinar looking at the experience of mexican-americans in post-world war ii coming up in september. now, for the next question, does the g.i. bill help pay for family members' education? i guess to rephrase that, did it pay for family members' education during world war ii, or is it exclusively for these -- >> yeah. yeah, that's a good question. the original g.i. bill was exclusively for service members and, in fact, gold star widows wanted to draw on some of the g.i. bill benefits, and they were turned down initially. eventually, the law was changed so t
