we have two saints are american. >> that's interesting. but you know the reason saints day is there is the day they date died. there is no coincidence. they just happened to have died. the first is saint elizabeth. >> i think we have slide with information. >> she was a very fascinating woman. she had five children raised episcopalian quite wealthy. her husband was ill. she had to raise her five children alone she lost several of her children. during that time, she found catholicism. she was helped by some sisters. came back to the united states and found it in order. the sisters of charity of st. joseph. they are mainly a teaching hospital worker. so of course it was named after her. >> that was elizabeth. and, died in 1821. >> and she died on january fourth and is at some point in 1975. so was quite a while. this process can be very shot. >> that's right. mother teresa was quite short. especially in our modern age. >> the sparkling resists. and what happened on the next day? >> another american who wasn't american-born but, he was a bohem

so borrowed the title, and i imagine the women of the saint luke finance corporation were dreaming of the african-american community and felt that it was an excellent dream for all so thank you also much for your attention and the time. thanks again for inviting me. >> thank you so much. that was great. i can't let you escape without talking about the cover of your book. tell the audience, it is just amazing, her circumstances, she was born and raised and what she accomplished. is there a place if you want to learn more about her, a physical place you might be able to visit and lastly on a more sober note, what might you say about what is going on in this country? it is so fascinating. >> reporter: a little objectivity, it is hard not to be impressed with magdaleno walker. she was born and slaved at the end of the civil war in richmond, virginia, a basket upon her head, she grew up poor but her circumstances in her life shaped her vision, her economic vision for black women in particular and she was intimately involved with the independent order of saint luke, game president as the element in 1999 and she

saint or not. whether the american ideal is a dream or it is a lie. so if you had to take sides in this to be, what would your answers be and what you want to lead with about the central virtue of george washington. >> the story of washington of course, when people look back at washington, bright after stat, right away, what is the story. it is the story of i cannot tell a lie. that is a story. it didn't actually happen, it's a story that americans believed and what it captures is the need, with americans, they needed to believe that washington was not alive. that he was not a paper figure, that he was fundamentally a saint. that was for franklin autobiogs the best selling book of the 19th century, he was worship by so many people. these are founding fathers, they have to have a certain sense of -- particularly washington and franklin, this believability incense of truth. i think washington was that way, i think washington was fundamentally honest. he dealt straight with people, he was honest that and that honesty in government, he admitted his limita

saint of hope. african-americans definitely needed help. somebody made a donation for them to change their name to most pure heart of mary catholic church. it has been a thriving church in the community ever since. there is a parochial school here that has the first through eighth grade. there was a high school. the high school closed in 1968. we had a national figure, alexis hermon, she became a secretary of labor during bill clinton's administration. she came to school here. this is where she graduated from. during the civil rights days, neighborhood organized workers had to have a place to meet. ultimately, the school's cafeteria was the only place in the city that would allow them to meet, to strategize on how they were going to approach the problems that existed in the african-american community, trying to resolve them with the city. the nuns and the priests here, because this street was the main thoroughfare through the african-american community -- during the civil rights days, all of the marches would come down this street. when tho

american history would be radically different. john howland and elizabeth howland were the grandparents of joseph smith. there would have been no church of the latter day saints. no churchill family, the bush family that would have affected american history. and there would have been no casa blanca. so every life matters. when we brought the ship home to massachusetts from mystic seaport museum some of the crew were living history educators who had portrayed john heilemann. and they talked about what it was like to be aboard the ship under sail and to be in the riggings, to be working the ropes and suddenly have these insights. they saw themselves as the ship was moving how the ropes were moving, and the three young men talked among themselves and said, yes, they could see how if a ship is the dramatic water the rope spills over, and that's what's it what it's doing in the water with john heilemann. the power of museum is we are experimentals. meaning we try to re-create the work of the past, and in that re-creation we discover something about the people that came before us. so sailing the ship gives us insight into the original 1620 voyage. and the restorati

joseph, there would be no church of jesus christ of latter-day saints, the churchill family, the bush family, that would have affected american history. and to me, as a film lover, there would be no casablanca. so, every life matters, when we brought the ship home, some of the crew were living history educators who portrayed john howland and they talk about what it was like to be working on the ship and suddenly have these insights. they saw themselves as the ship was moving, how the ropes were moving, and the three young men talked amongst themselves and they could see how the rope spilled over, and that is how it ended up in the water with john howland. we experiment in archaeology, meaning, we try to re-create the work of the past. in that recreation, we discover something about those people that came before us, so sailing the ship gave us insight into the original 1620 voyage. and the restoration would bring the ship closer to the original vision that william baker had for the ship, the ship rides differently than it has since 1957, it gets us closer to the physics of the ship, there's so much discovery yet to be done. th

american constitution in utero. but it is still an extraordinary document even though it isn't the. both sides have been called saint strangers agree to listen to their duly elected leaders and this is civil government. this really is the first step towards the ultimate success of plymouth colony. they arrive finally after having being drafted the mayflower contacted province town arbor. it signed and now they have a big question. what we have before us? they know nothing about the coast upon which they have arrived. their biggest concern is one about the native people? what's gonna happen? i'd like to now read from chapter three into the void, which begins with the other side of the story. just a word of explanation. the pilgrims would refer them to them as the pocan oaken's, that's a story their leader or say chum, we will refer them to them today as the wampanoag,. about 60 miles southwest of province down harbor at the confluence to reverse, rhode island and nasa, with the most powerful native leader was sage in. . he was in the prime of his life, about 35, strong and composed, with a quiet dignity that was expe

could re- envision the american history in a way which the second-place miniature and presidential elections becomes vice president, how would you react to that freedom were sainted do you think the 12th amendment was an improvement. dick: i don't know. i think most recently, with the character. in order to amend this being made. even though he was from missouri. in his involvement when he took over, his lack, roosevelt and not really include him in anything during a period of time when he is vice president . and he came and he ended world war ii. he won the cold war. that was significant. in my mind, a democratic thing. it was a strong president. pierce's time is vice president that really set him up to perform that task. results task. lynne: noise makes me laugh. i have had to sin. the vice presidency, from the beginning was an afterthought. in order to establish voting in the very first instance as you pointed out everybody is a man of the pack. they got the most votes as long as it was president . and then second most votes, the vice president for unit and then they were like, this was an afterthought to know what we do with him. and so they can only think of

americans need to believe -- needed to believe that washington was not a lie. that washington was not a paper figure. that he really was fundamentally a saint. that goes for franklin, too, who is worshipped. his autobiography is the best selling book of the 19th century. worshipped by so many people. these people -- our founding fathers have to have a sense, particularly washington and franklin, have to have this believability, this sense of truth. i think washington was that way. i think washington was fundamentally honest. he didn't -- he dealt straight with people. he was honest. that sort of honesty -- he admitted his limitations. he knew he wasn't infallible. that's why he drew on others. that sense of virtue and character, he had to not only project it, he had to live it. >> thank you so much. lindsay, last word to you. you had a chance to think about the henry adams question. was washington a paragon of roman virtue or a paper saint or something in between? >> yeah, kind of want to stand by my original answer. i think he was neither and both. that's what the nation is. it's this great idea and this great possibility and great experime

and 3660 to come to and she open the saint luke penny savings bank in 1903 which was the first bank to be led by a black woman and also to be financed by african-american women. she is also very active politically and socially all around the country. if you want to know more about her, other than in my book, there is a really great article that just came out a couple weeks ago in the "wall street journal" which focuses on rising women in the present day in banking and it kind of harkens back to the stewart of maggie lena walker, the kind of understand this phenomenon of women in banking. and if you are ever in richmond, her house, , she has a beautiful mansion that she owned in richmond, and the national parks service runs her house pick you can also go online and you can do a virtual tour, many images of objects announcement also of her and the various businesses and kind of black life in richmond. and then just finally i think that maggie lena walker would have a lot to say about the events that are going on today. in fact, i think in the midst of covid should have a lot to say about kind of reviving with the kind of work she did with the saint luke

american history it is tempting to see the mayflower compact as the u.s. constitution in utero. it is not that. is still in extraordinary documents where both sides, what had been called saints and strangers, agreed to listen to their duly elected leaders. this is civil government. this really is the first step toward the ultimate success of plymouth colony. they arrive at finally after having drafted the mayflower compact and provincetown harbor. it is signed and now they have a big question. what do we have before us? they know nothing about the coast upon which they have arrived. their biggest concern is about the native people? what is going to happen? well, i would like to now read from chapter 3. it begins with the other side of the story. just a word of explanation, the pilgrims would refer to them. we refer to them today as the wampanoags, a term that was going a couple of decades after the arrival of the pilgrims. about 60 miles southwest of provincetown harbor was the conflict of two rivers. the most powerful native leader in the region. he was in the prime of his life about 35 strong and imposing with a quiet dignity that was expected. despite his personal vigor a

saints. talk to us how this is really just such a low, sleazy moment in american politics.ht to you by, donald trump and his republican enablers who have quietly and silently sat by while he has just done everything he could to corrupt all four corners of american politics. >> yeah. we're in act five of a shakespearean tragedy or a greek tragedy where when you bought your ticket, you knew where this was going to end up. you know? hamlet's mother was not going to end up living a long life in a nice retirement home. you just knew hamlet was not going to reign in a peaceful way. this is the climax, i hope. let's be clear. it's only december 24th. so there's, what? 26 days to go. i think we have to be very vigilant about this, because this could -- it certainly, the beginning of the end, but it's still not all the way to the end yet for what he could do. one of the phrases i think we have to retire is not since nixon, or excepting nixon, comma. nixon declined to pardon bob halderman and john ehrlichman in august of late, in the term, august of 1974, and that was before presumab

black americans suffered uniquely and that is something we are still living with the consequences of that. falset to point out this analogizing. mark from sainters, missouri, republican line. yes, thank you for taking my call. i have a couple points and i would like to hear your comments. think thatl, i don't america really should be looked at anymore as a melting pot and i like to look at it more as a salad where all of the ingredients are mixed together but they retain their individual properties. and i think that is a big representative bobby gentles said it best when he said immigration without assimilation is basically an l said it-- bobby jinda best when he said immigration without assimilation is basically an invasion. i would like you to comment on the news media's role on how the country views things because they are trying to control the narrative of what the american people think. if you could comment on that i would really appreciate it. , mark.hi thank you for that call. i completely agree with you with the idea of the salad, which is more the canadian model, does not fit. we have many people who should with commond purposes. i t

saint anthony, minnesota. she just wanted to decorate her house for christmas. put up lights outside which most americans do.ty wrote her an anonymous letter. they didn't put their name on it, of course. steve: never. >> the idea of twinkling colorful lights are a reminder of division that continue to run through our society. a remind of systemic biases against our neighbors who don't celebrate christmas or can't afford to put up lights of their own. we must do work educating ourselves about the harmful impact. an outward facing display like yours can have. what's your reaction? >> look, you know, i talk a lot about this on the rob smith is problem that the particular mod cast. it's not the grinch who stole christmas. the left stealing christmas. this is completely ridiculous, and the idea that because somebody else has christmas lights. and you don't. this is somehow wrong. it's actually, to tell you the truth. a fairly socialist idea. we are seeing the leftism kind of creep in to our christmas tradition if you look on twitter there was a santa that left an 8-year-old boy in tears because he said he would n

american life in this t:country. >> is christianity! important to you personally? >> guest: sure. absolutely. i was born and raised on the coast so are you up in the archdiocese of biloxi, i went to saintolic catholic church. mission founded by the joseph fights on thejosephà all-black church parish for the most part i'm going to morehouse and listening to some of the most extraordinary preachers and then trying to find my own way in terms of my own religious belief islam for a moment and the like, i came to understand that these stories that animate the christian tradition are critical to how i see myself as a human being. the stories offer wisdom and insight to what it means to be in a world that seems to be so loveless. i would say the tradition matters but i come at it in my own way if that makes sense. >> host: i think it's in your book "exodus" you identify yourself as john do do pragmatic tests. >> guest: he's part of this classical group of Ãbwho in some ways put forward a philosophical view that has us not being so attentive to so-called metaphysical truths or trying to look for foundations but really understanding the capacities of human being to transform their circumstances
