well that's a tough one i mean i think throughout the american south that i am not from the american south but throughout the american south. there was a lot wrong with the way in which the america confederacy was run there were there were there were some good things about the way the confederacy was won't run and the problem today is in two thousand and seventeen for all of our history you know we don't have as long a history is as russia for example in all of our history. we don't really know enough yet about what actually happened during that period and there are strong and justifiably strong passionate feelings about what happened during our american civil war from eight hundred sixty eight hundred sixty five and what happened in the run up and the aftermath of that war that does not give the right to anybody on either side of the spectrum to go in and either destroy things destroy property or harm people whatever your viewpoint just doesn't give you that right let's talk it through let's have a really deep discord not by orthodox people on the left who control our academic instit

that history we talked about last week, as i said, focused on african-americans, focused on the american south, and not necessarily the american west. again, as you leave tonight, and again, a lot of you for your oral history assignments talked about mexican immigration, some of you talked about the farm labor movement, know that what you're doing is a part of a larger effort by historians to capture the story of the american west. how does the story of the american west relate to big, broad themes within united states history, okay? and i want to start the evening by telling you a story and trying to, you know, unmask myself a little bit. as a historian, and how i came to do my own research. and i'll start by telling you a story of this man. so many of you will go on to transfer to university. you might find yourself taking classes at csu bakersfield, down in bakersfield. you'll be in the walter stern library. that's who this man is, water ste walter stern. he was a democrat, very progressive, had the support of labor unions here in the central valley where he represented for over like two de

as we have heard, american and south korean forces are beginning their annual joint military exercisesould they serve to increase tensions even further on the peninsula? i've been speaking to charles edel, an american military strategy expert and senior fellow at the united states studies centre at the university of sydney, to find out. i don't think these will make the situation worse. itjust happens to be in the context of heightened rhetoric over the last two weeks, but these are consistent and ongoing exercises. they've really been performed for the past a0 years, consistently. so there is the, of course, chance that pyongyang will take these as further provocation. but, considering the climbdown in language on both sides that you saw over the last four or five days, i think that these are probably not going to be further provocation. and the united states has basically rejected the idea of a dual freeze, or a freeze—for—freeze — that is, stopping these drills in exchange for pyongyang halting its military and ballistic missile tests. do you think this is a good move? yes, i do thi

american and south korean troops have begin their annual military exercises as tensions remain high on the korean peninsula. north korea has objected to the drills and warned the us it should prepare for a ‘merciless strike'. one of the greats of american comedy, jerry lewis, has died in las vegas, aged 91. he came to fame during the 1950s, in a partnership with dean martin — before a successful solo career as a singer, actor and director. we have the news review very shortly, but first or the business news with ben bland. round one of the nafta talks are now complete, but huge differences remain as the us, canada and mexico try to hold together one of the world's biggest free trade zones. and russia's biggest oil company is leading a $13 billion deal which will secure it thousands of petrol stations across india. hello and a very warm while on to world business report, wherever you are watching. i am ben bland. the us, canada and mexico have finished their first round of talks to overhaul north america's free trade deal, nafta. it follows president trump's threats to scrap the pact, s

confederate monuments were part of the building of the jim crow regime of segregation in the american southat period of 1910, 1920 is a period of lynchings, public spectacle lynchings, huge amounts of violence towards african-americans in the south and the massive resistance movement of the civil rights era brought a new round of statue building and monument building. this is what critics are talking about. this is what they're seeing in the meaning of those monuments. >> the president has described the monuments as beautiful and he argues that george washington and thomas jefferson were slave owners, might their statues be next. trump adds the removal of monuments amounts to the changing of history and culture. do you believe that? do you agree? >> well, there's a powerful argument out there about a slippery slope or a so-called powerful argument that if you remove a lee, you have to remove a washington. i think this is just wrong. there are lots of distinctions. we asked what do people stand for today, what do they stand for in their lifetimes and what did the statues stand for when they

fighting in the south union army against the national liberation front or the viet cong in south vietnam. so, american women who served in south vietnam or in the south. some of them are statione were n saigon, the capital of south vietnam. others were stationed at bases throughout south vietnam. so one of the major bases in south vietnam had a number, quite a number of american women army corps personnel that served. americans ar nurses served in sh vietnam and then the red cross civilian volunteers served anywhere the red cross needed them to be, so they could be in saigon, they could be at another major city or they could be at small military installations out in remote areas in the jungle, held in rural areas and so really they were serving all throughout vietnam. american women served in vietnam found that the way they were treated depended in part on who they were interacting with. many of the women i interviewed for beyond combat said that the enlisted men treated them much better than the officers, that there were some officers who assumed that even though these are american women either liste

congress passed the indian removal act that forced native americans from their homelands in the south to areas in the western part of the country it was this piece of legislation that led to the infamous trail of tears were native americans were forced to migrate from the american south to the west where thousands of people died along the way from exposure disease and mounted and malnutrition and the reasons though the reason those politicians did this was because gold had been discovered on native land in the government wanted to get their hands on that gold now fast forward almost two hundred years and we still see similar scenarios playing out with native americans and land rights in the dakota access pipeline saga when the standing right sue attempted to halt the dangerous and unnecessary construction of the dakota access pipeline through their sacred lands they were met by federal aid. gents who did everything in their power to push protesting native americans off the side the land rights of the standing rock sioux were completely ignored so that an oil company could strike moder

abraham lincoln in one thousand nine hundred sixty three may have never been a law here in the american south in fact i may be standing in a completely different country altogether today if that had been the case and yet it's twenty seventeen and the american woman has been killed at this event and all our political establishment seems capable of doing is pointing the finger at political opponents actually the point of today's show is going to be to turn that finger in on us as as americans and question what role white supremacy has played historically in this country but also ask a key question which it which you likely won't hear brought up anywhere else after a week of such bellicose rhetoric coming out of washington we're hearing threats of a war on north korea threats of military action in venezuela from our president so we have to ask actually with the u.s. military such a force for instability often partnering with right wing groups whether in syria ukraine or venezuela what is the political impact that has on the country here those are the questions we're going to explore in our inter

the united states, japan, china, russia, europeans, africans, south americans, we are all together. what are we saying? we are all denouncing north korea's outrageous act against another un member state, japan. we are all demanding north korea stop any future missile launches. we are all demanding north korea abandon its nuclear weapons. north korea has violated every single security council resolution and violated international law. we are all calling on every nation to strictly, fully and immediately implement all security council sanctions on north korea. the rul world is united against north korea. there is no doubt about that. it is time for the north korean regime to recognize the danger they're putting themselves in. the united states will not allow their lawlessness to continue.

this year production is down eighty percent in the american south due to bad weather at doing that crucial growing season. the impact has been felt by famas migrant workers and restrooms. we're going to one town in south carolina this feeling the pinch. is a factored into the cuisine here for decades now it's a huge part of our. culture and who we are but it's also a big part of the money that we make here in this state. nnova. that we're very lucky to have any peaches at all but still it's very discouraging. russia does this year were about eighteen percent of a crop in because we're not sure yet that's where we kind of. a figure we're going to be at. our normal in a normal year we will ship about one point. two million boxes. this year we're gonna be very fortunate we ship over to. this is very devastated because you lose our customers you'd we get facebook post and everything like that where are your peaches and everything you just have to tell people. but unfortunately this year will have. when we found out about approach and we. but cuomo about hundred fourty back. they rely on this j

or the story of southeast bakersfield to the story of african americans in the american south. i started to see a real connection there. this is an up close blow up of the previous slide tla i showed you with the little boy standing in front of the wood shack there. this particular image gives you a sense of what the streets might have looked like. very impovished communities. again there's a point of comparison. trying to analyze poverty. again on both sides of the border. like a will the of you were talking about how the migration to the united states was a story of mobility upward. i don't discount that. in some cases, the mobility takes generations to actually achieve. it doesn't occur with the migrants but maybe their children. so i want to talk about the war on poverty. because again this is another subject that's very large within u.s. history. that's one of the points i'm trying to get you thinking about today. how the story of the farm workers is connected to broader currents within u.s. history. so i told you i talk about school integration. in my dissertation and the

we haven't seen the state department issue a warning to americans in south korea we want haven't seen any of the pieces that need to happen logistically to maintain a steanted campaign. that said, there's a very heavy military presence in the reefpblgt right now, there's nothing to indicate that there's a military action happening and the thing to watch for or those logistics. robert: the president says locked and loaded but the military sbess on pauts and if the military is on pause, i have to wonder, you've been at the state department all week. are there any glimmers of diplomatic progress at this point? you've been following not only secretary of state rex tillerson and nikki haley but also the u.s. diplomat trying to do back channel talks. yeganeh: right. we learned today through the associated press that joseph yoon has been speaking to the third highest north korean official at the u.s. ambassador in new york. those talks were centered around the return of the american student who was imprisoned in north korea and sadly died after his return to the united states. we learned tha

the european union, and mercosur, which is a south american grouping of countries. that that election was fraudulent. now, the presidents says that a lot of the problems are constitutional, and could be fixed with a constitutional assembly, and many others are external, and the government's fault. how do you respond to that? well, there's not a single problem that the country has to do with the constitution. this is a country with the largest concentration of oil in the world, and all sorts of riches and minerals. that was completely destroyed in 20 years of government, first by hugo chavez, and then nicolas maduro. price controls and all kinds of interferences and crazy policies that make no sense, and huge corruption explains that. there is nothing in the current constitution, which, by the way, was drafted and promoted by hugo chavez, that creates problems, and there will not be a solution — a constitutional solution to the problems of hunger and corruption and the collapse of the entire state in terms of its capacity to provide health and citizen safety and food

so when you're looking at segregation in the american south. it's called segregation by law. so that's where you have the drinking fountains for white and black. the signs, right? or you have hard segregation was local ordnances. you didn't get that out west. it's what scholars call de facto segregation. i can write the terms on the board. analytically they might be useful to you. as you do some research. de facto versus. segregation by custom. so it's by practice by will. what i found in doing research is that that's kind of not true. that there were very much public policies that were in place. that segregated kids of color. one of them obviously is labor. so you tend to live near your job. and if your job doesn't hire people of color or only hires people of color, you're going to live in a certain part of town. that's one commonality that separated blacks and latinos in bakersfield frs hiring practices. another that was critical was something called racial covenants. these were agreements between people who were buying property and selling property that again you would not

south and the u.s. in the do things that are problem or the north knows that so they are trying to manipulate the chinese, americans, and south koreans. host: we are talking with bruce bennett, the rand corporation's -- or set to take place this week between the u.s. and south korea calling in from south carolina on the republican line. go ahead. we are going to do the exercises anyway. back to the previous , these groups are coming out -- have bruce now we bennett here to talk about north korea. answer to going he will do what he wants to do. 80's to go ahead and take action, military wives or whatever. host: what do you think about the president passes rhetoric and the ongoing escalation? we do not know for sure how it will eventually play out been think kim jong-il has absolutely surprised an american president is prepared to stand up for -- to him. north koreans for a long time beenblustered, unreasonable in their arguments, they threaten all the time to create a sea of fire in south korea which suggests the use of a nuclear weapon. this kind of case, i think president trump has done a good job of saying that w

north korea talks more about the attack on gam and other south american companies don't want the unitedtes intervening in venezuela. pwe got to start with charlottesville. three lives lost. two virginia state troopers, h jay cullen and berk bates died in a helicopter crash while responding to the violence and demonstrating against the white nationalists rally. man accused of killing her is now being held without bail tonight. lindsey watts is in charlottesville with how the city is moving forward in the aftermath. . >> reporter: by now you've surely seen the violence that played out here in charlottesville over the weekend. but tonight we wanted a show you a little bit of how people live here know this town, it's a beautiful community. my first time here and even though the protesters cleared out. there are still signs of what happened here on saturday. you can see the sign down the street at the movie theater that said strong. walking around these streets you can really see on people's faces how what happened has taken a toll on them. a little while ago a i saw a woman crying. people h

he spent his form a tiv years in the american south and that region continues to be somewhat of a muse for him. he's written book after book about it. >> mark let me start with you. steve bannon is out of the white house but his intellectual influence steeem the to still dominate. in a sense he says i agree with the thesis of your book which is as long as the left plays identity politics-desh he said bring it on. it does appear donald trump whether he has him in the white house or not is still listening to steve bannon because that is the strategy they're pursuing. >> if steve bannon says it works for him i'm inclined to agree with him. he's someone who knows his business. identical politics in this country really means two things. on the one hand, it means a focus on understanding our social problems. and understanding any problem in america you need to understand identity. but when it comes to addressing those problems, identity politics as a strategy has been disast disasterous. because rather than establishing a connection between those affected by the problems and those who may be

african american woman in the south. in the early 20th century in particular, southern states began to disfranchise african american men who had been voting in the states and serving in congress and serving in state legislatures, and ruling cities. 1980s it begins with the mississippi constitution of 1890. southern states took the vote away from african american men who gained it after the civil war. and they were disfranchised by men means. one was the poll tax. of course. because african americans tended to be to have a much harder time in the labor market. and so they tended to be poorer and had trouble getting up the money for poll taxes. unfairly administered literacy tests. make sure everybody is clear on what those were. they were tests that didn't just ask you to read something. they had you you go in and the voter registrar who is white. say okay id i'd like you to read the section 3, paragraph two of the mississippi constitution. and you'd read that and interpret that. what does that mean. and of course no matte

question about it, brian michelle and i were talking about earlier today, the complex history of the american south. there are monument and memorials to confederate war heroes in many, many cities. there are streets and parks named after robert e. lee. in my own hometown of arlington, lee highway. how does this complex history play out when, in many ways, it can wound so deeply. what's going to happen to leesburg, virginia are they going to change its name >> tyler, that has plagued us really since the founding of the republic slavery, civil war, reconstruction, jim crow, the civil rights movement. you know, this has been with us for our entire history and it is a difficult process and i think it has to be worked out by each locality, taking into account their individual needs you know, you and i come from the university of virginia, founded by thomas jefferson. i'm not going to pretend to be neutral about mr. jefferson. i wouldn't have a job if it weren't for mr. jefferson. >> but he owned slave holders? >> but he himself is a controversial guy. >> yes. >> who even this year there's been talk abou

her older sister was skilled fighting against the south vietnamese army and americans and she herself had been taken and interrogated and waterboarded when she was like 16 years old. so she was someone who had a very deep hatred of the south vietnamese army and the americans, who was completely committed to fight. i thought it would be an interesting way to introduce to american readers the story of the battle that we think of as an american. >> host: we're so use today demonizing the enemy, especially in fiction, but not even nonfiction accounts of this war. so, this is a description of hue, and the tet offensive that took place around the lunar new year? >> right, tet is the annual new years celebration. it's the biggest holiday in vietnam. in january, 1968, there were fewer than a thousand arvn troops stationed in the city and surrounding area and a smaller number of americans. as the holidays approached, a large portion of the former were looking forward to a long holiday furlough. in this peaceful city during tet, it was traditional to send cups and papers with lit candles floati

they have always been problems in south american societies. cessarily caused by governments, but a few families and cartels who amass all the wealth. this creates problems in south american society, the public. it takes more sophisticated solutions than having a left— right political argument. seeing the whole thing in isolation this is the classic donald trump view of the world, presenting things as if they were completely new, is if this has not happened before. he does it with immigration, terrorism, and it is a farfrom does it with immigration, terrorism, and it is a far from impressive approach to the whole issue. and it is a far from impressive approach to the whole issuem and it is a far from impressive approach to the whole issue. it is quite hard to move away from donald trump. secondly lets turn to north korea and its continual testing of ballistic missiles. at the time of our conversation, we await a un security council vote, later on saturday, on a resolution to strengthen sanctions against the country. the resolution is drafted by

it says the japan launch was a response to american and south korean military exercises.rent president of the security council delivered this statement on behalf of all its members. translation: the security council further condemns the dprk for its outrageous actions, and demands that the dprk immediately cease all such actions. the security council stresses that these dprk actions are not just a threat to the stresses that these dprk actions are notjust a threat to the region, but to all un member states. the security council expresses its grave concern that the dprk is, by conducting such a launch overjapan, as well as its recent actions and public statements, is deliberately undermining regional peace and stability, and has caused grave security concerns around the world. addressing the security council, the american ambassador nikki haley emphasised the unity of the international community in the face of the latest missile launch. the world is united against north korea, there is no doubt about that. it is time for the north korean regime to recognise the danger they

cliches run by propaganda, but the reality is that there have always been endemic problems in south americanlems are not necessarily caused by governments, but they are also caused by a few families and indeed cartels who amass all of the wealth and this creates huge problems as far as the fabric of south american society is concerned and it takes far more sophisticated solutions to deal with that than simply having a left — right political argument and seeing the whole thing in isolation. this is the classic trump view of the world, presenting things as if they were completely new, as if we were in year dot and this has never happened before. he does that with everything. he does it with immigration and with terrorism and this is fact a far from impressive interpretation of the situation. we will endeavour to give a view of the situation, but if we can't talk about that then let's talk about north korea because we have reflected a lot about further testing of ballistic missiles. at the time of this conversation today, we are awaiting a un security council vote. that is due on saturday on a

confederate womanhood. ,hey burned and ransacked homes the geographic epicenter of womanhood in the american south. even when they left building's standings, they often destroyed domestic -- that made the house a home. soldiers frequently ransacked bedrooms, rummage through women's unmentionables. of dead relics relatives. freed domestic and field slaves. smashed pianos and otherwise destroyed various vestiges of elite white women's world. several soldiers let descriptions similar to this where one fellow played on the piano while his comrade danced on top of the instrument and then he drove and ask through it. rather than the actions of unrestrained men in the chaos of ar or the -- necessary to be army on the move. this was designed to psychologically beat women and men of the confederacy. incorporating gender into the military story complicates the connection between sherman's march and the union victory. confederate women often urged -- emerged more committed. even if elite women were generally stronger secessionists than men, this ardent confederate loyalty was even more pronounced after union

this week i want to caution those that associate white supremacist imagery squarely with the american southat you should understand fort hamilton is only a few miles away from our studio home in manhattan. in my hometown of brooklyn, new york, and it is a story i know very well because two years ago i led a group of activists at national action network demanding those very streets be changed, the names of them be changed in ft. hamilton, but i want to keep your focus on the location because brooklyn is obviously nowhere near the historical confederacy, yet it is also not being alone in a non-southern city dealing with the questions raised by charlottesville this week. because yesterday we saw yet another right wing rally, only this one was far to the north of the mason dixon line in the quintessential yankee city of boston. and along with the removals in durham, north carolina, and baltimore this week, there were monuments removed in cities far removed from the old south, places like helena, montana, and hollywood, california. montana, hollywood, boston, places have no immediate association
