were not that many chinese american kids, but they were citizens aced on american law, so they grew up in american society that rejected them. in a chinese american society that was at odds with their experience growing up in american schools and an american amosphere, trying to find life, the chinese community was isolated from the rest of american society. >> what was it like? you had the great depression, the start of world war ii, and a transformation during that time had thely and you chinese american -- chinese immigrants trying to assimilate as best they could. >> that chinese immigrants had been coming since before the turn of the century but it was a tiny trickle and they were just not allowed in. so it is their children i'm focused on and they grew up in an era in which there was growing patriotism about china. hada had been an empire and fallen into warlord-ism. under theeen reunited nationalist party and a lot of chinese-americans were proud of this. america marginalized in and they are often indignant about their status as american citizens and increasingly have opportunit

american society. steve: let me go back to earlier point. what was it like? you have the great depression, the start of world war ii, and certainly a transformation in this country internally. you have these chinese immigrants coming to the u.s., trying to assimilate, as best as they could. prof. brooks: the chinese immigrants have been coming since the 1840's. they were not allowed in. it is really their children that i am focusing on. they grub in a time when there was growing hatred for china. china had been an empire until 1911, and then had fallen apart. been gradually, it had reunited, mostly, under the innese nationalist party china. a lot of chinese-americans were really proud of this. and yet, they were marginalized in america. they are often ambivalent about their status as american citizens. they increasingly had opportunities. think recently thought about, maybe we should go to china, where our race will not be an issue. that is really what i talk about in my paper today. thousands, i think

fitz only american forces who can do that why is it american-trained forces can't do it? >> there's a huge difference between trained forces who are local who are left on their own and trained forces that get logistical support, forward support and other support from the united states. that's what we're talking about. nobody's telling the american people we should send our young people back to fight as infantry in these places like we did in iraq and afghanistan with 6500 casualties. what we're saying is advisory teams, logistics, air support those kinds of things. that's extraordinarily inexpensive compared to our companies in campaigns in the last decades, these people are willing to fight, be in iraq or afghanistan, they need our help to do it. >> the question is never the willingness or ability of american soldiers, there is, you said americans have battalions in the field in those areas, the american public doesn't have much of a stomach about this. >> the american public is changing its opinion. the american council of global affairs note ed in the last survey a sig

figures in all of american history. and we can contest that and come up with other examples, but i still would defend that just for the purposes of argument and our discussion today. ok, here is where we are going. we are going to look at the adams and their careers in 1765-1775. when the american revolution is starting to happen. then, we will do a dissection of one of the most famous letters in the correspondence, all of you have seen this and perhaps taught it, remember it is in every women's anthology in history. we have a few new things to say about it. we will take a look at a very , the summer of 1776, lots of things are happening at the same time. both politically and that they -- they are writing the declaration -- the british fleet is arriving on long island with soldiers to destroy the continental army. and abigail and john have all the kids, all four of them, in boston up for inoculation. so you have this personal and this public story going on at the same time. and we are going to take a look at what adams

many of you know she's a very familiar voice on american urban radio, longtime commentator on american politics, been a reporter for more than 30 years and, obviously, in that amount of time she's seen her share of politics and politicians. she's been a white house correspondent for the networks since 1997, covered the presidencies of bill clinton, george w. bush and barack obama. and i think that you read her book, you'll find it's a compilation of a lot of years of observation and a lot of years of immersion in that world of the american presidency. and she's learned a lot, for sure. but i think at least from my vantage point what is most important about april is not the reporting itself, but it's sort of what she does with her reporting. she is one of one or two african-american journalists -- [inaudible] but she has been intent on using that platform to bring news and information to communities that are also too often ignored and marginalized by the conventional news media. and over the years she literally, literally has become herself a news outlet, a resource for millions of amer

to most social scientists who look at the issue of american christianity, the history of american christianity isn't the story of a perennially productive field or an island gradually losing its ecological health. it's a story of the great social storms that blow across the american heartland. what does that mean? >> guest: most people, social scientists in particular but most people who are experts in religious studies, try to explain what goes on in american christianity by reference to what's gone on with the middle class. so if something happens in christianity, it must have been caused by some development in the middle class, some great storm that blew across the fields of the midwest and that metaphor that you just cited from my book. but if you look at the big things that have happened to the american middle class, virtually none of them have had any direct effect on christianity. not any significant effect. world war i, no significant effect. world war ii, the significant effect was the baby boom afterwards which increased the total membership of churches but didn't increase significan

of white americans. immediately after slavery, they attempted to become post-racial. go back and look at the photos at the time. frederick douglass even adopted the hairstyle of white america. he attempted to run for office and in fact did. you had african-americans who bought into the whole idea of american democracy and ran to the united states senate. they weren't trying to put forward an african aesthetic. they put together -- and what happen the whole idea was fully bought into by african-americans who wanted to go to school at the schools of white americans. they wanted to get the same education and never thought about a separate ideal. it was only later when the country itself rejected it. african former slaves not only did not have revenge but they attempted to buy into their norms and their dress and their style of doing our hair. look at the way we do our hair. the first black millionaire is someone who was able to help african-american women adopt the hairstyle of white americans. the post- ra

so the fact is that most americans and americans i spoke to this morning you know across party lines said this was a waste of money it's been going on since may of 2014 and as a republican who would not vote for hillary clinton, my judgment is this was not a good day for republicans. >> at the republican national committee, talking to folks over there when hillary clinton is the likely nominee they now have as you pointed out 11 hours about her on the record for benghazi and if she was misleading or false on one little thing they can now argue that they can use that as an attack ad against her reminding them of benghazi and the administration failures. >> the issues are baked. they have a candidate that's flawed, untrust worthy and what have you. what we do know is yes, i think congressman duckworth kind of hit it, what should we be doing going forward? you had from ambassador stevens the security issues, those are the things that are focused from. several of those requests they went through appropriate channels but what about the main argument, from the republican colleagues a few y

betty: americans and the american public still have a mistrust of the chinese. a pew center poll recently said 54% of americans view china unfavorably. how does the president plan to change that perception? >> the results of opinion polls vary from time to time and from place to place. my understanding of american society is that there is a deep awareness of the importance of nurturing better relationship between our two countries. so i believe that the american people attach a great deal of importance to the visit. of course, we have had some early harvest of this new model of the relationship between us. for instance, the trade between the two countries has grown quite a bit, and there are more student exchanges between us. on the international scene, there has been good coordination between china and the united states, from the middle east to some parts of africa. from afghanistan to the korean peninsula. so a better relationship is in the interest of both of our peoples and the world. of course, a relationship cannot be free from any problems. even people so

japanese americans and african americans in particular are featured in this gallery. we are committed to telling diverse stories of americans here at the museum, but we try to tell those stories within the context of the overarching narrative of the american experience in world war ii. so in italy, visitors will find out stories about who foughtricans with the 92nd i.d. they will find out stories about japanese americans fighting with the 442nd regimental combat team, and they are going to find out how tough it was to fight against the elements. once again, the environment and nature plays a terrible role in this campaign where we are fighting up mountains trying to drive towards rome. we're standing next to a panel involving john r. fox's story. john fox was an african american fighting with the segregated 92nd infantry division. he ordered a mortar fire to come down on his position in the midst of a german attack where, frankly, the germans were about to break our line. when fox was discovered a couple of days later, he was surrounded by over 100 dead germans. so in

why is it fair to tax all americans at the same rate as opposed to taxing more affluent americans at higher rates? >> well, if you look at my flat tax it takes the best of what steve forbes and many have been advocating for a long time which is a very strong pro-growth tax code, very simple. and it adjusts it to make sure it is not regressive. we have a $2,750 per person tax credit. that's $2,750 off taxes due, not a deduction, a credit. and, in fact, if you run the numbers, no american who is going to be more taxes under our propose sool we've accomplished both. we have a system that has a low single rate but we take care of american families. $2,750 per feperson. a family of four, that's a $11,000 tax credit. if you look at the "wall street journal" today and so many other publications that have been out there, they talked about how the biggest problem of the hallollog out of the middle of this country is the breakdown of the american family. a liberal said that on the "wall street journal" today. the key to poverty is families. so we put forth a pro-growth steve forbes plan, combi

are the american citizens? -- they american citizens? how do they come to the united states if they cannot prove who their father was? it creates a lot of thorny legal, political, and moral questions that the country has to grapple with. steven scully: we have been talking with a lot of historians, but in your area of expertise, unique because it is relatively recent and you have firsthand accounts. who are you able to talk to and what are you asking? amanda demmer: i have just begun the interview process and i view the project as what historians call top-down and bottom-up. in the top-down approach i am talking to american officials. i have a chance to interview pete peterson, a prisoner of war during the conflict, he was a congressman thereafter. and then he was the first u.s. ambassador to vietnam. other state department officials and so on. i have just begun the process of speaking to vietnamese americans, hopefully something i will be returning attention to in the near future. there is a very surprising quality of archival records l
