a french observer of early america elected -- wrote that the greatness of america lies not in being moreightened than other nations. but rather in her ability to repair her faults. to amendments to our constitution and court decisions applying those amendments we abolish slavery, prohibited racial discrimination, and made men and women people of equal citizenship stature. in the vanguard of those perfections were people just like you. new americans of every race, and creed, making evermore vibrant our national -- out of many one. though we have made huge progress, the work of perfection is scarcely done. many stains remain in this rich land nearly a quarter of our children live in poverty. nearly half of our citizens do not vote. and we still struggle to achieve greater understanding and appreciation of each other across racial religious, and socioeconomic lines. yet we strive to realize the ideal to become a more perfect union. as well informed new citizens you will play your part. the vital part in that endeavor. by first and foremost voting in elections. also serving on juries. and en

jamestown is wrapped up with the finding of america. you found america. you begin america with the pilgrims. that is how you can build into history of all these turning points that allow you to move chronologically but assert origins at different moments. i told you before i was going to give away my example. 1643. does anybody remember now what the confederacy is? that everybody remembered it? this turning point in history? the 1643 confederacy? what happened in 1643? we talked about two weeks ago. who united? who came together? >> was in it some of the new england colonies to fight against the native americans. >> four new england colonies come together, uniting for common defense. this becomes one of the key turning points because it is a moment of union between the colonies prefiguring a much broader union of colonies, coming in 1776. people are celebrating 1643 in the 19th century. today, we do not remember it at all. this is how we think about public memory changing. it does not remain static. some things are remembered in one generation and forgot

he might just central america? >> there is a sense why? >> it is a dynamic in terms of why we see pushback from central america driving this migration the reason the population has changed so much from single adults to family and children is the recognition being advertised that phenomenon we see is a direct response that doesn't allow the completion of the proceeding and repatriation of those who don't havero valid asylum or protection claims so it is a broken system that invites these groups to come. >> this is statutory those three elements that they cannot keep the family together through the proceeding for at least 20 days there is a huge gap in the asylum process if someone has a fear of returning to their own country 85 percent of those past that initial assessment but at the end of the process the judge is really only seeing ten or 20 percent has valid asylum. with that three or five year period many don't actually file the asylum claim within one year of arrival there is a huge mismatch so a child from mexico comes across from tho

or other parts of latin america? >> i think that it is about jobs and opportunity and we saw some very effective strategies reaching out to small business owners but really it ties to the customs fees that are intrinsic so while not directly relevan relevant, supporting us government efforts to partner with those issues that would be a good policy approach going forward. i really believe that customs professionalism modernization and integration will make an impact on job creation of the region. >> we will have a chance to go to your questions. and then we will collect those for the commissioners consideration. let's continue the conversation with a slightly different lens not sure of the context. politically sensitive they affect families and individuals in you lay that out very clearl clearly. what word you wish washington would take away from this conversation or from the whole discussion about central america migration? the issues we are facing? >> but something i have grappled with a lot. and then to address tho

america first. and if lopez on radar is willing to make this a domestic issue he'll have to deal with the domestic situation in his country. the third thing i liked about the mexican president's idea goes back to our own national security strategy that the president published and it talks about shared responsibility. and so lopez obrador said we could play a certain role and that spoke of the idea of shared responsibility and i think that concept will resonate with the administration and therefore i think we should and would be willing to consider some of the options and new ideas putting forth by mexico. >> on the transactional point, we know the president wants a wall and -- and so far the democrats are not seeding any ground. the president is threatening to shut down the government over this particular issue. we did not hear the commissioner speak at any length about the wall. i'm not even sure if the words came out of his mouth. but we know that -- this is something that -- that there is support

benjamin rush america's greatest physician at the time of the revolution the finder of modern america medical practice new next to nothing about treating the sick. no one did. no one did anywhere in the world. nobody knew how to treat the sick. for centuries from the time of ancient greece doctors and almost everyone else on earth believe that all human illness is resulted from poisons that traveled in the air and collected in body fluids, the blood in the gastrointestinal tract and it would train the body of its poisons by draining toxic fluids and you would get rid of the illness. emptying the got was simple with laxatives. rush concocted a laxative that became known as thunderbolts. you can use your imagination as to why. after emptying the debt that left the vascular system. you couldn't empty people's blood without killing them. indeed at george washington's insistence he made the doctors keep bleeding him to cure, he had a throat infection, to cure his infection and then he finally died because they just let him to death. rush and most doctors were sensible enough to limit bleed

that's why make america great again remains a slogan that is social dynamite in a more diverse america. it's celebrated by david duke, the former kkk leader. it's celebrated by alt-white supremacists and white nationalists. it's a symbol of resentment towards this nation's racial progress over the last 70 years. again, just to sort of bring it home for all of you, on this friday night, i mentioned earlier that i'm 64. president trump is 72. we're about the same age, eight years' difference. nothing grand in terms of the scale of difference in age. but the progress in race relations that i have been describing to you earlier, especially the formation of that black middle class and the heightened black political voice, is the story of my lifetime. my dad's education, his housing, his jobs, were all limited by the color of his skin. my dad was born in 1902 and then here i am, born 1954, and if my dad came back to life in 2018 and he saw that i live in an integrated neighborhood, he would say son, that's a different world. and fe sif he saw my daughter's georgetown law degree, he would say

from this day forward, it is going to be only america first. america first.rian: have you ever heard anybody say britain first? prof. churchwell: they are just starting to say it on the back of trump. there has become a britain first movement. i am happy to say it is not gaining very much traction. as your question implies, it does not really work the same way. when trump said he had a new vision to govern the country, that was very untrue. america first is not a good idea. it is not a new vision. that is something i go into great detail in the book. the phrase does not even begin with charles lindbergh, as many people said it. it all but ended with them. it actually began in 1915 when woodrow wilson urged america to stay out of the first world war. he campaigned on that slogan. so did harding. he tried to pass a permanent protectionist tariff. think about that. in the name of america first. it was invoked to keep us out of the league of nations. to keep us from ratifying the treaty of versailles. there was this idea that we would be giving up our sovereignty

america. as the perfect personification of a better america. by culture and class in recent. his vehicle for using this was particularly the social media outlets like youtube in particular. one of the great media moments was when he appeared between two firms. the enrollment deadline is coming along shortly. what he understood about the change in the media environment was that you have to meet people where they are. and as it's become so diverse. as become essential to think about going to those media outlets where others are. the stars interviewed barack obama. it wasn't the same sort of traditional media full court press that you saw back in the days where television was more dominant but it was i think a very effective and realistic adjustment to how to mac this -- maximize your facility. we will turn briefly to trump and then i will turn it over to my fellow panelists. he is the voice of twitter. it will be an open question what it looks like after donald trump. we can imagine that the ide

in fact, we do debate today the role of america in the world. but wilson, 100 years ago, saw beyond the verizon of history and imagined that the world would need something like the you nigunited nations. and he founded it in 1919. while the u.n. doesn't work perfectly today, i think it's an amazing legacy of our 28th president to have seen so clearly what the world would need to minimize the risk of war in the future. >> you can watch this and other american artifacts programs any time by visiting our website, cspan.org/history. >>> c-span, where history unfolds daily. in 1979, c-span was created as a public service by america's cable television companies. today, we continue to bring you unfiltered coverage of congress, the white house, the supreme court and public policy events in washington, d.c., and around the country. c-span is brought to you by your cable or satellite provider. >>> on october 8th, 1919, alvin york fought in the meuse-argonne offensive and single handedly killed 25 men and helped to capture over 130. he received a medal of
