he issued his december 1863 proclamation of amherst -- amnesty which outlined the conditions under which the defeated state could be readmitted to the union. he stipulated they would be required to recognize the freedom of the former slaves and should provide for their education as well. just as african-americans recognize the power of education, they understood that freedom could not be secured without a political voice. no southern states permitted black men to vote at the beginning of the war even those who were pre-born -- freeborn. a couple of states extended the franchise to certain groups of black men and the decades after the revolution in the south. generally they were denied access to polls since the mid-1830's. the south was not alone. free black men and the north share the disadvantage and all but five states where they voted on an equal footing with white men. they were able to vote in new york but a property requirement and a residency requirement for black men bank that do not exist for white man in new york -- white men in new york. it was this unjust law that agitated fr

. >> which chard wolf joins us this morning from the university of massachusetts amherst. >> whatever happens in the stock market ramifies and touches everybody else. sooner or later, one way or another, directly or indirectly, this is a very bad sign about what's coming to the average person's life. >> yet i would point to some of the so-called fundamentals that we talk about. job growth in connection have been relatively strong in the last two years, and if oil prices do remain low as we're seeing now. couldn't that have the impact of benefiting the u.s. economy? >> well, the answers are yes and no. we've had more jobs, but they don't pay anymore than they used to, so the growth if he got of the job employment improvement isn't there, and like with oil, we've been expecting more spending by consumers but they haven't decided to do that, to take advantage of the lower oil prices by saving the money because they knew hard times were coming and now those times have arrived. what we're seeing i guess an economy that got way ahead of itself in the stock market. really, the only place tha

gary shilling from amherst college. stephen roach with us from yale university.by what gary said. for production to stop, like the leadership that glencore says -- will everybody stop mining? they are not, are they? supply is strong, especially with the new technology of fracking. but don't forget demand, and don't forget china, tom. over the last 10 years, china has accounted for 45% of the total growth in world oil demand. tom: does that go away? stephen: it does not go away, but as china slows gdp from 10 normal ofas the new the seven is less oil and energy intensive, that clearly has a major impact on the demand side of the global oil. tom: should the chinese government be more transparent about their stockpiles of commodities? we have no clue about what they have, do we? stephen: we want transparency from china, we want transparency from the fed, we want transparency from everyone. it would be helpful to have more permission on what the mix of these commodity stockpiles are, but we know on the basis of worldwide bp oil statistics, the role that china has pla

away and there's a fellow named chancellor, who's a distinguished fellow, professor, graduate of amherst, went to all sorts of colleges, ran the dc school district at one time. kathrine sibley: a historian even. david pietrusza: yes, a historian and author, a very, very big publisher of, respectable books but a thoroughgoing racist. he switches from republican to progressive, to democrat. he's at the 1916 democratic convention. and what becomes obvious that harding is going to be the nominee and the president, he becomes obsessed with harding's ancestry, goes all around collecting all these stories. and basically, my theory is that -- and they go all around the country. david pietrusza: there are handbills, a quarter million copies of this handbill alleging harding as black is seized in san francisco all across the country. david pietrusza: now, how do they get there? it's not from this -- it's not the lone crackpot, ok, he's got help. i believe it was the ohio democratic party, not wilson, not cox and not cox for a very interesting reason perhaps because there's an interview with the co

september has jpmorgan, barclays, credit suisse, amherst, pierpont, oxford economics.gan stanley and jeffries. not too shabby a list there among the decemberists. the minutes said conditions had not yet been met for hiking, but those conditions were approaching. some thought the conditions had already been met. but others saw inflation going the wrong way. they worried about china, about the strength of the dollar, about lower oil prices. all of which, of course, have worsened since the july meeting. yet jobs have remained strong. wages are picking up. we reported that yesterday. and the economy bounced back pretty smartly from the weak first quarter growth. and the case for zero rates for some, sort of the people we've talked to and who we follow on the committee seem to be eroding. >> the difference of opinion between september and december is perfect because it shows you exactly how the market reacted yesterday to the fed minutes. >> i think that's right. >> nobody has a clue when the fed is going to move. >> you know, and you could take a step back and say you know

bolger brought to life it at her, monitor, amherst college, a fraternity had printed t-shirts depicting a woman being roasted on a spit like a pig. those students went unpunished. take a minute to think about the message that sends to students male and female about how much their community values women. unfortunately, this is just one example of countless to choose from across the country. that is why the national conversation that students like ms. boulder have started and other leaders including many here today have stepped up to support is so absolutely critical. a country that values women and all individuals is stronger for it. we all me to do our part to keep this conversation going and many to make it louder. we have done far too little in congress over the years to support survivors and to be a voice for women across the country, daughters and granddaughters, who are counting on us. i am glad that chairman alexander and i agree that the health committee needs to join the debate on campus sexual assault. much more fully i want to thank all of our witnesses including our colleague

in amherst, massachusetts-- because i taught most of my adult life as a professor at the university of massachusetts-- there's a little copy shop that was set up 25 years ago called collective copies--hint--and they are a worker co-op and they've been wonderfully successful, and one of the reasons is they appeal to the university. they use lots of students as part-time jobs, and they cultivated a reputation, and they're willing to go an extra mile for a student who's jammed up and needs something at 3:00 in the morn--they do some things that cultivate a relationship with the community, and they out-competed kinko, things like that, and they were able to do that. and, again, i understand these are isolated, small examples, but i want to remind you capitalism comes into the world, beginning with isolated, small examples, and those have to be struggled over and reproduced and grown, and then something else is possible. another way to put this, and it goes back to your question about the unions, i like to use a parallel with slavery. there are two ways to react to slavery, and you always s
