of black rights. he is clearly not on board with the expansion of the federal government in order to ensure black rights and the rule of law and the south. that would create one of the biggest constitutional crises in the united states. it is the first time a president is brought up on articles of impeachment. but we are getting ahead of ourselves. but i'm glad you brought up johnson because we will be talking about that today. we will be talking about the issues raised by reconstruction, about johnson and presidential reconstruction, and eventually how congress implements a program of reconstruction based on the idea of black citizenship, and comes close to impeaching andrew johnson. now, as i said, this is a very fraught period. the president is kind of disowned by his own party in a way. but how have historians understood this time? remember when we talked about different ar and interpretations, different interpretations of slavery? the same is true of reconstruction. historians have interpreted th

black men for nothing and then black men shooting why placement back as a revenge. oh a lot of. i truly doubt that that will happen that never really happens and there is a very small when you look at these police shooting is very very small segment of black cops shooting white. perpetrators is very small as a matter of fact around america the overwhelming majority of cops who shoot and kill people are white cops they shoot and kill white people black people spanish people asian people as you say a white cop as doing that is very rare and you know was really something that you don't understand and know in new york city in the history of new york city there's never been an on duty white officers shot while on duty cop where there's been several on duty black officers while he was working that was shot by cops that work and what p.d. because they had on plain clothes because what happens is when a cop see a black man with a gun it's a criminal when they see a white man running down the street with a gun they get from that split second to identify himself as a cop but you've got to

they say that slavery has ended but they try to restrict black white and black freedom and put black people as close a state to slavery as possible. some of these were egregious. the mississippi black coat was the worst. they enacted vagrancy laws. they said if a black person is found not working for someone, he can be arrested and fined. in order to pay his fines, he had to be led to a plantation. if a black person is tending his own land or is self-employed, he is defined as a vagrant. they forced black people to enter into year-long contracts to work at plantations. they could commandeer black labor their way they had under slavery. enticement laws, meaning if i had signed a contract with a black person his labor, if another person comes to him and offers a more money to work him, he can do it, that is a criminal offense, that is enticing criminal labor. that is not how wage labor works, if you are a wage laborer, you would work for the guy who pays you the most. laws,ticeship apprenticeship was seen as a nice thing, children would be apprenticed by the local craftsmen, they would

blacks welcomed it. it,ois wrote essays about showing how important it had to appeal toblacks the government. became associated with black rights in the south. is that lincoln cooperates with the republicans to pass the freedman's bureau bill. in terms of lincoln's plan for reconstruction, we will never know, because he was killed, but he actually helped form this agency with republicans in congress. he works withng congress on, does anyone remember? the first reconstruction amendment. does anyone remember what the amendment was? ryan? amendment,e 13th abolishing slavery. prof. sinha: absolutely. the 13th amendment to the constitution and 1835. that slavery should not exist in this country, except if you were duly convicted in a court of law. the second section of the amendment is really important. it says congress shall have the power to enforce this amendment. clearly the 13th amendment is saying congress should be deciding on how to implement black freedom. they should pass laws in congress to impleme

they say slavery has ended, that they -- but they restrict black rights and black freedom and put black people as close back to slavery as possible. some of these were egregious. there was a mississippi black coat that was the worst. they enacted vagrancy laws. if a black person was found not working for someone, they could be arrested, fined. in order to pay his fine, he is to be put to work for the local planter. they force black people to enter into year-long contracts to work on plantations. they kind of commandeer black labor as they had under slavery. enticement laws. meaning, if i had signed a contract with a black person for his labor, if another person offers him more money, he cannot do it. it is a criminal offense. that's enticing. is that the free market in wage labor? that's not how it works, right? if you're a wage laborer, you work for the guy who pays you the most. that is not allowed. apprenticeship laws. normally apprenticeship was seen as a nice thing, children would be apprenticed to a local craftsmen, learn a trade and become the craftsmen. what do the apprenticeshi

to protect black rights. so this notion that there was no peace after the war, that somehow the issues that defined the war was still being contested in the south, it is something really important to understand reconstruction. it was one of the most contentious periods in american history. you can have the mic. student: i find it interesting that andrew johnson was pro-state rights when he was doing reconstruction. it made it hard to implement federal rights for reconstruction, as well. it also made it hard because the president during reconstruction was not really in favor of so much federal outreach and federal power. that is interesting, i think. prof. sinha: an excellent point. andrew johnson presents a big problem for us. he is a states rights democrat before the war. because of an assassin's bullet, he becomes president and he is clearly not on board with the republican program of black rights. he is clearly not on board with the expansion of the federal government in order to ensure black rights and th

do black men march for us. are they outraged collectively. or when black men kill black women. we don't have a national conversation about that. and then when you bring it up there like why are you hating on brothers. all of these brothers to have been have been killed by top i spent several years writing in the press weekly. my commitment to black black men's lives and blackman a flourishing is on paper and i have the receipts to show for it. i'm a black feminist because they have the right to be at the center of our own story. because our priorities matter. the way that they sometimes feel entitled to take up all the racial space in the room is a problem. i think it's a black women who most consistently say that. we want to bring the women and the children and everybody to have a place. it becomes very easy to go that way. i demand the white women that afford them have any kind of solidarity you have to be willing to have antiracist analysis. if you're not can it --dash committed to that what are we talking about at all. >> this is always the question. young black women say t

they are sort of pioneers of black advancement. julius rosenwald, the first ceo, donated many funds to civil rights organizations, the black housing and schools, and on the other hand, sears had a long history of racial discrimination in employment. >> why? >> the thought was that white consumers for whom department stores are built and designed to cater to, not be receptive to african-americans touching the same goods, or any illusion that black americans are on equal status with white americans in the department store. as a result, that is why they embraced and reproduced jim crow practices. >> if you went to a sears roebuck store in the 1950's and he wanted to try on the outfit you are wearing today, you could not do it? >> depending on the location. each location had its own policies, but generally speaking , you would not be able to try it on. i recall my grandmother telling me she had gone to a downtown baltimore department store and in order for her to figure out if the clothing would fit her children, she would have to hold

the ideas was to have black female nrses stationed only in areas that had black troops. the problem with this is that once we get mid-way through the war, there's a famous story 87 aron american female nurses roughly 87 stationed at the pow hospital taking care of essentially less than 120 patients. pow patients, so white pow's, and that's just a really mismanagement of resources. but that was one of the arguments that a lot of supporters of black female nrses were saying that was a big mismanagement of resources when you keep talking about a nurse in shortage. yeah. [inaudible conversations] >> yeah, you know that's a really good question and on the question was -- could you say that there was an inferior education of black female nurses given the segregation nursing training programs? in some cases they might had not been trained in all of the same ways but a lot of these nurses were also believe it or not being trained in new england hospitals because these are some of the hospitals in training programs that would accept african-american female nurses. so there were m

at all of the predominantly black colleges, it wasn't until the mid 1960s that there were any black people on boards of trustees at the black public institutions. in the early 1960s, they were all white. it was an all white board of trustees. the governor of the state, john patterson, was the ex-chairman of the board. these black institutions got their operating funds from these legislatures that were fervent segregationists, all deeply committed to segregation, and the white power structure typically put into place black educators that would tow the segregationist line and would certainly, certainly suppress rebellion on campus. that was the expectation. and trapped by dependency for financing and other essential resources, these black college presidents did tow the line. they were in a very interesting position. on the one hand, they were privileged. they knew very important people. they knew very wealthy people. they knew sometimes very familiarly white leaders in their region, had a position few black people had. after all, the careers of their students, the careers of their faculty me

so it constitutes that is black power, white guilt is black power.hey are virtually one in the same, one of the big problems we have we talk about universities and political correctness and so forth. these are all ways in which white americans say, i'm innocent. i don't feel this way. i am not a bigot. i am not a racist. i am innocent. and white guilt causes this drive to prove and establish innocence. and so then we have a whole generation of black leaders who do one thing, and one thing only, milk white guilt. and we're at a moment, i thought this protest that was telling in that regard. kind of appointed -- kind of at a point in which culture meeting turning, it was a fruitless protest, it achieved nothing. mark: could the culture be turning? but elites digging in? >> that is wha well said. mark: more and more, i watch the debates on television. people very easily almost casualty call people they disagree with racist. if they disagree with a political agenda or a particular issue, that is come from the left, what do you make of it? >> 'is white gu

here in dallas county, there was a tremendous black-white ratio. blacks far outnumbered whites. luckily, the effects of allowing the state constitution to strip blacks of any political power here, it ensure that white democrats would be able to vote amongst themselves and appoint leaders for generations. under his tenure at the senate, a famousass constitution which stands as an example of the way other state governments went to great lengths to re-create a version of the old south during the. of the new south. the life of edmund pettus bridge occupies an important part in american history. it was dedicated as a symbol of white supremacy but within a generation, his history became reversed. it went from becoming a place of racial separation to being a place of racial liberation. in 1965, this became the setting for one of the most important moments of the civil rights movement. the had decided this was place he would make a pitch for voting rights. was part ofe segregation but also liberation. this was one modern marvel both bequeathed to the memory of white supremacy the became

the person under reconstruction in many states were black -- where black legislators were there with their allies changed the laws, so it wasn't the landowner to get the first profit, it was the laborers. you can trace that out and it goes act to the laborers. that made a difference. people were making a difference economically. political rights begot economic rights. you had people who lead this coup d'etat to overthrow the government writing black legislators to ask for favors. the power of the vote was soaked -- was so sacred and important, we forgot that. we can see what happened to america over the years and we forgot how important the vote is. african-americans understood it and they voted for their interests and it made a huge difference. you can go through all these things. so to think about what happened after reconstruction was overthrown, and what i call the restoration, is very different than what happened during those very short times, a truetime, 's rights in all sorts of things in the states were african-americans had an opportunity to elect people of their choice, and

to both the black and white press. the first the white press wanted to know from all the school desegregation plaintiffs, was one thing, do you want to go to school with white students? do you think you will become friends with white students? these were difficult even explosive questions to ask a young person and girls did well with these questions in general. the central question at the heart of the book is, why did girls act as plaintiffs and later as desegregation -- there are two reasons for the first is that girls, disproportionally, believed in the idea or ideal of desegregation. they believed that segregated schools were a moral crisis and they believed that they should change that. what allowed a girl to look at the edifice of a white school building and say to herself, her lawyer or her parents, i can go there, i can talk to the hostile white principal. i can hold my own with the white students. again, they felt a sense of responsibility that was unique to girls. when women recall their desegregating years th
