can you imagine if i'd be on this, that was boston, boston, like you said, he was with a company called transform x peptide, boston and confronted them about the quality of some of their products. because he was getting complaints the best he actually came to the house in boston divided a man and you kind of explain the whole situation to um, even though he was promoting the usage and sale of these products, i think he wanted to help us clean up the industry that's just like everything is if a side you don't really know what you're, what you're getting from what you see people post stuff online and they lie about the results of certain products just to get you to buy them. the new place. second open means busy import, an open classic busy. i'm pretty happy with the results because last time i place 3rd and open and see and did it. and project open. so now obviously we made improvement before our an old try, but this i never know how men can be used for any concerns about his health. oh yeah, i can think nice things to stop histories. i only can do to support k and the car is for him to

on the streets of boston that night. and the whole thing is essentially packed, edged for british consumption and to london. adams is instrumental in sending some 96 depositions of people from that evening. an interesting thing, if you read through them is that everyone was there and everyone saw something completely different. i mean, even the position of the moon is different in some of these accounts. but his point was he needed to get the report of this violence in the streets, which he had been dreading and warning of for since 1768, when troops arrived to london as quickly possible because, of course, martyred boston needed to get the attention there should not be any interest whatsoever in what might have provoked this outburst on the part of the soldiers who were deeply provoked, by the way, and were pelted with things that evening, as you know, by the populist populace of boston. so adams has for a year and a half before the massacre, been writing these very tendentious pieces, very lurid pieces about the crimes

so is the the boston port bell boston was and you can see here this drawing of what boston looked like the time it's a has a bigger footprint now than it did then but it was a basically an opinion ursula almost an island surrounded by water commerce was crucial to what boston did this crucial to the entire economy of the colony, not just in boston itself, but in massachusetts. in massachusetts, a whole everything came in and out of boston. and what the boston port bill did was it closed the port to all shipping said nothing can go or out and they basically man you can see this and letters are almost immediately the dead people were were starving. i mean there was no economy was cratering almost immediately and. it was supposed to be closed officially on june 1st. so even before it closed up and down the colonies, this news brought about this closure. other colonies to respond. and in virginia, this is for of you who've been to williamsburg. this is the reconstruct it governor's palace, the royal governor had called and the burgesses into assembly and they were deliberating on other thi

some of the housing stock in boston is some of the lowest in the country. this seems like a problem that in parts of the u.s. you have this old housing stock and everyone is talking about building more new housing, and it is cheaper to rehabilitate what we already have, but it still requires some money. i'm wondering what the federal government can do -- what can federal and state governments to helpdo -- do to help housing agencies rehabilitate housing stock. kenzie: the number one thing is we need significant federal support for this. the way mathworks, i -- math w orks, if we subtract a bunch of units from communities, that is not getting as to the net supply. that is one thing we lost from the transition from the back better to the inflation reduction act. we will look for the 119th congress to come through with the funding we need. in boston there are many neighborhoods of the city were people can only live because of the house we built in the 1940's. and they are critical residents of those neighborhoods, but with something we have frankly gotten look

college in the boston garden. it was the same day i had my final interview for the rhodes scholarship. it was in baltimore and the game was in boston, so i was torn. we had an alum from harvard who solved the situation and said, going to send a plane down to pick you up in the baltimore airport, a private plane. before the selections are made. fly to the boston garden. you can make it in time for tip- off and that is what happened. i changed into my uniform on the way there. i got to the garden a few minutes before tip-off. boston college was a strong team. they were favored by 12. i had the best game of my college career. i had 19 points, 14 assists, and eight steals. they were favored by 12, but it was nip and tuck the whole way. we were up, they were up. they finally won by three points. i remember, my goodness. i have to call to see if i won a rhodes scholarship. in my uniform, i went to the paycor's in the concourse of the boston garden and dialed up and said, can you tell me what happened? they said, congrat

he said, hey, it was good for the church, the catholic church in boston. for the preachers, the protestant preachers, and it was good for the candidate. >> wow. >> let me ask you guys, maybe you can remember, there is the story. i don't know if it was teddy white that started tearing up after kennedy won west virginia. he said, oh my gosh, these people, they looked past his catholicism and still voted for a catholic. the statement was followed up, well, it wasn't really. not anything more than all the cash that was dumped on him. >> i knew a fellow. he was a member of the governance council. uniquely impotent board in massachusetts. his name was sonny. and he was a very good friend of cardinal cushing's and the ambassador of joe kennedy. and he was charged with taking the satchel of cash. it was cash, to west virginia. to disperse. and you had people in west virginia that were going to disperse it. the only question that bobby kennedy ever had about what transpired, according to sonny, was not whether it was legal or illegal. they knew it was illegal and e

not long after that, the boston tea party takes place. parliament response to the coursef ts which are i'm sure you all know, designed to punish massachustsn boston for the boston tea and the gat the course, of course, of acts are really emblematic. these fears he had long harbored the brisgovernment it's sign of autocracy, corruption. the fact that liberty is in decline in great britain and he's concerned that britain is going to drag america down the same path that america which he really envisioned its last holdout of liberty, is going to see liberty erode as a result of the course of acts by 1774. he is openly predicting that war is going to come to pass. he says that he will take up arms if war happens. a he ends up serving on a local committee of correspondents. he's at the forefront of resistance by. 1774 in response to the course of acts. there are a couple of letters in particular. gates writes, during these years, which which are particularly revealing. and unfortunately, gates did not keep a copy of most of his personal corresp

a set of acts known as the coercive acts or the citizens of boston call them the intolerable act.that is caused a lot of uproar, not just in boston massachusetts where these acts are being enforced but in many other colonies as well. so a sense of grievance spreading in 1774. in 1775 we saw the outbreak of hostilities, armed hostilities from lexington and concorde in april of 1775, the battle of bunker hill, the formation of the continental army and in november of 1775 two months before common sense hits philadelphia bookstores we see a royally appointed governor in virginia by the name of lord dunmore offering an extraordinary proclamation to enslaved men of fighting age if they come and join royal forces to cross -- crush these rebels. now calling themselves patriots and he will grant them lifelong freedom so gradually slowly but surely tensions have been ramping up and what began as some modest political disagreements now seems on the verge of breaking open into something much more trying. peter: how strong was the loyalist sentiment at the point when common sense was published

york city was probably the second most important center in the harbor surpassing philadelphia and boston. the delancey's wanted to solidify that in new york. the way that they were able to do it they set up organizations to promote trade and to make sure more ships were coming into the harbor. in 1768 after they are elected they started to implement their political views and their economicer views and they foundd something called the chamber of commerce which is still around today. it's a different format that is stillun around. it regulates trade in new york. the majority of the members are from the delancey family in the majority of the members going to be loyalists of the american revolution and they set up a society. in terms of their equivalents a our moderate people often think the delancey's are loyalists. they were tories and they were on a different spectrum. the delancey think staying within the british empire in british empire is going to benefit new yorkers almost exclusively through trade but they want to make sure new york city this setup is the most profitable in the colon

this coin was minted in boston the 1660s.the de of 52 though $0.12 penns equals one shilling and 20 illings equal to the british sterling silver coinsith three $0.03 six $0.06 a 12 $0.12 were minted by boston from 1652 until 1682, but all bore the date of 1652. the only year the mint was officially to strike coins. the mint in boston only print coin mint up coins in 1652, so they just kept doing it for the next 20 years, but they always put that that date on their. fortunately, scholars have seen the progression of the different types over the years images on the coins included willow, oak and pine trees, with the latter the most famous the olden family, like other colonists, used a wide variety of coins from both england. new england, from europe. it's a it's a wonderful little coin. and these are very popular. the mfa up boston has a wonderful sampling of the different types the oak trees, the pine trees, the willow trees. and over at pilgrim hall, where i was the curator for many years is a tiny little oak tree. a coin lik

the good old boston toast. this is good old boston, home of the bean and the cog. she is a cabinet.heodore roosevelt who is a geekie, naturalist, he is doing -- he smells like formaldehyde. he has specimens in various stages of decay in his pockets. he is not the roosevelt we know from mount rushmore, right? imagine that going after the most eligible bachelorette in boston. >> and then his older sister, bamie, you've talked about her as an incredible political strategist. >> well, bamie, only three years older than theodore but she is almost a substitute mother. she moves him into his harvard apartment. she decorates it for him. she is the one who will sell six west 57th street after the death of her mother as well. she will oversee the construction of sagamore hill while she is absent. he will take -- she will take care of his child for three years while he is in the badlands. consequently, she meets queen victoria during her stay in london and she becomes an emissary of information from the uk to the u.s. she is the one who suggested theodore roosevelt consider assistant secretary

the good old boston toast. and this good old boston home of the been in the cod where the locals talk only to the cabot's and the cabot's talk only to god. she's a cabot. right. so theodore roosevelt, who's you know, a geeky. he's doing he's he smells like formaldehyde. he's got specimens in various stages of decay in his pockets. he's not the roosevelt we know from mount rushmore. right. so imagine that going after the most eligible bachelorette in boston and then his older sister, bam, you've talked about her as an incredible pillow strategist. well, bambi, only three years older than theodore. but she is almost substitute mother. she moves him his harvard a she decorates it for. she is the one who will sell six west 57th street after the death of her mother as well. she will oversee construction of sagamore hill. well, he is absent. she'll take care of his for three years while he's in the badlands. and more consequentially, you she she meets queen victoria, her stay in london and she becomes an emissary of

could you tell us about those which i think preceded the events in boston what what happens here?t this is just an indication of why people drift toward alexander mcdougal and away from the alliances. so montaigne's tavern was a popular tavern in the city and was not far from lovers of liberty for liberty. paul was erected new york after the stamp act and was talking about british soldiers earlier on. british soldiers, when they were off duty, quite enjoy, drink and one particular regiment was determined to cut down this pole. so they kept to cut down the poles. sometimes they failed. they wouldn't quite do it, but they eventually it. and the new yorkers just put up another one at one of the times when they cut it down, they cut it down into little pieces and. they dumped it all in front montaigne's tavern. and people are obviously this tavern and they're enjoying their drink well. so they come out and there's a lot scuffle between them. there's glasses, there's tables getting thrown over and that's just belgian new yorkers resentment against british. so macdougal, he this he just

like like when people visit boston, right. and they're like, well, what are the five things i have to see in boston are like fenway park. it's a cathedral. it is one of the central aspects that boston sticks its identity upon. right. and a lot of these baseball cities relied upon their stadia in order to make a part of the urban identity, in some fashion. secondly, media are essential to making baseball popular. we're going to spend a whole week diving into sports and media later in the semester, but just will tease it a little bit here. when newspapers into existence in the 1800s, they began covering baseball games regularly. that helped interest that help increase rate. leo was especially essential for baseball as popularity to skyrocket. why would that be the case? why would why baseball so on radio in a way that other say particularly a basket ball and hockey love them absolutely to listen to on radio why does why is why is radio biased toward baseball because it moves so that you can individually like the player the play

boston keeping their kids alive. and during the and abigail to ast thursday, which was july 18th, 1776. i went with the we call this a spreading i went with multitude into the kings street to hear the proclamation inenceead and pmed colonel craft read from the balcony of the state house the proclamation as soon as he here and that this cry from the baony. god bless god save our states. and so everybody with smallpox was standing in this near the state house. nobody knew if they were contagious or not. but they're all just standing there and multi spreading event and the little red cone. was there during that those days, nancy i don't know if she was standing there during those days. i'll pay for that. i'll pay for that one later and 70, 96, alexander hamiltonon of medal to replace john adams as a presidential w g named thomas pinckney and abigail usingsinomy said, oh, i have read his heart in his d many tes devil the very devil is in them. and john called him the b a scotcheder. he said that which is it was true that

well, in the boston marathon, of course, it's a major national event. and so we provide basically federal security help. now, organization of that is a force and there are different levels and so forth. but we play a role in that. and of course, once it was determined was a terrorist action, we become the lead agency and so we would oversee the investigation. but the actual manhunt was, of course, an ongoing thing. and the local police very much interested in helping. so everybody was looking for for the bombers. what was the process of getting this boat from owners? i just with people who lived in watertown, massachusetts. well, as you can see, given all the damage to it, the insurance company basically it this is trash. and so they paid off the policy for the owner took possession the boat and then offered it to us. and we were looking to highlight some of our big investigations the last couple of years this certainly qualified. it also enabled us, of course to talk about those cooperative efforts because we've got a motorcycle from the boston pd. we

the british had been occupying boston for a number of years. and then in april. 1775, they do a sweep the countryside looking for weapons and malcontents, and they have two encounters with militia at lexington and concord, and then a fighting retreat back to boston. and the result of this is that new england rises up and militias from every state come to besiege the british in boston. john is an adjutant with a connecticut regiment stationed roxbury, which then it's now part of the city. it was south of the city. and on june six he. turns 19. 11 days later in the afternoon, he hears an enormous of muskets and artillery north of the city, four miles away from where he is. and what's happening is this this is the painting he does ten years later of, the final british charge of bunker hill. the british had tried to take the position twice. in the harbor.rtillery on ships but the muzzles of the cannon could not be raised high enough to cover goia hill. so those first two charges were re decimated. but the third charge the americans had begun tout o

in greater boston it is 900 $80,000 for the median home price. if you go statewide, it's 650 1000. that is 200,000 more than the national average. people are being priced out of the economy. we are now the second most expensive state to live in for working families. i see incorporating western mass as a way to alleviate that. obviously it's going to come down to funding that senator warren and i can agree we need to invest in western mass. alternative energy is screaming in western mass. even a very limited nuclear in western mass. we could get hydro from canada and that would create jobs and help the economy. so i'm all for it. we've got to do it. it would alleviate all kinds of issues not just for western mass but the entire state. moderator: you have one minute. sen. warren: i am glad to hear mr. deaton endorse east-west rail. that's why i'm in the fight alongside richard neal to make sure we get all of our colleagues in washington to sign off on this so we can actually get the funding for it. part of the way we get that funding is when democrats can stay in the majority in the

not top ended 3030, that was blaming the soviet union, was seen as the bus young of lucian on the boston of change, which off with some people designed from the apollo new york. of course, we know that from 1900 on 17 of cost in the fast wild duel they're, all of the soviet union was not as prominent as it became after the world war $2.00 . when the cold war then came into the arena. and we could very easily talk of by for a while, the west on the soviet union. so in many ways, when african countries are now involved in the struggle for independence in 1900 done for this through to 1900 on fifties and ultimately 1900 as 6 does, the not trying to lie was seen to be the soviet union for a number of reasons, if you look at the african national congress in south africa, many of the freedom fights as well gravitating towards the soviet union. not only for you do a logical reasons, but for support financial support, and not only full financial support, sometimes ministry support on businesses eastern side to be made. so when you look at south africa, you'd find that there was a very intimate r

unitarianism became very popular sort of in boston in greater boston in that part of new england.ought it would take over america. thomas jefferson was one of them. he thought it would be the states of america. but in fact it was swamped by the rise of evangelical protestants. the methodist, the baptist the disciples of christ just mushroomed at an incredible rate. they new england creates -- they did not go away. but they were kind of overtaken by other ones. emerson was not evangelical in any way. but, they are interesting connections between the idea of this connection to god should be direct and not mediated. so there is a complicated stew cooking there the whole time. what emerson retained of christianity is that unitarian ground i think. >> you think of something else which is how much of this collection were you able to use here at the library? >> youe mean the books that are here? >> it probably took some books out of here but i became a rabid buyer abuse copies of books going to emerson it anyway which are clogging up the entire house. i will buy anything >> emerson's par

summer of 2007, a year after kennedy school and i am in boston. a bunch of personal stuff goes sideways. i am in a place where i felt i have to get out of boston and i have to get away from these emotional things that have happened that i cannot really process. i found a job in washington, d.c. for a small independent radio program that did monthly international affairs and radio documentary programs. they needed a producer. i got tired and came to d.c. and it is coming up now 17 years ago. that is the only thing that is difficult to comprehend. i started working for a program that started sending me out as what i would call a parachute journalist. i would go someplace for 1-3 weeks and gather material and then come back to washington and put together a program and then i would go back out. i immediately wanted to start going to afghanistan and iraq and all of these places that were conflict zones. there were stories of other journalist who had covered the battle of falluja and these other things. i felt a need to play catch-up. you know, again, i

for example, in the wake of strict, the boston laws, in the us abortions, i know band in a number of states, many women have no choice but to, to, onto the internet. there be productive rights organizations of and valuable support . like how to get the morning off the bill that post or directions to the nearest clinics and stays. well, boston is still legal, not to mention advice and counseling. measures like these can save lives at u. s. study found a link between restrictive abortion roles and highest suicide rates among women of childbearing age. and is the abortions have been committed under certain circumstances since 2005, the change significantly reduced maternal mortality because abortion is performed illegally by. i'm saying people are very dangerous, that sad, southern issues are still considered to move on to put no key this to us, but yeah, he was born in ethiopia. she's all too familiar with the tip. who was that provider country? after graduating from college university in the us, she, we took them to it's the yeah, the vision to advance women's health care with a start
