edgars history of south carolina covers things well, the encyclopedia of south carolina. the information is there, we just need to get it out to the people to see. it is part of our jobs as historians to do that. >> i would add that we have to keep in mind that learning occurs in many of our environments, not just the formal structures that we think of in terms of the schools and, but it occurs in places like this institution where we're sitting here, the churches in the community. so i think if our young people aren't informed, we have to all assume responsibility for it. and it's something that we have to continue to do. it's not a lesson. it's like a good story that you tell. it gets better every time you tell it. and so we have to continue to do that in many different places and assume responsibility for it. i'm going to come up to the front here and you can get in line. i just have a quick question. part of the challenge of history is helping young people understand, contextualizing who someone was who may have been around 150 years ago. i'm sure all of you have hear

or just in the state of south carolina? and also, to add to that, since we lack on visual images of great african-americans especially our robert smalls we would like to suggest that we would like to have an image, a picture, a color picture of robert smalls in every public and private school in the state of south carolina because it would be a good motivating factor for our youth who have been struggling in their self esteem to be associated with an african and to see robert smalls' picture when they are coming into the school. it would generate a sense of pride to say this african was about education. i can be like him. i can motivate him. but we need those images in the schools. and we would like to hear the response from the panel and for them to assist us in this effort because we need men and women of courage here in the state of south carolina. we need help. and i would like for you to respond and i thank you. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> robert smalls started the -- proposed the resolution to create the public scho

he served in the south carolina senate. he served in the south carolina house. and, of course, he was the collector of customs for the port of buford. but beyond those things, he provides us with sort of an understanding and a way of reinterpreting reconstruction, a way of reinterpreting the civil rights movement. now -- so he sort of brings together those two fields. you heard dr. powers allude to his being sort of the precursor to the second reconstruction because of what he did in the 19th century. well, let me start this way by talking about reconstruction and robert smalls' a role in it. you'll see how these two things come together in terms of how he has influenced american historiography. in 1909, w.e.b. dubois spoke before the american historical association in new york city. he did a presentation called "reconstruction and its benefits." and this essay or this presentation was actually published a year later in 1910 in the american historical review. in it, he offered one of the first revisionist interpretations of reconstruction. now, the general conse

and of course in that article he castigated the state of south carolina for its efforts or for the events and activities that had taken place between 1876 and 1890 to disenfranchise african-americans. he talked about the eight box law, for example, in this particular article. this was the law where african-american, of course voters in general, but more specifically african-americans had to come and make sure -- they had eight a different ballot boxes. you had to make sure when you cast your vote, that you put your ballot in the right box or it wouldn't count. he also of course castigated the state of south carolina for allowing the klan and the rifle clubs in the upstate areas, the democratic rifle clubs to sort of run rampant and to shoot and kill african-americans as they tried to vote. he called on benjamin harrison who was the president at that time to enforce the law, to defend the right to vote in the state of south carolina and in the south in general. were you trying to get my attention? okay. so smalls -- smalls, then, gives us an understanding then of how the civil rights movem

let me tell you, north carolina has never hosted a convention, never, and the las carolinas was in 1860, so there's a lot of pent up energy for this type of activity. so trust me, i think there's a lot of energy on the ground, and i think the president's going to do just fine. >> sir? >> thank you for doing this. hi, mayor, frank ordanius from "the charlotte observer." on fund-raising there have been some goals, haven't raised up to goals, 150 million well below the goals. the host committee said that fund-raising is r hasn't given any specifics and the spirit as you just said of an open and accessible convention, can you tell us how close, how much have you actually reaffirm that we are right on track, i feel very good about where we remember, we are doing s that's different than any convention in history to not take money from corporations, packs and lobbyists. with all due respect to my friend and colleague, mayor buckhorn, the convention down in tampa is doing just that. that's sort of the way these things have gone in the past. we're building a different type of airplane, and i thi

in fact, is there racial bias in north carolina?the 163 cases that involve death row in 2009, well, it is interesting because we had 50% or so were blacks that were put on death row. you know what percentage of north carolina's black? 21%. just a wild coincidence, i'm sure. it is more than two and a half times the percentage of your population. but you know what happened? you saw the numbers we just put up there. put those up again. okay. beverly perdue, the governor of north carolina wanted to protect the law from 2009. so she vetoed a legislation that republicans had to repeal it. they overwrote her veto. overwhelmingly in the senate, 31-11, in the house 72-48. if we want to do racial injustice, you have to let us do it. facts be damned. so what we put more blacks on death penalty. how about exonerations? look at these numbers. in the last 23 years, it was over 2,000 cases where people were exonerated. on dna, there was 292 exonerations. 181 african-americans, only 85 caucasians. is the country 2/3 black? oh no, it's not. much les

how are those south carolina solutions working out? 19% of south carolina residents are uninsured. that's well above the national average. the medicaid expansion in the law would cut south carolina's insurance rate to folks making less than 133% of poverty by 56%. 56% of the uninsured in that group wiped out in one go. that's the fourth best deal any state in the nation will get under the affordable care act. the cost of that for the federal government is significant. almost $11 billion. for south carolina, they will pay less than 500 million. in the short term, the rising republican star might have reason to reject that deal. the republican-based law and one way to build a national profile right now is to win the gop's ongoing, no i'm the most anti-obama politician contest. the contest isn't going to last forever. governors have to answer to non-republican voters who don't want their state missing out on billions in federal dollars and those who don't want to pay for uninsured patients that end up in the emergency rooms when the federal government is offering to pick up the tab an

for south carolina, they'll pay less than $5 billion. in the short term, a rising star lie haley may have a reason to repeal that. one way to build a national profile is to win the gop's on-going, no, i'm the most antiobamacare politician contest. but that's not going to last forever, and governors have to answer to nonrepublican voters who don't want to miss out on billings and federal dollars and they have to answer to the hospitals who don't want to pay for the uninsurd patients who end up in the emergency room when the government is offering to pick up the tab, and they have to answer to the patients who have to compensate to pay for the people who the feds are willing to pay for instead. so if mitt romney loses this election and republicans lose their last chance to repeal obamacare, their governors aren't going to hold this line for very long. they can't afford to. and when they finally do decide on the issue, they're going to have an easy argument with which to do it. say it's a way to stick it to the blue states thatobama back in
