chamberlin felt they could be trusted to bear any blow but this. it takes little to rouse them to revenge. right before them was the city, and eas inviting form of vengeance. he did not have to worry. he was dealing with professionals. the way they mourned lincoln was very telling. spontaneously they draped tents and finds in black. they honored him the same way they had honored other comrades. the were mourning lincoln, so much as a president, but as another veteran or fallen in the civil war. as they waited for the priest to give the memorial address, they stack their arms and planted the fifth corps symbol on the mound in honor of lincoln. this was replicated in other regiments, in other parts of virginia. the regimental color draped the flags and mourning. where the african american troops? robert pins regiment, when one of their offices got the word, two days after lincoln dying on the 15th, he heard a rumor of an assassination. five days later it was confirmed. he talked about the

captured so beautifully i chamberlin. here was the president, his cabinet, ambassadors, judges, offices of the nation and states, but we missed the deep sad eyes of lincoln coming to u.s.. something is lacking to our hearts now at the supreme hour. they were coming home. 600,000 plus northern and southern soldiers would not come home. abraham lincoln would come home to springfield, illinois, but in a casket. soldiers had come back home before -- all of the american wars up until the time, never so many had debilitating injuries. there's also something else. these men have a donnelly left their homes green. they wanted to see the elephant. they saw the elephant. they came home as professional soldiers, who had witnessed sites of quantity they could have never imagined. william broil, that vietnam veteran and screenwriter rights, you can come home broken, or not come back at all. if you come back whole -- the kaleidoscope of combat, to tell the pain and suffering that is injured on the battlefield, i cannot tell. it is beyo

we really need a churchill, and i'm afraid we've got a chamberlin. lou: well in the middle east, a group claiming loyalty to the islamic state beheaded 21 egyptian coptic christians as you know in libya as you know, you met with the archbishop of mosul. you know very well what is happening to even the artifacts of christianity in the region as well as those, those who are the christians themselves and the way they're being treated. 300 estimated captors of the islamic state. among those who have been murdered? >> it's horrible and i think that whether it's isis as you call it now, or al qaeda it's brutal, and i think we are looking at isis trying to expand the caliphate the way the caliphate was expanded in mohammed's time and just after his death, and radically expanded into a powerful state, whereas iran, the reason i think it is more of a problem is that iran is a very short step away from having a nuclear weapon to go along with its medium to long range ballistic missiles. that puts us at risk, although we have good friends, israel and others in

was eventually brought home was a here he -- zero at airey but the story was not as dramatic as chamberlin's charge down the hill. >> we have the celebration in 1995 of the history. the bicentennial history. one of the goals was to reverend a heroes -- remember the heroes of the community. visit -- vincent was a hero forgot. after the high school named after him, there was no memorial around the history so we decided to build one. vincent had a wonderful career ahead of him. he was a natural leader, a wealthy man, a lawyer by profession. he wanted to become a major leader in the community. he could have easily avoided serving, but free time he goes back. that is the kind of patriotism, the kind of commitment to country, the kind of commitment to a cause that every country needs to he was an exemplar when when people believed it was more important than private interest. heroes in history are critical to point the way to others. so if we are not willing to give on behalf of the common good, we soon have no common good. >> we would like to stay on schedule for c-span3 friends. >> welcome back t

forget the chamberlin piece of paper. they weren't there. what netanyahu wanted to do is ensure that at least i'm there, my voice is present. the united states is doing this thing with iran without consulting israel. when nancy pelosi said she was moved to tears, originally i thought it was positive she was crying because she thought it was a horrible speech. we should shed tears for the victims of isis having heads chopped off. the 240 kids killed by boko haram. to cry during a speech, that doesn't seem to rise to the level of real cause for tears. >> there is a curious imbalance at work now, in iraq, the city of tikrit. encircled by primarily iranian forces, working with the iraqis, the united states has withdrawn and they are moving with their initiative against tikrit to the islamic state, your thoughts. >> think about it, the united states is the global presence that brings about order, and we are kind of tired of being global, i understand that. there is something in the middle, you can't withdraw and lead a vacuum, we see the rise of

regrettably, president obama is the nevil chamberlin of our day, in denial of the enormous vulnerability we have to the nuclear capabilities of iran. in light of that, is netanyahu's invite more about president obama than israel? >> nom., ma'am. i think it's important that the prime minister come. i was with him two weeks ago to encourage his speech to make sure he does come. he understands the threats. iran has been a sponsor of terrorism for over 30 years. we see their footprint throughout the middle east and syria and iraq and yemen and in lebanon. we see them in argentina, venezuela, cuba. he understands -- >> surely, sir, president obama realizes that, or doesn't he? >> the president has chosen the path of least resistance. he is appeased. he's apologized to our adversaries adversaries. the world does not understand his leadership. i've been in the middle east on a number of occasions but they don't understand the direction or lack of direction of our president. what i think the prime minister offers to us is a clear understanding of the foreboding evils and threat of iran with the

i saw wilt chamberlin for the first time. i quit right there. i said, coach, the guy isn't real.tant coach. the first african-american coach was bill russell who became the team's player coach in 1966. in 1971, earl lloyd became the first non-playing african-american coach in the nba with the detroit pistons. detroit's biggest star of that era, hall-of-famer dave bing who was later elected mayor of detroit said this about coach lloyd. >> he taught a lot of us how to play the game. but more importantly, he taught us how to be good citizens, how to be good ambassadors for this game of basketball. >> in 2007, earl lloyd told the "washington post", that he was surprised that he was drafted, because having grown up across the river, he thought of the washington area as a cradle of segregation. he wasn't hate with the glare that jackie robinson had to deal with. he once told the "detroit free press", there was no publicity on it. remember, at the time, the nba was this little ho-hum league. some high schools drew more fans. earl lloyd's second road game was in ft. wayne, indiana where
