charles ogletree is the executive director of the charles hamilton houston institute for race and justicervard university. thank you, both, for being here. one of the reason i wanted the two of you here is you both actually know president obama before he was president obama. you know the person. i want to start with you, professor ogletree, because you were on our air yesterday. you were talking about the fact that the president needed to speak more about what was happening in ferguson and he needed to show sort of his human face on it. do you feel he did that yesterday? >> i think he came close, but i don't think he's made it yet. i have been close to president obama since he was a student at harvard, more than 20 years ago, and his wife michelle obama as well. i think that the president has to show leadership around not just the world, but the country, around the universe. think of what george w. bush did with the beating of rodney king in the early 1990s. he was there. he sent wayne bud out to make sure that police who were bea beating the black men were treated fairly but also prosecu

charles hamilton houston was one of the architects of the naacp's legal strategy to combat jim crow asn officer in the american army during the war. you have many american soldiers who come back from the war who are deeply transformed and take those experiences into various aspects of their lives to affect change, locally as well as nationally. >> you had lieutenants and captured -- and cap to survive the first world war became the generals and field marshals of the second world war. the military realm was affected as well. >> if you can just keep your hands up so rebecca can get to you. >> i just wanted to know from your perspective, we seem to be talking about the 20's as a generation where women get rights. are you think it took longer for african-americans to get that same sort of momentum in terms of civil rights movement? do the thing is, just general opinion, how much of a difference would it have made it united states had joined the league of nations? >> in the case of african-americans, you have a deeply entrenched history and legacy of racism and systemic discrimination which

hamilton was there was another federalist named charles cooper described the party in a letter. i will give you a bad paraphrase of the letter. cooper said you should have heard hamilton talk about burr over dinner. he said burr was a dangerous man who ought not to hold the reins of government. i could detail a still more despicable opinion which general hamilton has expressed of mr. burr, but i won't because letters these days tend to get stolen from the mail and printed in newspapers our political enemies. --by political enemies. the letter is stolen by political enemies and printed -- published in a newspaper. that happened. it is public. burr loses the gubernatorial election. he was humiliated by the loss. fromd been first ousted the vice presidency and now publicly voted not good enough to be governor. he began to feel desperate to prove he was still a deserving political leader, especially to his supporters who were beginning to doubt him. why cling to burr as a leader if he could not offer you patronage or influence? some said it literally. one put it that burr had to figh

hamilton was there as was another federalist charles cooper who described the party in a letter. and i'm going to give you a bad paraphrase here. cooper said you should have heard hamilton talk about burr over dinner. he said he was a dangerous man who ought not hold the reigns of the government and i could detail a still more despicable opinion. cooper continued but i won't. because letters tend to get stolen from the mail and printed in newspapers by political enemies and of course what hops to cooper's letter? it's stolen by an enemy and published in a newspaper. so that happens. it is public. burr loses the goober na norrial election. he was now publicly voted not good enough to be governor. he began to be desperate enough to prove he was still a good political leader. why cling to burr as a leader if he couldn't offer you anything. no patronage, no influence. some supporters said this quite literally. as one put it he had to fight back. if he tamely sat down in silence what was the feeling of his friends? they must have considered him a man not possessing sufficient firmness

is why at the time of the framing everybody who actually studied the issue -- madison, hamilton, randolph and charles lee agreed that it hept what it said -- there no, i don't think so. essentially, thomas jefferson says it could mean one thing or the other. and the other thing that he said which is happens to exist is sort of exactly this old definition which is happens means chance to be. >> and then jefferson in his other letters conceded that the recess appointments clause, as it stood, was going to frustrate his ability to make appointments and he, therefore -- >> i think happens continues to mean chances to be. we still use it that way. but we only use it that way when it is followed by an infinitive. i happened to see him. it means a chance that i saw him. or, you know, 9/11, the destruction of the twin towers happened to occur on 9/11. but you wouldn't say, you wouldn't say it happened on 9/13 simply because it continued to be destroyed. i don't know what the o to ed examples -- oed examples that justice cay can began -- kagan referred to were, but i bet they used happened followed by an infi
