so society of cincinnati's collections documenting revolutionary war and its legacy are of the broad scope of my talk today. we did begin acquiring in 1783, which is the the society was founded. so we are just a month shy of our 239th birthday, despite that long history. i'll particularly focus today on our robert charles lawrenceburg aside collection on the art of war in the age of the american revolution, which was created in 1988, and it now holds many of our most important collections and draws scholars for both its breadth and specificity. so forgive me, i can't ignore sort of the primer on what the society is and talk a little bit about our early collecting as a foundation for where we go with the ferguson collection the society of the cincinnati is america's oldest veterans organization and among the oldest historical organizations in the nation. founded in may 1783 by continental army officers camped along the hudson river near newburgh, new york. as the revolutionary war was coming to a the army was starting disband and uncertainty for. the future of the soldiers lives as we

but despite the success at cincinnati state, accelerate wound down in 2018 after the three year study> we had to stop the program. we didn't have the funds in the institution to continue it. >> community colleges are doing a lot, but they're typically underfunded. the challenge is to implement what we know has been effective. >> the cost has not fully stop cincinnati state. the college restarted the program in the fall of 2021 after raising money from donors. >> that return on investment will look like economic growth. as we know as students graduate, that increases employability and changes the trajectory of their lives. >> that upward trajectory is in the data as well. last month, a new study showed that those who took part in the original ohio demonstration were earning 11 percent more compared to those in the control group. it's a finding that cuny's christine brongniart says adds to the evidence that this model works, and should be rolled out beyond the seven states where versions are up and running. >> we're working now to work more with state systems at scale versus working mor

clark, massachusetts library fellowship from the massachusetts society of the cincinnati. to continue her research for her new book and our research library here at anderson house, a place where she is certainly no stranger to. in fact, there has been an ongoing joke between us about whether i would refer to her as a squatter in our library tonight while introducing her, as there is rarely a time where i don't go down there and see her working on something. so yeah, i told you i was going to fit in there. so sorry about that. but before i turn things over to iris. oh, dr. torode, excuse me. i would be remiss if i didn't cover the normal housekeeping items for our virtual attendees joining us on zoom this evening, following tonight's lecture, that will be a question and answer session. so please feel free to submit your questions for dr. torode at any point during the program using the q&a function that can be found at the bottom of your screen. we will do our best to incorporate them with our live audience questions following the talk, should you have any technical related

i'm the historical programs manager for the american revolution institute of the society of the cincinnati. the american revolution institute promotes knowledge and appreciation for the achievement of american independence, fulfilling the aim of the continental army officers who founded the society of the cincinnati in 1783 to perpetuate the memory of that vast event. in addition to this evening's program, the institute fulfills this mission by supporting advanced study exhibitions and other historical programs and tours, advocating historic preservation and providing resource ideas to classrooms nationwide that benefit teachers, students and scholars alike. since since 1938, the society of the cincinnati has done all of this work from right here at its headquarters, anderson house, a national historic landmark that was completed in 1905 as the winter residence of lars and isabel anderson. tonight's authors talk a program made possible in part by a generous gift from the massachusetts arts society to the cincinnati features. professor andrew wehrman discussing his recently published book,

and keep in mind, jerry springer was mayor of cincinnati., the mayor found himself on the receiving end of a message from chiefs all-pro travis kelce. >> hey, i got some wise words for that cincinnati mayor. know your role and shut yo mouth! you got to fight for your right to party! >> jimmy: first time i ever heard anyone quote the beastie boys and the iron sheik in one sentence. this is interesting, travis kelce will be playing against his brother in the super bowl. his older brother, jason, plays center for the eagles. it's the first time two brothers have ever competed in the super bowl against each other, which that has got to be tough for their parents. no matter who wins, they've gotta take them both to disneyland, right? i would just tell them whoever wins is the son we love more. and that's that. that's how trump does it. you know. donald trump was back on the campaign trail this weekend. yelvis was in new hampshire and south carolina. and you know, we make a lot of fun of donald trump because he's a fool. but one thing you can say

your show, from small beginnings in cincinnati more than 20 years ago, has made you famous around theorld, and it is still going across america and internationally. how come? probably because it has a niche. when it first came on, we had never, at least in the states, i can only speak about what goes on in the states, we had never seen people that are on my show on television before. american television was primarily upper—middle—class white. all the sitcoms, whether it was friends or seinfeld or whatever, always well—scrubbed people speaking the queen's english and all of that. and all of a sudden, in 1991, we come on with a show with people that don't speak the queen's english, that maybe weren't so lucky in the gene pool of parents or whatever, didn't get an education, as much of an education. and yet what they are concerned about is the same thing that wealthy people are concerned about, except wealthy people learn to hide it better. you know, i don't find any difference between the people on my show, and i would even say, let's say the people that ultimately come on your show, ex

. >> the accelerate program here at cincinnati state is not a new idea. it was modeled on a program from new york city that showed so much progress that we told you about it seven years ago. only 17% of cuny full-time college students get a degree in four years. her asap students, the rate is 57 persons. -- vicki 7%. since we visited in 2016 -- the rate is 57%. since we visited in 2016, and has only grown. as asap has expanded, those who are in the program graduate within three years at more than double the rate of those who are not. >> there's millions of community college students and about 1000 community colleges in the country, so this program could be a game changer for students around the country. >> alex is the director of post secondary education at a nonprofit research organization that has performed randomized controlled studies on the asap model to test its effectiveness. >> this approach really gives very high confidence that the program is working. we police findings after eight years, and the students are continuing to graduate at higher rat

and so they considered staying in cincinnati. they thought about indianapolis. they thought about chicago and decided the prospects for best in indianapolis. caroline harrison, his wife, as she joined him. and they had two young children, had really just started to find some measure of success at the outbreak of the civil war. and so for harrison, he had a really difficult decision to make as rising lawyer and a supreme court reporter, whether he would hire a substitute or whether he just would wait and see what happened. but he was called in to governor morton, the oliver morton, the famous indiana war governor office, and was talking about lincoln's call for 300,000 new troops and harrison heard this full story from governor morton and thought about it and said, well, if i'm needed, i will go. and morton said, no, i'm not. i'm not asking you to serve. i just need help raising additional troops. and harrison made it clear that if he were to ask others to to serve, that he himself would serve. and so harrison went on to lead the 17th indiana and had started off

was born in cincinnati. my dad hopped around working for proctor and gamble. we came out to california. california -- i know it sounds like a cliche -- it was like a dream. it was this golden place. there were palm trees, i had never seen a palm tree. ronald reagan was governor. i knew growing up with a certainty to the core of my soul, i could do and be whatever i wanted to be. so far, i have had a chance to do that, but not everybody does. i hire young lawyers, they work for me at my law firm. they will have $200,000 in debt. they start life with bills around her neck. that is not what it is supposed to be. i think we can come back. what made america great is not completely dead. i think there is a beating heart there, i think we can do it but it is not for sure and it is going to be hard work. what happened between your childhood, ronald reagan's governorship and today in your view? >> what i talk about in the fall and rise of america, i was there at the pinnacle of american power, both in time and place. the time and place was a place called hopper up a te

massachusetts society of the cincinnati features dr. jordan taylor discussing his new book, misinformation and nation for news and the politics of truth in revolutionary america, published last month by johns hopkins university press fake news is nothing new, just like millions of americans today, the revolutionaries of the 18th century worried that they were entering a post-truth era. their fears, however, were not fixated on social media or clickbait, but rather on people's increasing reliance on reading news gathered from foreign newspapers. news was the lifeblood of early american politics, but newspaper printers had few reliable sources to on events from abroad, accounts of battles and beheadings, as well as declarations and constant motions often arrived alongside contradictory intelligence, though frequently false the information that americans encountered in newspapers, letters and conversations, oceans framed their sense of reality, leading them to respond with protest boycotts and violence. tonight, dr. taylor will reveal how

kenneth blackwell wrote that and he's the former mayor of cincinnati and joins me now.hy should black americans reject reparations? >> first, it is patently silly and socially unjust for the same left leaning forces that claim a school child can make up his or her mind that they are something other than what they were born sexually or gender wise and now saying every black person in america deserves a million dollars or more. can you panel, stuart, how many people will claim that they're black? if in fact you can determine you were born male but you claim to be female, what will stop a lot of folks in what is the most diverse country on the face of the earth claiming they have a right to that money? it is economically destructive but more importantly it is essentially divisive and must be stopped in its tracks but i'm going to make sure the good governor of california carries that weight around his waist as he jumps into the deep pool of politics. he is going to drown. stuart: it's a very visual image i have there, your honor. the university of minnesota has a summer re

in cincinnati, people are really involved in their community. here in washington or wherever you're from, that is a good thing about america, but there is a creeping loneliness. that's where i agree with what the paper talked about. it was already there pre-covid. but it exacerbated it. it made people feel more lonely. there was a stat over the weekend i read about 30% of young women, girls who are in high school have contemplated suicide. 30%. and my daughter sally is here somewhere. she's no longer in high school but i think about that. this is a whole generation that feels the loneliness and a sense of despair. we talk about the depth of despair, the increased suicide, overdoses, many of which are caused by people medicating. amy and i work a lot in the area for opioids, it has shifted, these horrible pills people don't mean to take. there is this trend in our country that is disturbing. to that degree, i found it helpful to read that. what is the solution? the ability to connect with your family, friends and neighbors, you remember the book,

note the university of cincinnati they were doing a study on epilepsy.re may be some indications for marijuana in various forms. i do not like what is going on where it is being used in the state medical marijuana. as a doctor i need to know the indications for medication. i need to know the contraindications. i need to have the doses. i think we've gone in the wrong direction on that. there very well may be good medicinal uses. sometimes this illicit is scheduled it's difficult to do trails on it. but there are ways to do it because know in my home of cincinnati these types of trials are taking place. so there is little bit of semantics but it always went to see a drug has an absolute medical use. that is the idea of schedule one. i don't have a medical use. illicit and still does not a schedule use illegal fentanyl does. but you think it will ultimately end up on his desk for his signature to make it law yes or no? >> it not a bipartisan support we got in the house and should get to the senate and the president has indicated he would sign it. >> oh it'

, i have the west side of cincinnati, we're seeing when you get a weak judge that won't enforce the lawause of this. liz: how is it social justice, how us it helping civil rights when a minority family has a member murdered because a repeat felon was let out by a george soros-backed prosecutor? >> yeah the real question why would they be for this kind of discord? when are we going to change course in these urban areas in particular, or with these elected d.a.s? i think the good thing it gives the governor an opportunity to appoint somebody who will actually enforce the law. liz: here is the other story, we're calling it, "evening edit" calling it retail deserts. retail deserts are fleeing. 20 in nancy pelosi's district in san francisco. big names like whole foods, gap, marshals, h&m, nordstrom, sachs. they're leaving. stories like nancy pelosi is ramping up her use of private jets flying around on private airplanes. her campaign spent tens of thousands of dollars on that. climate czar john kerry also, he is realizing, finding out he is using right planes way more than people realize, fl
