we have been talking about the civil war, and before the midterms we covered the civil war. everyone knows about the civil war, it has kind of a triumphant end, at least if you're not a neo-confederate. the union winds, slavery is destroyed. reconstruction, on the other hand, does not have a happy ending. it is a great experiment in interracial democracy after the war, it is overthrown. maybe we all like happy endings and that's why we don't know much about reconstruction. but it is a crucial period in american history. extremely crucial because many of the modern ideas about citizenship, what constitutes democracy, about equality, all comes from reconstruction. in a way, it is like the second founding of the american republic. you have three constitutional amendments. you don't have that since the bill of rights. that is when the constitution was adopted, the founding moment of the american republic. it is a crucial period which americans should be more aware of. what are the issues of reconstruction that really are still pertinent today? here is an image from "harpers week

he was a social and civil ak vis. why do so many people n? kn >> i think this was a while ago in history and because since then until now the way we hear things, things happen so quickly. back then it took a while. but if you nmeice a t between him and madam c.j. walker, took whathey didut then built on it in so many different ways. he had low-incomehousing. he did community development. he started businesses. he handled everything did in cash my parents were immigrants and i remember my mother came and developed tuberculosis, and she couldn't find a place to live except in one of fathe devine's houses. >>e' be seeing -- is it father's kingdom? >> yes. >> i'll b there and i can't wait. thank you so much. thank u for being withus. to see any "news 4 your sunday" program log on to nbcwashington.com. this is customizable streaming tv for your family... whatever size. it's saving money with flexible channel packs. live tv and the latest shows to stream. and all your streaming apps in one place -- even netflix. this is how xfinity makes life... si

his recent books include "the untold civil war," "after the civil war," and "civil war echoes and voices from virginia." he is currently working on an encyclopedic dictionary of robert e. lee. i am humbled this man even knows my name. i am proud he is here today. i would like to introduce to you dr. bud robertson. [applause] robinson -- dr. budd robertson. [applause] dr. robertson: thank you, keven. good morning, everyone. for the first time in my 60 year career, i must say, i take no pleasure in the talk i am about to give. it is time the other side be monument.his as the keynote speaker for your conference, plus the fact i am the eldest member of the cast by a number of years, i will drift far field to discuss the national issues of which civil war monuments are taught and to the factors that lay behind the insanity in which we live in many sections. respect,and, and i those whose friendship i may damage here. that being said, once we fought a civil war, that four-year bloodbath was the most vital moment in our evolution as a nation. slavery was the underlying issue behind the war. not

war and that civil civil rights live side-by-side here. we can't change that, we have to learn from the history. it is part of american history and the think it is important that we embrace our history, even the painful parts and tell our own story because it we who are from selma do not tell the history, others will and they may not get it right. they may not see it through the lens of people who grew up in her and understand the complicated nature of its history. we can't change that history, but i think it is important that we learn from it. you can watch this and other programs on the history of communities across the country at c-span.org. this is american history tv only on c-span3. the lincoln memorial was dedicated on may 30, 1922. more than 50,000 people crowded the grounds for the dedication, including elected officials. seen here in the audience are some of the many civil war veterans from the north and south who attended the ceremony. among the dignitaries were u.s. supreme court chief justice and former president william howar

that's a basic civil rights -- civil right that many gay people demanded. they said we should not be stigmatized for who we are. on the basis of the 14th amendment, marriage equality was proclaimed. that is in a way what former slaves were contending for, basic civil rights, basic security as citizens in the country. and, most importantly for foner, political rights. they're looking for economic independence, etc. we will talk about the conversation over land and labor and reconstruction in the south. but black people are politicized. whether it is the politicalization of everyday life. the idea that black people should move out of the sidewalk when a white person walks by. this would lead to fights, violent empowering, that was something that racial etiquette no longer try. they had to demand access to schools. they had to demand access to the ballot box. they demanded access to accommodations. things that have been deprived of. definee is trying to what bites black people have now. what freedoms do they have. this is the point of conversation. even though

i think maybe the civility thing, i don't like civility. [laughter] it's a debate. it's fake. civility's fake. greg: that is true. >> no one wants to be nice. they ask you a question at a debate, and they're like first i'd like to pause and thank everyone for being here. shut up and answer the question. i want to be a little more rude. shut up, tom! greg: all right. kat, i have a theory, and i'm not -- it's like does social media contribute to hostilities, or is it a release valve so the hostilities are less likely to be on the street and more likely in the broadband where nobody really gets hurt? is that correct? or are you just, like, staring at me blankly waiting for me to shut up? >> i mean, i think that people can get hurt on social media. i think that sometimes people can be really, really mean and really, really nasty. and whenever you look at their bios, it's always like loving grandfather. [laughter] you're like, whoa, why are you like this? where does it come from? is it better that he's not yelling at his grandkids, i guess probably. greg: yes. >> i want everyone to

in the decades of reconstruction and civil rights struggles that followed. monuments are and always have been an important part of that commemoration and an important part of interpreting history and understanding the past. they provideds, focal points, tangible icons that help visitors understand that they are on hallowed ground , where americans of all sides struggled to deal with the wrenching issues that divided our nation and forged the country that we are in today. monuments tab for thousands of years expressed -- monuments have for thousands of years called to us to reflect. understanding, to draw meaning from the past for our own time, the shenandoah valley battlefields foundation considers monuments to be historic in their own right. to be important features on historic rural and urban landscapes and to be worthy of protection. accordingly, the shenandoah valley battlefields foundation makes the following statements of policy. we are opposed to the eradication or removal of plaques, statues, monuments, place names and other public honors associated

in civil society. that is a huge challenge we have. we have to come up with better ways of rebranding, reclaiming and reselling and repelling the story of natural law and natural rights, the beautiful thing. you call it the miracle. absolutely. and i promise to read your book. [laughter] mr. ryan: that is not what insecure conservatives alt-right national pop you lift blood and soil people not what they think. only people like me can grasp these concepts can agree with me. and you have these industries going through transformation and telling people what they want to hear and this is the challenge. jonah: it does make sense. someone wrote a book about that. and one of the things i impress upon people, one of the most radical things in the constitution doesn't get taught which is getting rid of titles and know built. and royalty and all of that kind . thing were 10,000 years it says simply by accident of birth, some people are more deserving or more special than other people. and what america did said n

essentially, like many of you, i read about the civil war. i have been a teacher and a historian and have been in this field for a long time, and -- semi historian and has been in this field for a long time, and i read this book that made the case that lee was this great healer who tried to bring the sides together, and i thought that was interesting, and as i read more about lee, i realized that was not quite true, that not only was he tried for treason after the war and not quite this unifying figure, but in fact, lee himself was quite defiant after the civil war. there is a famous interview, which i include in the book, by the way -- i transcribed it myself -- there's an interview in 1865 when lee is interviewed, and lee says, "you know, if you guys go forward with treason trials and punishments, then the south might just continue fighting, and this war might not be over after all." on one level, his decision to apply for a pardon -- i actually make this point in my book -- was actually a very noble act, and it encouraged a lot of other so

he was civil. that's why he named it the 'civil rights.'" what you forget is back when martin was marching, people were complaining about him the same way these people are complaining about protesters right now. >> trevor: wow, racists back then were so eloquent. ( laughter ) "a coterie, a coterie." and i like that he says martin luther king created racial tension where none existed, like dr. king went into the south and was like, "y'all are black." "what?!" ( laughter ) ( cheering and applause ) and i know... i know that those leaders may have been racist, but even some people who said they agreed with what dr. king stood for still didn't approve of how he did it. in fact, at one point, he had an 63% disapproval rating in the u.s. so, look, all i'm saying is, what happened to sarah huckabee sanders isn't nice, but as a government official, people protesting your policies is part of the job. and the good news is, sarah, there's a ton of other chicken places you can go and eat. yeah. and if you're struggling to find one, just ask your boss. w

what was happening parallel to society and the civil rights movement? we are at this movement this -- we are at this movement this moment where ordinary people feel optimistic, they feel angry , and they are willing to put their life on the line to advance the black economic condition, the black social condition. we are also at a moment in the 1950's where black purchasing power is at unprecedented rates, and increasingly retailers and advertisers are paying attention to african-american consumers with the understanding that this is a community where they can make millions. >> in terms of discrimination, did sears welcome or discriminate against african-american employees? >> against african-american employees, african-american women, for example, were typically hired in menial labor. these are women who had high school diplomas, college degrees , who had vocational training, and compared to their white counterparts they are being hired in what we call dirty jobs. they are discriminated against and not allowed to hold jobs in sales, clerical work, or as

the party for slavery destroyed civil liberties. you couldn't go beneath the mason-dixon line and speak in favor of abolition. could not be done. and in fact, if you sent -- if you sent the liberator or abolitionist through the mail, you could be prosecuted and wouldn't allow it. abolitionists were very different. abolitionists said we will allow the proponents of slavery to speech. we'll allow that. and they were proud of the difference they drew between themselves. and their adversaries. in the 20th century, if one goes and takes a look at the -- what did people say about civil liberties with respect to the activists and the second reconstruction, over and over and over again, my former boss, no stronger proponent of civil liberties and including civil liberties of people who he abhorred in thurgood marshall and on this as on so many fronts, i would link arms with him. is there a legally defined threshold that characterizes as what counts as protected free speech versus incitement. that is why we have lawyers and courts for. it's

in civil society. that is a huge challenge we have. all the more reason we are going to have to come up with better ways of rebranding, reclaiming and reselling and retelling the story of natural law and natural rights, the beautiful thing that we had. you called it the miracle. absolutely. and i promise to read your book. [laughter] rep. ryan: the important thing is -- mr. goldberg: the poor thing is that you buy it. -- important thing is that you buy it. rep. ryan: already done. we have got to go back and collect this ground. i believe that we can. we have insecure conservatives who are insecure about beliefs that they think only people like them can have the capacity to believe in this thing. what i learned from jack cap in my early 20's, you can proselytize or internet desk for enterprise and you can do more all over the -- that is something we cannot wait to share these ideas, especially with people that have not been acquainted them. that is not what insecure conservatives, alt-right national pop

in the decades of reconstruction and civil rights struggles that followed. monuments are and always have been an important part of that commemoration and an important part of interpreting history and understanding the past. they provideds, focal points, tangible icons that help visitors understand that they are on hallowed ground , where americans of all sides struggled to deal with the wrenching issues that divided our nation and forged the country that we are in today. monuments tab for thousands of years expressed -- monuments have for thousands of years called to us to reflect. understanding, to draw meaning from the past for our own time, the shenandoah valley battlefields foundation considers monuments to be historic in their own right. to be important features on historic rural and urban landscapes and to be worthy of protection. accordingly, the shenandoah valley battlefields foundation makes the following statements of policy. we are opposed to the eradication or removal of plaques, statues, monuments, place names and other public honors associated

she is also the author of remembering the civil war. selected fromeen the history book club and military book club and has won the charles s snyder award that was given to her by the southern historical association. monographs,to her she is -- she is co-edited with gary gallagher the book on cold harbor. she has been the author of essays on the civil war and its aftermath and has appeared on the john journal of southern history. public speaker and has given many presentations and we are very much pleased to have her with us today. please welcome caroline jenny. [applause] good morning. it is great to be back home. thank you for the wonderful introduction. in front ofo stay the microphone. i have a bad habit of wandering of bits i will catch myself hopefully and get back here. of thepick up on a lot things that dr. robertson talked about but we will go back to 1865 to try to understand in some ways how we got to where we are today. mid-90's,east the there have been calls to remove the confederate flag, monuments, or change names of build

say at the will american civil war museum, we ask, which confederate flag? we wanted people to understand the symbols that had become withivocally aligned racism and white supremacy actually was one of many. it is deliberately chosen for reasons we will discuss later. initially, which flag are you talking about? there are home guard flags. there is three different national flags. after a while, it became a copout. we had a responsibility to talk about what we knew the community was asking. they were not asking about a particular battle, they were asking about this one, what most referred to as the army of tennessee, the tennessee flag, the rectangular one. this is the one associated with the ku klux klan and other groups. it is that flag of nathan bedford forrest, that would become known as the symbol of oppression, especially be modern civil rights era. whether you like it or not, the reality is they were no loud cries from sub and saying do not .surp our images do not take them from the battles. there are people living in america right now, like many of th

also, civil rights records has been very useful. league.p, the urban i was talking to a former african-american shoppers, department store workers. it has all been very useful. steve: the book is not out. what questions remain? traci: right now, i am just about done with the book. it comes out next year. i am increasingly interested in what is going on now with lack workers and consumers in departments doors. the outcome of this year's case was not a desired outcome. -- department stores. caseutcome of the sears was not a desired outcome. workers in department stores are largely women. they are people of color. there have been relegated to jobs that are cashier like. they are denied jobs in supervisory and managerial positions. that is my next avenue of research. steve: are there any parallels to where we are today? traci: i think there are some parallels. departments doors were the center -- department stores were the center of american consumption. amazon is doing similar work. people are no longer going into brick-and-mortar stor

so it was the idea that there were natural liberties and that the purpose of civilization in the civil society is to protect the individual's rights. this is a new idea that comes along and says that is not the purpose of society. the purpose of the society is to enrich and allow people to live authentic natural lives. >> he described himself where he is on his way to visit his friend who is in jail and sometimes the translations are different but it's like the advertisement for an essay competition have they improved morals in the state of man -- manner. it is like finding an essay competition saying does diversity make us stronger. of course you are supposed to come up with a clever way of saying yes. hkenya looks at this and has basically a solemn road to damascus moment. he passes out and wakes up drenched in his own tears it occurs to him all of a sudden. it's very much inspired by his upbringing in christianity. he's got a sort of classic religious tale that was started in the golden age. and the society has corrupted us and science corrupts us in peace at the first person to put

rights activist or inspired by american civil rights activists. their actual work on ethnicity, for example in terms of grappling with questions of guestworkers from turkey and greece in germany. is a little uneven, they were very much inspired by non- germans in germany who were active. but i think what is notable -- notable and the same way of thinking about intersection nullity is the exciting piece of the idea that these questions of sex ed that i was mentioning before and the lowering of the rates for public transit were very much seen as a piece of a much larger question about the deposing of mumbai in congo and the brutal oppression of the shaw in iran. and park in south korea, the cia actions in latin america and so one. these were very much seen as connected issues already from the early 60s. i think that actually intensified in really productive ways in the 1970s, including specifically around issues of sexism. >> in the case of mexico, it is very much interesting, starting a new way -- new wave of research connected to different kind of

especially outside of the traditional civil rights circles. sclc hasn't really reached out to chicanos, american indians, or anyone beyond the traditional civil rights white liberal kind of constituency. so this is a new thing for them. the minority group conference, which he announces in early march, is where he invites 80 some activists from across the country, all across the spectrum of the left, to come to atlanta for a conference on march 14th, 1968, for him to pitch with the -- pitch to them what the poor people's campaign was all about and why they should be involved. it really is a remarkable moment that has been almost completely forgotten in the history books. we never talk about this when we talk about dr. king usually, but i think it is one of the most important moments in the last years of his life and certainly one of the most important achievements in the sense of the poor people's campaign, just getting all these folks in the same room together to talk about what they have in common and their differences as well. some of the mo

in ballot boxes well before the civil war. if you think about reconstruction, the parties would print ballots. so you would have republican ballots, you would have democratic ballots, and you simply put your ballot in the box. the voting you are talking about really disappears pretty much after the early revolution. audience member: i don't think so. >> except in kentucky. they remained in kentucky until 1891. and i think it continued after that in virginia. audience member: i think it did. >> you could take areas of the city, depending upon the laboring people and you could start telling which way they voted. and they usually voted as a block. mark: a gets trickier than that. even in virginia, you've got paper ballots. technically, that means the ballot can be secret. it is folded up. you can't tell who's ballot you have got. but the ballots are not printed by the government, they are printed by the parties. and if you keep republicans from passing out the ballot, nobody's going to be able to vote. you go after the organizers

i'm still then, more civil war history from our ceased and then, tour -- more civil war history from our c-span cities tour. national civile war naval museum in columbus, georgia. right here on the banks of the chattahoochee river. the purpose of the naval museum is to tell the stories of the navies during the civil war. we are the only facility that focuses entirely on that. particular story. place.in a unique right here is the remains of a the cssate ironclad, jackson. this is an ironclad that was built here in columbus during the war. specifically, we are about the midship of the vessel, and this section was missing. section was missing. fell apart during the recovery process, and this is to take a t and what areaslt are used for different purposes. an ironclad is a wooden ship. you still have to build the structure of wood. but on the outside of it, above the water water line is the plating. this provides the ironclad to the vessel. if you want to think about it like this, it is like putting a man inside a suit of armor. most of the ironclads are used in coastal waters and rivers

it would be a disasterous attack on basic human and civil rights. we'll get into that in a moment, but first president trump's contentious european trip ends tomorrow in finland where the eyes of the world will be on his first stand alone meeting with russian president putin. joining me now is democratic strategist and republican strategist susan. let me go to you. the president went to england, faced massive protests even protests in his stop over to play golf and now leaving there shortly headed into the meeting in finland. with all that has to be discussed you have got clearly ukraine and syria and many concerns about strategic arms agreements. what is overshadowing that is that friday 12 russian intelligence officers were indicted for meddling in the 2016 elections. no one really that i have heard, experts that i'm speaking of believe they could have operated without the knowledge if not direction of putin. many have said, including me, that the president should not have just that the time. >> yeah. no. i 100% agree. one of the things i think is

. >> that western civilization as we understand it, or contrary american western democratic civilization is unnatural. what do you, what do you mean by that? >> well, so, first of all, great to see you, john. >> just following the brian lamb model acting as though we never met each other and have no preliminaries even though we're old friends and do a podcast together and constantly exchange insults on twitter, all that. >> life in prison. >> i did want to hue to the c pan model. >> i appreciate that. right, part of what i'm trying to do in the book, get people, not so much, sort of say i have all the right facts, i have the perfect version of what happened in human history and all that, i'm not claiming that. i'm doing something a little different. i'm asking people to just sort of tilt their head a little bit, maybe take a step back and look at the world around them with fresh eyes, alien from another planet eyes. a big part of my argument simply just to say, that human nature is a thing, right? it is a constant. one of my favorite definition of conservatism human nature has no history

shame on the rest of the civil liberties union 17. [applause] if these were made against hillary clinton about her e-mails she obstructed justice. every civil libertarian would say you cannot expand the statutes. one test in my life called the shoe on the other foot test asked yourself if the shoe was on the other foot where would you be? i honestly believe that almost everybody who was arguing for the impeachment of president trump would be arguing against the impeachment of hillary clinton based on exactly the same path and the same information. that is handling that is true. [applause] >> that is that a stretching? >> and want to get to something first. i want to apply the same standards when you asked me. maybe it isn't a stretch but several libertarians thought the same facts were stretching at the clinton and they should be arguing the other way even if they are wrong aclu is often wrong but it used to defend civil liberties and used to argue that you don't stretch obstruction in the aclu is not on trial soon i guess it is that

because the civil rights act of 1964 was too little, too late. and if this had been an honorable country, it's what we would have done in 1945. >> okay. well, in the case of mexico, i think it is very important that in 1968 or the post-1968 student massacre and the state crime that was committed in mexico, developed something i mentioned before, the cultural human rights in mexico, the violation of human rights. so i would say that's one of the most important aspects of these fights through nonviolent strategies and traactics. what i mentioned before, the modernism in america, it happened in other regions of central america, but you have this happening in nicaragua. so i do believe the post-1968 ways to respond to state crimes, state offenses, were very much connected to the building of this nonviolent culture based on human rights and connected pretty much with and forced the disappearances in latin america. and things much more radical were connected to those settled in different regions, specifically in the case of mexico in the 1970s. so i gu

civil rights with proper walk up to the. that's sort of the. gold. donald trump will soon visit europe has a very busy agenda and it's unclear what kind of reception people get topping his i ten or where he will be trade relations nato and russia never before has an american president been expected with so much apprehension. for pleasure a do loop is when the interest on the debt is greater then your taxes taxable base then you have to throw down all pretenses of quantitative easing and just admit you want monetizing debt such a bank is just printing and buying back its own debt to do a little less then you get into what's called a banana republic named after countries that want america that typically are in the but out of business will end up doing this monetization of their own dead and collapse or currencies venezuela argentina come to mind this is down going to be contagious and going into america. as we mentioned this week here in the united states we celebrate our independence day on july fourth but the first week of july also celebrates anothe

and civil society. that is a huge challenge we have. were going have to come up with rebranding,of reclaiming, and reselling and retelling the story of natural law and natural rights, this beautiful thing we had. i feel bad. we've got to go back and reclaim this ground. and i believe we can. insecure's -- insecure conservatives who think -- what i learned in my early 20's for enterprise, especially areas where they never acquainted it, and you get new conference all the time. they think only people like me can possibly grasp these concepts, or agree with me. and then you have got these industries going through this algorithms,on using pumping stuff back to people, what they want to hear. this is the challenge in front of us. >> it does make sense. someone wrote a book about that. i try to impress upon people is one of the most radical things the founding fathers did in the constitution andgetting rid of titles .obility that is one of the first forms of identity politics. it simply says by accident of bi

no civil case should ever be tried in court. every civil case should be done by alternate dispute resolution. this court should be reserved for seriesous criminal okays. the way depositions work today the lay saul lawsuits work told, destroys our legal system. there's some probably litigators here who are saying, my god, you're taking away our business '. 99% of civil case never get to court. it's foremay without intercourse. it's all depositions, it's all preliminary, all that you never get to the climax, and i think a system can be improved kirby if considerably if the constitution doesn't admit it. i don't kavanaugh was appoint because he are help the president. kavanaugh takes a completely different view than i take on the criteria for impeachment. he says that probably you can impeach for committing a das startly act. chew imagine what -- how many people in the room have committed a das startly act? i mean, what is dag startly -- extras dastardly act mean? if the president was looking for somebody to protect hem he show if

now, the whole civility thing is kind ofbs a pushback by republicans and by democrats.hat's basical chilling the status quo because pelosi and schumer represent the status quo. trump -- for trump to talk about civility, this is auy who literally said, i ought to punch him in the face. so, i mean, you etknow, l's consider the sources, where it is coming from. >> yeah, i saw john legend said -- the singer john legend said, you know what? you can ask meiv about city after you tell me about the more than 2,000 kids taken from their parents at the border from the migrant families. so, you know, he is saying, okay, we can talk about sanders, huckabee-sanders dinner later. i think we're losing touch with what's most important, democracy. for democracto really work, it is messy, but that individual citizens have a right t o not only have free speech but to do something the republicans and a the party knew how to do ery well, which is bird dogging. remember when president obama was trying to get health care passed they went to every single town hall that featured a congressman a

what does a civil gang injunction do? it orders that active gang members refrain from doing certain activity within a safety zone. a safety zone is a geographic area ordered by the court where the injunction operates. it's is not city wide. it is only in the safety zone. active gang members are enjoined from committing crimes, from committing acts of nuisance and from committing gang activity such as associates with known gang members and displaying gang signs and symbols. it is that latter portion that creates controversy. associating and exhibiting signs and symbols would otherwise be lawful conduct. in gang injunction context, i wanted is different -- it is different. just as important as it is to understand what gang injunctions do is understanding what they can't and don't do. first, it is not a order. none of the six gangs are prohibited from the mere presence in the safety zone. that is not how they operate. they are not criminal restraining orders. they are gang injunctions. that is different. second, we do not an

has been a lot of talk recently about civility and who is civil and who is not. remember, justice thurgood marshall had his way of being disruptive his entire life just by being at the supreme court, he was disruptive here people thought he was uncivil. martin luther king in our nation'schoolbooks and histories. we have to remember he made people feel deeply uncomfortable. deeply uncomfortable. when he was speaking truth to power, there were entire segments of america that were out to get him. simple andbout being those rooms and hoping beyond hope that one would listen to one of his sermons beyond the pope -- beyond the pulpit. the kind of america we all deserve. we are all in this together making this happen. >> as we close at the panel we have to elevate our voice to announce policies. we have to vote. if we will change the policies, we have to engage. hopefulto have that vision for the kind of country we know we can be. can have our voice, our vote, and keep that hopeful vision, it will lead to victory. we can win and we can see that america that we know we c

before devos, the office was obligated to review any complaint in which a civil rights violation may. but now, devos is using the office for civil rights to investigate complaints like whether programs supporting women at yale university and the university of southern california violate federal law by discriminating against men. that's right -- the civil rights office is taking up the cause of white guys trying to get into yale.
