. >> good morning, my name is dan jordan, i'm a peer councilor with the sro collaborative. as a peer councilor, the first person the tenants come in to see is us. we get many complaints about bathrooms being unsafe to use. myself, i live in a sro hotel. i know in my building the floors in the showers and outside the shower stalls are real smooth tile. we have no grab bars and my landlord says absolutely not, they are not going to put them in unless it's made mandatory. they would save a lot of money and so would probably the city and other services such as medicare, medical, if these grab bars were installed. we would have fewer people going to the hospital and it's just vitally necessary to have them as well as phone jacks in the rooms. there's only 5 or 6 people in our building that have phones because management and owners won't put in phone jacks. they say you want a phone, you pay the cost. we're not going to. so -- and most of the people in the building are on limited income like social security, ssi, that kind of thing, can't afford the $150 to $200 to install a phon

grateful to and rue for the aid he has lent me over the years and also to a former executive director, dan jordan, and leslie bowman, current executive director of monticello, for their support in the past and in the present. this is a magnificent resource and monticello is perhaps the leading public history site for the study of slavery in the united states. the study of that subject is really very difficult for a number of reasons. one is it is hard to find documents and the other is the psychological impediments that we americans have in that as described by my old neighbor, who happens to be the father of my editor, he said americans buy our own traditions are the most innocent people on earth. we never do anything wrong as a people and the country still is difficult to learn from the past because there was never any right and wrong. we always come out innocent. when one encounters a phenomenon such as slavery which seems so-called legal we have to find some way of dealing with it and we usually rapid in the word paradox, which is we suspend all judgment and say we just can't figure out the p
