at least it douglass. harold: as lincoln comes to baltimore he says he knows what a fugitive slave feels like. on the underground railroad. lincoln. called douglass thought that was pretty cool. lincoln had to hide like a fugitive. actually, back in rochester, douglass did go out and see lincoln at the whistle stop, when he was passing through rochester on the way to washington. he commented on the historic weight. his first inaugural to douglass, , was way too much olive branch and not enough sword. he basically hated that speech. there is a context here. this is obviously april of 1861. the secession winter has been a horrible time for everybody. terrible fear. where is this going? nobody knows. harold: and it is four months. david: it goes on for months. douglass believes -- not without good reason -- that the republicans will probably engineer some compromise with the south. there were all kinds of compromise measures in the air. he was not part of any republican network at that point. he is not inside

douglass -- edrick david: douglass would have loved to claim that. harold: douglass becomes a subject in these debates. why don't we just talk about that for a minute. edna: they are debating throughout seven cities where they had not done joint speeches efore. hey are trying to win over the crowd, so they are giving their perspective on slavery, it's onnection and development of the country, and where the country is going. douglas is someone who was if not pro--slavery, but very much pro-south. very much anti-black. he made a point, consistently to say things that would get his audience to come to his side-by-side negative things about black people. so to talk about douglass in relation to an alleged relationship with lincoln -- the two had not met at the time. ut to suggest that they were friends, he brought those things up to get the audience to see lincoln as someone who was pro-black. and we think of illinois because it was free state. we assume that there is a kind of -- if not a tolerance of black people -- there was not. you have a lot of peo

douglass does not like that. tell everybody why. >> go ahead. >> ok. >> i like doing mop up. >> by the time lincoln is inaugurated, seven states have already seceded from the union. and tryhas to come in to heal things quickly. he thinks he will be able to make a dent with this address. he takes a very conciliatory approach, trying to reassure them that he has no intention to touch slavery at all. that is the first thing he is saying. he is talking about -- i think the thing that really bothered douglas the most was the whole issue of the fugitive slave act. you have seven states who have seceded from the union, so lincoln is saying, we are not going to interfere with your domestic institutions. and if you want to continue recovering your runaways, we will enforce that law as long as it does not infringe on the rights of free black people. we know that there were times when free blacks were caught up andhe fugitive slave act were put into slavery. i think that is what douglas is concerned about, here is the presi

he was befriended by anditionist leaders douglass becomes the voice of black america. he creates newspapers, debates with lincoln. he was seen as somebody demand thing that america live up to his state of ideal. he is not the only person to do that but is the person who is the most visible african-american in the 19th century. anid: he was very articulate eloquent and many people were surprised. if you are a slave, you are not allowed to learn how to read. was that part of his appeal that he was very educated and people were so surprised to see such an educated african-american in that time? there were two things crucial to enslave people. theother thing was maybe key to freedom was education, being able to read. douglas was able to learn to read by playing with some of the children he grew up with, a mistress gave him some lessons. douglas was a voracious leader and desire to learn. he was a self-made man. he really became someone who focused his career on struggling for fairness in this country. >> he met with lincoln on three occasions. did he have a bond with linco

[applause] helene: you begin the book with frederick douglass. a really interesting choice because he was a very complicated guy, wasn't he? and tell us about his bearing witness and the point at which maybe he lost sight of that. cornel: the book is dedicated to david walker and. tubman, two folks always already on fire. goes back to the belly of the beast. david walker appealed the colored citizens of the world. he is a dead man nine years later in boston. he told the truth what a bounty on his head. that is my kind of brother. willing to tell that kind of truth, the vicious forms of evil in this society, not just white supremacy, but of course it spills over, to indigenous peoples, subordination of women working people, anti-jewish, , anti-arab, anti-catholic, all of those part of our history, but white supremacy sitting at the center. and so frederick douglass of the most eloquent ex-slave in the history of the modern world. by eloquence i'm talking cicero and defined eloquence, wisdom speaking in the face of catastrophe with a bounty on his

frederick douglass, who like many, prefer to be one of the founders of our nation umt, quote the whole history of the progress that all concessions get laid's own - - one of those are just and just like so many before a fight against tyranny. this struggle has not been easy and it has left alienation and for too many files but it is a real power in this country but not with them because they are just a few people to expand their interest but now at the expense of others needs. the injustice of this trial is another example of the way our system of justice has worked or more accurately, failed to work. but here's the thing. frederick douglass also told us that "if there is no struggle but he said it never did and it never will. so that a few people at the very top, the american people have to fight for the voice of the people in the power of the people. we must go into the darkness to shine a light and we cannot be deterred or overwhelmed and we cannot ever give up on our country we cannot ever give up on the ideals as a foundation for our democracy. we can never give up on the meaning

frederick douglass, for one, criticized lincoln's amnesty policy. he was very disappointed that it failed to establish black voting rights as a condition for readmission to the union. but douglass, of course, nonetheless endorsed lincoln, because although the republican party was not perfect, the democratic party represented something far worse. a mcclellan victory, as douglass put it, would restore slavery to all its ancient power and make this government just what it was before the rebellion, simply an instrument of the slave power. abolitionists supported lincoln in the end, because the choice was between moving forward and jumping backward, as one of them put it. in the end, lincoln won a resounding victory in 1864. again, we'll have more to say about that tomorrow. notching 212 electoral college votes to mcclellan's 21. at this critical juncture of the war, lincoln had not only maintained his coalition, he had extended it, winning a greater electoral mandate in 1864 than he had in 1860. calling lincoln's victory at the ballot box the great deli

frederick douglass also told us that, quote, if there is no struggle, there is no progress. he went on to say power concedes nothing without a demand. and he said it never did, and it never will. in order to wrestle power away from the few people at the very top who abuse their power, the american people are going to have to fight for the voice of the people and the power of the people. we must go into the darkness to shine a light, and we cannot be deterred, and we cannot be overwhelmed, and we cannot ever give up on our country. we cannot ever give up on the ideal that are the foundations for our system of democracy. we can never give up on the meaning of truth and justice, and it is part of our history, our past, clearly our president, and our future that in order to make these values real, in order to make the promise of our country real, we can never take it for granted. there will be moments in time and history where we experience incredible disappointment, but the greatest disappointment of all will be if we give up. we cannot ever give up fighting for who we know we

there is some falls, frederick douglass, with katie stanton supporting the women's right to vote. he splits with her, but he never loses his faith in the importance for votes for women and universal suffrage. if you think about someone like w.e.b. du bois, when you read the national association of colored people that was founded in 1908 or 1909, it practically reads like a suffrage magazine. there are so many editorials he is writing. there are reasons for that. it is because african-american men who fought so hard in the civil war only to have it taken away in the south by jim crow restrictions, they knew how important the vote was. du bois makes another point, which is kind of obvious, which if women get the vote, black women get the vote too. i think it is important as we think about a movement that has a reputation for being predominantly white and middle-class, we cannot let the racism of that movement keep us from acknowledging and making front and center the contributions of both african-american women, which are so important, but here is a perfect case where putting the me

and in my mind, frederick douglass and dr. king are founders just as much as the people who wrote the constitution of the united states. how could they not be? how could they not be? the women that fought to give my kids, my three daughters the right to vote, who fought for 50 years to get the right to vote, mostly women in this country. their founders disliked the people who wrote the constitution as well. and over the years that i have been here, madam president, as i have seen this institution crumble into rubble, this institution become incapable of addressing the most existential questions of our time, that the next generation cannot address, they can't fix their own school. they can't fix our immigration system. they can't fix climate change, although they are getting less and less patient with us on that issue. but what i have come to conclude is that the responsibility of all of us, not just senators, but all of us as citizens in a democratic republic 230 years after the founding of this republic is the responsibility

there was a fourth towering figure to emerge from this era and that is the environmentalist marjorie douglass. she would later go on to write the great book on the everglades which you have probably heard of and that was in 1947. when after years of devastation and drought, the everglades were on fire. and she serves in the book as a counterpoint to the developers and their shortsighted development activities. that of course ended in disaster. and she is really the conscience of this book. and she outlives the developers happily buy 50 to 60 years, living to be 108 and winning a presidential metal of honor. and as i got deeper into the actual research of this book, i began to suspect there was more to the story than met the eye. that economists and historians had overlooked the real significance of the boom or i should really say the bust. because the bursting of the land boom was very likely the event that triggered the great depression. just as, it was real estate, and not the stock market that triggered the great recession in 2008. so real estate, not the stock market, was the villain lead

that is why we have -- that is why we need an intentional plan, we call ours the frederick douglass plane essential steps needed to be taken to create homeownership and support businesses owned by those who have the best track record of creating jobs for others who have been excluded, making sure we recognize we can't just cross out racism and replace it with something neutral and expect things to get better on their own. beyond the racial inequality we see in wealth and income but the pattern of the 1% taking off into a different direction than everybody else. an economy that has grown over the course of their lifetimes more than ever and yet many people are barely getting ahead. wages if they go up at all are barely keeping up with the cost of health care and falling behind the cost of housing and education. it's why when i am president we are immediately going to measure what it is to have a good economy by something different. not the dow jones. sure if you have a building with your name on it not far from wall street, it seems at the same thing as the economy but i believe the stock

so part of what we've proposed in the context of the frederick douglass plan, to dismantle the effects of systemic racial inequality in the country, is a real focus on intentionally dismantling the health inequities. that means within the first 100 days steak a national health equity task force that will specifically map out where these inequities are sharpest. it also means creating and investing in what we're calling health equity zones. again, this is an example of where that will be defined and decided by local partnerships. local government, nonprofits, community leaders. but should have federal funding to help design a strategy and then make sure that strategy can develop with support from the department of health and human services. i believe that we can act to end the h.i.v. aids epidemic by 2030. that we can tackle a diabetes epidemic that has been heading in the wrong direction in many ways in many communities. and that we can end this crisis of maternal mortality in a country that is lagging behind almost all developed nations, especially for the experience of black and othe

as frederick douglass said at one point during the war the angel of liberty had one era of the nationand demon of slavery on the other. although shouted into the ears of congress as it fell forward. in this book i trade congressional politics with the endless seeking compromise and the mutation of popes into politics i generally try to keep the story within the present by that i mean i want you to feel the anxiety and uncertainty as well as the patriotic fervor and the irrational confidence to characterize every stage of the war when nobody knew when the outcome would be. emancipation was never named or the reelection this isn't a book about politics in the abstract but the men who practice it. i would like to be able to say that men and women but i'm out of luck.

militant abolitionism that was led by black and white men and women such as david walker and frederick douglass and harriet tubman and william lloyd garrison, as well as the publication of great novels such as uncle tom's cabin by harriet beecher stowe. even though radical militant abolitionism did not capture the majority of northern hearts, a moderate and influential antislavery movement seized on the connection between freeing slaves and the ideology of free labor. in fact, slavery offered a disturbing picture to northerners. it seemed it was backwards. it was bad for both races. his strip people of ambition. increasinglyseems clear that slavery and modernizing capitalism of a market revolution where polar opposites. posts marked the road of sectional friction. major events such as the meza rock controversy, the war with mexico, there will be a quiz , the compromise of 1850, the kansas-nebraska act of 1854, charles sumner on the floor of the senate in 1856, the in 1857, andcision john brown's raid in 1859 comprise a shocking timeline of the northern and southern dissension. gary: i want to t
