dr. lina brown tweeted, per dad's request, mom gave a girl a scholarship for one year, via the kind fund. for christmas or his birthday is to help a young woman get an education. you have now provided high school scholarships for over 6,000 girls where the high school graduation rate for girls is much lower than boys' graduation rate. and girls need a lot of extra support to stay in school. it is very common for 13 and 14-year-old girls who are forced to drop out of high school because they cannot pay their school fees to very quickly end up married and pregnant and become young mothers, most likely stuck in a lifetime of poverty if their village as a result with no real marketable skills. the scholarships you provided have changed girls' lives. this year we introduce you to some of the kind fund scholarship girls that are now in college and doing very well. one of them who i met two years ago when she was in high school is now starting medical school in china. without your help, these girls would not be where they are today. here is fanny who i met two years ago when she was in high scho

dr. abbott recalled that the commissioner of public buildings, benjamin brown french, greeted them. that is, he greeted him and dr. augusta, with all the urbanity imaginable, and conducted them to the president. upon catching sight of major augusta, lincoln grasped his hand. as they exchanged greetings, robert lincoln, who had been standing nearby, next to his mother, approached and as dr. abbott remembered, quote, asked a question very hastily, the purport of which i took to be, are you going to allow this invasion? referring, doubtless, to our presence there. robert was almost certainly acting at the behest of his mother. lincoln responded, why not? without a further word, robert retreated to first lady's side. the president then heartily shook hands with both dr. augusta and dr. abbott. the author of an 1864 biography of lincoln described that scene, quote -- "when two or three colored gentleman availed themselves of the privilege to call on him, the president gave no sign that he regarded them as different than other guests at the reception. they were greeted with the same cordia

brown chapel is one of the oldest black churches in selma. dr. king gave his first speech 1965. january 2, [video clip] >> i'm here to tell you that the businessmen, the mayor of the city, the police commissioner of the city, and everybody in the white power structure of the city must take responsibility for everything done in the city of selma. >> announcing his presence and letting the folks here know the voice.t now had a new 1930's, thehe voters league have been the main organization working in selma to achieve voting rights for african americans. they were the main people voting -- holding drives and classes for blacks throughout the county and city. they worked throughout the 1950's to40's, and attack the problem of african americans in selma not having the right to vote. sncc sentn february, its first representatives here to be the voice for sncc in the area. sncc was beginning to go into places that had not been touched by the civil rights movement. they were the people working with the young folks here in selma to prepare them for the work of civil rights and to march i

brown. >> thank you, chairman. dr. hall, we had a get together in my office. i had a few questions for you. you got me good answers. most people wouldn't look forward to being on a budget committee. i have learned how we work so hard to try to tell the truth. i know the state of indiana, we have passed a balanced budget amendment that makes it easier. we have done it out of practice. being on a school board ten years, being the ceo of my own business, it would be laughable if in any of those gigs that you would run the operation like that. i'm going to take a different tact here. great presentation in terms of the facts and figures. the other side, many times, indicates that we can raise income to offset our troubles here in the budget. i ask you a few particular questions. i was amazed at the answer that came back. i'm going to start with this one. to eliminate a deficit, you came back with the answer, taxes would have to go up across the board 33%. i want to make sure that that was correct. because that's a huge number. that's just a great example of how far

dr. franklin there when we talk about commemorating the wars of this country. and the wars take on different flavors. the civil war is an example. we think about our quest for education at brown versus board in little rock, the battles of gettysburg. dr. john hope franklin would leave us this thought. i quote, the places that commemorate sad history are not places in which we allow or wallow in remarks, but instead places in which we may be moved to become better citizens. that is the bottom line of all that we do. are we better citizens of preserving these areas? ladies and gentlemen, what is your take about the values of preservation and recognizing the contributions of those who have gone before? i don't have any good citizens with me today. [ laughter ] >> go ahead. >> i think that it's important for us to know that african-americans have been doing this for years, for generations, remembering each other, remembering one another, having places of memory. but it hasn't been in a wide way acknowledged until now really through organizations like this, through communities, through different people. and so i think that john hope franklin saying those words really is something
