their daughter eliza was born on a steamer, up the mississippi river, above the 36/30 line. okay? their other daughter lizzy was born in missouri, upon their return. so dred scott v john sanford is not just about dred scott. it's about harriet and dred and eliza and lizzy, it's about a family who in various ways have different claims to freedom, right? i mean eliza is born in a free territory, and lizzy is born upon return to parents who have been effectively under law presumably possibly freed in their residence in a free territory. so first and foremost, i just want it make this clear, this is, the dred scott case is a family freedom suit. and like queen v hepburn, and many of the others that came forward in washington, d.c. the other introductory point here is this. all of these freedom suits aim toward limiting slavery's reach, right? you think about all of the freedom suits are about defining slavery as circumscribed by something. it can exist in a certain state, but not others. it can exist only by law, in this way. if there are wills or contracts, as we're going to see in a

eliza sims and her son earl as to their. -- eliza sims and her son are listed there. even though there are initials here, this is emily. sorry, ella crosby. i found that corroborated by an additional document. is one ofalso shows the things that is interesting when people ask me about the numbers is they say, how many are there? i talk about this difficulty coming to a precise quantity because of things like this. is listed notella e.ella but is the -- but as crosby makes it difficult to know the complete number of slaveowning women because of the fact that they were often referred to only by their initials. you are unable to identify whether they where women are not in some cases. they were women or not in some cases. nevertheless, it shows women, even into the civil war, are benefiting from the labor of enslaved people. era, you the civil war see that slave owning women are hunting down enslaved people even when you think the jig is up. it is february 9 that lee surrenders. they are still hunting down enslaved people. ultimately, these are the kinds of documents tha

eliza, i want to start with you. what do you make of these charges? do they go far enough? >> hi, alicia. thank you for having he. so with regard to those charges i've been a public defender in manhattan for over a decade and i've had clients charged far more quickly in far less serious offenses but with intent to do something with far less evidence. and i think that it's quite clear if someone kneels on the neck of another human being that that is an intentional murder, and there is no excuse except for the perpetuation of two tiers of justice, one that exists for, you know, the powerful, for police officers, for the wealthy and well-connected and another for everyone else. for people of color, for low income communities, for other margealized folks. and i think what is clear here that we need a district attorney from minneapolis to manhattan, we need district attorneys with who are going to hold police officers accountable for their actions. and though the medical examiner says all these pre-existing conditions existed in george floyd, i think the only one not mentioned w

so, you have eliza sims is listed on -- let's see if i can -- yeah. so, eliza sims and her son are listed there. you have mary sims there. let's see where i can find the other one. oh, there's anne mansfield there. and even though her name is, there are initials here, this is ella v.cosby. so i found that corroborated that in additional documents beyond the slave payroll. but what this also shows, again, is that one of the things that's really interesting, when people ask me about the numbers, is they say, well, you know, how many are there? and i talk about the difficulties with coming to a precise quantity because of things like this. so, this, the fact that ella is listed not as ella, but as e.v. cosby, makes it sometimes difficult to know the all-over, the complete number of enslaved people -- i mean, slave-owning women -- because of the fact they were often referred to in the documents only by their initials, so you're unable to identify them, whether they were women or not in some cases. so that makes it difficult to come to a concrete number mo

never rarely sometimes always, the third film by new yorker eliza hitman, scooped the jury prizes ate and berlin film festivals. the story of a teenager, autumn, who travels to new york from the countryside to seek an abortion should be in cinemas this month. covid—19 means it's still coming out, but only online. i know this is hard. i don't know if a release strategy without theatrical enhances the audience necessarily. i do think that since we are in the middle of a global health crisis, that it might reach a vulnerable audience. last year, thanks to movies like frozen 2 and captain marvel, films directed by women made a record $1.7 billion in profits and women made about 15% of the top studio releases, a record. i believe in you, elsa. but many high—profile 2020 releases by women won't get a chance to build—up box office figures despite their online releases. these include the assistant by kitty green, about a young woman who suspects the powerful media mogul she works for is a sexual predator. you know you can always come to us, right? come to us first, 0k. and haifaa al—mansour‘

would you briefly tell the story of eliza hamilton and her claims that her husband wrote george washington's farewell address? craig: it's a crazy story and one of my favorite ones in the book. it deals with the farewell address that we talked about. the fact that it was washington's speech is what mattered. alexander hamilton famously died in a duel, and his reputation hit a low point. his wife, who was very loyal to him, decided that i need to prove my husband was the one who wrote the speech to give him help in recovering his reputation. it's a crazy story. it almost feels like a spy novel. there was a bundle of secret documents that were sealed in whacks. -- wax. hamilton's supporters would pass it around. these are people who were loyal to hamilton. one of the people involved with somebody who really cared about alexander hamilton. his children were trying to hunt this down. one of his sons would try to go to the house and be nice. he would say, why don't you turn over these documents? when that did not work, the other son came along and was very menacing and tough. that did not work. i

eliza scanlon is piano—playing beth. florence pugh is the impetuous amy. better than me. gerwig's twist to fiddle with the timeline is bold. if you have not read the book, the structure can be confusing. the film jumps back and forth and it also takes us to amy's time in paris, with meryl streep as the withering aunt. current heart—throb timothy chalomet is cast as laurie and he perfectly captures the sincerity and spark the childhood friend. the film reveals some of the story's twists at the start and focuses on the characters. saoirse ronan‘s jo is complex and believable. she is funny and intelligent and full of practice very about a world that expects her to marry rather than earn a living. i'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. i'm so sick of it. this little women is a feminist piece and a plea for neighbourly compassion which feels relevant in these times. it's available on digital now. this is a film school of sorts in which all the teachers are women — an academy of venus. many female film makers are sadly overlooked
