at least their forebearers did. as we think about that, and we even think about this in this time of year in a season around the holidays and you think about a lot of people are are christian, but you think about what did that mean 2,000 years ago? here we have what some people say is the christ child, but he essentially was almost homeless from nazareth in bethlehem, and then you had a king, harrod, who heard there was going to be somebody try to take over and it was going to be a child. and so they decided to kill all the children, the males especially that were two years old and under. all of a sudden they became refugees and they fled to egypt for a period of time, so they and where would we be in this world if we didn't help people that were fleeing from terror, fleeing from strife, fleeing from health situations if we didn't -- were in a place to accept people and try to help them along and give them a leg up and certainly we need to do background checks. we theed to do all kinds of other things to know who th

it's going to take forebearance, it's going to take the realization that if you say yes, that the sky will not -- the sky will not fall. and that it's possible to gain things through diplomacy, through reaching agreements, and that in fact is a far better way of gaining things than the old way of simply exchangin exchangg insults, threats and accusations. >> let's talk a little bit about the prisoner swap over the weekend which has been controversial in some quarters and a sign of achievement in others. what's your take on the prisoners swap, the united states agreeing to give up some of those charged in the united states for violating embargoes? >> first of all i was very happy to see the -- to see our prisoners be out of iran to be liberated, to be back with their families. jason in particular whom i knew from his time as a reporter, was an excellent reporter doing wonderful work for the washington post. again, but the interesting thing for me, personally, was watching these reports from germany, and frankly, it brought back scenes from 35 years ago. the view of the hospital, wasn't

today in this world of freedom those battles against which our forebearers fought are still an issue around the globe. young people still bear the burden of poverty, disease and slavery. but we are not here to curse the darkness but to light a candle, for the trumpet sounds again not to a revolution with arms but the joining of a long struggle year in, year out to uphold, defend and protect the rights of our fellow citizens of the world. for that, my friends is the spirit of the magna carta, the rights of the people above any other. across every city, every town and village in this nation, there is a war greater than any creation of any man that we see it not it looks down on us with its reprieve. the division in our society that separate rich from poor, world from world and religion from religion, though great, must be torn down until the wall shall fall. in the name of our libbers, i bid we stand, thank you, mr. speaker. [ cheers and applause ] >> hazeem, thank you for that stirring and powerful address. toni paxford from york sheer and humber is now due speak. where is toni? thank

peru's food is unequivocally awesome, it seems proper we take a trip back in time to meet the forebearer'sich cultural legacy. the museum in lima has a massive collection of pre-colombian artifacts. looking at them, you get an idea of what these ancient peoples were like, how they lived. >> wow! this is like the real stuff. >> i think so. the real deal, yeah. >> gold necklaces. you see where the spanish just freaked-out when they came here, turned into maniacal greed heads. >> history does not have to be boring. it can be sexy. >> i don't know whether you knew this, but i am an aficionado of early erotica of post colombian heiress, you know pottery of people doing it. >> i should have known that. >> turns out things can get pretty interesting back in the day. >> oh, yeah. those guys can get crazy and get wild and apparently very kinky. >> the erotic gallery. there you go. that's a conversation starter. >> i take eric to the pre-colombian boning section, actually the erotic pottery section. >> slip of the tongue. >> amazing. >> which sounds about as much fun as an all nude renaissance fair,

you can go to england now, in northampton, and go to the manor house where george washington's forebears lived. lawrence washington had three brothers, or two brothers. not going to go into the third brother. one of them was william washington of packing 10. william was born in 1589 and died in 1643. it's kind of interesting. although washington has been the subject of decades of genealogical research, there are still some questions about all of his english family lines. interesting and critical is, he's referred to, this man here, henry washington of south cave, is referred to as washington's uncle. there's no genealogy that shows what the relationship was, but the man that i think was the --st to say this was sparks what's his name -- the first biographer of washington. he identified -- what? i'll think of it. i'm sorry to forget, but there's so many names. anyway, henry washington of south cave was probably a collateral line to the washington's of northampton. i speculate, though there's no proof of this, that william, who had a son, henry, and that's documented, and henry was born in

. >> a possible forebearer to this new challenging of the status quo can be found right in the hearttal. >> i think this is one of the most awesome places in the world which is not very yenta lawist to stay. >> the well established hippie squatters. sounds as attractive to being sentenced to life at a phish concert. but there are some interesting features. there's no government to intrude on your personal freedom. you're free to behave as eccentric or normal a fashion as you wish. >> here, i mean, you can be the freak that you are. and if you want to spend your day talking to a tree, you can do that without being frowned on. >> this man and his friend are in local government, such as it is. >> he has been here for some 40 years. it was a military area that was abandoned and then occupied by squatters and hippies, despite the fact that the different governments didn't really appreciate what was going on here, nobody actually had the will or strength to put people out. >> who picks up the trash? >> we do. >> what about the essentials, electric, water? >> we buy it from providers. but w

mentor, who in his memoirs said something about how future generations will marvel at how their forebears could daily make their way through this and logical museum of clearly a rational social practices and behaviors. to jim crow, of course. i think eventually, the irrationality and the nature of jim crow and the way it contradicted declare national values just became quite weighty on the national conscience. mlk's appeal was always, we must live up to our declared values, not that we need to change our values, we've had these professed values for a couple of centuries, let's make them a reality. that proves very effective. there is another historical consideration here, too, that maybe has a place in this discussion. essentially, the federal government does out of the business of trying to promote the cause of black citizenship and equality and integration from the end of reconstruction until world war ii. a fairly well-known, but well known in this context, i suppose, item, is franklin roosevelt's executive order of equal accesscreed and employment during world war ii at defense plans.

australia and chances are you'll meet someone who insists that they are descended from cherokee forebears. how can so many people on the scattered all over the world claim to be cherokee? historian gregory d smithers addresses this question in his new book "the cherokee diaspora: an indigenous history of migration, resettlement, and identity." he reveals for the first time the origins of the dispersion of the cherokee people. he takes the reader back to the 18 and 19 centuries to uncover the importance of migration and tradition,nds, and and culture and language in defining what it means to be cherokee while living in diaspora. the story is a remarkable one. full of bravery, innovation, and resilience. gregory smithers is associate professor of history at virginia commonwealth university. his research and writing focuses on the histories of native americans and african-american people. since the 18th century. richly, he gave a most popular to park last year in november on the history of native americans in virginia. some of you may have been here for it. he is particularly interested in t

north korea, sort of disturbing because it clearly means he is furthering the ambitions of his forebearersnd it's a more powerful weapon which definitely was detected enorth korea is china's client. increasingly going rogue. beijing is not happy. in the short-term, china in the long run could put control over north korea, it's worrying. stuart: with a slowing economy they don't want that on their doorstep, but they've got it on their doorstep and that's an economic impact. how about hillary clinton? she was secretary of state when the north koreans exploded atomic bombs and her husband was the president when some would say he opened the door to north korea. >> look, i think all of these things that are erupting overseas have to weigh on her campaign. her one credential is her time as secretary of state. the best case you can make, she had no positive impact, but if people begin to perceive she actually had a negative impact by ignoring problems festering, et cetera. there was plenty of warning about this. they have been engaged in provocative acts for two or three years, warning about anot

-born members whose forebearers arrived decades ago to more recent greek and cypriot immigrants. as his son said, i always call him a peacemaker. he served as board member of the toledo council of churches and was active in the international institute, building good will with every step and every word he uttered. he raised his article of faith far beyond the congregants of his own cathedral. he planted his congregation's commitment in the heart of toledo and maintained it there at a time when it was really needed, before the community had transitioned to the new century. when it was struggling. and he led his community to oversee renovations to the church building as it was elevated to a cathedral, including the construction of a beautiful educational center and the purchase of surrounding property while supporting the parish leaders' decisions to stay put and not move. not suburbanize. he felt that that congregation should control its own destiny and to grow where it was planted. father chris was enthusiastic when the parishioners decided to throw a festival in 1971. and the hol

when i told my colleagues they brought this up what i would like to do is to forgive you for your forebearscting like damn fools. if italian students can do anytime economics chinese students, you throw them out of your office. black students we listen to the argument. a lot of what we see is motivated by white guilt, and that is perhaps one of the most dangerous and despicable motivations for doing anything. >> an article that appeared when you are teaching in temple, racism ?-question-mark, temple professor opposes easy grades. you can see professor opposes leniency. >> i came across this. he has meeting lunch with them. and i thought she was saying some of the problems he is having, they don't come everyday, many times they are sleeping in class. and so i said, well, what do you do? and so he says, i tried taking consideration. you have electric graphic pencil just like i do. and so he said well, if they come everyday and look like there taking notes are given the sea. i said, you know what your doing? that is like my having a dog in english class and sometime the dog gets on his hind le
