frederick bailey took frederick douglass, and basically, it was suggested a general by the name of nathan johnson, who suggested that he take the name of sir walter scott's main characters in the book, frederick douglass. s, and it was they double douglas. >> yes, it made it very unique. before we get into many more details, wisely relevant today? >> he is relevant because he lived a life of agitation. he basically was very focused on equal rights for all, no matter creed.ks, color or what we find is he lived a life of sacrifice and wanting to see all individuals obtain any and all forms of equality. what we find is he is a universal reformer, and he was very involved in the abolitionist movement, he was very involved in the temperance movement, he was also involved in the women's suffrage movement . and he continued to use his voice even after slavery was ended. slavery had been abolished, so to basically become sort of the forerunner with others in terms of the early civil rights movement. susan: he also became one of america's early international celebrities. how did he manage to trave

but frederick douglass isn't sure of that.solve for the cause. ♪ ♪ >> mr. president, is anything the matter? >> i just need a moment. >> the emancipation proclamation is the result of a nearly two-year-long battle to define what the civil war means -- to the soldiers in uniform, to over 3 million enslaved african-americans, and to lincoln himself. when lincoln takes office, he tries to prevent the looming civil war by reaffirming his belief in the south's constitutional right to own slaves. >> what about this part? "i have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists." >> no, that -- that's good. remind the south that your position on slavery has remained unchanging. >> william seward had been a political rival of abraham lincoln's, and yet he selected seward as his secretary of state. seward was certainly more of a passionate abolitionist than lincoln.don't believe lincoln sw himself truly as the president that was going to end slavery. his mission at that poin

you could use frederick douglass as an example. there are ways you can document have a certainat transparency, so it makes it very easy for people to check sources and follow them. in the 19th century, in certain respects, the night teen century is closer to our own moment right now, in which there were not as many official channels of dissemination. until nearly 19 days we had something called the fairness doctrine. when you articulated a point of view on tv or on the radio, there had to be an opportunity for an alternate point of view next to it. as soon as that was abolished in we ronald reagan era, got the rise of shock talks and right-wing talk radio and talk news. and now the whole news ecosystem is organized around people talking to themselves and their chosen demographics, without regard to any form of reliability or verifiability. policy matters. elections matter. >> anymore questions? more questions? you started to address the question i was going to ask, but how have people historically dealt with that moment, that seems

months later, frederick douglass described his reception. upon arrival at the executive mansion, he found the stairway jammed with white office seekers. and since he was "the only dark spot among them," he would expect to wait half a day. but he said in two minutes, after i sat in my cart, a messenger came out and invited mr. douglass in. i could hear the eager multitude outside as they saw me passing and elbowing my way through, "dammit, i knew they would let the nigger through." douglas was immediately taken with the president. "i never met with a man who impressed me more entirely with his sincerity, devotion to his country, and the determination to save it at all hazards." douglas describes the interview as "a man in low condition needing a high one, not greek meeting greek, but rail splitter mettieting nigger." he was impressed that the president called him mr. douglass. in a letter describing the conversation, mr. douglas wrote "that my whole meeting with the president was gratifying and reassured me that slavery would not survive the

oh well i have two years later frederick the first replied that in view of conditions in pity of the gladly gave his most gracious consent to his subjects petition but the chapel soon proved too small within. quarter of a century the population quadrupled so the congregation decided a bigger church had to be built. but the ground plan was a simple one drawn by jaco lebanon who had a name as an accomplished master carpenter and builder of churches it had to be submitted to the swedish court for approval though and the first unofficial response was that the plan was undependable and unacceptable two years went by without a positive response tired of waiting the people of petty of a.z. result to build the church on their own responsibility. by the summer of seventeen sixty three the members of the congregation had got together the stillness with the foundation and the timber require for the structure under jaco lebanon's guidance and following his original plan the shell of the church was a wrecked it in just thirty five days. the chronicles added a horseman brought five thousand iron n

frederick douglass said, after the civil war, that the south repackaged its hatred of the yankees in the civil war and directed it toward the freedmen, to disestablish the 14th largelyt that was born here in memphis, and set aside the 15th amendment and parts of the 13th amendment, that we went backwards and repackaged the hostility toward the aggies into hostility toward the freed -- hostility toward the yankees into hostility toward the freedmen. dr. king said what happened at the end of his career is that america had repackaged the over resentment of segregation into a resentment of the federal government sponsoring diversity and civil rights laws. and hostility to government became the prevailing theme in government. he said george wallace has revised his stump speech into minor little classics that never mention race, and say that his only goal is to restore the goal -- restore the role of local governments from tax and spend liberals. and we turned away from the message of dr. king for largely 50 years, into gridlock. it has happened before. my thesis is that race is and always

it is not the woman's hour, frederick douglass and the other abolitionist tell the women. the women's hour will come but it must wait and that is where the title of my book comes from. there is a heartbreaking split between the movements. stanton and anthony refuse to support the 14th and 15th amendment because women are excluded, and for the first time the word mail enters the constitution. it says male citizens shall not be denied the vote. stanton says, if that word mail be inserted in the amendment it will take us at least a century to get it out. she is not quite right. it takes over 50 years in anger, stanton and anthony express bile and racist sentiments against black and immigrant men who are not as well-educated as they are and they say why should they have the vote before women like us. it took years to heal the breach. but it was healed, however racism in the movement was never fully resolved, just as it's not been resolved and the rest of our national consciousness. it was a painful moment for the extraordinary 50 year partnership between stanton and anthony. i

we are lucky enough to think about the witnesses that we have . 200 years ago frederick douglass was born. he said after the civil war that the south repackaged its hatred of the yankees in the civil war to disestablish the 14th amendment largely here aside the and set 15th amendment and parts of the 13th amendment, that we went backwards and repackaged intolity of yankees hostility to friedman. dr. king said what happened at the end of his career is that america had repackaged the over resentment of segregation into a resentment of the federal government sponsoring diversity and civil rights laws. to government theme ine prevailing government. and say that his only goal is to from tranquil governments and tax and spend liberals. we turned away from the message of dr. king for largely 50 years in gridlock. it has happened before. my thesis is race almost going to has been -- that it can swing open and it can swing closed. we tend to bounce off of race to get onto other topics and lose the wonder of it. the new -- it is potential across racial barriers. we are in another time of stirr

and we have the first edition works of the biography of frederick douglas as well. behind you, one of my very favorite artifacts is down here in the bottom of the case and it's known -- it's a sharp's rifle, but it's known as the beecher's bible. now, we've talked about harriet beecher stow. her husband -- i'm sorry. her father, henry beecher was a staunch abolitionist as well. and what he did is he took these sharp rifles and he put them into a case or crates and he would ship them to kansas to support the abolitionist movement. this isn't an exact quote, but close to it. henry ward beecher said if he can't convince the slave owners through the word of god that the enslavement of the african people was wrong, perhaps he could convince them by looking down a barrel. he put them on a train and marked them as bibles so they wouldn't be suspicious as he transported them to kansas. >> this area also talks about the formation of the american bible society, which it today is still the largest in the world, even though there are bible societies in virtually all countries.

[laughter] representative pelosi: he was our frederick douglass of the group. but more importantly, louise took seriously her responsibility to empower the next generation of women to stand on her shoulders. throughout her time in congress, she mentored staff and other women members to achieve their full potential, and in doing so , she changed the target and culture of the congress. louise made the congress more diverse, more welcoming to women, and more representative of our nation. she encouraged members and staff alike to know their power. we thank her staff. she loved her staff. she took pride in her staff. and i know that they took pride, whether it was the rules committee or her personal staff. [applause] representative pelosi: so there are two things i want to say in conclusion. one is that louise was a moral force in the congress. when you had to make a decision and you went to speak to louise about it, it was about looking into a mirror of your own conscience. her response was always so right. so values based. that you wondered why it was ever a quest
