frederick douglas. sorry. i am going to get it together and frederick douglas is a man for all seasons. is he really sorry. we know frederick douglas, is he arose a parks dr. king and put on the pedestal. who was he as a man or as a father, a friend? this is from mount vernon as you can see, is he standing to the side. and frederick doing las was a newspaper man and advocate for women's suffering and he was so much more than that. and i touched into his character. who he was. and this image i did not use in the book but it did strike me. george washington is the founding father of the country. and everybody knows him and frederick douglas is as important to the country. as george washington. this the is photo of the crowd going to the president lincoln inaugural address. with two interviews with abraham lincoln. summer 1863 he read president lincoln riot act to fully enlist the black troops if we win this war. and lewis douglas who s frederick's eldest son was on the beaches of fort wagner with the massachuset

frederick k. douglas the other thing to talk quickly about is there is not a documented lynching in washington d.c. no one to be killed before trial but it is in the book, so i will not go into greater detail about this but if there ever was to be lynching with frederick douglass marshall it is interesting story which i go into detail in the book but i will not tell you know, basically he was in trouble -- in trickle to this happening. this is what he would have looked like as marshal doug was a very fit man. he actually did plops i said that because he would use gains but not to work one negative but not to walk as more of an excess rebut he gives him one of his cannes so i start to get into the local staff he buys a home of his government position and as steady reliable and tom. before that he was the on japan or. with the commissioner basically francis allen said we need police protection over here it is called the metropolitan police department because when it was formed with the suggestion of lincoln

are you with the frederick douglas foundation.f different topics, my concern, we're not holding the congressional black caucus accountable. they have been skrating by for years. and as a conservative, we need to demolish the cbc in itself. all of america, as my brother charles said, they get paid $175,000 a year, like every other congressional person and work on behalf of all constituents, not just blacks. look at what happened over the past six months, some of the nonsense and some of the ethics issues, we need to recognize they to a disservice to us. we look at detroit, we look at cleveland, we look at north carolina, we look all over the country, those community not doing well. >> bulldozing neighborhoods. >> absolutely. >> and get they get -- >> it's horrible. horrible. >> i promised, you are going to weigh in. >> one of the things i wanted to address early on, you asked a question, why 93% of the black vote still going to president obama? and i didn't hear anyone address that. when you speak spiritually of the issues that aff

you know, abraham lincoln talked to frederick douglas and used him as a sounding board.did the same thing with booker washington and later presidents did too. now for the last four and a half years finally in american history we have someone who is president who doesn't need to ask. >> michael, i want to ask you about his invocation of his daughters. children and the next generation seem to be really animating factor in president obama's speeches, but also in his sort of landmark moment. the landmark moments of his presidency. whether at newtown, whether talking about birth control, whether this moment talking about race and this feeling that those who come after us are better than us. tell me more about rhetorically and spiritually where he is on that issue. >> i think you're right, alex. when i heard him say in the clip that we just heard, made a little bit of an african-american friend who has a granddaughter who just learned about rose is a parks. she said we just learned about rose is a parks. i don't see why it was a big deal she wouldn't give up her seat to a whit

just like i see you in frederick dougla douglass, w.e.b., nelson mandela and president obama, i alsoho never had a fair chance to experience abundant life. i am writing you, because i need you to know about the rich history of your ancestors that runs through your veins, as it is far deeper that i any stop and frick, anti-affirmative action or any other discriminatory policy you will ever experience. i didn't want to tell you about how our family fought to ensure civil rights and mean-spirited people fought to strip those same rights away. from when they were first to unfortunately right now as i write you in 2013. i didn't want you to know that the only instantses where it's tolerable is when your parents graduated from the same school or far more frequent for black kids when you can do wonders with the basketball or run the football up their field to make them money that you will never see. son, i don't think my parents wanted to tell me this, either. i think they dreaded the day like i'm dreading this moment. instead they taught me black history that never made it in any of mice h

only learned about the story a few years ago and at first when i heard it, that is incredible, frederick douglas, the great abolitionist, still a slave, in 1845 takes a ship, she not even allowed to do first class although he has must have money to pay first class, takes the ship and lands in dunn leary in the port in dublin .. and i thought without, a black man going to ireland in 1845, what was that like? well, he was taken in by the establishment and the age flow irish and they took him all around the country, where he gave these fantastic lectures and to great halls of people, daniel mcconnell, a great er, a huge crisis of conscience for him, and i in think is where the story becomes really propound and powfl and contradictory, and where depiction can sort of enter, at the same time, the famine was unfolding in our country, and he saw worst poverty than he had ever seen in the south, the 3 million people enslaved in america, he thought, well, the irish had it much worse off and so his dilemma was, do i spec out on behalf of the poor irish when my hosts are the ones who are sort of holding th

. >> the story of voting rights and citizenships from frederick douglas to the modern era is really,of the american party. how did the party that elected the first u.s. black senator and the party that elected the first 20 african-american congressmen, how did that become a party that loses 95% of the black vote. how did the republican party? the party of the great emancipator lose the trust in faith of an entire race? from the civil war to the civil rights movement for a century, most black americans voted republican. how did we lose that vote? >> so then paul tried in that same speech to answer his own questions and he did so by pointing to the great depression and fdr's new deal. >> i think what happened during the great depression is that african-americans understand that republicans did champion citizenship and voting rights but became impatient because they wanted economic emancipation. they languish below in every measure of economic success and oppression was harsh for those on the lowest rung of poverty at that time. everybody will get something, well republicans offered som
