either probably the most impressive story about this comes from the early days of photography frederick douglas was an escaped slave and had the bright idea to use the new medium to combat racism. for he became the most photographed man in america. on death row for the for guns club but not explicitly mentioned photography we have texts written by him as a medium with a man super tory potential site you can show yourself you can distribute your image and publicize your ideas that way that was very important to him. but this exhibition goes beyond showing historical and modern possibilities whenever art plays a role the face becomes less intelligible for example when one artist experiments with facial recognition software. they manipulate it program even registers faces in these random curves and bulges. because the fuels i'm going to have artists keep proving to us that it's not as easy as it seems there are always more facets more subtle variations ultimately our face and especially our expressions are not just a template you can simply read it's much more complex than what can be measured and

frederick douglas sheltered william parker in his home. uglas named his son after charles vermont. ward was living in syracuse during the rest you and helped file jerry's manacles off his body. he participated in the raid and died 18 days later. it was also germane logan who accompanied brown to meet harriet tubman. these leaders vouched for each other. they filled in for each other on the lecture circuit. the list of connections could go on and on. say a few pivotal actions took place outside of this black network. prompted questions about how others were doing in the movement, how their needs could be met. on a more personal level, they teased each other, asked about their health, their children, and their spouses. john brown made sure to meet with these influential leaders. totook his own son with him meet douglas, robert purvis, and stephen smith in philadelphia. john brown was not just meeting with black leaders, he was meeting with black people with financial means and resources and experience with armed resistance. it was during his

i begin the book with a quote from frederick douglas, which i think is important. he is talking about the first time he met andrew johnson. he was there and this is what he sees. this inauguration day, i made a discovery about andrew johnson, there are moments in the lives of most men when the doors of their soul are open and unconsciously to themselves, their two characters may be read by the observant eye. it was in such an instance i caught a glimpse of the real nature of this man which all subsequent developments proved true. i was standing aside mr. thomas when i was pointed out to him. the first expression which came to his face, the truth in his heart, was one of bitter content and aversion. saying that i observed him, he tried to assume it a more wasndly appearance, but it too late. it was useless to close the door when all had been seen. second was the bland smile of the demagogue. i turned to miss dorsey and said, what ever andrew johnson may be, he certainly no friend of our race. this turned out to be true to the end degree -- to the nth degree. he was

so douglas, frederick douglas wants people to know that african-americans still have a difficult time, they still can't claim lincoln and his legacy for their own and he's certainly right, considering what happens in reconstruction and after. so let me just kind of in a few words to conclude here. the way lincoln is portrayed in various media speaks dramatically to the political and cultural experience of the american 19th century and beyond. as compassionate, critical students of history, as depaul university encourages us to be, it's incumbent upon us to understand this vital period and all the players, all the artists and operators, soldiers, enslaved persons, women, children and to understand the various audiences for those images across time. okay. so thank you, as ever, for your good attention. you see in class on wednesday. we'll discuss the cassen reading on the greek slave, as i said, and then next time we go to the art institute, i want to show you some dynamite -- a couple of great statues by daniel chester french who did the colossal lincoln memorial -- i'm not sure why i'

frederick douglass. i still think that -- i take douglas at his word that he met with him once at the soldier's home so i'm going to think four. doesn't a deep friendship make, but one more occasion. [ laughter ] >> and he certainly does miss the visit to the soldier's home when lincoln invites him for tea. >> exactly. and i think he makes great deal of there is no one whose opinions i value more than yours. and i think he's saying it to his crowd, lincoln is. so steve, i want to ask you a governor's question because i've always been intrigued by the serpentine way lincoln arrived in washington, d.c. i'm getting to something i want to turn to about. philadelphia, the eve of washington's birthday he finds out he might be assassinated if he goes through baltimore. he speaks at independence hall on washington's birthday and says famously "i would rather be assassinated on the spot than to surrender" which i think is the result of being told by two credible sources that he is facing danger. he won't do it. because he's promised the new governor of pennsylvania, andrew curtain who is certainly the governor that

know about the extraordinary quotes of frederick douglass having to push hisself in the white house for the second inaugural election. there is my friend, douglas. there is no one's opinion i value more than yours. which douglas thought of as a great moment in social history. was it bluster? tell us what you make of the friendship between douglas and abraham lincoln? >> first of all, the men only met three times very briefly. i don't see how that develops into a friendship. but they were personally acquainted. there's a difference there. when lincoln refers to douglas as my friend, he refers to a lot of people as my friend. that's not that unusual. douglas bought a great deal of it. we have to remember who douglas was. a formerly enslaved man self-made. able to free himself from slavery, ran away from slavery, came to the north and made something of himself. a grand something of himself. he was a leader of black america during most of the 19th century. so, he thought very highly of himself as well. so to be in the presence of someone like lincoln who is treating him like a man is a big deal to him. i don't think it's at all unusual for lincoln

frederick douse lass on the 24th -- douglas on the 24th anniversary of the emancipation proclamation made a statement that was as true then as it is now. he said where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that a society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe. well, this is the war on drugs. this is the marijuana prohibition. it has been a systematic oppression of poor people in our country. it has destroyed and devastated individuals, families, communities, cities. it has bled our national treasure. it has filled our jails to the point where we had to build more and more and more of them. it's taken away resources from investing in drug treatment or education which we know not only drives down drug use but empowers people economically. this is the war on drugs. this is the war on marijuana. attorney general sessions' policy recession today will only make these problems worse. at a time that the majority of the american public agrees with me, agre
