mimosas of africa, frederick douglass, has passed away. the question is it will be the new leader? washington has emerged. he has emerged as the new joshua. here first to washington as this joshua man. but as it turns out, washington is not the militant leader the joshua was. militant leader. and du bois is presenting himself as the more opprobrious successor, the more appropriate joshua. >> host: well, that said, what was the relationship from john mearsheimer and the larger white community. >> guest: well, very much involved, one of the founding members of the afc t. one can talk about the larger communities in a number of different ways. one can talk about him again with respect to the n.a.a.c.p., african-americans. activism. the point that i try to stress is what's du bois was about intellectually. a judge to open up the space for thinking, not only about the engagement of du bois throughout appropriations, contemporary american bankers, but to think, too, about, for example, but his time in germany. so, for example, not only interesting because he was a student. also interesti

washington and george washington carver, but she lectured about the contribution of frederick douglass, w.e.b. dubois, and how jackie robinson had broken the baseball barrier. and we remembered the opera singer who was not allowed to sing in the hall and had to sing in lincoln center. all the discrimination and the local in justices. like, everything was separate and unequal. the school was inadequate. we could not go to the hospitals. they built a house adjacent to the main hospital. the white people were not supposed to be in the same room with an n-person. you know the n-word? i said to myself at the end of the day that i love my country and i'm glad that that day, i took a stand. i saw through the supreme court that the flaws that america had tried to correct them by removing those horrible signs -- "white" and "colored." i said when i testified at the trial, i went through how we were treated, and the lady dramatize it, so i do not have to go through that, but it is the whole system of separate but unequal. it is understates rights -- is under states' rights. after lincoln had fre
