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

early part of the last if you rob a product said that the mockery see is a life of struggle and frederick douglass said power never concedes anything without a struggle so each of us in our own way every day have to do something to fight the propaganda this is still a mentality and the pornography of politics do you. do you just said that basically this is no longer a democracy it's a quick talk r.c. it seems to me that we're not fully into that new frame but we're awful awful close to it hollow would you propose or what have you seen as viable ways to break the motion in that direction toward total basically oligarchy in the united states. and grow they expect it of ours. i think just as we witness an arab uprising in the middle east we need an american uprising we saw a hint of it in wisconsin in opposition to the right wing idiology being imposed by the state legislature governed by by conservatives and it and iraq government and we saw people standing up and and demanding more dignity and and the protection of their interests against the power of that state and all over the country i see examp

there was young at the time of frederick douglass and so darner truth and harriet tubman. their work -- sojourner truth and harriet tubman. there were young during the time of slavery. the john does not have a special place to go to plead their case as if they are just dictums. -- just victims. they have to have some responsibility for themselves. i am looking at julian bond sitting here. he was 18 when i met him. were you older? ok? they started a body of rubbles called sncc. they did not wait for history or the future to dictate their behavior or how they solve their path. [applause] dr. king was 24 when he stepped his role. that is pretty young for a man who stepped into a wall as vast as he. people take the identity of the young by pleading some kind of mea culpa. what are our choices? what do we really have at our disposal. we have a history of resistance. you have a history of young people who stepped into the breach. you have a history of young people stepping on the buses and the freedom rides we have been celebrating these last few weeks. all of those things where

the south capital street bridge officially called the frederick douglass bridge carried vehicles into and out of the city. why do we need a new bridge? >> the bridge we have now is 60 years old. we have made many repairs to the bridge. the design structure when it was built was not an kuwaited. we need a structure that will last another 60 years. >> the new bridge is one of the highest priorities for the transportation department. it's estimated to cost $800 million. that will require a major commitment from the federal government as well as the city. >> if i had my way and had the money, we could see a new bridge in six to seven years. >> in the scheme of infrastructu infrastructure, it's not a long time. they are getting $68 million now in federal funds. it will be built south of the old one. initial work already has begun. >> to start the preliminary design for the bridge and the approaches to the bridge from south cap. we will create a round about type of interchange that will allow you to go to the destinations. instead of signalizing it and creating back up, we are trying to cre

before then, we have interesting accounts by men like frederick douglass who noted when he went to londonand was a guest, that afterwards, as you know, in england, americans who would, you know, refused to shake his hand in america asked him for introduction to the duchess. >> host: right, right. douglass and others as you say found racism not as pervasive in britain as in the united states, including the northern united states. >> guest: that's right. >> host: black abolitionist woman -- >> guest: exactly, trained to become a doctor and practiced medicine in italy, she left the north feeling very persecuted and wrote about that once she reached england and became friends of feminists and others, and said that, you know, she felt it be a yolk around her new york in new york being kicked off trams and that thing, but not in england. >> host: right, right. on the other hand, you would not say there wasn't any racism in europe. >> guest: exactly. thadz be silly. it existed. >> host: this is a different story in a way. i think at the same time as the american civil war, maybe more of a coinci

and there was a young in my time, the time of frederick douglass, harriet tubman, and there were young all over the place in the experience of slavery. young do not have any special place to go to plead their case, as if somehow they are more -- and they're just the victims. they do not have some energy and some responsibility for themselves. i am looking atjulian sitting here. he was 18 when i met him. [applause] where you're older? ok. he was with a group of his peers who were his age, and they formed a body of rebels called snic. and they did not wait for history or future to dictate their behavior and how they saw their past. [applause] dr. k was 24 when he stepped into the breach. that is a fairly young age for a man stepped into a role as fast as he stepped into, and i find that they're a very convenient arguments put forth by people who take the identity of the young by pleading some kind of mea culpa. what are our choices? what do we really have at our disposal? you have a history of resistance did you have a history of young people who stepped into the breach. you have a histo

there was a young and the time the frederick douglass, harriet tubman, so dirt truth. this has happened all over the place. -- there was young in the time of frederick douglass, harriet tubman, sold turner -- sojouner truth. i am looking at gillian sitting here. he was sitting with people his age and and they did not wait for history or future to dictate their behavior and how they saw. dr. king was 24 when he stepped into the breach. that is a fairly young age for a man to step into a role as fast as he stepped into. i find that there are very convenient arguments put forward by people who take the identity of the young by creating some kind of manacle bought -- some kind of mea culpa. you have a history of resistance, you have a history of young people stepping into the breach. you have had the freedom rides celebrating these past few weeks. all of those things where the well from which you could drink your own truth. my question is, what happened between that time and now when all such behavior of courage, resistance, rebellion was most evident and today you find th

as frederick dug last noted, it it -- frederick douglass means, emancipation means liberty, end quote. it is no surprise that the northwest ordinance of 1787 spreasly stated that the means of education shall be forever encouraged. that law encouraged new territories to establish schools. the federal government also encouraged states to establish public colleges and universities through the morell act of 1862. that started the whole land-grant college movement. moving into the 21st century, the -- the 20th century, the g.i. bill provided grants to world war ii veterans to pursue a college education. in 1954, the supreme court struck down laws endorsing racial segregation in public schools. in 1958, congress authorized the national defense education act, the first federal loan program for students for higher education. that was one i borrowed money from when i went to iowa state university. that was followed by the higher education act of 1965, the federal pell grants enacted in 197. the elementary and secondary education act was passed in 1965, provided aids to school districts to prov

at it from frederick douglass who says my interest in any mom is objectively in his manhood and subjectivelyood. and that's the way i feel about this project. this was really a chance for me to try to assess what -- where i would have been and what i would have done in 1957 if i had been here, a white guy, a student at central high school or a citizen in little rock, and whether i would have stood up and how well i would have stood up. and that's the attitude that -- with which i tried to write all this. i tried to let the facts speak for themselves. i tried not to be anymore judgmental than i needed to be, and not to take the easy shots. a lot of people in little rock -- most people in little rock were very nice to me. i got help from all kinds of people at various research libraries. i placed ads in the little rock paper for peoples recollections. i had many interesting experiences, some very moving experiences, and some surprising experiences. history is always more complicated, and the complications and surprises of history are what make it so enriching and satisfying to do. i mean, i re

in my mind, martin luther king, a frederick douglass, and jesse jackson. that is my order.is my list. we have been benefited by his genius. we covered a few areas today. we cannot cover them all. what he did with sports alone in challenging this country to deal seriously with athletics broadly and african-american athletes in particular is monumental. what he did with the film industry in hollywood and the legacies of inequality. he has resisted them ending gauge them. what he has done on wall street to make sure the flow of capital would be redirected toward poor communities. i bring him to the stage. i want to thank joseph and eric all of the people who are here. and nobody being paid. we did this out of the love of our heart. they were gracious enough to host us and then sponsor a lunch. now i bring to you the man whom wholove, who we admire, fo for so long has taught us to be better human beings and to make us understand that we are somebody. stand on your feet and received the rev. jesse louis jackson.
