[laughter]. he is a photographer for the maryland historical society and very fine man. and, so, yeah, but be so in the back where you're talking about, are modern people, they were all heavily admired her

one is done by one of his students and one is done by bruce wolf who's doing frederick douglass for us right now. the photograph on the visiting card if you gave his card at the photograph of him was taken in that building standing right over there. >> host: is it the profile picture? >> guest: he's a very striking man and it's a beautiful photograph and the original print we hunted down the man that owned it and bought it from him. we couldn't get him to sell it to me so we doubled the money. it wasn't for money. it was the obligation and we said in a circle for some of whom heard frederick douglass talk on the occasions at the college don't you think that photograph belongs here and the man send it to me. he's a photographer for the society. in the back but you're talking about for modern people they were all heavily admired or had a connection and if the that thh did that. in the middle are founders with washington and jefferson and madison. and in the fron front are civilr people because we were founded in the civil war so if a statute that was done in the 1880s is in honor of the

with that in mind, i love the quote by frederick douglass. it's easier to build children then to repair broken adults so while you can fill that matrix, it makes a lot more sense just to get a child without the bad habits . we will skip the cool brain connections. it's really easy to look at those risk factors and kind of start to portion them off and say i'm good to go, i don't have a healthy family, i eat good and make sure they wear their helmets when they ride bikes but oh well, we're not exposed to violent media that often, we are good to go and unfortunately it's not that easy. like a muscle, which is either growing stronger in intricacy or weaker in atrophy, there is no balance point, our brain is that way. if you are not pursuing protective factors, you are moving downhill towards violence. that's just the way it is. if you look at this protective factor here ask ourselves what can i work on today? what can i build? i want to highlight self-mastery of emotional intelligence. this self-mastery is an incrementally derived skill set that

with that in mind i love that quote by frederick douglass it's easy to build strong children then to repair broken adults. it makes a lot more sense to raise a child without the bad habits. it's easy to look at the risk factors and start to cross them off and say i have a healthy family, make sure they wear their helmets when they wear their bikes, they are not exposed to violence that welcome and good to go. unfortunately, it's not that easy. like a muscle that is either growing stronger or weaker, there is no balance point. it's only influx. if you're not actively pursuing you are moving downhill towards more aggression and violence. what can i work on today and build. it involves the ability to achieve goals to delay gratification to identify and recognize your behavior affects the emotions of others so you need to use that to make informed choices and you can build these skills. they can be taught in an academic sense. it's so important becoming a buzzword. when the governor is doing the sandy hook advisory report it came to one critical conclusion and that was that social and em

. >> frederick douglass, the son of a slave and a white man. >> i appear this evening as a thief and robber. i stole this hair and these limbs, this body from my master. >> that's what makes them special. he's not just telling you what happened. he realizes that history is defined by the people and by allowing them to speak to us, by feeling like they're actually talking the moment to us, you begin to really understand what happened and how we came to be who we are. >> nobody's ordinary. we can see relative ordinaririness, i suppose, between abraham lincoln and some private in his army. but abraham lincoln didn't necessarily have to rush that work of confederate soldiers firing cannon and musket fire at him. i'm interested in his story as well as lincoln's. communication is actually creating an environment where people belong. it's the campfire around which we sit and feel these are my people. i'm safe. it's dark behind me, but as long as i have this fire and these stories going, these songs we're singing together, it's okay. it's going to be okay. >> next -- the creator of a message

he's in heroic territory of people like john lewis and martin luther king and frederick douglass in that realm. i talked to president obama as one of the historians that regularly met with him. he wanted to be a mount rushmore president. he wanted to have a very significant presidency for all americans. and i see oddly similarities between barack obama and dwight eisenhower. eisenhower came into office, we had the korean war, he started extracting us from it. you see barack obama trying to get troops out of iraq and afghanistan and not completely out but reduced greatly. and you see a kind of no-drama obama and it was quite that way with eisenhower, too. kind of integrity of eight years. and yet, eisenhower couldn't get his vp nixon elected john kennedy won, barack obama couldn't get his secretary of state hillary clinton elected. he got donald trump. but it's a fascinating eight years of obama. i think he will get fairly high marks for being able to run the white house as well as he did. >> mark, your thoughts? >> again, i think president obama, first you say he's 95% successful among a

frederick douglass and other anti-slavery people, and they eventually go to harpers ferry in 1859.f you go there now, it looks like a disney version of a 19th-century village, but back then, it was a big munitions maker. industry was 40 miles down the road from washington. brown comes their not so foolish. if you can get some of these munitions, gather people under his cause, maybe he can have the slave rebellion that he wants. for two days, buchanan does nothing. he says, i can handle it in virginia. it was part of virginia then. ,ntil this prominent psion robert e lee, comes home from his post in texas arlington. he goes to buchanan and says, i think we ought to do something. he says all right, take some troops. course, lee does capture brown. they have sort of a show trial, he eventually gets hanged. by this time, he is a martyr. victor hugo is writing about him, rauf waldo emerson, walt whitman. of course, that angers both sides, exacerbating any problem because of his inaction. wendy kirkland art gallery shut down in washington, they had to get rid of a lot of paintings. you s

african-american pulpit, the ame church was the freedom church of harriet tubman and rosa parks and frederick douglass's also understood the concerns of white america, having a family. he's a mix-raced american, multicultural person. i thought fine -- that he's only going to grow in stature, he's going to probably get about $15 million, $20 million for his memoir. he's a great writer. he's going to have the library in chicago. i don't think he's going it be like jimmy carter in the sense of being that activist. he doesn't really like politics but he's a constitutional lawyer. someday you might even see him on a supreme court like william howard taft had once been president and then went back to the court and let's not forget, barack obama got two women onto the u.s. supreme court and there's a legacy inherent with that. >> that's interesting to think that, you know, born in the 1960s, a white mother and black father. that's where the country is going now. we're going to see more of that and that may be his legacy as well. thank you, jen lmen. i appreciate it. >>> when we come right back, for many it s

african- americans actually have quite a few biracial black people throughout our history, frederick douglassbooker t. washington, bob marley. so, that's not an unfamiliar thing. what's unique about the president is that he was born into the house of a white woman and her parents in hawaii, which was far, far from the fulcrum of jim crow at a time when marriage between his mother and father was illegal in broad swaths of the country. the very conception of him himself was taboo, and yet in this family and in this place, hawaii, there was great, great security, and there was great love, and not a kind of love or security that required a denial of himself as a black man. in fact, it was actually confirmed, and there was no contradiction between this white family loving him deeply, and him being black. that is incredibly, incredibly unique. i don't-- i've never come across that in my life actually. >> woodruff: and that made him somebody really unusual. >> different. >> woodruff: different in the course of the american political history. >> when it came time to campaign to a broader audience bey
