but in 1865 the freedman's bureau took over freedman's village which at that time was basically a refugee camp and turned it into a real village with schools, training centers, hospitals, churches and farms. now, as freedman's village expanded, word of the success of this endeavor began to spread around washington, d.c. and around the nation. several african-american dignitaries from around the country came through washington to see what was happening at freedman's village. one even decided to stay. sojourner truth to the this day is probably the most famous resident of freedman's village. truth was a mainstay at freedman's village, and washington, d.c.'s newest hospital, freedman's hospital, which, of course, is now howard university hospital. more than just a preach every, sojourner truth was also a protecter for the people of freedman's village. slave owners from maryland had taken to raiding the freedman's village for black children to work for them, and if the children's parents complained, they were thrown in jail. but truth went through the village telling parents that they didn't

the point earlier about milton freedman. one of the things i did, i went back to look at the frame free market, which is the idea that there's actually this market system, this being out there, which before 1980 most people would say, well, who controls -- who creates wealth in this country? who creates new products and new technologies? most of you say, well, it's people who do that. what milton freedman did was create the concept over the free market. he eliminated people from it. he said this force, this power. capitalism. and right now most people -- there was an article ten years -- most people in this country look at themark mechanism as some court of god. so, that one book, that one -- framing activity that that one man engaged in was truly -- it was remarkable achievement. >> my name is bill. my question, how do you feel about the rampant consolidation in the financial services industry? do you see this as just a example of the trend you discuss or do you see it as something more, perhaps one of the drivers of the tr

with assistance from a lawyer from the freedman's bureau, she won. her lawsuit not only got the streetcar conductor fired it also became one of the stories that forced the district to desegregate the streetcars. this is what sojourner truths that happened after this. it created a great sensation and before the trial ended, the inside of the cars looked like pepper and salt. sojourner truth brought hope to the freedoms village of the residence also helped themselves by educating and taking care of their own. they started, they turned was ordered to be a refugee camp into a home, building houses and schools, wooden two-story duplex homes were built, housing multiple families. there were also homes set up for the old and the infirm who couldn't care for themselves. they also build schools which taught them trade so they could become blacksmiths, carpenters, shoemaker's or tailors. the students then gave back to the village making clothes and shoes for the villagers and chairs and desks for the school. so with all of this why isn't freedman's village sti

. >> i was was talking to you earlier about freedman's village. i have actually discovered a church in arlington, virginia, this is directly descended from the church in freedman's village. the church in freedman's village was called the bell church because the church owned a large brass bell. well, the church in arlington originally was called the old bell church. and actually it's changed names a couple of times since then, but they actually have some of the original equipment from the original bell church in arlington national cemetery. and the descendants, of course, of freedman's village live all around this area, and that's one of the great things i like talking about this book because when i talk about this book, i learn more and more about washington d.c. i have people come to me and say, well, you know, phillip reid was my great, great, great grandfather. i've actually found some of his descendants in washington. who knows what you will tell me after i complete here, but these are just some of the stories i've been able to find about wash

talk to kids at harvard who is graduating good gpa of losing jobs to kids from other countries tom freedman talks about "the world is flat" and in some ways it is but with competitiveness the terms of the value and this year's dollar value has never been more important. what to encourages me there is some common ground on education would also encourages me we know what works and makes for a good teaching there's a lot of researching and apart from the family the teacher is the single most important person in the educational process. so now we have a good state of the art of the knowledge maybe we can do the right thing. i have been pushing for 30 years and i will keep pushing. >> host: i am involved bringing teachers and the process in holding them accountable is the most important thing we can do to make sure the 21st century is the same. >> guest: look at these talented kids in teach for america wanting to teach. >> host: if thank you. the book is a center returns. thank you very much. >> thank you for being here today rehab the great lineup by read the book a couple of times and we shoul

benefit in advance of the fact and there is no guarantee and if we get to sentencing before judge freedman and their departure committee and i don't know how it is being done now in the federal system but i can't say my plan provided such substantial assistance. they are the gatekeeper from the beginning through the process and even if the court agreed were we entitled to have a hearing that my client had substantially assisted the government mccord is without the ability or discretion to say yes. it is not a level playing field across the board and the defense and the bench are cut out of it and they hold all the cards. >> two comments. it is an important point. it is managed differently by every jurisdiction. part of the discretion that law enforcement has is to handle it differently. it may work one way in washington d.c.. baltimore is a little bit different and state and local authority the different yet again. one of the things more data would permit us to see is variations in the way this question is handled across the country which is an important thing to know about our criminal ju

and the people didn't have guns were the unionist that were in the south and the freedman. and any property that those, any possessions, any -- you know, the families of the former slaves, the property, and everything that they were able to get after the war was under assault. one the things that the founders of the 14th amendment, one the reasons they wanted to adopt the amendment was to make sure that the freed man had a right and ability to protect themselves and their family from the first former rebels and then the clan which started to roam shorter after radification. the final point is that precedent does not prevent the course forever the infringement of the right to bear arms. the court is going to have to tomorrow wrestle with some very, very old cases. the court in three cases in the late 19th century held that the second amendment does not apply against state action. the court is going to have revisit portions of the cases. the slaughterhouse case which we are all talking about has already been gutted by subsequent rulings. mean the court in slaughterhouse has t

on financial aspects, essentially before march 2003 and after the lunch break i know sir laurence freedman wanted to pick up the larger scenes. but just to begin with, you told us already this morning just about the cost of potential u.k. involvement in action in the central estimate of the time i think you told us was 2.5 billion, was not to be seen as a constraint on a decision whether to act or not. how for though was the potential impact on the public finances efficiently a concern that was something you needed to share or was it something the treasury could contain within it felt like >> no, we had to be clear with parliament that we were setting aside money for this endeavor. so we made an original estimate of the cost would be 2.5 billion by 2006 because our planning. it took us to them. but then having revised our estimate it was 4 billion to 2006 and i think i'm right in saying that the eventual additional cost above the minister of defense normal budget was an accurate assessment that was made. in november, reported to the house of commons that we set up a special reserve. i was

story by dan freedman.ys, "last thursday, democrats announced a deal that gave all 50 states a 14-week extension." i think this was about three extensions ago, i've forgotten exactly. "senate finance committee chairman max baucus within hours of that announcement sought unanimous consent to pass the bill, even though republicans had already indicated that they would object so that they could try to amend the bill to replace the extension of the tax or, rather, to provide a pay-for in the democrats plan with the use of stimulus money" and noticed th"and noted thefact that i hadt we see a c.b.o. score on it. it also noted that reid and baucus and other democrats quickly bashed republicans. the delay is a threat to millions of workers struggling to feed their families as they retain or search for a new job, my friend, the chairman of the committee, said. earlier in this particular column, by the way -- this article, in fact, i'll just read how it starts off.
