for a long time we've been told it's in our genes and that the genes we're born with form allergen a tick blueprint. now researchers say it's more complicated through a mechanism called epigenetics our environment and lifestyle can actually modify our genes. one in every five hundred women has a potentially dangerous genetic defect. a mutation in one of the b.r.c.a. genes which increases the risk of breast cancer. but not every woman with the mutation will develop the disease so what determines who will a question that genetic. that's the year i spent years investigating. the idea that spurred this research came to him one day at lunch. i was having lunch and for the area and a couple of twins in. the restaurant and you can see they were doing this because they have similar features but one was seen and the. more fat and they thought it was possible it had the same d.n.a. . still yet realize that twins could be the key to solving the mystery. he began reviewing the medical records by going to call twins who have the genetic mutation. and the suspicion was confirmed with a couple of w

we found the gene for this. there is a gene for people for schizophrenia. we are looking for genes for addiction. we were talking about people looking get genes to talk about things like homosexuality and trans identity because we tend to think of putting genes as a way to understand things that exist in the world. as long as we are trapped in thinking of those genetic terms, the eugenics questions will come in to play. if we think more broadly about the social and cultural and environmental causes, we might be able to think beyond a genetic set of terms to think about a lot of issues. so, did will get more complicated. susan: important to know the history as a gets more complicated. thank you for giving us a brief look at eugenics and african-americans in our society. and american society. thank you for having me. you're watching american history tv, all we can, every weekend on c-span3. to join the conversation, like us on facebook arid -- facebook. the bible in washington, d.c., which opened on november 17 of 2017 has more than 3000 books on exhibit. the

gene hennessy, who passed away, and bob guest. they both passed away. you will they were johnson him delegates, but they said, this is it. and these people are not a traitors. we know them. we know them well. and somehow, the mccarthy campaign got into a radio station and got a copy of the ad. that -- david would remember how, but they literally got in, got the ad so they were ready for what hit and it was right before the election, so they knew it would be called traitors, etcetera. it was a very well organized campaign. you we met so many wonderful people and brought a lot of new and people who had never been will will active in politics into the political process. in i think that's basically it. i promised i'd be brief. my -- mine is a personal story, and i'll probably forget some things that i wanted to mention, but it began, really, in 1964. at that time, i had served my first term in the legislature when i was a student at unh, and president johnson came to new hampshire, which was unusual because they usually didn't come in the actual presidentia

he said, i'm not here for paul newman, i'm here for gene mccarthy. we sent him ice skating up in new hampshire. he campaigned. he was fabulous, and he knew the issues. we also had tony randall. i went to a coffee, i took tony randall to a coffee in keen. he couldn't answer any of the questions. he was always signing his own autographs. so i went home and i said, david, you got to get to the campaign. we've got to pull him. so we pulled him, told him his schedule was over, and brought paul newman back in. but it was just the difference in approaches that newman was so committed to being against the war that he wasn't there to promote himself. another -- oh, another interesting thing. when the campaign got really nasty at the end, you referred to -- they started calling us traitors. there were two major democratic players in hanover who said that's it. gene hennessy, who passed away, and bob guest. they both passed away. they were johnson delegates, but they said, this is it. these people are not traitors. we know them. we know them well. and somehow,
