now i'm george jefferson. welcome back to "the five."ious groups to allow leaders with different religious beliefs to head up the group. what we didn't talk about is 23 members of congress are now stepping in after writing a letter to the school's chancellor opposing this rule. okay. what do you think? >> dana: this has been asked and answered by the united states supreme court. you don't have to hire someone not of your faith. there are congressional members who have written a letter because they agree -- >> bob: but the difference here, under school rule if you want to become official organization, you are suffer to the nondiscriminatory cost. anyone can join the group. i tried to join a sorority and they wouldn't let me do it. >> andrea: colleges and universities are the largest discriminatory body of the country. vanderbilt wants to be true so why don't they have an open application process and not determine based on gender and race which every college does? >> bob: you want a student organization to allow them to discriminate agains

now, that showed that you had made it, but george jefferson and louise jefferson, this african-american couple, had made it. and what did they do? move up. and not only did they move up, but they department have to have -- they didn't have to have beans burning on the grill anymore or fish frying. they had bought into a new way of life because they were now able to relocate and prove to the world that they had made it. so i look at popular culture, and i look at literature to help really illustrate not only the role that it plays, but that the home plays in our thinking about equality, but also our shared desire, the desire that we all have to find a home whether it's -- we think of it as that place or a state of being. and one thing i think really is pivotal or at least my growing up and understanding of the cig any can of home and the relationship it played in the role of equality is lorraine hasn't bury's, "a raise sin in the sun." and i discuss the play because it is such, in many ways, a timeless play. it's been staged and restaged since it debuted, i think, this this -- in 1959, c

john adams was president between george washington and jefferson. all of these are iconic figures but they have created new narrative and he's also celebrated the human stories behind great events like the building of the panama canal, the brooklyn bridge and also of historic tragedies like the johnstown flood. david mccullough is our citizen chronicler. his latest book is "the greater journey: an american in paris." the 19th century journey of americans who have gone to of the learning of the old world even in a time when other americans were journeying to the pacific to discover the natural resources and the natural beauty and the challenges of the american frontier. america was opening up a new world physically in the west while enriching itself culturally and intellectual in the great city of light and the journey eastward across the sea. ladies and gentlemen, david mccullough came into my office two days after the first national book festival to say how important it was to continue to do this kind of event nationally and he offered to help in a

today and politicians today are thin skin compared to that criticism of going back to george washington and thomas jefferson it is perhaps not enough read the history to realize that to another interest gain fame both lay their heads on their palos just as they have been born the white house is now 100 miles apart each one is streaming and applauding they suffered another said the tragedies lincoln's favorite son willie died in the white house and lincoln was crushed. no one in washington knew about a and rutledge. merry lincoln did but did not want to hear about it. he never discussed her or wrote about her. but the death of his son sent him back 30 years with the loss of devastation and it really made lincoln empathize with all of the dead of the civil war in if you read his letter which is by far my a single most beautiful written letter that lincoln ever wrote and written to a young girl that the man was killed in battle but he was right team to himself and to the american people wonder if his low voice fell and only to hold hoods son in his arms siskel was crushed in the bones are broken and as he held

thin-skinned compared to the criticisms leveled against politicians going back to george washington and thomas jefferson. i think it's perhaps today because not enough of our leaders read and know our history to realize that american politics was much more rude and vicious and critical in past centuries than it is today. another interesting thing, both laid their heads on their pillows just as they had been born, less than 100 miles apart, their white houses now 100 miles apart. each went to bed in his white house dreaming and plotting to defeat each other'sation and to win. during the civil war they suffered another set of tragedies. in february 1862 lincoln's favorite son, 12-year-old willie, died in the white house. lincoln was crushed. no one in washington knew about anne rutledge. well, mary lincoln did, but she didn't want to hear about it. lincoln never discussed anne, he never wrote about her. but the death of his son sent him back 30 years to that same feeling of loss and devastation. it really made lincoln, who was very empathetic anyway, empathize with all the dead of the civil war. and, in f

. >>> george washington, abraham lincoln and thomas jefferson joined by dr. martin luther king, jr. with the memorial on the national mall. stevie wonder sang at yesterday's dedication and president obama spoke to the estimated 10,000 people who came out for this. to many, the towering granite monument is a stark reminder that the civil rights leader's dream of social justice has not been realized. to have the nation's first black president dedicate the monument was not lost on some students from the core eight scott leadership academy in atlanta. >> it's life lesson. >> there is not even a word to describe being here. like, okay, the lincoln memorial, excellent. but dr. martin luther king memorial, no one ever saw this coming. >> it is a big deal. he has a global frame of reference for justice and peace. that is a gratifying feeling to me to know he is appreciated in that way. >>> those who stayed around longer got a few extra songs from stevie wonder. >>> cornell west is waking up in a d.c. jail this morning. he was arrest on the steps of the u.s. supreme court sunday while protes

i went to a section where they had little busts of presidents of the united states, george washington, thomas jefferson, barack obama. you turn it up. do you know where these busts of presidents of the united states were made? yeah, you guessed it. in china. well, we have since been having some discussions with the smithsonian. they are in the process of changing their policies. we're in the process of working with other people as well. but that's how bad the situation is that busts of american presidents made in a museum owned by the people of the united states of america, talking about the history and culture of america, are made in china. that's just one example of how pathetic this whole situation is. and on and on it goes. by the way, mr. president, when we talk about trade, we often focus on blue-collar jobs, on manufacturing jobs, but it is also increasingly information technology jobs and white-collar jobs. just think for a moment, mr. president, that during the past four years, the cumulative trade deficit with china in advanced technology -- i'm not talking about sneakers -- advanced technolo

boom was the courier between jefferson and george rogers clark when jefferson was begging for fossils from the west, any sort of plants, animals, curiosities, anything that would inform jefferson about what was there across the mountains. he wanted to know everything about that world, and he wanted to possess it. [inaudible] >> is this better? thank you. indeed, one of the parts in your book i just absolutely loved was the discussion of jefferson. constantly writing george rogers clark, you know, who is up to his neck in chinese and british, you know, fighting tooth and nail to hold onto the old northwest. and it's like clark, you've got to give me some mastodon bones. i've heard they're out there on the kentucky river. and you just, but pack them really carefully. i just can't imagine that. these people are hanging on by the fingernails and jefferson once those bones. >> oh, the world is changing. the last year, to use of the american revolution, and he's thinking about those health and bones, those mammoth bones. he wants to know what animals are out there, what is the body of the w

willard sterne randall has written biographies of thomas jefferson, benedict arnold at george washington and been nominated six times for the pulitzer prize and is a happily retired history professor. join me in welcoming him to politics and prose. [applause] >> thank you very much for coming out tonight in the thunder and lightning. my point of departures from the introduction. if we know anything about ethan allen usually is only that he took fort ticonderoga wherever that is and however you spell it. his name is usually linked with the green mountain boys as if they were joined by a mystical chord. we know little else about him. that is why i wrote this book. i have lived 25 years in vermont where he has become a mythical figure. part of what i had to do is peeled away the layers of mythology and try to figure out what the real ethan allen was like. to vermont he is part paul bunyan and part davy crockett and two part jack daniel's. as soon as i said i was writing about ethan allen eyes are a gesture i had never seen before. ethan allen. that seems to be apart from bond is proudest of

jefferson davis was there in july 1861. he went to the battlefield of all run while the battle was still unfolding. he almost couldn't hold himself back. perhaps he thought that george washington in the american revolution he was going to be a commander in a commander-in-chief as well as the first president. >> host: adam goodheart is the author of "1861". he's joining us here at the book festival. san jose, california, thanks for holding. you're on booktv. >> caller: yeah, it's hard understanding that allan tinker 10 handled abraham lincoln security during his travel from springfield to washington d.c., leading up to his first inauguration. it's my understanding their they are assassination plots against abrahamlincoln. >> guest: you're absolutely right. there were assassination plots. it's debated how close to fruition they swear, but most famously applied in baltimore to assassinate lincoln. it's unclear how they plan to do it, possibly by derailing his train, most likely he was going to be stabbed on his way passing through baltimore. in those days when you come to baltimore, they actually had to unhook the train from attention and draw the streets of baltimore
