people didn't talk about them in the context of george washington's life. and it wasn't really until the 1920s and the 1930s that people began to say, hey, look, here's this other aspect of who washington was, and let's take a hard look at this and what this means. so this painting of parson weeks' -- weems' fable has a satirical element, but there's also a very serious element to it too. it was a time of reappraising who george washington was. and i'll get back to that in a moment. one of the things that helped weems to be so successful and his followers in the 19th century in creating these stories and these images of george washington was the tragedy of what happened to washington's papers. now, when george washington was alive, he thought very seriously about the value of his papers. he called them, and this is a direct quotation, a species of public property, sacred in my hands. when he was on his death bed, he -- in his last word -- he asked that his will be brought out. he wanted to know that martha was going to be taken care of. but almost his last w

in this panel, we have a depiction of george washington moving west. what is interesting about it is the image of lewis and clark here is in black and white, something that is occurring in the future, painted as though it was in the past. what is interesting about it is the very obvious conclusion of slavery. the number of students were expressing unease around some of the themes. the additional mural would be placed in the school, one with more positive representation of the student body. in 1974, they completed three panels that were placed in the library -- in the lobby. they depict native, latino, asian american, and african- american heritage and culture. >> that artist was talking about the history coming alive. that is what we want for the students here. i also think they might share that with past alumni and the community, so they could no the treasure that we have here in the schools. many people have the same experience i did when i first walked into this building three years ago, being the new principal. the grandeur of these murals is fanta

so there he is, george washington.is city is bracing itself for the first and largest battle of independence, he's actually thinking about his garden in mt. vernon. one evening just a few days before the battle of new york he sends out his generals, pushes away his military maps and sits down and writes a letter to his estate manager in mt. vernon, his plantation in virginia. with the chaos of the cannon looming, he is asking his estate manager to design a new garden, and he is talking about trees like this spring crabapple some, oaks and pines and the magna leah. what is even more remarkable than the timing which i think is quite remarkable is that he is asking only for the native species. so, at the moment, at the very moment as the young nation is threatened by the almighty british army, george washington seems to think that he should create an all-american guard and with no english trees are allowed to grow their roots in the soil. he continues this idea after the war of independence and returns to mount vernon and

after all, i have a rumor that on the 1 dollar bill is general george washington. is that not correct? i believe that is the rumor. and i have also been rumored that mauney image is on the largest denomination, the 100-dollar bill. now why have not yet to confirm this. do any of you have 8,100-dollar bill you could show me to demonstrate to show this rumor is true, is their eighth lady or a man who perhaps has a 100-dollar bill they could show the have a man in the back. perhaps i could see if indeed this is true is there a bit of eight resemblance. let me see this. welcome it appears to be true this does look awfully close. thank you very much. i just wanted to prove it's still true that a fool and his money are soon parted. all right, i will give it back. i can't use this up in the spirit world any way. so it's not relevant. indeed, of this occasion is a wonderful one because it is an opportunity to discuss something i have the greatest love for, and that is the written word. when i went to england, brought no books with me. within a year i had collected so many

debate recurve with the southern avenger and said he duly of the george washington versity called republicans look for a moment called republican organization in the district of columbia i'm sorry but mr crocus is dead we thought they'd arrest him when they found a drop in his house and they made it look like an accident but it was actually created when it was discovered that he's the host of adam vs the mail. yesterday we introduced you to the sensational new currency that is gaining momentum in a way that might just give the federal reserve system and the u.s. dollar a well run for its money because what is big big point is the first the centralized digital currency because these are digital coins you can send from the internet compared to other alternatives because we haven't this new digital currency is actually another currency but one that has a lot of advantages over the u.s. dollar and gives people a chance to opt out of the inflation tax so naturally the government wants to crack down on this because it's a threat to the currency monopoly enjoyed by the federal reserve and the excuse

i am from george washington high school. the thing i loved about it the most is that it was more convenient for me. i could do the things that i wanted to do on my own time, and whatever i did, i could do it. in pe, you were told what to do and when to do it, and if you did not like it, it did not matter. this is opening up the schedules to fill more of the requirements. we are able to get credits before both the physical education and an elective class. it is not a whole class. it is only you. you are able to focus on what you want to do, and you work and learn at your own pace. thank you.

and george washington carver you can see that's one word but the defect is machine guns in this country been trying to control since nine hundred thirty four but if you've got a thirty shot clip and a set of semiautomatic weapon you can you can do some serious damage as we saw in arizona and you can do serious damage with any kind of fire and there shouldn't be any kind of farm available to be had people but what i'm really kind of disappointed to hear you talking about is this mccarthyite stuff that says because somebody puts you want a government list are you should lose your constitutional rights i wasn't for the patriot act maybe you are but i think the patriot act was in the wrong direction wrong direction and we should be reforming the patriot act rather than looking for excuses to extend it further it was one important their part about this piece a contribution and its proponents never tell you under federal law and lots of counterpart state laws if you are what's called cricket a person then it's not only illegal for you to buy a gun it's illegal for you to even possess a gun mo

we if you look at us debt from george washington and seoul today from literally from george washington till till ronald reagan it was all pretty manageable i mean we had a spike during world war two we paid that off within a decade without cutting anything i mean you know eisenhower just threw a lot of money at highways and the g.i. bill and things and poof we grew our way out of it now we've got these republicans running around saying we've got to squeeze all this blood out of the middle class of the poor and we can't raise taxes when tax rates are at historic lows i mean lower than than even than since the great depression. what do we do about this and how do we wake people up to the fact that really it's this explosion in in wealth and in national debt all began with the reagan administration and what is the meme the thinking the thought virus that infected our nation with the reagan administration that has left us that we needed to extract or cure. well i think that they did a good job sort of selling the idea that everybody's on their own and get out there and get your own and any

i don't know if you remember george washington's inaugural address.and his other addresses whenever he accepted a position of authority. he was always hedging his bets and emphasizing his deficiencies and inadequacies and saying to people, you were the ones who elected me in case things go wrong. [laughter] but fdr realized this was no moment for washingtonian humility because if he spoke about his deficiencies, there could be mass suicide in the country at that point. the people needed confidence and hope. general jim creates a juxtaposition between the bleak atmosphere, the bleak landscape, the hopelessness, the banking crisis and fdr's serenity, it sure fullness, optimism. i think that is such a precious gift that he gave to the nation, and then be and not guerilla dress itself in which he speaks about people's interdependence and they think this is the great revolutionary transformative moment, because it is goodbye to the laissez-faire doctrine into the rugged individualism, that characterized american ideology and society for decades. now there

so did the original revolution led by george washington. it introduced a genuine democracy to the world for the first time and created a new nation dedicated to the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity. skeptical european ruling classes laugh that the americans and they also worried. they laughed because they thought the americans foolish peasants. called them farmers in america. should vote and hold office? that was simply not a reasonable 18th-century european idea. the enlightenment wanted rational government. very difficult to find and enlightenment thinker who was a genuine democrat. the idea that peasants should participate in government was not an enlightenment idea. they worry because they thought the american experiment might spread to there monarchical shores. none of the three revolutionary ideals were fully achieved immediately or completely. the struggle was a long one and at moments discouraging that the ideals born of the original revolution work indelibly set as the goals of the american democratic experiment. liberty,

vernon and takes it to george washington. and washington was not a college guy. now, webster was a yale man. madison was a princeton man, john adams, harvard. washington wasn't a conditional guy. very impressed by webster. he said that's a very interesting idea. and he is a great delegator, so he says, i'll give it to mr. maddison as soon as possible. he gives it to madson, and webster's pamphlet is instrumental in the drafting of the constitution. and in 1787, webster is at the constitutional convention -- these are moments involving into mover and shaker moments. in 1787, at the constitutional convention. as soon as washington arrives, the first thing he does is knock on webster's door. he is washington's policy -- he is not a delegate, he is there as a journalist, and the convention men realize his talents, and right after the convention they ask him to draft a pamphlet in support of the constitution. he does that, and historians have compared that pamphlet to the federalist papers papers any have been more influential because webster's pamphlet was circulated

." >> reporter: as we all know, george washington served as commander-in-chief of our nation's militaryuring the revolutionary war. in 1789 he became the very first president of the united states. at his funeral, washington was remembered as being "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." that's why it's fitting that the washington monument sits right at the heart of our national mall. the giant stone obelisk is flanked by the u.s. capitol to the east, the world war ii and lincoln memorials to the west. and just to the north is the white house. construction on the monument began in 1848, but it wasn't completed until 1884. i met bill line from the national park service and asked him about the 36-year delay. >> the reason why it took that long is because of bureaucracy. there was in-fighting. welcome to america, that's the way we do things. >> reporter: but not all of the delay was due to bureaucracy. if you look closely at the monument, you'll notice the stone changes color about a third of the way up. that's a reminder of one of the saddest events in ou

i go to george washington high school. i am a senior. i am here as a youth representing the richmond district neighborhood centers, which will be affected by cuts. i am here with my gsa members. i am the president of the alliance there. when we heard about these cuts that would affect the beacon, we were horrified. most, if not all the multicultural program there are sponsored by the beacon. so the cuts we would get from the budget would pretty much be the end of the multicultural programs. there are large schools in the richmond district that have beaten programs. there are literally thousands of students that go to these clauses that will be affected. i feel like i am screaming for help, but i have not. supervisor chu: thank you. >> hello, my name is natalie. i go to roosevelt middle school. i am involved in the beacon program. i go to the art academy three times a week. this is not an avid program that you just go in and get picked up. they let you go outside every day and teach a new things, give you books, let you go out to differen

george washington dwl n 1791 signed a bill that asked people to buy muskets and ammunition. the government can ask people to do things. it may not be right, we may not like it but that doesn't mean it's constitutional. >> rose: here's an interesting one which you talk about. you say it's stng a nation that was forged through immigration islso a tion that makes its constitutionally impossible for someone who wants... who was not physically born here to run for president >> i think it's very unreason blg. >> rose: why did they put that in there? >> what scholars say is what they were afraid of was that europeans, particularly english nobility, would come over to america some time that early period and say, hey, i should be king. and they were afraid of foreign usurpers. the tea party is right. they feared kings and as a result they made a not very powerful execive in theriginal constitution. but they did not want somebody who wasn't born here to be able to be president. they were afraid of that. that to me has changed. we're a country that is so based on immigration and so bas
