i'm sorry, georgetown right there on opposite sides. they learned it and then came to georgetown. when they came to georgetown, a woman apparentlygh fled to save the house occupied by an older womanbl and she was able to save the house next door. she lived. there are records of the house and 181855, the first record of the company so no contemporary account of it happening. again, did this happen? we have to ask that question but first, there were structures she supposedly saved so that's interesting. also as we learn from mattila in a couple of stories of him and backing off especially in good come so it doesn't seem out of character for him because there seems to be this pattern of behavior. it is believed to this story. so following these three events, bridge continued 1813 and in queenstown the british they left cameng back in 1814 and it was different. when they came back, napoleon had been defeated so finding friends, it was now over. soldiers were coming to america in one of the primary targets was that reach so one of the things they do in april, charge of the north americ

they first went to fredericktown and burned it and then came to georgetown. and when they came to georgetown a woman by the name of catherine kitty knight apparently pled with coburn to save one house that was occupied by an older alien woman and also the house turned out she was able to save the house next door that she was renting that she had lived it. so there are records of kitty buying the house that she had been rented and then in 19 in 1836 and then 1855 when she died her obituaries actually the first record of this happening. um, so there was no contender there was no contemporary accounts of it happening during the battle again. did this happen? you know, we're you know, you have to ask that question. but okay, so first those two structures that she's supposedly saved still stand. so that's that's good, too. that's interesting to know they both stand and they actually have been combined into an in a restaurant that bears her name and also coburn as we kind of learned from matilda and also, he's there's a couple stories of him throughout throughout t

they were freed in the georgetown section and, the only house on the georgetown is still in use today. and that's called brickyard hill house. and still occupied today. and georgetown. i'm doing research now to find out. i know that the owner of the house was a peter von essen and i know he owned market there by trying to find out how he utilized and where he got his slaves from. i don't know whether they were from a market or whether they were free people. so that's what i'm doing the research on that they buried in famed mount zion cemetery that's in georgetown. oh through rock creek part of it overlook rock creek park. they are buried there. my third grade, my second grade, plus my grandmother all three of them were buried in mount zion cemetery, which is now being a lot of research has been done on it. every and we found a couple stones of our uncle, but we haven't found any the other but that quite a quiet around of all in book there are many stories on all the different battles that are my great grandfather for so when you're reading a book i'm trying to read railroad the book f

andd then came to georgetown.n it came to georgetown a woman by the name of kathryn apparently fled to save one house that was occupied by older family woman that turns out she was able to save the house next door that she was renting. there are records of buying the house she had been renting. 1836 in the 55 went to guide her obituary is the first record of this happening. there's no contemporary account of it happening during the battle. good did this happen? we have to askur the question through the two structures she supposedly saves still stand. they have been combined to an inn and restaurant they are serving. it also is a couple stories of him hearing these please and backing off. listening to when women would come and ask him to stop. does not seem crazy who seems to be a pattern in his behavior to do that. this is truth to the story. so following these three events the british continue doing raids in chesapeake during 1813. mentioned earlier twice unsuccessful. also attacked queenstown and queen anne's co

they first went the fredricktown and then georgetown. a woman by the name of katherine tried to w save one house occupd by an older woman. the house just turned out she was able to save the house next door. theyen bought the house that was rented.. in 1855 when she died her there was the first record of this happening no accounts during the battle. again, we ask that question but, okay, first, those two structures she supposedly saved. so, that's interesting to know. they have been combined into a restaurant that bares her name. also, as we learned from matilda several stories of him throughout of him hearing the pleasis backing off and listenig when women would come and ask him to stop. it doesn't seem out of character for him. it seems to be a pattern in his behavior to do that. there. is truth to the story. so, following these 3 events the edbritish continued to do raidsn chesapeake in 1813. i mentioned this earlier twice. they attacked queen ann county. the british, in the wintertime left the chesapeake and came back in 1814 and it w

the district of columbia would come to include georgetown, alexandria and washington city. he is from this sort of old money family in georgetown and then also, on some plantations out in maryland. that seems to be a very happy marriage. they are getting married fairly young. have a large family and children and seem to be very happy together. the next to getarried is eliza. her nickname changes. she seems to be courting this man named thomas savor the. nobody in the family knows about it and there shocked when she announces the engagement. it is at this point that she knew she was about to get engaged and a lot of the advice that he gives basically says don't marry someone a lot older than you. thomas law was 20 years older. he had been a government agent in india for the bears government. he had several children by an indian woman who we don't really know a lot about or what their relationship was but he brought those mixed race children to the united states with him. washington is also saying you want to make sure you are marrying somebody where you have congenial temper

i can tell you that when sandra sellers, lecturer at the georgetown law center in a negotiation coursemmented on a live mic to a colleague that she lamented that, disproportionately, the students who were doing poorly in her class were black and she wished it weren't so, and "woe is me," that the -- the revelation of that conversation caused a firestorm at georgetown law center, and the institution was accused of racism. "how dare professors talk that way about their students." and this is the point. this illustrates the point that i'm making about dignity. you can shut people up by telling them they can't talk about something like what she was talking about, by telling them that it's racist to think that way. but you don't change the facts on the ground, and everybody actually knows the facts on the ground, even if they're not prepared to discuss them publicly. you can't have a hyper-ultra-elite and competitive venue use different criteria for selecting black students and others into that venue and expect that there won't be differences in their performance after this selection. that'

she's now a professor at georgetown university.gela, you heard the secretary of state say cracks in the faÇade. is it possible to know how deep the cracks go? >> it is difficult. there is a lot we do not know about what happened yesterday and it could just be the first act of a much longer drama but clearly the fact that the troops were able to get within 200 km of moscow, and they were welcomed and cheered, does raise serious questions about the security services in russia, the military, and putin's own future. he certainly looks weaker emerging from this but there is a lot we don't know. let's wait and see where and when he shows up again. will it be belarus? we have to see. john: you talk about the progress he made while advancing on moscow. was there a carrot or stick that made him stop? >> again, we do not know a lot but it is possible he thought there would be more support for him from some of the top people in moscow and it is possible that it became clear that that wasn't so, they could rethink what they were doing because

pastor, you just gave a gajuation address, i think, at georgetown, when you said how wonderful to be in a land where dissent is possible. tell us about the context about that, the story of your remarkable arrest and oppression and fighting back in zimbabwe and what it can teach our audience. >> thank you. it's a huge honor to be here with you and speak about this very important aspect of the u.s. constitution, but really what citizens of many countries are longing for and for many of us go without, the ability to speak prixly and to challenge the status quo, especially the status quo as set by the government of the day. so i'm from zimbabwe. i began the citizens movement pretty much by accident. zimbabwe has been through multiple collapses, economically and socially. to give you a good example, in 2008, our economy crashed so badly that we ended up with a $100 trillion note as the largest bank note. at the height of inflation, which was 286 million percent that $100 trillion note was not enough to buy a loaf of bread. that is a country that ended up in that situation because people i

i was working in senator hatfield's office on the hill and living in georgetown with old family friends. my aunt was settling into her new role in washington and trying to move beyond the near loss of her husband in late march. i was young game for anything and i think as all nieces and nephews are a good distraction. during my first week. she invited me over for dinner twice and asked me to accompany her on a trip to the ingles shipyard in mississippi to christen the uss, ticonderoga. little did i know these outings would find their way to the metro section of the post and as such there was no more hiding from my coworkers and senator hadfield's office who i was related to. five years later on christmas night at the white house my husband of 35 years asked me to marry him. nancy the hopeless romantic could not have been happier that this occurred under her roof. nancy reagan brought grace and honor to her role as the first lady. she was fiercely loyal to her husband and her country. always placing them first. making the white house a home americans and her husband could be proud of was

but she was so precocious that when she went to georgetown, she was only there, i can only find it forouple years, she might have gone longer but the first year she went there were records that showed that she got high marks, she got prizes for reading and spelling, geography, she told an interviewer late in life that as a child, she loved playing with a glow but. i was always planning journeys, she said. so this was something that interested her, this idea of the world from a very young age but you can see in many of these letters i have referred to that she is witty and she had a tendency to dramatize things and to exaggerate things, but i think she must've been fun to hang out with because she seemed to have friends everywhere she went. that was the thing about her, she had friends in high places and she would be off traveling under what we would consider extraordinarily primitive conditions. she had this ability to ease her way between different worlds. she seems to have been a very likable person. there was a moving letter where her friends are saying i can't believe that we have
