teaching georgia history. founded in 1839, the society is the oldest continuously operated historical institution in the south, and one of the oldest in the nation. for the past 175 years the georgia historical society has helped georgians through education and research to study the past, in order to make sense of the present, and create a better future for us all. as a public history institution, the georgia historical society serves as the bridge between the academic community, and the people of our state, taking the cutting edge historical research being produced in universities around the nation, and connecting it with the general public, thereby creating and expanding access to history. one of the most significant ways in which we make scholarly history available to a wide audience is through the georgia historical marker program. since the program was privatized in 1998, the georgia historical society has placed over 200 markers across the state. these markers provide an executive summary based on sound

georgia. they discovered -- george washington had is the up a treaty with the cherokees in the south to try to teach them, and he sent missionaries throughout the south to teach them to become farmers and to live like americans. and they agreed. and so their lands in the south, some of them were absolutely flour you shoulding plantations. -- flourishing plantations. and then someone discovered some gold, gold flakes. georgia's legislature seized all the lands dissolved the cherokee nation, declared cherokee laws invalid and sent 150,000 native americans into exile. and they traveled along trawl of tears, it's called, across the mississippi river eventually settling in oklahoma. 60,000 died along the way. it's the worst case of genocide imaginable in history at that time. the inquisition only cost 10,000 lives, spanish inquisition. the french revolution with all the butchery and the guillotines, only about 2500 3000 lives. the highest estimate's 5000. 60,000 native americans died of starvation

and that we are saddened by the direction georgia has gone. >> reporter: georgia has the most stringenttandard to prove intellectual disability. warren hill's lawyers would have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he was mentally disabled. the state said hill's lawyers failed to meet the burden of proof. >> the reality is that georgia is one of a few states holding on tightly to the death penalty. last year there were 35 executions in the whole nation from seven states which is the lowest number that we have seen in 20 years. >> minutes after the execution ryan cam ever warren hill's attorney told al jazeera he no longer has faith in the u.s. justice system and in his words the constitution is a paper tiger. >> brian kamha joins us on the telephone. what do you mean the constitution is a paper tiger? >> well the constitution prohibits - supposedly prohibited the execution of people with intellectual disability. in georgia it has no effect apparently, because - you know it's not just some doctors who thought that warren hill was intellectually disabled every doctor that evaluated him f

we're seeing home values recover and georgia families rebuild their savings. and georgia has been named the no. 1 place in the nation in which to do business by several major rating agencies and has repeated that designation by one of them already. in short, i'm here to report to you today that the state of our state is strong, and getting stronger every day. [applause] but for every milestone we reach, for every victory we attain, for every improvement we achieve, new challenges await. certainly, there are those who focus only on the negative, zeroed in on areas where we should do better. they downplay any progress as “not good enough.” to them i say: celebrating our progress puts our challenges in perspective and reminds us that together we can achieve greatness. our shortcomings don't go unacknowledged. they're simply what we're going to address next. when focused only on the negative, the job before us can seem overwhelming. these feelings are not new to our generation. atop president kennedy's desk sat a fisherman's prayer: “oh, god, thy sea is so great a

there was one black doctor in southwest georgia and bainbridge near lincoln where we lived. so i from age five wanted to be like dr. griffin. he's very successful highly respected in the community. people really thought that he was a great citizen but to me he was a magician. he could make people well. i decided that was what i wanted to do. so that is what i decided to do. i love science and will working with people so being a doctor combines both of us very well. >> host: southwest georgia and eric you were growing up what were some of the race considerations? >> guest: they were very difficult. my father was an activist and he started a chapter 4 the naacp in 1937. my mother was a schoolteacher. as a result of my father's activism the 20 years they lived there my mother never got a job in blakely teaching school. she had to drive 20 or 30 miles away to other towns where she worked as a teacher. but in addition to founding the naacp chapter she works to really against the white primary that excluded blacks from participating and established an emancipation day celebration

that is what the law is in georgia. the irony is the fact that normal was the first state in the united states to have a look at intellectual disability even as an issue with the death penalty. as you can hear some of the people singing to try to save his life doing whatever they can here tonight. but warren hill will be put to death by lethal injection in the next 30 minutes if the united states supreme court does not step in. >> robert ray for us in atlanta. thank you. >>> blizzard warnings are posted for the city of boston. a major storms has dumped two feet of snow and. >> one of the remarkable aspects of this storm was the lack of really a lot of crucialties. we haven't reported any to speak of here in massachusetts. that can be accounted for in large measure because of what you see here. the lack almost complete lack of road traffic because of the mandatory bans. that'sthat's a controversial thing when a couple of years ago they imposed that ban. but today we're not hearing anybody complain about that. the results

the reason is georgia is full of food. there is not starvation in georgia. there are southern troops that are not getting enough food. that has to do with the complete and total mismanagement of the army. it has a lot to do with jefferson davis's utter incompetence as president of the confederacy. it is not the lack of food in the south. it is a question of how you get food from north carolina and georgia and mississippi to be -- the troops. but wirz is in south georgia where food is available. food could have been commandeered. food could have been bought. the local women who simply wanted to bring fresh vegetables to the starving prisoners in andersonville could have been allowed to bring the food, or they could have brought them to the camp and the camp could have brought -- camp officers and soldiers could have brought them to the prisoners. freshwater could have been obtained in a variety of ways, one of which was to order the troops upstream to stop using this creek as a latrine. the other thing would have been to take a detail of prisoners every day a

latino voters made a difference in georgia. latino voters made a difference in kansas. there's a growing latino operation in iowa and arkansas. as the population is really on the move. the second thing as they are politically dynamic. we look at the two-thirds to three-quarters of the vote the democrats getting among latinos and we say it's not particularly politically interesting but we don't have to go far just 2004 when george w. bush got 40% of the latino vote. the movement from 40% republican to 25% republican and two elections that's movement we don't get in any other population nics with the possible exception of asian. >> host: the other word he uses transform. >> guest: so i think the presence of latinos in the political structure has the opportunity to change the political dynamic in a variety of locations. if you look at some of the southern southern states like georgia where latinos are moving in what has long been at black white racial paradigm in politics and society is becoming a multiracial paradigm and that is changing coalitions. you are getting these

this is a genuine georgia gavel. i am the first georgia speaker in over 100 years. the last, by the way, had a weird accent, too. his parents were northern actors. they came to the u.s.. and secondly, this is a gavel that speaker martin years. -- speaker martin used. this is the gavel used by the last republican speaker. i want to comment for a minute on two men who served as my leaders and from whom i learned so much. when i arrived as a freshman and the republican party, deeply dispirited by watergate and the loss of the presidency, banded together and worked with a leader who helped save the way for our great party the tree of 1980, and the man who just did a marvelous job and i can't speak more to what i have learned from serving with him in my freshman term and he is with us today. please recognize congressman john rhodes of arizona.

you were in court in savannah georgia and the history that georgia has in the debtor's prison and the debtor's idea of free institution and you actually talk to some of these people. >> guest: interesting. originally georgia was conceived as a utopia to rehabilitate debtors that would come from a debtor's prison in england income to the new world and get a fresh start and get out of the chains of debt and rebuild their lives. it was this upbeat optimistic view of reinvention but they irony is that that is really not the case in america these days. you hear a lot about how americans file for bankruptcy and get out of their debts but there are lots of people who just have horrible credit ratings and pay higher rates on all kinds of loans they take out. they are having their wages garnished in their checking accounts cleared out. it's quite a contrast to this utopian vision that originally founded in the state of georgia. the other part of the question which is about going to court and there's a funny thing that happened to me which was that i wanted to see what this process was like. i
