the point was to discussion griffith's innovative techniques. ... it shows you how strong popular culture can be especially, visual images. indeed, this movie captivated the american public and put in their heads lots of false images that were not countered by our schooling because of the inaccuracy of our schooling and presenting these parts of our history. to be sure, there were 23 african-american gentlemen who served in the congress and in the senate and they did so with distinction. yes, reconstruction was a good thing. it ended too early but what followed was a bad thing. that of course was the jim crow era. again, african-americans were abandoned by federal government and allowed to be virtually free enslaved by white supremacists. >> you can watch this and other programs online at the tv .org back.

nia griffith on newsnight. that was late last night. have we had a response from emily thornberry?and they insisted that there was no difference between emily thornberry and nia griffith in terms of party policy. while emily thornberry was expressing her personal view, she has many questions over the costs and viability of trident, she couldn't be clearer that this debate is over. the reality is that three weeks before a general election, and knowing that in the past, jeremy corbyn voted against the renewal in the parliamentary vote, i think voters will be left in some doubt as to what labour would do if they were in power. let's turn to the conservatives. we have this commitment that david cameron was the first to make, many years ago now, that the party would bring net migration down below 100,000, so to the tens of thousands. it's proved impossible to meet thus far. the conservatives have re—introduced it. there seems confusion among cabinet ministers about whether it's a policy commitment, a pledge, an aspiration, a nice thing to have if we can get round to it. it's not entirel
