eventually forced to retreat from new york into harlem heights. toeholde the british a on the base of the hudson river. book is set on water. of audson river was part core group of waters. if you took the hudson river to the south and lake champlain more than 300 miles to the north, you had a corridor of water that went all the way to canada. we drive around in our highways and often you see a fork positioned by a river or lake. what is the strategic importance? you couldh century, not transport people, provisions, with any kind of speed or regularity unless it was by water. the road system was not there. this corridorsed of water would be in a position to cutoff new england from the rest of the states. with the loss of new york, the british now have the toehold on this corridor of water. by september 15, with the americans evacuating from new york, there was one group of soldiers who stood between the british and taking lake champlain. that was benedict arnold. my interest in benedict arnold goes way back. it began with my mother. she was a reneg

i made sure i brought in discussion about the harlem health fighters -- harlem hell fighters. there was a gentleman named james butler who lives in maryland and fought in the war, he was given the french medal of honor, came here and did not receive any recognition. he ended up committing suicide. aboutticle was talking how he should have gotten recognition. so i set out to do something. the kids were engaged. they loved the article. we were doing class activities. and i was alright, let's go onto the next topic and the kids were like, that is it? what are we going to do about it? area, he should have a street named after him, the metal of honor, what can we do as students? to i didn't allow my lesson be open enough to be open to civic action. kristen: what did you learn and what is the lesson from other -- the lesson for other teachers to incorporate civic projects into their classrooms? lessons, number one. allow those opportunities, even if it is not something you initially planned for. make sure it is matters -- make sure it matters. no longer just write a letter to your r

the harlem river is just fascinating to this day. as you approach the hudson it's pretty ild. there treason things like that,. it's hard to believe there is a city to the south. so water was a big part of this. i think that speaks to lot of the genius of george washington because he was a plantation owner but one of the things is why is it called mount vernon? it's because his brother who served in the british navy so revered admiral vernon who he was with earlier in the century that he name to mount vernon from a british admiral, so put that in your ipe and smoke it. being a sailer i tend to see maritime everywhere, but the fact of the matter is, in the 18th century and for much of the 19th century water would determine the strategic, what was strategically important in this country. much. k you very you had mentioned that washington saw a certain part of himself in around as a younger soldier. that. i wonder if you would comment on washington's attitude after the trader incidents and in particular i believe he issued orders subsequently that if arnold was captured as part of

in germany's capital there is a barber like no other sort of put it to the harlem valmai market goes from prostitutes. but as his city changes he's moving with the times. and going on the road. the stories we don't often hear told by the people who live there. the master barber of berlin this is on al-jazeera. for the last 2 years the students have been collecting rubbish every day it's helped clean up the campus and helped build some of its facilities for every 2 kilo's of plastic waste they collect this school receives a brick made of plastic and cement. for some activists this may not be the most ecological way to eliminate the problems of plastic but this is seen as an immediate solution to the growing problems of landfills across the country waste can now be used to manufacture building materials. on the legacy of south africa's a n c s the oil made the recording all these what is the power how does gold take us how i build a team and how perceptions have changed over this former liberation movement turned government you think is appropriate for a man who went to prison for devo

got another slap in the face tonight he tried to get approval for snap elections in december that harlem and said no so what did you do get them said no and that's the 3rd time make nothing allowed election he said once because under a particular role in the u.k. there has to be a 2 thirds majority of m.p. supporting it and he was no way near that so tomorrow he is going to introduce a one line election bill saying that he wants a selection a snap election on the 12th of december and that only needs to be a simple majority now it looks like at the moment that 2 on the opposition parties the liberal democrats in the scottish national scottish nationalists would like there to be an election but on their terms and then happy to support it they want to. election they want to run the 9th of december so that they can make sure students are voting as well because universities break up for christmas they want to make sure that boris johnson takes a no deal breck's it off the table and they want him to promise that he will not bring back his deal now will he do that we don't know meanwhile we're

i love the show. >> it is god father of harlem on epix.e, it is monday october 7th and we're following two major stories. first the impeachment investigation intensifying and breaking news of a major foreign policy move overnight. let's start with impeachment and a second whistle-blower that has now come forward. this person could put a whole new spin on the impeachment proceedings. their lawyer says they have firsthand knowledge of that july 25th phone call between president trump and the president of ukraine. why is it so important in it matters because president trump and his allies have repeated the whistle-blower complain arguing it was based on hearsay. if the second whistle-blower corroborates the first, his case could be harder to make. and we could get more details on where the call fits into the bigger picture. two diplomats are expected to speak with u.s. lawmakers this week. plus with subpoenas in place we are waiting to see if anyone is actually going to hand anything over. i have to get to the nbc team covering this first, th

schools, majority of young people learn about the most basic things pertaining to slavery, perhaps the harlemenaissance and the civil rights movement. i would argue that it is slavery and the civil rights periods that shaped most people's views of history in school. people get caught sometimes into the paradigm of thinking about black history from the "deficit model," or looking at black history through the lens of massive amounts of oppression. certainly, the black experience is dominated with notions of oppression through the civil rights movement, but one has to strike a delicate balance between seams of victimization -- themes of victimization and perseverance and survival on the other hand. in my most recent book, " reclaiming the black past," i argue that most americans' perceptions of african-american history are based on how they are presented through vehicles in popular culture. ofy americans' perceptions episodes, events, personalities from the past are largely shaped by hollywood films. sometimes by documentaries, but primarily hollywood films. i don't want to be too anecdotal, but

volatile situation a lot of painting here we're seeing now several 100 indigenous people marching in harlem 7 holding tanks and marching towards the nationalists and as i speak. it's not quite sure what's going to happen but the most likely thing is that the police and the army will try to prevent them from advancing and how this is going to get or should or we believe it's going to get very very violent indeed as it has been over the last few days. hundreds of climate change activists are camped out in central london during a 2nd day of worldwide protests aimed at disrupting major cities the extinction rebellion demonstrators plan to protest in the british capital for 2 weeks demanding urgent government action to counter global warming but he's arrested moved the 150 people so far toward home at a leading member of the movement or to run on shortly after he was released from jail. you spent an uncomfortable night in the cells having been arrested in the face of what seems to be stepped up police response what's morale like in the organization now i think it's really high actually i mean i
