many of them like harriet tubman, frederick douglas, once they achieved it, they would return and they would tell those who they had left in bondage, you can be free. but do you know what happened when they returned, telling the others about their freedom? many times those who had that slave mentality and a plantation way of thinking, they would tell the overseers that they had troublemakers in their midst. my friend herman cain was called a bad apple by harry belafonte. and i tell you today that that type of thinking is exactly what the progressive left wants to keep a certain group of people believing. that people like myself, people like herman, if you place that bad apple in the barrel with the rest of them, they are going to spoil those who we have already in the barrel. and americans, i say to you that as one who was a part of that system, one who ran away from that system and found freedom for myself as i now return to tell others that you can be free. the same thing happens to me as did to them 150 years ago. but except the dogs that are sicced on them now and the overseers tha

harriet hunt wrote to dr. holmes to ask permission to attend medical lectures, he supported this but the harvard corporation denied the request. in 1850, hunt applied again, she too was stubborn. this time, the male medical students protested her admission, along with that of three male african americans. during world war oi, there was shortage of physicians and a plan emerged for women to study medicine at radcliffe, but it was not realized. a later plan allowed women to study at the harvard school for radcliffe ph.d. in medical sciences. the first admission came in 1945, granting the first mds in 1949. the medical school was distinctidi distinctive in one record, it appointed a professor position. at the harvard law school, petitions by women to enter began as early as 1871 and continued. their numbers included inez, a graduate. in 1915, 15 women petitioned and were denied. in a letter to harvard president litman, he said harvard is one of the few institutions for men alone and in our opinion had better rema

samuel green had heard of canada and the underground railroad from harriet tubman. susan brooke fled norfolk in 1884 six months after her son arrived in canada. there were numerous requests from run aways in canada to william still of the philadelphia vigilance committee asking him to contact family members left behind to arrange their departure. samuel mills who took the name robert king after he escaped from somerset county maryland wrote still asking him to contact his wife living in baltimore to let her know where he was and to encourage her to leave. our man madden, that i talked about who owned that inn in virginia, his son, who was a minister occasionally returned to the area to visit his kin and prayer meetings. he also exchanged letters and intelligence on behalf of run aways and their loved ones. in spite of warnings from still, john henry hill who wrote frequently to family and friends in petersburg, virginia arranging for their escape. hill was a 26-year-old carpenter who escaped from richmond in january 1853. he was hidden by a friend of his mother for

accomplishments, but they would recognize the name very much as they would recognize the name of harriet tubman. so i think that in many ways he had been recognized. again, they might not know all the details associated with him. >> to come on up to the side here. >> i would like to add a very small part and attempt to add to your question. >> please. >> one of the unfortunate problems in terms of history is that we don't have visual identification of us as a people in most cases. so in our school systems, there are no visual imagery of the great robert smalls. and if you don't have visual imagery in your schools and in your churches, then our children, the generations of children are just not going to be familiar with the facial imagery. now we speak about the literal nature of robert smalls. and indeed, he did not write much. but when you look at your church bibles, one of the most interesting aspects of a church bible, it certainly was when i was a child, was the paintings in the bible that illustrated the stories. so if you don't have visual imagery of african-americans also in the c
