dred and harriet scott return to st. louis, they had two children, both daughters. after a time, dr. emerson passed away. mrs. emerson was asked by the scotts whether they might be able to purchase their freedom from her. it was something, especially in urban slavery that wasn't that unusual. she refused. she was not interested in selling the scott family. so they decided based on the fact that they were still being held as slaves and held in bondage to sue for their freedom. they entered this courthouse in 1846. each one had their own petition. it wasn't just dred, it was dred and harriet. the case came to trial here in this building in 1847. there was hearsay evidence introduced. it was a mistrial. they lost the first trial and they asked for another trial, which the judge granted. they were able to present the evidence successfully and the jury of all white male, 12 white males, probably some of them slave owners decided that dred and harriet scott should be free. the verdict that was rendered was to give them their freedom. mrs. emerson didn't agree and she appe

patsy, andiza, harriet shaw.n the is some merit it inclusion of the stories in any realistic film about slavery. most girls and women, after all, where sexually harassed and abused. but this abuse did not define their lives. this point is one mcqueen fails to make, for he offers no additional images of bonds norn's lives, multidimensional views of the concubines. oftenup realized they succeeded in having a life beyond the lash and their masters and mistresses. solomon emphasized their ability to experience joy inside the myriad forms of abuse they suffered, and resistance strategies. why doesn't mcqueen? thank you. [applause] >> thank you so much. now we have a little time, i think, if you all would like to discuss amongst yourselves or respond to elements of each other's comments? >> i didn't like "lincoln the vampire slayer," because while it does suggest slaveholders are bloodsucking, it also only portrays slaves as vampire meat. there's nothing else they do. they are just kind of goofy and hang around and don

we see that in harriet jacob's staff. we get a sense of a very different experience.how about -- go ahead. >> in the reading, i forget if it's harry jacobs or james stuart but when the girl was raped every day and she said she couldn't tell her grandmother because she would be looked down upon. that really surprised me. later on in t reading she said her grandmother suspected it when she became -- when she was maturing she knew something would happen to her from the master so they surprised me when she was actually pregnant from being raped, she, you know, the grandmother looked down upon her. it kind of confused me because since the grandmother expected it because she knew this was sadly the norm and the fact that she still -- i don't know, it just really surprised me. >> this is harriet jacob's story, "diary of a slave girl." this gets into the complexities of african slavery in the south and how to deal with these assaults by whites on blacks. >> mary chestnut's diary brings up the possibility about slavery that slavery isn't such a good thing, right? calls it a mo

the underground railroad represented harriet tubman. harriet tubman was given tremendous praise for being that pioneer who basically lived her life to free the slaves. what is also overlooked is that those free houses that those people put up for the slaves to stay at and to hide them and to get them up to the north and get them to canada were regular people, regular people. nothing special. but the commonality was that they were good human beings. when we talk, the three of us, and i want to emphasize this. we always talk about the category of good human beings before we talk about white, black, whatever. and that becomes important in being a man because if i have a charity in my soul or the wisdom to recognize goodness in people, then i'm a man, a man of god, a man of trying to do the right thing. therefore, nothing you can do or say to me will change my attitude about my manhood. over the years, the biggest problem that we have had in this country is whenever you stand up for the right thing, even though it's for the overall populous

but before a millionaire, there was a woman named harriet and she was born in a michigan farm moved to san francisco she tended to lie about her age a little. she became an actress in a room with a woman named linda. she wrote articles on becerra bernhard and the chinese ambassador that came to america with bound feet and all of these splashing articles many of them in the san francisco call. she moved to new york to become the weekly which is a very popular weekly magazine at the time. the actor's name is florence griffith and eventually they moved to new york and his career isn't taking off at all so he decides to go into production and do a thing called a film that she hated florence which i think is a perfectly nice name and decided and told him that instead she should use his initials. so dw griffith has been making short films on wrongdoing: island and is an actress if you look on imdb she's writing screenplays for these. for the weekly she controls her editor into paying for flying lessons at the belmont park. she becomes the first woman to fly across the english channel and dev
