harriet tubman, harriet tubman. dr. carson and his wife are standing behind. ok, ok. i remembered it was a woman's conference at our wonderful white house. before the women lead our wonderful leader said, i bet you don't know -- i bet you don't know who led the first armed raid into enemy territory. one of our very own, harriet tubman. i was like, ok, all right. we had the signing of the suffrage coin happen. i was not able to make that. but tubman was referenced again. there is incongruous -- these platitudes about tubman. and then she should not be on paper money. i believe in prayer. i also believe in action. and, the first week of the impeachment inquiry in the house, the hearings were scheduled on wednesday and on friday. on that thursday, you were there with me, the house decided to have a screening of the film " at the capital in the evening. which was wonderful. steny hoyer got up and spoke. then kevin mccarthy got up and spoke. he said, i want everyone to know there is bipartisan support for harriet tubman to be on the currency. part of our job collectively i

harriet tubman --harriet tubman west dylan's --harriet tubman was still enslaved in maryland. -- as well as with african wreck in women's clubs like the national association of colored women. storyering her amazing from enslaved to free, and the racial divide within the 's stance onbman women's suffrage and how did she articulate her position? karen: that is a great question and good evening everybody. glad to be here. let me tell you a little bit about tubman first. i think it is easier to kind of back into where she stood on the question of suffrage. it is complicated history. how many if you have seen the movie "harriet"? a good number of people. had thisharriet tubman innate ability to see far beyond her circumstance. far beyond. values.seven core family,reedom, justice,, social self-determination and equality. those were her touchstones. enslaved ine was maryland. for those of you who saw the movie, you know the power of faith. her faith guided her walk, her steps. that is what led her to her freedom journey for herself and principally her family and friends. about 70 people from th

first starting with harriet tubman. she crossed the mason-dixon line into pennsylvania after her arduous journey alone. accomplished with courage and skill she later admitted , "when i finally crossed the line i looked at my hands to see if i was the same person. there was such a glory over everything. the sun came up gold through the trees and over the fields. i felt like i was in heaven. and she continued her freedom was not without apprehension she finished by saying i had crossed the line i was free. but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. i was a stranger in a strange land. and then the concept of her technique that she used how harriet tubman used to guide her slaves took advantage of the estuaries and creeks and tidal marshes these natural features hope to provide cover for small bands of runaways to freedom tubman made use of the natural features and primarily at night relied on the stars and reported she could tell time by the stars and find her way by natural science as well as any hunter. a

harriet Ãb whatever his first Ãcalvin e stowe, you are harriet beecher stowe.ncouraged her to use that as her signature, which she did. he was very supportive along the way. julia warad howe's husband was a tyrant. i can't explain any other way. he was no help at all. he was 100s. he was very resentful of her and tried to block her every chance he had. she got no help there from an email. clara barton never married but was very good at making contacts and using those contacts. i mentioned one, henry wilson, senator, she also worked with local congressman from massachusetts so she tapped into that and she had a good rapport with them. they helped her a lot but on the whole, she was on her own. she won people over like rubber, a cantankerous old aim army guy he basically just wanted to blow her off. she was so persistent and had these three warehouses full of things it was hard to argue with. he came around eventually. sarah josepha hale was widowed at age 39, never married again. the only person i could say that helped her was the man who eventually bought her b

harriet, i don't know if you had a chance to see i.inister did, but the main headline is helpful that has become one of the critical issues. how on earth self—employed people may have been able to as a survival £91; a week if they lost theirjob. absolutely and it affecting around 5 million people in the uk. last week, the chancellor richie sunak outlined a huge package of measures to help workers who receive their monthly salary —— richie sunak they were facing losing their dogs because —— job because of their dogs because —— job because of the virus and it's come with criticism that the self—employed have not been able to benefit from those same measures so far. the government is working to do this but people are losing theirjobs as we speak. many have already lost their jobs so those measures can't be, any sooner. we know the chancellor will outline these measures tomorrow at the daily press conference. we don't know any of the detail and there's a few mix reports in the papers as to quite how many people who are self—employed who wi

harriet, what did you make a? absolutely.t of thing you would imagine the queen would have, very retro, very old school. you can't normally see the front so you don't know whether it's one of those what you put your fingers with awe in and we re put your fingers with awe in and were let round or rather she has buttons. the queen having her weekly audience via the telephone with the prime minister. they will have wa nted prime minister. they will have wanted this out there on the front pages to show that the queen is in good health after her son, prince charles announced today he has contracted coronavirus, although we are told he is also in good health. hejust has mild are told he is also in good health. he just has mild symptoms and is still working from home. it has not gone down too badly but there are of course fears because he's in his 70s but that also the queen who was in her 90s and if she was to contracted, it would be in that high risk category. laura, i assume there isa risk category. laura, i assume there is a mic

harriet, we're going to move to the times 110w. we're going to move to the times now.e front page, they run an photo of the queen and the rents on march nine. when they were at mount westminster abbey. they are following the story closely. 3.5 million to be ordered. it's good to see the word hope on the front page. what is your analysis of the story? a few of the paper is clutching at this story. there is something on the horizon. the antibody test which could be rolled out within weeks or be bought on line from places like amazon. an antibody test is something the prime minister said would be a total game—changer because not only would it enable individuals to know whether or not they have had coronavirus, and there area they have had coronavirus, and there are a lot of reports that there might well have been a lot of people having had it without displaying symptoms, those individuals would then be able to return to work, go about their daily business in the economy would be able to get going a bit more quickly than it otherwise would but for wider society, for the go

i said that we often think of dred scott's case as one man, dred scott, but harriet scott, dred scott's spouse, filed her freedom suit at exactly the same time. she had been taken to fort snelling in wisconsin territory, and she had been sold or transferred to dr. emerson, who enslaved dred scott, think about that for a second, she was sold effectively in a free territory, so if slavery is not legal, under american law in the territory of wisconsin, how is it that harriet scott could be sold there? not just taken there, but sold. right? their daughter eliza was born on a steamer, up the mississippi river, above the 36/30 line. okay? their other daughter lizzy was born in missouri, upon their return. so dred scott v john sanford is not just about dred scott. it's about harriet and dred and eliza and lizzy, it's about a family who in various ways have different claims to freedom, right? i mean eliza is born in a free territory, and lizzy is born upon return to parents who have been effectively under law presumably possibly freed in their residence in a free territory. so first and foremos

i recently watched the movie "harriet" and highly recommend it to my colleagues, but harriet tubman didn't stop her fight for freedom and equality after the civil war ended. she took up the cause of women's suffrage and worked tirelessly until she was 90 years old to help women get the right to vote. we celebrate her life today because she spent a lifetime bending the arc of our moral universe toward justice. the best way we can honor her and the countless others who have risked their lives for our country and our democracy is to continue the work of improving our democracy so that it works better for the next generation. that is what the for the people act is all about. i urge my republican colleagues, i implore them, for a group of people that i know believe in freedom, that they allow us to have this bill come up for a vote, to ensure that people have the cherished freedom to vote. thank you, madam president. i yield the floor. mr. bennet: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from colorado. mr. bennet: i appreciate the opportunity to talk about this bill. i want to thank

enslaved people, men like frederick douglass and henry box brown, women like sojourner truth and harrieterience with slavery. they knew personally, intimately, what its evils were and what that felt like. and by telling what their lives under slavery had been like, they brought a kind of authenticity, a kind of moral energy to their lectures. that people like garrison couldn't possibly offer. garrison only knew slavery from a distance, and he's white. he couldn't speak to slavery like frederick douglass could. a second weapon of the abolitionis abolitionists, and arguably, their most important, was literature. abolitionists flood the streets and the mails with a massive outpouring of pamphlets, leaflets, newspapers, sermons, broadsides. in 1835 alone, abolitionists sent more than 1 million pieces of mail through the postal system. and what's in this abolitionist literature are calls for slaveholders to repent, to free their slaves. it's calling on nonslaveholders to join the abolitionist movement. and the literature is filled with condemnations of slavery itself as immoral, as unjust. it

was when moment when all the things that felt incompetent about the bush presidency, the appoint of harriet meyers to the supreme court. i lived it, i can go through the whole list. was realized. we gave them a proof point we were incompetent and people died. this has the making structurally -- >> if there was every moment to shake that 40%, anyone to allow him to shoot someone down fifth -- because it's old people and young people. it's your nana. so, it seems to me this is an event -- >> a history of not telling the truth and surrounding himself with true trump loyalists. first lady melania trump yesterday, do you know what she tweeted about? plans for the tennis pavilion at the white house. can't make it up. who thought that was a good idea? >> it's the scientists. >> scientists ad here to the facts. and previous presidents would go here's our grand vision. let me turn it over to the head of the cdc. he has to be the bride at the wedding and the corpse at the funeral and the guy making decisions about what the disease is. that's crazy. >> katrina and no adults. katrina was ultimately sur

this is a related tweet from harriet, who says what early containment and quarantine and states like washington have been beneficial? in terms of the point your caller was making, i agree that we need more testing the possibility of having a rapid test would be a great improvement. people have to wait three to five days for test results. .hat can be confusing you should assume, if you have flulike symptoms, that you could have the coronavirus. take the appropriate steps. if you are feeling sick, call your physician. stay-at-home. if weuld not be acting as take a different approach to exposing people if we have seasonal flu versus the coronavirus. assuming any infectious disease should be taken seriously, we should take measures to contain it. whatuld be good to know those numbers are in the country and hopefully we will have a better sense of that as testing increases and becomes more available. guest: this is -- host: this is the new york times map. the coronavirus impacting all 50 states and spreading quickly in metropolitan areas including cleveland, miami, new orleans. is next. c

instead of spending their final few months before graduation in australia, harriet and elizabeth aree at oxford's john radcliffe hospital. when patients come in the front door, we will direct them to the correct part of the department. and that's reallyjust making sure that patients who might have covid—19 are not coming into contact with those who don't have any symptoms. what is it like for you both on a personal level? we've just been kind of thrown into doing it all. and we've all been handling it. and it's great to use the skills that we've developed over the past six years. getting personal protective equipment out is still a top priority for both medical staff and those in social care settings, like this care home in dorset. how are we supposed to keep the two metre rule? we can't. i mean, we're doing personal care, we are talking to people that need us to be close because they can't hear. testing for front line nhs staff with covid—19 symptoms also began over the weekend, so those self isolating as a precaution can get back to work. in spain, 12,000 health workers have had th

this is from harriet.meone doesn't get a test, has a mild case and recovers without hospitalization, is there an after the fact test to confirm their immunity? >> yes, well, that's the idea ultimately. these tests do exist in some parts of the world. they're called either antibody tests or serology tests. the premise is simple, once you're infected, the body reacts in a certain way and makes antibodies. it doesn't mean everyone should get this test, but they're going to do some testing to try to figure out how long people have these antibodies because that will give some idea of how long they're sort of protected against the virus the next time they see it. >> why don't we have that in is u.s.? >> look, we're so far behind, alisyn, just on testing for the virus, so the idea of getting ahead on surveillance like this is something that we should be doing and we're just not there yet. >> okay. next, this comes from john. i understand the 1918 pandemic that went around the world three times, that's the spanish

on the right is harriet tub hymnal book, -- not the bible. it had been kept very carefully under someone's bed waiting for the right moment. it could have gone to many other institutions. this is also the significance of having a home on the national mall. the smithsonian as a treasure house of americana or a lens on our national identity , as powerful as that is, offers only a very limited portrait of the scope of the place. so, there are many, many museums -- i mentioned 19 national history, sculpture, art, air and space, native american culture, in new york and in washington. african art, american art, design. the cooper-hewitt in new york is on the bottom there. and, the national zoo which got its start behind the castle building, trying to preserve the american buffalo from going extinct. but, there is much, much more than these museums that we know. there are nearly a dozen research centers, and the kind of work that is going on behind the scenes is really extraordinary. a tropical research institute in panama, which goes back more than

liberal or integrationist, but he was a strong race man, and this idea goes back to ida b wells, harriet tubman, sojourner truth, w. e. b. dubois, malcolm x, angela davis, these race em -- these race men and race women wanted racial justice and didn't just have one, set way to do it. so walters is willing to talk with people with whom he disagrees, but is also willing to adopt multiple, overlapping strategies. he wants a big tent. he is reminiscent of aspects of what malcolm x talked about who wanted a big tent, a black united front to organize for black issues. briefly, and then i will open this up, ron walters and barack obama. walters writes about obama. ron walters passed away of cancer in 2010. he is around for the 2008 election and he writes his weekly column on black politics. he is both impressed by barack obama, but also disappointed that obama refuses to listen and understand that his job as president is to be open to a black agenda along with white agendas and other agendas. that is what he is disappointed by. he realizes barack obama is president of the united states, but in
