find harriet doing. >> kvetch this was about 1836 or so. ultimately, harriott's spot, they were living in this area. what is significant to know about that part of the world in that time period? >> when you are talking about 1830 you are talking about a period where the abolitionist movement started to grow and become more radicalized. you are talking about a period where slavery still existed and people had presumption of slavery and that hasn't changed. when dred and harriott meet each other, they are both slaves to their masters. if they fall in love, they get married. there is a sort of an ambiguity there. they both seem to recognize fully that they are enslaved that moment, and yet they are carrying on in some ways, as if they are free. so it is sort of the time of almost transition but not quite transition because as martha said earlier, the fugitive slave act of 1850 really is the point at which you see sectional tension begin to rise. 1830 is sort of the beginning of that. >> would it have been unusual for a white public official at

all right harriet is holey. so this poem is written in a peculiar way because we know that craft and content go together. so this poem can be read in any direction and hopefully it will make sense. and i did that purposely because you weren't going to find harriet tubman in one spot. you can never locate her, and so i felt like a poem that would honor her would also have the same continuity. so i'm going to read it twice in two different ways. hold it to the wind, what is it about water, women, take me ms. tubman in toe, her instructions make my mark x. a river be as faithful as the daughter of eve, the mother of cane, her face a rainbow wonder, her smile a collection of stars and springs between water, between women, be no mysteries. i know of no man that stands waist deep in these crossings. this woman needs. like braille. bold in her feet, this woman needs these sweet waters in her palms, thousands call her. moses. ask the stars, even jesus needed a john the baptist. with arms wide, her, she in the intersecti

with harriet and giles, and let's start with the eye.d uk trade barbs as relations hit new low, and a paper there i think from the protests. in fact, it is from the protests. in fact, it is from a video that has been released this week of a man apparently handcuffed and blindfolded as they we re handcuffed and blindfolded as they were put on trains to be taken to these re—education camps. what you make of the line that dominic raab has taken to that? yes, we have known for some time about these alleged human rights abuses of the uighur muslims alleged human rights abuses of the uighurmuslims in alleged human rights abuses of the uighur muslims in china and today the foreign secretary described them as gi’oss the foreign secretary described them as gross and egregious human rights abuses against the ethnic minority and said that sanctions cannot be ruled out, which is a fairly strong line, but not quite as strong as labour has been calling for the government to take, as they suggested powers should be used such as we have seen against the

harriet tubman is quite a story, just as a point of comparison.a recent history, but telling a fuller story. she rescued, i believe, 70 people in terms of the underground railroad. she was also someone who was in the union army, as a spy and active in terms of trying to push for the abolition of slavery. i would add that she was also active in the women's suffragette movement, trying to get the vote for women. i think that's about 100 years old this year. she is quite a great american, and worthy of that kind of honor. >> harris: so, monticello would be the only place, according to that relative. gillian turner, what do you make of it? >> gillian: i don't understand, harris, why it needs to be in either/or. i don't think -- >> harris: that's my question. >> gillian: the nation's capital space for monuments is not at a premium. we don't have to choose between honoring thomas jefferson and honoring harriet tubman. i think having a statue of her anywhere in the nation's capital would be a tremendous, tremendous attribute. i think it would draw in lot

that's her we get a sense of harriet jacobs letter. she is saying, sitting here in my grandmother's house reflecting on what it means to be free and what it means to be free. she is writing about returning to a place where her family was buried. so many people fled and were able to emancipate themselves and they then came back to places where their families were buried. so places where they found their roots. in a lot of ways, this return to the places of emancipation, places of enslavement is how they made freedom meaningful and stayed safe by returning to those places to shape the landscape for freedom. the meaning of freedom, as you could see, was robust. enslaved people and free people had a very robust sense of what it meant to be free and a lot of different ways of constructing it. but they laid the foundation for making a freedom meaningful. they laid the foundations and the conversations they had and the conversations between the former enslavers. they lay the foundations in their letters about the schools and in their pursuit

i had only seen images of her as this older woman kind of bent over, and it was hard to imagine harriet tubman, you know, moses leading people for freedom. but then, when you saw that picture, we discovered there's a look in her eye. there was a style. carla: there was style. lonnie: for me, imagery is really what helped history come alive to me. you know, i first got interested in history looking at old photographs as a little kid, wondering, what were their lives like? were they happy? were they treated fairly? for me, photographs and the visual literacy that we can help america have is so important because it really then builds upon the amazing scholarship in the written word. i've always thought that, if i ever had one of those formal portraits ever painted, i'd have a book in one hand and a photograph in the other. carla: that's right. i remember those same types of experiences, looking at old photographs, family photographs and one that has been interesting and i don't know if you have had this experience recently of older generations telling you about things that relate to what i

look at what he drew from what he saw you cannot understand anything and neither did harriet. even though he saw some features there but galileo, because of his training in drawing as an artist and his understanding of light and shadow he understood immediately that what he was observing was the rugged surface of the moon, surface with mountains and craters by looking at the dark part near -- for example, if you look at the bottom right of the small figure in the one that is three above it you will see that there are points of light in the dark side, in the dark parts already, on illuminated parts i mean. he understood that that actually was tops of mountains that were illuminated by the sun and he noticed that as time was progressing and light was creeping down the mountain just as it would do on earth. he understood very well that what he was seen here in this was also extremely important because until that time the idea was that there was a huge difference between terrestrial and celestial. things on earth were supposed to be corruptible, full of blemishes and could die but

we can claim it was harriet miers' idea. deny it was politically motivated. perfect. you see, of course, dr. strange rove, punk on the bottom is saying another brilliant idea. and then you have dick cheney, notice now bush portrayed as practically, you can barely see him in his seat in comparison to cheney. carl has a brilliant idea. so there you are. one of the interesting things to me is i read this in march of '07, is actually on the inside, cheney's power is actually already really waning a lot in the second term. the public image hasn't caught up to that reality yet. and actually, in my view, rove's influence was also waning. and this particular episode didn't help. bush himself had to go out and publicly state that he thought the firings of the eight had not been handled well. that famous expression was uttered, mistakes were made. so no one involved in this came out looking good. and of course, they did not go fire all 93 u.s. attorneys. >> the next step that happened after that in the aftermath was there was somebody at the justice department who was interview

white and, if you are after the black vote, it is a pretty odd way to do it to go on stage and dis harrietgnificant to note in this right state, which has always been central to american politics and has been central to sort of mobilising of black electoral vote that ka nye did in fact not end up getting in the ballot and i think that being said, his effort to negotiate on one hand the sort of evangelical base that he seems to have increasingly moved toward, which is not exclusively, but largely white, and his own sort of relationship to trump, although he has now tried to distance herself from him, on one hand — we see this part of kanye, but then we think about the larger legacy of kanye's home in chicago, this large black base, the place from which 0bama lodged his candidacy. we think of kanye's own rootedness in black musical traditions. on one hand, there's the sort of anti—black evangelicalism, but also his own sort of tie to a history to black musical and cultural expression. and i think when it comes to him thinking through these two trajectories in public, it ends up very confusin
