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

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 case of

. >> he's compared himself to harriet tubman before leading blacks out of the liberal plantation et cetera of you of him talk about slavery? >> i thought he could continue me hating him. i'm tired of him. it is same thing over and over again. the same broken record. he's pandering selling i don't like the term but he's selling to get to this point to be elected. i think he's overshooting. if you're trying to get racist, he's shooting too far back for race im. slavery, all he talks about is slavery. like jim crowe. settle in. maybe get a different voting block rather than the sleigh owner block. -- rather than the slave owner block. >> michael, it appears they're using some of the african-american leaders in the republican party if you can call them that as a front because they want to say oh, yeah, yeah, we're not the ones in favor. obama is. >> one correction. they're not leaders. they're figure heads. they are fronts. they're put out there for this sort of thing. they get elected in quirky ones, one that happens around the country. the allen keyes allen west, you have to be named allen o

tubman, frederick douglass -- many of them, like harriet tubman, frederick douglass, they would return and they would tell those who they had left in bondage, "you can be free." 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 would tell the they had trouble makers in their midst. my friend, herman cain, was called a bad apple by harry belafonte. 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 -- [applause] people like herman. if you place that that apple in the beryl read the rest of them, they will spoil -- in the barrel with the rest of them, they will spoil the rest. americans, i say to you, 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. except that the dogs and the overseers, the dogs are no longer bore-legged hound. there in

harriet tubman helped out and got people free. yes.how do we use -- [inaudible] [applause] how do we allow ourselves to lose -- [inaudible] where we live where we grew up. you know, where, you know, here we are in the place so we have to do now is identify the shared room and freedom spaces we women and men and children grapple the fact that give us a new identity in the world. we have to organize the comes. you know how people say stuff about us. i said it years ago i think you were there in a place called new orleans when i said simply we have to have a committee of engineering. that any time someone says something about any of us, right, whatever, the next day in the it "times" "l.a. times" "the washington post there would be a rebuttal. and we have is like, you know, concerns cynicism. concerned intellectuals. i don't care what name it is there. we have to do that. why? and the black newspaper and the latino newspapers said so you to run that ad for free whatever. go to the supermarket and my children don't want to two with me. the
