the obama administration proposed replacing andrew jackson's image on the individual with harriet tubmanrew jackson on the back. i can't remember what his name is, josh somebody, he used to be the vice president on west wing, he tweeted. >> joshua molina. >> he tweeted his 240,000 twitter followers and said write harriet tubman's face on andrew jackson. >> it seemed le would see a counter balance to it so we'll see what happens with that. >> yeah, we'll see. >> ready for a holiday weekend. >> whoo-hoo!, yes, bring it on. >> caitlin roth standing by with a look at what we've got coming in over the next couple of days. hello there. >> hey, both you guys. we'll do a little weather here. the holiday weekend not going to be off to the best start. you know what the good news is, it's a long weekend and that means a lot of time for improvement which we'll see. turning pretty cool tonight. tomorrow friday it's going to feel like the middle of fall. it's going to be cloudy breezy high temperatures struggling to hit 70 degrees. it's ahead of tropical depression harvey which will be impacting us on

among them is one biography on harriet tubman. we know that frederick douglass included -- collected other people's narratives and that included harriet tubman. prof. levine: i don't remember him commenting on harriet tubman in his autobiography, which is why have not explored that relationship. douglass was always someone who argued for citizenship for people who were disenfranchised. and i think very powerfully, not to deflect too far away from your question, but in the 1870's, the 1890's, the time of his death, he was are going for citizen rights for asian americans for so-called coolies. that put them in the real minority of voices during that time. so, i know less about his interest or champion of native americans. more about other immigrants who he was championing for citizenship and was arguing for voting rights for women. though he excepted -- accepted the constitutional amendments that initially gave black men and not white women the right to vote. and that led to extraordinary friction for a couple of years between dougl

one is about the relationship between douglas and harriet tubman. this came from the eastern shore, they were from different counties. i am not sure about the dates on that. , i havend one is thought more about this over the years as i studied african-american history, my history. when douglass was making his speech is about slavery -- speeches about slavery, what did douglas think about the status of native americans because slaves were not citizens, free blacks were not citizens and indians were not citizens. we have three categories where there were no citizenship. tubmango back to harriet since harriet tubman is really big right now in dorchester county. did they meet, did they have similar thoughts, any thoughts on that? answer a little about that. i don't know how close his relationship to harriet tubman was, they knew each other, they spent time together. when he lived up in rochester, new york, he was fairly close to the canadian borders. she spends time in canada herself. she is going through rochester and staying at the douglas home. in ou

that person kind of surprised her to come out with harriet tubman.in 1863, harriet tubman had gone down to south carolina and was working in relief efforts for friedman, freed slaves supporting herself by selling gingerbread and root beer and making homemade medicine, but she also created a spy network of former slaves who told her that there were what they called torpedoes, but they were mind of the company river. so, eventually a colonel who had some expertise in guerrilla warfare took two gunboats and went up the river with harriet tubman, with a regimen of segregated african-american soldiers and they conducted a raid on plantations, on a bridge and on railroad. tubman was illiterate, but she was a fantastic storyteller and she gave an interview to two journalists about 30 years apart and they were very very similar, almost verbatim in some places and so we were able to lay hands on that manuscript, which is in a museum in new york and i would like to share harriet tubman's story of the river raid in her own words. page 27 if anyone wants to read

michelle: it was supposed to be a historic change but tonight plans to put harriet tubman on the $20 bill in jeopardy. obama administration proposed replacing but now it's not something that they are focused on in the moment. tubman would be the first african-american woman to appear on a paper bill. nancy: new at 6:00 -- horace: lawsuit over the popular eclipse glasses against amazon. the suit claims that the company should have known they were defective before listing them on the site. the two people claim they are two of thousands that suffered injuries including vision loss after using the glasses. michelle: still to come, talk about a special delivery. first responders remember the moment they stepped in to help a woman deliver twins in the middle of the parking lot. >> backpacks left over from a community drive in prince george's county now on the way to texas to help out the flooding victims. coming up, you will hear from the c.e.o. dr. kevin maxwell on his conversation with the superintendent in houston. yeah, i just saved a whole lot of money by swhuh.ing to geico. we should

that person was harriet tubman. that was in 1863, she had gone down to south carolina and was working in efforts for free slaves and she also created a spy network of former slaves who told her there were torpedoes but they were actually mines in the river. eventually a colonel who had expertise in guerrilla warfare took to gun votes and went up the river with harriet tubman with a regimen of segregated african-american soldiers and they conducted a raid on plantations on the bridge and on railroad. she was deliberate and she was a fantastic storyteller and she gave an interview to to journalists about 30 years apart and they were very similar, almost verbatim in some places and we were able to lay hands on that manuscript which is in a small museum in new york and i would like to share her story. >> page 27 if you'd like to read along. >> they gave us colonel montgomery to command the x exhibition. three gunboats and all colored soldiers and we found where the torpedoes were. when we went up the river in the mornin

guy,w jackson was a bad harriet tubman was the real heroine.helping us out with the -- thet-republican american people political america,nd the [indiscernible] to inform the people whoever this person could be looked at as opportunist at this point. on has the upper hand keeping dirty little secrets? democrats whok has ideas for their seats to give them up if they can't hold congress accountable and wasn't being revealed, they as well as republicans are in the same boat. them to leave their seats and have people willing to come to help this american situation out. on a: i want to pick up point made earlier about white power and the notion that white power guys today are in the trump cap. -- trump camp. on the left you have an umbrella called multiculturalism. the affirmation of ethnic identity. , hispanics, feel proud of who you are. asians, feel proud of who you are. the blame, you take for what everyone else has suffered and feel really bad. multiculturalism as an umbrella excludes whites. if it included whites i believe the ku klux klan and

what about harriet tubman and william seward they argued against slavery and convinced weekend of the visitation and i believe your cast, i have a littleon nervous and tried to give i trade ofs thought back garner track but your guest with martin luther king that a peaceful protest kid raised public opinioneace into a understand logic and argument because people are so entrenched in that would really love this where it has prevailed but right nowow. >> host: thanks for your call wondering if the stage could happen?. >> we need many different tacticsed m i do appreciate that comment of peaceful protest and advocacy a do think sometimes particularly ofof the left with the fact itt will solve all the problems and to solve all those issues and start that profitrts and i've taken many ways so what every day people have to raise their voices and pushed back so we fundamentally believe in this era of the authoritarianism or donald trumparia to change the rules type of candidate we will not legal our way out of his non with the nonprofit executive director it will be the people who raise thei

we have the harriet tubman national park where people can learn about the underground railroad. we have places in maryland that are critical to learn the good, bad and ugly about america's history and path towards our democratic society. you don't need to have a monument that is offensive to certain parts of our history to fully appreciate that. >> and mike mill is making the case that we need more monuments. >> we have lots of monuments that people rarely visit the important point, let's find effective ways so people can understand the struggles of america and i point out the harriet tubman national park. it's a wonderful place to visit. i will be there later today. >> enjoy your visit there. senator, appreciate your time today. thank you. ben cardin, democrat from maryland. >> thank you. >> in a moment, we'll bring back our panel to talk about the president after virginia. what does he say now? did he miss a chance to bring the country together? we'll get to all that in a moment. what would you like to talk to the panel about. go to facebook or twitter and we go to facebook or

i will point out the harriet tubman national park. it's a wonderful place to i will be there later today. >> bill: enjoy your visit there. really appreciate your time today, thank you. ben cardin. thank you for being there. in the moment we will bring back our panel to talk about the president after virginia. what does he say now? did he miss a chance to bring the country together? we will get to all of that in a moment. plus, what would you like to talk to the panel about? go to facebook or twitter, @foxnewssunday, and we just might use your question on the air. >> racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the kkk, neo-nazis, white supremacists and other groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans. i think there's blame on both sides and i have no doubt about it and you don't have any doubt about it either. >> bill: president trump this past week, two different days, first on monday then on tuesday explaining his point of view after the attacks in charlottesville

and then of course, you all know, because he's just started with this -- harriet tubman. you were many layers to this woman, she was not only a conductor on this underground railroad, but she actually let a regiment of the united states color troops on this river raid. in the aftermath of the war she has to fight to get a pension as a soldier, even though she did lead a regiment of men. she fought for years and years and years to get a pension for that work that she did. in the end, she never gets it. in the end, she gets the pension from the united states army, but not because she actually served in the army, but because she married a man after the war who had been in the army. so she gets a pension as a widow of an army man even though she had served in the army. those are the sort of unusual ways that women go into the war. the sort of more beaten-down path, the path that we have records of many women attempting it, through the more traditional routes. prewar groups that had been working on solving moral problems in their communities easily became local soldiers relief

. >>> remember, the fanfare last year when it was announced harriet tubman would replace andrew jacksonn the $20 bill? today treasury secretary steve mnuchin may have cast doubt on when or if the switch announced under the obama administration will actually happen. mnuchin said, quote, ultimately we will be looking at this issue, but right now he says he's more focused on making changes to stop >>> and a lot of excitement from apple fans tonight. word of a big event next month and speculation is high that it will be a dramatically different iphone. the iphone 8 that could include a false phone screen and no home button. we'll all find out september 12th. >>> when we come back here in just a moment, the people's princess. remembering the royal icon the world lost 20 years ago. >>> nbc "nightly news" is brought to you by ancestry. unlock your past. inspire your future. ancestry. unlock your past growing up, we were german. we danced in a german dance group. i wore lederhosen. when i first got on ancestry i was really surprised that i wasn't finding all of these germans in my tree. i decid

i come from the town of harriet tubman and william seward. william seward argued against slavery and actually convinced of emancipation. he was a pivotal player. i believe your guest is going -- i'm a little nervous. i'm trying to get my train back on track. , and alsohi-esque -esque luther king jr. that a peaceful protest can sway public opinion. currently, logic and argument he, --g anybody's anybody's view, people are so entrenched. i would love if you quality, justice, truth, the american way were to prevail. right now, i am on the fence. host: rashad robinson, what would you say to jeff who is on the fence about whether that change can happen? guest: i think we need many different tactics. aroundciate the comment the importance of peaceful protest and advocacy. we can have a magical thinking that happens particularly on the left. sometimes we think we get the perfect report or fact, that it will solve all the problems. if we get into the courtroom, that alone will solve the issues. or if someone develops an app or starts a new nonprofit

larry: coming up tonight at 6:00, a plan supposed to make history is up in the air and why harriet tubman may not end up on the $20 billion at all. recall eclipse glasses at the center of the lawsuit. why amazon may have to pay up over defective glasses. local school hat-trick working to make sure students impacted by hurricane harvey have one less thing to worry about when they head back to class. nancy: a lot of marriage proposals are done in front of family and friends. but a man topped that when he proposed in front of the pope. according to popefrancis.com, an exexiled politician met with pope francis in austria and he introduced his girlfriend to the pope and got down on a knee and proposed. the pope blessed the couple after the woman said yes. i have to tell you, very lucky for him she said yes. that would be an conversation if not. larry: if you are the pope, what do you say? nancy: blessings to all! larry: next. nancy: exactly. larry: exactly. nancy: congratulations to them. larry: millions of muslims making their way to mecca right now taking part in the pilgrimage called hajj.

. >> ♪ >> ♪♪ >> ♪ >> putting harriet tubman on the new 20-dollar bill may not be a done deal after all steve mnuchin declined to say if he would follow through with the obama administration plans. mnuchin said there were much more important and pressing matters and that the change is not something he's focused on. he said the major motivation for changing currency is preventing counterfeits. >> the average american spent more money on taxes than they did on food and clothing. the information comes from the bureau of labor and statistics. americans spent an average of $10,500 on state and federal taxes. they spent about 7200 on food and 1800 on clothing. the only expense higher was a $19,000. >> that's depressing. [laughter] >> downer news. >> yeah. >> just a little bit and i feel like as we look at what's coming the next couple days the downer just keeps on going. >> pretty depressing. not only are we expecting rain to start off the holiday weekend through much of saturday but it is going to be chilly. >> yeah. >> ooh. >> temperatures barely hitting 70 degrees and with the rain it feel

and he's working with the federal reserve on financialregulatory reform, and not decided on the harriet tubmanng on the $20 bill they were going to take andrew jackson, put him on the back and him on one side. mnuchin just had breakfast with janet yellen and downplayed the difference over the fed and the treasury. >> secretary mnuchin about the weak u.s. dollar, what exactly -- it's always been a stance of the treasury secretary to say a strong u.s. dollar is great for america, et cetera here we are, and the dollar is extremely weak. >> i kind of thought his answer was very interesting rather than say that in a strong dollar makes the economy strong, he said the strong dollar reflects a strong economy, or investor sentiment about a strong economy and i'm not going to argue with the guy. he's spent a long time on wall street -- >> so the dollar that we have that is weak, a dollar index we have that is, what -- >> now, don't jump to conclusions. the treasury secretary said over the long term. >> oh, okay. >> you go through these ups and downs. we know currency traders are among the more excitabl

. >> i think if harriet tubman can take people from the deep south, slavery, while she would have beened or whatever, and would help people escape to the north, i can do my part to overcome this pestilence, this disgusting racist bigots to help other people rise. and we must be positive and help other people rise. >> you, my friend, are a great american. thank you so much. retired nasa astronaut leeland melvin. thank you. we have more on that breaking news we just spoke about, a few minutes ago from spain. a van crashed into a crowd of people in a popular tourist area in barcelona. live on the phone, witness rachel mursky, an american tourist. what did you see? >> i was walking down the street, a busy street, and suddenly everyone started screaming and run ing over each other, people were falling over each other. i saw a man fall on top of his girlfriend and cover her and so naturally i started running as well. and then once that had died down, i went back and there were hundreds of cops, like, streaming up. i tried to find what was happening, tried to see the van people were talking a

groups like that harriet tubman collective who have been very outspoken on this issue. i look forward to the fact that my colleagues across the street at the national council on disability will be releasing something this year. hope you guys are watching because i will hold you to it. [laughter] on police violence on people with disabilities. as the mother of a six-year-old and a 3-year-old, both african-american children with disabilities, i am incredibly conscience of the fact that my son's tenacity, righteous indignation at injustice, and desire to literally talk everybody's here off while in tearing at six, will be looked at far differently when he is 16 years old. i remember talking to reverend yearwood at the hip-hop caucus he reminded me that we are not , talking about her having a direct impact now, but impacting jackson when he is 16 and being mindful of that. we are thinking 10 years down the road to the world being a safer place. they are the future of the disability rights. john and i were talking about this earlier. this movement was significantly different

. >> today treasury secretary steve mnuchen seemed to put on the brake goes of putting harriet tubmanace of paper currency in the united states, that's martha washington and no african-american. >> tim. >> donald trump's favorite bond character is gold finger. >> we're back to school, but what is weighing on the minds of students across this nation, charlottesville and obviously harvey. >> thank you, everybody.

. >> mentioned today in interviews that -- was asked about plan to put harriet tubman on the $20 bill. he was vague in answer. during the campaign, the president called this pure political correctness. is the administration reversing those plans to change the $20 bill? >> i'm not aware of any policy change. i'd certainly have to check into that. >> sarah, on daca -- >> sorry, i promised i'd come back to you. >> on daca, in february, the president said he would treat d.r.e.a.m.ers with heart. does the president stand by his statement to treat d.r.e.a.m.ers with heart. >> absolutely. the president stands by his statement. right now, this is currently under review, both from a legal standpoint, primarily, and until that review is complete, again, as i answered before, we don't have anything to add further on that front. >> would defending daca be treating d.r.e.a.m.ers with heart. >> i'm not going to get into a back and forth. let me come to him. >> i'll go right after chip. >> to russia for a moment. the decision -- >> he's jumped in there for you. team work. >> the announcement today b

regulatory reform not a whole much different as indicated by janet yellen's speech and not decided on harriet tubman being on the $20 bill speaking of dollars, mnuchin backs the idea of a market determined dollar. didn't talk it up or talk it down over the long term a strong dollar reflects market sentiment about a country's underlying economics. >> steve, i really miss the treasury secretary repeateding a statement about the policy of the strong dollar even though they don't believe it -- >> you know, michelle, i want to share a personal reporter's notebook this interview provided me with a sense of normalcy i haven't experienced in the political process in seven months. you sit town down with a politician and spar over details he doesn't want to provide the way -- so insane the last several months doing that was the first bit of normalcy since the election. >> that's interesting. but the point on the dollar, that's a dramatic change historically the treasury secretary says -- it's the same sentence over and over again for decades, the policy is to have a strong dollar. >> i thought about that and
