inevitable tell that to john lewis or rosa parks or elizabeth cady stanton or frederick douglass or harriet tubman or surgeon or truth. tell them that this will work out. we need to remember history to honor those who gave the ultimate price to have something worth defending. so if we act as if history is a myth if everything works out in a land far far away to foreclose the possibility of learning from it. but they are just like us. i write history and biography not because it was more reassuring but imperfect yet they got through it and made progress and with all of their imperfections with her appetite and ambition and racism and sexism that he created a more perfect union and surely all of us driven by those same forces. and then to simplify this it is sometimes sometimes it is absolutely clear but that is the exception not the rule and the nation is defined i think in the august terms that the nation is a multitude of rational beings ignited by the common objects of their love. again. a multitude of rational beings ignited by the common objects of their love. so what do we love in common? see

not just a friend who i just love in general, but a trailblazer, someone who, in the spirit of harriet tubman and sojourner truth and so many who came before her, decided to stand up .nd say, me, too a long time before it became popular, it for the cameras showed up, before people began to talk about this movement in she was standing up, she was speaking out and she was organizing in local communities all across this country, and particularly in the south where our people are suffering all over. -- ining in ways disproportionate way. so i'm proud to bring her here today. it is important that history records the truth, that every time there is an issue in this country affecting any individual, the matter what their color, no matter what their kind, no matter what it is, where they come from, that black women have found a way to stand up over and over and over again. [applause] and we face some of the most dangerous attacks, the most dangerous lies and abuse. and so to see her walk in her power to have her here with us today is extremely important to us. it was important that during our convent

i know the treasury secretary under obama announced harriet tubman would go on it. those lands seem to have been postponed. know thath irony to he would be on the $20 federal reserve note. host: this is a tweet from edward perkins. he wants to know, during the jackson presidency, the migrants in this country, how did most german and irish migrants support jackson's democratic party? the irish were lower class and a lot of the germans moved to the frontier or west to pennsylvania, and frankly there was a religious reason as well. many irish and germans were catholic. there was a hostility toward centurys in the 19th among a lot of protestant groups. jackson was a protestant, and a unnerved by were that. and a lot of them were heavy drinkers, and the week party =-- whig party was part of the temperance movement. they werek that trying to push back against interests that were tried to keep them down. host: what was the margin of victory in 1828? jackson got well over a majority of the popular vote and well over a majority of the electoral vote. you could call it close

i think that along some of those civil war leaders in general, we need to put up a statue to harriet tubman the first woman black or white to have let a regiment of soldiers into combat. [applause] we need to acknowledge that it was african slaves that shared the cure for smallpox. we would have lost the american revolution had we not had the smallpox injection. soldiers were dying of that. but women, and blacks and mexicans have become hidden figures in american history. and when we unveil those hidden figures along with the people we accept, then we have the whole picture of what makes america great and continues to make it great. [applause] >> thank you. >> i hate to follow that. that was beautiful, so thank you. i am just concerned with jackson's wife. i don't know if she had been married prior but there's a big scandal around her and their romance. i wanted to know if you had done any research on that. >> not heavily but they have life-sized things of the wife. she was like four foot nine and he was six foot three. rachel. the way i understand, she had an abusive marriage. she got out

"malcolm jenkins sounds like the man who turned his back on harriet tubman to do the good work of makingure he can effect change from inside the plantation. please stop calling malcolm jenkins the face of colin kaepernick's movement. that would be like saying ben carson is doing the work that malcolm x started." that is a nasty comment about ben carson. you get the point. you guys were too quick to take the money, instead of continuing to protest and standing against what the nfl owners are really all about. you are getting hit by both sides, the left on the right, i guess. >> honestly, laura, i can understand how from the outside it may look that way, but when you are in the inside, and you understand him again, that generations of players coming to this point in moving forward are going to be concerned about the issues that all americans should be concerned about, you understand that the money being donated was simply awesome the nfl coming together and negotiating that and them being willing to support some of our causes. i think that we can learn a lesson from what has happened here

i stand on the shoulders of too many people in this room, i stand on the shoulders of harriet tubman, i stand on the shoulders of my great great grandfather who was the last known slave in my family. i stand on the shoulders, i came from a blue collar and a white collar family. both my parents are gone to glo glory. they worked too hard, they worked too hard in this city for me to get where i am, to let someone who wants to prove something to somebody, for me to lose any standing. so what did i do? to deserve this? a friend. so she was bad-mouthing me saying all this, so i pulled away and a couple months later, how dare she, are you still going to be in my wedding? i did not get the swatch for the gown. i never answered her. but you heard the rumors about that fight between the oval office and sean spicer's office. it happened because i confronted, i'm like why are you telling people that i'm taking money from hillary clinton. john, yes, it happened. you heard about it, right? yeah, good. it was like did you hear april ryan -- i'm from baltimore. you better back up. i'm a little scrap

national historic site and the harriet tubman underground railroad national monument as national historic parks two sites with similar historical significance, but focused on much different aspects of american history. of course the sites currently included in the national monument are not the only significant reconstruction sites worthy of preservation. this legislation will allow for expansion of the boundary near the existing monument and several very significant reconstruction sites in the area were considered for inclusion. however, this bill will allow for expansion with appropriate agreement between all owners and stake holders. however, it is not feasible to incorporate all historic sites from reconstruction into one national park. the reconstruction era national historic network will be a program operated by the national park service but sites in the network would be managed by their current owners. whether federal, state, local, or private. this concept that has been utilized in the underground railroad network of freedom and the recently enacted african-american civil rights ne

i had this idea that he was kind of moses of the harriet tubman and moving people to the promised land first as an artist, right? he immortalize his these young people and then as a friend, but he became his own complicated, beautiful character. and by the end of the book i just adored him. so i don't know, like i don't want the book to end because i want to spend some more time with moses and laurel, and a laurel at the beginning of the book, the laurel that kind of counterweight. >> host: you can't tell from the cover if laurel is white or black tragedy you really can't. >> host: you cover the face. >> guest: okay. >> host: i presume turkey be white. >> host: she is white. but that long blonde hair doesn't give her away? it's true because the old cover, the hardcover didn't have a photo at all. wishes to brown cover with beneath a meth moon. >> host: was this photo credit for this book? >> guest: yes, paperback. >> host: you to take apart in -- >> guest: i i okayed it. i get to give get the final say covers. sometimes there's accomplished. sometimes okay, okay, sometimes unlike yes.

even harriet moses tubman, a disabled abolitionist and the first woman to lead a military raid during the u.s. civil war had allies and co-conspirators. tubman helped liberate over 300 enslaved africans as an underground railroad conductor. by working as part of a network of relationships. first reading about her i learned that she carried a pencil and took notion. but i read little about the support system she had as a woman who had narcolepsy and was prone to fall asleep in any circumstance. these sleeping spells followed an event that happened when she was about 15. a two-pound weight aimed at another enslaved person hit her head. as a child i never wondered exactly how tubman accomplish what she did, and now understand that she is extraordinary organizing skills but also had assistance to do homework without being killed or losing a single person along the way. i'll stop there.

the only other time this was happening was when a woman named harriet tubman in maryland -- some people don't agree with that and i suspect there are probably some reasons why they don't agree to it and i will try to deal with those reasons. at any rate, this is the situation that is going on. antislavery men. white men going to free black men. in missouri. kansas at least in the beginning pays tribute to the abolitionists. these are the first of two pictures i took in the kansas state senate chamber. i was surprised to see both of them. can you guys read the names? you can barely read the names. charles robinson. john brown. -- these are abolitionists and their names are inscribed in the state capital building in topeka. james lane, james montgomery, other names of abolitionists are inscribed in the state capital building. kansas then becomes this place of freedom. i'm going to say that yes there were whites that were dedicated to freeing the black people and i think we have to give them credit, but ultimately, it was the black people who freed themselves. the vast majority of people w
