it was the ghost of harriet tubman. wanda was kind enough to do the part.riters of the episode, jack knight, who happens to be black, was pitching a joke, he thought it would be really funny if harriet tubman used the "n" word. it got somehow quieter just now. [ laughter ] >> wanda: everybody was like, aw, shucks! >> whoop! >> wanda: whoop, okay! >> which is what happened in the room when we were like, how do we get wanda to -- because we were like, that's really funny but how do we navigate that right now? so we actually had jack come to the record and, like, casually throw -- i mean, how do you -- do you remember? >> wanda: i remember it. i do remember it. it was so funny. because i was feeling as i was doing the script, i was like, this thing needs the "n" word in here somewhere. [ laughter ] and then we were recording. i saw jack, you know, in the booth. so i would do a take, then i would look in the window, and i just see jack. >> yeah. >> wanda: the producers, you guys are like this. >> yeah. >> wanda: like, i'm not going to ask her. so i'm like, oh,

yes, i want back, yes, i want harriet tubman in the idea that thomas jefferson can say that poetry beneath it, it meets at the committee of responding to it critically. the fact that he dismissed the art and get have children who are black, to me i will never ever consider thomas jefferson in the same way, i can take you had very equal ideas, you spent it, took ownership of it, i'm not going to forget he took ideas from a white guy europe as well and you are able to justify your bad behavior and somehow white americans today he's a good guy. i want to know how far you can go back but this is important because i want to talk about you being an artist and there is a wonderful paragraph here on page 26. i am going backwards. when you start with donna and grace, they are the two women cleaned meets when he goes to monticello and that paragraph, that first paragraph if you could read that for us on page 26. >> donna and grace, and so many people, specifically white people have often understood slavery and those held in its grip only an abstract terms. they do not seek the faces, they cannot pic

yes i want harriet tubman but yes i also want phyllis wheelan the idea that thomas jefferson can actually say that poetry i mean the need to dignity of responding to it critically. the fact that he's dismissing art and yet has children who are black. to me i will never ever ever consider thomas jefferson the same way but i can say you know what you have some very cool ideas and use fund it and took ownership of it so i'm not going to forget. you are able to justify your bad behavior and somehow white americans today are thinking that he is a good guy and i want to know how far you go back because this is really important for that one to talk about you being an artist and there's a wonderful paragraph here on page 26 so you see i am going backwards. when you start with donna and grace. donna and grace are the two women that cleanse meets when he goes to monticello and that paragraph, that first paragraph please read that for us on page 26. >> i'm and grace and so many people specifically white people have often understood slavery told only in abstract terms. they do not see the basis and t

the same is true for harriet tubman. harriet tubman saw herself as on a mission guided and protected by god himself. rooted in her biblical faith, she has the courage to go back into the south after escaping from slavery, she goes back into the south to free 300 other enslaved people on 19 trips. the power of religious freedom being exercised and in action. but that's not the only exodus event in the history of the black church. think about the civil rights movement, an exodus from disenfranchisement and terror in the southern united states into full citizenship, and in the words of reverend dr. martin luther king, there is nothing greater in the world than freedom. i would rather die in abject poverty with my convictions than live in inordinate riches with lack of self-respect. for him, religious freedom was expressed in all of the work of the civil rights movement. we were talking about this earlier today, the fact that the importance of king's faith in his role in the civil rights movement, the importance of the churc

which is absurd but i grew up, no teacher or professor ever said the name frederick bliss or harriet tubman in a classroom until i was an undergraduate so we do a lot of frederick douglass reading narrative, reading several of his n speech, happy to see kim's books, he's certainly not known for poems. i love to introduce students to george moses, his poetry is amazing, very 19th century for line sandoz but also very clear and crisp about his experience as an enslaved person. his biography is the most distinctive thing in american lit that students will experience. he used to drive a vegetable wagon from the t plantation to e newly founded university of north carolina at chapel hill sundays so the masters vegetables. eventually he began writing poems for students, girlfriends, umc students to get their girlfriends as he would talk with them and they would realize he's a poet, became friends with the faculty professor's wife who helped get him his first couple books published and eventually he asks the master if he can live in chapel hilliv and work n his poems. the slave owner agrees as long

images of harriet tubman, and significant images of the call for men and women to join the war by frederick douglass. so here as i move forward, and considering our time, looking at the posing of the experience of the quiet moments of going into the studio, here is colonel shaw, who is head of the 54th. and we know before he left that he is -- posed considering the next steps, and he says, we have gone quietly among forming the regiment as he prepares for the war and how long it takes to get to south carolina as they prepare for the war. this is an album at the smithsonian, and we see that it's part of the gift of the garrison family, the memory of george thompson garrison. and this is an album. soldiers entered into the studios, the captains and other servicemen created albums of the people in there camp. this is the outside of the album. the album is bound in gold leather in terms of the gold leaf clasp. but we see the power of images, and they're compelled to tell me the stories to push forward to tell the story from william carney with his flag in terms of his image, what he used throug
