we were able to become actually a force for change at harvard, and we changed harvard and harvard changed us. that's essentially what the book is about, about our four years there and what happened before and after harvard. one significant thing we did is we formed the first black student group -- organization at harvard. again, we were 18 and the whole class was 1,100. we were like 1.595% of the class. it wasn't that significant anyway. so i'll tell you about my life a little bit real fast. my parents are from -- were born in south carolina and thigh grew up in the '20s. got high school degrees from aiken, south carolina. my dad -- they were part of the great migration coming to the north. they came here in 1940, '41. i was born in '42. we lived in brooklyn, new york, in the federal housing projects. my dad has always had three or four jobs. he ultimately became a subway motorman in new york. i have a sister who is four years younger. we both did pretty well in school, and i went top boys high school in brooklyn, new york, and from there i went on to harvard. after harvard, not realizing

we were able to become a force for change at harvard, and we changed harvard, and harvard changed us. and essentially that is what the book is about. it's about our four years there, and what happened and what happened there and after harvard. so once ignorant thing we did, we formed the first black student group organization out of harvard and again we were 18, and the whole class was 1100, so we are like the 1.9 5% of the class and the it wasn't that significant anyway. but i will tell you about my life a little bit and my parents were born in south carolina, that was in the twenties and they went to school and got high school degrees from south carolina. and they were part of a great migration coming up to the north they came up about 1940 or 1941 and i was born in 1942 and we lived in brooklyn new york in the federal housing product projects. my dad is always had three or four jobs, and ultimately he became a subway motor man in new york. i have a sister who is four years younger, and we both did pretty well in school. and i went to boys high school in brooklyn new york, and from

and harvard. we changed harvard and harvard changed us and that's essentially what the book is about and it's about our four years there. and what happened before and and and after harvard we want significant thing we did is we formed the first black student. a group organization at harvard. and again, we were 18 and the whole class was 1100 so we were like one point five nine five percent of the class. so it was you know, wasn't that significant anyway? so i'll tell you about my life a little bit real fast. my parents are from were born in south carolina and in the 20s, and they went to school in aiken got high school degrees from aiken south carolina and my dad they were part of the great migration coming up to the north. they came up here in about 1941 and i was born in 42 and we lived in brooklyn new york in the housing federal housing projects. my dad has always had three or four jobs and he ultimately became a subway motorman up in new york. i have a sister who's four. is younger and she we

she wanted to go to harvard medical school and harvard medical school didn't admit women. that's the truth. that's what happened those sorts of things. so, you know, it really was obvious that her this was a piece of american history it's a piece of forensic science history policing history. that was totally overlooked and never been written about she was known among certain people. she's known by miniaturist. she's known by, you know certain weird people who are into morbid things, but you know, she was not, you know, she was literally the mother of forensic saying she was the first woman to be a commissioned as a police captain in the united states in 1943. so you know, it was obvious her story needed to be told and who better to do it than me. so it was a real privilege to be able to do that, but that's how i got involved in it. the book was published in favorite was released in february of 2020 by sourcebooks in the united states and it will be out in paper soft cover in january of 2021. how did they get to baltimore from? massachusetts francis established her homicide

harvard university's just looking back at its archives.rk that simmons did enjoying the intention when she was -- proud to the role of slavery. slavery was a northern tradition before it was a southern tradition. we have got to get rid of some of the falsehoods that exist. and we have to understand that this brings into the present. if you look at the history of u.s. president sees, they go from major slave holders to policies that work -- to the black experience for a long time. you will see historically that maybe four or five presidents were kind to black people. and so if you look at things where we are right now in that sense, you will see that you know you will be less surprised about the terms that we are seeing right now. but the need to really clear the historical record and make it more accurate. so then we have a full understanding. i have often said that you know, remember i was that nine-year-old kid who was ashamed about my enslaved past. and i didn't have a sense of where i came from. and that there are a lot of kids now, li

harvard university is just looking back at its archives.at bruce simmons did that drew the attention when she was president of brown to the role of slavery. slavery is a northern tradition before it is a southern tradition. so we've got to get rid of some of the falsehoods that actually exist. and then we have to understand, and this brings it to the present, i mean, if you look at the history of the u.s. presidencies, they go from major slaveholders to policies that were countered to the black experience for a long time. you will see historically that maybe four, five, presidents were kind to black people. and so if you look at things, you know, where we are right now in that -- in that sense, you will see that, you know, you will be less surprised about the times we're seeing right now, that the need to really clear the historical record and make it more accurate so then we have a full understanding, and i often said that, you know, like, remember i was that 9-year-old kid who was ashamed, really, about my enslaved past. and i didn't, you

and a native christian minister harvard education harvard educated christian minister named john sassaman who is ties both philip and the colonists. arise at josiah and penelope's home to warn josiah about phillips plans to attack. and so we could just imagine, you know cannot be possibly answering the door possibly, you know serving him refreshments, but absolutely discussing the nature of his visit with her husband with josiah afterwards in light of what happens as a result. so john sassman tries to warn josiah josiah has received similar warmings that haven't come to fruition so he doesn't believe john sassaman. even though john's houseman says i fear for my life coming here. and so he leaves a few weeks later. his body is found and it's believed by the colonists that he's been murdered by agents of philip and shortly thereafter three native men with ties to philip. our arrested imprisoned tried and executed in not long afterwards king philip's war breaks out. so josiah knowing that philip has this personal animosity towards him writes this letter to massachusetts bay governor john lev

harvard was not a place at that juncture that was ready for african american students. so there were protests there at that juncture. but it has always seem to me, in the midst of my education, that the batch of being from hbcu, tended to color peoples understanding of what you might be capable of. so i've always been very aware of that. and so i remember one of my first class is when i got to harvard, it was a class in renaissance in literature and as a did most days, they gave something called a text where you actually sit in class and you write an essay in french. and the professor was doing that as a way of understanding, what kind of skills we have, because we came from all over the country to this class. slow we completed our work, and in the next meeting he came in and he said that are explications were absolutely terrible, that we need to do a lot of work to get up to speed to do this french exercise. he says however there was one essay that was perfect, any reddit and it turned out to be mine. and the discipline or the disappointment on his face, when he handed

he rose quickly through the government and became harvard's first treasure. however, within a few years he decided he needed to go back to ek land to settle some property disputes arriving over inheritance issues. the whole family accompanied him with the exception of nathanial, penelope's older brother who will remain behind to attend harvard and penelope herself. it's not clear why she at the age of 13 didn't accompany the family. later it's thought she didn't have the best relationship with her stepmother who her father married shortly after arriving in cambridge. we do know she moved in with her father's sister, another penelope, and her husband richard belling ham who is a leading citizen of boston. he would serve as governor for several terms. and the bell lingham's home or merchant house was located near where king's chapel is today. living there would have exposed penelope to a host of people oochs and ideas that exponentially broadened her world. we're not sure what her education consisted of, but it would have been overseen her aunt. it was obviousl

harvard college had recently been founded. and herbert pelham early on acquired land. he rose very quickly through the government, and he also became harvard's first treasurer. however, within a few years he decided he needed to go back to england to settle some property disputes arriving over inheritance issues. so the whole family accompanied him with the exception of nathaniel and her brother -- nathaniel, penelope's older brother who was going to attend harvard and penelope herself. it is not sure why at the age of 13 she didn't accompany her family back to england. indications are she may not have had the best relationship with her stepmother whom herbert had married shortly after arriving in cambridge. and so we do know, though, that she probably at this time moved in with her father's sister, another penelope and her husband richard bellingham who was a leading citizen of boston. he would serve as governor for several terms. and the bellingham's home was located near where kings chapel is today. so living there would have exposed penelope to a host of people and

that he wrote to matter nick introducing him to edward everett, the american order and teacher at harvard who helped inspire emerson to become a humble tien. emerson will then inspire furrow, nobody really needs to inspire women, i think he managed to pull that off pretty much by himself, but there is a lot of saturation in that americans view humbled as a magnet. first in paris and then when he moved to berlin in 1829, we flock to go see him. and he welcomes us with open arms. usually have to have an appointment to see humbled, if you are visiting american any finds out you're in american, he will usually make an exception and invite you in. this is where you get invited into. this is his library. here he is in 1856 in his 80s, surrounded by his tribal diaries and art and books and stuffed critters and his scientific equipment and there is a glow in what you see is north america and the countries in south america that really put him on the map. i don't think that's an accident that the globe is position that way. this was who veneer that was brought back by former president leonard fillm

from palo alto, to harvard, to the nba. his biggest impact, he has been called an anti-asian slur on the court. he is opening a dialogue about anti-asian heat. here's "today in the bay"'s sergio quintana >> reporter: steve kerr says he backs an investigation by the nba. . >> i applaud jeremy for his words and echo his sentiments regarding racism against the asian-american community. >> reporter: palo alto native injury my lynn took to facebook writing in part, being a nine-year nba veteran doesn't protect me from being called coronavirus on the court. being a man of faith doesn't mean i don't fight for justice for myself and others. so here we are again sharing how we feel. is anyoname on the court. he joined the g league santa cruz warriors in january. prior to that he spent several years in the nba and became a global fan favorite. he has recently become more vocal about anti-asian violence. during a race in america series he describes one moment as a college player for harvard when he was called an asian slur in front of

so what would happen to harvard if we did this?r harvard or any top school to find new students. millions of college educated kids are itching for the opportunity, and we know they are. via biden administration just announced plans to give amnesty and citizenship to an estimated 30 million foreign nationals living in the united states illegally. as of right now, there is no plan to elevate any of these new americans into our middle class. no. the plan is to keep them in serfdom at the bottom of the economic ladder. some buddy to trim our trees and toss our kale solids, that is the view of democratic donors. but why should the rest of us except their plan, designed only to benefit them, and so obviously unfair? why shouldn't the children of impoverished illegal aliens go to duke? cornell, stanford, williams, amherst, princeton? why shouldn't they occupy every single bed on every single one of those campuses? but wait a second, you asked, says the democratic donor, if the honduran immigrants get into columbia, who is going to work at

he's now at harvard usc medical center. cnn's kyung lah is there reporting out the latest. >> reporter: we're getting the latest information from the authorities. his condition, the very latest that we're learning is that he is in serious condition at harvard ucla medical center. serious condition. we don't have any more details other than that, that you reported, that he has leg injuries. we are now learning that he is in serious condition. so, let's back up on exactly how all of this happened. as you were just saying, jake, about 7:22, fire crews were called of a single vehicle rollover. you are look at the vehicle. you can see how serious this crash was. this roadway, according to our weather department, the conditions, normally it's a little socked in at the beach. it was clear. the conditions this morning, it was clear. we don't have any information about the speed that he was driving, but we are hoping to learn much more in the next couple of hours. the l.a. county sheriff's department has announced there will be a ne

hi, i'm eric ruben, i'm at the harvard th school of public health, brigham women's hospital. >> thank you. doctor. >> doctor. >> i'm here. i'm here. good morning. i'm president of a medical college and professor of internal medicine and virologist and study the responses that clear the viruses from our system. thank you. >> thank you. dr. portnoy. >> good morning. i'm dr. jay portnoy. i'm professor of pediatrics at university of missouri kansas city school after allergy immunologist in kansas city, missouri and today serving as a consumer representative. >> thank you. doctor. >> good morning, my name is jeanette lee, i'm professor at university of medical sciences arkansas. thank you. >> you have to unmute yourself, dr. sawyer: we can't hear you. >> try again, sorry. mark sawyer, professor of pediatric infectious disease at university of california san diego and the children's hospital in san diego. >> thank you, doctor sawyer. dr. watson. >> good morning, i'm melinda bordon-- i'm an adult infectious disease physician by training. >> thank you. doctor. >> good morning. my name is levy

now there are those who give all credit to that talented harvard dude who came right out here to where we are, and he captured the imagination of the world with his 1902 novel the virginian. it was he who turned the american cowboy and that word was an epithet, you know, and it still used that way, sometimes, you know, cowboy, foreign policy, cowboy diplomacy, but when you said cowboy you meant a wild, rowdy uncontrolled element in your society. well, suddenly he makes the cowboy into an american centar, i'm looking at you, professor warren. he's always so riveted by my comments. it's like the kid in class who pretends that you're his favorite professor and, of course, he's always on his phone facebooking while he's in your class. anyway. i took -- i took professor warren's phone away from him before we began. it was worcester who turned the american cowboy into a national symbol. all it be with considerable help from, of course our hero william f. cody, from frederick rimmington to the cowboy president himself, the real cowboy president theodore roosevelt. all cowboy presidents go to

i teach a class on happiness at the harvard business school. i talk about this all the time, the epidemic of loneliness. it threatens all of us. especially where social media is degrading the quality of our relationships right and left, people will turn to these media and will affiliate with groups and identify with people that are really not helping them. they will crowd out the relationships we create, and that is one of the most polarizing forces in our society today, in our politics today. the work that steve does with the national conflict resolution center is important because it uses a model of reconciliation between human beings and scales it up to what we can do. there is a lot to be sent to the idea that america is like a couple of rocks. we treat each other with contempt and roll our eyes and express hatred when we should simply express disagreement. the key point is this that steve is bringing up and the lonely people tearing us apart at these fringes that they demonstrate as well, there is a long study that was run, a harvard adult

law school credit most of the managing attorney at the harvard immigration and refugee clinical program. an estimate and today we have distinguished guest. [inaudible] democratic federalism in migration the authors i just mentioned a free to move. it's also the author of democracy and political ignorance smaller government smarter and the grasping hand the city of new london. had articles los angeles times near times really had thrilled to have professor selman here to talk about his book. the way the structure of the webinar will work as will hand things over to professor selman in a minute to talk a little bit more about his book. and then we will have a q&a question and answer period at the end of the presentation for you should feel free to put in your question or comments in the q&a feature at the bottom of the zoom screen. so with that, i will turn it over to professor solomon. >> think it's a much for having me. speak with the clinic which does such great work. an officer what read about in the book, freedom to move. as with refugees and international migration rates. so this poi

in the world and it is only through seeing the war develop and then, his last couple of years at harvard, focusing on his studies, and then his naval service. i think he becomes more serious person in understanding how the world works. >> so in world war ii ends, and fdr has died and he dies in april, and the world changes and we enter into a new phase in the relationship between the kennedys and roosevelts. because now the primary relationship becomes between eleanor roosevelt, who is the most powerful woman in america, certainly one of the most famous women in the world. had a major force in the democratic party. so their political careers, start to intersect. and it really happens when kennedy becomes a senator, and eleanor has different political views than he does. so do you want to talk about how that evolved? >> i think that you can correct me if i'm off on this, but i think a large bit of the early schism with revolves around senator mccarthy. and senator mccarthy's relationship with the kennedy's, and even when the senate votes to censor mccarthy, and kennedy had a speech ready

and some of that was intentional in terms of his research for his thesis at harvard and he ultimately turns at this into a book. they don't realize that it -- he looks at what is the buildup to later, i think it informs his view of the cold war. how do you respond? so it's an interesting time. >> interesting, lee that book -- john f. kennedy gave a copy of that book to franklin roosevelt and jfk signed it. and franklin roosevelt signed it. so we have a few collected rare books and other things, that's one of our most precious of possessions is the those two signatures on the book. you may not know the story, it's one of my favorite anecdotes, in 1940 when kennedy came back from europe, he came to visit the fdr library, which is under construction and didn't open until 1940, one but it was under construction and he left a gift for fdr. >> really? >> and we have the note -- a copy of the thank you know that fdr wrote to jfk and it sort of a scramble that note, it's a little hard to read. but it appears to say thank you for the machine gun and goggles. >> oh, really! >> everyone was sort

for example i would not send anyone to harvard 20 years ago already. sorry harvard.ut with the little bit of research and forethought you can find a wonderful stuff on the web. you get a terrific education. you have to find some lisa get a good education. >> will thank you all very much, thank you very, very much indeed. let me conclude by this observation. the economic historian robert gordon points out in his really magisterial book the rise and fall that the and norma's spur of prosperity from 1870 to 1970 the american century that prosperity that gross growth has slowed and stagnated as we face the consequences of economic inequality especially in the heartland of fiscal deficits of social breakdown and especially deficient education. one principle because of that deficiency comes in the politicization of work college degree less and less resembles an intellectual entertainment becomes a political performance ritual. what will this mean for future? will that is the question that john, and scott, and anna have tried to answer and it now belongs to you to decide ho

megan greene, harvard 30 school senior fellow.t to pick up an appointment and made. -- on a point megan made. debt has exploded, so has forbearance. there are debts that have not been paid that need to be paid. the be interesting to see the portion of the savings that gets used to pay off the debt. tom: why can't they use one point x trillion to help with the rents for the landlord to open crushed? lisa: i will put the politics aside. speaking of people saving this money to pay back the debt that has accumulated, this is what jared bernstein, advisor to present biting said when he came on the show -- the president biden said when he came on the show. perhaps we are overestimating the savings. how much goes into discretionary spending and how much his pent-up repayment to all of the debts that have built up? how much of this is removed from dynamism and goes instead to maintaining the status quo. jonathan: we have to put you on the spot. will we get inflation or archway? -- or aren't we? lisa: that is the big debate. people do not

that meet the trauma center criteria and he was transported to the nearest trauma center which is harvardhospital. >> can you tell us if you had injuries other than his leg? >> he was not airlifted in there was no other life danger in injuries to my knowledge. >> i know it's a little early, any indication of the speed at the time the vehicle lost control, all the reporters saying going down the hill he was going 50 plus -- [inaudible question] >> the time across the center divider to the point was several hundred feet away, obviously that indicates they were going at a relatively greater speed than normal. however, because it's downhill in his slopes it curves that area has a high-frequency of accidents, it is not uncommon. [inaudible question] >> no skidmarks, no breaking, the first contact with the center median and from there across into the opposing lane of traffic hit the curve, hit a tree and there was several rollovers during that process. [inaudible question] >> that's why the track traffic investigators make the big bucks they make. [inaudible question] >> we reached out we've be

it is fortuitous he ended up at harvard ucla because that's a great hospital. appreciate your time. >> if no one knows how to recover and come back it is tiger woods. doctor mark siegel says based on what we know now he is optimistic tiger will recover. >> you can never count tiger woods out, even that he came back from that spinal fusion is almost unheard of the he was winning tournaments after that, you can never count them out, golf is not like football but for him to go back to professional golfing would be very difficult but he could recover from this. todd: fellow golfers sending their well wishes and we will continue to follow the story all morning long and bring you any updates as soon as they are available. >> protests in rochester, new york after a grand jury declined to charge police officers in the death of daniel prude. >> this is not what we wanted. until there is justice in the system they will get no peace from us. todd: prude died after losing consciousness during a mental health emergency, several officers were suspended from the force followi

planned parenthood, universities with massive endowments, harvard. harvard with billions of dollars in endowments will get money in this. but to help the children for depression and anxiety? there's an opportunity to do that. this isn't a relief bill. it takes care of democrat's political allies while it fails to deliver for american families. that's why i'll be voting no on the pelosi payoff bill. we already know what is the best stimulus plan out there. to fully reopen our economy. to do that, we need our economy back to work, back to school and back to health. we will spend 91% of paying after your allies, it doesn't do that. we need blue state governors to lift their nonscience based lockdowns. we need schools to reopen. we need to ramp up vaccine distribution so we can crush this virus. the democrat bill won't do any of that and the most unfortunate part of this, we had a history of producing bipartisan bills in a time of crisis. we had a history of working together. but that all changed. now it's decided something much different. with that, i o

lead up to world war ii, and some of that was intentional in terms of his research for his thesis at harvard. and he ultimately turns that thesis into a book, "why england slept." and i don't know it pays that much attention to his father's role in that. but he looks at what is the buildup to later. i think it informs his view of the cold war and how do you respond, so it's an interesting time. >> interestingly that book, john f. kennedy gave a copy of the book to franklin roosevelt, and jfk signed it and franklin roosevelt signed it. we have a few collected rare books and other things, and that's one of our most precious possessions. you may not know this story. it's one of my favorite antecdotes. in 1940 when kennedy came back from europe, he came to visit the fdr library which was under construction at the time. it didn't open until 1941, but it was under construction. and he left a gift for fdr, and we have the thank you -- a copy of the thank you note that fdr wrote to jfk, and it's sort of a scribbled note. it's a little hard to read, but it appears to say thank you for the machine gun

i taught at harvard for 50 years. i am making that argument that the president's speech was protected. how dare you say no reasonable scholar or jurist would make that argument? how dare you say it would be unethical for a lawyer to raise that argument? it's an attempt to intimidate scholars. it's an attempt to intimidate lawyers. it is not the american way to try to silence people who disagree with you. host: sam on the democrats line. sam in reston, virginia, go ahead. caller: my question to mr. alan dershowitz is how in the world we can get a fair trial while the jury is working with the defense and the jury is coming out clearly supporting the defense? what kind of trial can be get? guest: let's understand the whole context. the trial is presided over by senators who have expressed their views. verdict first, trial after. the jurors are not only witnesses, they are victims of what happened in the capital. this is not a fair trial. yes, republicans made up their mind. if they go the wrong way, they get sanctioned.
