i want to know, since we talked about henry winston this evening, henry winston story does not stop in60s, it moves forward and henry winston in 1973 was the driving force behind an organization called the national anti-imperialist movement and solidarity. and they helped to lead the domestic movement against the part-time south africa, there was another communist, shirley mitchell who helped find political repression, and thought forward for freedom for political prisoners throughout the 70s and 80s and i said the idea communist ceased to be a political force in the 60s, 70s and 80s was not only false but it does not square with historical record, there is so much evidence that documents the role of communist post-1956 but it is a disservice to the historical record but since we live in a capitalist society we would expect otherwise. other questions and comments? >> congratulations. it's an impressive -- a lot of pages in a hundred pages of notes two. so you spent a lot of time researching this. still about 350 pages, i am curious, it seems that you have a lot of stuff packed in. what

the mississippi borne revolutionary henry winston along with top leadership of the communist party usa had recently been indicted and arrested under the provisions of the smith act. it was claimed that the cpusa sought to overthrow the u.s. government by force and violence. they lead costly trial followed. civil liberties farce, the government's evidence consisted of excerpts from books written decades ago, half a world away. the red scare was in full swing and fueled in part by by unsubstantiated claims. winston defended his party. he said, i'm a negro, i have seen lynching and i have experience segregation, brutality of every possible kind, insults and abuses and i have always searched for a program for my people that would liberate them and i shall never forget the fact that it was the communist party, the first organization in this country which offered a program for my people as well as my class. unlike the paid fbi informants winston could not be bought. he fired back at his accusers denouncing the inquisitorses and political charlatans. wall street and park avenue control the sy

henry?around the world, and that is a significant portion of the global population now, i think of the english phrase that we have 'killing with kindness', which is the opposite of what we need to think about. kindness is what will make us survive. in an atmosphere where tempers can easily fray, suspicions can rise, i think we need to have the mutual kindness that will get us through as a society and as a world. i do have a message to those who are leading us on the charge against the coronavirus, and that is, just as you believe your own personal doctor and accept his or her advice for yourself, believe the doctors and the experts on this who tell us the best way to fight the coronavirus. it's not about faith, it's about on the ground experience and science that will get us through. henry, thank you very much. lyse, in the studio? well, i have long been a big believer that good can come out of bad, even though we don't want the bad to happen. this has been a consistent thread through all of

to have you with us, henry. thank you. and thank you so henry. thank you.y. i hope you have a good day and i will see you soon. hello there. on tuesday we had a temperature of 16.5 degrees at kew gardens and in cambridgeshire, making it the warmest day of the year so far. for some southern parts of the uk, the air originated all the way from the azores, hence that bit of warmth. further north, the air is cooler and it's the cooler air that will win out over the next few days. these shower clusters are heading into the north—west of the uk. this band of cloud, all that's left of the earlier rain taking some patchy rain and drizzle southwards into the english channel but keeping temperatures up across southern england and wales. colder air further north, though, and lots of showers packing into scotland and northern ireland. and here we'll have showers or longer spells of rain on wednesday. some heavy bursts of rain and snow of the hills of scotland. some of those hours will be blown into northern england and wales. towards the south—east of the uk, they get

henry clay's first cousin. and then there's thomas ritchie, a late-comer to the jackson camp who had actually been a friend of henry clay back when they were teenagers in richmond, virginia. this picture was taken about 1850 when was the year that during a dinner party thomas ritchie actually admitted to clay that he had never believed the corruption bargain smear. they all, however, fell into the same camp as jackson supporter richard mentor johnson who said at the time that old hickory's men would oppose adams and clay even, quote, if they act as pure as the angels that stand at the respected of the throne of god." david: well, in conclusion, let's recall that the nature of a smear is either to fabricate a believable lie, or bend the truth to the purpose of making credible otherwise unsupportable allegations. in that regard, the construction of a smear is by necessity counter-factual. a truth becomes an obstacle to the smear's purpose or it is made malleable and thus becomes a tool to advance its purpose. at

are you agreeing with iain and henry on that?rom bankers and economists, or do you think it is potentially worse? i'm no economist, but before coronavirus, there was already a recession looming in germany, growth was going down. what happens germany then affects what happens in the rest of euro zone and eu. on top of that, the uncertainties of brexit, it was going to happen this year, how frictionless trade will continue in europe or not. somehow feeding into a situation that was already volatile, and could make it worse. i'm pretty pessimistic, to be honest. the potential upside, the good news, is that if this is relatively brief and the weather warms up and things improve and it does not turn into a pandemic, all the historical evidence is that you then get a very rapid bounce back, and you get a huge surge in demand as people get back to work and life returns to normal. we also have quite a few events on the calendar that people need to peer down the months and see. is there going to be the hajj? is there going to be tokyo oly

coming up, how the acclaimed british sculptor henry moore changed modern art.to the man who wrapped the reichstag in 1995 and a nigerian artist inspired by the oil pollution of her homeland. plus the pioneer who photographed tsarist russia in colour. but first, we go to china, where in 1974 an accidental discovery revealed one of the wonders of the world. a vast terracotta army which lay buried beneath the earth for more than 2,000 years. newsreel: it is a vast pottery army that is slowly being unearthed from the tomb where it has lain for more than 2,000 years. archaeologist li xiuzhen worked on the astonishing find. archaeologist li xiuzhen. now to something more modern. the british artist henry moore revolutionised the world of sculpture during the 20th century, changing the way we see the human body and setting his work in a natural landscape. his daughter, mary moore, talks to us now about her memories of her father and the ideas that inspired him. newsreel: the work of henry moore has been seen in almost every country in the world. he has made a staggerin

and the important architect of this is this man, henry knox. the secretary of war, a boston bookerexperience, decides he cad enough books to know what to do and actually does quite a good job. he becomes secretary of war, both under the articles of confederation and under president washington. in july of 1787, henry knox is shaping a policy of the federation congress and really emphasizes to washington's earlier point of view in 1783 that wars were just too expensive and difficult to execute and peace was the essential path forward. following the inauguration, henry knox was asked to stay on as secretary of war and takes the lead informing the policy. he reports to congress in june and july of that first year, 1789. he spelled out that justice and expediency and peace and negotiation should be the best path forward and that ultimately the land would come set out by white settlers all the same. this is also a good opportunity to mention something that i know lindsay robinson will explore more fully, and that is the american understanding of the

henry knox himself in early proposals encourage the adoption of this practice, of the circulation of peace metals, ls, some ofh -- meda which are distributed. you see george washington in uniform and you see a peace pipe and a tomahawk and emblems of civilization, the plowing of a field and a farmhouse off in the distance. these medals were to be distributed and was constant among american presidents. everyone between washington and benjamin harrison would have some the exception of john adams and william henry harrison. these medals would be distributed and more probably and worn as emblems as a connection. here we see a seneca red jacket wearing his presented to him by washington personally in philadelphia in the early 1790's. all of this talk about cementing relationships, having peaceful relations that would ultimately, gradually moved towards the removal of native peoples westward, i don't want to miss the fact that war was in fact a constant during washington's presidency. i see the struggles in the northwest and places that became ohio and indiana between native americans and

henry clay's role in what his philosophies were?eter: he is an interesting character that comes out of kentucky. so you'd think he would be respecting the southern notion of being opposed to tariffs. but, in fact, he is a protectionist and his really promoting tariffs. in order to get people on board with the idea of tariffs, he argues the american system. which has really three elements to it. one, that you charge these high tariffs that will protect industries. that you create a central bank in order to create an economic system that is easier to have monetary exchange. and this appeals to both manufacturers, and to a degree, it appeals to the southern growers, the plantation owners, because they are, of course, selling their cotton abroad. but he also promotes infrastructure. he says that if we charge these tariffs, if we are taxing americans on these goods, raising the price on the goods, that we will take that money and we will turn around and improve canals. we will build roads. we will make navigation better. and this, in fac

the other book that he wrote was a biography of patrick henry. it appears that it was wort who had henry said, give me liberty or give me death. this is the first time this appears anywhere. a lot of people think that was a quote that wort made up. it sounded like something henry might have said if he had thought too. that is the first appearance of that quote. in any event -- this is another trivial piece. maybe sort of interesting. the story that i had always heard as an indian lawyer was that wort represented the cherokee nation for free. i mentioned that to one of chief hopkins' predecessors and he said, actually, we have got his bill.
