, this auditorium that we are in was named for langston hughes and he certainly spent many many years here at the schomburg library doing research, contributing original pieces of pork to our collection so we certainly have been abetted from his life and his legacy. chicago also had a dark side and there is a slide that i can turn to. it should be number 11. that will illustrate a little bit of that. part of this history, what makes this a hard story is the racial violence, sexual abuse, the forward and backwards of african-americans from slavery to freedom. it turns out that in chicago wasn't so different from the south after all and some unexpected ways for those ancestors of michelle obama, and i want to just sort of think out loud about something that historians called southern exceptionalism. that is the way in which we remember this pass through the charred memories of jim crow, slavery. and even today, the 21st century collective imagination of what racism really is, what it was really about, the harm that it really did and about everything that happens, not in places like new

then along comes john hughes to do it for me. and do it with a greater degree of quality and thoroughness than i could have accomplished on my own. i can count the number of hours that he interviewed me directly but that was only the tip of the iceberg. he knows more about my remote ancestors than i did. and he talked to friends and colleagues and opponents and enemies. i learned a great deal by reading the draft and the book itself. i learned things that were absolutely true that i didn't tell him because i had forgotten them. but beyond that i learned things that i never knew. i am short obviously it were the case. so i have been blessed by wonderful good fortune in not having found john but having john find me. and evans and i agree that in most respects the aberdeen daily world editorial board was the one we were most interested in visiting because everyone was simply interested in a learning what we were about and not debating the -- that point. extremely fortunate to have him for what he has done and now in my process -- i

assumed he would be, but he was a very awkward kid raised in the church and assessed with howard hughes. as one of larry's friends told me this guy is out there somewhere where the buses don't go. that was their impression of larry. he furthered this impression by saying odd things to people like his best friends he told he was going to make a lot of money and live far away and never talk to them again, which his best friend some sort of took offense to ancillary fault that this was totally acceptable. he told them he was going to make a lot of money and catholics don't get a divorce and he didn't want to get half of his fortune to a catholic girl, to a woman. he told them he wanted to be an actor and wanted to be an evangelist said he would study jimmy swaggart late at night and he got the picture of his always said he could study how this man manipulated and hypnotized people with his eye is. he also will fight his mother for some reason. he would tell friends about all these wonderful things he would do like hayrides and he had to keep his job at cambridge which is about three and ha

they said, "holly hughes is a lesbian, and her work is very heavily of that genre." and, you know, i can't really disagree with that. i mean, i am a lesbian. my work is about that. i just didn't realize it was a genre, and maybe i want my own category of funding, like landscape painting or macrame plant hangers or something like that. but it was really about targeted homophobia, and--although, as i say that, i feel like, "i hope jesse helms would not like my work." then i'd really have to commit suicide. it is controversial, and it is provocative, and i think that should have a place in a country that pretends to be a democracy. even at the time of the controversy, homoerotic work was among the work banned, right? that language was used? yes. in '89, i believe, there was a statute passed that said the n.e.a. couldn't fund work that could be considered obscene, and they gave you, like, a checklist in case you didn't know what that meant, and homoeroticism was on the checklist. so they went after artists in this medium that were openly gay. when you put together this b

senator hughes, what is the latest status of the case, the trial in pennsylvania?, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be with you. essentially, things kind of wrapped up today. the judge is predicting, i believe, the week of august 13th, to render a decision. what we know so far, and everything that we followed in the proceedings is that it hasn't gone very well for the state, capped off by the secretary of state's comments that you just referred to. there's been some very compelling testimony from anecdotal stories, especially by those individuals who filed the suit. miss applewhite, miss gonzalez, miss lee talking about all kinds of issues that they've had to go through with respect to trying to get their identification. and we need to be clear, this is -- this law is simply a voter suppression move. it is a return to a poll tax. it is partisan in nature, but it is absolutely a return to a poll tax. people are having to spent hundreds of dollars to try to locate their appropriate identification, largely their birth certificates. they're having to go throu

holly hughes here with us. first of all, holly, this is disturbing on so many levels. right. >> it's very disturbing. >> of course it is. and this is one of those cases that illustrates for us the fine line between abuse and discipline. and this little girl is saying he used it as a form of discipline, but if what she is alleging happened, happened, it's straight-up abuse and that's why he's charged with multiple felonies, he and his wife. >> that is remarkable, actually, that his wife simply stood by and watched this happen. >> right. >> so what about her? she's an accomplice, essentially? >> yes. basically, it's what we call party to a crime. and the whole concept is real easy. in for a penny, in for a pound. so if you're going to stand around and you're going to watch this occur and you're going to sort of encourage it by not interrupting it, yes, she's charged with the exact same thing he is, because she also has a duty to that child, to protect and safeguard. >> so what's amazing, an 11-year-old girl, she's 11 years old, she has a 5-year-old sister. so where are t
