the monarchs -- i already mentioned jackie robinson played briefly for the monarchs before he went to the dodgers. but the monarchs played for 37 seasons. they won a dozen league championships. they sent more players than any other team to the major leagues. the st. louis stars on the other side of our state, originally the st. louis giants, played 12 seasons. they won the league championship in 1928 and 1930 and 1931. but the real focus of the exhibit here this week was the homestead grays. now, where did the homestead grays come from i think i already mentioned that they were celebrating the anniversary of winning the world series in 1943. the homestead grays were based originally in homestead, pennsylvania, just outside of pittsburgh. but in 1940 and 1941 and 1942 they played at least half of their games here in washington, when the washington senators were traveling, senator nelson, they would -- the ballpark would be available and the homestead grays would play games there. by 1943 they were playing about two-thirds of their games in washington. and generally they had more people

jackie robinson cracked the color line only after landis' death in 1944. some blaming the delay on the judge but the men of that time are dead and many records are lost or gone and research tells me and the lack of any other reason confirms that the hall of fame committee's refusal to admit franklin delano roosevelt stem from political and personal revulsion. political and ideological bias against his liberal policies and persona. he is always telling us that he was as conservative as landis but appalled by the shameful treatment of fdr who just on the game who knew have you saved it. the committee snub shown by politics left or right have no place in baseball's most sacred site and it also ignores the fact that without roosevelt baseball cannot of survived the war. spurning the 32nd president marked the 16 million uniformed americans who served in world war ii. who can doubt that if asked they would have overwhelmingly cried yes to their commander-in-chief admission to cooperstown and to honor them and to post to mislead in duct fdr now would be a great a

that the plaque footbal the bla, you said protest is something thayou look at jackie robinson n sportsand you say, these surprise was that is departmen done work thi, they misread historic moment, they were not speaking truth to power, they were figures of pathos, mindedly loyal on a black ir identity that had run s course, you say, protest is sometimes necessary to get votes and equal rights. but this one fell on deaf ears. >> well, protest is central to the evolution of black american culture. it was protest that really finally won our freedom for us. beyond that, it, it interesting to note that it expanded the idea of democracy. democracy had all theory thinking, before had never dealt with the clash between race and racism and democracy. well it was civil right movement, it was martin luther king who said you have to take go beyond race even, that democracy is universal. so that is a big part of the black american identity. and it is sort of seen as the test of your authenticity as a black, yet this protest in nfl made the point this was fruitless at-this-point. and i think that ce

so he is like jackie robinson on the first african-american to do this i don't just do it but do it twice is good as a white person would have to intake this thinking my head down. late in his presidency he started to find new ways to talk about this he visited a prison, with criminal justice reform, he found a voice to talk about the that was different am part of that was we were not worried about the financial crisis anymore. >> who was more surprised by donald election barack or michelle or you? >> i was most surprised. >> they were not surprised? >> no. i think they were a little surprised. [laughter] but i think that it was white people who got barack obama's election and how a white person did not fully appreciate working for the first african-american president. >> please ask your question in the form of a question back. >> i'm sorry this is such a narrow question but late in the obama years and part of hillary clinton's campaign they would ask differences of approach to syriac compared to the presidency and her answer was for example i would enforce the no-fly zone. is that just t

he -- i describe it is he wad a jackie robinson ethought, i'm the first african-american to do this so i just have to do this job, twice as good as, like, a white person would have to, and i have to take all this stuff and keep my head down. late in his presidency he found new ways to talk about this. look at the speech of charleston, went into a prison, his efforts in criminal justice reform. he found a voice to talk about these things the year or two that was different, and part of it was i think experience and part of is was we don't have the financial crisis anymore. >> who was more surprised by donald trump's election, president barack obama, michelle obama or you. >> i was more surprised. >> they were not surprised. >> no. the i think they war little surprised. i think that, like -- i tried to be candid net book. was white people who thought that barack obama's lex would transform race in america, not largely african-american people. certainly not the obamas. they never believed that because they've lived the experience of being african-american in this country. so he was far mow
