yeah, katie. >> [indiscernible] that jacobs and celia had, at least jacobs had her grandmother and other family members. and was in sort of this not so isolated area where her ability to had the protect her and she could appeal to her white lover to protector, her, but celia did not have that. she had george maybe. >> [indiscernible] any rolet really have models to look up to. and given the fact that she was so much more isolated in her environment. >> good. what about other folks? how would you compare these two women? these artifacts i put up, not by accident. on the left you have the title page from jacobs's book. on the right, we have a justice writing ofe's celia's testimony. but -- i think maybe i have -- that was not it. here. down on the right, you can see the x. are there differences? yeah, andrea? >> [indiscernible] celia couldn't. she would have added different outcome for child or not. -- for a trial or not. >> good. >> harriet jacobs was obviously written by herself, so her story we kind of know. celia's story is what we know from court cases and testimonies, which can be qu

jacobs that eludes us in celia's. case case.celia's her testimony, her confession, we realize that this came through a very complex channel before it comes to us. narrates the story. a justice of the peace listens to the story, writes his own interpretation, if you will, of her words. we are right to be skeptical about this sort of artifact, precisely because we know celia herself could not read and review the document, even though somehowggests she assented to the document. a number of you mentioned isolation. here are isolation in celia's story takes a number of forms, doesn't it? she lives in a small town where she has regular access -- we will come back to her family, but in the course of her freeo-day life, african-americans, other white people in edenton, jacobs has a kind of world that becomes critical to understanding how tor andists the doc ultimately how she escapes. it is that proximity to other people. contrast, you are absolutely right. what her life was like, we can't say. we do not know. we certainly kn

jacobs is someone for whom jacobs plays a key role.or us we know the literacy is of extraordinary consequence. we have not only her narrative in the life of a slave i girl. we have her correspondence over many years. we are able to recover in a sense a kind of nuance, interiority that eludes us in celia's case in part because celia is at a distance from writing. her testimony or confession. we recognize that this text has come through some very complex channels before it arrives to us. celia narrates a story. a justice of the peace listens to the story. writes his own interpretation if you will of her words. then celia signs with an x. we are right to be skeptical about this sort of artifact because we know celia herself could not read and review the document. even as the x suggests she somehow assented to its content. literacy is an important piece. a number of you mentioned isolation. here isolation in celia's story takes a number of oh forms, doesn't it? on the one hand, we could contrast her experience with that of jacobs who lives

>> the differences in the support systems that jacobs and celia had, that at least jacobs had her grandmotherther family members and sort of was in this not so isolated area where her grandmother had the position in the community to protect her and she could appeal to her white lover to protect her and celia didn't have that she had george, maybe, but not as much of a support system. >> yeah. >> going off of that, celia was like the oldest one and she didn't really have the role model to look up to and she also had her kids to take care of. and the fact that she was so much more isolated in such a rural environment, she was kind of all on her own. >> good. what about other folks? how would you compare these two women. on the left you have the title page from jacobs' book. and on the right, we have a justice of the peace's writing of celia's testimony. here, down on the right, you can see the x. other differences? >> to go along with that, there's also that harriet jacobs did do her memoir and celia couldn't couldn't, that comes into play of whether she would have had a different outcome for h

maarse, i wish jacob could be here, because i'm sure jacob would throw me out.ut the difference is is that i don't think things would be this way if jacob was here. hank, look, if you continue to do the same thing, your business is gonna close at some point. i know that she can afford to write checks forever because she doesn't want her husband and her name-- >> absolutely. >> okay, mrs. maarse, what i'm telling you is, if you continue to write the checks on a monthly basis, he will never have to fend for himself. he needs someone like me to hold him accountable for poor performance. i don't think you're willing to do that, and i understand why. but i have to tell you that that's not the way to run the business. so i'm gonna give you my offer. >> okay. >> okay? i'm gonna give you a check for 100,000. for this $100,000, i want 25% of the profit so that i'm incentivized to help you grow your business with you side by side. >> i was thinking more of 20%. >> hank, look, my time is valuable. i don't have time to be doing this all night. 25% is really the number that

what does the jacob sexton bill do?>> well, what it does is we're trying to prevent any more young men and women who are serving in active duty or in the guards or in reserves. and so there's an annual mental health assessment each and every year, not only for those in the deployment cycle, but for those at home as well. and what we're trying to do is make it a sign of strength that you can talk to somebody rather than a stigma. it provides privacy protections for when you're talking to somebody. and additionally on top of that what we're trying to do is put in best practices. i went to israel last year to meet with a general from the israeli defense forces. and patrick, they have a real bottoms up approach that the platoon commanders that your fellow members of your platoon, that they can come up and say, listen, you know, it's probably time to talk to somebody. one of the things that jeff told me was when they had the services for jake that jeff had talked to some of jake's fellow battle buddies and said look you know

we will come back a little bit to talk about jacobs in comparison to our case today, that of celia. we also talked about wpa narratives, and one of the things we noticed is the extent some issues, including sexual violence -- violence generally, and sexual violence in particular -- was rather muted in the slave narratives. here we have the opportunity to take another pass at this question, to try to see this dimension of slavery through the experience of celia. so, why do i say "try to see this dimension of slavery?" as you have all begun to see in your readings for today, there are many ways in which the record and the evidence upon which we rely to discover, explore, and understands the case of celia is a challenging record to make use of. part of our work today will be to talk about the evidence in the celia case, how it is we recover from what is in essence the record of a trial -- rather fragmentary, carefully, but idiosyncratically assembled testimonies, written and oral, arguments and conclusions of judges. that, mixed with newspaper reportage, some demographic material like
