jamestown l.p. have been great partner and have the community's interest first of mind and i'd like to encourage your support of the project. >> commissioner: thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm here representing peter and monica lee who live at 2927 larkin the highlighted property immediately adjacent to this site. and with the original proposal for the site by jamestown we were very concerned about the impacts on their privacy, light and air and we've met with planning and with jamestown multiple times and they -- i'm happy to say have been responsive to our concerns and we appreciate they listened to us and made meaningful modifications. and as mr. perry pointed out, there were modifications to the west elevation to protect their privacy and light and air. so if you decide to approve this project we hope that you will adopt the plan in front of you because it's something my clients can live with and the changes are really appreciated. thank you. >> thank you. is there anyone else from the pub

had it not been for the indians the jamestown colony may have disappeared. and the ceiling in the capitol designed by thomas jefferson, the ceiling is circled by gold embossed tobacco leaves and we restored the capitol and we restored the embossing because we understand that tobacco helped modern virginia. in the city of richmond, where i was mayor, produced one of the largest machines factories in the world, in south richmond over decades has been a fantastic employer of local virginians, local residents. i was proud as governor to work on tobacco initiatives because of the leader indicates as we have become more aware of public health consequences there have been more need to try to stem the challenges that these health consequences create. as i was governor i worked in tandem with my republican speaker of the house to ban smoking in restaurants and bars, which was a tough, tough sell at the time back in 2009, but we made it happen. probably my happiest day as governor vis-a-vis tobacco was the day where i went to chesterfield county in suburban richmond a

as was noted in the film, in 1607 the jamestown colony was founded. the first permanent english settlement. it was dying off. jamestown was a swamp then and it is a swamp now with great facilities today. it has even gone to the point of cannibalism it had even gotten to the point of cannibalism. in 1619, men and women arrived. the mayflower landed in 1620. within this group, we had rise up in african couple mary and anthony johnson. they gained their freedom, purchase land and had servants, white and black servants of their own. what i like to tell my students is people will list on the side the things professor says and i will look up later. there's no problem with you taking notes. law is evidence-based and you should be able to find the evidence of what i say. however, during this time. we also have lawmakers and people who own the property. and they wanted to of course wanted to extend their buffet margins. they did this by limiting the rights of africans in the colony. although property ownership was one of the major reasons why a person could vo

that was 1908 when john smith and wentrom jamestown to the native american village on the banks of the anacostia. >> let's focus on the early american. --- american period. what was the makeup at the time? prof. musgrove: once congress got here in 1800, it was 20% african-american. tobacco carved out of plantation counties. they were plantations in the middle of the city today. there was already a large black population in the area. as folks decided to employ slaves, and in certain cases, free blacks on the construction projects building the capital, that population remained constant through the end of the antebellum. -- antebellum period. >> how many were free compared to those who were enslaved? prof. musgrove: when congress comes to town in 1800, the vast majority are enslaved. that changes rapidly, largely because of changes in agriculture in maryland and virginia. by 1830, about half of the african-americans are free and. -- free. notcco exhausted soil was supporting plantation slavery in the way it could. many were switching to grain. grain doesn't require as much labor as tobacc

it will add to the rental stock and i appreciate the concessions jamestown has made for neighbors around the new buildings but for me i have a couple concerns. the quality of my life during the demolition and construction which seems to be something happening generally around san francisco right now. my loss of income during demolition and construction. the structural integrity of my property which is immediately adjacent. >> commissioner: can you speak into the mic, miss. >> it's immediately adjacent to one of the buildings. as for the quality of life, it's going to take approximately 18 months from the start of demolition to the final approves. during demolition the dust and debris will make it difficult to be in my house during the daytime and during construction they'll be going non ststop. i depend on the rental to supplement my teacher's requirement and it may be impossible to rent my house even in this market for 18 months of demolition and construction. most of all, it's the structural integrity of my property. hi -- my house is plaster and though they peered down the side of the

that is what happened in jamestown. they let them survive. richard: the other thing with strangers -- charles: that is a mass reaction. richard: and curiosity. you look different from me. can i touch your hair? charles: they are always reporting that that the indians, they cvs bristly beard -- they these bristly beards and want to touch them. they were fascinated. richard: this notion that they are prehistoric or into historical, that they belong in a reservation rather than los angeles, the person comes to los angeles who is therefore hispanic, a child of spain, not the indian -- are we ever going to teach a generation of children to think of their indian self as the accurate, or -- are we caught in this impossible history? charles: you look at the records and you read what is there, the maya, there are zillions out there still -- they were never conquered. when you go to -- i will give you an example. researching this book we went there, and i went to see this incredibly beautiful place it my son and i are driving back to san cristobal. it

host: gil in jamestown north carolina -- jamestown, north carolina.ow is the attorney general handling all of this? caller: good morning. i wanted to make a comment before i get to mr. barr. rod rosenstein just tendered his resignation so, in terms of getting to the truth and cooperating -- corroborating conversations between rosenstein now that mr. rosenstein has tendered his , i believe congressman nadler should ask rosenstein to come in and testify. keep in mind that robert mueller had to report to rosenstein for 22 months. whereas mr. barr has only been the attorney general for less than three months. the attorney general has said the mueller report is his baby. if i can make an analogy, mr. rosenstein was the ob/gyn who monitored the just station of this investigation -- just -- gestation. mr. robert mueller and rosenstein need to both testify so that we can got to the truth -- get to the truth. host: there's news on that front. c-span's capitol hill producer is tweeting out that the senate judiciary is set to vote on jeffrey rosen to replace rod

it's in that spirit of what happened in 1619, 400 years ago in jamestown that we stand up.ember our ancestor ssancestors and push back. >> thank you congressman. >>> up next, i agree with vice president mike pence. you heard it right and i'll explain after the break. and il explain after the break. this is anne marie peebles of la jolla, california. her saturday movie marathons are a never-ending montage of comfort. tv sfx: where have you been all my life? namaste? namaste right here on the couch. but then anne laid on a serta perfect sleeper. and realized her life was only just... sorta comfortable. where have you been all my life? not just sorta comfortable. serta comfortable. kiss your old mattress goodbye and save on the all-new serta perfect sleeper. can't see what it is yet.re? what is that? that's a blazer? that's a chevy blazer? aww, this is dope. this thing is beautiful. i love the lights. oh man, it's got a mean face on it. it looks like a piece of candy. look at the interior. this is nice. this is my sexy mom car. i would feel like a cool dad. it's just really ch

>> well, when i was in jamestown i got a lot of practice. the yard goes down a lot on that. so -- glad that happened for you guys. >> so i had made a little joke with him because i could feel his embarrassment and i wanted to just try to lighten it up a little bit. did you arrange for that, stefan? >> can't say that i did. all right. that was a lot of fun. okay. where was i? >> parro went on to tell us that in order to survive in corcoran he had to understand corcoran. >> you know, at the beginning, when i was facing the 41 months i thought how in the hell am i going to make it? i didn't see myself as being a part of this community. it is a community. no matter how dysfunctional it is. no matter how bizarre and asinine and ridiculous and stupid. it is very stupid. there's a lot of rules here that are enforced by inmates. >> many of those inmate-enforced rules revolve around racial politics. >> a lot of people here have affiliation with gangs. they ask me who i run with? i run with teachers and librarians usually. when i find them, i will run with them. i haven't found too ma

it was sort of the quest, the territory that began really from the arrival of columnists in jamestown and later plymouth , began a long history of conflict and the struggle for the possession of the land in north america. and the railroad may have accelerated, they certainly facilitated it. i wouldn't argue with that a bit but in a sense, they were just part and parcel of this longer process in larger struggle that would've taken place whether or not the railroads were ever built >> if you look at your map in 1870 and in 1890, there were still large tracts of land owned by the plains indians and others in the hope that they made keep large parts of the land and the railroad in 1890 was bisecting the land. i agree, i'm not putting it out but it's an important factor. >> there was a series of treaties and the most important person was fort laramie in 1851 that established the large tracts of land to the north but as time went on and as you have more people moving out to the planes on wagon trains and not on the railroad, but as you have more and more people out there settling on the lan

gary, good morning, jamestown, what's your take? it would be conditional for me.ow much of these projects are spent for contractor claims for additional costs? you know, these contractors are in a hurry to do the work here. dakota, grading a road, they will try to get that done as fast as they can, they are probably not getting proper compaction, it's too wet. too wet in the winter. you spend all of that money, you get a rough riding road. two or three years down the road -- you have to build it over again, spend the same amount of money. i would like to see more accountability when these things are built. that's my comment. thank you for the call. when did your state last raise taxes? mississippi, the last time they did it was 1989, before the berlin wall came down. 32 states raised their taxes since 2010. 12 states have gone to decades or more without an increase. the last time alaska raised its taxes, you have to back to richard nixon, when he was in the white house. we are again talking about the federal tax on gasoline that has often raised since bill clinton

from let's talk to lena jamestown, new york.st: i -- caller: i think people should have their own choice. rapedwhat if someone was and did not know they were pregnant and all of a sudden to have that happen. this is a choice for the mother. have does the equality act anything to do with choice? guest: the equality act ensures andq people and women people of color and faith have the opportunity to go to a medical care facility and not experienced discrimination, not receive unequal care. host: let's talk to marty from wyoming. he opposes the equality act. . caller: it is a she but that's all right. we just had this bill in the wyoming state legislature. we asked the proponents to define sexual orientation. does your bill define sexual orientation and does it contemplate any future permutations of sexual orientation? we understand the american psychiatric association is on the verge of deleting pedophilia from the dsm, navy get a sexual orientation -- naming it a sexual orientation. does this bill contemplate future iterations of

with you are difficult to hear but they are facts. 400 years ago, 20 african-americans arrived in jamestown arrived. thomas jefferson said they have no tenderness and love, they are inferior, and they're unattracti unattractive. plaque people were said to only be good for physical play, inhuman, and violent. from the beginning of our country's inception to the constitution, the founding fathers knowingly and consciously embraced slavery and white supremacy. in 1857, the supreme court in the dredd-scott decision said black people have no rights that white people need respect. ultimately slavery ended. the reconstruction era happened. black men could vote, and then politics reared its ugly head once again. federal troops were withdrawn from the south in order to place rutherford b. hayes in the presidency, and the reign of terror in the south began again. i'm a southerner. the ku klux klan came about. they were white spremtist -- supremacists. for many years women were not allowed to vote. fast-forward to 1864. our fellow texan got the civil rights law passed, but when it passed, he said we h

but, it does for example, exploration start in 1607 with the british planting at jamestown, or 1523 when the spanish get to the coast of florida. and what about those french who were canoeing up and down the rivers in the centers of the country. clearly women experienced all this on the timeline, but it is important to note that the impact of the same event on men and women could be different. american suffers in norma's devastation and disruption during the second world war. but it was also a period of great opportunities for white and black women. all those riveting rosie's who worked in the war industries when they needed equal pay, the increasing number of women in the american workforce starts at pearl harbor and has never declined. and that is an honestly important when you think about the changes in women's lives, women having a paycheck. changes their status. on your own timeline and the handout you might also consider different dividers on the same timeline. women's lives before and after access to higher education. before and after passage of the 19th amendment. before and afte
