josiah henson was strong, but in the show he was a weak man. josiah was middle-aged. the uncle tom in the show was old and shuffled. he was turned into instead of somebody heroic, into a baa foon. while that first uncle tom really made him even more famous throughout england, canada, and the united states, that second notion, i mean, the shows were the most popular form of entertainment, and so that notion of what an uncle tom was took over and was completely the opposite of who henson was. >> and how did mr. henson respond to that negative reaction to what he at one point claimed in terms of being the inspiration? >> he had always when he was introduced in speeches said you've been called here today because you think uncle tom is coming. i am not uncle tom. i am josiah henson. he responded to it like he responded to every tragedy of his life. like most strong people do, he just put one foot in front of the other and kept on going. he knew he was a man of faith and integrity. so it really -- plus there were still people who admired him for that. i mean, the reputation

after being defeate defeated 27e final loly lost to josiah. >> welcome to both of you. >> hi, how areome up with this idea to bring the community together through basketball? >> it sort of started with me getting out of my patrol car during my shift and shooting hoops with kids. i started to get positive feedback from that. i thought why not give an incentive of a cheal leng. mchallenge.my challenge is i'lla pair of sneakers if you beat me. i didn't plan on losing. >> clearly you're a formidable opponent. jo sigh disajosiah, you steppedk it to him. what's the secret to your showdown? >> i don't know. what move did you make to score. 27 kids that came before you didn't get it done. >> josiah, what move did you make? >> what move did you make to score? was it a jump shot or a layup? >> say it again. >> i stole the ball from him and shot it over his head. >> not bad. >> shot it over his head and made it. congratulations. officer hanks, since you've been doing this have you seen a positive impact on the way that the community views law enforcement? >> absolutely. and it's been great. it's

josiah and rhonda burgundy.me intricate male genitalia. ( laughter ) so that was -- so that was a bummer. that's not so much a joke as a cautionary tale. ( laughter ) so if you go to ellis island, people, be prepared there's some mean people out there with a sharpie drawing penises where it says country of origin. so true story. ( laughter ) here's one i'm going to leave you with, two guys walk into a bar, a gay guy and a straight guy. ( laughter ) the gay guy says to the bartender, i'd like to order a drink. the bartender is a mexican guy and he says, what'll you have? meanwhile, down the bar is a chinese lady. ( laughter ) just minding her business, but before anyone can order, in walks a black guy, and he walks right up to the bar all calm and cool. now, the straight guy takes a look at what's going on and he turns to the table behind him, which is a table full of jews and a catholic bree priest. now, if you thought i was going to the a racist joke, you had another thing coming. this is new york city, folks,

. >> i am patrick josiah bell with the bay view on his area. i am really opposed to the city bill and compliance. i have asked them about who does the compliant -- -- compliance for the hiring for the minority. i have been informed that they don't have anybody that really goes out to check. to see if the contractors are doing more than "a good faith effort." i think a good faith effort is a bunch of crap. it is what minority people have been facing all of their lives. i have asked the workforce people for a monitor, to go out and check. i've asked them to do what we call random audits. our response to random audits. this city is spending millions of dollars and nobody randomly orders these companies to see if they are actually in compliance. we rely on the contractors to do good faith. i know contractors lie. the contractors lied about their auditing and what they had done. so, i think the commission needs to address this issue of having independent audits, random audits. i told the people, from the mayor's office, that once the word gets out,

. >> my name is josiah clark. i wanted to thank you all for being here.atients on ability to focus after so many hours of this every day. i have lived at 1628 lake street my whole life. our house was built to in 1896. it shares a backyard property line with lot 21. i oppose this project because both of these proposed houses are out of scale with houses on the block and significantly reduce the mid block open space shared with homes on 17th and 18th avenue and on lake street. the open space would be entirely removed. according to the proposed plans removing a wall of seven decks will be at the rear of our property. not only every a semblance of open space removed, equally significant is the removal of privacy creating a real fishbowl effect. we have many detached homes, and some homes on larger double lots. 1650 lake street is on a double lot. when it was for sale, many developers were interested, but there is a two-story bay extension that overhangs from the home next door at 1638 lake street. does this sound familiar? the illegal removal of the three-sto

specifically, there was a colonel william winder, some people say winder but i believe it was winder and josiah both lived in somerset county in maryland. they got in touch with the president and he said my family came from the eastern shore of maryland. do you think we're related? they said, yes. we'll tell you about our family. it goes back to a fellow named robert polk who arrived here in 1687 with his wife madelyn. they had serve sons. the oldest son john had a son named william. john died in bishop polk, later a general but at that time bishop and they put together a family tree. maybe some of you have seen this family tree. there is a picture of it. this is my own personal copy, come down through my family. beautiful piece of draft work. it shows main part of the tree at the top north carolina and tennessee polks and lower part are maryland polks. looking at it a little more closely, you can see in here at the bottom robert polk, the immigrant from ireland, the very bottom of the tree. the next main branch up is his son john. john, the main limb off that, going up the middle of the tree,

. >> john paly, josiah dubois, randolph paul. these are major figures in this history, yes. thanks. >> commissioner kirsanow. >> what, if any, individuals in congress could you highlight as being advocates for greater refugee influx, doing anything, were there factions in congress, because it strikes me that was notably absent from much of the discussion we had and you would think that there might be more involvement from the legislative branch. >> sure. i talked earlier today about a bill for child refugees that is sponsored by robert wagner, a democrat from new york, and edi edith norse rogers. emanuel seller a democrat from brooklyn is a constant voice on behalf of refugees. samuel dicksteen as well, a new york democrat. constant voices. emanuel seller is -- the hart-seller act which replaces the johnson-reed immigration act is emmanuel seller 20 years after the holocaust finally repeals or overturns the johnson-reed immigration act. that is a career for him spent advocating on behalf of more immigration to the u.s. there are -- a lot of the senators and congressmen who b

the surveyor, i think josiah bartlett, surveyor, they say, oh, well, we're mapping the new border. it's an imaginary line, but it's a new international border on this side of the line is the united states territory, on this side of the line is mexico. and the apaches say, where is apache country? which, by the way, we are all sitting on, right? and the american surveyors don't have an answer. two weeks later they don't have any horses because the apaches realize what's going on. these are not friends. so the whole what's going on here, of course, is this intrusion of american power and american claims to territory and other things into an indian world. and that, of course, is going to be, i suppose, the story of the second half of the 19th century, how to assert that dominance and what happens to that indian power. so comanches are a huge power, but there is an incident in 1786, right, this is just after the smallpox epidemic where spaniards are trying to make peace with the comanches and one of the reasons that the comanches give for making peace is they say we've recently lost tw
