and i wonder, when you saw this kkk sign on your desk, what did you think? serious? and it was shocking. especially coming from a police chief, who had mentioned going back before i started there, he told one of the workers there that he as long as he is the chief of police, he would never hire the n word. then when he did hire me, he told the worker that i can't believe this city just hired their first n word. and he repeated it between. i cannot believe this city just hired its first n word. >> i know, ashley, you want documents from the city. what are you asking for and how do you see the city's role in this? >> well, the fact that the ex-chief could cast what he did to officer pool as merely a joke tells us a lot about the type of workplace in which officer pool was expected to operate and perform his duty protecting his community. because officer pool began at the department only a year ago, we have a lot of work to do in peeling ban the layers of this onion to determine where blame belongs. so the documents we requested relate to prior acts of miscondu

when he gets done as he pushes through the 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution he fights the kkk with federal troops. he tries to keep the country together and win the peace after the war and that really thrilled me to be able to dig in and to tell that story and the climax is as he's leaving the content tested the election of 1876. >> i get the sense from the outset you feel like grant was one of the most underappreciated presidents so his ranking in those historian rankings has one of 13 spots. that's before. so eisenhower went up five spots. we have looked back and why the historians choose to look at it again. i think in this day and age when we are in such a partisan divide and everything that we talk about with race looking back at all that he did to hold the country together are really at a pivotal bull -- pivotal time. >> do you think to this day he's known as one of the most if not the most brilliant of american generals. his reputation just overshadowed his presidency? >> yes in part because he wrote his memoirs about his time in really eloquent terms. at the end of his

and finally from 1940 textbook about the kkk, the clan and the armed vigilantes in 1898, used by the white supremacist to intimidate black people, to put an end to this terrible condition the white people join together which they knew enter name to the clocks clan and they dressed as ghosts and they scared him and these men could be seen on horseback running to bring order back into the lives of the people in such sites stunned the negroes in the living better lives in the names were listed in the experiment it would move the night and visit these men and punished them according to the wrongs they had done after this lawless man was not to - the crime became less and less. on that note i will stop here and then will answer a few questions. thank you very much for listening. >> that really is a wonderful introduction to what is a very powerful book and it is really gripping to see the what is going on and one of the things that just amaze me so much about this book, with some of your sources were the things that the perpetrators all of this coup, were very probably had written for the

government may say we have to serve niggers, but we're going to take that money and give it to the kkkhey bought that property, they knew the flag was there. what they didn't know was what the culture was like here in south carolina, more specifically in orangeburg. >> orangeburg is 60% black according to the 2010 consensus. that makes me a minority. >> there is a racial divide in orangeburg. i guess that's got a lot to do with history. i feel like sometimes we've done something wrong to them, even though that's happened years ago. >> even though i do see whites and blacks all around and they could be in the same vicinity, everybody know what's going on. >> after that original showdown at the creamery, we said, let's look at the law. local government, they can't regulate speech but they can regulate uses of the property. and okay, let's look at zoning. this is the actual zoning map. you can zoom in and you see, that's us right there. that entire area is zoned business commercial. that's it. this is the little piece that this fight is over. how is 0.003 acres a legitimate business comme

he never praised the kkk. he denounced it in the harshest terms. he never endorsed birth of a nation and asked major theaters not to show it, and examples can be multiplied. this is not to excuse wilson for think of the terrible things that he did do and the consequential and damaging legacy not just for race relations, but for actual living black americans both in his day and in our own. it's just to say that i think in today's day and age it is critical that an organization like the wilson center insist on the importance of fact, for if we no longer believe in facts on the importance of evidence of that can be and has been examined subjectively. there's plenty to criticize wilson for without assuming things based on his southern birth or making things up. that only invites a damaging backlash. second point, i think making wilson into a caricature or hideous alien monster that in no way resembles his enlightened, white, progressive descendants today is dangerous to the cause of racial justice. the fact is wilson, i don't think, was that different

that said the government may say we have to serve -- but we're gonna give that money in service to the kkkty, the flag was there, they knew it was there, what they didn't know was that what the culture was like here in south carolina, particularly in that county. >> orangeburg is a majority african american town. >> it's 60% black according to 2010 census, it makes me a minority. >> there is a racial divide in orangeburg, and i guess that has to do with history. i feel like they sometimes feel like we've done something wrong to them, even though that has happened years ago. >> even though i do see whites and blacks all around, and they could be in the same vicinity, everybody knows what is going on. >> after that original showdown, we started to look at the law. local government can't regulate speech but they can regularly use of the property. and, it hit. this is the actual zoning map, we can zoom in and you'll see, that is us right here. that entire area is zoned business commercial. that's it. this is the little piece that this fight is over. how is 0.003 acres a legitimate business com

nothing to back up any of us and it's a clear cut case of self-defense get you saw america with the kkknding on twitter. that's outrageous, nothing is grounded in fact anymore and it's a big problem because we sat down and discussed things, we recognize quickly the government is our common enemy we need to band together to wrap up rise up again. people never get to have those conversations. kennedy: for people who tarnished his reputation, should he sue or try and move on with his life as a new college student? >> let's move on. for goodness sakes. we can't literally and metaphorically relitigate and relitigate this case in the courts. my view is government has an affirmative role but government's role is to make life better for all of us on an inclusive basis, not race, racial basis or gender basis, it should be based on equality of opportunity for all. we don't need defamation lawsuits, we need progress, we need better outcomes. kennedy: what is the line between protected speech and defamation? it is important to protect speech even that which we disagree with when somebody undergoes

this is from a 1940 textbook about the kkk and the red shirts who were the armed vigilantes in 1898 used by the white supremacists to intimidate black people. to put an end to this terrible condition, white people joined together in a club which they named the ku klux klan. members dressed as ghosts and scared lawless men into acting decently. on moon lit nights, they could be seen riding to bring order back into the lives of their people. such sights frightened negros into living better lives. the names of the men who had done wrong were listed. the next moonlit night the klan would visit the men and punish them according to the wrongs they had done. lawless men were not so bold and crime became less and less. on that note, i will stop here and i will answer a few questions from carol. then i will take questions from all of you. thank you very much for listening. >> thank you, david. it is a wonderful introduction to what is a very powerful book. it's really gripping to see what is going on. one of the things that just amazed me so much about the book was some of your sources were these
