citizen lafayette. when they moved to that nomenclature, one may get rid of the aristocratic titles, his aristocratic title is the marquee vilify. his family name was djibouti. he would be citizen mutate not citizen rafael. there was no time where you are combines the citizen with the law. one of them would get chapped. the other thing is that the people who are really pushing for that citizen monte, that kind of stuff, where his political enemies. right? that face of the french revolution, one it was all that citizen this, citizen that, with red liberty calves, in 1792, 1790, three 1794, lafayette has been rejected by the revolution by that point because the people who were who were doing that in the french revolution, where his enemies. so, i was already, by this point, feeling that i don't think that this title fits with what the book i'm writing. also the facts that i'm a countering with. and then system lafayette, it's a little. drive i said, okay. we can just settle. >> it's a great. title a great

them lafayette.n they get rid of the aristocratic title the aristocratic title was the marquis lafayette and his family name was duarte. he would have been citizen citizen more ta not citizen lafayette. one of them gets dropped and the other thing is that the other people who are pushing for that kind of stuff were his political enemies. that's the french revolution with the red liberty caps and 1792, 1793 in 1794. lafayette is rejected by the revolution because the people who were doing that in the french revolution were his enemies so i was by this point feeling like i don't know the title fits with the book i'm writing and from the faxes i'm encountering them and marquis came along and said citizen marquette is a little dry. and i said okay we can change the title. >> these titles and books attend to all of us alike. >> we wanted to give it a more modern look in the same way that i wasn't trying to write a social studies report on lafayette and we were not trying to do books like every other found

you are hearing the voice of former news anchor christine bill porter, who grew up in lafayette.ost her home to hurricane in two plus weeks ago on san carlos island, right next to four. myers beach. we have some photos of her neighborhood, just devastation everywhere, boats all over the place, and now she's waiting through a bureaucratic red tape trying to get her life. back in order, and christine joins us now from southwest florida. christine great to have you with us. well i would love to say it's nice to be here but will second thank you for having beyond as i represent thousands of people, not just myself. well, let's start with the big question. how are you doing? and what are the last couple of weeks been like? it's really hour by hour. i go from self pity to rage. in point , oh, five seconds. the last two weeks, though, have been really encouraging as hurtful as this process has been. people have been amazing people have come back from a colombia's high school in lafayette and sent me wonderful messages. former reviewers and in madison, wisconsin. um it's really been upli

so he's he's behind the scenes working with lafayette on you know, promoting liberty. and and promoting the the new the new national assembly into taking a greater role so he came back to america very inspired. he thought that he didn't for see the the reign of terror and the bloodshed that would happen. he didn't know about the wars the revolutionary wars that would happen in the 1790s yet. he just came back thinking that france is basically going to do what we just did we're gonna have a successful republic. on and it took him a long time to stray from that idea. he was a very strong proponent of what the french were doing. he clashed with hamilton in the cabinet in hamilton much more pro-british, but it was eventually i think jefferson jefferson and madison formed what they called the republican party the democratic republican party, we often call it today and it was inspired in part by what happened in france. in fact, they were kind of sticking up for the french revolution and trying to keep us from aligning too closely with britain. so i think there's some parall

kennedy made to save lafayette square. she in her research at the kennedy library realize that it was the day after the television tour aired, february 15th of 1962, that mrs. kennedy took a walk through lafayette park with david finley. she understood for the first time the full extent of the plans that were in place. and i think again, here is a mentor reaching out to her, and utilizing her great appeal. after imagine that he knew that if someone can make a difference in these plans, it was jacqueline kennedy. she was really quite horrified to find out what was in store. in fact her own husband had already approved it. not because he necessarily thought it was a good idea, but i think as government goes, things get rolling, and she did not feel that way. she, i think was maybe buoyed by the popularity of that tour, and by the popularity of her program, and thought that she could lend her name and influence to this, but before long, she was writing a letter, i'm sure recommended by david family, to the administrator of th

she she did later on talk about how when she discovered what was going to happen at lafayette. where that it was going to be ripped down and horrible things put up in their place. she just you know, she just couldn't stand by and let that happen. well, i have a very favorite question that i like to ask. smart people terrific collection of smart people on stage with me today and this is this is a hard question. these are these have been the warm-up questions. now, this is this is the this is definitely the hard question one day. there will not be a first lady of the united states even though this has been the case for 230 some odd years one day there will undoubtedly be a first gentleman in that role as the first spouse. so, how do you think when that happens when that day comes this is called a hypothetical when that day comes how will this role of preservation that has been assumed by first ladies as we know that we've already heard of that has been historic. how do you think that's going to change will it change a little bit will it change some what will it change greatly? so

jefferson's friend, the marquis de lafayette, was one of the leaders and became the leader for a briefperiod of time. they were trying to establish a constitutional monarchy in jefferson, in fact, thought that was the best of france could do, could hope for. he was very instrumental behind the scenes. in fact, jefferson drafted an early version of what became the universal declaration of human rights. france's declaration, rather, of the lights of man, which also influenced the universal declaration. i should, say to crack. myself so he's behind the scenes, working with lafayette on, you know, providing liberty and promoting the new national assembly to taking a greater role. so he came back to america very inspired. he thought that -- he didn't foresee the reign of terror and the bloodshed that would happen. he didn't know about the war the, revolutionary war set would happen in 1797. he just came back think that france is basically going to do what we just did. they're going to have a suspect successful republic. and it took him a long time to stray from that. if he was a very strong

lafayette came to the hermitage when he was traveling to the united states in 1824-1825.aaron burr came here after he was vice president. martin van buren came here, james k. polk. so the house especially during the presidential years and in jackson's retirement years the house was filled with visitors all the time. if you were a dignitary coming to visit andrew jackson led saint 1838 after the presidency you would have come to the front door here because you are an important person so you would come to the front door and you would've been greeted by a short woman named hannah who is ahead of house slaves. he kind of rolled the roost and she would invite you to come in and then she would size you up and decide how important you were. clearly you are already important because you had come to the front door. but if you are very important and you didn't know general jackson you would've been escorted into the front parler and allowed to wait for him there. in the front parler he would have had laying out objects that would show you what an important man you are about to meet

i was down at lafayette square talking to people, looking at some of the material that was on the wallsecting some for the smithsonian but really directing others, saying, "here's some stuff we should have." david: well, you're walking around there, and you're saying, "i'm the secretary of the smithsonian. can i have this?" and the police are saying, "oh, sure." lonnie: ha ha! well, i had to show my id. david: ok, so you didn't get arrested. solet's talk about your background a moment. you grew up in new jersey. lonnie: in the garden state. david: ok. in the garden state. and what did you want to be when you were growing up? i assume not secretary of the smithsonian, right? lonnie: i didn't know what the smithsonian was, but i wanted to do something with history. i've always loved history. and the story that is an absolutely true story is that my grandfather died the day before i turned 5. and he would read to me, and he would read books. and one day he was reading a book, and it had a picture of schoolchildren. and it was probably from the 1860s. and he said to me that the picture said

other eu members including poland and lafayette have accused berlin of not acting in common interest. the france leader had this to say at a summit last week. >> it is not good for a country to isolate itself. our goal is to everything for germany to be part of it. i hope we can find paths. we are moving forward and we will continue to do so. >> we will bring in our guests in a moment. first here's a report from paris. reporter: it's one to portray a sense of unity. it's a cap on energy prices. soaring prices have been rattling the economy in the european continent and we have to wait. germany is putting $100 billion to modernize its military. the french military welcomed the move. a combination of assistance. the german chancellor is going to travel and they have to understand that you is concerned about and in clement -- influence of china globally. this explains why the french are concerned. the firm should come together, strong signal to the international community, soaring prices. it's going to be maintaining the unity among the countries. >> let's take a closer look. the coaliti

by on producer maria, cut them out sir, and kill ya now, joins us from riga and lafayette, which is where dw news is currently reporting from about russia. because our moscow bureau was shut down earlier this year by the russian government. killian, bobby trained eloquent conscripts is this common knowledge in russia? well, i do think this is known because it's been a topic on russian state media. it's circulated on russian social media. and of course, the news is getting back from egg from family members that have been drafted. and so what do russians think about it? well, i think we've been hearing from moscow that people are really, are buying the state propaganda that russia is indeed in an existential struggle with the west fighting a proxy war in ukraine. so voices that we hear from moscow are saying, you know, someone needs to defend us am. and so i think really what we keep hearing is that people are indeed on board. in regards to the social media footage, i would like to add that the footage from our report is from the beginning of the month. and so that the social media footage,

stewart talked about lafayette square. it's certainly would look a lot different today without the advocacy and the political skills of jackie kennedy. and as stewart noted, our founder, david finley, the quiet force behind historic preservation in so many different ways. together they worked as stewart indicated to defeat a plan that was actually approved by congress. he was first proposed in the eisenhower administration and approved by congress. it looked like it was going to go through. they use their influence. jackie had tremendous influence. the plan would have replaced the low scale structures around the square today with really monumental office buildings. it is hard to imagine today. as stewart described, the history of this. place so many people involves. that experience would not be with us today. instead, the alternative design by john carl warnecke leaves us with the environment they have today. a powerful demonstration of the federal government respecting historic resources. not only for their own value, but

lafayette, your rose was killed in a crash just weeks before she was set to testify in court or let uswas targeted by white-supremacist rosa bell, who was only 13 at the time was forced to stand in for her mom bike in boulder county to testify in the civil rights case and that bravery recognized and celebrated when more brave probably means the pool was closed during the court battle never reopen decades later, the city of bilby book i burger rec center in its place. >> 2019 local leaders made the swimming center. the rose and what a pool. it's a story that only moved mister vargas shed light on the part of these old family's history. he almost never learned. we have no back story. we did not know what happened close it as is his great, great grandmother does will also help rose's story sad to look back on. but it's also brings a sense of pride that. >> my ancestors. >> stood up to for civil rights and today with seems like just a fun field trip to the pool. >> is actually his way of reminding us students. the past is never too far away. you don't learn from history are doomed to repea

, he a 50 year friendship and relationship lafayette and and you know the whole fabric of this country when he started we were getting our our tails kicked in new york city when he first went up as a lieutenant working with george washington and then certainly the battle of trenton, a big turning point for things. and he was involved that. and then once again, you go 50 years later and he's 68 years old or 67 leaving the presidency and really going from an infancy of a of a country that was an idea. just a thought to handing off of sort of a growing world power to the rest of the country. that's a lot. and 50 years and i just think we have a hard time kind of putting that perspective right now. but it's something i'm proud of. and if i get another chance, i've got some sort of fun little i don't want to get into the dates and in the history books stuff but there's some great sort of rich fabric stories of kind of his life and and then also just another thing get into is about how, you know, it was painful. it was tough, life was tough. and it you didn't go into politics for the money o

so lafayette was a freemason before. he came to the united states. we're very clear about what lodge he joined in paris, but obviously, you know, such things as war sentiment only goes so far and. freemasonry is fundamentally a sentimental organization and it's based based on brotherly love, relief, truth and to to conduct military operations and try to defeat the greatest military, the power in the world. does it really have much room for sentimentality? it's too brutal an occupation to give command and risk people's lives because you happen to be in the same fraternal lodge. we wouldn't credit that. i wouldn't want to credit that to anybody. and i don't think i think george had seen enough brutality in warfare when he was a young man that he wasn't going to risk any person's life predicated some sort of fraternal handshake, sincere and and profound. it may be it's still you're risking lives and you're risking the fortunes of their honors by by that sort of stuff. so there was a there's a fraternal relationship, you know, when the bullets start flyi

we know that lee wrote lafayette in clause and told mclaws kind of admonish mclaws that he hadn't heard anything from mclaws and he wanted to how things were going. it's very possible he heard from jackson verbally that jackson was surprising him of where he was in the course of the operation. lee's release timetable. i have to believe that jackson and mclaws and the others, when they looked at his timetable, were like seriously? all right, the boss, because they had actually for all the troops to be in their place september the 12th. so actually had about two days to move over 50 miles for jackson's and take care of the union garrison at martinsburg. i it was a really tall order for lee to expect them to be able to carry that out but what they couldn't know though when they were planning this operation would the garrisons try to run for it? and if they tried to run for it, it would be easier to destroy them in the open so they couldn't know. so i'm sure that lee felt, you know, any plan like this we have to have some wiggle room in this and it's just that, you know, mcclellan's surpris

we know lee row lafayette clause, he admonishment clause that he hadn't heard anything anyone would know how things were going. it was very possible he heard from jackson, verbally, that jackson was surprising him where he was in the course of the operation lees timetable i have to believe that jackson and the others may look at the timetable and think, seriously? all right. you're the boss! they actually called for all the troops be in place by september 12th. he actually had about two days to move over 50 miles per jackson's command. and take care of the union garrison at martin's bergh. i think it was a really tall order for lee to be able to expect him to carry that out. what they couldn't know when they were planning this operation, would the garrisons try to run for it? if they try to run for it it would be easier to destroy them out in the open. they couldn't have known. i'm sure lisa felt, any plan like this we have to have some little room in this. it was just that mcclellan surprised me on september 15th and took away any wiggle room he had. >> one last question. >> scott virgi

another column, under general lafayette mccullough marching down key terrain dominating harpers ferry on the marhore a third column, one infantry division for general john walker departs now, across their point of rocks on the. potomac will go through northern virginia and come up in the caption allowed in heights. on the south side of the harper ferry, on the virginia side can commanding harpers ferry. capturing those key positions, with jackson sealing off the, west they should be able to destroy our caption the union garrison harper's. very once that garrison is captured, all the troops will march up to -- sound with the other big red dock, were you will concentrate his army. but nobody is going to cater stand initially. when they began to execute the order on september the 10th, lee, however, had learned through some of his spies or somewhere that there was union militia approaching hegar's town from pennsylvania. and that the people in hegar's town were taking their food supply. he knew that feud back. so we modify that plan omarch and take long streets command up to hackers town
