stephen douglas resley lincoln on this. -- pressed lincoln on this. he said you were talking about public rights, you are not talking about juries or giving testimonies in court, but you know something, if you grant a fundamental premise about all men are created equal in the natural rights, you're going to have to enfranchise blacks people and you're going to have lack people and white people getting married, and you are going to have all kinds of things, and is going to be black and white quality all getting married, and you are over the place. douglas said that the confident that in saying that, he was going to be turning the audiences against lincoln. the thing is that ouglas was right. take lincoln's starting point and rights, the line that separates natural rights from civil rights or social rights is a very poorest one. -- a very porous one. people are going to start pressing through all of that and stephen a douglas saw he future. it was a future that lincoln believed had to come because it was going to be lincoln's starting point and there wi

this time, lincoln invited him. because lincoln was so worried that now that the emancipation policy was out there in place, before the world, and there was supposed to be a war to end avery, he calls douglass into his office, eye-to-eye, and asks him, to be the chief organizer of a plan and scheme to funnel as many slaves as possible out of the upper south and into the north behind the union it military lines before election day. douglass wrote a little bit about this afterwards. i think he was frankly, stunned. he is being asked to be john brown by abraham lincoln. what? he frankly, had no clue on how he was actually going to do this. except that he was supposed to do it with the army, with officers and so forth. douglass goes back to rochester and begins writing telegrams and letters to friends and abolitionists. he began to organize agents for the scheme. and of course, the scheme never came to be because of the fall of atlanta and sheridan's success in the valley. not to mention, farragut taking mobile bay at t

she ends up endorsing lincoln after giving a lecture on him. afterwards she meets with lincoln. not to quit being a thing to death, she is now 21. she will be allowed to vote in just under six decades. yet people invited her and they cared what she said. the press made a huge deal of all this. if you know your 1854 election details, there is serious conversation about whether republicans should dump lincoln or select one of a handful of possible figures left of lincoln including fremont. maybe simon chase. anna dickinson -- i find this fascinating -- her papers are full of big-time people. asking her if she's going to endorse lincoln. contemplate that. why would they care that is barely 20-year-old quaker from philadelphia is endorsing lincoln? she is holding them if they because she is not entirely happy with lincoln. he goes on to become the losing figure in a great sex scandal -- that's a story for another day. he writes to her and says, tell us what you're going to do. she writes a public letter called the duty of the hour and in the duty of the hour, it is a long letter. it

i'm glad i went back in time. >> host: what did you learn abou abraham lincoln and ambition? >> guest: the really interesting thing is that his ambition was so fierce that even at the age of 23 when he runs for the state legislature for the first time -- which is where i start hi story. i start all of them when they run the first time, because some of them are going to lose. they'll be confused. i was at a college, and i was talking about presidents, and he said but i can never imagine being one of them. so i figured if i start when these guys start themselves, abraham lincoln that very first time said he had a peculiar ambition, that his ambition was to somehow win the esteem of his fellow man. he was thinking in those terms each then. then he said i may lose this election, but i think i'll try five or six times, and then maybe i'll be disgraced. he does lose the election, he tries again, he wins. he loses more elections, goes forward. it's an extraordinary story of resilience. >> host: can these guys, were they able to see around corners or think in patterns a little bit mo

pitcaithley: lincoln, lincoln. yes, yes, that's right. >> the little lady that started this. so, i was just curious if that had struck you and what you thought. dr. pitcaithley: dr. pitcaithley: i think, a couple of answers to that. to place blame, -- i encourage my students not to look for blame. it is sort of a useless exercise. there a number of ways to look at that. person if you want to blame somebody, you might blame eli whitney, right? in 1793, which created the cotton gin, which people were making money before that. that just exploded it. andou hear -- here elsewhere, slavery was incredibly, incredibly profitable. werenk my students, if i teaching at texas tech, may be a texas school, one of the seceded states, west texas and love -- has anybody been to lubbock? get a different answer fire was teaching in mississippi, there might be a different answer. after i had my students to that list of what caused secession, then i had them vote. one student, one vote. wrote all of their topics on the boards. nine timests wins out of 10, very partial, that lost cause interpretat

lincoln.f you are want the primer and managing difficult people, read abraham lincoln's collected works. he has the patience and a skillet that that most of us to manage people could only dream of ever possessing. is focus onlicity, what is next rather than his deliberation of what is past reminds me of my college football coach. all he did was think about the next play. there was no time to think about what just happened. grant was very much like that. always forward-looking. moment,t least in the regretting or criticizing spending a lot of time looking backwards. always forward. for me one of the reasons the memoirs succeed so well is that they reveal him in his essence, which was to take complicated things and reduce them to workable problems. we have professions in this country who spend almost all their energy trying to convince us what they do was way more complicated than we could ever imagine it to be and therefore we need a higher those people who can minnesota's -- hire those people

that was like lincoln's guy, the transcriber.tting there getting every word lincoln said on behalf of this client. >> peachy quinn harrison. >> yes. >> what will we learn that we didn't know? >> we will see how methodical, smart he was as an attorney. and you will see something that people don't see very often and think about with lincoln. which is at one point in the book he gets so angry and so furious at a judge's ruling the descriptions -- we have real descriptions from people who were there at the time. it is almost as if he is going to jump over the bench. i will give away this part of it. eventually he was able to change the judge's mind. it is a really compelling story. just the case. it is a self-defense case where lincoln is representing the defendant. it was a really exciting transcript to go through and a really fun book to write. >> good for you. sit now available everywhere.

over the last few months i've reported that the tjpa lincoln and lincoln's marketing consultant spritz were working on a branding exercise for the transit center. this exercise included collaboration with the sales force design team and input from pelly clark, pelly architects. what you see is a snapshot of a long process and the result. the inspiration was the pen rose rombus pattern leading to an interpretation of one of the shapes. what we selected, shown here without color, representing the convergence of lines of transportation. the green shade is one of a rainbow of colors provided by sales force, the park and the centers environmental features such as the light rail. the font, one of many provided by sales force is modern and crisp. so this slide provides some samples of how the brand will be used. a sample website banner, uniform patch, badge and temporary operations sign. note the use of a pen rose pattern as a background and note that the mark is in three shades of green to provide dimension. the primary update today for brv is that setting up the park amenities in june as or

they didn't know each other very well but lincoln came after tani in the famous lincoln douglas debates on the dred scott decision. fdr and hughes were not personally enemies at all. they knew each other when they were both politicians in new york and had respect for each other but fdr didn't like any new deal court decisions and he came after the court, not necessarily after hughes and then you have eisenhower and warren. i guess the way the framers set up the separation of powers there is built in tension that is probably healthy for the most part. when a president, a strong president and all the pres.s i have written about have been strong pres.s feel the court which is an independent branch of the government is undermining or in some way obstructing what they see as public interest the presidents can come after them. .. . >> certainly want to leave time for questions from the audience. so let me end by asking two semi-unfair questions. after all i'm a law professor and i get to ask unfair questions to people lots of times. eisenhower was not only a military leader. but during his pr

and however abraham lincoln and george washington. i think many esidents in fact have written poetry including grant i will not -- list them all but of course presidents have had poet. and famously robert frost, miya angelou, and the mellon foundation robert i don't thank you did? and i don't remember and did not think that at the poet at the inauguration although we know it was the biggest crowd ever. [laughter] but no poet. and when jfk was the center men that could be true. but what we do know is that many presidents have consciously used alliteration oradence to get people's attention. so each of our panelists will speak for less than ten minutes and then help them but i doubt they will need much help to have a conversation with each other and after they do that for a while we will have q&a from the audience so the order will be i will a robert pinsky who is a poet talk about civic matters and citizenship and then i will turn to david litt and t ted was a speechwriter for president bush the first and then of course senior speechwr
