>> i want first to introduce margaret cooley who writes nonfiction and poetry. also with us from boston but having stepped off the plain from dublina daniel to be lynn a writer at emer son college. i want to start by reflecting back that those of you folks endeavored to reveal hidden histories of your family lives. we have spoken in advanced of today's conversation. it's clear to me you pursued the stories of your families histories for decades through genealogical work and writing and reflection. i'm wondering if can describe how you dot work you do and where the seeds of your curiousity, how they were planted and want compelled you to do this work. >> i would say that i was have much inspired since i lived in san francisco, california. we are a country of immigrants. in san francisco in particular, we have so many first generation americans. my husband is just became an american citizen a couple of months ago. i have friendlieds who are first generation from vietnam. palestine, israel. mexico, as i watch them struggling with their cultural identities and tryin

and the third component is similar to what margaret was talking about. i irish american. i didn't know what a pure american was. none of my friends were pure americans. a lot of my friends were lebanese and from syria. i had yewish and irish american friends. all of our identities were mixed. my sense of being american was being in a mix of things. >> margaret could you also reflect in a prior conversation you talked about your father had a sense of where he came from and it was a little more difficult for your mom to articulate that? >> sure.

margaret, how did american military intelligence first track bin laden to this compound? >> as y know, jeff, ever since 9/11 there's been a whole intelligence operation designed to try to find osama bin laden but many times the trail went cold. about six years ago based on detainee interrogations they learned the pseudonym of osama bin laden's official courier, official messenger to other parts of the network. that was just another piece of information that they're collating with everything else. then maybe four years ago they actually learned the real name of this individual. and then a couple of years ago they finally learned where he was operating but it wasn't until last august that they actually tracked him to the compound that saima just described. once they zeroed in it and saw 18-foot high walls and barbed wire on top and the balconyees are all protected by privacy walls all the windows are owe... opaque. it was a $1 million house. no internet or phone service. they didn't take their trash out. they would burn it inside the compound which you can see from overhead

of course margaret, we want to see those lights on. my specific question is to the new superintendent, i am a representative of the new high school going to bay view, bay view school of social justice. my specific concern is the attendance on back page from the main topic. there's no professional development and it's not monitored by the district. now connect as a capacity of 4 hundred student s and only attendance of 202. thank you. >> you know, one of the problems with that system, i mentioned that people want to have access to go anywhere they k. they bus themselves out. that's really what happened here. when we review this type of system. we're breaking up neighborhoods without the intention of wanting to do that. the intention was good. we wanted to give everybody access to any school. but we now. it's time. years later to revisit that, wait a minute, what are we doing with this system? we are open to that discussion. as you will see in our new strategic plan. our plan is based upon one thing facing america. recently, a couple of

margaret, you've been on the ground in bahrain a few days, what can you see? are you aware as you move around that this is a country putting down an uprising? >> warner: absolutely, ray. in the capitol you see tanks by the side of the road. you see riot police and military manning check points around the city. it is not a heavy, heavy security presence here in the financial hub that is the capitol. but you do, you do feel it. the situation is very different when you go out to the shiite villages. and we went to one today to hear the bahraini shiite ayatollah deliver the friday prayers. and there you do see armoured vehicles out on the highway, checkpoints, military convoys cruising around, riot police cruising around. and the, just by happenstance the mosque that we had chosen to visit overnight, we were told, had been vandallized by security forces. the television sets and sound system ripped out. other allegations of other kinds of destruction. now when we got there new tvs had been installed and the sound system appeared to be working fine. but what was str

>> that really was a turning point, margaret. but it's one more horror story on toop of many others in mexico. i mean, those people the vast majority we understand were migrant workers. we went to the central mexican state where many had boarded those buses heading to the u.s. to both work and visit relatives. people are now terrified. they were very angry that no one had warneded them about this. the bus company and possibly police knew about these drug check points and that people were pulled off the buses and latom o>>f these busr and only routes reroute the buses to more safer areas. that shockd mexico. but you have to recall just last august there was another discovery, another mass murder and piles of bodies in that same region. it took eight months for the government to finally catch a suspect. >> warner: has anyone been able to figure out why people or ordinary migrant workers would be pulped off buses and killed, and in some cases men and women in very brutal ways? >> very brutal ways. there's a lot of speculation about

as margaret said, in 1949 we came to the south bronx, which was an irish neighborhood, mostly. i was sort of a spaced-out kid, destined obviously to be a poet. i was this big at 13 and i was a good rollerskater and the kids were amazed and they befriended me. after a while, they recognized that i had some sort of athletic ability and because i was so spaced out, they mistook it for great courage and if they pushed me, i pushed them back. it was just like a game. so they took to me and asked me to join the shamrocks. i even changed my name from ed vega to ed mcveigh. and this is how they passed me off because most of the teams they played were other irish kids. this was a regular football team so, consequently, they listed me as eddie mcveigh. it was great fun and my friends were jimmy flynn, paddy o'connor. my siblings married the shenny's and i almost married a catherine finerin but it didn't work out. i have a

and i commend the mayor and margaret for help us out with those. >> mr. garcia? >> also, i need to add the wellness centers. >> around thing we need to build on is restored advocacy. we are pilots jane kimberly. she educated me. and then we are starting to get the principles together. people are starting to buy into it. it's a learning process. it's not just, punishing kids more. they are used to be punished. my momma hits harder than that. we need to have systems in place that view it a little differently. from the victim's point of view. and deal with it on an emotional level. people can relate to that. i think our biggest problem is the district doesn't have the capacity to address when all these groups come out it. it's not that we don't want to deal with it. we don't have a grant writer. we don't have the interfaces. tony smith. we have been working with creating those types of things. the city have been wonderful to build our capacity. if you are a principle, what do you do in a hundred different agencies come at you? you barely have the time at school. we

tonight, we have margaret's interview with bahrain's foreign minister. >> warner: mr. minister, thank you for having us. spoob giving a speech on thursday addressed to the middle east and north afternoon a. do you feel you've had u.s. support for the actions you've taken here, both in the immediate crisis of the uprising and then there the crackdown? >> yes, of course, we felt that we had u.s. support in general as we've always had the u.s. support in bahrain and the gulf region. there's no doubt that the u.s. support is a support that we always look for because the u.s. is a major ally. >> warner: now, is the united states urging you to ease some elements of this crackdown? for instance, to open up all the trials to press coverage? or to release some of the hundreds who are still in detention, indefinite detention? >> being an international safety situation, there's no doubt we are in constant contact with the united states regarding the whole spectrum of events of the last two months. the u.s. embassy is now present in the courtroom by a representative diplomat mat t

on a chilly gray evening, margaret tripp shows her two grandsons the place where she and her grandpa nearly lost their lives. >> i want them to remember this. this is tragic. mien, this is something... this has messed with people's lives. >> reporter: but for thousands of joplin children who lived through the killer storm, it's a history lesson that hits too close to home. >> there's no way that it cannot affect the children for a long time to come. this is a life-altering event. this is something that war survivors, holocaust survivors see. >> reporter: have you learned a life lesson with this? >> yes. >> reporter: what is that? >> probably the biggest thing i learned is nobody has promised tomorrow so you just like need to treasure every moment you have and the people that you're with. >> reporter: but just a stone's throw from all the death and destruction, there are smiles and signs of life. >> life needs to go back to normal, and those kids being out in that rubble is not normal. that's normal. >> reporter: cookie estrada runs the y.m.c.a., which is now offering a free and safe

and honoring margaret as the mother of the children's fund. the children's fund is a way to make sure that we have services that are guaranteed for children, youth, and families. it has been in place since 1991. prior to the children's fund being established, there was no set real policy maintaining level funding for low-income children, youth, and families, and in the past 20 years, we have been able to authorize twice the children's fund here it has gone beyond just serving low-income families. it serves families all across and fixes go with child care programs, after school programs, in supplementing services for low-income families but also providing a lot of things middle-income families can benefit from as well. we actually moved towards a program that looked at young people as activists who can make changes in their communities and do community service work, said the children's fund is a big part of that effort. margaret -- just to let folks know, she and her work in san francisco, and she has done much to lead the effort around protect
