he was a massachusetts boy. these were yankee fishermen who were in a regiment from the north shore, north of boston, they encountered a group of virginia riflemen who had come in their fringe hunting shirts trying to appear like american indians. they come together around the college buildings, harvard college at the time, now harvard university, and a fight breaks out between these men from the two different regions. 1845 -- ink italy 1845 remembered that george washington rode into the scene and broke up the soldiers' fight. this is the moment when washington is writing home to his brother in virginia talking about the challenges that he was facing of trying to get men for whom their colony was their country to think of themselves as americans. and so we think this is sort of a wonderful storytelling device to point out how long that journey would be, perhaps a journey that is not even finished yet today, for us all to see ourselves as americans , despite our diversity. each one of the cases in this gallery e

announcer: to mark patriots' day, a massachusetts state holiday commemorating the battles of lexington, concord, and menotomy in april of 1775, monticello hosts a conversation with president thomas jefferson, portrayed by bill barker. he recounts the events from the time of the battles to july, 1776, events that led to the decision by the 13 colonies to break with great britain. he then explains how he was involved in creating the declaration of independence and what he hopes americans might learn from it. this video is courtesy of thomas jefferson's monticello in charlottesville, virginia. thomas jefferson: oh, my, well, i have finished. and good afternoon indeed, mr. light, and to all of our friends, welcome once again here to our house, to monticello. mr. light, as you refer of course to patriots' day, so we have heard it now referred to ourselves in virginia, nothing could please us more in virginia to be reminded, if you will, about our initial associations with massachusetts. yes, patriots' day is something that we are happy to be reminded of, as i know all of our friends in mass

"besides that," he said, "a virginian ought to be at the head of this business." you asked me what sources of thracian did i draw upon in drafting our declaration. firstly i would tell you that i write on this slo

massachusetts was easy in massachusetts. i think what happened in massachusetts could not have happened at other places and i'll tell you why. we had a very, very, very sympathetic administration on the campus. there were some things that had happened in the college community of faculty. it was an incredible assembly of people there. first of all, in 1959 the massachusetts had the umass press had come forward with the massachusetts review, like the college literary magazine. read the pages of that magazine. it's eerie because when that magazine was launched, it was dedicated to the four young men who, in deference to four young men who sat down at amt university. it committed itself to being a magazine, the pages of which would be readily available to black writers, to young black writers in the country as they expressed themselves and their traditions. it was an amazing thing. i did not know that. i had no way of knowing that, but the group of people who had started the massachusetts review would become my family almost whe

the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. neal: thank you for extending that courtesy as i close out the democratic portion of this argument. last week i spoke with a group of working mothers. one told me she fears risk of losing a generation of working parents. others emphasized how terrifying their situations are and how they lack choice that is will allow them to continue their careers and protect their children. parents all across the country have been doing the hard work of holding their families together while the white house ignores the plight and exacerbates the public health crisis. we owe it to these parents to show we in congress hear them and we are going to do something about it. with that i urge my colleagues to support this important legislation. i yield back the balance of my ime. the speaker pro tempore: all time for debate has expired. pursuant to house resolution 1053 the previous question is ordered on the bill. the question is on enrowsment and third reading of the bill -- engrossment and third reading of

three casinos in massachusetts are reopening but with some very strict guidelines. contessa is live in springfield. >> reporter: people inside playing as we speak. the real question is, will the capacity limits limit the profit that these casinos can turn in massachusetts? i'll have lots more right after this break on "power lunch." >>> welcome back, everybody. casinos around the country have been reopening with different rules in each state. and today three casinos in massachusetts are back in business, but as the state's numbers rise, they are opening with the strictest guidelines yet. contessa brewer is live in springfield with our story contessa >> reporter: hi, tyler there are now 200% more seats in the outdoor patio on mgm casino, and inside we have seen the gaming tables, well, there's people sitting at them, even on a monday afternoon they have six-foot-high plexiglas shields up the table games, for social distancing, and slot machines are turned off for social distancing reasons the restrooms even have seen their hand dryers turned off to avoid blowing the

the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. kennedy. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. kennedy: mr. speaker, thank you. mr. chairman, thank you. 155 years ago, senators from my state of massachusetts knew that a bust of roger taney deserved no home in our government's highest institution. yet here we are in 2020 and the bust of a man who tried to codify and protect our original sin remains only a few hundred feet away. statues honoring traitors willing to destroy our nation so that they could own black men, women, and children litter our capitol. and somehow we still need to have this debate. let me be clear. dismantling the symbols that glorify white supremacy is a bare minimum but dismantling those symbols is no substitute for dismantling the system those men created. it cannot be the end or the best we can offer the millions who took to our streets demanding justice. it cannot be the end of our work. it should be considered the beginning of that work. it should have been done 150 years ago. the

so the massachusetts teachers association has proposed a phased-in opening.edad: what does the phased-in strategy that you're proposing look like? merrie: so, in the first couple of weeks of schools, educators need to come together. they need professional development. they need to redesign their curriculum. they need -- we need to make materials, boxes full of all of the math, science, art materials, and books for every single kid, for when they're learning at home. we then need to meet one-on-one with families. before we do that, we need to rearrange our classrooms. we can't possibly expect our layout of our classroom to be the same. soledad: in new york, there's efforts to stagger the number of students so that you'd effectively halve the number of students who are in class, because only half would show up on the different days. merrie: in massachusetts, our commissioner has relaxed the standards to say minimum of three feet is acceptable, and you can fit 20 kids in a 750 square foot room. we're saying it's -- that's unacceptable. that's unhealthy. that put

, massachusetts, get $1,200 per resident. but west side and many other small towns are getting $327 per resident. how come no one debated that when it was passed? >> well, it was debated, and some of us expressed concern about that. ultimately, the rules that came out of the treasury department was that if you are a county of 500,000 or more people, then you get that money directly from the federal government. otherwise, it's up to the states. your governor in massachusetts has some flexibility in how that money is rolled out to local governments and local communities. that is not a federal decision. in the state of ohio, governor mike dewine has that decision. and that's what i was talking about earlier. some of that money, the state and local government, local community money, has yet to make it down to those local communities because the states are struggling with figuring out the rules about how to make it fair. it's not a perfect system, but we, in congress, did what we thought was appropriate in passing legislation that

boy, but idlymall relocated myi early life to massachusetts. it is hard for people who were not down in the south in the 60's to really understand what it took to be a civil rights worker in the south during those times that john lewis was down there. can you describe for us what it was like in the south, in the 60's, during the time john lewis was working there? caller: you could probably say his life was at risk 24 hours a day at that time. when he first started. he was young when he first started out. early 60's, i believe it was about 1960. but the opposition against the movement was vicious. they did not mind shooting. they did not mind killing you. in fact, at one point when they killed a black person, even if it was admitted, he was not arrested. and he went through that as a young man. he must have been arrested about 45 times. wherearrested no near. and the federal court hearing in montgomery, we rode in the car, but you could not ride on the regular highway. you would be assaulted or attacked. you almost had to take the trip in secrec

who staffed a small catholic college in massachusetts. and they invited him to commemorate the fact that on bloody sunday, at the edmund pettus bridge, they were the only ones with members of the edmund priesthood who would care for them when others closed their doors. when john greeted sister maxine snyder upon introduction, for the commencement address, the two of them broke out in tears and 5,000 people in the springfield civic center broke out in tears with them. he remembered that moment and they remembered him. another great story in the legacy of john lewis. it's rare that a person has an opportunity in this institution to work alongside a real hero. and we had that here and we sometimes forget that in the din of incendiary debate. but for three decades, i along with other members of the ways and means committee, we had that honor. to be in his presence, his wisdom and his joyful spirit day in and day out was a blessing beyond words. john served in this congress until his last day, in part because his work was not done. despite all
