on climate change, massachusetts continues to be a national leader.the last several weeks alone, we've put forth a science based roadmap to reach net zero emissions by 2050, and we spearheaded a first of its kind multi state program to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector. we've invested over 935 million dollars to climate change mitigation and adaptation since we took office, and we are on track to meet our commitment to invest one billion dollars in climate action by 2022. partnering with the legislature, we've secured historic clean energy programs at the lowest price for ratepayers. this set the table for an explosion and offshore wind development up and down the east coast of the country. there is no question more needs to be done on environmental justice, transportation, resiliency, conservation, and energy efficiency, and we look forward to working with our legislative colleagues to make this happen. as we come out of the pandemic, one issue we need to get right is the future of work. many people have gotten used to working remo

we know that massachusetts bay was settled by people whom we call the puritans. they wanted to purify the church of england. and plymouth colony was settled by separatists who wanted to separate from the church of england both groups were reformed protestants who had a lot of common viewpoints. basically, they thought that individuals should have a direct relationship with god is mediated through scripture. and when we think of puritans and pilgrims, you know, we have these lingering stereotypes of them as being very sober serious people and when we take a look at these portraits, they would seem to confirm our ideas. however, we need to take a closer look so we see josiah and edward wearing black and we think that's because it's a, you know, serious sober color. however black was very fashionable at the time this these portraits were done with 1651 we know by the date on edwards letter, but we don't know who the artist was. so black was very fashionable. and also we they are distinguishing themselves dressing up their outfits with these white starch white collar

he was well aware a catholic from massachusetts would need southern support to procure the democratic nomination. so in 1957 it's really important to remember that many americans considered johnson a hero. for kennedy, he was determined to carry out abraham lincoln's policies sf reconciliation with the defeated south by seeking to bind up the wounds of the nation and treat the south with mercy and fairness. johnson faced the extremist in congress who had already of course clashed with lincoln. those radicals passed who was threatening the foundation of the republic. here's his famous wig. this is how he illustrated is the clansman clubfoot, no wig, and arguing with lincoln. stevens was so sick is he had to allow butler to take over as lead prosecutor and couldn't finish the one speech he tried to give. dixon needed a villain. was a prime architect of the black plague of reconstruction. the johnson obviously the focus is not on ross. and he doesn't even appear. he had just won an oscar. the film acknowledges that it requires taking certain is liberties. for instance, even though johnso

it would be like a $16 an hour job in massachusetts. i guess, how can we have a nationwide minimum wage at $15 , which frankly would kill a lot of jobs in kansas. i am all for if you want $15 an hour in boston, knock your socks off. in kansas, that would be a job killing wage. mayor walsh: thank you. i think the issue around the minimum wage is going to be debated on the senate floor and president biden has stressed that he is supportive of $15 an hour minimum wage, national wage , and i support him and that, -- in that, and i think there will be many conversations until something passes the senate and the house around conversations about if that passes, how that gets implemented. sen. marshall: thank you. my father was a police officer for almost 30 years, and it is certainly an issue close to my heart. it is my understanding that you reallocated $12 million in the boston police department's overtime budget to basically defund the police. i am very happy that president biden said he was opposed to efforts to defund the police. i am ver

connecticut had a society, massachusetts had individual important activists, but it is not until the second great awakening that you see the full flowering of a really concerted, organized abolition movement which is more broad than individual petition campaigns by black communities and individual white activists as well. there is a rich historical literature on abolitionism in new england before the 30's, so i don't want to slight that, but you don't see that same combination of quakerism, these politically active and large-scale black community partnerships and these influential, revolutionary elites like benjamin rush come together in the same degree you see in the mid-atlantic. amelia: a couple of questions have come in. i wonder if you can give a brief explanation of the secondary awakening? paul: we can start with quakers. they are still essential and i don't want to give them short shrift here. there is a way in which historians deal -- i don't know if we call it insider baseball -- quakerism and anti-slavery is wholly associated with quakerism. quakers are really essential. t

scott in gilbertville, massachusetts, the line for those who made between $60,000 and $100,000 last year. good morning. >> caller: good morning. the way that i'mit, i believe that individually -- and not as a whole, but individually, if you made between 60 and a hundred thousand dollars, i think that they should get checks if they were impacted, obviously. but i think they should take away some of the other stuff that's in there, the garbage that they're throwing into it and make this more about the actual covid relief. you're getting the shots out to the people and paying the stimulus to the people that need it the most. people making over a hundred thousand dollars don't need a 1,000, 1,200 check. they don't need it. i don't see why we should be giving it to those types of people when it seems to be rising our debt and hurting our economy. >> so, scott, do this with me this morning. you don't want things in there that aren't about covid relief. so, let's go through president biden's plan. here's some of the things that are in it. tell me if you think this is -- has to do with covid rel
