mckinley. --the governor of all heil when he was governor of ohio, he would stop what he was doing and mrs. mckinley could see. -- you know,ist the obvious thing would have --and it leadaw to uncomfortable things. we have testimony about william howard taft sitting next to the first lady. the mckinley's sat next to each other. would drape as napkin over her face. >> president mckinley was killed. >> she lived about a year. it is to everyone's surprise. and she was as strong as she could be through the whole thing. she accompanied the body back to canton, ohio. >> did he ever do the napkin thing in public? >> at state dinners. frequently. >> is there a history about the reaction of the people? >> people were very genteel about it. they commented about it. there was never a scene at a back innner except monroe's time. there were stores pulled across the table. the president had to break it up. other than that and joan crawford, i do not know of any incidents. >> under clinton. dinner of the first

i like mckinley. my favorite story is about mckinley of all people. the forgotten president who changed the presidency. the spanish-american awar was going happen. he needed money for it. he called the speaker of the house around midnight. they talked and talked and the speaker said write down what you need. and he wrote on an old piece of telegraph people, $50 million for defense. two, three days later, the speaker hat it for him which, of course, put the war in the president's hands. and it elevated the president to a level of power he hasn't known since george washington. so the chief executive was fading. and then the new presidency was coming. and, of course, poor mckinley was killed and theodore roosevelt was left to traumatize the new presidency. >> here is debbie schmidt, the andover historical society talking about jane pierce. [video clip] >> jane and franklin were staying in andover because there had been a death in the family. jane's u.n.ing m, amos lawrence had died. they went to boston to have that funeral. they returned to andover where

. >> mckinley has made it her mission to help other children in need.or many years she has bn raising funds and working as a positive spokesman for the children's miracle network. >> they help raise money for children's hospitals all over the country. and, you know, that's what i want to help do too. it's pretty important to me because i know how hard it is being a kid and being in the hospital. some people don't have enough money to pay for their hospital visit. and children's medical center, they try and raise money for kids who don't have insurance. as an actress, i hope to use this bigger platform that i have to help kids and help raise money for them. >> she began her career in her hometown of dallas, texas, and now many projects later, recently landed a role on abc's gcb. >> who texted me? >> alexandria, i'm telling her to call child protective services, or whatever, because my parents don't care. >> what is for dinner? >> don't know yet. honey, quit messing up. >> it's about a group of women who are surrounded by church and their family and frien

. >> my name is andrew mckinley and i was the owner of the adobe bookshop in the space that jack spade is now renovating. i was there for 25 years, but the landlord, he opted as is his right to seek a higher rent. a better tenant, quote unquote. so i'm a victim of the situation. i have enjoyed working with the expediter, very nice fellow, i have enjoyed talking to someone from jack spade who has offered to try and help my book business by buying some of the book, but i feel that the jack spade people were mislead by the landlord as to the circumstances of how this space became available for them to consider. the landlord is his right decided to seek a better tenant, but he didn't gauge very much the attitude of the community which does resent very much what is happening. i don't blame jack spade. i sort of blame the landlord, but it's hard to blame landlords. i just feel that you should consider the community which is very upset, a certain amount of them. there are other people here tonight who support what is going to happen. the old landlord said we'll never deny anyone a living. his

i have so many friends in the mission and i have known andrew mckinley for a very long time and gave money to support adobe to stay where they are. unfortunately that didn't have happen. i would like to see this corridor. sasha, i feel for us. it's not a very good area right now. unfortunately, i don't think this is going to help. the beauty and grace that's happened in the valencia street corridor was done with money. the same can be done on 16th street. thank you for your time. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> my name is lauren. thank you so much for your patience tonight. i also want 16 street to have sparkly sidewalks and fewer empty store fronts. but to turn to a formula retail store as a savior is not only misguided but shishging community responsibility. jack spade isn't going to help it. other local businesses are going to be priced out and what we'll be left is is more empty store fronts because smaller independent businesses can't compete or laws are going to change and 16 street is going to be old navy's and kate spade. it's a ripple effect. if we want things to be b

they're giving back to their communities they're in and their adoption program, i know my kids go to mckinley elementary and i know pet foods express has been a sponsor, so thank you, but i think this debate is more about formula retail and pet food express is clearly a formula retailer. you know, there's a bias in the planning code, mostly put into the planning code by the voters for diverse neighborhood commercial districts and for small independent businesses, and against frankly formula retail, and what's in the code is we have to have this hearing, we wouldn't have to have this hearing if it was an independent small business and we have this hearing and we've got this bar that says it's got to be necessary and desirable and that's not necessary and desirable to me, it's necessary and desirable to the community, the people who live and shop and work in the marina, and i think on balance, luke, to use your phrase and the staff's, although it's not unanimous, the neighbors who work and live in the marina don't believe this is unnecessary and desirable and don't want this formula retailer on

mckinley was known for her crochet slippers. we think she made over a thousand pairs in her lifetime. these are unique for the leather soles on the bottom. she would make them in various sizes. we have a pair from obviously a child's size. they were usually made in a variation of blue, gray, or an ivory color. these represent the basic that she would use. since she was not well and not able to do other types of work as a first lady, this is one of the things she could contribute, one of the ways she could contribute. she would either donate these to a charity, to needy children and war veterans or she would donate them to the auctions to raise money for a charity. in order to see some of the more fradgeyile and important pieces from ida mckinley's white house to her homeve to go -- to a different area. this is where we keep white house dresses and some of our other white house artifacts. this dress is my favorite. in the middle of a cons confirmation process, and we can have these dresses repaired so they can be on a mannequin.

the first era of all republican rule since the mckinley administration.t, on the gop agenda, gerrymandering. the gop ensured that they would have an up hill battle trying to undo the damage done. in 2012 they passed amendment with banning same-sex marriage making something that was already illegal more illegal. then, on election day 2012, republicans not only maintained both houses in the assembly but also picked up their first republican governor in more than two decades. that allowed the gop to pack on the pain. the governor signed a tax plan that increases taxes on the poor and gives a tax cut to those making nearly $1 million. a couple of weeks later, despite a pledge not to sign any new abortion restrictions if elected, mcquery restricted women's rights and then signing a sweeping voter i.d. law. joining me now to talk about it is north carolina -- about the voter i.d. law and republican rule, let's bring in ari from "the nation." ari, thank you for joining me. i want to start with you. north carolina not the only state controlled by republicans but

a week later, from bad health care, president mckinley died and big jim parker faded into our distant memory. in other words, we had our racial squeaky fromm, we had our heads up that racial profiling distracts dangerously, so dangerously that if you inject race into a profile that is otherwise based on behavior, blinders go up and people die and sometimes it is the president of the united states himself. race is our issue. gender we were able to deal with. squeaky fromm, boom, we saved george h.w. bush. race -- we are stuck. we knew 100 years before the d.c. snipers, while the police let john mohammed go at least nine times, that racial profiles are problematic. the question is, what can we do about it? we need to keep doing what we have just done in new york city where we passed the community safety act, because what is a failure or for national security is a failure for neighborhood security. we need to focus on people's behavior, not on their race. an op-ed last summer said an officer working a neighborhood and he had a black and latino neighborhood and he had a suspect descriptio
