but remember that pepper and mcpherson, the u.s.for street scientists were just planning to focus on queens. but then they said why don't you figure out the benefits not just for queens but all of the 600,000 street trees? a realized that this could be really really important because fiona would actually would go to town with us. so in april of 2007, they issued their full municipal forestry resource analysis for all five boroughs and had been using a tree team to help really make sure that they inventory information was correct. the whole point of what rowan rowntree had set out to do back in 1982, and again with now looking quite a bit, quite a few years later, was really to be able to quantify the benefits of trees and chance like them into dollars. and why we do this? because you really wanted to change and affect public policy and terms of how you thought about urban trees, how you could be strategic about using this data and how they could get incorporated so the trees were not always an afterthought, but actually an integral

charles: they even lose mcpherson. he was killed in the atlanta campaign, right? howard's steps in and takes his army. andunion is developing more more good leaders, experienced leaders, battle hardened leaders they can count on. together, this starts mcpherson writes in retrospect the victory at mobile bay suddenly took on new importance as the first blow of a lethal 1-2 punch. , mobilekind of string bay, atlanta, sheridan in the valley, starts to convince people that the war has turned in favor of the union, and so as the new york times proclaims in its election edition 1864, glorious result for abraham lincoln. lincoln wins the election. uniquee some of the things about this election of 1864? >> i think the biggest one is allowing soldiers to vote. the union makes a very serious effort to make that happen, to get absentee balance to the soldiers. it is a little bit unsure because you don't necessarily think the men who will have to fight and die for this war will vote for it, but you see that they do. >> an overall majority. charles: right, they could have peac

the it's actually pretty nice down there along connecticut avenue and towards mcpherson square.side here around our fair realm on a quiet thursday morning, 48 degrees right now in washington. just a hint of a southwesterly breeze now. a little bit of a chill factor out there. by comparison to what's on the way, this is going to be balmy and mild. 50 degrees in most areas now. hourly temperatures, all sunshine all the time through lunch. we should be near 60 by noon time. afternoon highs today, mid to upper 60s. parts of central virginia, charlottesville, up into the low 70s for today. if you're traveling north, though, a little winter weather advisory through parts of pennsylvania. penn state fans will be getting wet snow. and that little snow chance, a little chance of it comes here is future weather, 24 hours from now, 5:00 a.m. friday morning, a cold rain/wet snow combination dropping down through the area during the morning rush tomorrow. doesn't look like a lot of rain or snow. hardly any of that will be able to accumulate because it will be so warm out ahead of it. but it

clinton: it is interesting because in mcpherson spoke, he -- in the mcpherson book, he talked about accounts of -- black women were invisible. of black womeny was something they used. there was a moment when harriet was on a train, she also, by the way, frequently took a train south because of black woman going south was not assessed as a black woman north. she would gather her money, go south, go rescue individuals, and there are times when she would always travel at night, always travel -- the example i gave, tried to find in the woods some safety, but never travel by day. she had certain route she would always travel. she knew safe stations. also, it is so wonderful -- it disappeared, a new image of her. tubman would often take cart to -- with her to a place. if she could show the picture to someone, she knew who it was, and if they knew the name of who it was, then they were a safe person. she had a way of making her rounds. thomas garrett and william still and so many were able to help her. there was a real network and the south, and she could make her way to canada, to safety. that was

james mcpherson was supposed to be here, he is not here. craig, thank you so much for coming in his place. welcome you and are thrilled to have you with us. violate we have the director of the rose feldhaus. the author and owner of many books, he is part of the glamorous rise and the goldsmith book prize at harvard's kennedy school of government. there they are awarded the national humanities medal. i would like to ask that before we begin if you would turn off your cell phones or any beeping devices. and joining welcoming our guests. [applause] about all of you i am exhausted from the introduction. the titles and awards. doing our civil war thank you for keeping these going. we hope you will keep coming, we of the civilseries war programs examining the lesser-known battles and incidences. chattanooga, it may seem like a johnny mercer song or a place in tennessee, it has a real impact on real importance. for those of us who have spent our lifetime in the east, we know how eastern centric life can be. coverage of the civil war was much the s

course, it is harold and the chief introduction into the world of lincoln i have to thank and jim mcpherson, who was a sponsor of my early work. although he did tell me, he warned me whenever started my work, if you work on the south, you will have to go there. [laughter] by been welcomed there and i now reside there. work, if you work on the south, you will have to go there. but i really want to try to get to some of these issues of the lincolns after the death of lincoln. on april 21, 18 65, 1 week after his assassination, a nine-car funeral train began the journey to escort lincoln and his son willie's coffin back to springfield. the lincoln special was embraced by the american public. americans were enthralled by this historic loss. the first assassination of a president. the lord of those who called lincoln husband and father? the lincolns who were left behind, mary, tad and robert, suffer the loss of a man who came to symbolize the savior of the union. but for them, he was a husband and father, whose indulgence and compassion would be forever mourned. after mary was quite literally ta

clinton: it is interesting because in mcpherson's book, he talked about accounts of -- black women werenvisible. so the invisibility of black women was something they used. and there was a moment where harriet was on a train -- she also, by the way, frequently took a train south, because a black woman going south was not as suspect as a black woman on a train going north. so she would gather her money, goout, go south, specifically to rescue individuals. and there are times when she would always travel at night. thewould always travel -- example i gave, trying to find, in the woods, some safety. but never traveling by day. and she has certain routes she would follow on the delmar peninsula. she knew safe stations. she also -- i think it is so wonderful -- with this disappeared image, the new image of her. it was a carte d'vis. tubman would often take a carte'dvis with her. she would show it to a person, and if they knew the name of who it was, then they were a safe person. she had a way of making her rounds. so many were able to help her. there was a real record and out into the south d

. >> mcpherson i cannot agree more that telling the story of our history, how we are connected to each other and the value of each segment of our society, and what they have contributed is critical in bringing together as a country and as americans. so i want to thank you of your role as president of cpd. ensuring that public media reflects diversity and inclusivity in this content and outreach is important to meeting that goal. for example, latina public broadcasting under the national minority consortium produces media that betrays the richness of the hispanic. that's also true for other groups. vision media, they highlight the native americans, the center for asian american and pacific islanders. how cpb equipped to the national minority consortium to represent the constituencies in a way that might be neglected by the commercial media? >> right now we know that commercial media has to focus on the bottom line. i was in business, that's what they have to do. they have to have a return on investment. our mission is a return on investment that a is in terms of education and knowledge.
