at fort monroe there is a push-full. fort monroe is important because it is where the first africans anded with a white lion in 1619, and a place for their first declared contraband of war and eventually they would gain their freedom. so that space is a sacred space and it needs to be remembered. it needs to be commemorated, and most importantly, they need to lead the charge to changing how we see our history. ecause we have for so long eliminated not only from the public space but from our american narrative those things we don't want to talk about. it is time we start talking about it. [applause] one more question. thank you. [applause] >> you're watching american history tv. all weekend, every weekend on c-span 3. to join the conversation, like us on facebook at c-span history. >> this weekend on american history tv, stanford university professor richard white tells the story of four key investors in the transcontinental railroad linking the east to the west. here is a preview of the program hosted by the stanford his

we have on phone with us cecil can tremendously, sheriff of monroe county in mississippi.f, for spending a a couple of minutes with us. tell us what you're seeing there. i understand you described to our producers that it is a mess there. >> actually, what we are doing is waiting until daylight comes. we know we got probably over a hundred homes that either black and blue destroyed or structural damage. we do know that we have one -- at least one fatality. we have trees down all over the county, especially in the south and eastern part and the northern part of our county. of course, we got electric lines down, power poles down and serious situation. trees all over the road. it's really bad here. >> i know you had a heads-up regarding this coming. is there an indication people took that information to heart that they were prepared for this? >> i think a lot of people did. i think most of the people down in our part of the country, we have a lot of storms and weather conscious. still some folks say it's not going to hit here, so you just don't ever know. you don't know about

i always saw it as monroe was looking forward, not backward. and that he wanted the white house to represent what he believed the presidency should be. host: how did americans feel about their president having anything french at that time? we have gone through various iterations of our feeling about being focused on america versus internationalist. matthew: i was going to say, james monroe was really popular. not a lot of people want to speak out about it. after he left office, congress passed a law in 1826 mandating that any furniture that is purchased for the president east's house be an american manufacturer. host: some things never change. matthew: some say it was a swipe at monroe or john quincy adams who came into office and had a different level of popularity? either way, it was probably more a reflection of the changing times. you are in the mid 1820's now, the united states, in terms of craftsmanship, had blossomed ince 1800. there is a question of if this is supposed to be representation of who we are as americans, shouldn't the thing

and the marilyn monroe, $6,000.are some of the gold nuggets, what's the whole collection worth? what kind of numbers are we talking about? give me a ballpark. >> i would say for insurance purposes, this is a million-dollar collection, easily, because of the condition. >> in tim's opinion, it might have been worth even more. >> there's a lot of variables that go into this. let's take a look at the elvis photograph, for example. you see it says "to jack"? >> yes. >> well, because it says "to jack," that's limiting the market because is jamie going to be interested in something that says "to jack"? i'd rather just have a regular signature. so, with the "to jack" on it, you're looking at the $800 to $1,200 price range. >> i contacted several of the largest auction houses that deal in autographs. one suggested they will put together a book to honor jack kuster and market the product as the jack kuster collection. juan carlos asked me, does this mean that people would be able to buy particular items out of the collection

fatalities in monroe, mississippi but not specific numbers on that yet. they are just reporting multiple fatalities. the sheriff there is saying more than 100 homes have structural damage. the situation is, quote, really bad. it's a mess. he says it looks like something exploded in the town. >> in texas even worse. two children were killed after a tree fell on a car they were traveling in during the storm. power lines are down and large trees ripped down and some roads are impassible this morning and authorities are beginning to assess the extent of the damage' see more when the sun is up. we are 5 minutes from sunrise in mississippi where the storm hit and we are getting our first glimpses of the destruction and this is just mississippi. the damage is widespread. look at this. storm chaser brandon clement has just arrived in hamilton, mississippi, that is in monroe route and just sent us this video. this was the volunteer fire department. the building has collapsed. the emergency vehicles there damaged. >> i want to show you more video that brandon sent

and the most underrated. >> most over -- i will just say we mention james monroe. i think he's underrated. i think richard was given brian a book the air of good feelings earlier, but monroe has not had that big seminal biography the way david mccullough wrote a book on john adams or one of those treatments. i think there's an opening from monroe to be understood more. the most overrated is hard. because it's the most, but i just can't quite, you know, because i don't think our top group are overrated. i think they're all about right. it might be we overinflated modern president because they're part of her own time and lose sight of some of the presidents from the 19th century because we just don't know them as well. there might be a modernity inflation going on here with some presidents. >> edna, a chapter on millard fillmore. would you like to comment more on that? is over or underrated? [laughing] >> i don't even remember when i gave that interview. [laughing] >> clagett did because otherwise we wouldn't have -- >> you know, he could've done more during that tim

doug: everyone in the audience would know the monroe doctrine. and hoovervilles. sometimes people only remember a couple of things about a president. part of the virginia dynasty and having that great connection with washington and the other founders. brian: you all are to know that there will be cards on the side for those of you that want to ask questions. we will go to that before too long. this will be a 90 minute evening that we have together. so we have some time. i will go back to the three historians and ask why the three of you have devoted your life to history and to the study of presidents? edna: mines along story. -- mine is a long story. [laughter] i will try to make it short. i grew up in charleston county, virginia. the birthplace of john tyler. [laughter] it was a county that was 82% african-american when i was growing up. i noticed that they didn't really have a lot of authority over the county. that was about all we could do. as a child, i wondered where i fit into all of that. when i went off to college, i decided -- let me be honest. i started

. >> interesting when president monroe 200 years ago there was a monroe doctrine.id to any major world power, you don't mess in our neighborhood, you don't come to our hemisphere, john kerry, secretary of state to president obama, said that monroe doctrine does not matter, who was listening in we were not, but chinese were and russians were now they are making their move. lou: we were listening, i recall talking with you about it on a find novembefind november whichd that. >> obama -- the obama administration has a lot to hannato --answer for. >> absolutely. lou: president talking about secures border and working with mexican government, looking at preceding governments. we can keep going, but certainly george h.wgeorge w. bush ratione present of illegal ill grant in country, doing jobs that americans won't do. it has been 16 years ofi exploitation and opportunityism by corporate established globalist interest in the country. exploits that cheap labor, this president having to to with it issue after issue where this president, he has to contend with hemisphere on f

but monroe's performance as president and hoover's performance.t's one of the eternal what-ifs i think anyone who plays this game has to grapple with. >> sometimes we only remember a couple things about a president so monroe got the beneficiary the virginia dynasty and having the great connection with washington and the other founders.>> first of all, y'all would want to know that there would be some cards on the side those of you who want to ask questions will go to that before tomorrow. this will be a 90 minute evening being together. but i like to go back to these three historians and ask why the three of you have devoted your life to history and to the study of presidents. >> mines a long story. [laughter] i will make it short. i grew up in charles city county virginia, the birthplace of john tyler. it was a county that was 82 percent african-american when i was growing up. i noticed that we didn't really have a lot of authority over the county, we could vote but that was about all we can do. as a child i wondered where i fit into all of that.

doug: i will just say, we mentioned james monroe. i think he is underrated. brian a bookiving there, an era of good feelings earlier. but monroe has not had that take seminole biography the way david mccall wrote a book on john or one of those treatments. i think there is an opening for munro to be understood more. as a foreign-policy president. the most overrated is hard. because it is the most -- i just can't quite -- because i do not think our top group are overrated. i think they are all about right. overinflatede modern presidents because they are part of our own time and we lose sight of some of the residents from the 19th century because we just in not know them as well. there might be a modernity inflation going on here with some presidents. brian: edna, you are in -- he wrote a chapter would you like to comment on the? [laughter] i do not even remember when i gave that. [laughter] edna: -- brian: glad you did because otherwise we would not have a moderator. [laughter] edna:edna: he could have done me during that. '-- during that period. there is so m

in fact, we just got off the phone with the monroe county sheriff. this is out of eastern mississippi. we were watching very closely the radar. we saw some strong signatures of tornadic development. and it appears that this particular area, monroe county, got hit quite hard. i quote, he says it looks like a storm came up through louisiana into mississippi and exbloodied over monroe county. we ar miss, we hit very, very hard, we have a lot of flooding, there are several trees down. this is a story we're going to follow. to backtrack a little bit on the franklin, texas, torn that you saw the damage on, that was an ef-3 tornado. winds over 140 miles per hour. that is incredible. i'm going to try to get ougall details. you're watching the moments when this franklin tornado spawned. you can see how ominous those skies are. this is referred to as a wedge tornado. it's often where the base of the tornado is wider than the actual height of the tornado. this is a large, very significant, very destructive tornado that moved through the eastern portions of texa

also in this state one was killed in this home in monroe county. marcus moore is in alto, tk, where two kornds touched down. >> reporter: tonight on the move leaving a trail of destruction across the south. killing at least eight and injuring dozens. >>> >> we are still getting reports of tornados on the ground. >> reporter: in texas a powerful ef tornado with 140 winds in franklin chblt leveling homes, others scattered everywhere. violent winds toppling trees and leaving thousands without lift 6789 >> reporter: and this is the spot where about 100 people gathered for an annual event at that building thereof in the distance. the storm coming through, tossing around these cars. tan that building took a direct hit. sadly, one person passed away. in cherokee county, people seeing ruins where their homes once stood. we were in alto a town hit with two powerful tornados in 90 minutes as rests dents came back to their neighborhoods trying to make sense. >> tall i have is on the clothes on my back. >> reporter: the winds from the event so strong uprooting

he said the monroe doctrine is alive and well. that doesn't mean armed force.nvoked that yet. all options are on the table. ian, the roosevelt corolary -- >> means willingness and capacity to use actual force on the ground to defend the monroe doctrine. this is our back yard. cuba, the russians stay out of cuba. we're prepared to go the nuclear war to keep the russians out of cuba. they all feel like they have their own monroe doctrine. >> dana: you were just in brazil. did you hear anything about concerns there? >> they're very concerned about the fact that there is this very imploding economy and regime. and the government in brazil is very aligned with the trump administration and wanting to squeeze venezuela as hard as humanly possible. their economy's not doing very well. they've gotten by far the worst recession they've experienced since brazil's become a democracy. and people are angry. the political divide inside that country feels at least as bad, probably worse, than it does in the u.s. it's dividing work places. >> dana: you said they have a big pens

tammy lightener is on the ground in monroe, louisiana. comes down, tammy, how bad has it gotten and how bad will it get? >> reporter: hey, richard. i can tell you the rain has been picking up. also the thunder and the lightning in just the last few hours. we're under a tornado watch here in monroe, but a tornado did -- you can hear it behind me, thunder and lightning. like i said, every few minutes here. we're under tornado watch in monroe, but a tornado did touch down in franklin, texas, earlier today. we spoke with the sheriff there. he said he's been sheriff for 20 years and in his 20 years he has never seen anything like that. house after house demolished. he said two people were rushed to the e.r. after his rescue crews went house to house, about a dozen other people taken to the hospital. he said, you know, this is a town of about 1,500 people, a lot of people there don't have a lot. it's a working class town and a lot of people have lost everything. just a really sad sight there. it's not just texas. 31 million people in the southe
