mrs. lincoln refused to go. she was always want to be aware of dress and presentation and was probably not willing to be outdone by a bride. therefore, lincoln saw that this recognition of chase and his daughter in making a presidential visit to the wedding and staying for two hours so that there would be -- i could see the smoke coming out of the white house waiting for him. >> it would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall to hear what she had to say. catherine: she did warn him about the politicians and she was so right in so many cases about people she thought were taking advantage of his good nature. he was willing to be taken advantage of. lincoln was for the union and for moving forward. he was always for conciliation. the notion that he was a flip-flopper is quite offensive. he was willing to let his ego go in order to assuage those who found themselves in positions of pettiness. he was very willing to be empathetic. of course, we are looking for empathy and our leaders. that is how he managed cri

mr. lincoln touched mr. johnson and pointed me out to him. the first expression which came to his face and which i think was the true index of his heart was one of bitter contempt and aversion. seeing that i observed him, he tried to assume a more friendly appearance, but it was too late. it was useless to close the door when all within had been seen. his first glance was the frown of the man. the second was the bland and sickly smile of the demagogue. i turned to mrs. dorsey and said, whatever andrew johnson may be, he certainly is no friend of our race. this turned out to be true to the nth degree. he was probably understating the claim. johnson was the person who actually despised african-american people. you think about the -- it's hard to say -- the problem with, the tragedy that at the moment when the face of african-american people in the united states were being decided, he was at the helm of the government. johnson had been a person who did not care for slavery, but he did not like slavery because he thought that it was bad for the p

lincoln. you know, there is that story about somebody coming in and saying "mr. president, edwin stanton just called me a damn fool." and he said "he is probably right." his son said later that lincoln and stanton had an agreement, actually, sort of a good cop/bad cop kind of thing. lincoln would do what he could to smooth over things. he would leave it up to stanton to really, you know, lay down the laws. as i said, edwin stanton said "no" for the nation. here is another instance. i devote a short chapter to montgomery. i was invited to do jury duty. i arrived at the pension building and i have never seen such a glorious interior space in my life. huge, four-story, white columns. i said "who on earth designed that building?" it was montgomery meigs. i could not find a biography about him. there is one called "second only to grant," and that caught my attention. but i wanted to tell you a few things that were said about montgomery meigs which seemed to indicate a man of tremendous integrity, and it was awfully nice to read that there are still such people around.

mr. chairman -- chairman? really? they thought, who is this midwestern guy? a couple of things about the way he spoke, lincoln did not have this kind of james earl jones bass voice that we expect all of our heroes in america to have. he had a light voice with a southern twining. -- a southern twang. if you have the -- if you watched the spielberg movie on lincoln, daniel day lewis nailed the voice. stephen douglas, he was called "the little giant," he was short and elegant. elegant gestures, a beautiful manner of speaking, perfectly gestured elocution. he was a judge, a great speaker. by comparison, lincoln looked untutored and course. --coarse. but between his wisdom and the way that he reached and connected with his audience, people were drawn to him. times heard this -- at during the debates, lincoln had a habit of drawing his voice download and start shrinking, shrinking the voice. then he would suddenly leap up and the volume of his voice would go up, and people in front row would be startled. because he would be looming over them. but he had sort of robotic and .nattractive gestures it was hugely effect

mr. trump is a racist. the broader question is where is his party that likes to say they're the party of lincoln? well, they're precisely where they have been for the last 40 years, trying to gain electoral advantage by courting this element of our electorate. and that's very, very disturbing on martin luther king day and any other day. >> to our audience, our apologies. in earlier conversation got away from us on time. we've asked both these gentlemen to come back and continue the conversation we have started tonight. and that of course means professor alvin tillry jr. will come back. we'll have you on again very soon as we will jonathan lemire. gentlemen, thank you both.

mr. coward was drafted into the navy in 1942, served during world war ii. after his honorable discharge, he went on to pursue higher education and graduated with his bachelors of science in social studies from lincoln university in missouri and followed it with a masters of science from tuskegee university in alabama. upon completion of his masters, he returned to his alma mater lincoln high school in gainesville to teach civics and history. his interactive style of teaching that included mock government scenarios encouraged students to get involved in government affairs. he later went on to serve as the dean of students for lincoln high school and then transferred as the dean of students to the newly opened high school in gainesville, florida, in 1971. he ended his career in the school system in the county administrator's office, having served in the alachua county school system for over 30 years. while his students remember him for his dedication to shaping young minds, mr. coward is known in the community at large for being the first african-american elected to serve on the alachua county commission in 1974. it's a seat he held for over 18 years, and incidentally it was the first time since the
