the memoir made up the last portion of "the narrative." early ultimately chose to have the narrative published posthumously, a book and to his literary career, though he had written them essentially in the same time. his niece, ruth early, published the narrative in 1912, 18 years after her uncle passed away. true to the original, save the omission of a handful of provocative footnotes that had appeared in the memoir. these two texts were special among early's ample postwar writings. they restored his reputation, established his authority, and dominated his legacy. we are going to talk about how he accomplished these feats, but first, we have to realize that early was writing in a time in which historical standards varied dramatically. early's approach to history likened that of a small, but distinguished group of contemporary historians that the -- that emphasized primary sources impartiality, a truth , sound, not made. indeed, early's has convincing claims with expertise the hold of the many ways the modern scholarly standards. for those

country,e live in a the slave narrative informs every narrative that has come after. would argue that you are watching some form of the slave narrative. if you are watching empire as an escape, you are watching slave narrative. it is one that has informed our humanity. why not engage in it for the education and understand the content of where we are and how we are moving. of the be part conversation where you're not hearing it from everyone else. i'm glad you are watching and i would encourage you to tell others who are resistant to other forms to also engage this narrative. i am made doctoral fellow in baltimore. i'm also a huge fan of the show. i think of an historian who study slavery and many other periods in the africana experience. i am always interested in african spirituality. the remaining spiritual culture that i did the movement and how women figure into it. i really appreciated your per trails of harriet tubman. i guess my question to you and the writers is in what ways will we see or can we see the importance of love and intimacy in harriet's life? loving

i think it's a narrative that drives a lot of people into the military and it's not a narrative that actually reflects the reality of being in combat in my personal opinion, cyber tried to write a book that would work against that narrative to remind people what it's really like to fight in iraq and afghanistan and that so that's why rub my book-- that's why i wrote a book. [applause]. >> i think one of the things that really caught my eye as i was looking over the panel is the fact that you have that experience writing those nonfiction and fiction about work translating your experiences of combat into these different genres and i wondered if you could comments on how the constraints or even the advantages of nonfiction or fiction has affected in which the way you engage with these themes. >> me? >> yes, you. >> okay. i think it's very important to write nonfiction because that's how i learn. in the simple since it would've been difficult for me to write about soldiers in iraq without having been there personally, so i embedded in 2006 and 2010 going on patrol with guys and women. i

not just historical narratives, but contemporary narratives that black women have been writing to addresshis particular part of history. i know you probably can't talk about your future, but i am looking forward to another season. i deftly went to see the harpers ferry thing go down. cannot wait to see that, which by the way, i am hoping that you will get an emmy nomination for your role. fingers crossed. [applause] so yes, i hope you -- i have a question in their? i think it'd. [laughter] >> i think we talk a lot about from the start, it was on the idea of rosalie going on his huge arc from this plain girl who didn't even want to leave and step off the plantation to at the end meeting harriet tubman and decided to go back. we don't talk about them specifically because they are people. we talk about all our characters. of course beyonce. you can't help but have that. i remember i came in and was like we're going to watch lemonade. >> the second of these sought on hbo, it was going to cause all of our money, but let's do it. >> that and toni morrison and everything, is that thing of trying

and i think it's a narrative that drives a lot of people into the military and it's not a narrative that actually reflects the reality of being in combat. so i tried to write a book that would work against that narrative and remind people what it was really like in iraq and afghanistan. so that's why i wrote my book. [applause] >> i think one of the things that caught my eye as i was looking over this panel is the fact that you had those writing those nonfiction about the war, your experiences in, each of these different genres and i wonder if you could comment on how the constraints or even the advantages of nonfiction or fiction has affected the way in which you engage with these people. >>. >> me? okay. >> i mean, look. i think it's very important to write nonfiction because that's how i learn stuff and the symbols and, it would've been very difficult for me to write about soldiers in iraq without having been here personally. so i am betting, in 2006 and 2010, i went on patrol with guys and women, interview soldiers and saw what the landscape look like. i'm interpreters, all that stuf

again, a kind of narrative that we very rarely get to see.t was a real struggle for her to get that film made. what i was so impressed by in that film was the balancing act she managed with the love and the politics. and how the politics never overwhelmed the love and that is what you need for united kingdom. but also i am a big advocate for female directors. i just don't understand why not enough of them are getting to have their voice heard through film. and so you know everything about her as a potential director for this spoke to me, and thankfully when i made the call she said yes. >> speaking of female directors, your friend, ava, from selma, now nominated for a documentary. >> brilliant. >> yes, speaking of which, when we had this oscar so white year just one year ago you were outspoken, and i was glad that you were. >> uh-huh. >> i really appreciate it. i can tell you now face to face i really appreciated so much what you had to say, because it is so difficult for people and you understand this, and that is why i n -- know it was a ri

we talk about narrative and the narratives of the white house.ere's been communicati communication challenges. is this one of those places where the ordinanarratives are something. >> absolutely. i'm sure when candidate trump didn't understand what a major implication would have. but you have to weigh the statement, which i completely understand why a court would take a look at that statement. he wanted a muslim ban. sounds like a muslim ban. it wouldn't be a very good one if that was your intention. i agree. now he's working with muslims to try to stop terrorism. people think it's necessary for national security. people think this is a veiled way to keep muslims out of the country. i think it's more security theater myself personally. that's the issue i have with it. >> at this points, if you've been following american airlines story, i don't think anybody in this story wants to fly here. they're afraid their rabbit will get created or dragged off and beat with a stroller. it's a career move. fly here, make money and get back. i feel bad for tru

when did you understand you lost the public narrative? >> i think that when he was running for president and i'm told i'm we were living in texas and went to a big public high school bears cheerleaders and jobs and that whole thing and then when we were 18 and our dad started running for president all of a sudden i think we became more aware that other people have narratives of us that need or may not be true. there was a time bu that for us there wasn't a lot of social media we couldn't own our narrative because we didn't want to in many ways. we wanted to be college kids and experience the world and focus on not how people perceive us. but also what is interesting is anybody can relate with the fact that when you are part of a group somehow you get kind of characterized so many times people say you're the loud one but allyf people knew us, she commutes into those that know her see it but then you wonder do you call other under stereotypes or play into that more because that is what people think of you and it's been fun to explore that a

you know from what i can see the trans narrative very much reinforces patriarchy because in our culture gender is a sin not a synonym for sexism it's the behavioral caste system that says how men behave how women behave it has no basis in material reality as it's completely based on sexual stereotypes and when you hear i've never heard a trans narrative that does not rely on sexist stereotypes to explain how someone knew they were actually born in the wrong body. but i think to return to the old feminist war cry and start a revolution and stop hating your body wonderful thank you. that was mary will singleton and maya dillard's for. the rights of girls and women were once guaranteed under title nine but new laws are racy means right by blurring the lines of what it means to be female while many trans people face discrimination and have been victims of hate crimes discrimination is not the same as oppression and transgender people are attacked personally because they do not conform to rigid gender stereotypes stereotypes that need to be eradicated girls and women are forced into a catego

yourfabulous narrative, these two would always be...ative, these two would always be... yourfabulous report this morning that we all leapt upon, there was a real ultimatum issued by theresa may to say that unless they 90, theresa may to say that unless they go, you go. they handed in their resignations and the letters and state m e nts resignations and the letters and statements were public today.

. >> jesse: can we talk about the shift in the narrative?ou were right, as much as it pains me to admit that, dana -- >> dana: why? >> jesse: i am kidding. you said the left was going to pick something up from the testimony and the right was going to pick up something from the testimony and they will plant their flag afterwards. it looks like trump was exonerated. comey called trump a liar. that's what they are grasping onto now. is this russia thing over in your opinion? >> dana: you have the bob mueller investigation. hoping to wrap it up in three months. the president can benefit from being in the bully pulpit. he was able to basically fueled the weekend. everyone will be able to talk about it. but it depends on what they are talking about. >> jesse: was that not a good idea? >> dana: let's have it. we are the media. that would be great. i don't know if his lawyers would agree. you get in there under testimony, the issue with the fbi is they've talked a lot more people that you don't necessarily know. when they say we've talked to mike fl

yourfabulous narrative, these two would always be...bulous report narrative, these two would always be... yourfabulous report this morning that we all leapt upon, there was a real ultimatum issued by theresa may to say that unless they 90, theresa may to say that unless they go, you go. they handed in their resignations and the letters and state m e nts resignations and the letters and statements were public today. more on this in the sunday express. make's toxic aid resigns. but ultimately they are only aids and all ministers have advisers, don't they? but the minister or the prime minister in this case, the buck stops there. absolutely. inside westminster and whitehall, people know how powerful these two people were. they were two of the most powerful people in this country, along with theresa may. unelected. unelected. to normal people looking at this, hank on, you have had a bad election result and you have sacked your advisers, that is not a good look, she has not... this is the moment where she has dispatched her chief whip to go

it's about the narrative. what cnn did, which is bigger than all of this, when they chased a narrative instead of the facts. they couldn't find the facts. so they ran with the story. >> kimberly: right. >> greg: i get it. they did it for ratings. trump delivers ratings. it's why all the networks are going up. but the interesting thing about fox news, we don't chase ratings, trump just brings them. if you just cover the news, if you just cover what donald trump is doing, your ratings will be fine. you don't have to create a story that doesn't exist. >> kimberly: so, that's not a mistake. that is willful and intentional choice to push a story and a narrative were carless of their facts to support it. i'm agreeing with you. i'm saying this is not a mistake. a mistake would say that by accident i took a bite of jesse's sandwich because i thought it was mine. >> juan: nobody says i'm going to do something to get fired. >> jesse: this is likely subprime mortgage crisis. you have j.b. morgan pushing these phony loans

narratives have played a significant role in these cases and others.ertainly in the give and take of cross examination. ysk i've seen the validity and relevance. but in the decisions themselves and at trial it's been the broad contours of historical narratives that have mattered the most. this makes sense to me in a way though i'll be curious to see this may be that particular genre particularly on rep reproductive rights and gay rights. but i'm not a lawyer or law professor orlegal historian. but when i read legal decisions and these realms of kaurn constitutional law, they often read like essays where we're looking at key sources, the constitution, blah blah blah and looking at various trends of intrpitation through accounts that try to understand and make arguments about the meaning of a law. historical narratives matter also because courts rely not just on the sort of what i'll call historical biographical analysis but because they pay attention to trudition and history by which they are a more precise narrative of principals and how actively they'

this is the narrative relief. i came up with this concept of a narrative relief because everybody knows about munro and onroe and monroe doctrine. we wanted to publicize and become more well-known among the general population, those aspects of his life that we all know as associates of monroe. we start with over here on the , as a student. then we go crosswise where he is president of the united states for two terms. this shows you the work in my studio on the clay. this is the student aspect. this is the wrenn building. this is the president on the dais. this is the white house, minus the front portico. the capital with the dome which was finished late in his second term. these are two buildings that were prominent for him. this then goes on the monuments. this is the cartouche. it has some relation to what i made in new york which i will , talk about. this is granite, green granite and golden bronze, the college , colors. how could i do otherwise? this is mountain green granite. and of course, the bronze has the

. 0nce riots and politics is about a narrative.eader or politician changes, that's a very difficult force to escape. more than anything, her narrative was i'm strong and stable and instead she is showing to the people of britain that she's not strong, she's not stable and she's not even compassionate. she's enabled to meet the people who have lived a tragedy and hug them like jeremy corbyn did. not only has she lost her narrative she's unable to provide another one. they might not have wanted hugging, but people clearly want answers and here today, still people clearly feel in that part of london that the a nswe i’s feel in that part of london that the answers haven't been given. what's your view? the overall feeling these daysin your view? the overall feeling these days in london is that the government is losing control of too many things. so on monday, the brexit talks are starting. we still have no idea and in brussels they have no idea and in brussels they have no idea what the british government is actually wanting to achieve

a phony narrative.ip from october saying that the election system could not be b rigged, really, that was when he thought that hillary was going to win. watch. >> every expert regardless of political party. regardless of ideology, conservative or liberal who has examine these issues in a serious way will tell you that instances out of significant voter fraud are not to be found. there is no serious person out there who would suggest that somehow you could even rig america's elections, in part because they are so decentralized.s the numbers of votes involved. there is no evidence that that has happened in the past or that there are instances when this would happen this time. so, i would invite mr. trump to stop whining and go and try to make his case to get votes. >> sean: how about you stop whining, trump on whether you like it or not. with reaction to the president, dr. sebastian gorka. knowing what he knew in august, he didn't lift a finger to stop it because he thought his candidate was going to win.

fair beness narrative. -- tax fairness narrative. i think we have trouble on the other half of the narrative which is what do you want to do with that money, how do we need to make america better, how do we need to -- what's the role of government. and that's where things fall apart for us. maybe that's too strong a statement. that's where things are more challenging, because of all the stuff people are hearing about government and, you know, on the left and the right about how the system's rigged, it's working on behalf of the rich and corporations or big unions, you know? so it's that problem. that's going to have to shake itself out. as i say, when the pendulum swings back -- [laughter] swings to the sort of more liberal, progressive side of things, i think that'll shake out. >> the, what about using the tax code to get things done? >> so i think that that has some, you know, i think heather talked a little bit about this already. the more complicated you make the tax code, even if there are benefits to, you know, working people,

the traditional narrative is crumbling even if it is doing so slowly. african-american experience have increasingly privileged role with enslaved men and women not just enlisted african-american men. enslaved african-americans in these interpretations did not need to a list in the union army or service nurses to shape the outcome. to thehallenges narrative have come from a reinterpretation that treats the in gender.s a crisis integrating men, women and gender becomes important when exploring battles and campaigns that took place on the home front. consequently, sherman's march offers an opportunity to understand how gender shaped the course of the military campaign. from the perspectives of soldiers and civilians. indicatives march is of the war as a whole, it further demonstrates the need to apply gender to all aspects. in which the homefront and battlefront often were. implicationsning, and examine from either perspective, gender shaped the behavior of everyone involved in and affected by this offensive. union officials designed the march with gender

well your narrative should take account of the fact that the syrian regime has not been consistently opposing the forces of the islamic state its primary preoccupation over the last several years has been its opponents domestic opponents in syria whom it has labeled smeared if you will as terrorists are terrorists who oppose those who take up who have taken up arms simply nothing that doesn't reflect the realities on the ground in syria look syria is probably the single most complicated political military situation in the middle east today and i don't think anyone sitting in washington moscow. or you name it has a full grasp of those those realities so i suggest that you wouldn't you wouldn't deny the syrian state to protect its sovereignty and to fight against people that rate rise up with it by willingly with outside support i mean that's what we have a legitimate right to protect themselves so yes or no. i think it is abuse that right from the beginning back in two thousand and eleven when it moved with ferocity from the very beginning of unrest first of all saying look no one in

politics is about a narrative, and once your narrative as a leader or a politician changes, that is aficult force to escape. but more than anything, her narrative was i am strong and stable, instead she is showing to the people of britain that she is not strong, not stable, not even compassionate. she is unable to meet the people that have lived a tragedy and hug them, like jeremy corbyn did. not only has she lost her narrative, but she is unable to provide another one. they might not have wanted hugging, but people clearly want answers, and still, people clearly feel in that part of london that the answers haven't been given. the overall feeling in london is that the government is losing control of too many things. the brexit talks are starting on monday and we still have no idea, and in brussels they have no idea, what the british government actually wants to achieve in these negotiations. which is fine, because the government has no idea either, it would appear! everything has changed because of the election, everything is up in the air now. is it maybe a softer brexit? will the ve

to poke a hole in the narrative. if davieses when the time the things begin to shift within economic boom with the most successful economic times 2000 was the start of the great depression but along with a story of what is happening in the economy is happening. so we have 1994 dramatic expansion of a program to support the working poor with the earned income tax credit is the largest anti-poverty program that we have got a lot of people know about it but it insures if you work full-time now i think it is almost $90 billion so there is a huge shift in the safety net with the working poor. >> and then to see the collapse. with a temporary assistance for needy families and across all 50 states feel the floor that they have his footsteps that we now call snap. so what would happen is to redefine what it meant to be deserving so this was seen as a real trade-off. so talk to me how the instability in with that disappearance of the entitlements so the number of people on food stamps have zero income and with those families

the mainstream media pushing their own narrative.hoosing to cover things like climate change and russia more than terror attacks. are they missing the big picture? we have a fair and balanced debate coming up. je'kel jeak plus a police officer who stole the hearts of millions as he danced hand in hand with the young girls in the crowd of the arianna grande concert. we have that next on "fox & friends first." and two in the reserves. our 18 year old was in an accident. when i call usaa it was that voice asking me, "is your daughter ok?" that's where i felt relief. it actually helped to know that somebody else cared and wanted make sure that i was okay. that was really great. we're the rivera family, and we will be with usaa for life. usaa. we know what it means to serve. call today to talk about your insurance needs. [vo] what made secretariat the grwho ever lived?e of course he was strong... ...intelligent. ...explosive. but the true secret to his perfection... was a heart, twice the size of an average horse. this scarf all that's my

the narrative from the bears that said he had go and then the actual ge narrative.f we do not present the ge narrative i think that's not our part the ge narrative is like, look i it was in the works. david is right brennan, chairman, very tough guy, the board was always in -- you know, much too close to jeff but to deny their view as some people did when they said when this analyst said they'd cut the dividend is to run the risk of saying, you know what, the guys at ge, they're not truthful. i'm not going to go there. that seems wrong. >> one last point is, the ongoing chain of multinational manufacturers ceos who have left, right. we talked about the few in a row. not too long ago claus and some others. >> i think if you spent a lot of time with trump, it does not seem -- now, ge was obviously, they wanted -- they favor -- pure free trade. i think if you're underperforming in this era, it does -- in an era by the way that there are activists even going after the largest companies, underperforming is more highlighted, how is that? david, you agree that, more visibl

every image and every narrative. someone wants you to see it and has spent a lot of money sometimes to do that. >> sean: both of you agree with what i'm saying about jeff zucker. this is what i don't understand about time warner. they have shareholders. they are allowing him to stay destroy their brand and advance what is clearly a personal agenda that he has against the president. >> i think that the forced resignation of the three journalists, by the way -- >> sean: they used fake news cover fake news. they didn't resign. >> i want to be nice is jeff zucker. they were so shocked by the victory of donald trump. it took everyone by such surprise that they never recovered their balance. they had some fine reporters. even in their white house team. sean just rolled his eyes. you missed it. but they have a personal agenda now. they have to show that they were right right along and that he's an illegitimate president. >> as the campaign was so disastrously long for those who predicted trump couldn't do it. by the way, i

today spinning a new narrative.ll people about russian interference in the election, but no one would listen to her, despite the fact the democratic national committee denied access to the serve the f.b.i. told the democratic party had been hacked by the russians. clinton accusing the trump campaign for weaponizing data. >> they came to jared kushner and basically said we'll marry our operation, which was more as it's been described, psycho graphic sentiment, a lot of harvesting of facebook information. they married content with delivery and data. and it was a potent combination. now, the question is where and how did the russians get into this. and i think it's a very important question. lou: where did that question come from? all of a sudden the question is the russians? joining me now to talk about the latest attempt to spin a narrative on her loss, the dnc was the first known intrusion of the russians in presidential politics and the f.b.i. was denied access by the dnc, fan with a cyber invasion, they meek any w

it allows the media to pick and choose their narrative.ake immediately. howie: the new york's "daily news," you can see the word in big type, "liar." amy, did you find the coverage to be rather one-sided. amy: if james comey showed up in spandex in a wrestling match they couldn't have been happier. there has been reporting on conservative blogs that showed james comey may have been misleading the senate intelligence committee when he said donald trump is the only president he had to take notes about, now, you see additional reporting that shows james comey also took notes in meeting with george bush. a tv anchor assured me george bush would never take a private meeting with someone in the white house. then we come find out george bush did exactly that, with guess who, james comey. howie: the takeaway seems to be comey is a guy who told the truth. then you have some conservatives on fox and elsewhere making comey the bad guy, calling him terrible names. it speaks to your point. each side taking aware what they want from this hearing. jessic

but there is this very strong narrative. we're trying to figure what is responsible for the opioid crisis. in these conversations you have with families, had they given up on the american dream?were they despairing? or were they hopeful? >> really good question. you know, i felt like what i heard was fundamentally, mostly optimistic. so i thought about one family in particular who - the head of the financial household is sarah. she had a lot of financial hardship during the time we got to know her. and before and after. and yet, she was working her way through college. she graduated from college and 40. and was planning to start a masters degree. a lot of work was going into that mobility and at the same time - >> pushing the woman superintendent given her credit score high? >> know that was another one that was also thinking about her masters. but you know they are a little linked in my mind also. most people who were experiencing trouble with credit had declared bankruptcy in the other we ended up by the time we were done

when did you understand that you had lost the public narrative about your life? >> guest: that's a good question. i really think when we were 18, when my dad became president or when he was running for president we were entering college. and until then we were living in texas. we went to a big public high school that is like every other, almost made for tv. there's like cheerleaders and jocks come marching band and that whole bible. and when were 18 and a dad started running for president all of a sudden i think we became more aware that other people had narratives of us that may or may not be true. there's always a little bit of truth and a stereotype or in a narrative, but after he was president and that was a time when there wasn't actually likely for us a lot of social media. >> hallelujah. >> we wanted to b the college ks pick wanted to experience the world. i wanted to focus on that more than how did other people perceive us really. >> guest: also what's interesting is that anybody i think he can relate with the fact when you're part of siblings are part of

but there is this very strong narrative trying to figure out who is responsible for the opioid crisis. in these conversations you had with families, had they given up on the american dream, worth a despairing. it was mostly so optimistic. they had the financial household from our perspective and she had a lot of financial hardship from the time we got to know her before and after and was working her way through college. a lot of work was going into that upward mobility. she was also thinking about her masters. but they are people that work experience in trouble with credit. it was at some point in the future they were both working towards a better life and she said life is not only about the money so much as fulfilling and satisfying. we never look at these numbers and think about that. that is one of the pieces that was powerful and important to me and you get the holistic sense of their life and this is someone that really financially was not stable. but she said that is only part of what life is about and she was talking about the trade-offs of what it would take to budget effectiv

a lot of it has to be done from narratives being spoken. one of your speakers earlier spoke about london, they don't have guns there. gun violence is going to happen. this is going to be an eye opener for more security to be in more areas they weren't thinking of because we have violence. it's going to happen. people are going to go off the chain for whatever reason it is. we don't need to be stoking the firing through all these angry, hateful attack messages through the media. we need to sit back and listen. sadly the last gentleman, it is a democratic thing. i never heard too much threats coming from a republican or independent. host: do you think that incident like this is going to create less access for the public and their representative members of congress? caller: personally, i don't see any actions being taken because you're still going to have everything being stoked from the media on an outside thing. whether it be truthful or not. they are going to add their two cents because most of the media turn into an extended version of jer

his travel narrative was among the first published sources to use the name oregon. >> and he used it as a name for a river. the river oregon. which he named as one of the four major rivers in north america. though there was the mississippi river, the st. lawrence river, what he called the berman river or borbon which was probably saskatchewan river owing out of the canadian rockies and into the hudson bay and forth was the river oregon which flowed out of the rockies westward toward the pacific ocean. so this most likely was the columbia river but he didn't know the location or of the columbia river at that time so there's some uncertainty whether it could've been the fraser river rather than the columbia river but in any case there was a lot of interest even before the 18th century and finding out what major river flowed west from the rockies to the pacific because that was likely to be the major conduit for trade into north america, just as the mississippi and the st. lawrence were the avenues of trade to the central part of north america and not the united states. if we go back to
