i think that in the nation of islam, there were people in the nation to be as well who who, who, who are in full of much edward and working for the f b i i really do. and in new york city police department, there were people in the nation which are we doing so because they were, they would be doing anything to keep the easiest thing between mister mohammed and brother, malcolm going up, the relationship between the 2 men deteriorated, elijah, mohammed's paternal benevolence turned to distrust as malcolm's gratitude gave way to resentment. from elijah, mohammed's point of view, i think malcolm x was getting too powerful. and some of the older members of the nation of islam were jealous of him. j edgar hoover had achieved his goal of stroking tensions within the nation of islam . the young prodigy whose influence had always been forgiven, was about to overstep the mark. just as america was in a state of devastation the nation was in morning. president knock them was supposed to not say anything. tell him how come not to say anything. it was something that was probably impossible. mount

much easier to help a nation that is ethics. so his irritation and it's, he was not the 1st president, irritated about this, that a lot of nations did not invest enough in their own armed forces. and basically, without saying its expect that the united states to come to the rescue. and that is a very legitimate irritation to be honest. and so what the alliance has done, apparently, as a result of what he asked was going to affect the time, was that now 6 times more nations have reached the 2 percent target. and so $23.00 out of the $32.00 nations now have reached the 2 percent a minimum of 2 percent. so they spend 2 percent or more. so basically what we can do when he arrives in office in january 2025, we can say to him, mister president, in a pleasant way, we can say we have basically done what you have asked rightfully off a lot of nations and more and more nations have a reply to this in a positive way by spending more on themselves. so i think in that sense there is good news when it comes to the lights. the 2nd, if you look

are in fact one nation and that is the work of cultural nationalism. and is called cultural nationalism because it takes cultural work to build up a national identity and it takes cultural embedding in text and speech and civics rites, rituals to create his identity. there are three distinct ways that i will look at here, there is more that could be said but three speeches and the rise in the nationals right after the revolution and the beginning of the nation. that we can think about, first is the first idea of maps, we can know that work one nation if we are pictured as one nation and what you begin to see happen in the early republican in the early days of the new nation, you see maps show up everywhere and everybody keeps there are in the map of this one nation with one set of political boundaries over and over and over. they hang it on walls in the taverns and put on teacups and if you're surrounded of this map of your self in relationship to others, then you will begin to perceive yourself as one with all of these others and so the maps become on

transformed nation. what you are about to witness is a radical and innovative cultural move towards potentiality. this monument is a statement about what we can be as a country, as a nation. and i am in service of something bigger than myself. i learned this from the combat veterans that posed for me. i used army rangers, marines and navy seals. all of them have experi ance. the horrors of war. their face is are on this bronze forever. they are in direct lineage to those young men and women that left our shores 106 years ago. i learned to put my skills to work for a cause that was greater than working in a studio alone. and this sculpture is in service of our nation. it is in service of the veterans today. and the veterans that are no longer with us. so tonight, we are telling their story. and tonight, they will be revered. because this sculpture is for them. i look to history and the past to create something. that must be played forward. it is our history. and that is what unifies us and binds us togeth

the national. the virginia plan is usually looked upon, as i say, as this nationalizing. well, it wants a stronger government. the reality of the virginia plan is, is that it actually benefits large state. it's first and foremost. and that's one of the things about it, i think sort of the misunderstood rantings, if you will, or misapprehensions about the virginia plan is that it isn't strengthening the central as much as people. i think sort of at a popular level presume that it probably did. so yes, it says scrap the articles. the confederate nation. yes. in terms of the changing of the form, we want a to house legislature. it calls for a bicameral legislature. right. yes. it wants a judicial tree. so does the competing plan here. but having said all of that, it proportional represents nation, right? proportional representation. well, there's the rub. if you're a small state and i mean small physically, but especially small terms of population. if you have the numbers, then you have grave concerns about the virginia plan and its call for proportional representation. what

nations we have. i'll i'll leave the current struggle to the people are fighting it they know far more about it than than i do certainly you know what i can say historically. is that native people. in their early 20th century are in such a desperate strait straight that they are grasping for any means as to protect what little had left and you know you know the thrust of my talk was to have confront what a narrow of options there were the conception that native people could simultaneously be citizens and sovereign nations did not exist in hardly any white people's minds. it almost certainly existed native peoples minds. but it wasn't even part of the discussion. the state of reservations by and large was so abysmal that some native people said the only other possibility. here is to get with the mainstream to try to integrate and hope hope hope against historical patterns is that doing everything people ask will lead to some measure of justice and dignity in the public square square. that was and that
