justice o'connor tells the story about her first job. she was also at the top of her class at stanford law school. and no one would hire her as a lawyer. so she volunteered to work for a county attorney, free for four months. and she said at the end of that four-month period, if you think i'm worth it, you can put me on the payroll. and that's how she got her first job in the law. well, this man called all these judges and he said i have an offer you can't refuse. give her a chance. and if she doesn't succeed there's a young man in her class who will step in and carry you through the year. so that was the kor carat. and then there was a stick. and the stick was, if you don't give her a chance, i will never recommend another columbia student to you. i never knew that until years and years later. i thought the judge -- he had two dauforts and i thought he -- daughters and i thought he must have been thinking about what he would like their opportunities to be. in those days, in the southern district, most judges wouldn't hire women. in the

justice o'connor, would you like to start? >> i can't imagine having grown up any place else except the southwest. i am actually a ranch girl. i grew up on a cattle ranch on the arizona and new mexico border along the hila river. that's about as remote if you can get if you were thinking of the u.s. supreme court, you wouldn't be thinking about it from that ranch. we called it the lazy b because the brand was a capital b lying down which made it lazy. that's where i grew up. and it started out there by my grandfather day in -- in about 1880. and my father then took over management of the ranch and was doing that all through the years that i grew up. and it was such a fun place to grow up. the only problem was, school! because we didn't have a school nearby and a drive-in to lordsberger duncan to go to school every day was just impractical. and my mother didn't really think the schools were that good in duncan or lords burge. instead they packed me off to el paso texas where i had grandparents living in el paso. the only proble

sandra day o'connor is devoted to history in our school system. i agree we should have them in our school system, and by having these documents around, people will go through them and read them more thoroughly. it's not the document that's important, it's the thought process afterwards so you can think about why do we have this document, why do we need this document, and how can we be better citizens now that we have a different society and how can we make our society better? that's why i buy these things and put them on display, so people can think about our country, the good things and bad things. >> david, by loaning us the 13th amendment, you can help people to see and you've helped us understand it's a historic context. please join me, everybody, in thanking david rubinstein.

as that -- as you just heard earlier from sandra day o'connor that was approved by the congress on january 31 1865. and then by december of 1865, it was completely ratified by 27 states. lincoln had no role in actually officially signing the 13th amendment because as you all know, to get an amendment approved you need two-thirds of each house, two-thirds of the members of each house, and three-quarters of the states. there's no official role for the president of the united states in the amendment process. but lincoln was so excited about it that he signed it anyway. and you'll see his signature there. the congress passed a resolution kind of admonishing him for getting in the middle of the process. he wasn't supposed to sign it. then he ignored that anyway. but he did sign about 15 copies of these. and this is one of i think 15. so why did we need an emancipation proclamation and why did we need a 13th amendment? let me give you a ten-minute summary of it, and i don't think i can possibly do justice to all the facts but i'll try to do it very quickly. when our country first started we obvi
