what it is that juries are exonerating these people. why black people are feeling progress.white did you receive the type of reception from a large segment of congress let alone america that he did. i think people are searching for those answers. oftentimes, answers can be found in history. i think one of the ways in which i hope the book makes a contribution is it says to people that our senses that racist ideas were a racist person is simply a person who says the and word, it is actually a lot more complex than that. many people, including well-meaning people, has articulated racist ideas, have defended racist policies, and we truly want to create antiracist america, it is important for all of us to come to grips with the ideas we have consumed over our lifetime. >> how do you get them to re- examine their own assumptions? how do you help them in this text expand their inventory of ideas about what racist ideas are? >> it makes perfect sense. we defined their ideas as racist. that is one of the major contributions of the book. >> doesn't that shut down the conversation som

people can't be racist because black people don't have power, is to simultaneously say that white people are all-powerful. and to say that white people are all-powerful is to express one of the oldest racist ideas in history, which is that white people are like gods. and so i don't think, despite many people making the case, the white people are gods and they are all-powerful, that that is the case. and i also think i'd also showed in "stamped from the beginning" that black people can say that black people are lazy. and i think we should also recognize the function of racist ideas. i think that's one of the whole contributions of "stamped from the beginning" it the way racist ideas function and operate in our society is it causes people when they see racial disparities, it causes of them to blame black people for those racial disparities as opposed to racial discrimination. and so then the next step becomes to either civilize foreign cars that black people. and black people are part of the project, as opposed to doing what? challenging racial discrimination. and so fundamentally that's w

black people -- poor black people. if we were to look out as black people as human as us, i think it would make a world of difference. >> and within the communities where this has happening, certainly young black men are killing other young black men who look just like them, who live just like them. >> another way for us to understand this, if any of us were to go on today and pull up what are the top causes of death in this country, homicide is not even there. right, it's not even there, right, and so that's one of the reasons why, you know, even though people demean these young black males, right, are we demeaning all those white males who voted for trumpcare who presumably are going to cause way more death, right, if that bill is passed than these young black males, so i think we have to think bigger, right, when we think of who is the most dangerous, who is killing americans, it is not these young black males, when we imagine why is it that so many americans are obese, why is it that so many americans die of heart

people actually produce. people create, people make choices.ochs inherited a lot of money and made a lot more money. the steve jobs, the bill gates created their wealth, and all of your viewers are beneficiaries, enormous beneficiaries, the vast majority of the 1% are people that have worked hard, have created something, have built something and deserve it. >> that is absolutely preposterous. there are people who live in my building who go out and clean apartments all day who work ten times as hard as most ceos who are dirt poor. meanwhile, ceos sit by -- they own a capital stock, they sit by the pool waiting for the butler to come out with a tray -- john: jesse, you told us everyone deserves a dignified life. >> absolutely. john: -- in which their material security is a guaranteed right. and that includes a college education, healthy food -- >> if people want a college education -- john: comfortable housing and health care. >> free time and money to spend during it. every single person -- >> that is not dignity. when people get without produci

john: guns do kill people. >> people kill people. people kill people.se] i'm really glad you brought that up. one of the things we found is, giving people exposure to firearms, a lot of people have never held one in their life. they have been misled by hollywood or certain senators who think that things like ghost guns exist or that there are, that you know, a regular five by six round is heat-seeking bullet. one thing we'll do, we'll raffle gun safety courses, have a live fire portion, or we'll just have people come in who are students, just like they are, who have had a different experience and it is, it is contact with firearms and with people who carry firearms. you realize they're not crazy. they're not violent. people who carry firearms generally have a great sense of responsibility because you're raised with it. [cheers and applause] >> hi, my name is sara. i used to attend simmons in boston, small woman's college necklace one of the highest race areas in major city. in our school we were not allowed to carry pepper spray. i lived on campus i had

but the thing is, people say we must help people so well to let people buy insurance who are already sick. because if we don't we're foot good people and then compassion is equated with money. people start throwing all kinds of money at every problem which isn't republican and isn't truly compassionate if you destroy the country in the process. the thing is let's throw more money at this and it got biger and biggernder but the fundamental flaw of obamacare is this -- if you tell people they can buy insurance after they're sick and then you put a bunch of mandates on insurance to make it more expensive so poor people and working class people can't afford and it say you can buy it when you're sick. they wait to buy it until they're sick. so you get sicker and sicker people and the young, healthy people don't buy it. so what did the republicans offer to replace it with? they said we'll subsidize it. they weren't going to fix it so what is the real problem here? do you think i don't care about sick people? my family are sick, very sick. trying a lot of my life to get people well. so i do

amy: what were people saying on the base? >> the truth is, people still did not know. i was the first person to tell my chain of command what had happened. my leadership was quick to reassure me and say they supported me and they have my back and that we are a team and they were in my corner. amy: so what exactly does this mean? i mean, if he is banning all trans, members who are -- are they going to bases all over the world, not to mention here like yours, for lewis him and kick you out? >> i could not speak to what is going to happen next. what i know is i a been serving for 18 years now. i have served honorably and probably. it is my intention to continue to serve and it is my golden make it so i can do that. amy: the pentagon has major to reassignment covered help benefit as ordered by the obama administration. what would it mean to transgender service members to lose this benefit? >> well, i don't think health care should be considered a benefit, first of all. we have to remember that what the previous secretary of defense had is that all medically necessary care

and some people didn't. and so once you have a hierarchy within the society, those are people who are thinkers, artists, administrators can leaders, et cetera, decided they wanted other people to work for them. most visitations of slavery really evolved from those persons who are conquerors, who conquer other people and then they really subject those of the people to becoming their workers. the people who are going to work for them. and so this is really where slavery comes at most of the time. slavery has been used as a form of conquering, as a form of labor. it's also been used as a way of indicating one's wealth, because to be able to own of slates range of a certain amount of money, that you have a certain amount of status within your society. slavery is all those things and comes from all of those things. >> host: is american slavery unique in any way? >> guest: american slavery is unique to a certain extent. i think what a lot of people don't understand about slavery in the united states is that it's a

and brutalized people. i know about blind pigs well. my father ran one for quite a while. the context of what was going on was this was a harassment of people. the response was the only response available. there was no one in the police department, no one in the city government that said you should curtail these kinds of harassing activities and try to address these concerns. the larger context of it is these were communities under which people were not given any kind of ownership at all. redlining was the practice quite legal at the time. it certainly was carried out. the banks would draw a circle around communities and not make loans. even if you were a middle-class african american in detroit or st. louis or los angeles, you could not get a loan to purchase , not in thriving areas in detroit. those were the conditions under which people -- conditions people were facing in the mid-1960's. none of that changed until people were able to get political power and positions on city councils and school boards an

the people who complain are the people who get the most benefits out of the tax system. if those things weren't there, they would pay, in many cases, higher taxes. it is very odd. i think some education is harder than it looks. anyway. >> all of these questions are good. >> look at the reasons, the messaging that the republicans, that paul ryan used in its blueprint always lead to the simplification. and they are actually not talking about getting rid of loopholes, they loopholes, making the system fairer, sort of co-opted our language i'm not. the simplification can appeal to everybody. fundamentally who uses all the loopholes. the folks at the top. i think we have half of the narrative that is successful or not is the taxpayer's narrative. we have trouble on the other half, which is what you want to do with that money? how do we need to make america better? that is where things fall apart for ross. that is where things are more challenging because i'm all the stuff people are hearing about government and about how the system is rigged, really working on behalf of rich

of color, poor people, old people, young people to vote.t is what we are facing today. and that is a lot of obstacles. but this is what i also know. i also know something about american history. and i know that 150 years ago in this country, working people had no rights. they were treated like animals. they were forced to work 12, 14 hours a day. children of 10, 11 years of age were working in factories and losing their fingers. kids were working in fields. and workers 150 years ago stood up, under tremendous -- with tremendous opposition against them. and they said to their bosses -- they said, "we are not animals. we're not beasts of burden. we are human beings. we're going to form trade unions." and i thank the american trade union movement for all they have done. and my pledge to you is we will pass legislation making it easier for workers to form unions. and when we think about american history, we think about a hundred years ago, 120 years ago, when african americans, under the most outrageous conditions, stood up and fought for digni

the only people that will have insurance are people who have acute conditions. that will make insurance itself unaffordable adventures will stop offering products, or they will jack up rates to the point that it is totally unaffordable for everyone. and so in the affordable care act that is what led to the individual mandate in the republican health care bill that is what led to this provision that lock you out of insurance for six months. but that has been ruled essentially out of order under reconciliation. and so republicans will be faced with a choice if they are able to get onto this bill. they will either remove that provision and guarantee the collapse of the entire insurance market in this country, or they will have to strengthen that penalty in order for it to be allowed under reconciliation. but that essentially robs the last rhetorical argument that republicans had in favor of this bill. they can't argue to provide more people with insurance. they cannot argue that it helps with cost. they cannot claim that it increases quality. they know that. the on

military and otr tranans people. i have worked with a a lot oft as well. vetets as well. i'veve seen the reality of what the job is like for many in the u.s. whwhat does s it mean when we oy frame e the story as a set of people who want to endorse the u.s. military right now and are serving? opportunity isst that? amamy, you mention the politico story in your intro and the ways in which we are coming to learn that perhaps this is less abobot trans phobia, but more about his desire to build his wawall and t his huge defense budget passed. as, is it about trans people's well-beieing or not? we have to say, how has the u.s. military had a history of recruiting very vulnerable populations? may not see that as coercive, but i see that differently. trans people struggling to have basic health and housing services. we are framing it as you should have to join the military to get basic housing, health servivice, and employment is concerning to me. i thinink it is vital we look at it in n a broadway and not supporting people

people started funneling into that area. people started moving that way. communicatee to more easily with people in the east. you have more constant communication, you have more input from the people in the west on maybe government policies, it will strengthen the union overall. we do see during the national road era, indiana and illinois added as states to the unit. we were really growing our country that way, the national road is binding the states together. it will also improve commerce and help expand capitalism. we are creating a larger american economy, we have routes for bringing resources back and forth between east and west. in many different aspects, socially, culturally, economically, politically, it really does connect the east and west. >> what does it mean to different people? >> the national road has multiple meanings, and it depends on who you are looking at along the road and their relationship to the road and what it means to them. some people thought the road was going to be so important, even before it was built, that they wanted to hav

lawrence: i sense a lot of hostility toward older people. people just want us to go away. you had your time, now it is time for us. and we are not ready to do that. yes? >> i do not think ronald reagan is a good example since he had alzheimer's while he was president. lawrence: he got it during his second term. when he was elected, he was 70 years old. >> anyway, my cousin is, i do not understand why you say social security is an entitlement and costs money. half the money put in is from employers and the other half from employees. and, you know, it is our pension. it is not an entitlement and there is an easy solution, raising the cap. lawrence: my point is that there is a lot of backlash against it, people wanted to go away. >> let me just say that i will turn 66 years old tomorrow. lawrence: happy birth day. >> i feel better physically and psychologically than i did when i was 26. lawrence: thank you. >> so it turns out that the baby boomers' contribution to society, the emphasis on the importance of diet and exercise, which a lot of people my age are getting into, woul

love it and some people don't you know it's just different people have different personalities but i tell you what what the president has ever been investigated by the f.b.i. and that's not news i mean you can't say he when republican subcommittees are investigating you and the f.b.i. is investigating you that we're making it up you may not like us talking about it but we're just covering the news. abraham lincoln once the public sentiment is everything with public sentiment nothing can fail without it nothing can succeed what's the public sentiment toward washington i think right now you know it's in the toilet and swirl in an account a cock was direction good i think people look at both parties i think you know you may have your favorite team in this and god bless you if you do but i think most people feel like geez i remember when democrats were did i fight with those good hard working union folks as well as blacks and others what happened to that i think people look at all of the. and say listen how he be the party of lincoln the party of lincoln and the party of steve bannon tha

off health insurance, people with cancer, people with heart disease and diabetes and people with life-threatening illnesses, what do you think will happen and what the study show is that thousands and thousands of americans every year will die unnecessarily because they will not have the treatment they need to deal with their life-threatening illnesses. that is the reality. that's not bernie sanders talking. that is study after study after study. thousands of people will die. that is the result. in the house bill, if you throw 23 million people off of health insurance, defund planned parenthood, if you make all the people pay more for healthcare, $800 billion in cuts to medicai medicaid, what else is in the bill? oh, there are some people who do wellin the bill. not the children or the elderly, not the sick, not the poor, but there are some people. we have to acknowledge that. that is, if you are in the top 1%, congratulations republican legislation after throwing disabled children off of healthcare, congratulations you will get a massive tax break. who in america believes that it makes sense to

people without healthcare, people in war and famine. what motivates me with what i do coming from a household. that's the business i'm in, whether it is healthcare or any other. that's what my job is. >> that is a great note to end on looking ahead from all of your years. >> i laid out some areas that we ought to move into in terms of policy direction but overall, i had never run for office before i ran so it was a steep learning curve not ashamed to say that it was like me going to school studying getting a hold of the issues and understanding them and bringing to bear what i thought was the right direction. i was scared when making the decision to run. i tell the story in the orientation when i was at the table with the congressman talking about the budget appropriation i want to tell the words i said it's actually in the book i said i'm in over my head and how could i ever talk to this man, he is one of my dearest friends and a mentor to me that people have said to me, congresswoman did you make the right decision and has the job tha

on this possible and sometimes they are dead people in the people have drowned in a few centimeters of water because of the panic and also because. maybe some of the petrol leaking it was. a panic because there are other people. going to vote sometimes. people under there and there was sometimes in hill of a few. water gets in there as well the conditions are really horrible it's very challenging physically and also emotionally and even mentally because you have to prepare your. for anything that could be deaths i know in december we had people die of hypothermia and there could be pregnant women we've had children born aboard the curious are the. people who live at the golden liberty yet we're going to learn how to be medically evacuated so you have to prepare for anything what kind of stories do people tell you about why they're prepared to make a journey there's so many angles to look at this because you have sub-saharan africans there those who are coming from countries where it is violence from northern nigeria who are fleeing boko haram but then you have a huge case of human t

fit as many people on this possible and sometimes they're dead people in the people have drowned in a few centimeters of water because of the panic and also because. maybe some of the petrol leaking it was. a panic because they're paying these people. sometimes. people under there and they will sometimes inhale of a few. water gets in there as well the conditions are really horrible it's very challenging physically and also emotionally and even mentally because you have to prepare yourself for anything that could be death. we have people. that could be pregnant women with. young people who are in labor to go into labor you know we're going to be able to be medically evacuated. for anything what kind of stories do people tell you about why they're prepared to make a journey so many angles to look at this. but then you have a huge case of human trafficking and. where people are being brought in. to ship. people who are fleeing libya who are businessmen and traders business women working. in libya. people are being kidnapped held hostage. over and over and over we had people on board d

people. kim from ohio, democratic line for congressman ryan. caller: good morning. i believe the democrats are to be morether liberal than what we think we are. everyone wants health care, everyone wants to live sufficiently. everyone wants to be stable and thelieve that is the republicans to me is -- so much to people and people need to get educated. democrats have the greatest message and they do, it's just got to be more like bernie sanders to say the things boldly. maybe as a democrat myself on a bold person. that's what the democrats need to do. i'm not paying attention to trump. i pay attention to the house of representatives and senators. because i'm a politic junkie and i love this and i know the democrats know how to write legislation. guest: i think you are right. our platform, what we stand for is progressive democrats, i -- kenexa could next with the majority of the country. sometimes we aren't as bold or aggressive in saying this is what we stand for and here is why. we tend to d

people's live's better, as well as people who voice confidence the u.s. will live up to its end of the bargain. they are more likely to go into the second category of, you know, let's -- that they're more open to renegotiation. but when you look at people who say that the nuclear deal has not made people's lives better or that they feel the united states will not live up to its obligation, they're a lot more likely to reject the agreement. now, i'm going to -- for times sake, i'm going to go into the last section of the results. and that's iran's regional involvement. and a lot of that has been, now, after the terror attacks are being discussed, through that lens. we started collecting data seven days after the terror attacks. you ask questions about that. and overall, i mean, 52% to an open ended question, when we asked them, who do you think was behind the terror attacks, isis is the number one entity that is named. but also united states and saudi arabia. now, this is an open-ended question. and a closed-ended question. when we asked how likely these e

happens and waves of people step into the streets and then likewise matter happens and waves of people step into the streets and then you know the climate change that people keep step new people keep entering and you know it's from selection suddenly you have tons of new people that say look old now is the time i need to get active in there's always dynamics that happen when a new group of people step into something. and there's been people there many many years before but it's important to find ways not to make enemies of those people but to be inviting and to be welcoming and to to use it to kind of refresh and renew and strengthen the movement. so it's great to see the activists in the streets and home the signs but what happens after the streets where you know where does the activism go you know after after the protest. yeah i mean i think there is this difference of sort of. generating power and then wielding that power and i think. for people who are brand new often there can be some conflict confusion and dissonance and you think well if we start to engage in the political proce

these people around that they can mobilize people around us. so one way is to focus on one issue and just parent down. the other is for people whateveh lane they are interested in their lane. there are at least two ways to do it. >> thank you teach of you i enjoy very much what you're saying. which you comment on the underlying reason that some of this and these policies are being foster in each of these departments?s?ments, where the structures andadmi administrative procedures are being decimated? we can see it's happening in been reported in the paper but can you comment on the underlying policy and reason it's occurring? >> it's to free up capitalism. julianne puts it in economic language in terms. but in fact, it is about freeing up capitalism from regulatory constraints so that more profits can be made. that's the bottom line. whether on the environment and what they're doing and the epa, whether it is rules of the labor department, whether it's getting rid of the office and contract, whatever it is we see it the stuff that they're doing

by the people for the people to government of a few of the people by a few of the people for a few of the people kind of corporatism obviously has replaced democracy i think where people are now is figuring out who if anyone is willing on their side in all this where do the republicans stand where do the democrats stand and i think people have to take some responsibility here to people feel that way but then if they feel that way why haven't they been voting i mean i seventy five percent feel that way why haven't seventy five percent voted in most of our elections so i think that the current crisis that we're going through is really waking people up this is a moment of peril and possibility people have to think deeply about how their own disengagement in many cases contributed to getting this bad and then a kind of reengagement which sam is so good at is what's going to fix this but we have to fix it in some very fundamental way it's called and there's also a mental issue just to follow up on this miriam. a lot of people i think thought that they were voting for change you know donald

what is it about you that made you want to give voice to these people, these flyover people, people yourom? i'm just so interesting ordinary people, the most ordinary lives you can find. so as i've written my way through my career, ifind as i've written my way through my career, i find myself as i've written my way through my career, ifind myself drawn more and more to the lives that don't have a voice. these are people who... they arejust voice. these are people who... they are just living their lives and they don't have a voice and i wonder about their internal lives, because all of us have our interior lives and they come up against, you know, the external world and it is always so the external world and it is always so interesting to me how we walk around with all of our different multitude of thoughts and feelings and that interact with the world. so these people who have just the most ordinary lives, i'm just so curious, what is it they're feeling or thinking? and living through. so when lucy barton comes back and goes back home after 17 years, she's doing much more. what is she d

people. they're all good americans. i just don't like them that much. the bottom line is the rest of us -- whatever -- the rest of us, 46 of us, we get 60% to divide up among ourselves. how can that be? senator cassidy explained that the current system is weighted to the benefit of four people, four states at the expense of the rest of us. now, i'd like to fix that. if you don't live in one of these states, you ought to fix it, too. what i want to do is take the money that we're spending under obamacare and block grant it back to the states so that we can level out the disparity and fund -- in funding but even go further and allow people in each state to develop health care systems that meet the needs of that state. now, if you're for a single-payer health care, you'll hate this idea because that will be the end of single-payer health care because the money and power will leave washington. it will go back to people where they live. it will be health care closest to the patient. so if you beli

the same as healthy people. c.b.o. says that rates go up immediately by 20%, then 20% a of that then 20% after that. and so all of a sudden you can't have the individual mandate because nobody can afford to buy the product. there's a lot of freedom in this bill. it's just not the kind of freedom that we all thought was at the heart of this reform measure. and this is real life. it is not a game. i know lots of members on the republican side are voting for this because they've got some promise that even though this bill is terrible and everybody admits it doesn't solve any problems, it'll get to a form in which the -- to a forum in which the problems can be truly solved. that's gamesmanship. that's not senatorial. that's not what this place was supposed to be. this was supposed to be the great deliberative body where we solved big problems, and this bill surrenders to the house of representatives. and let's just be honest about what's going to happen when this bill gets to the house. maybe there will be a confere

people die.resident of the united states to simply say, this is a political argument for me, i do not like obamacare partly because i don't like obama is what he's saying. a lot of people who voted for him and who don't. and i will allow this thing to collapse and allow it to take down the lives of the people who are depending on it to death. >> let me ask you a question. protesters that showed up in march and april in congressional offices, those people think obamacare is great. how is it collapsing? democrat after democrat supported obamacare. they voted to repeal it. democrats voted to keep it. >> most democrats will say things need to be corrected. >> let's see them come to the white house and say let's sit down -- >> they haven't been invited. >> look, democrats, democrats do have a lot of tension from the bernie sanders wing about now moving to single payer. there are things that need to be fixed, charles, to your point. if we're talking about people, let's talk about how obamacare is being

people stayed. they didn't feel like they have any other place to go. there were all kinds of responses and it did take a bath of organizing by the societies who came down initially to establish schools and educate people for the vote to be part of the electorate and to prepare black men to become ministers to christianize those that had been slaves. it took a great effort of kind of organizing these people that have been oppressed intellectually, socially, culturally to be prepared to become citizens of the united states. >> you write 20 to 30 million people are still enslaved. who are they and where are they? >> they are everywhere. they are mostly children and women and one of the greatest truths is most of the people have been children and women and those we consider the most vulnerable in our society's. that is one of the differences during this era that we were talking about. you have equal numbers of men and women. most of them are very young of course throughout and across time it's mostly b

and this will hurt people. it will hurt people in nursing homes. it will hurt people with drug addiction. medicaid is a program that works for tens of millions of americans and it will be slashed massively. and we don't know whether they're going to get rid of the capital gains tax or just other revenue, but we know that they are going to reduce many of the taxes in the original affordable care act, and they're going to pay for it by cutting medicaid. so under the guise of fixing the a.c.a., they are actually doing nothing about a.c.a. what they're doing is cutting taxes and cutting medicaid. we don't know exactly what's in the bill, but we do know that. people are going to be hurt. people with preexisting conditions, families with loved ones struggling with opioid abuse, people in nursing homes, people who rely on planned parenthood. the tens of millions of people who will lose their insurance almost instantly. and that's why every group from the american medical association to the nurses to the american cancer society to the march of dimes to the

people.sually i respond, how did you get a tweet so long and why is your voice so low? today i'm responding, oh, yeah, i'm going to appalachia. is it appalachia? maybe we should start right there. what do i call this area of the country? >> appalachia. >> appalachia? >> we say appalachia, are we wrong? >> you say tomato i say tomato. >> if i say appalachia, i'll look like i'm from here? do i really look like i'm from here? for those like me who got a strong d-plus in american geography, it belongs to a 13-state region along the appalachia mountain range. it includes tennessee, and where i am now, the eastern part of kentucky. th is coal country. coal is one of the tee things most people think about when they think of appalachia. along with abject poverty and the movie "deliverance." the movie i was tricked into seeing once in high school. thanks a lot, rob. tell me what stereotypes people have about this area of the country? >> oh, my god. >> that we're not educated. we don't have teeth. we h

it's about people. big sandy is not unique.hat every rural town in the state of montana that have a hospital is in that position.. it's the same thing in wyoming. same thing in north and south dakota. it's probably the same thing in more urban states that havef rural areas where the small hospitals will be put at risk of closure. it's just not right. i'm going to take that if we follow the process that should be followed in this great body, we would take this health care bill and put it back in committee, have a debate, listen to ideas from everybody, rural and urban ally, farmers and ranchers, businesspeople, health care professionals, families, cc doctors, nurses. and we could come up with a bill that could work for thishe country. but that is simply not the case here tonight. and we should not be proud of this at all. our forefathers set up a great system that can work in the majority has chosen to ignore the suspect it's a disgrace to the senator i yield the floor. >> who yields time? the senator fr

even people who care about this stuff don't learn about some of these people. who are some of your favorite people if you talk about which you want people to know? >> guest: i really love the story of luther martin. so did the original anti-federalist. most people don't know much about him. he was an interesting guy. he was drunk almost all the time. he was a successful lawyer. started out in virginia, went to maryland and ended up becoming maryland's longest serving attorney general, was also a delegate in the constitution. he was so notorious for hisdr drinking that one of his clients upon retaining him demanded that as a condition of the agreement between the client and theuther lawyer that luther martin refrain from drinking throughout the representation. luther martin got around this by soaking it in brandy and eating a piece of the bread whenever he felt he needed a drink. and then more men who doesn't drink. i find this one quite serious. loser martin foresaw the fact that the constitution mind up producing a system that would bu a dominant federal gover

people lived there. it was a monumental spectacle and a fascinating one. it was produced to an end by a particular group of people. the people who produced the counterculture, the council of the summer of love, are more the kind of people i think we should be interested in as scholars. what i want to talk about here is not so much the counterculture aspect kl, not the counterculture as a series of iconic events or six or eight celebrity figures but as a project, as a way in which a group of people tried to do something in real-time. the period from 1965 to 1968, the kind of glory years of the counterculture in journalistic terms, is probably a misleading way to think about the project of the counterculture as it was crafted by people invested in doing something. so i'm much more interest, and i hope all of you are, in thinking about the counterculture as exponential series of productions, not as a spectacle, as a sociological phenomenon stuck in time, that had no diatromic development, but it was an hist

you and they came because they asked people to come. asked people to join them. that was part of their political strategy. the media then followed. why is nobody following the story. other indians and certainly other nonindians begin to show up when they began to get media attention. and at least into the inauguration of our new president. and the problematic element and not part of the situation in 2017 as far as i can tell. they were not going to be indian. they were just going to help them and they have living example of the culture that i track in my book. >>> i wrote a book called american hippy and all four panel lists and their work at their publications. >> i think that every time i approach the topic of the counter culture and i would work over on the other side i would find something else popping up on the other side and it runs in so many different directions. and i think that sherry smith in her comments used the phrase secrets and i think that is the one thing that one could say one seekers i would say. some people were out to have a good time and so

north, of people in the movies where black people are struggling to get representation, young peopleee to see -- the spike movie where they complain there are no black people on the walls, all i could think my whole life, all i ever saw on the walls black people. it was the administrators of that original college. they taught latin. and, growing up in that, you don't -- you emerge without the social racial scars. . just never had that baggage i never had a sense that i could not be the smartest person in ie room, because every room went into, a black person was the smartest person in that room. the idea that it could not be me never occurred to me. toni morrison said, i always thought -- i always believed i had the moral high ground. anybody who would even deign to us soon -- to assume they could be racist to me, and i was lesser than them, was so outrageous to me. and in the moment that it happens, i immediately assume that you are more probably -- morally compromised. william: this is an unusual experience. charles: it is the only experience i have. i do -- william: you are an educ

people need to pay attention to. those institutions, organizations that are providing the area of health care and education in matters like the context. my guess is the community is more determined to seek change then it was at the time of the election. as jennifer indicated at the very beginning, this is at any time in life. therefore constantly growing community and critical unconsciousness in agenda with the policymakers said they pay attention they want. thank you.
