to open their own investigation into race in philadelphia.as exactly the reason we did the story. i was less excite by the fact that the mayor also asked the human relations commission, a portion of the government, to actually rebuke the magazine for having done this story. i find his logic bizarre. he wants to have a conversation yet he wants to rebuke the folks who actually i want to bring iny syndicated talk show host, michael medved, who is from philadelphia and camille charles. i appreciate you taking the time. camille, the magazine editor, you just heard him, saying don't blame the messenger, we're just trying to have a conversation. do you think the way they conveyed their message, let's talk about race, was racist? >> no. to say let's talk about race is not racist. and you know, we throw the word racist around sometimes far too easily. i think it was insensitive in some ways and it left african-americans in philadelphia feeling left out of that conversation, because african-americans have to think about being black in terms of the way

philadelphia developed technologies to pump water from the river into the city. these technologies established engineering concepts that are still the basis for our water systems today. europeans flocked here. it was a destination point to see the new world technology. when charles dickens visited us in 1840, he was truly blown away by high water pressure on the fourth floor of the hotel he was staying in. nowhere in europe had he experienced that. this technology was doing something to support the life and the growth of the city. philadelphia, throughout the 19th century, was the major industrial city of the united states. all of these industries used water from this system. and it served as a prototype for many american cities, including pittsburgh and new york. man: new york city went to philadelphia and said, "you know, we're thinking of developing a hudson river water supply -- what do you suggest we do?" and they said, "we've had "a lot of problems on the schuylkill. "don't go to the hudson river. go to the upland and work by gravity." and that's what new y

and stupid to say this is being white in philadelphia. of being white in philadelphia. and one of the things that mr. huber does in the article, he starts out talking about people who are from, in one case, in russia. and in the other case, panama, who are not native philadelphians. and it's not just the african americans in the city of philadelphia. what i think is problematic here is the overreaction by the mayor. the fact that he wants -- >> a four-page letter. >> a commission -- yeah, surely, mayor nutter has better things to do right now. philadelphia has bigger problems than a foolish article that was foolishly titled. if they had called the article something about a one-neighborhood problem or some white people have retrograde attitudes, it would have been fine. but being white in philadelphia and they're going to define this based upon the comments of an emigre who says all black people spend their time smoking marijuana and popping out babies? yeah, that's pretty offensive. >> i think we all agree with that. but i think you read

the largest cities in the country -- new york, philadelphia, and boston.hat should we learn about those three large cities? >> two of those 13 states were not yet members of the union. both north carolina and rhode island held back when the rest of the union adopted the constitution. america was overwhelmingly a rural, rustic, agrarian, farm- based society. there were three roads in 1800 that crossed. the united states was a nation in name only. it was 3 state nations. it was new england, the middle states, and the south. each of them had one major city. philadelphia, the largest city in the nation, with all of 40,000 people. one of the things martha washington found not altogether to her liking was the fact she was uprooted from the agricultural, rural life that she knew and had been born into. it is only the latest chapter of her sacrifice which, in its own way, you could argue matches anything her husband sacrificed. >> that is true. she did not want to go to a city. she wanted to be home at mount vernon. but, she had to be there with her husband to do

before he was the mayor of philadelphia, he spent 15 years on the philadelphia city council. mr.l begin with you, johnson. welcome. you want to activate your mic. thank you. >> thanks for inviting me. first i should say, the last two pieces of testimony, when reference to the victims of incidents like this is give them anything they want. i understand that impulse. i guess, what i would say to people who support the bill, which i have critiques here is the mind is a council of despair, unfortunately. my testimony is drawn from analysis of this question that i published in 2009. the classifications established are unsustainable under the lowest level of constitutional review. they fail to meet the rational bay basis requirements -- basis requirements. we must compare that category to the base line of guns which is deemed unacceptable. the characteristics that are defined were all objectively measural. by those objective measures the classification i think is unsuss and theable and i have detailed this in the article that i mentioned. the primary characteristic is multishot cap

it started when philadelphia magazine published a cover story with the title "being white in philly"ks at race relations in the city of brotherly love. and it has instantously sparked an uproar. the city's mayor firing off accusations of stereo typing. ignorant condemnations and so on and now he wants an investigation into the magazine and the writer and believes that even speaking the words in this article may have somehow been unconstitutional. tom mcgracgrath is the editor. and mayor nudder wrote a scathing article that went on to talk about the abject ignorance reflected in the ill-advised un-inspired and thoroughly unimaginative la meant and went on to ask the commission to evaluate whether the speech in this essay is not the reckless equivalent, quoting here, of shouting fire in a crowded theater. your reaction? >> well, i mean, overall i think it's ridiculous. you know, i think, first of all, the mayor mccharacteri mischaracterizes the story. we sent a writer into the white neighborhood that largely borders on a black neighborhood and interviewed them with experiences with rac

and former photographer for the "philadelphia tadaily news."you of taking this step of a photographic archive of shootings? why did you do it? >> you know, since i moved to philadelphia close to 25 years ago, nearly 10,000 people have been shot to death. i got frustrated with the constant, but had the same frustration not knowing what to do that many of us suffer. the catalyst for this project was a workshop led by the center for journalism and trauma where i'm a fellow based in columbia. they held a workshop in philadelphia on best practices on reporting on youth violence. about a year and a half ago. a few months later it developed into this. the only other thing i'd like to add, it's not just me. it's a team of award winning photographers. >> absolutely. i've looked at the pictures, jim. they really are tremendous. now, on average, one person in philadelphia has been killed by a gun every day for the last 25 years. one thing your blog does is show how this violence becomes part of the fabric of daily life for so many children. so i have to a

society -- the mount pelier society and the philadelphia society. even as liberal establishment figures of the day were scoffing at the very idea of an american conservative movement, believers in liberty and capitalism more organizing, reading, and learning, and some of them were beginning to think that just maybe the ideas of those they so admired might be molded into a political movement. within the republican party, a revolt began to smoulder after the 1952 nomination fight that pitted the conservative robert taft of ohio against the man credited with winning the second world war, dwight david eisenhower. eisenhower won that political battle as well, of course, but it energized men and women who would figure in the development of a new political movement, chief among them a housewife from illinois, who is here with us this weekend named phyllis schlafly. in 1960, the young americans for freedom forum at bill buckley's home in connecticut. stan evans, who is with us this weekend and received an award the other evening, and is a former chairman of
