some of that is the case in philadelphia. the class determined social relationships more than age. >> last november i spoke to the american revolution roundtable and during the cohen a peep cleared a gentleman asked me if i had ever heard about the incident in charleston where white woman wouldn't dance with the british officers. so they forced the slaves to dance with them. etc. and i'm very politely said i had never heard of that. thinking, i don't know what cracked public how you got that for. but i was amazed to find that there is a factual basis for that story, but it is interesting in whatever retelling this is access to how the whole dynamic is changed. the british are being snubbed in. >> that comes from a letter. he is a patriot. that's very much his interpretation of the event of the charleston ball room. this is the british doing this even the verbs he's doing suggested it's women being acted upon. but i think when you pull back the layers of that and think about what is actually happening in the cities, we will ne

it involves people here in philadelphia. this is a global detective story that has produced our first international loan exhibition. that detective story in my opinion begins in 1957. in 1957, the valley forge historical society, the museum of the american revolution's predecessor organization, acquired these two paintings for its collection. they depict on the left, the battle of paley, and the battle of germantown. these were painted in 1782 by an italian artist working in naples at the time. these came into the collection of the valley forge historical sigh of the historical society from a gift, but we've easily they had been put up for sale in london and came out of a private english collection. that's all they knew about where they came from. in 1957, little else was known about them except that the artists except the artist and what they depicted. you see a rare depiction of the battle from the revolutionary war with intense emotion, the campfires, the soldiers being bayoneted. this took place on the night of september

invasion of pennsylvania and occupation of philadelphia. retreat from philadelphia. delaware. crossing none of that is in his diary. instead he writes about cows. a lot about cows. s.d fence and his work on the school board and family came to visit and better what ck and who came to quaker meeting this eek and did not come to quaker meeting this week. and on, and on. and it is unfair to call that ?oring right if you're trying to understand the life of a quaker farmer this but if you reasure, there looking for an action filled account of the and political ar debates you'll be sorly disappointed. joesly, you can find hints of the war. he wrote bit. if they confiscated his stuff he wrote about it. there is one time he was almost ining the or not jo mill lisha. he wrote about that and wrote about one battle that happened in his parents' front yard. but this is the diary of a man who wasn't interested in the him.lution happening around them and it is up to them to figure out if they're british or militiamen. and you get a sense he doesn't care. o we have a familiar disinterested in

a wonderful addition to civic philadelphia. i have the pleasure this evening of introducing and then a bit later engaging in conversation with our honored speakers for this evening. i'm going to introduce them both to you at the same time. first, we will have a presentation by ambassador daniel mullhall, the ambassador of ireland. he served as the secretariat for the forum of peace and reconciliation at the time of the good friday agreement. he'll be discussing the influence of the american revolution and the irish revolution of 1798 on ireland's path to independence and the relevance of those revolutions today. second, we'll have a presentation by dr. martin manser, a historian and former irish political and diplomatic figure who helped negotiate the good friday agreement. he's the vice chair of the expert advisory group of centenniary commemorations and is a descendant of richard st. george, the subject of the museum's special exhibition, the cost of revolution. so bringing the personal and the scholarly together. so with tha

i mentioned it last evening, in philadelphia at the irish center. i spoke to a crowd of more than 200 people, who turned up just to hear a discussion about brexit and the implications of brexit for ireland. so that for me is the thing i enjoy most of all. you might have ideas of diplomats operating in a very refined, erudite slice of society, and of course we do get to meet senior people, that is true. i get to go to big events that happen. but i do genuinely most enjoy engagement with irish america, which to me is a phenomenon that doesn't exist anywhere else in the world, and gives ireland a presence here we could not possibly hope to have anywhere else in the world, because we don't have a community locally. it's part of the fabric of american society, but also has an affinity and affection for ireland. in philadelphia, there maybe are 10 different irish organizations here, part of the fabric of the city of philadelphia and connected in various ways to ireland, and feel affinity with our country. thank you very much.

within days of reaching philadelphia, within days of carlisle reaching philadelphia and his commissioners, which have been occupied by british troops since its capture in 1777, carlisle and other members of his commission discovered that americans had no interest in terms that had they been offered in 1774 or 1775, quote, would have been received with the highest tokens of gratitude as was written in 1805 history of the american revolution. here we see a famous, famous portrait of warren. warren's discussion of carlisle peace commission goes on at some length. she regards this as hugely important. she probably spends ten pages talking about this. nothing short of recognizing the former colonies as a free and independent states that congress has declared them to be in 1776 would now do. congress, which of course was not in philadelphia, that's under britain's control, they're out in york, pennsylvania, congress drove the point home by refusing to meet until the commissioners recognized american independence and may 5th celebrated the french treaty's ratification by breaking open a case of

i was from philadelphia. he said i don't want to do that.ption,i had a third which is why don't we open stores all over philadelphia? he said i don't want to do that either. i said, dad, why don't you want to do this? he said i am happy the way i am. i have a house, two cars. i have enough money to send you and your brothers to college and that is really all i want. i shook my head and said i don't understand that. i just saw the opportunity to open stores all over the country. he just did not want to do it. what was surprising to me is that he was very intelligent. david: you say in your book that he was far more intelligent than you. that might have been an exaggeration. he was obviously a smart person. steve: that was not an exaggeration. because i would talk to him when i was starting my career on things. no matter what i was working on, he could always find the weakness in the argument or the deal. david: what about your mother? what did she do? steve: she was aggressive. she was a housewife. it was the 1950's and 1960's. i had twin bro

as one of it is one of the great advantages of being in philadelphia, that we can be close neighbors to the professor, whose work on the british army in the american revolution is extensive and nuanced, and is always inspiring of our exhibits and publications, and the development of our core exhibition. professor urwin played a crucial role in the display of the story of enslaved runways, weighing the promise of the phils berg proclamation announced by general clinton in 1779, that offered vaguely protection and perhaps freedom for runaways to make their way to the british lines, through consultation with a number of historians, particularly of african-american history in this period. it became an imperative that we, due to very challenging and often seemingly contradictory things, with our tableau showing enslaved people facing the question of whether to trust the british on this promise. and one was to demonstrate their agency, to capture the sense that they had some impact and some volition, deliberation, choice in what they were doing. and the other was to not shy away from the h

back in 2003, "philadelphia magazine" awarded me with the best in philly crème brûlée.make the best crème brûlée in town. i'm gonna be in philadelphia in a month or two, so i'm gonna wanna have some of your crème brûlée. okay. - definitely. - all righty. kyle jones, we introduced you as a music teacher, but you're much more than that. you're a composer as well. what kind of works are we talking about? probably my biggest composition is a symphony that i wrote that i dedicated to my grandmother, and it's based on her favorite hymn tune. all right, well, good luck in that score. thank you. now we come to lori goodman, our champion. we had a clue a few moments ago about yosemite, and that's one of your favorite places to hike, i understand. it is. i love yosemite. i travel there with my family, who are here today. - all of you as a group? well, when the kids were little, we would force them to hike up to the top of nevada falls, and my younger son, noah, when he was about 5, made it, but he fell and scraped his knee and i told him he was a trouper. but he thought i said he

the most expensive properties in west philadelphia. okay.d talk but that's not what is offered. these programs are about keeping segregation in place. in this case it's about understanding the relationship the way that segregation functions in the real estate market which is how homeownership becomes a completely different venture for black people than it does for white people. in public policies that are promoting ownership of private property is problematic because in reality if our health care was covered, if our college expenses were covered, if we didn't treat old people like garbage and to set them outside when they are no longer financially productive, if we have a society that actually cared about the end of someone's life then you don't need a house. you don't need this private assets if there is a social responsibility to care about people during the meaningful part of their lives. because we don't have that in this country you don't have the right to anything. you don't have the right to live somewhere. you don't have the right to

move back up to the philadelphia suburbs.n critical to the democrats in the 2018 elections, a lot of local races here just outside of philadelphia in bucks county, in chester county, democrats winning races in some cases holding seats they hadn't held since the civil war, a suburban revolt that will carry over into 2020 calculations. >> this isn't about politics anymore. that ended last night. this is about being the best governor that i can be for the people of kentucky. it's about changing the tone we have heard for the last four years. no more us versus them, no more this side or that side. this is about focusing on those core issues. i'm done with running for office. it's now time to govern. >> smart message from the likely winner. we're going to let it play out but it sure looks like he will be the next governor which is embarrassing for the president. he went down there on the eve of the election. matt beven was a controversial, unpopular governor but the president went down thinking he could pull him over the finish li

so philadelphia at this period, think about this, philadelphia was the second largest english-speaking city in the world. after london. second largest english-speaking city in the world. and there is a direct post road to winchester. winchester is coming along. moving into prominence. isn't it? french and indian war. back to the forks of the ohio. the green spot there. the most sought-after piece of real estate in strategic north america at this time. and washington has not solved this problem. he got beat up pretty bad. what the british government decides to do is get serious about it and send a british army to take fort duquesne. once again, we have the forks of the ohio with a fairly substantial french fort located there built in 1754 and 1755. braddock starts out in alexandria. he is about 60 years old. there are no portraits from life. he himself actually came to winchester. most of his army detoured around winchester to the north. in any case, their objective was of course for duquesne. and this time it was not going to be the virginia regiment. it was not going to be a ragtag bu

to will notice the road philadelphia.o here we have what was a very remote place in the shenandoah valley, winchester, and by 1755 you have a direct post road to philadelphia. me occasionally, amazing to in reading the correspondence between winchester and philadelphia, some of it was moving as quickly as five days. that is almost 50 miles a day. they must've had some sort of pony express system. so philadelphia at this periodontist, think about this, philadelphia was the second largest english-speaking city in the world. after london. second largest english-speaking city in the world. under is a direct post road to winchester. winchester is coming along. moving into prominence. it is a net? --isn't it? french and indian war. back to the forks of the ohio. the green spot there. the most sought-after piece of northstate in strategic america at this time. . and washington has not solved this problem. he got beat up pretty bad. what the british government decides to do is get serious about it and send a british army to take

and i can't just some numbers and partially these numbers are the ages of people just in philadelphia just the last couple of weeks. i would only reference an edge of someone who was actually killed. starting in late october a six -year-old, a 17 -year-old, a two -year-old, 19 -year-old, it goes on and on and on. and back in pennsylvania, when i travel across our state, everywhere you go, it will ask us we do going to vote on some or at least one measure one common sense then measure. people ask that all of the state. and i have to keep telling them over and over again, is up to one person and one person can decide and that person is the majority leader. he is chosen not to bring these bills to the floor. i say the american people are losing patience with that. in addition to communities like philadelphia which have seemingly daily or at least weekly instances of violence, with the most recent in santa clarita and california to killed three wanted. a story out of new jersey, pleasantville, a football game a ten -year-old now apparently in a coma from that. we have children who are req
