, when you put the quaker face on the u.s. instead of frustrated or angry german americans, this made the cause bigger than just german american groups. they could raise much more money because of that. the quaker's where the face of aid and then they received a lot of food aid from the ar a and other organizations. they were already in germany before hoover asked them to expand in early 19, i should say the fall of 1919. they opened up shop in february 1920. this is a photograph of a warehouse, this is all meant for german children. they learned a lot for what had gone on in belgium, hoover sort of perfected the best way to feed children the in their work in feeding with children in northern france. so what they did was select shield run based on these measurements that their teachers had taken during the war and before the war. the same system. that a triads islam, they used institutions that had already existed well before they came weather than trying to create new ones. children who are found the lightest, the shortest, t

quaker.as a member of the friends church. and then she left it and married james madison. and i've read stories about how her father freed his slaves in testimony to the abolition of slavery. and i was just wondering how did, how do you think her quaker upbringing influenced her as a first lady? susan: ok. briefly please, because we'll spend more time on this later. catherine: yes. well, i'll cut to the sort of the chase because the quaker part's irresistible. we just don't know enough about her childhood. but my sort of theory on this is that one of the central tenets of quakerism is to regard people as inner lights, as god, which is why quakers don't use titles. and dolley goes on to become famous for being incredibly empathic and sympathetic and warm. and people said, "when you talk to her it was like she was, you were the only person in the >> and i think that fact that she was able to take on this role and do so well was because quakers believe men and women were equal. and so, you don't

but what happens is that john payne converts to quakerism which mary coles, her mother, is quaker. and they go off and they live in the frontier which is in north carolina in a quaker community. >> and as far as we know, they were just going to move there. and dolley is born in north carolina. so she is north carolina's only first lady. but what's sad about that is she spends most of her life denying it. something went bad on the north carolina frontier and we think it has to do with her father's rather shady business practices and they moved back to virginia. and so, she sorts of is raised in that sort of loving circle of kith and kin in the gentry world of chattel slave holding. >> well, her father released his slaves as a quaker. and is that the cause of his inability to continue his business? he couldn't make the economics of it work? >> i think he had other problems besides that. he couldn't farm, so they moved to that chilly northern city of philadelphia. >> well if, and edith, i'm not so sure if you know her thoughts about slavery but her life was affected by her father's de

this seems cruel to us but he is ran out of the quaker meeting for being in debt. it seems apparent that men in dolley's family had mental health struggles. his father goes into a deep depression. he basically goes to bed and never gets up. he ends up dying in 1783. sorry, 1793. leaving his wife to do one of the only things a respectable woman can do to make money, which is to turn her home into a boardinghouse. there was a need for boarding houses in philadelphia because of the congress, which just sat for a certain number of months at a time. mary payne opens a boardinghouse in the family's home in philadelphia after the death of her husband. right before her father died, dolley married a young quaker lawyer named john todd. they live in this nice house, it part of the national park services building in philadelphia. you can visit it. it had been furnished as the way it would have looked when john and dolley todd there. this was based on surviving inventory. you probably know there are constantly yellow fever epidemic s in the early u.s. and in the summer of 1793

as i said, he was a member of the society of friends, a quaker, and he had a quaker conscience. and he was bored with just making money. he was a millionaire several times over. and he was not terribly impressed with wealth. >> and so in 1914, at the outbreak of world war i, he was very receptive when he was approached by some fellow engineers. the first crisis of the war was something approaching 120,000 american travelers who were in europe at the time the war broke out, who managed to make their way to london. but then they had to get home. >> and hoover agreed to, in effect, lead this group that put up their own funds at times, that managed to organize transportation to get all of these people out of the war zone, to get them home. >> and the thing to remember about this is, for all the checks he wrote, and he wrote a lot of checks, he said later on, he only - like $500 wasn't repaid, which is a fraction. and it taught him a lesson for better or worse, which is the foundation on which everything that follows rests. he had an unlimited faith in the generosity, the basic goodn

like many quakers, they were passivists. when the war broke out in 1775 they did what they could to avoid being involved in any way and their goal was that whichever side eventually won, they would continue on with their family, their faith and their business intact just as they had before. empire or independence, they hoped it really wouldn't make that big a difference. they're going to find that being uninvolved is more difficult than they thought. on september 2nd, 1777, henry drinker is at work in his front parlor. he's working from home that day because, number one, he's feeling kind of ill. also because his son is his namesake, and it is extremely ill and he's 8 years old and he's sick in a way that involves vomiting and worms and you can say he's deathly ill. so henry is at home on september 2nd when he is arrested as an enemy of the state. three men from the new state government, not to be confused with the colonial government, arrived and arrested henry for, in his words, having evidencing a disposition innick curve

quakers in places like rhode island are some of the earliest antislavery -- but quaker antislavery has much more to do with the internal dynamics of the quaker community. right? the way in which the ability to own and hold other people as property to do with what you want with those people, the way that hurts the godly community. you see a very similar argument coming out of samuel stool, who was a puritan and prominent jurist in massachusetts. he writes a pamphlet in 1700 called "the selling of joseph" which argues against slavery. his concern about slavery is that enslaved people constitute in his words a quote, extra basket of blood. they can never be incorporated into the body politic. they are always foreign, always alien. and that is why we have to get rid of slavery, because it will disrupt the community. so a sort of abolitionism that we recognize as such, perhaps advocating for the end of slavery, perhaps the enfranchisement of people, that is much more connected towards the revolution in the 1760's and 1770's. and one of the things i talk about, the way enslaved people are fr

in a statement to nbc news, quaker oats writing in part, "we recognize aunt jemima's origins are based on a racial stereotype. while work has been done over the years to update the brand in a manner intended to be appropriate and respectful, we realize those changes are not enough." >> trevor: that's right, after 130 yearsing it officially time to pour one out for aunt jemima. don't worry. i put pancakes on the floor. now, if you don't understand the big deal is, aunt jemima, from the beginning, was a classic slave "mammy" stereotype who got her name from an old blackface minstrel character. and although the company has tried to strip away the most racist stuff over the years people still associate aunt jemima with ads like this one from 1945, where aunt jemima is saying "lawsee! folks sho whoops with joy over aunt jemima pancakes." so, yeah, those ads were so racist, trump going to appoint one to attorney general. it's also amazing that the brand knew that aunt jemima was racist, and instead of just changing tthey chose to instead slowly phase out the racism over time. that is so ridi

because the quaker's do not have a preacher and they put men and women together in a circle to talk their religious ideas. so women were allowed to talk in public. because in the 1800s, most women did not talk in public. as a matter of fact, in 1848, when they held the first women's rights convention, several of the women said to their husbands well you have to talk. the women organized this event but they were afraid. and they did not talk until the second day. often in my presentations, i use these six points of view, these threads, as the highlighting features. telling many stories of women in each of these different areas. with my focus today on the west, i'm not going to do that because most of them, as i said, do not have a western women as a focus. but do be aware of the importance of each of these issues. without women taking prominent roles in each of these cultural areas. our united states today would be a very different country. i do want to spend one moment on education because i did not -- i do not think we recognize the importance of women helping women as educators. early i
