who appears three times in the rotunda. in all cases she placed a cure a clear role, as the antidote to the violent indian. including her own relatives. foremost in the train of the wandering children of the forest. snatched from the thanks of some -- to become lamps. or in the phrases of a modern art historian, pocahontas has turned this into a highly anguish sized mirror maiden, diminish in the painting and in life just as your fellow indians would be soon. among the awkwardly posed relatives of pocahontas, seen to the right, only your sister is caught in the light and properly rendered. yet her highly passive pose on the ground, scandal-y clad almost topless, ties large depictions of indigenous women in the capital. especially in the rotunda. other women are likewise passive, loosely clothes and as so categorized. the columbus area era of people, were not intended as a vision of men and women but it soon became gendered. over the centuries that followed, the process of discovery conquest and colonization, became gendered

good example is the relieves in the rotunda. or they show indigenous men and women welcoming the invaders in ways that openly accept them or passive. it was captured in the 1830s. as well as the impact on visitors. the comment on early indian portraits could apply to the century of representations of all indigenous peoples. they have, quote, but two sorts of expression. the one is that of noble and war-like daring. the other of a gentle and naive simplicity that has no mixture of folly in it but which is inexpressbly engaging and more touching, perhaps. from 1844 to 1958, the same duality was presented to all visitors as they climbed the east front. in the controversial form of discovery on the left, you have seen this before and rescue. racist to 21st century eyes, these denounced from the start. survived everything from indignation by a visiting tribal chief to house resolutions in 1939 and 1941 calling for their removal or destruction. finally going into permanent storage in 1958. this duality, the two ways of presenting indi

he went to the capital went into the rotunda. and passed to you wanted to travel lightly so he passed his pocketbook to somebody in the rotunda and he up the stairs. and between the inside the outside of rotunda to get to the top well ball of the fellows there and pulled a rope out from underneath his jacket. he'd wrap that around his waist slung it around one of the columns. i believe the southernmost column there and managed to shimmy up up onto the column got about halfway up the column. he stopped for a cigarettes break and and then he continued he was up there for a while remarkably long really given everything, but he couldn't make it up onto the the very top up onto this statue itself. unfortunately, as i said, he had told people that he was going to be at the washing monument. and so there's nobody at the capitol to actually take a picture of them. so the only thing we have is this this picture showing up on the top of the capital that's that clearly was not done with the help of any reference materials and also even the

i thought rotunda was spanish for fat lady. according to the new york post, the report claims the structural racism deeply impacts how employees and customers as well as with the historical record. they are finding structural racism in the actual structures. the rotunda lodge wealthy white men -- i wonder how can they say this without knowing which founding father identify as gender non-conforming. these guys were wearing wigs way before rupaul race. how did the white house skate by on this? how long before we change that name? you see, the rotunda holds all the major documents all written by dead white men. all you see is skin color and gender, it will piss you off. that sucks. what do you expect. going to the rotunda and expecting people of color to be credited for bill of rights -- it's like me going to the wnb in search of a wife. [laughter] they are twice my height. it's not going to work out. or it's like you going to cnn looking for an honest journalist. the task force suggest tips, however, to reimagine the rotunda incl

the rotunda houses the declaration of independence, the constitution and the founding fathers.orts from the national archive published in april says "examples of structural racism include but are by no means limited to a rotunda in our system that logs wealthy white men in the founding, while marginalizing black indigenous and other people of color, women and other communities." starting with you, you had a rather good analogy on this topic. >> i was on the oversight committee with the chairman for 2.5 years, it happens to have jurisdiction and a national monument and during that time not a single person, did i ever hear a single complaint about anything regarding our founding documents. what i did hear about from the member of the congressional black caucus is the martin luther king memorial. one of them said to me, if you look at the memorial, how is it that bill clinton and barack obama, how can they depict martin luther king as white? they used white marble to do this. how in the world did that happen? democrats created this. if you have a question and you want to get trigg

the report goes on to say that there are ways to reimagine the rotunda. to forewarn audiences of content that may cause intense physiological and psychological symptoms. >> i just -- that i think a lot of people read that and just say really? you will have a serious trigger effect by looking at the founding fathers? this is an enormous part of our nation's history. of course there is a rich fabric to our history and celebrate it in many, many ways. these individuals that you see up on the screen had a lot to do with the founding of this country and we need to recognize all of it. all of history with its faults and with its honors and assets. one of the things that really struck me this morning when i looked at this story is another story that i read in the "new york post" and a group of black parents are getting together to fight back against the department of education. this is to me an example that could be actual structural racism. you have the schools that are so underserved and yet they spend $28,000 per student, but the fifth graders, only 6% of the
