papers.e from patton's this is a map for the invasion of sicily. you can see on the bottom right-hand corner that it was a classified document at one time labeled "secret." also at the top has it, which highlights the fact that we have classified documents which have top-secret designations. of course in time these documents become declassified and we stamp it on so we can prove we are not letting things being declassified before their time. having the agencies like all their fingers at us. we have records of nongovernmental organizations, the largest of which is the records of the naacp. there are over 3 million items. this is the largest collection we have. it has over 8600 boxes. it is also the most frequently used collection we have. the division is one of the centers for the studies of civil rights movement in the 20th century. the records of the organization kobach to its founding in 1909. -- go back to its founding in 1909. we have the records of other organizations. the records of the national urban league and national women's party, brothe

we saw him in poland, we saw him in saudi arabia, we saw him in sicily. >> twice. where he's weighed in on policy. and i think he's clearly going to tackle two weighty issues hanging over the national security of the united states. north korea and iran. the problem in all of this is that he's been ill informed in most of his prescriptions. i think on iran, he's accused them of being in violation of the nuclear agreement but he's not clear on specifics around how he thinks they're actually in violation. and with north korea, they've already run the table with military threats against north korea. he hasn't left a lot of diplomatic wiggle room on the table. and i think the speech he gives today is going to go a long way to clarifying where he stands. >> you think he's going to talk about those long gas lines in north korea that don't actually exist? the white house has said this speech, you know, is rooted in sort of the ones he delivered in poland, in saudi arabia. and those speeches were not widely adored. i mean, some liked it and said, you know, they defend weste

i had a friend that did three jumps in sicily and the whole thing. keegan,ed to read john brilliant writer. soldiers have not changed a great deal. one of the most common questions i get is, why do they margin line? -- march in line? you suppress them. and people say it is stupid. but you are not in fog, you are not in smoke. they were not planning on it. they walked into each other. once the shooting starts they do what a lot of soldiers did, if there is cover, they are taking it. they did it at the ridge. and really, we have a hollywood image of how it was done. soldiers have been the same forever. pickett's charge, i can preload prove because i look up every cut of the by name i could document. but for a brigade of 500 men i could not find it. and you start asking questions, why did the line shrink as much as it did? and men looking across thank him and no, i'm not doing this today. and after the book came out i got a letter, i found a letter from north carolina from an artillery captain who said, you exaggerated the casualties, some went 100 yard

my dad was a wire runner on canal.an now -- guadal i had a friend that did three jumps in sicily and the whole thing. and i used to read jack john keegan, brilliant writer. soldiers have not changed a great deal. one of the most common questions i get is, why do they march in line? the same reason you spray and pray on a battlefield. you suppress them. it is stupid. yeah. but you are not in fog, you are not in smoke. when you study battles, the reason you get the stand up fighting is they were not planning on it. they walked into each other. once the shooting starts, they do like what a lot of american soldiers did. if there is cover, they are taking it. they did it out bloody lane. really, we have a hollywood image of how it was conducted. soldiers have been the same forever. where i get in trouble at pickett's charge is i can pretty much proof every casualty i can name by document. but for a brigade of 500 men, i could not find it. and you start asking questions, why did the line shrink as much as it did? sunstroke, heat stroke, and men looking across, veterans, and saying no, i'm

i think back to g-7, g-20, berlin, sicily. remember in berlin, it was scripted. then he went off script and didn't support article v clearly. when you think about what the president has done in the past, he was the one who insisted his daughter, ivanka trump, sit in and take his seat. even there, he gave remarks this morning, which were scripted and safe and strong. the beginning of his remarks, we had trump being trump. he led his statement this morning, pumping his own tires, complimenting himself for his real estate prowess in building a tower not far from the u.n. what trump are we getting this week? >> this morning, after that initial remark, we certain lly t the scripted trump. it was a remarkable scene at this meeting on u.n. reform, where he basically devoted himself to praising the founding values of the united nations charter and all things at the u.n., as long as it -- all it needs to do is perform better. so it is -- you know, that was a much better performance than i think the armageddon that people are used to seeing. the difficulty is, tomorrow, no

there are memorials in italy in sicily, for example, all 24 of the triangle dead from that region have been memorialized with street plaques and other kinds of images. so it is in part a story of migration. it's also a story about new york city. the fashion capital of the world. a destination of immigrants from everywhere. it's a story about washington square, right? which is the meeting place for all kinds of people. and in particular it was in 1911. it's a story about worker struggles for better wages and safer working conditions. and by workers with regard to the story of triangle, i mean here particularly although not exclusively women workers. the term workers tends to be jendergendered when we speak ab. if you ask people to think of a worker particularly in labor studyings, they would imagine a guy. but triangle is about women workers. that's the story we tend to tell in the coalition. we tend to begin the story with a struggle by women workers two years prior to triangle which you may know as the uprising of the 20,000. actually began with a walkout at triangle. it involved most
