the standard challenges were exacerbated by sierra leone. in fairness, the company extended more rights and powers to the nova scotia and's than any contemporary or european white colony did to its black residents. nova scotia voted, they sat on juries, at a different times they served as the colony sheriff. the most important decisions, especially involving things like district use of land, remained in the hands of the governor appointed by the company and his council of advisors. tensions at and floated until 1800, when a group of settlers rose and rebellion. they soft not to expel the company and its officials, but to draw a firm line, dividing the company as a commercial enterprise from the colony of black settlers. they themselves were divided among non-demand -- non-denominational lines. there you see some of the inter-denominational fights that were brought up in the last panel. and the company also benefited from the unexpected arrival of a ship carrying the battalion of royal marines and several hundred jamaican resettled in sierra

long ago small governmental organizations from jamaica and nigeria come a argentina and bosnia, sierra leone, ukraine and 20 other countries would never have connected to make a difference in their quest for stronger democracy. keep their hopes in mind as you navigate the next few months. they aspire to democracy is open as ours. they aspire to elections that do not get rescheduled at the whim of a candidate or influence by state owned media outlets that tilt the accuracy of information. plus technology makes it easier than it has ever been to know the facts about issues and candidates for every office on the ballot. thinking that you know is not enough. we all have automatic mental filters based on our own experiences that affect how we perceive and analyze information. each of us brings precooked points of view and we each give different weight to different parts of that information. our analyses and arguments are affected by these filters which means we can end up talking past each other. one of my favorite teachers says we first have a duty to understand another person's argument on his

i'm not good at going and getting -- finding the mother of the last great in sierra leone or something like that. i need to spend a long time. we were talking earlier about the war in bosnia. bosnia was the watershed on at the changed reporting in our generation. basically our generation's vietnam. it is a time when a small group of us were very, very committed to effective policy and we thought we were not going to let this genocide happened on our watch and we stuck it out. we lived in sarajevo during the siege that the people. we were sniped, shelled, starved, didn't have food, didn't have water. yet we did something that i'm very proud of and i feel like everyone in that war and that war and covered that war feels that a change their lives forever and their style of reporting. we all felt very committed. that's why you want to drive syria home right now that it's a slow-motion genocide, very similar to sarajevo that we were calling out must be stopped, the world must pay attention to it. now i live in paris and coming to america for the past two weeks on the spoke to her, i'm amaze

deployed over there and that staff is helping to process 10,000 samples per month in liberia, sierra leone and guinea. so it's clear that what's happen, the work that the c.d.c. is doing in west africa was very lpful in the fall of 2014 in stopping the spread of that terrible disease. but it requires vigilance. and the lesson that we should have learned from 2014 is that the united states and the american people benefit from the enhanced capacity of public health officials in other countries. that stopping the spread of a dangerous virus in another country makes the american people safer. and i -- when that was an academic, hypothetical exercise, there was some skepticism that some people expressed about that notion. but there weren't many people expressing skepticism about it in the fall of 2014 when this was concern about the ebola virus appearing in the united states. so it is a bad idea for republicans to move forward with a proposal that would gut our efforts to follow through in the fight against ebola and it's a bad idea for republicans to further delay the eemergency funding that's

we had a pretty good vaccine, and as the cdc and nih, they did it in sierra leone and, as soon as the vaccine got going, the infections disappears. we kind of feel it's a good vaccine, but we haven't -- >> if you look at the yap island outbreak, philippines, and even in cape verde, they believe it's peaked at the moment, it's quite possible we won't have a vaccine until after we've had a peak in the u.s., if history -- is that right? >> be careful when you say peak in the united states, because we don't fully expect -- we're going to be prepared for everything, but we have travel-related cases in the correspondent nenl case, over a 00. 800-plus more in the puerto rico and the territories. we almost certainly are going to be local transmitted. so we need to get ready for what the public and press response to that will be and local transmitted will be where someone never leaves the continental united states and gets infected. we know fairly certain we'll see it. the critical issue is how to prevent that from becoming sustained and disseminated. it can be a real disseminated outbreak, bu

every day, unless you have obsessive subversion to new services like me, we do not have access to sierra leone's president reporting on some of colleaguesrican dimon deals there. we do not receive regular updates into what changes are being made to botswana's interest to public officials, based on reporting that our colleagues did. i find that one of the true benefits of this kind of global collaboration. it is a kind of benefit that i think is often missing. of course, work that requires rather a lot of effort and hard work. it first needs to be confident that who we are working with, especially in parts of the world that have limited press freedoms, have issues regarding internet freedom. i know even have monday and practical issues, such as, you know, regular electricity blackouts in senegal. how do we work with those partners in a way that allows us to control risks, as marina said earlier? that is not something that we do in 24 hours. a lot is based on face-to-face meetings, telephone conversations, skype conversations. it is increasingly easy now theks to recent successes, growing understa

i'm not good at going and finding the mother of the last brit in sierra leone, but i need to spend a long time, and i think that we're talking earlier about the war in bosnia. bosnia ya was the watershed moment that changed reporting in our generation, think. it was basically our generation's vietnam. and it was the time when a small group of us were very, very committed to affecting policy, and we felt that we were not going to let this genocide happen on our watch, and we stuck it out. we lived in sarajevo with the people. we were shelled, starved, we didn't have food or water. but yet we did something that i'm very proud of and i feel like everybody that was in the war and covered the war feels it changed their lives forever and their style of reporting and we all felt very committed. that's why i want to drive syria home right now. it's a slow-motion genocide, similar to sarajevo. now i live in paris and coming to america on this book tour, i'm really amazed how little attention it's getting, that it's -- there are people being slaughtered. in aleppo last week, the hospital where

every day, unless you have obsessive subversion to new services like me, we do not ave access to sierra leone's president reporting on some of the west african colleagues dimon deals there. we do not receive regular updates into what changes are being made to botswana's nterest to public officials, based on reporting that our colleagues did. i find that one of the true benefits of this kind of global collaboration. it is a kind of benefit that i think is often missing. of course, work that requires ather a lot of effort and hard work. and at icij, it first needs to be confident that who we are orking with, especially in parts of the world that have limited press freedoms, have issues regarding internet freedom. i know even have monday and practical issues, such as, you know, regular electricity blackouts in senegal. how do we work with those partners in a way that allows us to control risks, as marina aid earlier? that is not something that we do in 24 hours. a lot is based on face-to-face meetings, telephone conversations, skype conversations. it is increasingly easy now thanks to recent succe

we do not every day unless you wee obsessive subscriptions, do not receive the news that sierra leone's president announced a review of mining contracts based on reporting that some of our west african colleagues didn't to diamond deals. we do not receive regular changes are what being moved to full political interest for political officials based on reports of our colleagues did in botswana. i find the benefit is the kind of benefit that is often unseen. it is work that requires rather a lot of effort and hard work. confidentto first be that who we are working with, especially in a world that might have limited press freedom have issues regarding internet freedom. tacticalave monday issues such as, you know, electricity blackouts in senegal. how do we work with as partners in a way that allows icij to control risks, as marina said earlier. that is not something we do within 24 hours. that is face-to-face meetings. increasingly easy now thanks to icij and other's recent successes, the growing understanding among journalists that yes, they can have a national scoop unto themselves but es

similarly in a few case studies in sierra leone where you had no region female peacekeepers very much involved in the process and brought women in and taught women how to fight physically and secure themselves economically. you did not see a resurgence of extremist violence. so what you have here is a three-pronged phenomenon, one where women are setting the example of being equals with men, when you have western forces are stabilizing forces, even if it is from a neighboring country, you have men and women fighting alongside each other, the precedent in the example set that there are egalitarian expectations, and that tends to bring women and security. what the security or stability means and how we ensure the stability and security will we leave and what this does is it legitimize women as stakeholders in their own security, legitimize woman as stakeholders in their economic and legitimize woman as political stakeholders. that is really number one. the 2nd thing that happens is woman as integrated forces is you end up with violence mitigation. a professor at your university shows th

from nova scotia, they are transported to sierra leone where they try to realize the dream they couldave had they stayed in postcolonial america. i read one of his sentences which i think is so probative of his argument. "the exclusion of their beliefs that a just society should be constituted on the basis of a commitment to social justice and the commitments should receive equal billing and the mental law -- in fundamental law meant the battle to include their descendents in the promise of american citizenship have privileged procedural inclusion over fundamental inclusion." and so, i will try to keep time. we are off and running with carol anderson. thank you. [applause] carol: good morning. first, i would like to thank lonnie and jim for conceiving this incredible conference and giving us a space to really think through what the future of the african-american path looks like. thank you. when the world bank began to contemplate loading millions of dollars to apartheid south africa, the national association for the advancement of colored people work with other organizations, includin

came.were around 2500 who [laughter] from as far away as sierra leone. included were descendents of the enslaved families, descendents of former slaves, and others who wanted to be a part of such a historic event, including alex haley, who came. on that day, one elderly hisleman who wore time on face, walked all through 14 collins family home and stopped only to inspect the impressive craftsmanship. he stood proudly, and announced, when he had finished his "we did write good, good, -- we did right didn't we?" he claimed ownership of the building, claimed history, and fully embraced the history of his ancestors and claimed somerset as his own. the homecoming garnered international front page press . all four of the major television station sent camera crews, and the broad media coverage gave previously ignored visibility to the enslaved men, women, and children who lived, worked, and throughsomerset place, the proud and engaging faces of their progeny. one descendent, clarence w. blunt, majority leader of the maryland state senate, later wrote, "i have al
