st. augustine. there was never any local resolution to long-held grievances in this city. civil rights act ended segregation in public places of accommodation. the irony is, it didn't bring local closure and in reflecting -- one of the only times he reference to the st. augustine movement, dr. king said some cities had to bear the cross for the rest of america, and st. augustine was one of those cities. i think the fact that st. augustine and what happened here was messing, it was violent -- the fact that st. augustine is a small town, and a lot of people here know each other and remember which side of the proverbial street they were on in 1964 and 1965, has made it really hard to digest come in terms of, what happened here why was it important, and what is the true legacy of the st. augustine movement? i think that does a disservice to the movement. st. augustine represents the movement as a whole, in my opinion. it was not an easy to understand movement, in my opinion. it is a movement that still

st. augustine left, they all moved to cuba. e here they established plantationss bartram came through town and st. john's and he describes many of those plantations, the crops thatd sretat ates176e0awas a bu under the spanish government. trying to set as the city government these are all the ordnance is an organizational materials they required in order to establish that. during the 1870s yen 1880s planes indians and are patchys were brought from leaders of s were brought from leaders ofbrought from leaders of various bands or, quote, troublemakers, the idea was these individuals would be, quote, civilized end when they returned to arizona or the planes they wouldn't cause, quote, trouble. capt. pratt was the individual who was doing this and he eventually went on to found the carlisle indian school in carlisle pa.. the indians, the native americans have a couple options to make some money. they made bows and arrows which they sold to northern forests who came here. there were examples of a couple how walls or buffalo bill wild

st. augustine. in 1763, as part of the treaties that ended the french and indian seven years working the french and indian war in the united states, the british had captured cuba havana and the spaniards in order to retake havana and cuba trade of florida to the british. so we had two primary governors under the british period come in here for 20 years. there was government grant and governor tommy. so we were very lucky and get a volunteer who went through the colonial office papers from the public records office in london. these were on microfilm, who went to those documents and abstracted all of the documents that related to st. augustine. so we have a cubic foot of the transcribe material that talks with his you st. augustine during that period of time. so he we have come in 1767 we talk about orders from his majesty and counsel david 1764. tracts of land blackberry. we have information about the pork being damaged by hurricane to request to have carpenters put the port and state a defense again

st. augustine. so clearly the dream was beginning to grow on flagler, and later on some we asked him that question. did you envision an empire that would expand all the way to miami and key west? and flagler said yes. he was a man who had big dreams. he was a visionary. and the question is what impact and flagler have on florida history and on the future of florida. and would florida have developed the same way they did without flagler? well, we don't know but i suppose you could guess that yes, florida would have developed pretty much the same way but flagler certainly accelerated the process. so much of the east coast of florida was essentially wasteland until he build his railroad. you simply couldn't develop an area like palm beach or miami until you had secure rail transportation to the outside world. so flagler realized that he was pioneering, that he was opening up of these areas to development, and it surprised even him in his old age he said i always believed in the future of florida but i

st. augustine, florida.this was the era of the most elegant winter resort hotel in the country when it opened in the 1880s, and this room was used for receptions on occasions. president grover cleveland had a reception here, admiral dewey had a reception here. president-elect warren g. harding in 1921 had a reception here. so it's a room that is full of history. the hotel ponce de leon was built by henry morrison flagler. now, flagler is a man who is very little known outside the state of florida. but he was one of the wealthiest men in america. he essentially had been a cofounder of standard oil company with john d. rockefeller. and in the early years of standard oil, rockefeller and flagler were best friends. they had homes on euclid avenue in cleveland near each other. when standard move its headquarters to new york city, rockefeller and flagler had homes across the street from each other on fifth avenue. into office back in cleveland they pushed their desks back to back so

st. augustin to samuel johnson jane adam george elliott. >> francis kirkland. >> woodruff: why did thesee make the cut? what was it that sets them apart? >> there were two things they did really well. first they started out as sort of a mess. they were all sort of disorganized. they all had a core sin. for george elliott she was so emotionally needy. for the great civil rights leader, he willed an ego. dwightizeen-hour it was a temper. dorothy day, just fragmentation. and they all overcame it. they identified their core sin, what was weakest in themselves, and they did spiritual exercises and activities that turned their weakness into a strength. and by middle age they had achieved remarkable depth, remarkable goodness and really a tranquility. so i wanted to see people who transformed themselves inside. of course they achieved great things outside but it was more important than what they did, but who they were is so inspiring. it's nice to have that sort of community of friends and inspiration. >> woodruff: if you could boil it down to one thing in a very simplistic way we all need to b

st. augustine all the way up into the 20th 20th century. dewey, cs lewis drought, martin luther king. there's no question you can turn on the switch, lights the fire. but what do we see with the great mass of people? in this age the glamorization of the very thing you and i are such concerned about and i'm glad you said second time around that it's not just money in a way that would be the easiest thing to tackle galaxy stuff. -- tackle. the green stuff. ... get them. the one thing i can guarantee you, the one virtue that you will have is the virtue of courage. a vital virtue that we find missing everywhere. you aren't going to be willing to risk the status come influence, people thinking well of you being important being applauded to take a popular standard that takes courage when you are in love with what is being glamorized you are going to pull back before you risk so that is a challenge that we as teachers and universities like grand valley have and we have to meet the challenge. now i have to think one of the key ingredients to meeting the challenge is the revitalization of the

st. augustin phrase, he talks about how our memories are rosy-colored, it's better to remember than to have gone through it again. try going through it again, it won't be so rosy. people thought of their experience in the '60s and '70s, and they knew lots of people smoked marijuana, maybe they had smoked marijuana no big deal. no harm. it's not the marijuana we have today. third, a very effective campaign in classic terms, medical marijuana, the person who can't get relief anywhere else. so medical marijuana was the wedge. that's what it was in colorado that's what it is in many states saying how can you deny people the chance to feel better if this is the only thing that will make them feel better? this is a very interesting difference between marijuana and cocaine, for example. cocaine, i became drug czar at the time of cocape when it was on -- cocaine, when it was on everybody's mind. lynn bias was a great athlete and he was struck down. a superb physical specimen. people look at struck down by marijuana in the same way. it happens but people calling my show always say or often say you k

st. augustine and other millenia of human history and the teach offerings the children church and -- christian church and scriptures that an unjust law is no law at all and cannot be given respect as a law there are certain small areas of life in which we encounter an uplaw. an unjust law is not law that collides with denominational doctrines or particular whims of society but it's michigan that collides with the natural created order or what we call natural law. and when we find one law like that, it really is no law at all. it is something thatting this collision with the higher law prim. neither the united states supreme court nor any civil government has the right or the authority to change the natural created order. now, as we have seen in our united states supreme court a couple of different principles. number one, the court has candidly stated that the only authority that it has is in the confidence of the people in 1992, justice justice san day day dave wrote in planned parent idaho verse casey decision, as one junks she gave for upholding roe v. wade, and that's this self-preservation

st. augustine 42 years before the settlement of jamestown was founded and 55 years before the pilgrims landed on plymouth rock. >> the hotel ponce de leon was filled by henry morrison flagler. flagler is a man who is very little known outside of the state of florida. but he was one of the wealthiest men in america. he essentially had them a co-founder of standard oil company with john d. rockefeller. he was the man who always wanted to undertake some great enterprise and as it turned out, florida with it. he realized that he needed to on the railroad between jacksonville and saint augustine augustine, to ensure that he could get to his hotel conveniently. so clearly the drain was beginning to grow on flagler. he was a man who had big dreams. he was a visionary. >> the former secretary of homeland security michael chertoff and the chief of border patrol michael fisher spoke earlier this week about measuring the progress of immigration enforcement. this is from the bipartisan policy center and it's about an hour and a half. >> good morning everyone. thank you very much for coming up to the bipa

railroad between jacksonvjacksonv ille and saint augustine to make sure that his death could get through conveniently. he built the first railroad bridge across the st. johns river in jacksonville so that people could make it from new york to saint augustine without changing trains and in buying that railroad, he bought the rights to extend the railroad all the way to daytona beach. and this is even before he had completed his hotel in saint august bean and soap really the dream was beginning and later on someone asked him that question, did you envision an empire that would extend all the way to miami and key west and flagler said yes, he was a man that had big dreams and he was a visionary. so what impact did he have on florida history and on the future of florida two and would florida have developed the same way that it did without flagler. well, we don't know, but i suppose you could guess that yes, florida would have developed pretty much the same way and he certainly accelerated the process. until he built a railroad, you simply couldn't develop a railroad like palm beach or miami until you have secured rail transportation to the outside world

nancy schaefer: saint augustine is in northeast florida about 60 miles south of jacksonville on the intercoastal waterway and the stjohns river. it is the oldest continuously occupied european settlement in north america. 1565 is when pedro menendez de a velas landed here. before that there were indians. we have a broad history and a rich and deep civil rights history. the city was a little-known but important part of the civil rights movement. i remember the photograph on the front of the washington post, it was the picture of the hotel owner of the motor lodge pouring acid into a pool where a black woman and white man were swimming. it was illegal. it was a very difficult time for the city, as it was for many cities. dr. king was here, andrew young was here. there were rabbis who came to support the civil rights movement who were put in jail. there are many people here who remember that time who lived through it. so it was a very as it was everywhere, a difficult time for america. and a difficult time for all of us. >> "washington journal" continues. host: joining us are two reporters from the center for public i

st. augustine's henry flagler legacy is evident each day in the way we move through the street in the buildings that we see. we are standing in the building that is recognized most directly with him. people recognize that saint augustin would not have become economically well-off, would not be physically, aesthetically attractive probably if it were not for henry flagler coming here and having the vision to really be cosmopolitan enough to bring in northern and northeastern interest, and again, invest the amount of money that it took to do a world-class hotel and put saint augustine on the map. this skyline is very much representative of henry flagler 's legacy. >> throughout the weekend, american history tv is featuring
