the only thing that's wrong is the steven spielberg focused his movie on the wrong amendment. the culmination of the civil war was the 13th, 14th, and ultimately the 15th amendment. professor amar: i went to fast. professor plides: the 13th amendment end slavery. the 14th amendment makes clear anyone born in the united states is a citizen of the united states. and of the state in which they reside. professor amar: black people are citizens, dred scott is overruled. professor plides: it establishes no state can deny equal protection of the law to any person. professor amar: racial equality. professor plides: it has an important but not well recognized section two provision, -- professor amar: if you disfranchised folks, you lose state in the house in the electoral college. it wasn't quite fully enforced. you're going to pay a penalty if you start franchising. professor plides: it's fundamentally about ensuring quality -- equality and protecting citizenship. it's not a live 15th amendment that you get to what was the most controversial piece of reconstruction, which is the quest

a movie critic here but i will say that appeared to be the only nod to african-americans in steven spielberg's movie. the efforts of african-americans were second to none. the bravery second to none, but those are the kinds of jobs they were given. it was invaluable. the information they were able to radio back from being at that vantage point very valuable. very, very different. they loaded live ammunition. still, we did not want them in, quote, combat. that started to change, as you can imagine, as the war continued. and we needed more and more men in battle. we started to include african-americans in some of those ba talians. one of the things the army-air force did was recognize we needed more pilots. we needed people to protect fighters. we needed pilots who would fly supply missions. so a group of african-american pilots that became known as the it tuskegee airmen -- how many of you have seen the tuskegee airmen? a couple of really good movies about the tuskegee airmen.

steven spielberg was one of the few who thought it was good and would do very well.a little "star wars" echo chamber from the first few weeks. some political candidates that people get a group of people who are tightly knit who love them and that got louder and louder. and also that first scene where you see the ship and it goes on and on, it's like a big joke. 4-year-olds get it. 40-year-olds get it and 80-year-olds get it. >> so what's the message? what's the serious message from it? >> the most serious message is that wherever you are, whether you are republican or a democrat, whether you are american or russian, whether you are from taiwan or denmark, and i visited those countries to talk about "star wars," you always have it in your individual life freedom. things may be pretty terrible, but you have a choice. you can accompany an older person and maybe save an individual or a galaxy. you can go back and save a buddy who is vulnerable. you can, if you have a little blood on your helmet you can decide i'm not going to be in the first order anymore. and that manag
