senator sumner was hurt so badly. that was something serious and terrible enough, even more than, you know, 160 years later that it is nothing to be glib about, nothing to be short about, even to make an otherwise valid point. but today, one of the things that happened at the capitol to commemorate the january 6 attack last year is that the house hosted the librarian of congress you see there on your left, and two very famous historians who you see at the center and right of your screen here, to talk about the history of what happened on january 6th, how to make sure that history gets preserved, how to make sure that attack gets told for the purposes of history, how to make sure it gets told accurately in history, and the historian doris kearns goodwin at that event today brought up the caning of sumner there today and brooks who nearly killed the senator on the floor of the senate and brought it up today in a way that surprised me because of the unique resonance of that violence, that famous act of violence having ha

and senator sumner was injured.he did recover. recovered slowly, served for another 18 years, which leads me to the fact that he proceeded to put forward civil rights legislation in 1875. and in 1875, 150 years ago -- almost 150 years ago, 145 years ago. and so he argued, after the civil war, that our black americans were being discriminated against and it needed to end. that anyone should go into any public accommodation and be treated equally here in the united states of america, a constitution that says all men, and that includes women, are created equally. and so he put forward this bill and it said that every person gets equal access to theaters, to public schools, to churches, to cemeteries, equal opportunity to serve in jury duty, and that any suits brought in this regard would be tried this federal court, not state court so we could enforce a federal standard of nondiscrimination across this land. now, sumner died of a heart attack in 1874. so he had put forward this originally as an amendment -- actually an

now, sumner died of a heart attack in 1874. so, he'd put forth with us originally as an amendment, actually an introduction in 1870. he died before it could be passed. and as he was dying he pleaded to frederick douglass at his bedside you must take care of my civil rights bill. and in the months following his death, the senate did act and supported the bill and it was passed into law in 1875. at that moment it would be hard to envision that after i was born we would still be fighting for equal access to public accommodations. the senate passed that bill and it made it into law in 1875. but the supreme court of the united states struck down the law eight years later. equal access in america supported by the elected representatives of the house and the senate was blown to smithereens by the supreme court of the united states of america. that did set the stage for another civil rights battle, and it was 1890. it was after benjamin harrison's successful presidential campaign which he promised election reform, election integrity be

senator sumner did survive, but barely.took three years before he was able to come back to the united states senate. that was something serious and terrible enough, even more than 160 years later, that it is nothing to be short about. even to make another was valid point. today, one of the things that happened at the capitol, to commemorate the january 6th attack last year, is that the house hosted the library of congress, you see on your left, and two very famous historians. to talk about the history of what happened on january 6th. how to make sure history gets preserved, how to make sure that attack it's told, for the purpose of history. how to make sure gets told accurately, for history. -- she brought up the canning of cane-ing of senator shelley moore, and the man who very nearly killed. and she brought it up in a way that surprised me. she brought it up, because of the unique resonance of that violence, that famous back to violence, having happened inside the capitol. that happened inside congress. the way the violen

sumner died of a heart attack in 1874. he put this forth as an amendment, he died before it could be passed. as he was dying, he pleaded to frederick douglass and others at his bedside, you must take care of my civil rights bill. in the months following his death, the senate did act and they supported the was passed into law in 1875. at that moment, it would be hard to envision that after i was born we would still be fighting accommodations to the senate. the supreme court of the united states struck down that while years later. equal access in america. it was blown to smithereens by the supreme court of the unitedb states of americans. that did set stage for another civil rights battle. ait was 1890. it was after benjamin harris successful presidential campaign because, you see, anyone looking at our republic would know that we are all affected no matter what state we come from by the integrity of the other states. there would have to be integrity of all of them. for that house of representatives down the hall to have int

hope it will be a frederick douglass hopes, it will be charles sumner hopes it will be charles sumner's kind of happy that first bull run was a defeat because it meant the war would last longer. and they believed many abolitionists the longer the war goes on the more likely. did emancipation will come to the fore but if mcclellan had captured richmond will come back to our little friend jorge again here if mcclellan had captured richmond in july of 1862 which any competent commander would have. that would have been the end of the war and it would have been the end of the war. without emancipation because emancipation was not on the table. everybody talks about antietam and emancipation antietam's not the key battle with emancipation the seven days is second confiscation act came a few days after mcclellan's defeat and charles sumner tied it directly to lincoln's to mcclellan's defeat lincoln announced to his cabinet on the 22nd of july 1862 that he was going to issue a proclamation of emancipation. that's the key battle antietam gives the moment when he can do it, but the decision comes

to mark twain in hannibal, and how could we ever forget maxey the goose in smalltown sumner, missouri. [applause] after more than 45 bicentennial stops, the first lady and i count ourselves blessed to have experienced the history, tradition and heart and soul of what makes missouri great. faith, family, neighbors helping neighbors. that's who missourians are. and that's what makes missouri the best state in the united states. [applause] we were also able to host the bicentennial parade and the inaugural ball that was enjoyed and celebrated by missourians from all over the state. our historic parade included over 100 entries and proudly showcased communities all across missouri. including the lincoln university marching musical storm, the budweiser collidesdales, chinese dragon dancers, and the negro league baseball museum. it marked the first time in our state's history that the inaugural ball was held outside and we counted ourselves fortunate to be able to celebrate with thousands of missourians, many of them which had never experienced an inaugural ball. but none of this would have

late in state before world war i unknown, henry clay in 1852, abraham lincoln in 1865, 1868, charles sumner 1874, vice president henry wilson 1875, president james garfield, picture from garfield lincoln state ceremony in 1881. senator john logan 1886, president william mckinley in 1901, peter charles, the design for the city of washington late in state when he was reentered at arlington national cemetery on his way, they paused so he could receive state charters to the capitol building. they felt it was not important as they paid tribute to a figure who had for a brief time, falling into obscurity was in a grave. then relevant to world war i, admiral of the navy george was late in state in 1917 before we get to the world war i unknown 1921. congress played a role in supporting the memory and preservation and tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, last measure of devotion in service of our country, 1862 congress passed the omnivorous act included a provision you can see from the national archives. an image and transcription cap provided the president with the authority to acquire

the law and he knew the constitution about backwards and forward and so he realized what after port sumner happened in that a lot of the country wasn't accepting him as president. he correctly diagnosed union union keep the country together and then the abolition of slavery is the two grand causes of the civil war as for frederick douglass. lincoln's win was all about hope, but when he didn't immediately free the slaves and messaged appeasement in exchange for reunification frederick seed the whole story. is that progress takes patience. douglas should have been rightfully so angry at the lack of progress. pushing lincoln to move as quickly as possible. but at the same time you have to admire respect lincoln's patience the white house. looks a lot like it did back in 1860 when abraham lincoln was president you could line up on that porch and hope the president would see you one-on-one. that's exactly where frederick douglass decided to do. he wouldn't have to wait long lincoln was smitten with douglas. he knew that he was a prophetic figure he knew that he carried some baggage with him pol

after that there were there were avant-garde people who advocated who said that no it like charles sumner who said oh it is a privilege, but they were in the minority overwhelmingly republicans denied that it was a privilege of citizenship, but we insist that as a result of the 15th amendment and the 19th amendment it became a privilege of citizenship afterwards. that's an enumerated addition of rights an unenumerated right which i think also existed at the at that time but is not included in the civil rights act of 1866. no sound included in the first ten amendments that is for example the rite of parents to raise their own children the right of parents to direct the nurturing and the racing of their own children. i can hardly think of a more fundamental, right? that and yet that's not in the constitution anywhere it is a right that the supreme court has recognized to be a fundamental right but it also but it is one that has been enshrined in the positive law of the united states. probably since the beginning i would say for sure since the beginning and therefore is a privilege of citize
