the deal thoreau made with his publisher was that if it did not sell, thoreau would pay for the publication, so he ended up being responsible for the publication. but walden sold better than that. it only went through one edition during his lifetime, but did better than a week. one of the things to point out in the text of walden, he does not mean for anybody to imitate his experiment, and he talked about it as an experiment. rather, i think he wanted his readers to first have the sort of awed response to the remarkable fact that man and nature, that is the way thoreau put it. if readers take that away, it was good enough for him. if they thought about the relationship between what they do to get a living and what their life consists of, then i think he would've counted that as a success. announcer: the 1976 novel, roots, the saga of an american family, brings the author alex haley not only a pulitzer prize, but unprecedented fame and recognition, with the popularity of the book and the equally successful television series. transforming his life, we take you to the 150 seven-acre farm he pu

emerson, thoreau and beecher. did this impact henry? seemings like it washed off of him. >> there were different kind bostonons or greater boston. you mentioned emerson or henry david thorough who came to the antislavery pam cane a little battle but all because the women around him, spouses, sisters, et cetera, drew them in. and emerson's case, and then in thoreau's case, definitely his sisters, and henry is not of that ilk. henry thought the transsend denial -- transcendentalists were abstract idea about not realistic to boston there's the conscious whigs, more antislavery, and then there's the coton wigs, had ties to the planter south, keep the cot ton -- cotton coming, henry adams was slow to come to the antislavery crusade. i read from his letteres when the civil war comes he is writing to his brother, obviously slavery has to enbut what is going replace it? and his notion of what would replace it was essentially i think what came to pass, which is to allow the white south to dictate terms to the black south. he henry adams was not

but they are saying, look there are questions of due process here the investigation should be thoreau, wait until we have facts and conclusion echoing things that governor cuomo has said but once again as the allegations accumulate, those positions, some of those positions from lawmakers from political supporters are being -- beginning to slip and i think for governor cuomo that's the worrisome thing >> jessie mckinley, the bureau chief for "the new york times" newspaper up in the state capitol bureau thank you, sir appreciate it. >> a dad says an officer pointed a gun at his 8-year-old son. that's what he says. tonight, cops release bodycam footage that they say shows a completely different story >>> and next cois one step closer to legalizing recreational pot for every adult. that would make it the world's largest market for cannabis. and would put the united states between two pot-selling neighbors. >>> and compassion in crisis many still reeling from their own losses but they're helping the most vulnerable navigate a complex system to get their vaccinations we'll meet the covid an

her friends included ralph waldo emerson, thoreau. this group founded a literary magazine called "the dial," and they made her an editor. i have a hunch they sort of wanted her to do all the work of editor, but she did it, and she was proud of it, and it was a very well received, critically acclaimed magazine. she's in this circle of friends, she is moving and shaking with some of the deepest thinkers of her time. everybody knows she is brilliant, capable, has stuff to say, except no one wanted to marry her because she was not perceived as being ladylike. she was not doing what sarah hale was doing. she was not fulfilling some time -- some kind of traditional image of what it meant to be a lady, and this frustrated her deeply. she wrote a book in 1845 called "woman in the 19th century," a feminist book. she got the attention of horace greeley of "the new york tribune," who was impressed with her and hired her to be a literary critic. she is not in the newsroom. she is a correspondent. but greeley gives her opportunities that have not

they might and we knew from the start any thoreau doj investigation would look into that possibility.ges on the table right now for the rioters could get more serious as the investigation unfolds. they could be charged with sedition. how hard a charge would that be to prove. >> sounds hard. historically it has been hard. though it was done with the blind sheik in the mid-90s. but if you break it down to the elements from the judge, the agreement to by force, easy, impede or hinder, easy, the execution of a law of the united states, here congress's statutory responsibility to certify the election, it fits the elements here inway what we have seen on of ito pretty well. i don't see sherwin saying it unless he had good reason to think it's happening. i'm betting it happens and in pretty short order against a few of the higher ups. >> we'll be watching. harry, great to see you. thank you. >> thank you. >>> next, former president trump is trying to get revenge on georgia's secretary of state who refused to help him overturn the election results in that state. trump is now endorsing brad r
