asks tubman if you want to come meet with lincoln and tubman says no, which is a decision. she later regrets. and then sojourner truth ultimately meets lincoln at least once maybe more times. the record is a little unclear. but at least once on october 29th 1864. so this is in the lead up to the presidential election. it's about a week and a half before the election. and truth gets there very early in the morning with another woman named lucy coleman who is a white abolitionist and they wait for a couple of hours until it's their turn. one of the things we have to realize is that people could just line up the president had office hours. i'm sitting in my office at christopher newport university and i have office hours and students can just line up to come talk to me. they usually don't but they can you wish they would yeah i me too. people would line up to meet with lincoln and so truth and coleman are waiting their turn they wait for a couple hours and some two other black women are in the line ahead of them and meet with lincoln and they over here that conversation and th

she meets with harriet tubman during this trip, and asked tubman, if you want to compete with lincoln, tubman says no, which was a decision to later regrets. so truth ultimately meets lincoln at least once, maybe more times, the record is unclear, at least once on october 19th, 1864. this is in the lead up to the presidential election, about a week and a half before the election. truth gets there very early in the morning with another woman, named lucy coleman, a white abolitionist. and they wait for a couple of hours until it is their turn. something we must realize is that people can just line up to the president at office hours. i'm sitting in my office at christopher newport university, i have office hours, students can lineup and come talk to me. usually they don't but they can. i mean, we as well. people would line up to meet with lincoln. so, truth and coleman are awaiting their turn. they wait for a couple of hours and then some two other black women are in line ahead, they meet with lincoln and over here that conversation. and then finally, it is their turn. they go in and th

mister tubman, what do you say it was he was he the soviet jimmy carter at the end of the day? i'm sorry. are you asking me? yes, yes. yes. well, i'm to, i'm rolling that around in my head of the as i said, there was a certain naive tate gorbachev. there was a certain utopianism. but on the other hand, gorbachev was tough and canny. and his ability working within the still confines of the soviet system to get commerce communist hard liners to give up their power until they change their mind and tried to get his a get him to give up is, was really quite extraordinary when you go back to 1985 when he took over and assumed the leadership of a poet bureau that included a of the brush enough cohorts cohorts and lackeys. it's really remarkable what he was able to do. in fact, the irony, i think, is that he proved to be a more successful ruthless manipulator of the old levers of the old soviet system. then a sort of entrepreneur of democracy. it was better at forcing out camico and in the kremlin. then in mobilizing electoral forces to back his policies, once he had opened up the syst

and the underground railroad represented harriet tubman. in harriet tubman was a tremendous -- given tremendous praise for being that pioneer the sickly gave her life to free the slaves. what is also overlooked is that those free houses that those people put up for the slaves to stay at and to hide them and get them up to the north and get them to canada were regular people. regular people. nothing special. but the commonality was that they were good human beings. and when we talked, the three of us, i want to if the sizes, we always talk about the category of good human beings for we talk about white, black, whatever. and that becomes important in being a man. because if i have the charity of muscle or the wisdom to recognize good people, then i'm a man. a man of god. a man of trying to do the right thing. therefore, nothing you can do or say to me will change my attitude. -- about my manhood. and over the years, the biggest problem that i have ever had in this country is whenever you stand up for the right thing, even though it's for the

you are looking at a maquette or model for sars monument to the black abolitionist harriet tubman as you can see tubman appears as the underground railroad she strides forward with the force of a locomotive. she's pulling up roots from the ground behind her in a gesture that seems to refer to her work uprooting the institution of slavery her petticoat forms the front great of the train and on her skirt ride all of those she helped to escape from bondage. full-sized version of the work stands in harlem on west 120 second street, and when it was installed there in 2008 it became the very first public monument to an african-american woman new york city. next to this work stands a maquette for a monument to sojourner truth who was born into slavery here in new york and escaped to freedom in 1826 to become a prominent abolitionist preacher and women's rights activists delivering her famous. ain't i a woman's speech in akron, ohio in 1851 the artist barbara chase rebel depicts truth in an absolutely arresting way. on the one hand you have this emaciated form of a horse which conveys the we

he tried to get more people to go with him, but even hair yet tubman was like, i'm good on that. good luck in heaven. but his example continues to resonate with many white activists today. what member of the club were you? >> 11 or 12. i joined about a year ago. i'm a semiobservant jew, and seeing the violence in charlottesville made me want to do something. >> i need to talk to a regular white guy. >> seattle is really white. it's norway. >> yeah. >> but my neighborhood is like 80% plus people of color, and around the election time, all of a sudden there's like white power slogans at my kids' park, and it's down at the lake where i go hang out with my family, and all this stuff starts swirling. this elderly african american couple, someone painted the n word on their truck, and that's messed up, so i was like, well, time to get off my ass and do something. >> why aren't more white people here? and not here with us right now but here in this frame of mind. >> that's the real question. that's part of what we're doing is can we create a space where we can do community defense where

a green beret turned syracuse inner city school teacher named zac who his hero is harriet tubman.he idea to design an underground railroad that incorporated an open sewage canal in a 4-foot hole in the fence combining cooperation between the 82nd airborne and these shepherds that were working on their cell phones to make this connection. he put all of this together in less than six hours and it was how we moved several hundred people through. he did that without the help of anyone, really from the government other than those young paratroopers on the gate. >> brian: when did you realize you were their only hope you along with other allied veteran groups. >> i think for me it was when my friend nasa sam on the 15th basically said to me sir, everybody is gone. president is gone. the generals are gone. i'm not afraid to die. i just don't want to die alone. for me that young man who i have known since 2010, everything about the war hinged on whether he lived or died. talking to all the veterans i interviewed after this happened, they all said the same thing. it really came down to fri

-- we just heard about a teach who are quit because her colleagues took down pictures of harriet tubman, because it went against what ron desantis is doing in florida. >> wait a minute, ron desantis did not pass a wall saying you have to take down pictures off the wall. >> the message is poison. >> teachers are skiddish. they don't know. one of the complaints about this law -- and i believe the judge has said it. >> that's the fundamental problem. that's the fundamental person. >> you don't know exactly what they're supposed to be teaching or what's illegal now. >> what conservative parents, i think, are worried about is what is the focus of the classroom? what is the focus of our school? are we spending most of the time on reading, writing, arithmetic, and the fundamental building block of education? or are we spending most of our time on cultural, ideological -- whatever, however you want to label it -- >> you have kids in grade school. what's the answer? >> my view is my kids spend most of the time where we live on things i want them to learn. i have two kid who is have some learning

article went out i was doing an interview with a black woman out of harlem right next to the harriet tubman statute because of the article making waves. there was a black man who was driving, pulled off the side of the road, got out of his car and watched us to the interview like this. i did not even know this man. it is things like that were it is like when i was younger i was like i did not know what i said. i did not tell anybody not to see the movie. i looked over at multiple times before we hit send, even after was published, and i was so confounded over what did i do to offend people so much. when you are talking about -- i try my best to be as nuanced as possible to show both sides of the issue without immediately striking down one. even then because it felt like dirty laundry that only should be inside, it took on proportions i was not expecting at all. >> i would say what we have been talking about within our community, because of our history or the women and men and children and elders, this idea free speech and open speech is a complicated issue. that's in haiti, in africa, in th

also with us, senior editor and insider kadia tubman.tara, you and i sat here, we talked about this. i want to get into with the relief of mean. first, i got to get your reaction to the white house calling out republican critics who had ppp loans forgiven. >> it's exactly the right message for the president to send. the debt collective, the group i have been organizing with, have made this 0.4 year, a huge double standard where that relief is a big concern. we built out the big banks in 2008. the government bought a bunch of bad corporate at the beginning of the pandemic and issued ppp loans that overwhelmingly did not go to keep working people employed but actually went to the affluent and rich. we see this in the fact that 13 house republicans received $15 million a ppp loan forgiveness. that really puts 10,000 to $20,000 of debt cancellation in perspective. this is a milestone, this debt relief. we have been fighting for it for years, saying that the president has the power to cancel debt with the flick of a pen. he finally clicked hi

she gathered the women to raise money to name and build -- as you know, the harriet tubman riveter ship. you also know she broke down the barriers in the military. and she was the one who integrated the whac's as we called them. she traveled abroad. she was the 1 -- i think councilman clyburn said it -- she was the one at the table in 1945 in san francisco when the united nations was formed. because she was there, the national council of negro became a nongovernment organization in 1946. and today, almost all of those organizations that belong to the national council of negro women have their days at united nations and ncnw has ongoing staff and relationships at the national council of negro women. she connected with haiti and nigeria and brazil and across the world and taught us to have faith, taught us diplomacy, taught us to believe in oneself. she taught us to never leave anyone behind. and her legacy flourished in the millions and millions of women who carry forth the banner of the national council of negro women. long live the memory of dr. mary mcleod bethune.
