when i look at delores hurtaugh who was here from the united farm workers who worked with your fatherraised many of those in the movement and all of us to this point, really, i'm amazed at how far your father had vision and far he could see. and we're dealing with the effects of what was not done after his passing. >> no question. he was talking about in 1968, he was talking about a living wage. we have unfortunately the minimum wage is not where it needs to be in most communities. and he was talking about creating a wage for all people. the other thing he was thinking about was the radical redistribution of wealth. so you have occupy that is talking about the 1% that's controlling more and more. and that has to change, not that people shouldn't be able to make money that they need to make, but the reality is we've got to find a better way to ensure that more people can participate. >> i remember maybe 20, 25 years ago, i came to this church with you for a rally with jose williams. and i was amazed that this small church that shook the world. and we're here trying to continue your fat

we have something here in the united states that will affect us all, the farm bill. >> ultimately you just came out off of eight very good year and as we go into the discussion about trying to cut our spending and balance our budget and solve our debt issues, we are looking for any place but they can find savings. unfortunately because of any good year in 2011, we are prime target. you saw things trying to get slipped into the budget repair bill that the super committee was trying to put together in august of 2011. basically as we go forward, i would suspect there will be a lot of trimming of payments. your voice needs to be heard, you need to be talking to your representatives and bringing them actual material that they can act on and helping them along in this process. because now the target is on them to cut spending and i believe they will be turning the program. >> i pretty much agree with mike's comment, but as you just said there is a lot of cost cutting now especially with the election coming up. election years are easy to trade into and as soon as that election is over, the c

addition, thousands of indian people, whom the united states never threatened with removal lived in the region on small tribal plots, individually owned farms or public lands. as they took up former i saidian land, white southerners stopped thinking very much about the indian people who remained in the region. they kept some indian place names, especially for natural features but also make changes so mountain peaks came to commemorate white men, indian scriptures lakes and waterfalls and settlements with new names rose on the ruins of native towns. newcomers interested in the productivity of the land and in the labor of enslaved african-americans not in the survival of indian people. as a result of indian removal, the nonwhite population of the region became overwhelmingly slaves, a circumstance that relieves southerners of a racial contradiction that a free flourishing indian people had presented. little challenge the convention of anti-bell um white southerners, that be of color, african-american or indian, were inferior and slavery was a blessing. after the civil war they focused on their situation instead of reflecting on indian removal

he well, we are facing a big farm bill fight and there are a variety of issues that are important to us, one is the reform of the food aid system that the unitedong with other country cans around the world. the united states provides 50% of food aid that goes around the world. we do it in an old fashioned way, where we have requirements that all the food that we publish is bought from u.s. farms and shipped on u.s. ships before it's delivered overseas, the last two administrations the bush administration and this one have argued that the system needs to be reformed and we need to be purchasing food locally as a way of getting food there faster. stimulating the local economy and saving lives and saving taxpayer money. what we are doing is not smart from a taxpayer point of view. the taxpayers are losing $.42 on dollars that has been argued by both parties and both administrations, it's overdue and we need to change it. the other thing is we saw it in 2008 that there was a global food price crisis and countries around the world suffered 200% to 300% in increases in food prices, they have not come down yet to 2008 levels, and the president and co

united states, there's a definite spike that takes i ar in the early 1930s, and a lot of social scientistsav to ascribe depressed economic conditions, the fact that you have banking failures, business failures, farm closures, to the point that you could almost blame the great depression for this era of the american gangster, when in fact that's probably the reason that people followed their stories and maybe even associated some nostalgia, perhaps the same way we would the outlaws of the old west, but it really is a very brief period in american history where you see this, the early 1930s. >>> all weekend long, american history tv is in shreveport, louisiana. next, we visit the louisiana state exhibit museum that opened in 1939 and was one of the most expensive construction projects managed by the public works administration during the great depression. the museum currently displays collection of original signed documents from some of america's earliest political figures. >> the state my seem has on loan a collection from mrs. gloria meyer. her husband acquired the collection during his lifetime, and when he passed away, she wanted to be able to share this collection with the public. it is 54 aut

it's the only wind farm in the southeast because the wind doesn't blow very hard in the southeastern united states. you read in the papers about a 29-megawatt wind farm, and you'll think that's pretty good, but that's not its real output. in practice, buffalo mountain only generated electricity 19% of the time since the wind doesn't blow very much down there. this wind farm, sounding like a 29-megawatt power plant, only generates six megawatts. t.v.a. considers buffalo mountain to be a failed experiment. in fact, looking for wind power in the southeast is a little like looking for hydropower in the desert. one problem with this big wind set of subsidies is that it has encouraged developers to build wind projects in places where the wind doesn't blow or the wind doesn't blow very much. finally, there's the question of whether in the name of saving the environment wind turbines are destroying the environment. these are not your grandma's windmills. they are taller than the statue of liberty. their blades are as long as a football field. their blinking lights can be seen for 20 miles. not ever
