activists who rode so middle east joining us from boston tonight thank you. president obama would lead the conversation after yesterday's rather decisive words no we hear you took a softer line is that what you expected. yes i mean earlier on we had heard obama calling for an end to settlement growth and then when he was confronted with netanyahu we can immediately back down so none of us expected him to be the bold president that we need him to be on that issue are you disappointed by that. and. i have been very disappointed because i think that obama knows better but when faced with the huge military industrial security complex between the u.s. and israel and the pressure from apac and the christian zionists that he ultimately doesn't take a particularly bold leadership. in the middle east speech yesterday barack obama said that it was possible to reach a deal that will make israel's security paramount that's one of israel's big problems but the how do the jewish settlements fit into all this something israel regards as integral to its security. well i thin

also with us from boston but having stepped off the plain from dublina daniel to be lynn a writer at emer son college. i want to start by reflecting back that those of you folks endeavored to reveal hidden histories of your family lives. we have spoken in advanced of today's conversation. it's clear to me you pursued the stories of your families histories for decades through genealogical work and writing and reflection. i'm wondering if can describe how you dot work you do and where the seeds of your curiousity, how they were planted and want compelled you to do this work. >> i would say that i was have much inspired since i lived in san francisco, california. we are a country of immigrants. in san francisco in particular, we have so many first generation americans. my husband is just became an american citizen a couple of months ago. i have friendlieds who are first generation from vietnam. palestine, israel. mexico, as i watch them struggling with their cultural identities and trying to maintain the identities and have the respect as the american citizens they are in this country,

a practice where i think police effectively engage in community, barring from the examples of new york, boston and chicago. i used my district as an example to show what community policing would mean, a bit of a lavatory. now i had the greatest drop in violent crimes city wide in my district holding three years. in japan town nearby, their struggles for land use. two-thirds of the commercial property had been purchased by venture capital from los angeles. because of the economic downturn, the certainty of where japan town direction is going is really in doubt. when you have one of only three japan towns in the united states and oldest being in san francisco, city needs to regroup to its commitment in making sure that we preserve the culture identity and the uniqueness of japan town just as we would for chinatown or just as we would for any other part of the culture. the same theory returns back in approach to the african-american community and the fillmore, which was really the epicenter of the black community. sunset dealing with quality of life issues, upper haight, gateway from the west side to the east side o

used to that. i happened to be taught by dominican nuns who were from boston, so i was able to tap into that. but look at how mrs. ken key is dressed. some of you said that some of the previous first ladies to her -- eleanor roosevelt, maybe even mamie eisenhower, bess truman, i would describe them as rather matronly with old-fashioned suits and dresses, old-fashioned hats. look at mrs. kennedy. it was not common for women to wear sleeveless attire. and now we take that for granted and mrs. obama has brought the sleeveless dress back into vogue. also note the color, a very vibrant, bright pink rather than a dark, somber suit or a dark, somber dress and full sleeves or a little dowdy hat. i say she could wear this hat to the kentucky derby and be right in style. this gives her husband another boost of symbolism, of youth and fashion. now, we also know that one of the other elements that she's quite famous for and remembered for is redecorating and restoring the white house. when i was doing my research for this book, i called the curator of the white house. this would have been in the late 199
