he was a fellow at mount vernon. and he is currently doing two things that i am particularly proud of. one is he is teaching a course at american university on white house history. to our knowledge this is the first time this is ever been done anywhere and we hope to broaden that beyond just american universities so that classrooms across the country can join virtually and we can expand that impact. but it's really a cutting edge first mover opportunity for us, we are very proud of. he is also working on his next book which will be published by the white house historical association instead of kansas university press, which published this one. and we are very proud to have the opportunity to publish this next book which is on the renovation of the white house undertaken by president theodore roosevelt in the early 20th century. following his remarks, this podium will be moved away from the stage so everyone over here can have a clear view and he and i will have a conversation, a few probing questions i might have abo

she wanted to be home at mount vernon. but she had to be there with her husband to do what her husband wanted to do. she gave it up. but the thing that made her so very unhappy was to discover once she got there, that washington had consulted with john j and james madison and john adams and they had all decided that presidents could have no personal life. that any entertainment, any going to visit people, any having people in was a public act. so they could not just go hang out with their friends or ask their friends over. that was just for one year. the first year was terrible for her at the same time that it was good for him, because jefferson hadn't come back from paris yet. so that was probably his honeymoon with the presidency. >> let me put a quote in here to get martha's state of mind. this is a quote from her. i never go to the public place. indeed, i think i am more like a state prison or than anything else. there is certain grounds that for me which i'm let's not depart from, and i cannot do as i like, i am obsti

thanks to sarah tracey, we are able to still visit mount vernon today. not only were women and, entrepreneurs, having jobs, selling items but they were also soldiers. they had to do this in a disguise. it was entirely frowned upon for women to join the war as soldiers, so that's why they had to dress up in men's uniforms. women would dress up on either side of the war, both the confederacy and union as soldiers, so that they could fight along their husbands, brothers and families. and fight for the cause of the war. one woman is sara edmund's, she went by frank thomas, she was one of the soldiers who is open about being a woman soldier, especially after the war. she would dress in both traditionally men and women's clothing. we know of about 300 500 women who did serve doing the were. those are the ones that we know about. there is a number that we might never know about who fought during the war. our last stop, is the baptist church, this was established in 1863, this was the first african american church after union occupation in alexandria. in the 18

you don't move to vernon and live in vernon if you're worried about the point both our girls live in town or 6 grandchildren live in town in fact my youngest daughter lives down the road here well as the crow flies it's less than a half mile from the point. where we don't worry about the poor being here. i live 70 miles from the vermont yankee nuclear power plant and what that means in terms of any sort of incident or accident that might happen in that plan is that if it was a serious incident most likely i would no longer be able to live in my home the whole area would be contaminated if you look from fukushima. i would lose my home my community where i've been for the last 30 years of my life and i would have to relocate to some other place it would be a complete disaster. people shouldn't have to live with that sort of risk that's not acceptable. i have a passion for justice. and there's always a lot of our going to be. our area and that's the way i have lived my life i'm frances crowe. and i live in northampton messages says i 93 years out. and i've been involved in trying to say

vernon: there are so many things.i'm surprised there washington post as an headline running wild, minorities women most affected. there are number of polls show the president is in striking range of that 20 percent necessary to win in this swing states. i was a school choice lawyer but i was always questioning whether school choice and educational opportunities whatever translated to support of the polls because essentially republicans work having and spending political capital in the most were democrats and the children etc. i was answered in florida. 18 percent of african-american women, 100,000, three times the margin victory, voted not by race for the black candidate or not my party for the democrat candidate that voted for senates and elected him on school choice issues. so there was a full six weeks ago, and it's in black voters overwhelming support the democrats pretty trump with only 15 percent pretty full 15 percent, you and the entire self. and maybe even virginia. this a question of her. but the number and

vernon here i am in the link. you know at lou you always did share that thing with. the insouciance about your payoff for a joke you were very patient it was a combination of ski nose and jack benny the great old jack benny joke about your money or life one flake but yeah you would always or proud at the end of the joke if you knew it was worthwhile and sort of take that policy like well give me give me my due here before i move on it was it was great to watch great stuff we were fairly as i think it was in. had it been the 9th early ninety's or late eighty's late eighty's early ninety's when i wrote back one of my fondest memories being on the road with the great louie anderson sirius i travel with a lot of guys who we had a nice simpatico thing hello in the interim have done so many things that i remember when i 1st heard about this animated series i thought how so i got to work on the hit it hit a big honkin a home run wife but she settling in you never get that little louis guy would play would play to the peo

his name is vernon kellogg. he was herbert hoover's biology teacher at stanford, and hoover drafted him to become a very important figure relief in belgium. and with the a.r.a. -- a very striking photo otherwise, but i wanted you to see vernon kellogg. so, millions will die. millions were saved. this is one of two official a.r.a. posters that were distributed inside soviet russia during the a.r.a. mission. and it is quite possible that hoover's mission saved the bolshevisk regime from utter collapse. this is a point of speculation. i think it will keep coming back in waves. the first person in print to speculate about this as a historian was george kennan in the 1950's. did hoover let them off the hook? would the bolshevisk regime have fallen if the americans had not come in and saved the day? hoover's conservative critics at home during the mission were after him about this. in part, the congressional appropriations were a little difficult to get through. it is going to happen, but he had to really nudge some p

us on skype from london is cultural historian and campaigner for the windrush generation patrick vernon and doug bando is a senior fellow at the cato institute he joins us from springfield the ginia gentleman let's just come to you 1st patrick byrne and if i may ripping down statues throwing them in rivers or harbors is that ok. so what happened in brussels were interesting because for a number of years camp campaigners. groups have been raising the issue of that statue from the public debates have been online petitions the been the baits in the town hall and basically there's a lot of people frustrated by plans not to to it taken from seriously round listens to concerns around colson and his links to trade and the way he treated a lot of 100 fans of people on the plantations and slave ships so i think this was like the ultimate speech people there were i'm a certain that this been taken a number of years for people to get to reconcile what caused the dead and loss leave the impacts of what happened over the weekend a lot people took into the hands the band the senior fellow at the cato

in 1769 he needed -- this is when he arrives at mount vernon. in the summer of the eight year, carlin charged washington's account for making -- putting pockets into and repairing the suit. possible also for william, because we know washington's household delivery, delivery in the washington household was red and white. any account book we can assume -- william le around at arrived at mount verdant when he was 18 years old. he received -- this is surely not his first shirt of liberty and it would not be his last. william makes another appearance in the accounts. in june of 1771, again carlin washington for making breaches and livery coats. he also made a suit and breaches. who are these people? frank was williams younger brother who also came to the estate and 1768. frank served as a butler and was probably also furnished with washington's signature red and white livery. there is a man by the name of that in mount vernon's slavery data base. he could have been a groom or an artists and on the property. carlin also charge washington for charging

this is right when he arrives t mount vernon. in the summer of that year carlin charged washington's account for making will livery, as well as putting pockets into and repairing the claret suit. possible also for william, because we know that washington's household livery, the livery of the washington household was red and white. so when we see claret in the account book, we can assume that might be for livery. so william lee arrived at mount vernon in 1868 when he was 18 years old. he received livery from carlin the tailor after a year of service at the estate and this was surely not his first suit of livery and it wouldn't be his last. so william makes another appearance in the accounts in june of 1771 and again carlin charges washington for making will livery coat and breeches. this time will was not alone in the account. he also made, quote, frank a suit, and nat a waistcoat and breeches. he was his younger brother who came in 1868. he served as a butler and was althou also funished with the livery. there were also four othe

what is he concerned about at mount vernon. his force labor force. to understand his anxieties and priorities, has to be there the whole time. the materials are. i wanted this motion bunch of micro histories and one biography. it is understanding why he ultimately did the thing that he did. he could have sold his land. we called him them planters. i think that is miss leading. their plantation owners. and forced labor. and they were all cash for. but they had landed. no one had more land than george washington pretty had gain a ton of really pro-choice land during the french and indian war when he fought for the british. it would've happily continued to do. we might be bridges subjects, and they just given him the promotion of the wanted. [laughter]. he was at reluctant rebel. not some idealist. so i think that is important to think about the things that he is saying not quite true. he thing i don't have the money, can't do this, you should or he could have if he really wanted to. he wanted to be the person that others thought he could have. and he h

he was the one who went to mount vernon and convinced washington to come to the convention because he knew that washington's gravitas would be an important part of him being taken seriously. he also gets to philadelphia before anyone else. he waits for his fellow virginians to arrive. he talks to them in the taverns about how he went his plans to be presented. which edmund randolph does eventually, as we know. of course, after that, he is instrumental in working with his first friend and later enemy, alexander hamilton. it is so fascinating how much people know now about hamilton. so we don't have to explain a lot anymore. of course, hamilton writes the most of the federalist essays. madison writes the second. john jay writes a few. as emily said, they are critically important in helping us to understand what the thinking was at the time about various issues that were objectionable to the antifederalists. madison is contributing his brilliance and ability to argue a point, albeit in very flowery language to these debates. so, when the first congress convenes in 1789 in new york city w

there is a high in the eyes of the country but it is amazing example to go to mount vernon or monticellond here grown-up visitors say they are surprised to find neither jefferson nor george washington had indoor coming or electricity. and so when you come into a room like this, people might say what they have two fireplaces. and that would open up the realities of that earlier time. we forget how much more difficult life was then. and how much more inconvenient and comfortable closer to the vagaries and hardships of living in a rough climate such as maine. because where so insulated from the facts of life as they knew them as they were insulated from the cold in the heat where we are protected by wonderful drugs and medicines. we don't have to worry much about epidemic diseases about like the way they did. we don't have to give up a 5:00 o'clock in the morning to start fire to make the breakfast. and we don't have to blot to cure of things. plan have to the premises for the call of nature. where softies compared to the people that time. just to get through the day peacetime. one of the b

vernon was six yea rs old ourselves as british.l very angry, iwant in the system. i am still very angry, i want that to be known. i am enraged. and i'm still enraged. why didn't you ask me that when i was working in health care, cleaning old people and all the rest of it, why didn't you ask me that when i was walking the streets, people were spitting at me, putting a ticket on their cars. that was the time you should have asked me.” their cars. that was the time you should have asked me. i had no idea that someone sat down and planned to get rid of us, get rid of as many people as possible. ijust got caught up in it, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i am caught up in it, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, lam really caught up in it, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i am really sorry. caught up in it, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, lam really sorry. i'd caught up in it, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i am really sorry. i'd love the united kingdom. when it became clear that elderly black british people were being detained and deported the government eventually apologised and introduced
