i'll see how to at the, on, in washington dc earlier how route over in europe. i did mention the global political scene and that attitude to the war. there was a noticeable silence or a sort of acceptance of what was going verbal condemnation of what was of the conflict itself, but not much more from the u. s. not much more from the e. u, as if, you know, we need this to play out. and get it over one thing for all because you know, we're not going to get involved in the caucuses. let russia and turkey sorted out. it's not the sort of general impression you got. well, we have to bear in mind that the war was happening under a different administration in washington, the trumpet ministration, which had very different type of relations with turkey and with russia. number number to the overall u. s. foreign policy, whatever it was under the trump administration, i think it was quite an ambiguous one, but was about disengagement from many regions including the middle east and the caucasus and elsewhere saw the silence or whatever. i think among other things definitely

american artifacts visits museums and historic places you're looking at petersen house here in washington dc where president abraham lincoln passed away at 7:22. am on april 15th of 1865. up next a tour of the former boarding house located across the street from ford's theater where abraham lincoln was shot 150 years ago. this is an interesting house that has a great history. even before abraham lincoln was assassinated here. this house was built in the early 1850s by german immigrant to america william peterson, and he used this house as a boarding house up to 10 or 12 people lived here at a time. and so this is really a relic of 19th century civil war boarding house culture once upon a time everybody lived in boarding houses here congressman senators, even vice presidents of the united states lived in group homes. so this house aside from its history of being the place where abraham lincoln died is an important part of antebellum civil and civil war washington dc history aside from this being the lincoln death house. this house is also great museum of immigrant culture in washington and bo

for the northwest washington where white washington lives, but for the majority black city of washington dc along the anacostia river and this vision that she and halperin especially in walter washington have is to desegregate access to nature to address the ravages of urban renewal which have destroyed big parts of southwest washington, dc and to create along the anacostia river a massive community recreation center with swimming pools boating community theaters. the plans are extremely ambitious. the plans never manifest during her time in office, but the the ambition of the environmentalism is something that i think has really not been understood as lady bird's focus. we think of her as highway beautification, which was very important in in ways that i think are ill understood but her focus on on people of color in american cities and bringing access to nature with public funds and desegregating as as at the same time was was really you can see very much part of the civil rights and great society ambition of the johnson presidency. let's go to the next slide. excuse me. i love this slide
