why did rick white target churches?rs believe white was angry at the first assembly of god church for turning down his membership application, but he couldn't bomb that church, at least not right away. it would have been too obvious. so, he chose the oakwood united methodist church as his first target, possibly because his ex-wife was a member. >> he was experimenting. he was trying to get different things to work, different initiators for the device, different triggering systems. >> the forensic evidence shows that white placed the pipe bomb in a green cooler, not caring who would pick it up. church member brian plawer was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. in the first assembly of god church bombing, white used a stronger bomb, since this was his primary target. he placed the bomb on top of an outdoor air conditioner. this one had a timer designed to explode during the sunday service. 33 people were injured. in october of 1998, a grand jury concluded richard white built both bombs and murdered brian plawer.

she loved the white house. on the other hand, it's interesting, she thought of it also as, and this recurring tension, it's a family home. at the same time it is a public office building. it is a museum. it is a campaign headquarters. it is a war room. it is a museum. it is a theater. it is all of these things, you know, rolled into one. her solution was, she was sick of having the people of washington in her backyard. because in those days the white house gates were wide open. and it was treated as a public park. and she wanted room for her children to play. people forget, u.s. grant was only 46 years old when he became president. and he had young children. as young as say the roosevelt family. and they had no place to play. so she ordered the gates locked, which probably didn't make her popular locally. on the other hand, it's interesting, she also gave orders that any african-american who wanted to come to one of her receptions was to be admitted. ry striking, seemingly small but defining gesture. and grant,

the white house social office the white house social office and secretary as well and the white houselorist and the white house chef, everyone involved in trying to plan a dinner that would be the most american but also respect the culture of the world leader who you are entertaining. it was really fun to work on those and make all of those plans. we always did a tasting of the food that the chef had proposed. many times, we would ask members of congress to come to the tasting and tell them they were guinea pigs for the state dinner they were hosting. of course, they would be very forthright and say, i do not think you should do this. i don't know if this is that tasty. they would be more forthcoming than our friends would be, who would just say, that is great, whatever you've got. that was fun, really. we would spread it out over a number of nights to do tastings and talk about what we would have. of course, we would try to get entertainment that represented the united states in a wonderful way, like the new orleans jazz band that we invited to one of them. that was to show the heads

there was great liberal guilt in white america. remember the civil rights movement since the citizens of 1960 has been a major news story in american life for the past five or six years and to some extent the march continues that liberal trend. by the same token because of this emerging militancy, because of something like the watts riot and the controversy over the moynihan report we are starting to see the language of backlash. the backlash is starting to develop around this time in 1966 but some whites are increasingly alienated. they think blacks are moving too fast and the civil rights movement has achieved what it needed to achieve exactly a the opposite of what blacks have said. there were plenty of white marchers, people of conscience and people affiliated with religious organizations in the catholic church and jewish americans long-time activist. it's their single civil rights experience sometimes. some people interviewed it was there all may may experience this all rights movement and they sometimes spend a couple days on

because there were so many of them in the white house, she was the one who thought that the white house should be expanded an updated because there was not enough room with all the presidential offices having taken over much of the space. she felt very cramped with her large family. they also allowed photographers in. she was also -- they white house family that used photographers. both their son and their daughter and their children and her father with the -- were there. there were wonderful photographs of the little son of the daughter. she was quite a china painter. they had a porcelain bathtub for the child and she painted little flowers on the outside of the bathtub. he was always leaning out to try to smell the flowers. i expect he liked spilling the water all over the floor better. she was media savvy. she brought in this woman photographer to have these pictures taken. >> diane is from colorado. hi. >> as a lover of history, i have been thrilled over the last year to hear how many people have called in asking questions. i think all of you should be very proud of teaching our chi

>> i think the white house makes transitions very well. i think our country is very resilient and we will change. we came close to it, obviously, about six years ago. i think there will be a question as to who manages the social duties, and that's not to be undermined or diminished in any way because it is extremely important. i don't think it is as useful or effective to turn all that over to the state department to do. i think we would have to determine who manages that in the white house. >> we thank our academic advisors to the series for their many contributions. when did it become popular or actually required for first ladies to choose a cause when they were in the role? >> i think that is certainly one of the ways in which mrs. roosevelt transformed the office -- eleanor roosevelt. to be sure, best truman in many ays was a throwback to the pre-roosevelt era, but it's almost impossible in the modern television age, where the residency and presidential families come into our homes with a frequency and ubiquity that they do. can you im

welcome to the white house, everyone. i am honored to introduce this year's nominees for best picture. >> this is my midlife crisis. i could not get a sports car. they would not let me bungee jump. >> you went for the hair.

his father was white. his father was not his master so his father bought him before the war, freed him. so when the war ends, he helps to write the state constitution and south carolina. runs for local office and finally runs the national office and continued after the war begins, he is representing the state of john c. calhoun in the nation's capital. that same year on the first center of color, hiram revels. from mississippi. he was born free. it never been a slave. is born free in a collaborative of the south, gone to college, educate as a minister. he becomes a chaplain during the war. is also a veteran. he takes the seat formerly occupied by the previous vendor from mississippi, jefferson davis. davis had quit his seat in the spring of 61 with south carolina secede. and for 10 years the seat was empty. eichin, this is just astonishing how best -- how fast this happens. when we discuss how revolution is air was we need to also note its impact on the north. black activist understood this was a national

in white solidarity. if it helps them maintain limited access to schools, neighborhood, and employment they have good interest there. but when we look at how "dog whistle politics" plays out, it doesn't track the strongest material interest people. this isn't a phenomena of the white middle class. this is the class that fled to the suburbs and face little threat from the minorities but vote as if there are black, brown and muslims and native americans pounding at their door. there is a sense in which it is almost sort of a culture, politically infused fear that is distant from reality. this is a story where people should act like they are under siege. when they are, but not from minorities. they are understand a government serving the rich with devastati devastating consequences. they have lost jobs, public university being defunded, public school loosing their money. there is a lot to fear now. stead of saying look at the 1% that took 95% growth and leveled equality year. they are saying the united state

he white house social office and secretary as well and the white house florist and the white house cheferyone involved in trying to plan a dinner that would be the most american but respect the culture of the world leader who you are entertaining. it was really fun to work on those and make all of those plans. he always did a tasting of the food that the chef had proposed. we would ask members of congress to come to the tasting and tell them they were guinea pigs for the state dinner they were hosting. of course, they would be very forthright and say, i do not think you should do this. this is not that tasty. they would be more forthcoming than our friends would be, who would just say, that is great, whatever you've got. that was fun, really. we would spread it out over a number of nights to do tastings and talk about what we would have. of course, we would try to get entertainment that represented the united states in a wonderful way, like the new orleans jazz

the original nick fury was white. and the orm blade was white. and not wesley snipes, but what's great about comics, you have a much healthier, robust indy comic scene, and it can be started from the ground up. one of my favorites takes place in a modern native american community. which has a white guy, and it's a window to the world for me. and i don't think that would have been in hollywood because it's what is this going to cost? rob, do minority super heroes need minority talent behind them? not only for super heroes, blue to get it right? >> . >> the institution needs to change for there to be a non-politive represent case. and these characters, for people of color to be part of that conversation, it would allow for the whole idea of hour, and super hero ideas to be explored. so for people of color, maybe this overpowering use of force, to force people to do what you feel is right, maybe that's not part of the experience for people of color. maybe it's a different story. i've always related to spiderman, because he was a dude that i didn't s

and the whites just flee inland.so there's actually giant pockets of the south where there are no whites and, in fact, there's areas when the soldiers arrive, you know, slaves have moved into the plantation big house, they've divided the land up. and a number of generals, people like sherman who are not progressive and they're not enamored of black rights but, of course, they're trying to win a war. the last thing they need is this giant entourage of black rough fee jewishs. so they adopt -- refugees. they want to keep the women, the older people back there on the plantations. so in the spring of '65, congress passes a bill creating the friedman's bureau and actually in the language of the law is if the land is completely abandoned, the blacks can apply, they can work the land for three years, pay represent to the u.s. government, and at the end of three years, they'd have the option of buying that land. and lincoln toward the end of that life uses the term 40 acres and says, well, you know, maybe that's the way to g

black-on-white violence.rainbow nation? are things getting mixed? we like to think we live in a rainbow nation, but in fact, in the states like to a great extent in different neighborhoods. it's only 19 years. in some ways, it looks to me outside looking in, a little more gracefully mixed up than we've managed in the states. >> here you've got black, white, colored, all sorts of people here. also once you have the knowledge that the economic disparities are managing to keep us divided as well. i think what we need to do is unpack what we mean by rainbow. i think the idea of being united and being diverse also means that there'll be moments of discord. >> and you think things will continue to improve? >> yeah. i think we've seen our worst. and that's not to say that we're getting it right all the time. but it's an experiment you need to fine tune as you go along. that's really the south african story. the dream is there. we all agree that the visions are there. but these are not bigger than our hopes. >> what

they have to walk like whites. they have to talk like whites. they have to shake hands like whites. they have to learn the right fork to pick up when they're invited to their boss's house. they have to mimic whites in every way and leave behind african-americans. they're going to be isolated, more and more likely to be the only one who looks like them. so there's this asymmetry. and asian-americans fit sort of halfway in the scheme. there are asian-americans who live in white neighborhoods or go to school at schools that are predominantly white, with a few asian-americans sprinkled in there. so we can say we understand a little bit of what that life is like. we can also say to african-americans, "we understand what it's like to be a person of color, to face bias, to have people judge you when you show up on the basis of nothing other than your physical appearance." so there's this asymmetry. and what i'm always trying to do is put myself in new places to get new experiences. i don't suggest that there's one solution or one answer. but if i had any advice for people, it would be put

did the white house know it was coming? >> reporter: folks in both parties get a head part that the cbo is coming out with reports about the budget situation and the health care law is an important part of that. they sprung in action and conference calls before the white house briefing and jason furman is a top economic adviser. while it is taken out of context they think. they know it is a problem for them. >> we'll so how jay carney explains it, ed. great to see you, heather? >> damaging testimony for the white house. nina easton senior edouter and columnist and a fox news contributor, what is your take on this? you listen to the white house, less jobs is a good thing and it is a choice, republicans say that is what they warned about all along. 2.3 million less full- time jobs in the work force in the next ten years. >> yes, this two and half million jobs they are portraying as voluntary reductions. they haven't studied that the companies will higher fewer workers in order not to insure them in the system. that was not ad

[laughter] >> the famous dinner where george says everybody comes in and makes fun of the president and he came and made fun of himself. he is very funny. he has been very funny at every one of those corresponded dinners. there's the gridiron dinner and alfalfa dinner and lots of dinners for the presidents. he has to have a funny speech and make fun of himself. that year, he said, i cannot come up with another joke. why don't you do

at the white house was getting word to run. people in my office who worked for me were kicking off their high heels and running from the white house. i know they expected to have glamorous, really interesting jobs at the white house. no one ever thought they would have to run from the white house like they did. anyway, the secret service came to get me and senator gregg and senator kennedy walked me out the door and then i drove to where i went with the secret , the building that had been reinforced after the terrorist attacks on our embassies. after the oklahoma city bombing, a lot of the federal buildings had been reinforced and that one had been, so that is where i went and spent the day. >> have you talk to your husband -- had you talked to your husband? remember.t i have the laws to the day to remember, but i did talk to george once i got there and the girls, and of course, my mother was the one i really wanted to call. i wanted my mother to say everything is going to be all right. of course, i called her and said, everyth

supremacy as if the advocates were just like the white segregationist and that equation was based on the idea what was in common was the racist idea that it made a difference not just the arbitrary characteristic of skin color. so with this lends all the rational ways to think become equated so to be nondiscriminatory that serves to equate the situation of women, sexual minorities, in the group is similar with respect they have also been discriminated against. in that vision is the integrationist fission rooted in people's thinking for wrong thing but they make a mistake and prejudging based on skin color that achieves a social for based on the idea is rather than apply equal treatment as employers discriminate and that is institutional with jim crow practices until the 1950's or 60's. but when it is not understood as another form of racism is of those assumptions and the first and most important from my perspective is contesting the idea the neutrality is a real possibility so the very idea of racism is from the black nationalist prospective the consist of the distribution of power

i have a very personal feeling about the white house. c-span: you went to the white house that night with your three kids, your new kids. they went upstairs to the solarium and had pizza. you were downstairs with 60 people having what? >> guest: a wonderful dinner. c-span: who are some of the people you were there with? when was this? >> guest: i think that the only republican there was alan simpson, and he was very humorous about it, pointed it out constantly. i sat at the table with president clinton, and he had helen thomas on his right, a table that was a mix of legislators -- well, congressmen, a number of black congressmen. he had people from arkansas, and i loved it when the strolling strings came in and played "the arkansas traveler." i thought to show that the white house is full of people from all parts of the country and not just one coast or the other was a great tribute. it was very convivial. we were dining in the blue room, and i think the piercing eyes of john tyler were on us, who incidentally -- you know, i collect hist

that was dealing with a white editor. but i felt all the time that things would have been easier, vertigo, which is great, there were two editors at the time. they were making some way in that sector, but, you know, when i would talk to them about issues, i was aware painfully that i was probably the first person of colour. how do you edit a story when you don't have experience with people with colour or have people with colour working at the organization. >> it's a chicken or egg question. do the readers dictate what is popular, or does hollywood take a bold move and people get on board. >> i think sometimes hollywood makes a bold move, like making sam jackson nick fury. the original nick fury was white. same with blade. the original blade was white, not wesley snips, what is great about comics, you have a much healthier robust indy comic scene where you can have any kind of character you want, and it can be started from the ground up. one of my favourites is called super-indian, and that is - takes place in a native ame

the white house said on tuesday. according to a source familiar with this event, the president will appear alongside workers who are paid at or just above the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. the white house said earlier in a statement, quote, that the president is using his executive authority to lead by example and will continue to work with congress to raise the minimum wage for all americans by passing the harkin-miller bill. the bill would raise the federal minimum wage for working americans in stages to $10.10 and index it to inflation thereafter. also raising the minimum wage for tipped workers for the first time in 20 years. this is one of the executive orders, one of the pieces of the president's state of the union from last month. so the president out shortly and expected to be, again, accompanied by a number of workers who will be affected by this executive order. meanwhile, news from new orleans just now from the associated press, and they say that a federal jury in new orleans has convicted former

clarence lusane on the black history of the white house. and former fcc commissioner michael copps on the proposed time warner comcast merger. >> many times over the past year, they approve that. then the competitor comes in and says we have to get bigger. it is day after day while consolidation continues and diversity and competition suffers. up.ll that and more coming welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. jury has convicted michael dunn of three counts of attempted murder for opening fire on a car of unarmed black teenagers over an argument over loud music at a gas station in jacksonville but the jury deadlocked on the count of first-degree murder for the death of jordan davis, calling for the judge to declare a mistrial. mcbathher of davis, lucy , reacted to the verdict. that he will. dunn live the rest of his life with that sense of torment. and i will pray for him and i have asked my family to pray for grateful forre so the charges that have been brought against him. we are so grateful

the white house and its supporters have been poo-pooing.argument that they want to turn to the white house and say you're making that here but you're not making it here. which is it in. >> we know november is a long way off. it's forever in politics, but there continue to be negative reports regarding the health care law, the implementation, how many people are covered, as jim ingle talks about, millions more may lose and get the cancellation notices than already have. there are so many parts of the law to kick in. does the positive ever overcome the negative? democrats say they're going to run on obamacare, and republicans will be running from it by november. >> they largely looked at this as i voted for this, i don't really have a choice. if you talked to them a week ago, they said the website is getting better and the enrollment numbers are getting better. maybe it won't be so terrible for me. what this report does to that argument, i think, it may change it a little bit. you may not see people actively saying obamacare, it's a good thin

a first lady is expected to accurate white house. she is a white house manager.this is the people's house. it is a spectacular museum. rests with the first lady to make sure it stays that way. i do not think the first man would be responsible for that. the first lady is expected to greet heads of state and help the president with that custom. i do think the first gentleman would be expected to do that. we could see him doing that. i do not see bill clinton are doing -- or any first husband serving scones. think because of sexual norms that we would expect him to do that. we have even seen an ivy league educated lawyer, like hillary clinton, or an ivy league educated lawyer like michelle obama serving cookies. first man to a participate in social projects. he would play a role in the easter egg roll. he would probably help welcome guests to the white house. the other thing we can be sure of, if you look around the world, women have served as head of government. we have had governors in this country. the husband has not had to do a lot. we have also allowed the hus

kt macfar land and former deputy secretary in the white house.ome, there is a concern for the people. what would reagan say? >> reagan would not have let it go to this point. he won the cold war and understood that the soviet union needed oil and gas exports to pay the bills. reagan drove the price down and as a result the soviet union was on the knees. vladimar putin saw the reason the soviet union collapsed because of the oil and the economy. and he said the way russia reclaims the empire, we'll sell natural gas to europe and have political control and oil abroad and get hard currency so we are wealthy again. he followed the plan and that is playing out in the ukraine today. ukraine gets all natural gas and energy from russia and russia can turn on and off the switch >> which they have. >> and russia has deep pockets and they can bail ukraine out and they need a bail out now. >> but the president issued a new redline. >> our president. he loves the redlines. it was not red, but he said there will be consequences if they cross the line. no one i

that is still pretty bad at the same time white literacy in the south is only 2%. so in half a century the numbers have just kind of skyrocketed and certainly by 1900 schools become segregated all across the country including in new york schools and black areas that are underfunded. but that is a sort of gift and the power that can't be taken completely away. and again it doesn't end because the policy is a failure to start with it is because it's filled. it ends because it's murdered. and there were a number of big-city race riots when a memphis, one in new orleans and colfax louisiana in 1872 on election day but again, those kind of atrocities getting a lot of attention and appear in the new york papers and washington papers and again, white vigilantes and southern democrats discover it's easier to go after one person, one at a time. you go off to the workers, registrars, bureau teachers and in the 19th century you don't vote with a ballot if you have e a ticket and everybody has a ticket and they hand out tickets that looks like a big bookmark. so they ride up t
