so whitman is whitman is a little painful because he it and then he didn't. and why did he hear it in one moment and then slip into not it in another moment? i couldn't say. and i didn't ask about james mccune smith, but i'll answer for him to james mccune smith commented on the case because he was furie was at william at william henry seward. he james mccune smith very clearly recognized the racism in william henry seward's defense of freemen, and he was absolutely furious at him for that part of the excellence of this book, i'll say again, is the way in which you navigate the complicated entanglements of what it is to think about race and racial legacy in american culture. and i said this to you, if one is building a class of trying to study that complexity and if morrison's beloved is in there and baldwin's the fire, next time, all these books that that ask any reader to figure out how do you witness and participate and find your place in the story. i think we could say that your book would be there. so i just want to congratulate you and thank you. thank

his 1842 text was the beloved essay the poet, according to walt whitman's biographer, jerome loving. whitman heard emerson deliver an early version of the poet in the society library in manhattan during the first week of march. here, loving says. here he whitman was first introduced to the transcendentalist idea that the meaner the type by which a spiritual law is expressed, the more pungent it is, and the more lasting in the memories of men. loving theorizes that the first meeting between these two american titans may have taken place at this event in our building. so we're never going to stop bragging about that. just to let you know. to tell us more about emerson tonight, we are glad to have with us james marcus. mr. markus is an editor, translator and critic who has written and lectured widely on emerson. his essays and criticism have appeared in leading publications such as the new yorker, the times, literary supplement and harper's magazine. he is the author of amazonia five years at the epicenter of the dot.com juggernaut. we have copies of glad to the brink of fear for sale t

so, you know, whitman in particular or is hanging out at this place called fast german beer cellar. it's f a f f vafs. so it's just like underground beer. beer hall that like good guys didn't go to. right. so the very fact that whitman and twain and these people are hanging out in a beer cellar, getting drunk and just sort of expanding on ideas, puts in this sort of environment where would see sports. but the bohemians didn't see themselves as sports, right? they're a little more like, well, we're doing this for a purpose. this is we're a little more hi minded sports are just out the live fast and have a good time right these bohemians of the mid 19th century believe that if they live the way they live by rejecting respect culture for a period of time, they're going to be able to like prudes, art. that challenge is what americans think is acceptable and that they're going to make some kind of contribution to life in this way. so if you want to be a good bohemian, to sort of put a little, little period on that, you've got to reject conventional life. you've got to reject the prioriti

we saw that with our own candidate, meg whitman, in california, and al checchi was a democrat who had a similar experience spent lots of their own money and came up short. some people we talked to in town say they won't be greeting this candidate, donald trump. i'm expecting a lot of support in this area, but i think there's equally a lot of people who are pro. harris and so i'm not surprised that he's in this area, but hopeful that we'll continue to raise money for kamala harris's effort. political analyst larry gerston says how the public viewed the debate could be a key to how trump's future fundraising goes, especially as he points out harris seems to be getting a boost from the early polls. does it represent a turning point and thereby make it more difficult for trump to raise funds, or will people that he's going to still consider him in the game? it's really a pivotal moment. we all looked at that debate as potentially pivotal, and judging from the way it went, it looks like it's even more than that. as we watch the polls roll out over the next couple of days. donald trump will
