in february of 1865 house chaplain william channing invited the black preacher henry highland garnett to kmcommemora the house's approval of the 13th amendment banning slavery to deliver a sermon in the house chamber. that was a unique moment in its own right because african-americans had been banned from the house chamber as far as we know going back to the 1820s. but garnett wasn't speaking in the house while it was in legislative session and he certainly wasn't making his case to be seated as a representative. and indeed menard's brief speech, and this is an image made from a matthew brady photograph, this is menard on the floor, his brief 15-minute speech on february 27th, 1869 delivered from a desk on the republican side of the chamber potently symbolized the age. in one stroke it evoked the victory of african-american civil rights and enfranchisement after the civil war while also suggesting some of the continuities which would animate the careers of the 20 black men who would shortly follow him on to the house floor as full fledged representatives between 1870 and 1901. ef vok

they were the early years of the black awareness, robert williams was active in south carolina. there was a period of time when the cot in the back of the store was a drop off for various disassembled armaments. sometimes someone we didn't know would put something under the mattress, making the cot unusable for several days. someone would come by and take the hardware away in a shopping bag and that would be it for a week or so. there was often a black photographer who would come to the shop with an empty shopping bag. when he left, he with leave in a zigzag and eventually get on a bus going south. >> i wanted to read a poem that was sent by the poet that i invited to the recent san francisco international poetry festival from iraq i've been in touch with for more than a year and a half. after the united states would not give him his visa, i asked him -- i told him about mutanabbi street and he wrote a poem and he wrote it in english, though he writes in, of course, in arabic. but this one he wrote in english. so i'll read it. one figure in the poem you should know, humbaba, whi

enter american cities and undergo a process of prola therienization, that's from william monroe trotter's study of black milwaukee in the early 20th century. trotter says this ghetto stuff, right, doesn't explain what's happening to black people. what's happening is they are becoming industrial workers. and he calls it a process of prola therienization. so at the moment when again, tens of thousands of african-americans are beginning the process of turning into an industrial working class is the moment when those jobs are being replaced by machines. and you remember that fantastic line from segrue's article you read where the person says to the union boss, it's going to be really hard to organize all of these machines. it's going to be really hard to create a union with all of these machines that do all of the work. so the ability of capital to move, and the movement ofsuburbe south, automation, segrue also points to the tax policies, the structures of taxation. that draw capital and work out of cities and relocate them elsewhere, primarily in the sun belt. and he points to the politics, the shifting po

but some of roosevelt's appointees, great liberals -- hugo black, william o. douglas, felix frankfurter -- all were in the majority in, basically, sustaining the constitutionality of those presidential or those executive orders. why? because they were patriots, and they thought it was important. if military told them that there was a danger on the west coast for sabotage from japanese-americans, they were inclined to defer to the military on that. terrible decision. the care mat sue was a terrible decision during world war ii. this was after hughes was no longer chief justice. but generally speaking the court tends to downgrade civil rights and liberties in times of war, and certainly that was so during world war ii because the national security becomes the number one issue, i think. yeah. >> [inaudible] was that case ever heard? was there ever a case brought? >> yes, yes. the karamatsu case was heard, and it was decided in 1943. >> italians were also interred. >> yes, but the great challenge and the great displacement were not of italian and german-americans,
