he began activism in virginia. he was a student at virginia union university. through his pastor ship gill filled baptist church and he organized a range of nonviolent protests against segregation. he led marches against segregated swimming pools, he got a demonstration of the public library and other kinds of organizing it to these two protest segregation. regarding his library demonstration, he and other activists went to the whites only section of the public library in 1951. try to check out the biography of a confederate general, robert e lee. shows an amazing amount of --. also for trying to use the whites only section of the library, wyatt walker had the police called and he was arrested. the first of 17 arrests over the course of his career as an activists. that is one of the items we have on view. he became very close friends with dr. martin luther king jr.. they first met at an intra- seminary conference in the early 1950s. walker became king's right-hand man. helped found the southern christian leadership conference. organized many of the nonviolent m

i call it the virginia way. we know in virginia how things should be done and often we do not put them down in writing, myt we as think tivoli=---- dad used to say, it is the virginia way, son. so i got up and there is my mother at 86 years old right there in the front seat in front of me. i said mom, you heard my birth.t talk about his we have great pride in it, our family comes from amherst, virginia. mom got up and said i heard him, too. but i want him to know that if i and dr. john -- my father is an andtime surgeon -- if i he john ever thought that would be a united states senator , i would've crossed over and had them under the magnolia tree. that broke the audience up. headlines,anner mother speaks were assigned. i won the election 48 hours 1% of a vote.of you didn't know that story? larry: no. fmr. sen. warner: it shows you what you aree of doing here today and have done. it has been a common theme throughout today's speeches and yesterday. thet the need to get only best and the brightest to come in to o

as one would hope, in a state that figured so prominently in the civil war, virginia is blessed with a large and deep

near it, to the west, was virginia city. so montana's history is bound up in mining. those miners who jumped across from idaho and earlier, california, in 1850's, jumped across into montana and those miners spread out looking for the gulch is as they called them. so they looked in yellowstone, but they did not really make a gold strike. that was fortunate for yellowstone. it probably saved the national park, the fact that there was not a gold strike. or we would have had a gold strike there instead of a national park. so bozeman pretty early became an outfitting point for yellowstone, as did virginia city. and i think that is the key connection. is that those two towns, as early as 1880, were in a kind of competition. and virginia city quickly lost that battle of being an outfitting point. they were too far away. bozeman, only 75 miles away for the north entrance, one that battle - won that battle. yellowstone was already effectively the first attraction for tourists in the interior of the american west. that is pretty significant. that is a big deal. part of that imp

the other two, one is virginia and one is south carolina. we've already seen the palmetto trees as an example of specifically state pride rather wide once wide o the confederacy came into being. people were shouting very loudly and displaying these things at the same time about us versus them, and our identity versus the other group. but in fact, the south was not unified, even at the moment the confederacy was created. that is something that these -- again, with a bit of interpretation -- can tell us quite clearly. the third and final artifact i want to show you is not pretty like some of these badges are, nor is it menacing like the pike. in fact, i think you will all find it pretty mundane. it is a piece of cotton. i feel like i have to say that quickly, given sometimes when people see this image, they think it is a brain. [laughter] john meacham earlier was talking about the battle of the brain versus the guts. i thought that might be on people's minds this afternoon. [laughter] but no, it is a piece of cotton. it was grown by enslaved g

portsmouth, virginia. i think my story is not unique at all. it is a quintessentially american story that defies race, because i have friends who are black, who are white, who are latino who all share the story. this story which i think makes us all love this country so much. coming out of that, what happened? how did you make the journey from that to where we are today? the first of all was a family that pulled together. my mom had six kids. her sisters divided the kids up and helped her. that was the first department of health and human resources. the family. susan: where was your father? mrs. james: largely absent. he suffered the debilitating disease of alcoholism. because of that, he had somebody hopes and dreams that were dashed. i, as an adult, and understand a little better what may have caused him to desert his family the way he did. not to excuse it but to understand it a little better. so, the family pulled together. i went to live with an aunt and uncle who had a very middle-class background. i did not need the united negro fund to

all of this property have been followed by womanhood seen fit to petition the virginia legislature for private pension dreams were because of her sons allegedly collect. i think a better verb that amassed would even help on for dear life. of course the last piece of property that mary ellen and ship out it since she was three years old. she had already given the of the fuse to johnny. there's no evidence that the was ever a petition and there's no evidence she was the petition herself. only that she spoke often about her money worries. mary looked carefully, pinched pennies, worried about, much more as she got older. she never had much of a chance in life to be compliant. circumstances of her life didn't allow for it. her war experience did not soother or maker sweeter, but she wasn't inventing or difficulties. george historians have use their imaginations generously towards him but without exception about it impossible to bring any generosity or real scholarship to imagining his mothers life. what they've done is to repeat stories that were established in the '40s and 50s, particularl

virginia's cayenne, devoted husband and father of 12, 25 grandchildren. barbara, philosopher, botanist, amateur musician, fluent in two languages, architect of the declaration of independence in service component in america of religious liberty in history. when he received little credit little from history. he's looked at as a grumpy old patriot. when he lost his political game in philadelphia. they took hispanic willman home. that's why when he repeated the sign somewhere new. i hope to give the reader a new look at mason's character in his life and accomplishments. mason is shown to be in my book, to be a compassionate, sensitive and well read boy who matured into an accomplished salesman devoted husband and father. jefferson never mayday secret of the fact that when he redo your george mason. when he called him the wisest man of his generation. jefferson same biographer, dumas malone, agreed summarizing mason's contributions to the revolution we need said quote mason jar the rights of human beings much more fully than jefferson did in the immortal but

it all began and norfolk, virginia. we dipped into our video library to find some clips from you in the past. it's 31 years, actually. this one is from 1990. it's when you were serving on a commission on children and families. let's watch. [video clip] mrs. james: i never thought what we were talking about wishing back the neighborhoods and the importance of the way it was. i also felt a profound sense of unease if we talked about that, because lord knows i don't want my neighborhood back. the neighborhood that i came out of was a public housing project from a dysfunctional family. and there is nothing there to be glorified or ro go back to. -- or to go back to. susan: you told that story in a biography called "never forget." the subtitle is the riveting story of one woman's journey from public housing to the corridors of power. youralk often about biology when you are speaking to audiences. tell me a capsule version of what you went through and how it shaped who you are today? mrs. james: welfare mother, alcoholic fath

this may be because of living in virginia. it took virginia longtime to decide to secede. after south carolina and the other deep south states seceded, they hated set -- south carolina, they forced them in a box and left them defenseless. virginia says we are not going to be like south carolina. let them hang around and decide what we do. we are going to send delegates from every county to richmond to debate this. most of the delegates who were sent were sent there to save the united states. they voted over and over again not to leave the united states. the guys from augusta county were on the cutting edge of voting to stay in the united states. i do not want to ruin the story for you. they do not. they decided overnight they were loyal confederates. they sacrifice and lead the confederacy all the way through. how do you do that? how do you argue for the union one day and represent the confederate congress the next? that is the sort of thing i think we need to make room in our imagination for rather than rushing a story along. further north, my goal was to give credit to t

virginia roberts is challenging those she accuses to sue. prince andrew continues to carry out royal duties. he has personally denied any wrongdoing, but the pressure on him remains. jonny dymond, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news — still to come: three million said they were interested in attending so why did so few actually make it to area 51? ben johnson, the fastest man on earth is flying home to canada in disgrace. all the athletes should be clean going into the games. i'm just happy that justice is served. it is a simple fact that this morning these people were in their homes. tonight, those homes have been burned down by serbian soldiers and police. all the taliban positions along here have been strengthened, presumably in case the americans invade. it's no use having a secret service which cannot preserve its own secrets against the world and so the british government has no option but to continue this action even after any adverse judgement in australia. concorde have crossed the atlantic faster than any plane ever before, breaki

we saw the beautiful c campus and i thought i might apply to the university of virginia. he was standing very close to me and considerably shorter and jammed his finger into my chest and said you are going to yale and i don't want to hear any more about it. [laughter] he didn't say's it out and let's talk about it or your feelings. [laughter] it was a different approach and never thought about the university of virginia again. [laughter] change one - - teachers change the world. and who they give credit for and one of the most lovely of all to say she and up being a teacher. you are doing what needs to be done. here is to you. >> so you are a person to have ways of communicating that is astonishingly powerful as the narrator and we have heard the voice of the john adams series of ten birds to tell the stories. but tell the story on a page requires a certain mastery language tell us about the approach for language itself. >> i write everything i write many times over. because if somebody reads it back to you or if you read yourself you can hear when you are repeating or th

it was then in virginia. it is today west virginia. in 1859, west virginia did not exist.'s reasons for joining tom brown's army were much more personal. newbie himself was a former slave, although he was free, his wife and children were still in bondage. after several attempts to obtain freedom through trying to raise money to purchase them and negotiate with their master, he was at wits end. he joined john brown's army out of desperation. a last resort to free his family after other avenues had failed. you get a sense of how personal this was through several letters that were found on his person. he was the first man killed at harpers ferry. he died in the first day of fighting. several letters from his wife harriet were found on his person. the letters no longer survive but they were transferred to further the government port. you can get a feeling you read his wife's poignant and powerful and painful letters in which she is telling her husband, the master is struggling economically. he wants to sell me and our children down south soon. i want to be reunited. please come
