he was part of the american 93rd african-american division. they are on the bottom to the right with a french helmet on it. wo badges up, we have the 92nd battalion soldiers along them. >> and then i noticed along here there is, at the very bottom, the 27th division in the middle. the have the star of orion. they were engaged in another direction in the somme area. they were part of an offensive going on at the same time as the muse argonne, attacking the canal. >> yes exactly. , the muse argonne is what we know of the american part of the big offensive. it is from the all the allied troops. this is a key point. for the first time in a war, we have a combined attack of the british, the french, and the americans altogether. muse argonne for most of the americans, but some american divisions were fighting under french or british command and , that was the case for the 27th, for example. and the battle started on the same day almost for everybody. 26 of september for the americans here. september 26 for the french for army and september 27 for ,

americans relationship with native americans. and we do this through the prism of the national paradox. hat's very familiar to americans. the paradox is american indians constitute 1% to 2% of the u.s. population, yet everywhere you look you see imagery of american indians. it's also found on state and county seals. it is found in u.s. military insignia. it's found in motel and storefront signage, on architectural elements of buildings and bridges. it's found on people's tattoos. it's everywhere you look in american life. whether someone native american or descends from people who came over on the may flower or indeed a recent immigrant, one recognizes this imagery as part and parcel of american life. we wanted to begin our exhibit by exploring this phenomenon which is at once familiar yet very striking and here's what's key about it. it's a phenomenon that is unique to the united states. there is no other country in the world that is so fixated with one portion of its population that it is constantly creating images of those peo

american soldiers. this culture of reconciliation, whether it is playing out in politics or economics or popular culture helped convince americans on both sides of the mason-dixon line that the horrors of war were behind them. the peoples of reconstruction are behind them. 1890's,e in the 1880's, there is a generational shift going on. veterans are not only aging. the 1890's is the high point of veterans on both sides in the u.s. congress. there is the notion you want to sell things throughout the country. sally pickett is very savvy about this when she writes her account. she wants to sell accounts to northerners and southerners. she paints this reconciliation in picture. the united states is trying to

and by educating americans and europeans alike about the deeds the accomplishments of american armed forces in providing the blessings of freedom to generations yet unborn. during this centennial period, we have reaffirmed our mission -- to honor the 4.7 million americans that served in uniform during the great war. a war that began the alliance with europe that has continued for the past century. as part of our commemoration, today we are gathered here at the american cemetery. this was the first of our overseas american cemeteries. 116,000 americans gave their lives in the great war to make the world safe for democracy. we stand in this cemetery today and honor the memory of 2515 of these men and women who are buried here or listed on the walls as missing. along with 24 unknown american soldiers of world war ii. in france and all along the western front, american troops proved decisive in the allied victory. american soldiers fought side-by-side with their wartime allies, helping to stop the final enemy offensive and turn the tide of battle. and finally, to end the war. it was in t

these are americans who volunteered, wealthy americans. some had their own private airplanes in the go to fight in a squadron dedicated to the french. they are a public relations dream on both sides of the atlantic ocean. the french love them and the americans love them. theodore roosevelt wrote articles about them for collier's magazine. they were given a blank check to live in exotic and rich lifestyle. i have to suspect this is where fighter pilot culture comes from. the americans couldn't discipline them in the french had no incentive to do so. as long as they were flying well represented this link between the u.s. and france. there are others. the great football player for harwich. there were other americans who served. there was a canadian researcher who estimates 80,000 members of the canadian army in world war i were born in the united states. the easiest way to join the british army was to walk across the border into canada and join. that is an unbelievably high number. researchers have done similars studies. these are not foreign

steve: do we educate americans enough on the role of native americans? their influence and impact on our history? donald: i think we need to educate our public and everyone more about american indians because people get so busy in their lives that they really -- they don't see american indians at all. they see in a very narrow way. american indians are there and we have always been here. is there organizations and conferences like this one that we see that presence. this association has more sessions on american indians than other history organizations. steve: do you have any thoughts on how native americans are characterized of the big screen? notably the western movies with john wayne and others. that that damage have americans generally view native americans? donald: indeed. american indians have been portray by hollywood, and it is kind of a stereotyped image of american indians. scholars like myself and people who study american indians for accuracy, we try to correct hat. it is an uphill battle trying to correct those images. i have counted the ste

americans the served in the war. about 4,800,000 americans were in uniform by the end of the war in june 1919. >> to illustrate the variety of insignia worn on the american uniforms has moved over to the 1917 u.s. service codes worn by the majority of the soldiers in the army during the war. one of the insignias that i'm standing by is the standing buffalo. this was very important and this was one by the african- american soldiers of the 92nd division there were two african- american divisions in they were. 92nd and 93rd and both were segregated from the rest of the army. most of the soldiers enlisted, were african-americans and most of the officers were caucasian even though they fought alongside the compatriots in the war and fought along with the french during the war, they were segregated and were not treated very well throughout the course of the war. as we progress through the museum into the rest of the american section, we are going to look at a special exhibition dealing with american women service in the wa

just as powerful, as american guilt, was the idea of american goodness. pride in american compassion, and generosity, spurred americans to take action. the idea that the united states was the benevolent leader of the free world also converged with religious ideas. the idea that the united states needed to be the good samaritan. finally, refugee advocates argued that americans should not admit refugees because americans are good, but because refugees are good for america. one senate resolution from 1975 declared, this period of influx of refugees in exile can serve to keep us humble, save can us from the sin of arrogance, pride, and self righteousness. now, i need to tell you, this support for refugees really was small, compared to the opposition to refugees. despite the lofty ideals and passionate advocacy of refugee supporters and reality, the majority of americans consistently opposed the resettlement of southeast asian refugees. and this by no means was a new development in american culture. public opinion polls indicate that consistently, throughout t

the war radially altered american politics, the american military, the way americans think and talk about war. its cultural political and rhetorical ramifications are enormous. i wonder if we don't focus on these to the detriment to ramifications about the nature of american military power, its limits and how american military power shapes strategic references in the 21st send treat. we have to grapple with these questions. until we do, i think the specter of vietnam, the ghost of vietnam lingers and we will continue to operate in the realm of mythology rather than history. [ applause ] >> well, thank you, panelists, for a very thought provoking panel. we have got some time left for questions. i was going to start out, but jackie posed all the questions i had on my sheet here. so what we would like to do, ladies and gentlemen, again, please, if you have a question, wait for the microphone. hold the microphone close enough so you can be heard. i will try to recognize you so i can send it to the appropriate panel member. first question. sir? >> i have got a comment. i was assigned to mackvy

i do not like to see americans suffer. i do not like to see americans fail. i don't like to see america fail. i don't like it when i go places and i realize we are not the leaders of the free world. that makes me crazy. i do not like it when i realize that americans don't have the opportunities to succeed the way they should and we aren't gonna succeed as a country the way we should. >> sounds to me like you're running. >> it may sound like that to you, but you want to know something? that's how i feel. that's not me running. that is what -- i went around this country and thought, "this is so wrong. we're on the wrong path. we're so much better than this." >> will you announce that you're running for president? >> if i figure it out, i certainly will. >> why don't you do it right now? >> [ laughs ] i'm worried it would help your ratings too much. >> this is public television. don't you want to help the country? >> [ laughs ] but i'm telling you -- i look around and i say, we have every advantage and every capability to make the 21st century another american c

and by educating americans and europeans alike about the deeds the accomplishments of american armed forces in providing the blessings of freedom to generations yet unborn. during this centennial period, we have reaffirmed our mission -- to honor the 4.7 million americans that served in europe -- in uniform during the great war. a war that began the alliance with europe that has continued for the past century. as part of our commemoration, today we are gathered here at the american cemetery. this was the first of our overseas american cemeteries. 116,000 americans gave their lives in the great war to make the world safe for democracy. we stand in this cemetery today and honor the memory of 2515 of these men and women who are buried here or listed on the walls as missing. along with 24 unknown american soldiers of world war ii. in france and all along the western front, american troops proved decisive in the allied victory. american soldiers fought side-by-side with their wartime allies, helping to stop the final enemy offensive and turn the tide of battle. and finally, to end the war

fromare more at risk americans living around them than americans are from them. in case of conflict what you should do is protect the japanese. of course roosevelt and take action to that intelligence. once the war started, there were hundreds of different things carter himself did. the most spectacular one was he nazi, who is in an internment camp, set him up in a decrepit mansion with an alcoholic cook and a servant and a guard. and have him work on counterintelligence activities. the one roosevelt enjoyed the -- sexs a book about life. carter,resting thing is , he had as many as 20 operatives working for him. and went from the press here all the time. nobody thought he did anything wrong. fast forward. another operation i wanted to talk about was british intelligence. -- thing i was really it's really surprised to find out was the extents of british intelligence in 1941. it was a massive operation with thousands of thousands of people in canada and south america. the whole goal of it was to get the united states into the war. first providing assistance to brit

the american character should be able to improvise. by that i mean when you look at george washington and the dark days of december 17, '77 at valley forge, the ability to improvise, to be almost a guerrilla fighter, to live off the land, to be able to do what we need to do to get the job done. >> from the very beginning that is what an american is. minority groups in certain religious groups were not and women were not really considered citizens. that changes over time. overtime more and more people are brought into the american family. >> sunday night at 8:00 eastern on c-span's q&a. >> a senate hearing on the world bank looked at the role these institutions play in us foreign policy and relations with china. indiana senator todd young chairs the foreign relations subcommittee on developers, economic and environmental policy, this is 2 hours. >> good afternoon. this hearing of the senate foreign relations subcommittee on multilateral internationa

in terms of american attitudes. the soldiers hung around in europe for months waiting to be shipped back home. in that time, they were put in germans and french homes. when they came back, they were not -- there was no great feeling about their experience. most of them didn't fight and spent a long time training. there was very little in the way of celebration, actually. it was in the middle -- there had just been an election, neither the president nor his opposition wanted to give the other side any credit for anything that had happened. and then wilson immediately headed to europe to negotiate. he never took a victory lap. all of this contributed to aiken -- tremendous disillusionment which was heavily compounded and used in what was a bloodied partisan -- metaphorically bloodied, partisan struggle immediately. even without twitter. >> even without twitter. [ laugh ] >> everybody was thinking immediately, what happens after midterm election, what is the next subject? the next subject is the next presidential elect

that was the end of it until we also found out that the american museum of the smithsonian american museum of history has a collection of these. they don't have the entire collection but they have a nice size collection of artwork. many of us trundled out to washington, d.c. to the museum where the curators were very kind and knowledgeable to show us many pieces of the original artwork. it was a stunning. by the time we got back, some of us wanted to look at the photographs and i would write about it. that is how we started out. it ended up that one of the people working very closely with me had many volunteers that had other things to work on. and he kind of laughed in the middle of the project. then it was me. that is okay. i was very interested and except for one little stumble, carried on very well. the symbol was, i had actually so much material to work with for this one artist. because of the way i went about it, it took me a long, long time to get through it. by the time i finished in the article -- and the article was posted i was waiting for a response from the public saying, yes,

american? that is this year's c-span studentcam video competition question. students and teachers from around the country are posting on social media about it. heidi long from carol stream, illinois, tweeted, what does it mean to be an american? social studies students brainstorming constitutional rights, national characteristics and important people and events of the nation. lauren from pascoe county, florida, tweeted -- studentsins has two recognized for their projects in recent years. i think he's going for a trifecta. indiana senator todd young tweeted, visited fischer's high school today to speak with the government class, and i was interviewed by students participating in c-span's studentcam scholarship program. we discussed freedom of speech and the first amendment. mrs. king from william dandy middle school in fort lauderdale tweeted -- project-based learning at its finest. this year, we are asking middle school and high school students to produce a five minute to six minute documentary

it was about african-american soldiers and over african-american americans in the progressive era during the age of imperial warfare. i realized when i circulated an early draft of that book manuscript that i had landed myself in the middle of a heated argument on framing along civil rights movement versus maintaining a sense of the classical phase or phase of the civil rights movement. but not only did i not have a dog in that fight, i haven't realized until i got my reader's report that there was a fight. and so had never thought to bring a dog. you guys know the sort of ins and outs of this debate but i'll sort of give you the quick reminder. and what i'll say is jacqueline hall's synthesis of where the literature was in 2005 does a lovely job of making a case for a long civil rights movement she where is the history begin with brown and end with the voting rights act truncates the time line of what was a sort of broad and imaginative freedom struggle in service to cold war liberalism and turning the fights to white supremacy in psychological system into a simple drive for colorblindn

officer liked to tell american -- ask american reporters to have lunch with him. just to learn something about american society and the fbi really wanted to know what they were talking about. so what he would do, this fbi agent, he would call the --sident's of the national the president of the national press club up and he would say we know that this guy is going to meet for lunch with a certain reporter and he would say -- is this guy ok? and the president of the club would say don't mess with him or , you know what? he is an marine. he is going to be fine, and the president of the club would call the reporter up and say, you know, the fbi would really like it if you would volunteer to cooperate with them and most of the time the reporter would call this agent up and volunteer. and then they were off and running. and so, other fbi agents found out about this and they did the same thing. so they used this guy. they did it with two different presidents to help them recruit american reporters as sources. that raises the question of what should be the proper relation

american past. they were made by vanishing people. too many outsiders, native incompatible with modernity. baskets, partner, pipes and other handmade items that indians typical in deemed practical became decorative items. cherokee arts and crafts, especially baskets, found a receptive audience in the early 20th century. on 1911, there were at least four merchants selling items in more than 40 cherokee supplement to their income by weaving baskets and pottery to sell to outsiders. in order to better take advantage of the increasing popularity in native american culture, turkey leaders work federal officials to establish a local fall event. the first cherokee indian fare opened on october 13, 1914. in attendance exceeded expectations. thousands of tourists from across the region flooded the three day event. the fair was simultaneously and somewhat paradoxically, a venue for promoting traditional arts and crafts as commerce and a method for increasing turkey integration into broader american society. s

have to you can succeed consequence of this american informal destruction is a classical american strat the job to touring and possibly this month in russia and this is how it basically brings us to the point where we both perceive different thinks about one another not interact and directly but eventually thinking. about one about her do you see just recently that the key feature of our time as far as foreign policy is concerned is uncertainty and tolerance to uncertainty how you process it how you live with it is a key feature of emotional stability the lack of it if these according to freud leads to neurosis i wonder if we if this is where we are at the neurotic stage or has it gone further have to let's say paranoia well we. would have this uncertainty which is structured. and the killer of sort of everybody playing the game but we also have this misplaced certainty certainty about something that we actually know very little but we take for granted like you know like what you know i'm not going to leave believes that russia has a malign idea to elect american president while it and

, hispanic americans, asian americans, native americans, and women have their own values, histories, and identities separate from and sometimes in opposition to dominant anglo white male culture. this argument has consequences. in july, 1991, new york state released its social studies curriculum. it was entitled "one nation, ny peoples: a declaration of multicultural independence." references to the american peoples as opposed to the american people abound in the national history standards put out in 1994 and 1995. for example, one standard in the national history standards declares, quote, stuneds should understand how big business, heavy industry, and mechanized farming transformed the american peoples in the late 19th century. by inverting the language of american unity, the concept of the peoples of the united states creates a counterpatriotic symbolism that subordinates the -- this is deliberate, rhetorical subversion. moreover, the national history standards described in the formation of the united states as a product not of western civilization, but instead as a convergence of

and he said to northern americans, when i unveiled the emancipation proclamation, about 100,000 african-americans came from the north to the south and the war effort. if i cancel it, maybe they would go back and help the south. and look at this as something that may help us win the war and that was part of lincoln's brilliance and shared by franklin roosevelt. >> among the pantheon of greats is franklin roosevelt. you wrote of fdr, the president deserved what they rendered after his death. men will thank god on their knees a hundred years from now that franklin roosevelt was president. it's difficult to imagine any other leader of that generation guiding with such success a resistant nation toward intervention and ultimate victory in the most momentous of all wars. >> yeah, i think that's truth. roosevelt called world war ii, the survival war and hoped that other americans would, too. he didn't want it to be called world war ii because that would remind people of world war i which most people considered to be a failure, but i would qualify it and i do in the work, of course, i think that roosevel

south american-australia. one interesting case of overrepresentation the "wall street journal" reported 1995 that more than four-fifths of all doughnut shops were owned by people of cambodian origin in california. owners of these businesses are a mobility ladder to enter the middle class. it also means since cambodian-americans are a relatively small portion of the population, they would be underrepresented in other occupations. so how could a policy of ethnic gender proportionallism remain consistent with a free society? well it can't. the diversity project. drarytsism means coercive diversity. marcuse has his are repressive tolerance. a diverse society is not compatible with a free society. professor donald horowitz of duke declared "it remains problematic, the heavy handed policies operating in a command economy can move a society to such a state." third leg of the triad, of politics critical teary. critical theory tells us that western societies are divided between two basic groups, the privileged and the

we wouldn't get a deal if we deal only with american pressure that we need to send signals to american the stubble to shrink to a condom. contrary to what the president washington as a studio like a position will be voting in favor of clinton in addition to influencing the american leader we also have to invest in influencing the entire political climate that's least you know communicating with them sending the signal that you know guys it's absolutely your your your think what is going on in washington where you have no idea and no interest in actually you seem to be missing your argument on the idea that they genuinely believe that to be the case and it is hard for me to accept that i'm pretty sure that people let's say in the obama or hillary clinton camp know what they were doing there was a very deliberate decision we know it from the leak hillary clinton e-mails to kind of entangled russia and that's one thing like you know in terms of the political technology as we call it yes the decision to play this russian card came twenty four hours after the defeat but actually if you spea

, hispanic americans, asian americans, native americans, and women have their own values, histories, and identities separate from and sometimes in opposition to dominant anglo white male culture. this argument has consequences. statey 1991, new york released its social studys correct -- social studies curriculum. one nation, many people's. referenced to the american peoples as opposed to the american people abound in the national history standards put out in 1990 four and 1995. for example, one for standard declares "students should understand how big business, heavy industry, and mechanized farming transformed the american people's in the late 19th century. by inverting the language of american unity, the concept of the peoples of the united states creates a counter patriotic symbolism that subordinates the --. this is deliberate, rhetorical subversion. or over, the national history standards described in a formation of the united states as a product not of western instead as a but convergence of three civilizations. european, west african-islamic, and amer indian. historically inac

aluminum and american steel. [applause] we have taken bold action to reduce the cost of prescription drugs. drug prices are starting to come down. drug companies, a number of months ago, were going to raise their prices. i called up the head of pfizer, novartis, and others. i said you can't do that. you can't raise their prices. and you know what they did? they brought them down, they didn't raise them. and that's when i realized being the president of the united states is a very powerful position. [applause] of course, i guarantee any other president would not be calling up the drug companies and telling them not to raise their price. right here in mississippi, we have opened up new affordable health care plans that are almost 60% cheaper than the disaster known as obama care. [applause] and to help critically ill patients get life-saving treatments, we passed something that i'm very proud of. it's called right to try. hopefully nobody is going to need it for a long time, but right to try, we have the greatest m

are you yourself african-american? i am african american. that is why we got from, because of the backlash of obama. we still live in a racist country. let's be real about it. at this point, we basically need john kennedy were a prototype of clinton. but not saying clinton, that is the prototype, a person that we need to go head-to-head with trump, who may get primary. host: i was intrigued by your first comment on that that you said donald trump may get primary. could take onnk donald trump in the republican primary? guy, the governor, i cannot think of his name. he is not against him, but he did not like the way -- i cannot .hink of his name the governor from massachusetts, baker? caller: no. the skies are republican. host: from ohio, john kasich? caller: yes. if we had a guy in there even like romney, i could kind of, we could roll with it. trunk is off the chain. they are talking about they did not vote for the affordable care act. ity voted 70 times to kill along with pre-existing conditions. host: david, i appreciate your perspective t

the traditional american approach had been to get american products into other markets. >> key is the only one in charge and there are lots of people in the administration who don't agree with him on issues like nato and trade. when the president decides this is what we are going to do, that is what we do. rex pillars and and hr mcmaster found out what it meant the president wants to go in a different direction than they want to go. you can't underestimate the importance of a president who is increasingly confident in his view about how to conduct the presidency. they say i know how to do this and go away and i sense is that is how they are dealing with and so he is going to be there and he's going to be in charge and givandwith the way he wants to t no matter what they tell him to. >> we have seen support. what did you see the other day, that he's made globalism better again? you've seen support co-op in american leadership in the world go up. i don' don't wish you'd done any polling among young people but what about the public opinion >> the account on global affairs have been givin

great american built. to be honest with you we really don't know where the pilgrimage goes from here i believe we're on the precipice of a whole new priscus and that means that. the impossible has now become possible to cairo moment here in america cairo us is latin of course for a moment in time when things are no longer in sync when you bring the power of stevie big macs keyser together. i am not a terrorist i am not at that as i am not. these days no matter where you are in the world the chances are you walk. in the deaths of innocent people just like any anywhere and thousand probably won't have the slightest idea. and if you won't see coming. what we have seen in post nine eleven scenario that in case of pakistan c.r.u. had been given a license to kill the a bombing villages their villages their houses their mud houses the bombing them sometimes they claim that they have killed a terrorist and then you see he is alive so who have the kill. him image of children for a country for profit. how can you sm

a wonderful advocate for the american military family. second lady karen pence is a dedicated wife and mother and an award-winning artist. before becoming the first lady of indiana and 2008 teen she spent 35 years in the classroom as an elementary school teacher. her commitment to the well- being of young people and her families is evident in everything that she does, especially when it comes to raising awareness about the importance of therapy. she is also a champion of military members and their families, and in particular, she is committed to educating military spouses about the resources and the opportunities available to them and to their families. mrs. pence is such a compassionate and creative woman, and she has truly a caring heart. i would ask all of you to please join me in giving her a red cross welcome.

to the american people we heard you. our caucus is eager to restore the promises of our democracy and give you the government you deserve and that work is starting now, thank you. >> thank you for being here and thank the class of 2018. for your incredible advocacy on this point. we have been working in the democracy reform task force for the last couple years but even prior to that because nancy pelosi made it clear that she wanted to reach out to the country, to the people and certainly to members and get that input as to what we needed to do to restore democracy and so we have been toiling away in the salt mines to put together a strong package because the class of 2018 is arriving, that this is the statement, the package we need to take to our constituents, the people who sent us here. we are going to work as hard as we can to move quickly and boldly in the next congress, with the support for this effort and leadership. >> thank you for your extraordinary leadership on the subject. to put it in historical perspective
