so, henry had done boston. he never really liked boston. if you're into education he prizes quincy but it's not boston. but then again, when he talks about quincy it's a romantic ideal because what he required was the kind of intellectual excitement. it's harvard, right? intellectual excitement you don't get at harvard because henry adams was a playful guy and wasn't about being in a lecture haul and talking to 19-year-olds. this was about going to washington. his this was about seeing the japanese ambassador to the united states on the street and striking up a conversation and that night going to his house and playing cards. this is about having people from the rest of the world come to washington and be there and be an adams and have access to these personalities and these minds. so there was a diverse any washington that he very much i think wanted and needed and cambridge and boston just couldn't compete with that. >> that brings me to a point that one of my favorite quotes in the book is the british statesman who said if adams ever loo

todd: patrice, from orlando to boston, boston public schools suspending enrollment for advanced learning classes for one year as the superintendent cites inequities. 70% of students enrolled in the gifted program were white and asian, 80% of students in boston public schools are hispanic and black. here is the quote from the superintendent. there's been a lot of inequities that have been brought to light in the pandemic that we have to address. there's a lot of work we have to do in the district to be anti-racist and have policies where all of our students have a fair shot and equitable and excellent education. look, i think there's an argument that those numbers need to include way more black and hispanics, just based on the fact that black and hispanics make up a larger part of the population. but why hurt the kids that have done well that need the extra learning to push them, to advance them to the next level? >> so this is an example of the soft bigotry of low expectations. i grew up in boston and tested into some of those unique programs for kids coming from poor neighborhoods. i di

there are several large pharmaceutical companies in boston and for that matter the national institutes of health which is going to the forefront of this fight has been very involved in developing their own production capacity i hear that they're in talks with a couple of chinese companies try and import concentrated baskin and then at least start backing it and box on to ease the burden and then develop the basti to manufacture it in boston down the road because this. first of all the board vaccine demond is not going away in the next couple of months also because we need to prepare for the next pandemic so i think the government and the private pharmaceutical there are getting ready to be ready for the next wave as of now we we are dependent on imports but hopefully that will not be the case in a few months or at least most of the year as if i'm saying earlier on in the show you know several nations have gone to the will try to organization wanting to get access to the to the intellectual property in order to to make these that scenes within their own countries do you think that would

i point out my biography that she was introduced to a boston audience as harriet garrison in the print so i make the argument that she had to be infamous that they were giving her a suit in them to really protect her during that particular era her work. however on the underground railroad it is so well known so popular when i began to think about my biography of her there was her own biography published during her lifetime, which was sponsored. there was a biography by earl conrad which here 60 years before mine, and i was determined also as you point out to talk about her civil war career if you do get to auburn and you learn about the community there the impact was that the entire community many of the state legislators were trying to get her recognition for her civil war service and she indeed eventually gained a pension in the last few years of the century, but one that she was very proud of serving under the flag and i think her role serving under the flag is something we really want to emphasize. we really want to think about she was a soldier she was a patriot and how and in wha

boston is not alone in that. but one of the elements is giving people of color and other minorities access to things that are so easily available within 15 miles of boston. within five miles of the core of boston. access to super markets, access to bank branches, access to health care. and in boston, it was only relatively early or relatively a little while ago in terms of the way we measure history that places like roxbury had such access. so what does this that you're doing with dr. kennedy, what does this do to enhance elements of squawk access to things that other communities take for granted? >> i'm so glad you brought that up. because boston does have such a mixed history and reputation when it comes to racial justice. certainly people know about our sports fans yelling slurs at athletes of color from other teams, people know about the history of busing and housing discrimination in the city. but people tend to forget and draw less on some of the powerful history that has happened here. this really was the
