not only in philadelphia but national so that's that's one of her kind of things to fame here in philadelphia. are these salons and she's well sought after and sam you can talk about this a little bit more if you'd like. she's certainly people are coming to philadelphia to see her and maybe more so her than even samuel. yeah. so one thing like i mentioned that the constitutional convention delegates were coming to visit here for these salons. they were of course. friends and business associates with with the pals, but maybe perhaps some of the most important ones that you've heard of of course were and this is a number of all the founding fathers you would have heard of but benjamin franklin was a guest here john adams and abigail adams the marquita lafayette marquis again to shuttle you of course and our beloved george and martha washington who did end up becoming very close friends with the pals. and they actually lived and we've kind of believe that they probably first they might have known each other earlier, but they probably started develop a friendship around the 1780s when lived next

so by early 1776, that news gets to philadelphia. so now half a year into the war, and it is getting very clear that negotiating, talking is not solving anything. of course, you do have this very radical bend of men that are in this room, that are pushing for more for this idea of independence. finally, you get the last big push which is thomas payne's book of common sense, actually published here in philadelphia january of 1776. selling tens of thousands of paul -- cockpits of the colonies. simple argument is, you don't even need those guys in london. we are better off on our own over here. we can run america better than the british ever could. so, this idea of independence kind of small through that spring. by june, virginia introduces a resolution for american independence. but they decide to not address it right away. they are going to want to consult their own home governments, their colonies, their state if you want to call it at that point. a, time they want to get them they are paper, while they are each consulting home to se

when it comes to i live in philadelphia. i had an operation in the last year the same place that john marshall died the same building the first hospital in the united states. it comes up is got kidney stones. i forget he was in washington or lisbon at the time. he writes all the way up. kidney stones. now that is a man. that's the guy is living any dies in philadelphia basically on the operating table. but he is working until then. and has a very long career. the 30 some years he was chief justice is only part of it. i hope people get to read my book. as well as his career. while people did his founding fathers it really wasn't that hard. there's only 3 million people in the first census. 3million whites people i'm sorry, people who could then there were women so presumably they're even less than that. it could've been founding fathers. in their way out in western virginia. so if you really wanted to be a founding father you had a little india, probably would be able to do it. spirit were about to turn to questions but guess

at the very end and a very nice one in harrisburg, pennsylvania after philadelphia. so is his hand his arm ached. he lost his voice over and over again including halfway through the trip and miraculously it came back, but he was in a kind of physical agony especially in his hand and arm from shaking tens of thousands of of hands. but he did it, you know, he stood up and did it over and over again and that was something i was very moved by is his physical courage and his mental courage and he just showed up for every difficult job. that was expected of him the humble jobs of standing outside. an assembly room in a state house letting 2,000 people come through in all have a piece of him. including a possible. assassin but then even with no time to write speeches. he's he's saying things ever more beautifully and that i don't know how he did that, but i imagine falling asleep at night. is going through the thoughts in his mind and he did fall asleep the last second to last night of the trip near independence hall so i'm sure he was thinking about the declaration of what

i've been to cleveland and pittsburgh and philadelphia for separate reasons. i've been to those places. i went to cleveland -- i am a rail buff, so i once took a train to cleveland. i went all the way to chicago but through cleveland, and new york i -- i now live in new york, and i grew up in providence, so i've done the last stretch from new york to washington, hundreds and probably thousands of times, but i need to go in a car. i'm a parent of a son in his young 20s, if i can persuade my son to go with me, i need to get to springfield and in a car go through those small towns in illinois and indiana and southern ohio and the outskirts of pittsburgh and then up to cleveland and slowly across upstate new york, and i want to take like six weeks and really do it right. but i have not done it as well as i would like to. >> sure. a question from mel moorer, he asks whose idea was it for lincoln to take the journey to washington in this way? >> well, he had to get there somehow, and trains were already established as the best way to go from west to east, and he had

going back to philadelphia hoping that lightning strikes twice. they have to approve the articles and would create a new constitutional system of government and find ways of moving forward in a more united way . so what we don't know is that people know all about the founding debates over slavery, over the electoral college and over how do we pick the president but there was another i always call the other founding debate and that was over the capital city. should we have multiple capitals or where should it be, what should it look like and decided it and they couldn't agree on one capital. at one point to try to satisfy everybody evenben franklin throughout the idea we should have multiple capitals . because it's congress nobody would come, succumb to the city so they joke was the trojansthey would be get a horse . giant children for trojan horse and congress would hide it. and then congress would get onto its business so this was the other founding debate. we have multiple quotes of george washington and other framers at the debate over a capita

into philadelphia. as the constitution hall not today. pennsylvania's some of our nation's elected officials are inside of the building. it is surrounded by every unpaid mutineer, a citizen of philadelphia come pouring out a beverage drunk and knowing of a drunken an unruly mob and angry unpaid soldiers printed they are ready to take legislatures hostage party congress is worried in the pennsylvania assembly is worried that effectively for the lives predict fast george washington to put down this mutiny and washington tells the mutineers, to go home. just go home. any pardons people and for the second time, he brilliantly handles their mutiny and by this time washington realizes that this new experiment popular government is going to be very difficult to run. next slide. the washington put together a vision and dream if you will from accreditation we need to have. so the war and this in the fall of 1783 is pretty much the question is now what. what happens next. we have the political and economic in a c

and then as he comes closer to philadelphia, beginning in trying to new jersey and then in philadelphia, he talks with great beauty and grace and historical insight and some personal memory of his childhood, which as you know, the small amounts we ever get, we cherish because he spoke so little about the person he was has a pretty unlettered and impoverished youth. so at the end of the trip, he's talking about when the american reserve revolution meant to him when he was a child hood reader of history. and then giving these beautiful remarks in on next to independence hall that to me foreshadow what he will say in the same state two years later at gettysburg. >> i agree with you, that's something about being in the sense of revolution and made him and has before. i wish he i could say that he was equally enjoyable. in a hostile place but how seriously do you take his rumblings about coring, making a stop and what he called the place of magma tiffany? do you think he ever really contemplated doing that? >> you know i never thought about that until the second. because a really precise per

what are you hearing in philadelphia. we are getting more jabs in arms and yet we see personal spending declined in february. patrick: it has been choppy because the virus has been variable. we have had good months and bad months. we are seeing numbers rise in this region. until we get through this period , we will see a lot of volatility in all of these measures and that makes them hard to read. for me as a policymaker, i want to hold steady and make sure we get through this, then we can start to normalize once we get through this. michael: when you say get through this, how long you think it lasts? patrick: when you talk to epidemiologists, they will say sometime in the fall we should start to get herd immunity. i am concerned about some of the things we are hearing. vaccine hesitancy is real. we hear this from our health care contacts. health-care workers are reluctant to get the vaccine. we need to make sure we get vaccine into people's arms as quickly as possible. michael: what are companies telling you about finding

kensington is the area of philadelphia hardest hit in the wake of this was the city of philadelphia establish the opioid response union to address these concerns. combined efforts allowed us to make significant changes in the way we serve our most vulnerable residents. time is of the essence because it has been going on for a while. >> as long as i have known that area it has been going on. this is not getting any better. if it does start to get better and we will continue to follow. the city of oakland launches one of the largest guaranteed income programs in the country. the california communities such to send 600 family $500 a month. the initiative, experimenting with universal basic income. to qualify, families mister less then 50% of median income and identify as ethnic minorities. the nation's second-largest teachers union says it is not convinced of social distancing adequate for schools. the american federation of teachers writing this letter to the cdc saying we have immediate logistical questions and they do not identify mitigation strategies to support 3 feet of physical distancing

we have a note from philadelphia and ties between franklin and philadelphia become manifest on a note like this. i should mention not every individual whose portrait appears on note is a famous politician or leader. the individual on the others of the note happens to be not only the president of this banking institution and the owner of the glassblowing factory you see pictured above, but an industrialist an interesting figure in philadelphia who ran a community called diet ville. he would have been well known around the area there but not necessarily someone would be familiar with him, so one of the questions to ask yourself is if you pick this villa in virginia or louisiana, you recognize franklin, but what do you make of someone like thomas diet being on the note? is this someone you give trust and confidence to war doesn't give you a moment of pause because you don't recognize who the individual list? it's interesting to think about not only the game banknote producers are playing in the decisions they make and what vignettes wind up on a note, but obviously how the public receive

i got to my freedom and i got to philadelphia. and when i got there, i was told to look for a man whose name was mr. william still. now mr. steele was a free colored man. he was an important colored man as well. you see he was in charge of the anti slavery society right there in philadelphia the city of brotherly love. but more important than all of that. he was a station master on the underground railroad. so i met up with him and we got to be very fast friends and over time. he taught me all about. the underground railroad and in 18 and 51 he decided that i harriet tubman. might be the kind of person who could be a conductor on his railroad. so that's when i started making my tricks. as a conductor and i won't want y'all to know on that railroad. we mostly traveled at night. hit in the day. at night we'd follow that north star follow that drinking gourd. because you see all roads that lead north. they lead to freedom. one other thing about that railroad it was illegal. against the law but i'ma tell you it was a way to freedom fo

you moved from testing and in fact i got my first covid test by you in philadelphia into vaccination. and one of the things we're seeing is that philadelphia, where you understood there was a shortage of access for health care for black people, it's 42% black but 21.5% of the vaccines in philadelphia have gone to black residents. so black residents are getting about half the vaccine that in theory they're eligible for. you are working hard to fix this inquity but across the country this is not fixed. >> that's absolutely right. thanks for having me on, ali. we put our foot down, quite honestly, because we have worked so hard over the past year to try to level a playing field when all you had was a covid test and contract tracing. they were essentially nonexistent in black and brown communities, so we brought them there. then with the vaccine, we did so much with education and dealing with the hesitancy and so forth, and then we were able to bring the vaccines and then we had folks that were not reflective of these underserved populations coming in. and so we started to oversample from

i was living in philadelphia at the time i put the pieces together. i remember walking down locust street, in a state of baffled excitement, because i think we americans today tend to assume we are more global, more engaged with the rest of the world, then previous points in our history. in some ways, in terms of the speed and instead to nady -- speed and quickness of connections, that may be true but i think we have forgotten how globally minded, and house spherically minded -- how hemispherically minded, we were. to explain why latin america had such a place of prominence at fourth of july subbasins -- fourth of july celebrations 200 years ago, what we called the american revolution was the first strike in a hemispheric age of american revolution. in hot sentry that unfolded between the shot heard round the world in 1775, and the independence of bolivia, in 1825, most of the western hemisphere broke away from europe. the u.s., obviously, followed by the independence of haiti in 1804. in the 1810s and 1820's, brazil and the entire spanish-american ma
