john brown. it energized the abolitionist movement because this seemed to be further evidence vethat slavery was expanding. there was a hope among many moderate anti-slavery. slavery would simply be contained then eventually it would die of its own rates in the north. but with the kansas nebraska act it looks like slavery was breaking out of the reason in which it had previously been contained so john brown was taught by his son into going to kansas and taking up arms in the struggle against slavery. ours well, kansas was open to settlement by free settlers and slavery settlers and the good bring their property so folks from the free states to bring their horses and their mules and their slaves and the idea was under stephen douglas is the area of popular sovereignty when king qualify for statehood they were extended, they would vote on the constitution and the constitution would say kansas would be a free state or a slave state so the rush would be to see who could fill up kansas with pro-or ant

brown together? >> booth was an actor and he left to go witnessed the execution of john brown but he looked at john brown, obviously he detested john brown stood for, a white supremacist and hated abolitionists but he was struck by john brown, they were there so eventually john brooks booth of the center, it was ironic a lot of southerners had much more positive things to say about john, they demonized him but admired under pressure, there is a thing about southern honor so i think john wilkes booth and john brown in reverse. the grandest of the century but booth was the right one. john brown died for the wrong reason. try to murder what he considered the right one but he wanted to be john brown in reverse. >> do you want to add to that? >> it's striking to me in some ways concerning what he learns what wilkes booth learned from john brown in the speech john brown case before the court and on his way to being executed if booth had been willing to take that final step, he could have prepared a speech,

>> and then to witness the execution of john brown but obviously he detested everything john brown stood for which he was really struck on the scaffold and he was the communist person there essentially he calls in the grandest man of the century. they both demonized and that they admired him being cool under pressure talking about southern honor. think john wilkes fifth try to get john brown in reverse to be the grandest man of the century but booth was the right one john wilkes booth wanted to murder for what he considered the right cause that he wanted to be john brown in reverse. >> it is striking to me that in some ways what wilkes booth learned before the court and being executed that the booth was willing to take a final step he had the stage present and didn't have brown foxy. >> can you both talk about the rolele of religion in these two commands lives and how it brought them to it ended up quick. >> i can try a little bit but it simply my observation. lincoln is the most interesting character. lincoln seems to me to grow more religious and it is almost as though lincoln says at

or john brown is a republican, john brown is not a republican, i'm not like john brown, i'm not abolitionist, i believe the guaranty slavery, this was his position. lincoln eventually was elected president of united states. to summarize, john brown believed slavery would and as a result of this war at upper sperry. john brown might have started a war and failed, tries to free slaves as a result. ...av >> bill to prevent the war which the same thing, he felt a handiwork and he was forced to accept and emancipation as a way of preserving the irony in it is that john brown and abraham lincoln answers this question of what you do john brunson will will take emancipation and abraham lincoln said were going to take theou peaceful act abraham lincoln in the first wan american history, many people dd in theut end is the result that john brown wanted and he prophesied this had 1839. there and pursue the questions. >> thank you to you both so much for a wonderful talk and we got questions comedian and i want to remind our viewers and home then you can post the questions on facebook or twitter and yout

so that's why i, as a good brown girl from the hood -- and i am very, very proud of being a brown girl from the hood who made it to congress -- that i am here to defend and to speak for those people who were my viewers, and some of them turned into my voters. the brown community in this country is the largest minority in the country, 20% of the population, 50 million people. we want dignity. and unfortunately, the democratic party has played political football with us since reagan. i was at that press conference where he promised in the first 100 days of his presidency, he was going to give immigration reform law. and you know what happened? use that political capital into obamacare. and that's fine. he's the president. he can use that political capital into anything he wants. but you know what? don't lie to us. now in 2020, president biden said the same thing. within the one -- first 100 days of my presidency, i'm going to give my immigration reform law. and he has abandoned us, as well. for what? for childcare care, for elderly care, for vision care. and that's fine. he's the preside

elaine brown is still politically active. still a force of nature even at 78 years old as long as i can walk and talk then i'm going to be putting in my two cents and trying to make do something, even if i am an army of one on the walls of her oakland apartment. i love you. e even though he could make me bad. there are portraits of her friends and former revolutionaries such as huey newton, the co founder of the 19 sixties and seventies black militant organization. the black panthers. i met huey and, uh, as to put it to put it just quickly. he became ah, my lover. and my leader, brown was raised in philadelphia but moved to los angeles in the 19 sixties, where she saw the poverty and watson the well documented abuse of black people by los angeles law enforcement, she says she was moved by a group of children in a housing project where she was giving piano lessons in 1967 your they are and i'm doing nothing for them. they're living like in. what's what am i doing ? so i became immersed in the black organizations around me. i w

jeffrey brown spoke to author imani perry, who traveled the south, and explored the complexities and misperceptions along the way. it's part of our arts and culture series, "canvas." as well as our "race matters." >> it's sort of like trying to get to the root and help readers from all over the place understand that it's the root. >> brown: the "root" of the country, for imani perry, is the south. and even on a recent walk in new york, she saw connections everywhere. >> so, harlem is filled with southern culture. wall street, right, is dependent upon the history of the u.s. slave trade. >> brown: perry's new book takes us on trips she made all over the region below the mason-dixon line, from maryland to mississippi, and takes on what she sees as a misperception of the south's continuing role in who we are today. it's called “south to america.” >> the south is really not only where the idea begins, right, of what this nation would become, but it also has moved the country about, because it was the bounty of the south that allowed for the nation to become wealthy, to become a globa

judge brown jackson would become the first black woman on the court. the president's comments run just over 20 minutes. you! pres. biden: good afternoon. i am here to fulfill my responsibilities under the constitution to preserve freedom and liberty here in the united states of america. it is my honor to introduce to the country the daughter of a former public school teacher, a proven consensus builder and an accomplished lawyer, a distinguished jurist, one of the nation's most -- a member of one of the nation's most stay just courts. my nominee for the u.s. supreme court is judge ketanji brown jackson when justice breyer announced his retirement, i said we need someone to serve -- choosing someone to serve on the supreme court is one of the most serious responsibilities a president has and i mean it. i promised i would select someone worthy of justice breyer's legacy. someone with the utmost character and integrity. i would bring to this decision my perspective as a lawyer, a former law professor, a chairman of the judiciary committee for many years,

and stuart tries to talk brown of the surrendering brown won't quite come to terms and so stuart pulls off his cavalry hat steps to one side and leaves men opened fire. and of course, john brown is ultimately captured. well now robert e. lee has seen stewart in action. he knows he can carry out assignments. he knows he's brave. he knows he's scared of virtually nothing and i think that's what pretty much cements the relationship between those two men. stuart goes back to his wife out west but then fairly shortly afterwards the johnson fired it for it sumter. and he makes a decision. it's a very easy one for him. he resigns from the us military goes back to virginia and and joins the army there. he starts off as a first lieutenant. i'm not going to go in detail about all of the battles at jeb stewart was involved in it's like to give you a brief summary of that and then we'll get to the exciting set of them the overland campaign. and of course his his death. one thing i'll ask you to think about is this though? jeff stewart was born in 1833 in february of 1833 and he died in may. of 186

jeffrey brown has the story for our arts and culture series, "canvas." >> brown: americans have their greatest generations, right? >> absolutely. >> brown: but, elizabeth samet argues, our mythologizing of the world war ii "greatest generation" may, in the end, have harmed us. >> i still see the backward glance at world war ii preventing us from having a clear sense of what we can accomplish today, in, let's ce it, in many ways a very different world from the world of 1945. >> brown: samet's book is titl“" looking for the good war: american amnesia and the violent pursuit of happiness.” this is not, she makes clear, an argument against america's involvement in world war ii, or the just cause in fighting it. rather, she challenges a romanticized, partial view of that era that has influenced our actions since. >> the myth always seems to win out in popular imagination, and it bleeds from popular culture into political rhetoric as well, and into the vocabulary with which we describe all the wars that have followed. >> brown: and that's why it matters. >> that why it matters, yes. it

chairman, chairman brown, thank you for having this hearing. we are grateful you are spotlighting these issues being raised at the hearing and grateful for your work and that of the ranking member. i wanted to start with mia ives-rublee, first want to go say how much i appreciate her testimony and also to assert that she's got kind of a triple credential. you have been an ssi recipient and you have worked for years with people with disabilities to secure employment, and you also have been a public policy advocate. i think your qualifications are without question and i wanted to direct my first question to you and ask you in particular about ssi policies and employment. you have experienced the fear of exceeding the ssi asset limit or the federal benefit rate limit and we know that that limit right now is $794. a couple years ago, back in december of 2014, as part of a tax bill we passed the able act, which i was leading at the time with senator burr from north carolina, we passed into law a provision that created accounts, like a 529 account fo

jeffrey brown has more for our "race matters," and arts and culture series, "canvas." >> brown: under the sea, a magical world. and also, if you look hard enough-- and you know how to scuba dive-- a living link to america's tortured past. jay haigler has seen it. >> combining the importance of history and ancestral memory, and understanding how that applies today, combining those things with scuba diving-- that was a match made in heaven. >> brown: haigler is part of“ diving with a purpose,” a group of primarily black divers who love to go under water, but also have a larger mission: to find and research sunken ships from the inteational slave trade. >> the stories that we tell are important. and more importantly, e untold stories. these stories-- the "guerrero" and then many other ships-- as we got more involved in the search for these ships, became exciting because most people haven't heard the story, including myself. >> brown: “diving with a purpose”, or d.w.p., was founded in 2003 by divers ken stewart and brenda lanzendorf to join an ongoing effort to find the remains of

ketanji brown jackson already knows her way around the supreme court. she was a law clerk for justice stephen breyer, the man she's been nominated to succeed. she's now a judge on the federal appeals court in washington confirmed for that position just eight months ago >> she's an amazing person. >> one of her supporters is paul ryan, the former speaker of the house. his in-laws and hers are related. judge brown grew up in miami where her mother was a school administrator and her father was a lawyer for the school board. >> i was doing high homework with my father and he had his law books stacked up and i had all of my coloring books stacked up, and when i think back to those times there really is no question that my interest in the law began that early on. >> she graduated from harvard and harvard law and that's where she met her husband patrick, now a surgeon. they have two daughters, ages 17 and 21 if confirmed, she'll be the first black woman ever on the supreme court and the first justice since thurgood marshall who retired with significant experie

chairman brown said he'd help us get answers to these questions but we've been stonewalled. we were stonewalled before. we've been stonewalled since. and so today i informed the chairman that it's the review of the republican members of the committee that we can still go ahead and vote on the five. i've heard them talk about how important it is that we populate the fed with governors. four out of the five nominees, we were prepared to vote on are fed governors. we could have had that vote already. we could have that vote tonight. we could do it tomorrow. there's no problem with that. but rather than advance five nominees through the committee, chairman brown decided he'd rather have zero. so we're at zero. that's his choice. he could have had five advance through the committee. and you have to ask yourself why would it be so important to my democratic colleagues that we forego the opportunity to move five along the process if it means that for now sarah bloom raskin doesn't get a vote for what, by the way, would be a ten-year term on the fed. and there's only one plausible e
