massachusetts in america. we maintain a fabulous research which has a collection of close to 14 million manuscript pages. and these include the papers of mother soldiers, artists, activists as as three u.s. presidents. we make this collection available, the public, for free. and we also a wide variety of programs such as this evening's our program season is wrapping up for the year but we still have a couple programs left. next monday, we will host our film club and this one will be discussing the film. good will hunting, and we'll be joined by tim kraft, who is the former deputy deputy director of the massachusetts film office, as well as missy stewart, a film producer and designer who worked on good will hunting. and then wednesday will host the grim keys. the legacy of slavery in an american family with greenwich from tufts university and i'm sure many of you know kerry, but she is off fabulous. we're only able host these programs thanks to support of our members and donors. so we hope you enjoy this evenin

he served of course, as a term as governor of massachusetts, which many people in massachusetts kids don't know in the course which it was only a year, couldn't get a lot done. but he investigated the corruption at the tewksbury almshouse, and he also appointed george lewis ruffin, the first african american to graduate from harvard law school. in 1869, he appointed him butler appointed him to the charlestown municipal court, making him the first african american judge seated in the united states. he crossed swords repeatedly with massachusetts elites, especially the harvard people. ongoing struggle there, especially massachusetts elites. and i think this has contributed mightily to the way he's been remembered today. he is, of course, and also ran for president in 1884. he ran as the candidate. he thought he might run as the democrat, didn't work out grover cleveland. he ran the candidate of the greenback and antimonopoly parties and. he didn't campaign for cleveland. and somebody was talking about if trump back, it's kind of like cleveland. they were talking twitter about this. and

first in california, then in arizona and then in massachusetts. some of you might remember question two in 2002, which ended, for the most part, bilingual education, not completely. we had schools like do a language programs that was a carve out afterwards to, ensure those existed. and so i think the story is powerful because it looks at and reminds us of how it's not always progress, that there are swings in the pendulum. but what's exciting and you mentioned to look at is that in the last five years we've had legislation both in california, massachusetts particular really to look at here in massachusetts that again is saying we want to invest in multilingual ism and multiculturalism and we're right at the start of trying to implement that in schools and a really exciting time of rethinking multilingualism. so one really exciting example that we're thinking about at the high school, i'm sure you're thinking about this too in everett is the seal of bi literacy, which is a seal that students can get on their high school diploma that recognizes them

in massachusetts snap benefits will be reduced by nearly $100 per person per month. one family in western massachusetts, for example, says the reduction will mean having to choose between healthy foods or therapies for the young son with down syndrome. and there are thousands of other heartwrenching stories like this. thankfully our incredible governor has a proposal to extend three months of state-level partial payments. i support the massachusetts state legislature acting as quigley as -- quickly as possible on her proposal and i encourage other states to look for ways to ease the clip for and a half recipients. in the upcoming farm bill congress must thoroughly exam benefit. the $2 a meal is not nuvment we can and must do more to end hunger now. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from south carolina seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. wilson: than

andrea joy campbell of massachusetts. aaron d. ford of nevada. -- attorneys general, it's great to have you all with us. thank you for making time. andrew, i would like to start with you if i can. in your statement about tyre nichols's death, you write about the tremendous work needed to address corruption, police brutality, and racial injustice. talk to us about how you and your community members are doing on that front and what work would you like to see done to address police violence? >> first of all, thank you for having me and it's great to be on with my colleagues, who of course have been doing the work for a long time. we all didn't need to see another video to know that we still need transparency and accountability in our policing systems and our current legal systems. in my past work as a local counselor in the city of boston, i worked on making sure our officers were equipped with body cameras. we now have a civilian review board to review incidents of misconduct at the state level. we have a post system, where an offic

maybe a little bit in massachusetts. washington's general general, artemus ward, who had led the troops in massachusetts before washington, took command, informed washington that his soldiers there in massachusetts were demanding inoculation and artemus ward said that he thought he had a right to provide it to him, to them when they were such, when they were demanding it. washington didn't know what to think. he knew that he couldn't very well stop ward, who's in massachusetts while washington's in new jersey, stop him from doing it. so washington decided against punishing ward. quietly allowed ward to inoculate his soldiers without telling his other officers that it's happening, telling them that this is already violating that policy, that washington has announced. so they were ready amounts that are already inoculating anyway, despite washington now, washington was trying to keep his army together in the fall of 1776. new york has fallen. the british army had had had a series of devastating victories as washington is r

and that's why that these these families are persecuted with them coming to massachusetts. it doesn't work out. the way that they expect. we know where the story is leading towards the witch hunt. as i began with. but we're going to see many struggles, their lives, struggles with the environment, struggles with those who here before them, struggles with other colonial groups like the french in canada. it not a peaceful time either in the colony as a whole or in the town family life. now with rebecca nurse over the map here to kind of help us so salem village would be those both black lines and today the town of danvers is in blue so u can see it primarily lines up there. nurse the story goes there, though. original when her family comes over, they do live in what's now the city of salem. they will live in the north fields when rebecca nurse is about to 24, 25, somewhere around there. she will marry a gentleman named francis nurse. they'll live in downtown salem. and when i say about 24, 25, one of the reasons i think that nobody had ever attempted a biography, a full length

and so those people would then go on the ship, desire and come back up to massachusetts. and this was a very important moment in history because. this was the first time that enslaved african people sold in new england. and this was 1638. so remember, talked about kind of all of these dates, 16, 19, 16, 27 with new york and now 1638 here with the desire. now this becomes the policy. this becomes something that people are looking to do. they start to see how this is a way both dispossess indigenous people of their of their homelands and also make some money and be kind of a lasting way to to claim the land and so i want to talk a little bit about how they did this right. so is an idea that people start think that the european colonies start to think is a good policy and so they decide to to start doing this in subsequent wars. in fact, in 1940, it's in 1646 and 1946. this is a long over, thank goodness. but in 1646, it was just it becomes the official policy in new england and in fact, master massachusetts, not south carolina, not north carolina, not, you know, virginia. m

massachusetts is one such example. there are examples from other states where efforts are either underway or oral -- or are already successful in doing so. i would like to take a couple minutes to respond to a couple things that mark said. first, states can and do learn from each other. there was a report issued in indiana by dr. shepler, i believe, who is on the council, and certainly, indiana is taking lessons from that with respect to the potential for anticompetitive conduct. this is not a red/blue state thing. we all learn from each other. new hampshire recently took action that i thought was innovative, again speaking for myself and not for that state. so did rhode island. when you have reports like this one in conjunction with states learning from each other, we can all learn a lot from each other. then there is the certificate of public advantage. for those who are listening thinking, what is that, this is the mechanism by which a state can look at a merger, decide what it is going to do with the merger, and ba

i am not just talking about massachusetts as your current fiscal state. host: the caller was talking about how the extra snap benefits came during covid. republicans have not shown an interest in this. do you think there's a need in this country today for more pandemic assistance? more covid response money from the federal government question would you push that in congress? host: it has got to be in a targeted group. who is the most impacted? people over the age of 65. that is the same group, 66 million social security recipients. there has not been an enhancement in 50 years. it will be great if we can come on c-span and talk about it. but if congress actually votes -- something, they are still going to be this disparity of wealth and a disparity of retirees in our country. host: this is rhonda. democrats. guest: you have mentioned that 750 thousand people over 55 have perished with covid. caller: that is money the government is no longer putting out for social security. the funds for social security, are they being used for other means other than socia
