i know more about philadelphia than washington. one of the things marshall did was in a sense a supervisor of the building of washington d.c. as down the secretary of state doing whatever he was doing it adam says it's too hot here and going to quincy it's your job. so it's possible that marshall was a first person to sleep in the white house because he did sort of bunk in their while who supervising. i don't if it's for sure he supervised the building of the capitol and the white house, but he had to get it done before his family could move in. >> we've got time for two more questions on the one coming in now were some of the founding fathers and important people of that time that marshall was closest to and agreed with most? talked a lot about that. but who do you see as the men he was closest to and who he aligned with ideologically? >> certainly adams. more important to note just like you know your enemies, there are three ways jefferson did not like it. you mention this the thing or antagonists. they would have been in our all

welcome to the library of philadelphia online. my name is marjorie and i'm the daughter of the late alex whom this has been named. this evening's program is made possible only with the support of caring individuals like you. we hope you will consider making a gift whenever you are able and helping the free library advance literacy learning and inspire curiosity for all philadelphians. it is my sincere privilege to introduce kate this evening a noted professor of history at northwestern university with areas of interest and expertise in the united states in the 19th century with a primary focus. america's first civil rights movement from the revolution to the reconstruction is a groundbreaking history of the movement for equal rights that courageously battled racist laws and institutions, northern and southern and in the decades before the civil war, the antebellum movement that you describe lays the foundation for racial justice traditions that remain vital to this day. publishers weekly has noted to tell this story that brings ou

but when i was young, i mean, i grew up outside of philadelphia. it was a big history buff, and he took me into philadelphia and i must have been an independent -- john adams was, and so i had this odd ball history. the first book that i remember getting thing called fact about the president. this money ball for president thing, and you know, tell me that whenever james rose mother died or -- or what calvin coolidge favorite past times were which was indian clbs but in any case -- and then he bought me figurines of presidents. wasn't a president but sort of little bits of history that accumulated in my brain, and the way i look at history which was a little i would say that's what i can bring to the study of john marshall is not the facts because my god there's plenty of facts out there it is just -- thinking about different things about american history and that's what i love about it. and -- one marshall wrote -- after i had done beau canon, and i film to speak about beau canon because imho knows there isn't another expert out there i suppose. bu

amy: philadelphia city councilperson jamie gauthier, who was responsible for issuing the apology for the move bombing, also spoke at the protest wednesday outside the university of pennsylvania. >> the university of pennsylvania has apologized for its role in this situation, but an apology is not enough. saying it won't happen again is not enough. [applause] the damage is already done and now everyone involved needs to be held accountable for their actions. [applause] the africa family is out a full explanation of what happened by the university and the city of philadelphia betrays for the remains without consent. in the family is also owed some form of restitution to compensate for this egregious act. amy: this week, the university of pennsylvania museum of archaeology and anthropology known as the penn museum apologized via twitter, saying -- "we understand the importance of reuniting the remains with the family and we are working now to find a respectful, consultative resolution." princeton university president christopher eisgruber issued a statement that he is "concerned" over r

it's wonderful to be in this great city of philadelphia. and i'm i apologize that that rick wasn't able to join us this evening. he had a little bit of an emergency and he's in italy, but i hope that you'll enjoy the preview of our film that he sent along. so i'm going to talk. i'm sure many of you have seen the green book movie. and i'm going to talk this evening really about something a broader story and that story is about the automobile and the role that the automobile played in african-american life. i'd like you all to think about. how important your mobility is to you how important is it that you're able to travel where you want to when you want to how important is that to american liberty? the ability to travel freely is something that all of us in this room take for granted, but if you think about the role that liberty that that mobility played for african americans for very much of american history african americans were prohibited from traveling freely. travel and the idea of journey is central to the african-american experience.

this is the philadelphia mutiny, june 20th of 1783. just weeks later a group of several hundred unpaid this ronald veterans march on philadelphia to the building. we know today is constitution hall the pennsylvania assembly and some of our nation's elected officials are inside the building. it is surrounded by angry unpaid mutineers. citizens of philadelphia come pouring out a tavern's drunk and now you have a drunken unruly mob and angry unpaid soldiers. they're ready to take legislators hostage. congress is worried in the pennsylvania assembly is worried that they have to flee for their lives. they asked george washington to put down this mutiny. washington tells the mutineers go home. just go home. he pardons people and that for a second time. he brilliantly handles a near mutiny by this time washington realizes this new experiment in popular government is going to be very difficult to run next slide. washington starts to put together a vision a dream if you will for what kind of nation we need to have so the war ends at fall of 178

in the philadelphia newspaper. it pointed out that css would not place foster children in a nontraditional families. no one had complained. and there were plenty of service providers who in fact gladly place children and nontraditional homes including the homes of same-sex partners, same sets couples. but that one article, here's the culture war, prompted the city council and the other city officials of philadelphia to say we are going to condemn bigotry. and so we yanked the license. there are hundreds of children in philadelphia who need to be placed yet css has been sidelined. you could no longer provide the services. so happily, the firemen have rushed to the archdiocese of philadelphia. the case was argued one of the early cases, i do not argue it went very well. i don't think we can convince. but i am maybe even i'm hopeful there's a moderate opinion with that middle ground and his question. it seems to be extreme you yank their license? that's the tenor of his questions and likewise somewhere in between. so

so happily the firemen have rushed to the rescue of csf, the archdiocese of philadelphia. the case was one of the early cases in november. i thought the argument went very well. i am prayerful that it will be the supermajority of 7-2. i don't think justice sotomayor but i'm hopeful there'll be a moderate opinion of justice breyer who is struggling for some kind of middle ground. it seems to him extreme to gang their license? justice kagan likewise seemed to be somewhere in between so i think we will win but there's nick sample of the city government stepping in and saying we are going to take the side of one community in the culture wars. >> ken is it a sign of the cultural change and the growing hostility of religion? it isn't just a balancing of a couple of things. as you say these people are -- so this is more would you worry that this is more of a national movement rather than an outcropping of the case in philadelphia? >> i think the case is a parable and a manifestation of the national movement heard religious belief and practice is frequently evil because you are de

philadelphia. my name is andy kahan director of author events. i do have one unfortunate update to our program rick burns will not participate in our discussion this evening due to a work-related trip. however, the good news is that you are going to see a sneak preview of his new documentary, which will be aired on pbs later this year. and which is based on 10 years of research by our guest. a curator with more than 30 years experience dr. gretchen sorin has consulted for more than 250 institutions including the smithsonian the jewish museum and the new york state historical association. she is the director of the cooperstown graduate program of the state university of new york and the author of in the spirit of martin the living legacy of dr. martin luther king jr. and through the eyes of others african-american and identity in american art. in her new book driving while black just out today professor soren tells the story of the indispensable green book, which both reshaped the african-american traveling experience throughout our segregated lan

philadelphia, new york, one of the capitol back. the rebuilding began in part because dolley lead the rallying cry for washington d.c., and she quickly reestablished the social convenience. and by the fall of 1814, she's already in the drawing rooms now in the octagon house, which is their temporary residence. she's the one who actually announces that the treaty of good and has been signed, and signals the end of mr. madison 's war. today we expect the first lady to champion particular causes. we had roslyn carter and mental health, nancy reagan, just say no, barbara bush and literacy, michelle obama and childhood b city. but that was not an expectation in her time. the women organizing to create change was very novel. so, again kim dolley is a trendsetter, which is rife of the secretary of state, she's interested in the lewis and clark expedition. she knows they're not adequately provisions, so she gets all of the other ladies of the cabinet together, money together, and help outfit this -- this is sad for her, because she's fairly

i will spend a little time introducing the work we are doing in philadelphia. a quick slide show but open for a lot of questions when i get through this. i want to introduce everyone to our green city clean water programming. it is a very public friendly name that we have put forward for the city of philadelphia long-term control plan combined sewer overflow mitigation. it is word de. we prefer green city clean waters. you hear us say in the wrong order a lot of times. i might do it during this presentation. it is about meeting water quality main dates in philadelphia with addressing combined sewer overflows. it is a 25 year program. the mandate really calls for us to be managing 10,000 --rupoff from 10,000 acres in philadelphia through green practices 85% overflow reduction. >> what is unique is in philadelphia we have to make every dollar stretch. we felt like the funding we were going to be committing to addressing our combined sewer program really could not be buried. as much as a tanker and tunnel might have gotten us to the compliance we wanted to make su

philadelphia, new york, wanted the capitol back. the rebuilding began, in part, because dolley led the rallying cry for washington, d.c. by the fall of 1814, she's already in the drawing rooms, now in the octagon house, which is their temporary residence. she's the one who actually announces that the treaty of gent has been signed and signals the end of mr. madison's war. you know, today we expect a first lady to champion particular causes. we had ross lynn carter in mental health. nancy reagan, just say no to drugs. barbara bush and childhood literacy. but that was not an expectation in dolley's time. the idea of women organizing to create change was very, very novel. so, again, dolley is a trendsetter. when she's wife and secretary of state, she's very interested in the lewis and clark expedition. she knows they're not adequately provisioned so she gets all of the other ladies of the cabinet to gather money together and help outfit this. this is sad for her because she's fairly convinced they will never come back. when they do, sh

things like the arts of philadelphia program. these are essential. talk about identity. how do we self determine our lives to make our identity? to say there is a moral obligation. it isn't just entertainment. it is part of the therapy. granted, the one thing i try to make clear in my writing in my book it's not that care versus cure but we can advance good therapies. if you go to a cancer center they prescribe powerful therapies that make available non- biomedical -based therapies so they can live and cope with their cancer. we should have the same attitude with dementia. host: some of that is still controversial like the complement tree services. you talk about adult daycare they are presented this is how we give relief to caregivers. but the person with the disease seems rhetorically in second place why those services. >> spoiler alert if you read the book so to come away with a whole new perspective and let the readers come with a whole new appreciation. >> but the flipside of that that the's therapist are healing but how supported are they? how does the pen memory c

wife conducted a survey which became the philadelphia negro. when he was at wilberforce university, he asked to teach a sociology course and was refused. so he left. then he accepted a position at atlantic university in sociology he studied the education and occupation of southern blacks. in other words, this school is one that centers race in the analysis rather than classes. he stated -- estate at atlanta for 13 years and then became president of the naacp. he has a list of publications that is extensive. it is overwhelming. perhaps he is best known for the philadelphia net grow, more likely "the souls of black folk." he has a changing voice over time, first taking a detached and scientific stance in "the philadelphia negro." then his tone gets increasingly subjective. in "dark water" he minces no words and is passionate and finally speaking truth to power. it was not well received. in "the souls of black folk" he writes about double consciousness. he writes "it is a particular sensation, this sense of always looking at oneself to the eyes of

and i want to say it was in philadelphia. but i want to know how the person who had that hidden behind the wall got those things, those very important things and why they had them. >> okay, sherry, thanks so much for all the detail. >> and i'll just answer it quickly because i want to say that this is happening in the 1950s and '60s, so not that long ago. and the story of how the ladies of greensboro historical society found and financed this collection deserves a television program of its own. >> is that right? >> yes. it was very fascinating. it really was hidden behind a wall. they raised money i think in a way that dolley would approve one chicken dinner at a time to pay the princely sum of $20,000 to get this valuable stuff. >> and is greensboro, north carolina, close to where she was born? >> they wanted to save this legacy rather than having it be scattered to the winds. and you can go there now and see parts of that. >> so dolley madison returns to washington after the death of her beloved james. how does she spend he

chicago, washington, dc, baltimore, and right here in philadelphia. we are invested -- investing in our infrastructure. we are making strides up and down the northeast corridor and projects like our gateway program and the baltimore potomac tunnel. planned infrastructure projects will improve quality, and offer greater reliability. all of these projects and investments in our future but they're also investment in our planet. amtrak provides a more sustainable mode of travel and demands of rail travel will continue to grow. in fact, traveling on amtrak emits 83% fewer gatt -- green -- greenhouse emissions. we have a truly dedicated workforce that carries on the legacy of the railroaders preserved before them and who take great pride in connecting america. it is because of our employees that amtrak serves a vital role in the countries mobility started. we continue to see their conservations play out in real time as we navigate through the pandemic. when the world stopped in many ways, due to the still -- spread of the coronavirus. our employees made sur

in philadelphia, which we're all so institutions in philadelphia, which was at that time the center of the american scientific enterprise james madison really wanted to see a botanic garden on federal property and he was instrumental in the late 18 teens in having congress charter the existence of the first us botanic garden. it was actually built in bricks and mortar as a small institution on the block where we currently stand in 1820. however, it was not at that time funded by taxpayer money, and so it existed for a little while. and so there was a us botanic garden or the first version of a us botanic garden from about 1820 until the late 1830s when the colombian society began to peter out and then there was a bit of a gap and the story for the us botanic garden resumes in 1838. and that's a really fascinating history beginning in 1838. congress is getting interested in naval exploration and very much buoyed by the success the overland success of the lewis and clark expedition just a few years earlier congress feels that the country is ready to send out in armada or at least a small

he also left for philadelphia early from new york. in fact, he was the first out of state delegate there. that meant he could greet the other delegates as they arrived and in particular the delegates from virginia. because madison was there early he brought them all together and altogether. they produced the virginia plan which as you all know set the agenda for the constitutional convention. during the convention madison was one of the delegates who spoke most often. and he made crucial critical interventions when the convention was about to write into the constitution. that congress had the power quote to make war. madison stood up and successfully changed it. to declare war thus making the president commander-in-chief. now if you think about it. we would have not ever done so well. i'm sorry -- to mention this but if all the congressmen were in charge of our war of war it would not have been successful. so this was a really important intervention. while he's speaking and understanding how important it is to get the words just right

one is at the national constitution center in philadelphia. the very first amendment proposed by congress isn't the one involving freedom of speech. it said resolve there should be one representative of congress for every 30,000 inhabitants. if that amendment had passed there would be 6,000 representatives in congress today, which is about the same size interestingly of the athenian assembly that the founders believed to have degenerated into demagogues and is also the size of the chinese national congress today. the reason they were so concerned about the size of apportionment is because they wanted enough representatives to be responsive to their constituents but not so much the size of the assembly would become unwieldy and degenerate into demagogues. and hear their cautionary tale is cleon in athens who seduced the assembly into invading sparta and causing the peloponnesian war. subsequent scholarship has suggested that aristotle and plato and anti-democrats and that athenian democracy was more effective in producing economic stability and
