in hamburg, south carolina, 1876. this is where we will end with this one story from a set of inquests. this map i know is probably hard to see. hamburg is right here directly across the savannah river from augustine. here is the savannah river, which is rolling down to the sea here. here is the port of charleston. one of the most important cities in the antebellum south. so hamburg had been settled in 1820 by henry schultz who named , the town after the famous city in his native germany. it became a hub of wagon traffic. pulling cotton from the interior of the south. we do not have railroads yet. most cargo is going by river. 1825, -- the b&o railroad is a famous common carrier. baltimore and ohio railroad. if you look on wikipedia right now it will say it was the longest common carrier in the united states. no everybody forgets about the , hamburg to charleston line. it was the largest 60,000 bales charter railroad and estate. 60,000 bales of cotton's worth $2 million moved through hamburg each year. >> i am guessin

an adventure in practical education which is being felt throughout the state of south carolina, the nation, and the whole world that also is playing a great part in pointing the way to the sound solution of the growing interracial problem. yes, three generations ago this was a typical evening scene on one of the more lonely beaches in the sea islands. souls torn from their native land separated from their families. herded into slave ships for the long voyage to america. disease in the filth of their impossibly crowded quarters often thinning their ranks to half the number before seeing land again. then chained together like wild bests, beaten and driven by hardless overseers. they staggered on to dry land to work long hours in the great sea island cotton plantation that is made these islands famous. women as well as men worked the long hours in the field. but these were stalwart people. this woman, for instance, who wears a cord around her hips to give her strength. in such squalor whole families lived in one room dipped into a common pot with their oyster shell spoons at meal time, bore m

joining us now is south carolina state senator who opposes the legislation. thank you so much foryou. can you tell us why you're against this? >> well, i -- for a myriad of reasons, actually. these are the same proponents. these are the same legislators, rather, who call themselves pro-lifers. they're actually pro-birth, they are pro-death, they are anti-vaxxers, anti-masks, pro-guns, anti-big-government. i mean, the hypocrisy is endless. and i am opposed to this, primarily because, in south carolina, african-americans are disproportionately impacted when it comes to the death penalty. >> yeah, in fact, there's a lot of research, backing that up, as well. 37% of death row inmates are black. despite, only making up 27% of the population. so, if this bill is passed, how could it disproportionately affect black-and-brown communities? >> if it's -- if it does pass, i -- i'm afraid. when i spoke, on the senate floor last week, and questioned some of the proponents of -- of this legislation, none of them had even heard of 14-year-old, george steny jr., who was a so

landmark case of edwards against south carolina. that case resulted from the protest march of almost 200 college and high school students from across south carolina who came to columbia to protest segregation, discrimination and what amounted to apartheid. 192 or 193 of us were arrested, 189 were convicted. but two years later, the supreme court of the united states overturned those convictions in this historic and what we call the landmark case. it was against south carolina, which rendered an end to any state passing laws to subject protest marches to entertain for what they were. tomorrow, i will submit a full statement. thanking those who did so and i thank you for this one-minute. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from washington seek recognition? mr. newhouse: i rise to ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. newhouse: today, i rise to celebrate the 10th anni

is not the same as 15 dollars an hour in greenville, south carolina. i think most can agree, that seven dollars and 25 cents as a wage to a low for even an entry level position. table 301 is a great example of the free enterprise system working. our entry level wages at ten dollars an hour, not the current minimum wage. if the minimum wage goes up from ten to 15 dollars an hour, take our entry level wage of ten dollars an hour. we're now increased 33%. that means that every worker would expect, rightly so, on 33% increase. so take every hundred thousand dollars in payroll that i currently have, and had 33,000 dollars to that, increased implore taxes, increased premiums on works means calm policies, increases and expenses for benefits such as 401(k) contributions, and you have businesses closing than the have been during this pandemic. today, i urge you to abandon this fast-track approach and instead, have a real and honest conversation with small business owners across a broad spectrum to donate to -- devise a responsible wage increase that will provid

he knows what the state of south carolina has done to black farmers. they did not do it to white farmers. we are trying to rescue the lives and livelihoods of people. you ought to be ashamed of yourself. amy: for more on the fight to end discrimination at the usda and restore land to black farmers, we go to virginia, to speak with john boyd, a fourth-generation black farmer and founder and president of the non-profit national black farmers association. john, welcome back to democracy now! can you start off talking about this $5 billion and what it means? give us the history. >> the $5 billion is an historic in nature. thanyou for having me again. and what it is going to do to help black farmers and farme of color a this country. as you know, we have been suffering. the $5 milon calls for debt relief. that would give many black farmers aumpstart that they n get rid of the debt at the united states department of agriculture. there is $1 billion s aside for technical assistance and outrch and really dig down into the core of the discrimination at the unit

carolina, every time i read about this, the low country of south carolina, the low country. define what do south carolinians mean about the low country. tell me something about that district. >> well, my district is largely on the beach. we have a lot of beach towns and beach communities but also we have mashlands. we have beautiful old oak freeze, hundreds of years old and great people, great food and great hospitality and that's the definition of the low country and what we mean by that. clearly like we have so much population growth down there. i was joking earlier that all the tourists that come and visit they never want to leave and it's such a beautiful place and every sunset, every sunrise is just entirely gorgeous, and it's one of the reasons that i'm a conservationist, why i care about conservation issues because i want to retain the beauty of the low country. that's why people visit us. that's why people go and start businesses there and move there or retire, et cetera. it's such a really, really beautiful place. i think it's the most beautiful place in the country

of 1739 and sunday 40 in south carolina. this instituted by africans in the spanish war for example. i think part of the problem is that any of the historians treat the united states is sort of the thing in golf and even though we know for example with regards to jim crow in the 20th century, is everything to do with the rise of national liberation movement in africa and the caribbean in the united states dealings that this will be beaten to the punch by the socialist camp and so therefore that impels washington to make an agonizing retreat from the more egregious aspects of jim crow. so trying to treat the unsafe is sort of a thing in itself. and wrongheaded way of doing history and inevitably names with wrongheaded conclusions for unit in north america for example, you had the dutch for example controlling what is now new york read information in the previous question about how the dutch or early movers with regards to colonialism. an essay the book in some ways, the english were using the duchess as a puppet. they were pu

>> listen, i'm from south carolina. i know a lot about the filibuster from, you know, the record for the longest filibuster was strom thurmond when he was filibustering the civil rights act. we know the fiibuster has been utilized on a number of occasions on issues dealing with race. and particularly suppressing and prohibiting black americans, in particular, from exercising all of their rights as american citizens. we know the sordid history of the filibuster, and it's time we have to address it. so again, i'm going to give senator schumer all of the liberty in the world to do just that. but for mitch mcconnell and anybody else to say that they don't understand the history of the filibuster, they need to go back to history class. >> indeed they do. just to shift gears a bit, jaime, your former opponent, senator lindsey graham was on fox news sunday, and talked about needing his ar-15 in case gangs try to come to his house in the event of a natural dezais zaster in south carolina, have a listen. >> i own an ar-15. if th

right in the harbor of charleston, south carolina. the very epicenter of secession. the confederates ringed the fort with artillery pointed at it from the shore. and it was extremely vulnerable. and lincoln's cabinet recommended that he let it go. just surrender it. but lincoln says, if we exceed to the demand that the south carolina takes over ft. sumpter, that, in effect, means that secession is legal and we can't do that. it's become symbolic, and so lincoln takes a hardline. >> people who are station the at ft. sumpter started to run out of provisions. and so, the question was when they ran out of things to eat, with would the united states government be permitted to bring provisions to the people there? which, obviously, the south carolinians didn't want to do because they saw the united states, now, as an enemy. and so, there's a standoff. >> so, lincoln, eventually, hits on this compromise. he will send relief to ft. sumpter, but only food and medical supplies. no soldiers, no weapons, no ammunition, nothing warlike. >> he notifies the governor of south caroli

your district in south carolina, every time we read about it, it is very rural country. define what south carolinians mead -- south carolinians mean about the low country district? representative mace: my district is largely on the beach, a lot of beach communities, but we have marshlands, beautiful oak trees hundreds of years old, great people, great food, great hospitality. that is a description of the low country. we have so much population growth down there, all the tourists that visit, it is such a beautiful place. and every sunset, every sunrise, a is entirely gorgeous. it is one reason why i am a conservationist, i am a conservationist because i want to retain the beauty of the low country. is why people visit us, start businesses there, go there to retire, etc., it is a really beautiful place. i think it is one of the most beautiful places in the country. mr. clinton: it is gorgeous -- john: it is gorgeous. i had the good fortune of being in charleston last year and i didn't want to leave either. in your district, you one a really close race, maybe not with hundr

she goes deep into the south. never been to the sea islands of south carolina. she arrives there in 1862 with the expectation of becoming a spy and a scout. but of course, it does not happen for her. not immediately. they see her as a black woman. as incapable of doing the work she was actually asked to do. we see her shuttled into other kinds of work. she becomes a nurse in particular for the colored troops. it is her familiarity with herbs and different grasses and roots that allowed her to concoct teas for men who were quite sick when medicine was always in short supply. she has literally holding the hands of dying men, shooing flies away from their blood covered bodies. she is doing the work of nursing, which many other formerly enslaved women did as well. she also begins -- she realizes she has to help those who made it to union lines to find a way to survive. she teaches formerly enslaved women how to become entrepreneurs. she herself -- it takes her domestic skills as a baker and she is baking pies and cakes and she is making root beer at night he is -- a

so coming in second is enough to get me into south carolina. at the time bloomberg is about to get into the race a lot of democrats have given up on biden at that point and elizabeth warren executes a hockey goon takedown of mike bloomberg. can you talk about what was going on behind the scenes in her mind and why she chose to go after bloomberg? like an executioner almost? >> essentially she was thinking come it's also my favorite parts of the birth one - - in the book because we take you in her head she essentially says i could have this discussion and tell him how much i hate michael bloomberg and for the democratic party or i can tell him myself. so she prepares how to essentially go after him and what we do in this book is take you behind the scenes into her thinking and the planning of the debate and what she is thinking in her own head as she completely knocks them out and eviscerating him on stage. that's one of the lucky breaks i think we talk about for joe biden. because essentially she takes out mike bloomberg at a time he was gainin

bronx to south central and rural parts of south carolina along the way. but because the emphasis has been on vaccines, we've turned our backs a bit, we in the media, on testing. there's been a decline in real number of people being tested, you want to put in a good word for thorough testing? >> i do. so we've gone from all-time high of 14 million tests a week to about 10 million. reasons are as you pointed out in the headline complicated. seem to be a combination of the fact that people aren't traveling as much, maybe not testing. but also people not potentially getting exposed because the case numbers are going down. but worrisome thing is potentially we've shifted focus to vaccination. we want to keep investing in testing. keeping the transmission down is how we keep the variants in check. don't give the virus the ability to evolve and replicate. last bit is people getting pandemic fatigue and not testing or staying on top of symptoms. please get tested and continue to get tested so we can keep eye where the disease is moving. >> our big three, thanks f

so tubman's skills that she learned here in dorchester county were very useful in south carolina as well. and everyone knew that. so she was sent down there to help, and to coordinate and to assist the others. this final section of our visitors center, talks about tubman's later life. she bought a home in auburn and she also attended a church and started a home for indigent aged african-americans, she was a suffrageette, fought for women's rights and also has a ship named after her the ss harriet tubman and that's all highlighted here. and this is the final part of the tour. i'd like to highlight that there are stained glass images of dorchester county, and in the summer, winter, and the spring. this image right here shows harriet tubman pointing at the north star, and emancipating a number of people. and some by jacob lawrence. but it also shows the hazards that were there. it shows the snake with the port tongue it shows people carrying food and babies and children and it shows squirrels, and owl, it shows the nature of it, and it is very beautiful and since our building is south-facin

and the got the river 25 miles into the depths of south carolina. they flooded rice fields, they burn plantations and they emancipated 750 to 800 people, which is very significant because in tubman's time, people of course were property. so that was a huge loss for the slaveowners down there. and that's what this is showing. harriet tubman and a roundabout or a smaller boat reaching down to rescue people to their emancipation and it shows women carrying anything that they could carry, a basket, some chickens and children. that's the largest emancipation event in the history of the united states. the quote there says that i pray to god to make me strong and able to fight, and that's what i've always prayed for ever since. and it shows harriet tubman's dedication to the united states. she was indeed a veteran. but it was a massive boon for the union army because about ten days later, 100 to 110 men signed up for the union army. so harriet tubman was a little bit of a rabble rouser, she was complaining that nothing was being done to emancipate people t
