washington. he talks about washington's early years at tuskegee university and looked at his ideological platform which encouraged african-americans to establish their own economic base while washington helped create many institutions for african-americans such as the national negro business league, he also had opposition to his ideas, both during his lifetime and since. fontenot also compared ideas and tactics of booker t. washington and mgartin luther king jr. >> i made a statement in class that many of you disagreed with when i said that booker t. washington was the most important and the most influential african-american leader until the election of president barack obama. he is even more significant in some ways because booker t. washington was never elected to a public office. barack obama president barack obama, is elected president of the united states and he is not a black leader. he is a leader of the free world and also the leader, of course, of our country. so when we look at african-

washington washington. so in that respect, yes, washington did lay groundwork that later on other organizations that came legacy. also marcus gar vee claimed direct lineage. but in terms of the select yule and social activism, he saw himself inheriting a legacy of booker t. washington. he admired him. he thought he was the greatest man alive. he carried with him everywhere he went a copy ofb slavery. and came to work with booker t. washington. by the time he got here, washington was dead. so he said okay washington is this race thing and folks said the man now is dubois. they were turned off by dubois. you can understand how a person can get turned off. he was a brilliant man but not all that great socially.8z" good hair and all that and in jamaica those people are a problem. but they started the improvement association. and claimed lineage to booker t. washington. later on the nation of islam..p7Ñ that's the movement. it comes straight out of booker twa that we refer to as black nationalism. and the probl

washington was a liminal space. i doubt the women could have freely written about native men in this way in the west. in the 19th century. it would have been more threatening. because there was a perception even at the time that there wasn't a huge native presence in the city or that any native presence in the city was a transient temporary presence allowed this to be more okay. it was less an affront to racial order. more excited to look at those and find more examples of oh those stories. >> when your work here is concluded what do you hope to do with the findings? >> this is a book project. i published my first book with the university of north carolina press. i'm hoping to work with the press again on this bookment there is an amazing visual element to the project as well. also a part of the project that's about movement a movement of people. so in addition to the standard monograph which will focus on washington, d.c. and not only will the native people be the main characters. but the city itself will be a main

washington established. one thing they would do is to not only promote the development of black businesses, but they would also help black businesses along. sod one so one started a grocery store or clothing store or any kind of business farming equipment, et cetera cetera, one could get aid and help from the national negro business league. so he put that together. after the publication of up from slavey in 1901, in fact, won him the claim nationally and internationally such that booker t. washington, in fact, became not only the most significant, the most powerful and well noun african-american leader in america, but also he became internationally famous. and internationally known. this was during an era where there was no twitter. there was no cable. there was no facebook. no cell phones none of that. word about someone's success and celebrity status travel pry primarily through the newspapers and also word of mouth and also books and other print materials and booker t. washington, in fact was invited to d

jefferson and washington would have these conversations about what washington should look like. should it be made out of brick? that's jefferson, much more humble republican. should it be marvel and granite? that was george washington because it's going to last the ages. washington points out to jefferson, i am president. and therefore we have a city of marble and granite, et cetera. this house designed thornton. juan little anecdote about thornton. he becomes an american citizen. 1812. citizens are building the public building, not the private building and they're going to burn the patent office. the first director of the patent office is dr. thornton. as british are coming up with their torches and ready to burn this, he had gotten the papers out but couldn't get the models back. thornton comes out of the shadows and says take me to your commanding office. they take him to his commanding officer. he says to the commanding officer, and you will be that at this point, if the british burn this down, you will have the same reputation of the turks that burned down the library of al

george washington as a man of wise judgment. but george washington is a man. like every man, he screws up from time to time and makes bad judgments. he made an horrendous this judgment when he decided to take an addict arnold and give him command of the city of philadelphia after general howe's army withdrew in 1778. one historian exaggerates but makes the point when he said, "had washington deliberately planned to crucify arnold, he could not have treated him more cruelly." to put this man with his condition in this situation sets the stage for trouble. you have got to remember benedict arnold is extremely embittered by what happens in the aftermath of saratoga where horatio gates gets all the credit he feels he deserves. from his perspective, he sacrificed virtually his life to the cause. one of many quotes from arnold. having made every sacrifice of fortune and blood to become a cripple in the services of my country -- he is disillusioned with republican government. it seems, from his perspective, it is run by a group of shortsighted and corrupt officials.

once again, live from washington, moderator gwen ifill. gwen: good evening we'd been expecting the senate intelligence report on torture for months. it was clear there would be some bombshells and many suggested releasing the details of c.i.a. interrogation tactics would do more harm than good. but now it's out there and we know wartime detainees were deprived of sleep, slammed against the wall, waterboarded and subjected to enemas. >> the documentation and the finding's inclusions will make clear how this program was morally, legally, and administratively misguided, and that this nation should never again engage in these tactics. gwen: the report, endorsed by only the democrats on the committee, was as grisly as it was revealing, with the nation's political fault lines again on full display. one dispute, whether the harsh tactics yielded anything. c.i.a. director john brennan said yes. >> the detention and interrogation program produced useful intelligence that helped the united states thwart attack plans, capture terrorists, and save liv

that "the washington post" article decided, willfully decided not to include. i can't say for sure what sort of body gesture. i cannot fully recall. that is how witness number 10 began his description, but you would never know that by reading "the washington post" article. as i said in last week in real courtroom, witnesses who begin answers with i can't say for sure and then say i cannot fully recall, and then say i'm not sure twice within the body of that answer do not survive real cross-examination in real courtrooms. answers that begin with i can't say for sure and i can't fully recall are of very little value in real courtrooms. and that sentence, i can't say for sure, i cannot fully recall, was of very little value to an article that claims witness number 10 proves that darren wilson had to shoot. so the article just excluded that sentence because it was painfully inconvenient to the unsupported theorizing in the article. t"the washington post" article says witness 10 was a neutral observer who saw all the same things that officer wilson saw, albeit from

washington, d.c. washington, d.c. funneled billions of dollars in aid money and military aid to the pakistani government. what's the leverage here in washington? >> well, the problem with washington's policy is that washington is unable to use whatever level it has and does not understand what leverage it does have. the important thing is that pakistan does not want to be isolated and those in pakistan who think that embracing some jihadis by fighting others is a good thing. they will only respond to greater international pressure and the prospect of isolation, this gives pakistanis a realization that what's happening in their country needs to be addressed. what washington and others around the world can do is reassure pakistanis that if they make change of policy, the world will stand behind pakistan. >> thank you so much for coming in. other news from around the world. a body found in pennsylvania has been identified as the suspect in a shooting spree for six murders. it was found in a wooded area n

welcoming us, robert costa of "the washington post," and malik ka henderson of "the washington post." after a miserable 2014, here's a question to consider this sunday morning. does president obama have an opportunity to end the year on a high note or at least on more stable political ground? yes, there's one more big democratic loss, the louisiana senate runoff. we know republicans will have 54 seats, up from 45, when the new congress convenes next month. but, gas prices are down. friday's job numbers were robust. the president's executive actions on immigration are stoking the republican civil war and has promised to narrow the gap between trust deficit. >> beyond the specific issue that has to be addressed, making sure people have confidence, that police and law enforcement and prosecutors are serving everybody equally, there's a larger question of restoring common purpose. >> to that question, he had a miserable year. 2014 will be a year he hopes to forget. as it ends and people start to think about a republican congress, you see even in the polls people say they want them to get

." >>> and now to washington. it appears president obama will name ashton carter as his new defense secretary. the biggest challenges, isis and getting along with the president's inner circle. tracie potts live in washington. what are you hearing about the today's announcement? >> reporter: it's likely to be today and based on ashton carter, a name you may not recognize. very much a washington insider. everyone at the pentagon knows him, been there for years and someone that the white house believes can handle all of these issues our military is now facing. isis, afghanistan, ebola, sexual assault. the military's got a full plate. >> the next two years is anot r another -- another zone, i think, of kinds of challenges for this country. and leaders have to be wise enough to know that. >> reporter: defense secretary chuck hagel is out, and there are strong indications his former deputy ashton carter will be named today at haigelgu hage replacement. the white house won't confirm but praised carter earlier this week.

from "the washington post." that is a little bit from "the washington post." you probably saw the live tweeting that she was doing yesterday while john brennan was speaking. vincent is in new hampshire. thank you for giving me this opportunity. i would like to address some of the earlier calls. was a skew ine facts. we seem to be switching topics back and forth. this happened post-9/11. time, we had a huge threat to our national security. we were very naive at the time. official in was washington was trying so hard to make sure something like this would not happen again. -- this was a mistake that we made. we had good intentions. this is part of our history that we are not going to do again. it is controversial. that theo remember toentions were not made belittle us. it was made to instill fear. was it the best method? no. i think we got your point. this is dale in memphis. want you to know that i understand the mechanics of what went on and the reasoning why it went on. , i think wetime went overboard. i think we try to teach our kids about not being over the

washington was a liminal space. i doubt the women could have freely written about native men in this way in the west. in the 19th century. it would have been more threatening. because there was a perception even at the time that there wasn't a huge native presence in the city or that any native presence in the city was a transient temporary presence allowed this to be more okay. it was less an affront to racial order. more excited to look at those and find more examples of oh those stories. >> when your work here is concluded what do you hope to do with the findings? >> this is a book project. i published my first book with the university of north carolina press. i'm hoping to work with the press again on this bookment there is an amazing visual element to the project as well. also a part of the project that's about movement a movement of people. so in addition to the standard monograph which will focus on washington, d.c. and not only will the native people be the main characters. but the city itself will be a main

glenn beck cherishes the founding fathers like george washington in part as he sees george washington as a defender of jewish americans and their right to their religious freedom, and that defending their religion is also about defending their bodies to practice that religion. finally, it's clear that bodies loom large in barack obama's political and personal imagination. his father's absent body, the bodies of dead children, of abortion protesters, the bodies of religious communities, they animate the audacity of hope and other key obama writings and speeches. obama, danforth and beck disagree profoundly on the abstract notion of whether the nation is religious or christian or what that even means. but where they agree, we where we could begin and what we may take from the petitions of the 1770's, it's not just that everybody has a body to invoke martin luther king jr., but that everybody is part of an connected to other bodies. when we think of body second and abstracted ideologies first, we run the risk of putting intangibles before tangibles nonexistence before existence. that was

i don't want to comment on washington, d.c. i want to be in a position to be critical, not understanding the full cultural and essence of what's going on down there. i would implore the washington police department that they knead to utilize as much restatement as they can. they need to be sympathetic to the protesters. but it comes to a point when, if they're breaking the law and if the breaking of that law goes into a dangerous situation, certain action has to be taken. from what i'm seeing now,'9" does not appear that that is happening. so i would certainly implore support for the local police to have that support, have that restraint, but certainly to see whether or not it continues, can it evolve into a situation where lives can be lost. >> these people are lying on the streets, traffic is not going to move on this street over there outside verizon center. if this were to happen outside madison square garden and people couldn't get to a knicks game and you were a cop in new york city, and you used to be the number three co

. >>> from philadelphia to washington, d.c. and california protesters fresh off demonstrations over the ferguson grand jury decision were out in full force. just moments after the grand jury's decision was announced the police officer seen putting garner in a chokehold released the following statement. officer daniel pantaleo says quote i became a police officer to help people and to protect those who can't protect themselves. it's never my intention to harm anyone and i feel very bad about the death of mr. garner. my family and i include him and his family in our prayers and i hope they accept my personal condolences for their loss. garner's wife said she doesn't accept his condolences. >> it just tore me up. i couldn't see how a grand jury could vote and say that there was no probable cause. what were they looking at? were they looking at the same video that the rest of the world was looking at? >> charpton who also heads the national action network is planning a march on saturday a week from this saturday. >> how many people

"the washington post" is very critical of this grand jury decision in its editorial today. it said that justice is stifled today. it points out that things are very different between the ferguson case and this case in new york. in ferguson case, at least there were conflicting witness accounts that could explain why the court decided not to indict the police officer. but in this eric garner case things are very different because the incident was caught on tape. so we can all they witness, if you will, to what happened. "the washington post" points out that if you watch this disturbing video you can see that eric garner was not actively gently. he was unarmed overweight, -- was not actively gently. he was unarmed, overweight, and the illegal chokehold the police officer used against him was clearly visible. and you can hear him say 11 times "i can't breathe." the editorial wonders what exactly was this rancheria thinking and really hopes the court proceedings will be made public one day soon. speaking with up with the washington post," i pulled that a cartoon that is critica
