why i founded this venture was because i saw a problem that was emerging in boston as boston is often known as the city of opportunity, but the areas that we really needed to focus on was action. for me, it was creating points or institutions were programs where we could expand the idea of giving more people access to the resources that boston has. i simply purchased a house, and i purchased the house in the roxbury area of boston because boston like any other cities and particularly raw spirit is location to the tech center, to the seaport they did a credible -- could a good neighborhood to focus on because where we would be tech centered and emerging they have an impasse on transportation until it's just at the cusp of the transition of the neighborhood i was able to purchase a house and with that house in using my lens or through the lens of an urban planner i went to do to be more than just a property. i wanted it to have a community center and focus. i wanted it to be of community benefit, so i thought of different ways to make that possible. then i came across for living and whe

within days, other quakers appear in boston. they are beaten, imprisoned, their windows are boarded up and drummers placed beneath their windows so no one can hear them. they are out of boston as quickly as possible, but quickly returned, because the desire to preach, the desire to be martyred is driving them. what we are going to do is look at a year into the crisis in the summer of 1657. that's what touch very closely on the history of this island. salisburyy is in new in the summer of 1657. there is a storm that he is caught in. his clothing is soaked. there are four men standing in front of his house. instead of telling you about it, i will let thomas macy tell you about it. what i'm going to do for the moment is go into 17th-century dialect so you get a sense of what he might have sounded like. in the summer of 1657, he lets these men into his house. the troubles are still besetting him in late october of 1659, right before he leaves for this island with his wife and five children. this is a letter he writes october 27, 165

what you're looking at here is boston, massachusetts. it's under a winter storm warning and getting one to two inches of snow every single hour. we'll have more on this storm momentarily. first, let's dig into the facts on the pandemic this hour. our country has just recorded its highest daily case count and death toll since the start of the coronavirus spread. on wednesday we lost 3,293 americans and we added more than 232,000 new cases. one of those new positive covid cases is u.s. interior secretary david burn hart. he did find out his status before he could attend president trump's first cabinet meeting in 211 days. french president emanuel macron has become the latest world leader to test positive. plus, in just the last couple hours we got a snapshot of the escalating economic toll in our country. 885,000 more americans filed jobless claims just last week, more than initially estimated. for reference, that's about the entire population of south dakota. it's dialing up the urgency for lawmakers to reach a deal on another round of re

within days other quakers appear in boston. they're beaten, imprisoned, and their windows are boarded up. and trumers place -- drummers placed beneath they are windows so no one can hear their preaches. the desire to be marderred is what is driving them. but what we're going to do is look at a year into the crisis in the summer of 1657 and that touches very closely on the history of this island. thomas macy is in new salsbury. that is in the summer of 1657. there is a storm. he is caught in a storm. his clothing is soaked, and there are four men standing in front of his house. instead of telling you about it, i'm going to let thomas macy tell you about it. i'm going to go into 17th century dialect so you can hear what he might have sounded like. in summer of 1657, he lets these four men into his house. the troubles are till besetting him in 1659 right before he leaves for this island with his wife and five churn. 24 is a letter he writes, 1659, two years after the event to the general court. explaining why he's not been able to

boston, it didn't impact boston because we didn't open our businesses to the next phase, so we are watching in the city now, what i am watching is looking at numbers of daily cases, weekly averages, and hospitalizations. and we're seeing daily cases and weekly averages go up, hospitalization has not gone up yet, we are watching that closely on a daily basis. i will make the decision based on public health, not on political pressure. >> are you comfortable with the vaccine distribution plan, and as you answer, tell me what happens when the phone rings, when you bump into somebody that says hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, you know, we've got a surge, get the vaccines to those people. public school teachers. i get nursing homes, police, firefighters, health care workers, what about me. what pressures are you under as you have a limited amount of doses and a lot of people that need help. >> that's the problem. we have a limited amount of doses, 300,000 doses in massachusetts, almost 7 million people in the city of boston. we have 700,000 that live in the city, doesn't include college student

fred: boston was at the forefront of the revolution. what happens to john adams when he has all of these definite ideas and he goes to this loyalist city and has to be mindful that virginia feels like it should be leading everything? how does he win people over? sarah: he does and he doesn't. that is the short story of john adams' legacy. he has a complicated relationship with the american revolution, his role in it and histories that follow out of it. the thing to remember about john adams, like thomas jefferson, they are not here, they are not on american shores. they are in europe securing funding and aid and support and troops. so they come back a decade later to a very changed world to people who are creating a government who they have not seen since the continental congress. a different media landscape we might think of it as. people who are actively thinking through their patronage networks, and what is in it for them? although those office seekers who fled his mail? he gets these letters all the time. i think it is a very compli

in boston. now, you think about this a bunch of super rich people in boston and your middle family income in boston essentially is $247,000 a year. your black family in boston is eight bucks. let me say that again, $8, right? you do not get those types of inequalities unless you have serious institutions pushing things in this direction for many years at a time. bread line, access to credit, unable to access the financial system, policing is just one part of that. so, of course, this is tied into it and the particular form of anger and moral outrage, which i think is utterly justified in the united states today the in the current process. >> you know, in the book, you and eric have a number of very interesting proposals. i guess we'll call it policy proposals for national wealth funds, the dual interest rate. direct transfers to household income. which i think are quite novel and provocative and persuasive in many reexpects, but how is that then played out against what you just said. you know, w

both boston and newport rhode island were significant ports for slavery. there is actually even one slave ship that -- the history is a little bit murky. there is a ship named the elizabeth in the early 1680s. i'm trying to remember which western plymouth colony town it put into. it might have been bristol. so i think in general this is a subject that is getting more attention. one of the things that has tended to make it tricky, especially in terms of native slavery, is the clinic records hardly ever referred to enslaved natives as slaves. they're referred to as servants or sometimes simply as the engine of such and such a settler. and i think that language has really obscured the fact that large numbers of men, women and children were held in bondage. the other thing that i think has been tricky in terms of studying slavery is that native slavery wasn't exactly like chattel slavery much of the time. so not all natives who were held in bondage were necessarily held for life, and it wasn't necessarily an inheritable condition. their children would not nece

there were a lot of papers at the historical society in boston. some correspondence of later plymouth colony figures that was really fun to read. plymouth gets a lot of attention for the mayflower and the thanksgiving story. as i suggested it doesn't get as much attention for the intervening decades. i found tons of what i thought were great stories there. be controversy surrounding the quakers. i found that a fascinating. i didn't know a great deal about the early quakers and just how aggressive they were with their message and how obnoxious they sometimes were. i could hardly understand my people took --. i found -- i found what i thought were fascinating things about 17th-century. i didn't understand. on occasion they were speaking of liberty. there were men who were idled or vagrants or sort of low- level criminals who were sentenced to servitude and lost their actual liberty for a number of years. there is a lot of history that gets lost because of our focus on certain parts of the plymouth colony story. >> i am glad you mentioned that. it go

back in boston on the night of march 25th, 1918 carl was arrested. he wasn't charged with any crime. he was hauled off to a local jail, and a few weeks later he'd be shipped off to a place called fort oglethorp in georgia which was a place that held german prisoners. not necessarily war prisoners. most of these people were germans who lived in the united states. the united states labeled carl a dangerous enemy alien and he would spend the rest of the war in this prison camp in georgia along with several thousand other german aliens, a number of whom were musicians. the book has much more on the carl nook saga including his love affair with a young singer which became public knowledge after his arrest and further inflamed the situation. still more troubling the authorities accused carl nook of espionage. there were a number of allegations against him. he was said to have signaled german vessels at sea from a summer seaside cottage he had on the main coast. there's no credible evidence to support any of these allegations. carl was no spy. he was a fait

at least in the boston area. we don't have waste water collection like this going on in other parts of the state but for portions of the state are quite worrisome. >> would you suggest that other parts of the country that have the opportunity to do testing like this and are not doing it, would you suggest it as a cost effective public health monitoring tool. i feel like the advantage to the data, part of the advantage is that you do not need to be a real expert to understand what it means. once you can get over the giggle factor for the fact we are talking about sewage and measuring it that way. you can understand look what is coming. it feels like just for public awareness, in terms of that sort of a pay off. this is something we ought to be doing more of in this country. >> i agree. there are a number of different projects, municipal and different parts of the country that have been doing this. arizona. university of california, san diego. they used this to try to identify sort of the spots on the campus where

boston? really? is this show about obi wan kanobi or his cousin from southie, ( boston accent ) "look, your helmet's wicked pissah, but these aren't the droids ya lookin' for. now i gotta go park the death star in alderaan and use the force! i'm your father!" that was a perfect boston accent, no letters. maybe the old jedi's been irish this whole time, and the correct spelling of his name is o'biwan! but the boston setting might prove a little challenging, because according to the show's description, the show is set on tatooine, a harsh desert world where farmers toil in the heat of two suns. so the scenery around uncle owen's moisture farm is going to look a little different. i'll tell you this, though, i am excited to hear yoda say this. >> suck, the yankees do. >> stephen: so, the new show is undoubtedly going to have a touch of boston flavor. in fact, we have a sneak preview of the opening credits. jim?
