the state library in springfield. so i got a chance to see of beautiful library and then i learned to read myself and then that was it. well now according to several sources. there is a book called bright april which inspired your love of reading. what is that? it reinforced my love of reading because it was a book. i saw it when i was about eight or nine and it was the first time i saw myself in a book. it's about a little girl african-american girl who was a brownie. i was a brownie and her family had a piano in the living room and just reminded me so much of of myself. she had two pigtails. and so did i and i just love that book and knew that books. i love them so much because they gave me windows to the world and took me places that i couldn't imagine but when i saw that book i saw myself too. so it was a mirror and that just cemented my love of reading. and at what point did you decide to give libraries a chance? well i always love libraries because they were full of the things that i love books and when i was gr

a fellow in springfield had been beating his wife. lincoln and his friends told him to stop it, he didn't stop it. so they went and hauled him out and gave his wife a belt and said, lay into him. i think lincoln was by temperament a fair minded man who sympathized with the notions of feminism. and then as for black women, during the war a question arose whether widows of black soldiers, the women who had been in effect wives of black soldiers, should get a pension even if they hadn't been formally married. and lincoln said yes, yes they should be given some. so he did sympathize with black women in that particular context. i think in general he was sympathetic to the ideas and ideals enunciated at seneca falls. >> thank you very much, indeed for that. noah feldman, several questions about the constitutional arguments against secession and whether or not lincoln was correct to argue that it was unconstitutional. and your closing thoughts well? >> thank you. you now, the articles of confederation said that the union was perpetual. the c

. >> springfield is the state capital. we have about 115,000 people who live here. >> springfield's very much a hometown, if you will. people here generally know each other. >> mark and donnah both were well respected. they had good jobs. they lived, i would say, an upper middle-class existence. nothing stood out. >> mark and donnah had a very nice married life. he was a nuclear engineer. >> donnah winger was a technician at memorial medical center. >> donnah was the oldest of the three girls. >> she was outgoing. she loved life. >> she lit up a room the moment she walked in. >> donnah always said what was in her heart and in her mind. she didn't mess around. >> mark's brother set donnah and mark up on a blind date. and things moved pretty quickly. >> he was smart, jewish. he was attractive, and he was fun. she just felt like she had found her person. >> he was good to her. and as a mother, that's all that i would care about. >> he came from a very nice family, and what more can you ask for? >> he was quiet, but he had a f

let's focus on lincoln's interaction with black people both in springfield and in washington, but the title of the book comes from a eulogy that frederick douglass delivered on june 1st 1865 in cooper union the premiere site in the country to give up major speech. and it was covered widely in the new york press, but it's been on accountably ignored by historians and anthologists of douglas's speeches. and in this remarkable speech he says abraham lincoln was preeminently the white man's president the first to rise above the prejudices of his time and his country by inviting me frederick douglass to the white house to consult on public affairs. lincoln was saying by that gesture that i am the president of the black people as well as the white and i mean to honor their rights as men and citizens. and it's a striking contrast to the speech. that is very well. known widely anthologized and commented on regularly and that is a speech he gave 11 years later. at the dedication of a statue the emancipation memorial in washington in which he said abraham lincoln was preeminently the white man'

home in springfield. we walked in and there were about 25 people ready to have tea with candidate ambassador george bush. there's a sign on the mantle over the fireplace that said, welcome, george bush. and it was spelled b us c h, like anheuser bush. so, he had come a long way. he was an asterisk in the polls. when i tell you that asterisks made a huge difference for america, and it even made a greater difference for the rest of the world. because he actually did more to introduce transformation than any other president in our history when it came to inviting people to the responsibilities of governing. yes, with the opportunities that comes through democracy, but he actually made many bad leaders better leaders because of how he led. around the world. and so, that's what transformed the world and we are very grateful of his service. but jane flutes chapter about brent scowcroft organizing the national security council is a must read because it talks about the partnership that existed, even inside the wh

there was an event, he was speaking at an event in springfield, connecticut, hartfield, connecticut and i got a call from james beckett iii who was part of the campaign and said ambassador bush is speaking at an event in hartford, connecticut, 45 minutes away from springfield, massachusetts. put together a key or something for ambassador bush, i didn't know a lot of people in springfield massachusetts but i call a friend who did know people there and they gave me someone at 2:00 in the afternoon and i drove out to see where this house was and meet the people and all that kind of stuff and the next day was the day of the event and i picked up ambassador bush, we arrived at this home in springfield, locked in, 25 people ready to have the with ambassador george bush, there was a sign on the mantle over the fireplace that said welcome george bush. it was billed busch. i tell you that made a huge difference for america. he actually did more to introduce transformation than any other president in our history when it came to inviting people to the responsibilities of governing. he made bandlea

diana's -- the -- in springfield of 1838. lincoln was actively defending the constitution, lincoln statement there that we should be aware of people like alexander the great or ceasar, or like napoleon who in their seeking of greatness would be willing to enslaved freeman, or to free and slave people. that is an act that would be extraordinary and outside of the bounds of constitutional norms, which be wrongful. he would be clearly against this! that is because the constitution and that then existed legally mandated the continued existence of slavery in those states that chose to have slavery. that's lincoln's view. once he becomes president he confronts the reality that there have been succession by at least 7 states. he has to decide what to do about that. of course that secession is a fundamental breaking of the constitution. lincoln responded by himself breaking the constitution which i argue in three ways. i will mention each very briefly. the first is sort of surprising. we don't necessarily think of it is breaking the

in the white among the white house staff and so lincoln brought some people with him from springfield who were darker who had darker complexion and he brought them a cert to be servants in the white house. they'd been working for him in various ways in springfield and the lighter skinned white house staff was not open to working with them and so in some cases lincoln had to help find them employment elsewhere and found them employment in the treasury department. so there was a very real issue when it came to the white house staff, but i don't know how they responded to these visitors. right and part of it is a lot of what we know about the perspective of the white house staff comes from their children's recollections. so i there are survive. they're surviving testimony of the son of a waiter who worked at the white house that i was able to use their surviving testimony from william slade's daughter that survives and there's of course records from slade himself, but a lot of what we know comes from the white house staff children, and i didn't find any commentary on that particular issu
