mural arts philadelphia does. employing 250 artists annually, the city has over 4,000 outdoor murals, earning its reputation as the mural capital of the world. everywhere you go, each one of these murals will tell a different story. what's interesting about this, when i looked at it, i was like, oh, wow, this is philly. it was such an eclectic mixture of the different communities that are here, and i thought that was a great representation. and also the way it's painted, it's almost like it's coming out at you, almost 3d. yeah, it is very life-like. you have your fashion people there. you can see there's different things from jeans, to t-shirts, to shirts, to the cinched waist, and you get more details. you get tailoring. there's a lot you can pull from here. narrator: and further inspiration comes in the form of tiny glistening tiles that comprise philadelphia's magic gardens. this is cool. this is like a stained glass window here, huh? isaiah zagar, who is 82 years old, who constantly adding pieces to what we wi

who is the father of american psychiatry in philadelphia? and some of you may have heard this quote before but i want to continue it to the end as an introduction to my talk here today. adams writes to benjamin rush the history of our revolution will be one continued lie from one end to the other. historians were recorded that benjamin franklin smote the earth was his lightning rod and out sprung george, washington. the very well known quote, but if you keep reading the letter a letter that you can find on founders online the great national archives website, where a lot of my source material comes from adams continues to benjamin rush. if this letter should be preserved and read a hundred years, hence, the reader will say the envy of this john adams could not bear to think of the truth. but this my friend. to be serious is the fate of all ages and nations. no nation can adore more than one man at a time. but upon his death 13 days later. benjamin. franklin was not that man. there's a great chinese saying i love that is without coincidence. t

bad things happen in philadelphia. while you can see someone throwing it your way, we were as prepared for it as we could be. >> any questions from the audience? >> first i'd like to say thank you. thank you. you said earlier ... [inaudible] i think we have to not necessarily ignore those threats or attacks on elections. i know there's only one african-american and in a city like philadelphia, i just want election officials, sometimes i think we speak over our communities and i think some of those attacks are partnering up on a grassroots level . they're doing it door by door and neighborhood by neighborhood . trying to defend our elections. we can really work with the grassroots people, it's the barbershops, it's ththe hair salons. those are people having conversations about that. cki just want to be in that conversation we invite them because a lot of people the barbers are saying what they hear. >> one of the things we're doing is we're finding that a lot of us, we know. after the elections they came to philadelphia

and march on philadelphia so that's plan. again, fairly straightforward but obviously those are two very different plans and it's up to jermaine to coordinate these plans. there's jermaine in the center and he's got how on the left. the problem of course is a tyranny of difference. there's 3000 miles between london and new york and commander-in-chief in new york 3000 miles away. for jermaine and the king was sitting there in london so when you got messages that can take two to three months to go back and forth across the atlantic, it makes it very difficult to coordinate a campaign. especially when you have decision-makers in london and in new york city so that is what leads the major problem trying to courtney these two plans and of course ultimately what happens, we can't get into the details here with the short time we have but ultimately what happens is cross, communications were modeled, misunderstanding should and confusion will take place and basically what happened, they approved the campaign with the understanding on

it really is a steward and a pillar of the philadelphia a black philadelphia community. and i'm glad that you mentioned before for fortin women because that was i mean even into the era even into the far 19th century where we have charlotte horton his granddaughter. so a lot of a lot of important people who did amazing things. so going forward. there's what else are we hoping to discover about james fortin about black revolutionary war soldiers about how what else do we looking to discover and how will that be brought to life here at the museum? um going forward we are working diligently on an upcoming something that we're working on an exhibition on the fortin family it it's just kind it's just amazing how much i've been scaffold in the past few years since i've been here from discovery cards from fortin's work in the galleries to virtual programming. you know gives insight to fortin story. there's just so much to build upon and i'm very excited to incorporate nathan's work. we have other pieces to this play as well that you know, we'll see life one day. so it's just it

philadelphia is a largely a free people during james' early years. he is also very much e seeing people in philadelphia in the position of that as well. this will again undergird the rest ofwi his life in the works that he will do. >> we x have a message from a dissenter his saying thank you, nay for that heartfelt performance. that makes him extremely proud to be a direct descendent of james forten. very cool. it's just amazing. could you talk about the importance in the power of genealogy in your work? >> it is what we use it gives us that map. it is so much more than a family tree. talk about timelines that you can put certain dates up against what else is going on locally, statewide, and nationally to put things into context. also just sick more people decide to breakak off. there's so many important components to it. but to take that skyview and how long their family has been here in philadelphia. going back to the pen and the founding of the city. this was a space context for the family originated and where it is today and where we are here. >>

that is why i did a lot of research in philadelphia. yes, there are the names of some of the troops in the philadelphia area. recently on book tv author interview program, afterwards. i'm minister of australia kevin rand shared his thoughts on how the u.s. and china can so exist and avoid war in the future. >> political leaders have agency, they have the ability to make decisions which actually change the course of history. if it weren't for mae or nixon. it wasn't for kissinger, guess what? the last 50 years would've been radically different! if it wasn't for reagan, it wasn't for gorbachev, what would've happened in terms of u.s. russia relations or the soviet relations back then? political leaders have agency. the book seems to do is if you think that we are just on railroad tracks determined by some big alien force, that we cannot do anything about this is what the crisis conference in war can look like in the political terms here is a framework which is not just for the united states but i would argue a joint strategic framework be
