S. President donald trump has canceled a state visit to denmark and accused his Prime Minister met a frederickson of being nasty and not nice. Idea of fine greenland demanded more respect states adding that his offer to purchase. Was just and i did as a population of just 58000 people in an area larger than mexico. Denmark i look forward to going but i thought the Prime Ministers statement that it was absurd that was it was absurd idea was what it was inappropriate statement all she had to do is say no we wouldnt be addressed that. Was meant to be next month the danish Prime Minister says shes disappointed hes no longer coming. It is with regrets and surprise that i received the news that President Trump has cancelled his state visit to denmark on the 2nd and 3rd of september ive been looking forward to the visit our preparations were well underway at discussion has however been very gracious about a potential sale of greenland this has clearly been rejected by can keep us in a position that i share of course. This does not change the character of our good relations thats going to have to White House Correspondent can really help it can be given trumps track record is almost an irony in him asking for more respect to be shown in the. Yes absolutely because well he commands loyalty and respect he rarely showers that those that he demands it from so yes there is some irony in all of this its very clear that the u. S. President we know has a very thin skin did not like this public humiliation this public criticism and the danish leader is right there is despite this diplomatic spat a strong Strategic Partnership security arrangement relationship that is valued by both the United States and denmark but the problem in all of this is that those discussions that were scheduled for september 2nd and 3rd are now not happening because the u. S. President essentially got his feelings hurt so this is not surprising given Donald Trumps character nor is for that matter the suggestion by donald trump that he try and buy greenland given the fact that hes always kind of taken a transactional approach to diplomacy being a former Real Estate Developer weve not only seen him with the suggestion of trying to buy greenland but also weve seen this with his relationship with the north Korean Leader kim jong il and when he suggested that north korea had great waterfront and it should give up its Nuclear Weapons in exchange for the potential of developing its economy by putting up condos on its land so this is something that donald trump does but when he puts out these ideas and they are mocked publicly is in the case of buying greenland he does not respond to it well so how do they resolve storm in a teacup if you like and perhaps reinstate a visit. Well. As you pointed out your 1st question that hes asking for respect how he expects to have that shown is unclear but what we do know is that there is this expectation that there will be meetings again in the future but at this point we dont know when because we know the white house was caught off guard we know that denmark was caught off guard in fact the u. S. Ambassador to denmark was still tweeting about the intestine anticipated visit and really seemed kind of blindsided by the fact that the president had called off this visit so broccoli in the midst of all of this you have to remember well it does seem absurd to the suggestion of the United States buying greenland its a suggestion thats come up in the past in 1906 president trumans secretary of state made the suggestion and then about a 100 years before that 867 the u. S. Tried to do it again after buying alaska the reason for this is not just its Natural Resources that are highly desirable to the United States but also the fact that there is a sort of a defense strategic interest in greenland the fact that an air base there is part of the United States as early ballister rather u. S. Ballistic missile Early Warning system and also its used by the u. S. Air force for Space Command so we expect that in the context of these security discussions donald trump got the idea of a real estate opportunity because thats his default setting he is a former Real Estate Developer and thats how he approaches being u. S. President jimmy hoffa thank you very much indeed. Ok Prime Minister burris johnson says hes confident they can leave the European Union with a deal but only if the irish backstop is removed johnson has been holding talks with german chancellor Angela Merkel in berlin the backstop is designed to avoid a hard border between the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland if the u. K. And europe cant agree on a trading relationship after brics it critics warn it could ultimately separate Northern Ireland from the rest of the u. K. America has channels johnson to find a replacement for backstop within 30 days. In the u. K. They want a deal we seek a deal and i believe that we can get we can do this up and upside because that is the phrase but really. They clearly. We cannot we cannot accept the current withdraw agreement arrangements that are the divine the u. K. Or look us into the regulatory trading arrangements of the e. U. Legal order of the e. U. Without the u. K. Having any say on those matters so we do need that backstop removed that says the banks of the said you know what folks was it the backstop has always been a fallback position if one is able to solve this conundrum if one finds the solution and we said we would probably find it in the next 2 years to come but we can also maybe find it in the next 30 days then were one step further in the right direction and we obviously have to put our all into this. Lets go live to john mccain whos in berlin i know marco sounding cautiously positive there but how realistic is the 30 day timetable. Well certainly when Boris Johnson heard that 30 day timetable spelled out triangle americal his response was one of surprise he said that she seemed to be setting a blistering pace but that the United Kingdom government would accept that challenge as it wormwood try to to make it work within 30 days but of course in the background is that date of october the 31st the date in which in trying as it were for the British Conservative Party led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson for the United Kingdom to leave the e. U. That certainly the timetable people here are talking about the question of course though is what can be achieved by these 2 leaders alone because the European Union its position has always been that the 27 the Commission European commission would negotiate on behalf of all e. U. States so in meeting Boris Johnson and other merkel is one leader clearly a very important leader but just one leader and there are other leaders other e. U. Leaders that Boris Johnson will be meeting very sad very shortly to spell out his message to them he did hes heading to france next as is the french president been open to a kind of movement on the deal. Well this is the interesting thing the french government has said today that it there is not a cigarette paper that could be put between their position and the german position and they reiterated that by saying that they now believe that a no deal as it were a disorderly some might say chaotic brigs that is what they expected to happen on the 31st of october now the point there is as i say thats a repetition of what the German Government has been planning for and said it was planning for for some time the issue though about the backstop we know that angle americal has indicated that perhaps practical arrangements can be arrived at which would allow for brings it to happen as long as they were consistent with the good friday agreement thats the agreement that brought peace to Northern Ireland at the end of the 1909. The question will be when mr johnson goes to paris to meet Emmanuel Mccall the french president on thursday what sort of movement what sort of mood music will there be from the french side given that angle america as you were saying has shown some cautious optimism although she did say that they are far from an agreement right now but clearly they have the will the mccain thank you very much 5 e. U. States have agreed to take in nearly 100 migrants who were stranded at sea for weeks the migrants have been spending their 1st day on dry land in weeks after they were finally allowed to leave the open arms rescue ship and to italy on tuesday evening Italian Government had prevented the boat from docking at a local prosecutor intervened used border agencies on our screen the migrants to establish whether theyre eligible for International Protection turkey has extended the deadline for unregistered Syrian Refugees in istanbul to leave the city hundreds of thousands of people were given until tuesday to return to the turkish provinces where they were 1st registered all face deportation the refugees now have until the end of october after complaints that they werent given enough notice assemble hosts the largest number of registered syrians in turkey but authorities stopped accepting new registrations last year saying city cant cope with anymore. The president of rwanda and uganda have agreed to end a long running dispute and reopen the border between the 2 countries the deal brokered in the angolan capital gwenda ends months of tension with the 2 leaders exchanging accusations of spying political s. S. Nations and meddling both random president paul kagame me and ugandan president was 70 accused each other of trying to destabilize each others country and that led to rwanda closing the border.

And next the stream looks at a project in the United States taking a look at the nations history or news after that by foot. Hi im femi oke a and your in a strange land. Are black americans the true founders of us democracy that is the premise of the 1619 project and a new series by the New York Times magazine. Black people responded to their slaves by demanding and fighting not just for their own right but for universal rights they believe those words that our founders did not and from the moment when Crispus Attucks a man who in self was not free who was a fugitive from slavery died for the freedom of this new nation all the way to now we see the black lies matter protests and we must acknowledge that it is black people who have fought more than any other group to make the ideals laid out in the constitution of reality. The cornerstone of the series is an essay by Nicole Hannah jones so you just heard from and what she asserts the year 1619 is foundational to the american story of 776 the year the u. S. Gained independence why because it was august 16th 19 that the 1st and slaves africans arrived in what would become the u. S. State of virginia this is the 400th anniversary of the start of the Transatlantic Slave Trade in america the 6948 commemorate this Pivotal Moment and seeks to reframe history joining us to discuss this in new york activist educator and write to whitney patent in berkeley california Stephanie Jones rodgers shes a history professor at the university of california berkeley and in nashville tennessee tim wise hes an antiracism writer and activist welcome everyone to the stream i want to start with some of the feedback we got from people online when they 1st heard about this project and ill start here with someone on twitter who said i am brought to tears by the essay written by miss hannah jones i have never seen my own feelings about this country written so eloquently and yet it was full of facts i didnt know and i consider myself fairly well educated on our history she goes on to say a colleague of mine left the country after trump was elected a daughter of chinese and german immigrants she lost faith in our democracy i never have i will fight to my death to perfect it its why i became a lawyer so clearly this resonates very strongly with her brittany for you what was your reaction when you learned of this project and then began diving into the project and reading it. My reaction was very similar to the person who just tweeted i knew that we were going to be given an immense a gift and when i say we im talking specifically about black people who could finally see our stories and our Foundation Almost narrative is being shared in the paper of record but im also talking about a gift to this entire country a reframing of a conversation that should have happened years ago but that we continue to resist because it makes us deeply uncomfortable and forces us to look in the mirror at ourselves so im deeply grateful for this project every Single Person that contributed to it and im grateful for that conversation that its bird stephanie it feels like this is a National Conversation in the u. S. Right now people talk about race people talk about the last 400 years of American History as a historian what do you see happening what is happening here. Well i have to echo britneys comments and her feelings and sentiments about the 6900 its extraordinary its a masterful endeavor and i am so grateful to hannah jones and the other contributors as well what i think is really interesting about this moment is that we are in a trance era we are in the trumpet era an era in which White Nationalism White Supremacy racial terror have. A mainstay have made it part of a facet of our everyday lives and so to be having this conversation in this moment a moment where you would think conversations around these issues were closed is quite promising and its really an earring to me and really inspiring to me and motivates me to deeply invest in this project and make sure that it many people possible know about it too much i want to show some of our audience the essay titles that incredibly for vocative essay titles of the a part of this but really making people think have a look a on my laptop this is the lead story the lead essay at democracies founding ideals force when they were written black americans afford to make them true im going to give you 2 more recruiting educational malpractise why slavery is mis taught and worse in american schools is really shaking up the narrative of america and one more 400 years after enslaved africans were 1st brought to the genea most Americans Still dont know the full story of slavery racism is such a major issue in the state its such an uncomfortable thing to talk about tim why do you think this project has great traction. Well because i think were at a Pivotal Moment in our history as a country right now where the combination of demographic and cultural change has brought us to point where people of color are thankfully in a position to demand that truth be told and those in the old guard who have been holding back that truth for their own reasons for a very long time are losing their ability to exercise that hedge amount of control over the narrative and thats an amazing incredible thing you know James Baldwin said something a little over 50 years ago that i think is is still very important today he was talking about white folks when he said it he said these innocent people are trapped in a history they do not understand and until they understand it they cannot be released from it what he was saying was that white folks ability to lie to ourselves and to others about history has trapped us it doesnt just trap the victims of in slave mint and White Supremacy the targets of that system it also traps the practitioners and the beneficiaries in a false narrative that leads us to places that make it impossible to build multicultural democracy so i think this series is absolutely a gift as as the others have said and i think not only for people of color but for white folks to finally well have to deal with real history not the not the nonsense about George Washington and the cherry tree and not telling a lie and ben franklin flying a kite and discovering electricity or whatever it was we were told his children but the actual story the good the bad and the very ugly that have brought us to this place that is something that i think anyone whos interested in history ought to be excited when i think heres i think its important about what 10 just said its not just about the story that has been told its about connecting the dots from the truth of all of the moments that were covered 1619 and so many that want to where that has brought us to now until we understand our history we will be doomed to repeat it and we absolutely. We are repeating it were repeating and extending the legacy of slavery through mass incarceration in the u. S. We are can we are continuing to extend the legacy of slavery through educational malpractise not just in how poorly we teach about slavery but also about how poorly we teach black children in this country there are so many ways in which the manifestations of slavery continue to haunt america and americans every single day and so this is not just about reckoning with our past its also clearly about reckoning with our president and to tims point when white people get a hold of this its about understanding the story and then understanding your current responsibility to be an antiracist so pretty understanding that i want to give this you stephanie but i want to pick up on britneys point that as another continuation and extension of that legacy and to modern day life this is one of the point that people are picking up on so maureen says not only did in slave labor clear land and build infrastructure but the profits and business of slavery fed the shipping industry created the wealth of new england traders and later fueled the Industrial Revolution based on cotton mills someone else put it very simply almost summing up what that person said this is another person as our story on twitter who says the wealth of this nation and others would not have been possible without the use of slave so stephanie talk to us about those ramifications that were seeing in modern day life. Sure i mean i think its really important to understand that you know we we tend to think of slavery as a Regional Institution one that was a brutal institution but not necessarily connected to our nation more broadly and what historians of slavery and capitalism have been showing really since the 1930 s. The 1940 s. With a Great British caribbean historian Eric Williams that slavery was fundamental to the mergence and the development of capitalism and global capitalism so thats very much the case in the United States on as those wonderful tweets underscore slavery was fundamental to the development of industrialization in the north you have the cotton pick by and sleep people for example being put be shipped to the north in order to be processed and made into textiles in northern textile mills you have hot and being shipped to britain im in order to you know do the same exact thing so the the the the labor and the products of enslaved people became fundamental to the development of industrialization and subsequently global apple is on im in so i think our story im seems to be a uniquely american one but its very much im a global one and i think thats one of the things that 61000 project drives home guess what im not hearing him make the case for that 16 or until the founding of the founders of the United States should be thought as those black americans that built america i mean can he make that connection between slavery and where we are right now in the states but im not hearing you making that case to go ahead what i was just out. Of which and 2nd that i think i would i would love to respond to that i absolutely i was really so wonderful question to you and to pose i meant to center this conversation the question on that that you let out what it. Which is should we think of African Americans or african descended people particularly those that that arrived in 69. 00 can continue to ride there after as our true Founding Fathers and mothers i would add and i would argue that they should certainly be counted among them and i say that because when you think about the things that make our Founding Fathers and mothers a remarkable all of those things African American african descent of people african captives began to do immediately upon arrival in in the United States or in the bay area that we would now and the good to be the United States they found that there were injustices perpetrated against the government they aired those grievances to that government to local and federal governments and then they face struck out they took up arms and they fought to to secure their freedom in some cases they won in many respects they did not so i think the things that make our founding father from our people are the things that african descent people have been doing since before 6900 but certainly within the context of slavery and in merican slavery have been doing since 61 things i think it is important to center im 61000 and that story of american democracy and also to recognize african descended people those who came in 61000 there after as are certainly of very important founders Founding Fathers and mothers right and i would just have to that you know if you if you go to the museum of africanAmerican History and culture in d. C. Theres a rather extraordinary point in the museum there are many of them but one of them is this point where there is a statue of Thomas Jefferson and behind him bathed in light is this granite wall right and has his famous words all men are created equal endowed by their creator with certain and even of all right of course when he wrote those words he owned about 230 other human beings so its clear he didnt believe them but whats interesting is that between that granite wall and the statue of jefferson is a no other recall on which the names of the human beings that he owned are located now who in that equation believed jeffersons words. Was it jefferson or was it the people he owned as property to the extent that the answer is obviously the latter you have to give credit to enslave the persons and their progeny and those who fought for justice as the actual founders and the only ones who ever believed the words that the ones we call founders put down on paper the 2nd point id make and it goes back to all that weve been talking about is about how the past affects the present and why i think so many people ready some have had a hard time with this series those on the right critique it is that they desperately want to act as if inertia is only a property of the physical universe and not the Socio Economic political cultural or historical but what happens in one generation affects the next and the next and the next until that force is stopped it is like the 2nd law of thermodynamics in that regard and so not only do we have the accumulation of wealth for white folks because of that history now a 15. 00 to 1. 00 gap between white and black 12. 00 to 1. 00 between white and brown but we also have other things in history that continue to repeat i would beg to remind the listeners and viewers that the oldest plate in the american political playbook going back to the 16th hundreds is the one that we see being played in coal right now what is that place it is rich white men telling not rich white people that their enemies are black and brown and that literally but it ends in the colonies when the least as i did they have to divide and conquer working people from one another they have to create the white race to get poor europeans who they had no love for to think that their allies were the rich as opposed to the black and brown folks who worked alongside them that is the same play that donald trump is calling today so the past affects the present in lots of ways and 10 as youre thinking youre getting a lot of clapping amoa things and are raising it errored are you to because people agree with you i want to share one of them the c. V. Who says the us was born out of contradiction the constitution says were all created equal while we were in chains we thought. To make the constitution a reality American Culture really is black culture so keeping that in mind i want to share a video comment from someone who pitched the idea of us covering this 400th anniversary a while back this is Steven Thomas hes an organizer and a lecturer and harrisburg virginia and heres his take black people are commemorating the 400th anniversary of the violent capture kidnapping and arrival of the 1st in slave africans 2 Point Comfort now fort monroe in Hampton Virginia the brutal enterprise and institution of american slavery continues to perpetuate a legacy of racial wealth inequality as recent studies reveal that africanamerican households will have a median wealth of 0 within the next 35 years fundamentally the same as it was when i ancestors were brought here 400 years ago with nothing this country has a truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Reparations Program and package for black people it whatever to be a land of opportunity free of the vestiges of White Supremacy. So britney her comment there what then do we do with this information a lot of us have already known it others are learning things new myself included learning new things from these the series but then what do we do with it i believe the commenter is absolutely right so that it is a time for truth certainly for reconciliation and then for recompense that we actually make right and make good on the debt that is old in the form of reparations but this is the truth phase right so if we now have the 161000 project and other projects like 13 from a reducer in may and when they see us in the work of activists and organizers like myself all around the country weve got these moments and movements throughout history that can expand on the truths that means that teachers have to pick up that truth that means that pastors have to pick up the truths and leave the people who need teams at workplaces need to pick up that truth and make the truth the curriculum by which they operate from for the rest of this year lets say the next few months at the very least that is the truth but then we actually have to come to reconciliation you know tim wifely talked about the kind of blowback that is coming magic from the right i would say but basically from people who would be much more comfortable if we ignored this truth and those are the folks that will require a level of learning most certainly but they are the folks that have to reconcile with us those are the folks that have to say not only is reality forever changed by slavery but those are also folks that have been sad directly benefit from the legacy of this thing and therefore what do i owe a what is the power that i am forced to share to ensure that the future is different than the past and the present so i completely agree with the comments are weve got to talk about truth weve got to talk about reconciliation we absolutely have to talk about reparations youve spoken about how this entire project is looking at 61000 in a very different way its been incredibly educational the. New york times actually have partnered up with the Pulitzer Organization and they have created Educational Resources we caught up with one of the senior team who was actually in a school early on this morning in North Carolina teaching teaches and we wanted to know what impact could this possibly have this idea of looking at history and very different way from 1619 this is what he told us this project will change the way that kids learn about slavery because it will. It will challenge students to think about the humanity of the people who were enslaved and brought to this country the work that they contributed the ingenuity the resilience is going to open discussions about the role that many people have have played in fighting for a stronger democracy in this country and also the rural the way that our history can present be better understood by bringing in stories that are not traditionally heard and bring in the stories our community is telling us is so important this is leticia on twitter who says i sent my kids history teacher and principal links to the project the free p. D. F. Plus the pulitzer censors teacher curriculum they can teach beyond m. L. K. The underground railroad rosa parks and go into senators cowboys wall street plus so much more 70 for you what do you think is important to learn about how to then teach this in classrooms. So as a as a history of slavery as an instructor that centers the history of slavery in my merican history classes i often have College Level students come to me frustrated and they argue that this is not something they had ever learned before coming into my class or before coming to college and i think what the 6900 projects is doing by partnering with this with the Pulitzer Center is an extraordinary endeavor in large part because it doesnt just walk the walk it talks the talk it gives tall teachers it gives parents it gives anyone thats really interested the resources to to develop to implement the 61000 project in the classroom stepha to expose students to this knowledge study i have to ask you this on your Instagram Account right now i want people to know how deeply invested you are in this topic so one of your previous works how white remains investment in slavery has shaped american you are use to blind peoples minds about that concept to slavery what really happened from a historical point of view when you look at everybody whos involved in the picture tell us one thing that will amaze our audience that youve always known that you know shock people. So many people you know were kind of flabbergasted when this. Large majority of white women voted for trump and have subsequently voted for. Problematic candidate lets just say and so as a story of slavery on my book in particular look that white womens Economic Investment in the institution of slavery and what it shows is that they have long been invested in White Supremacy the project of White Supremacy not simply as its been this year is but as people who are sitting at the table designing the system designing the system of Racial Discrimination White Supremacy and so i think whats fundamental to understand about the 69 project too is when i think of slavery as a masculine a masculine regime one that was dominated by men but as my work shows and other other stylish work shows white women were fundamental to to the development of the institution of slavery as well even if they couldnt vote and they couldnt be politically active in ways that we imagine meant to be as a term i want to play a comment from someone else whos learned something from the thing wants to take it on hes an educator in new york and this is jose what he learned the 1619 project gives me hope for any number of reasons but primarily because as a matter i look forward to the framing mathematics from the Vantage Point of the most disadvantaged those that are suddenly him have desired coaching responsive assenting education for years are given license to do so because the 16000 projects that our system process to let him out of education from that lends. So ted when it comes to an educational reeducation how do we educate people that black history is American History well you know i mean i think you can look at other examples of how this has been done and why it is and how its been valuable so for example in tucson arizona over the last decade theres been a big debate about chicano studies Mexican American studies there was a Great Program which the state unfortunately tried to get rid of and did for several years the courts have now ruled against the state for having done that but this program which taught history and literature and science and math through this chicano lens had a profound effect on the performance of the mostly chicano not entirely but mostly latino and latino students who went through the program 70 percent roughly of the students who went through that program where the material was taught to a culturally relevant lens went to college similar students who were also to contacts but did not go through the program only went to college at a rate of about 17 percent so what that tells us is that when we teach through a culturally relevant lens where people can see themselves in the story and not just as victims but as resistance to injustice which is whats so great about this project its not simply presenting slavery as the story of what was done to black people its a story about what black people did in response to oppression as with the case in tucson which a context history and Mexican American studies that has the ability to in figure rate learning because it infests learning with a social purpose is not just about meeting a state standard passing a test getting a job getting into college its about collective liberation that excites young people in ways that oftentimes regular educational theory doesnt step in my prek. He always excited thank you so much for bringing all pass on to our own much not to the strong to the restaurant a well and to read this from nate who says teachers response well for teaching American History need to begin far before 776 to understand the us now we need to understand how it all began with the parenting of the land and the exploitation of death and inflamed human beings i will use the 619 project to teach the truth.
