I think that video probably helped to show that. It gives you an opportunity to see, and i think the news reels and things, the images on there, give you an opportunity to see what that was like. What the beginning of world war ii was like in europe, specifically, and of course in japan as well. At the beginning of the semester, i told you guys my mantra. I dont know if you remember that or not, but its all about perspective. Thats how i teach. Thats how i teach history. Thats my mantra when it comes to my own research and scholarship. Its all about perspective. When i talk to you about that at the beginning of the semester, i used world war ii as an example to illustrate that. Were going to come back to that now.

If all you do is see that video, if all you do is hear the stories of the infantry men who were on the beaches in normandy. If all you do is talk about the impact of war on sailors
Convention, and i found this and couldnt resist giving it to you, because here in this convention, when theyre talking about womens suffrage, mr. King says, im in favor of allowing the largest liberty to every citizen of the United States.

And there are thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of women, 10,000 times Better Qualified than one half of the men who vote in these United States. So while im setting up here is the idea that at the very moment that americans are trying to figure out who should have a say in American Society, theyre cutting out, as you remember, africanamericans
