instead kowtow to the president of the united states who, i would like to quote very quickly when asked about this the other day, said the following. he was asked why he doesn t believe in climate change. this is the president of the united states. i m quoting, one of the problems that a lot of people like myself, we have very high levels of intelligence but we re not necessarily such believers. he goes on to say, quote, and when you re talking about an atmosphere, oceans are very small and it blows over, and it sails over, i mean. we take thousands of tons of garbage off our beaches all the time that comes over from asia. it just flows right down the pacific. it flows and we say where does this come from. and it takes many people to start off with. and then he goes on in this bizarre answer. this is the president of the united states responding to a question about the reality of climate change. so, mr. president, i hope that we will get back to where we were on climate chang

i m going to complicate some of the ways it is often talked about. we will talk about where it came from and how we ended up with the world s biggest prison system. what that has to do with this time. the 1960 s and 1970 s and the second reconstruction. we will think about the role that people in prison and formerly incarcerated people have played consistently as analysts and observers and critics of mass incarceration. we will start off big and work our way to the human level. the u.s. incarcerates more people than anyone else in the world. in terms of absolute numbers more than 2.2 million people in prison, but also the rate of incarceration. 5% of the worlds population and about two 25% of the prison population. you can see how much more that is than even other countries that have their own version of mass incarceration. 700 people per 100,000 people in the united states that are incarcerated today. that is a relatively recent phenomenon. when we look at incarceration th
the marquis lafayette was 19 years old when he came to america to fight in the revolution. he was a french aristocrat and when i talk to students about this and i say he was 19 we think about 19-year-olds today what were you like when you were 19? were you going to fight in revolution across the sea? probably not. he was an interesting individual. his support and influence with the french government helps the revolution s cause. when he came back, he was invited back by president monroe for the purpose of remembering the revolution, munro saw that people were starting to die off, the revolutionaries are starting to leave us, but lafayette was still a living connection to the revolution. he came back and did this amazing tour of what was then the united states, in an era when there were not trains. of course there were not automobiles. this was horses and carriages and he crisscrossed the then united states, and the fact that he had so many places from new york city down t
