For those of us that have served , particularly those of us that have faced combat that opening scene is something that you will never forget. I hope you never forget. The scene that is most important to me came later in the movie. Tom hanks is laying on the rubble and he called over private ryan. He asked him to kneel down. He said to him to words. Earn this. Any victory Worth Winning must be deserved. As the victories are increased in scale so must be our exertion. Victory, Winston Churchill says, we shall not win through the evils in our enemy.

Test test. Test. Test test. Test. Test test. Portrait of fanny lou him aer, who was a great activist, and especially in the 1964 democratic convention. She gave a speech that galvanized the American Public because it was televised. And she said, im sick and tired of being sick and tired. That was alluding to her long struggle to try to have rights as an american, Citizenship Rights in the United States. So earlier she had attempted to vote in the early 50s, and she had actually been denied because she was illiterate. As a young woman, she had to give up going to school in order to help her family. So she worked as young woman and never learned how to read. So this is one example of an activist who whose words were spoken from the heart. And she had this immeasurable affect influencing the American Public at large because her speech was televised in 1964.

And i think that today is one of those occasions, in which we have a collection of fine scholars and activists here to address the theme. So what we are, and what we have decided to do is to run the plenary more as a round table, and the moderated conversation about the issues with the great migration, and i wanted to introduce our panelists, and give them an opportunity to speak for a few minutes as far as their own work and perceptions and ideas about the great migration, and then move on to the question and answer followed by a discussion with us, and followed by a question and answer session with the audience. So i wanted to introduce our panelists. The first panelist is joe trotter who is a giant history professor and prior with the Carnegie Mellon center in pittsburgh, and previously the president of the africanamerican studies in the urban life and economy
