We are here today to discuss womens rights, their right to bodily autonomy. Their right to set the course of their own life. And their right to economic freedom.

Debt and deficits do not occur in a vacuum. Welcome. The result from the they result from the fiscal decisions that we make and from what we do that st
Would be governor, senator or president , a lot of people would have said ed prichard of kentucky. He was one of those people who worked in the white house when he was in his early 20s. He seemed destined for great things and then came back to kentucky and in the 1940s was indicted for stuffing a ballot box. Went to prison. And so that incredible promise just falmed out. We also visit ashland, the former home of speaker of the house, senator and secretary of state henry clay. The mansion at ashland is a unique situation. Calys original clays original home had to be torn down. It fell into disrepair. His son built on the original foundation. What we have is a home that is a fivepart federal style home as henry clay had with details in architecture and elements and an added layer of aesthetic details added by henry clays granddaughter and so on. See all of our programs will lexington saturday evening at 6 30 eastern and sunday afternoon at 2 00 eastern on American History tv on cspan 3.
