Watch thursday beginning at 8 pm eastern, American History tv this week and every weekend on cspan3. In the years before 1941, japan built a great war machine and prepared for a mad gamble with the rest of the world. Finally, it played its hand. And lost. This was hiroshima immediately after the atomic bomb. A lifeless, hopeless city. But, time passes. And in the desolation of defeat, people stir and strive for the normal living they once knew. Hiroshima is a symbol of a new beginning of a defeated country is making. Slowly, very slowly, something is coming out of the wreckage. Not merely new buildings, but in the minds of a defeated people, a growing new ideas. The idea of democracy. There is hope in the air. Perhaps the past from defeat will lead to a better way of living than they have ever known before. In the old days, the victor took the spoils, sacked the conquered coun

Make the American People see why this is a gigantic mistake. Mayor lyles good afternoon. Or good morning. Its still good morning, i believe. I want to say thank you for coming out on this fabulous charlotte fall day to have a very important conversation with a very important person that we will hope to see in january, on a stage, being inaugurated as the next president of the United States. I think thats why were here. [applause] but before i talk about the seriousness of this conversation, what id like to do is make sure that everyone recognizes where we are. We are in camp north end, but more importantly, were in a place where creativity flourishes. The artists that have worked on the art that youre going to see today, we have to recognize them. Theyre people that give so much, and they dont get paid enough. And thats the kind of thing that were beginning to see.
