Theauthors live in roxbury new york. Please give a warm savanna welcome to and jean ellsworth. [applause] thank you for inviting us and the focus for the last negroes at harvard and 61 years ago , harvard admitted 18 negroes and thats what we were called then and we were the largest number at that time ever admitted harvard. We were from all different parts of the country. North, south, east and west and we came from economic and socioeconomic backgrounds. And we heretofore they had been letting, admitting blacks to harvard but only two or three at a time most guys would just go and do their four years and get out of town. We leave cameras but was different in the sense that we had numbers. 18 and we could form an individual racial identity as well as a group identity. We were able to become actually a force for change at harvard and harvard, we changed harvard and harvard changed us and that essentially what the book is about, its about our four years here and what happened before and
Theres something elemental about speaking the story that puts it to a different task. Narrators bring stories to life in countless ways. The works of shakespeare, toni morrison, Jason Reynolds and Michelle Obama are ace are richer experience heard rather than silent we read. Because of an intimate experience youre not performing per se. You are narrating it. And constantly listening and now get out my iphone and make a recording of someone that might have some characteristic.

You will be part of really making this nation that great again but as great as it can become and the continued pursuit of greatness. Id like to thank mark mario, all of our panelists, sponsors and you for attending the morning session. Lets not leave this discussion in the room but take it to the power and use it for the greater good of our brothers and sisters who are disproportionately and adversely affected by the criminal Justice System. President obama pledged more than two hundred inmates a few days ago and most of them were black or brown. He understands the system as it is now working but hes on his way out.

With that i bid you all audios and pleas enjoy the remainder of your day. I hope to see you all tonight at the gala and see you in the trenches when the convention is over, thank you. [applause]. T

The act has made the fed omnipotent but cannot make it omniscient. No act can. Through the exercise of socalled heightened prudential standards the fed can control the largest Financial Institutions in our economy. Former fed governor kevin warsh recently wrote Central Bank Power is permissible in a democracy only when its scope limited, its track record strong and accountable assured. None of that do we observe today. Where his feds omnipotents has taken us . The big banks are bigg
for this statement by med them, yellen so much the flux 97 in the one that has these have been presented to the un. they have been presented at various press conferences in moscow and in other countries. the facts clearly corroborated by the world food program and the food and agricultural organization of the united nations. but i believe that is and the fact that the problems in the food market started well before the special military operation. and everyone knows that before the coven 19 pandemic began our western colleagues in washington and in europe, printed trillions of dollars in the euro. and started to thrash asleep bout food products. because they expected that the pandemic would crated food crisis. and the crisis actually came into being but, and part due to the fact that there was this uncontrolled monetary emission. and there was an uncompromising politicized transfer to the so called green economy. western partners threw away long term contracts. by the way, as
