Their closing arguments to the American People. This as their best chance to reach tens of millions of people who were watching tonight. Our special postdebate newscast starts right now. Good evening and thanks for being with us. Im raj mathai. And im jessica aguirre. Race, covid19, immigration, climate, health care and china among the topics tonight. The exchanges, though, much more substantial and civil than their first debate. We were actually able to hear some clear answers tonight from both candidates. Now, the debate also had a very different feel. More measured, more controlled, with less interruptions. Now, thats partly due to new debate rules where microphones were muted at times.

It looks at riis in a slightly different way, and sort of concentrating more on his biography, more on his photography. Here we are looking at riis as the journalist, because that is the strength of our collection. The papers here, which number 3000 in the Manuscript Division, are really featured well in this exhibition and sort of come to the forefront. Barb
Ads. Near of end of her career she saw the mandatory polygraph examinations for new recruits. I had a stack of letters from black and brown people who failed a polygraph and said they felt they were asked inappropriate questions. Her proposal, videotape the polygraphs to create accountability. I can tell you internal to my division they were opposed to it. They didnt want to do it . They didnt want to do it. The number of black agents in the fbi hovered so low for so long they created this. A buffalo nickel. A challenge coin to commemorate the fact that black agents historically only made up 5 of the fbi, a number that is lower today. To sit here today and to hear that the numbers have gotten worse and the personal sacrifice. I moved my kids eight times. Two divorces, okay. I want the bureau to be accountable, but you have to believe that it is necessary. Eric jacksons successful career came to an abrupt end last year. He was gunning for an executive assistant director position. There
