Protestors have given the chief executive of hong kong a deadline to resign, saying they want him out of office by thursday night, or theyll begin to occupy government buildings. Scott heidler is amidst the tents and umbrellas in hong kong. What are you seeing this morning where you are . What we are seeing is a little bit of a shift. Not many protesters have come down to where we are. We are in front of the chief Executives Office. The main protest area is down the street a little bit. Again, dozens of protesters, its 11 oclock in the morning. Before we see a peak in numbers of protesters, but dozens have come down here. This is something we havent seen for a couple of day
A case that sparked a national debate, and the impact it could have on policing in america. And cutting edge some of the gis mos and gadgets that change the way we live in 2015 and we begin with the death of an american political icon. Former new york governor mario cuomo, once a shining star died of Heart Failure. He served three terms as governor from 1983 to 1984, making headlines in 1984 speaking at the Democratic Convention. He became a frontrunner for the presidency, a race he would never run. Paul beban joins us on the life of governor cuomo. His son was inaugust raid today. Inaugurated today. Andrew spoke about his father earlier today. He couldnt be here physically today, my father but he is in the room. He is in heart and mind of every person who is here. Hes here and here and here. And his inspiration and his legacy and experience is what has brought this state to this point. Legacy and spirit. Much of what cuomo talked about goes back to mario cuomo, the spellbinding orator
Completion said there was really no Church Involvement there. Im not trying to depricate the church. Im asserting it played a central role but i dont want to give a tribute of monopoly of leadership to the church. In both reconstructions, the enthusiasm of white northerners started to wane, to decline when the price of black advancement rose. In the 1870s, we talked about the way in which just the need to police the white south became a price that was greater than what many white northerners were willing to pay, and thats one of the reasons the first reconstruction ended. In more recent times, you find that when the inner city riots of the 60s take place, when the School Bussing issue arrived in the 1970s, when whites start to realize that there is a National Problem here and there is a National Price to be paid, the enthusiasm for whites, or at least the acquiescence of whites in the north starts to decline. Now, i want to draw a distinction here, though, between the two reconstructio
Lecture on president Lyndon Johnsons war on poverty. Next melvin ely compares the reconstruction and civil rights eras. Its just over an hour. Here we are at the end of the semester and it strikes me as a Good Opportunity maybe to compare the reconstruction period that we started off talking about in this course with what some have called the second reconstruction, which is the time of the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and 60s. Let me tell you, first, what i mean by the first reconstruction and the second reconstruction. By the first, i mean in not only postcivil war reconstruction, im including also the civil war itself and all that took place during the war up through the end of radical reconstruction. The second reconstruction will be simply enough, the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and 60s. I wont carry my remarks any farther than that, i think. Now, in talking about the two reconstructions, im going to have to use some broad generalizations of a type im not entirely comforta
At which the civil war is still very much a part of living memory. Right . There are livingductions of the war, people involved in combat who are still alive. In 1912, state of pennsylvania issued an invitation of honorably discharged veterans of the civil war to come to gettysburg for a reunion of sorts. And you probably have already seen pictures of this or read about it in David Wrights book. I want to spend a little time talking about that. That marked something of the high water mark. It was kind of the peak of their aspirations. They invaded the north. The defeat of gettysburg was in many ways the beginning of the end. It proved at least on the battles there was no way for the confederacy to take the war to the end. So here we have some pictures. This is actually a picture of new york veterans having a meal at gettysburg. If you were to look at the public narrative, the narrative you would find in newspapers and commemorative pamphlets in public pronouncements, the sentiments exp
