Montgomery but they have to leave montgomery in 1957 and she will spend the second half of her life as an activist in detroit fighting the racism of the jim crow no. She will continue to do that, rosa parks will call malcolm x her personal hero, she will be active against the war in vietnam, she will be active against South African apartheid, showing a picture with my favorites in the book about an older rosa parks protesting outside the South African embassy, she will continue until the end of her by saying the struggle is not over, there is much injustice in this country and she will be resolved to keep fighting but yet the way rosa parks is taught is a problem we salt in the past but the actual rosa parks says theres much more work to be done. Susan siegel host how did you do the research on this book . Guest i had to do a lot of digging. I did all sorts of oral history interviews, in part because part of rosa parkss favors were caught up in a dispute over her stage, got the papers
Each other clearly for the first time in years. To see the face they loved again. As i saw the joy in their eyes i thought this is why i became a doctor. In that moment i also remembered my grandmother who inspired me to become an eye surgeon. She spent hours with me as a kid. We would sort through her coin collection, but as her vision began to fail i became her eyes. I went with her to have her corneas replaced. And i was with her when she received the sad news that Macular Degeneration had done irreversible damage to her eyes. I have been fortunate, i have been able to enjoy the American Dream. I worry that the opportunity and hope are slipping away for our sons and daughters. As i watch our once great economy collapse under mounting spending and debt i think what kind of america will our grandchildren see . It seems to me that both parties and the entire political system are to blame. [ cheers and applause ] Big Government in debt doubled under a republican administration. And its
If i could have your attention,e program on Manufacturing Society in the 21st century here at the institute. I welcome you on behalf of the institute both in the audience and those viewing remotely. I wanted to ask our president , walter isaacson, just to say a few words. Its always dangerous when your boss knows as much or more about the subject matter. That is definitely not true and that is why it is a pleasure to have tom here at the Aspen Institute because the one thing we do know about the issue of manufacturing is how important it is to americas economy and how ridiculous it is to try to think of a great economy that doesnt always have a healthy Manufacturing Sector. And so, when we were looking at the Aspen Institute and all the things we do in terms of the creation of jobs and the economy, we felt there was a huge gap because people kind of understood the reduction of manufacturing jobs in america that was happening, but nobody was as focused as they should be even though they
Makers wasting time and attention on phony scandal instead of the peoples work. To often over the past two years, washington took its eye off of the ball. They have allowed political postural and phony scandal to distract from our economy and growing middleclass. Fox news poll find that people do not agree with the president. The interest in the benghazi terrorist attack is anything but phony and not phony to voters, nsa snooping on americans. And the Justice Department seizing telephone records and irs targeting conservative groups for extra scrutiny. Host of power play on fox news live. Chris, you have written your insightful and provocative column today. It is entitled phony . Balonnie. Reporters are going to ask him about that phrase, right . Oh, sure. This is where the rubber meets the rod. It is 100 since the president did a full press conference, in the end of april and it has been a hundred days and all of those scandals have grown, in case matacicized and in the case of the ir
Of this, we have Maggie Haberman White House Correspondent for the New York Times and cnn chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin who has parachuted in perfectly. Well played. What we are about to see today maggie are two firsts. This is the First White House official, and this is the first witness who was actually listening in on that phone call and who can tell us if the transcript reflects exactly what he heard and w he heard that so bothered him during the course of this ukraine controversy that he twice went to report it to Legal Counsel to his superiors. The white house has tried for several weeks now to try to build a blockade so witnesses would not go ahead to the house. This is of concern to them. This is somebody who is not just on the call, which means its going to blunt one of President Trumps talking points that there was a transcript and it doesnt properly reflect what i said, even though people have read the rough transcripts. And he put it out. Its not a full transcript, but
