to help estimate a number. many times throughout american history the question of how many jellybeans are in a jar has been a racist tool of oppression. in 1890 mississippi lawmakers gathered in jackson to find a way around the 15th amendment which gave african-americans the right to vote. the white judge who presided put the matter bluntly. we came here to exclude the negro. nothing short will answer. the mississippi lawmakers adopted two measures to make voting all but impossible for black people in mississippi. one was a poll tax. you had to bring the equivalent of $58 in today s money to vote. the other was a literacy test. registrars could ask arbitrary questions to decide if prospective voters were smart enough to vote. white people always seemed to get the simple questions. black voters, well, black voters were asked such things as how many bubbles are in a bar of soap? and they were also asked things like how many jellybeans are in this jar? these practices beca ....

flights. this is all part of an all-of-government effort. not only are we obtaining resources from the department of defense, but we brought in a person from the department of health and human services to address the medical needs of anyone who needs that type of attention. not only do we rely on the resources and capabilities of the department of homeland security, but we look across the federal government and in partnership with civil society to see what resources and capabilities we can bring to bear to meet the challenge, and that is indeed what we are doing here. and how can you be assured that when they go back they re not dealing with very difficult conditions? much more difficult than what they re dealing with right now? why not allow them to come into the country? so let me take both those questions, jim. we re working very closely with the government of haiti to ensure that the individuals return is accomplished as safely and humanely as possible. we are ....
