Africanamericans. Hard to be worse than the treatment of arvfricanamerican so then better. So Laura Michael and brooke at the beginning talk about, i think, sort of overall southern white perceptions of race. And brooke makes the argument both of them make the argument that this is an accurate depick of the way that whites perceived the way things went or slavery persisted. So again to it aagaagain not ba capturing that moment in time. They have a right to critique th that. Scarlet scarlets parents how historically accurate do you think they were. He was irish. Really irish. Knew to the south. The ieshiearish, especially in north were being seen as the lowest of the low just above africanamericans. How likely would it have been for him to own this huge plantation. Hes too rich but there are a number of scotts and irish immigrants who go to the upcountry part of the south, the back country south and are able to get land and in some cases are table table to attain slave i thought i rread
Its 150 years since the u. S. Civil war and a number of countre are under way this year and next to mark the occasion. Over the next new hours, were going to take a look at hollywoods perception of the issues. Now, a panel of history professors traces slavery as depicted in films in the 1930s. This hour and a half event is from the society from civil war historians bihandle meeting in baltimore. In the past two years, three feature filmses who focus is american slavery and emancipation have been released to positive and often glowing reviews and all of them were profitable. Django unchained made 160 milli million. Lincoln made 182 million. 12 years a slade made 26 million but only cost 26 million to make. Roughly the same. This mini upsurge has provoked a lot of debate and discussion about the depictions of slavery and freedom of film and other forms of media, visual media and television and documentary, youtube shorts and different series. We are continue iing that conversation today.
Those hospitals. I think brooke put in our comment too that the women werent really around the men changing bandages but scarlet was all up in there. Shes was literally watching what was going on. Women usually removed from that because they were that pure for that sort of thing. She was kind of like a traditional, say your typical war nurse you would think of. Thats really not what it was like. Another thing to think about is that all of the hospital scenes that are portrayed are in the south at the end of the war so there are very few men around to help as nurses anyway. So there was a greater chance that women would take up these roles as acting as nurses whether she would do it in garb to do it is an entirely different matter but it is certainly possible to have women filling those roles in hospital. Right. Certainly in the south, it is more likely to see this in extreme circumstances where women would step in. . qc okay. What about scarlet owning a mill, running a mill and galavan
To charge mobile devices. They are quickly giving way to wireless technology. Three japanese scientists are expressing their thanks to people who helped then win the nobel prize in physics. Isamu akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura carried out Ground Breaking research that led to the creation of blue light emitting diodes or l. E. D. S. What they invented is now used in many electronic products. Members of the Royal Swedish Academy of sciences made the announcement in stockholm. Akasaki teaches in central japan. Amano is a professor at nagayo university and nakamura is a professor at university of california, santa barbara. In 1989, akasaki and amano used Gallium Nitride crystals to develop a semiconductor that emitted blue light. Nakamura built on that achievement to create brighter blue l. E. D. S capable of being used in electronic products. The Academy Members said it contributed to help saving the earths resources and they say it promises a better quality of life for 1. 5 bi
