1860s and 1970s, he was busy with highway 5, 99. He had worked all the time except for when it rained. But he knew as son as soon as the sun was out, he would be working. He was not making a whole lot as a laborer. He had about a sixthgrade education and he got paid about 14 per hour with benefits stable enough for nine months that he could take care of us. As i said, i got to go to college because of that. How many Road Construction workers do you know could send their kids to Stanford University . Thats the difficulty. We have to get to the point where we honor the middle class. We look at them for what they are, the jewel. It is the largest segment of america. If we make them feel like they can afford to get that clothes washer, Interest Rates will go up and thats ok because i can afford to get the car now that i need. Thats what keeps the economy going. I agree with you in that sense. In terms of how you handle the banks, i want to be a little realistic. Im not happy with the big b
The reality is they opened up but it was to be an outreach to our kind of people there. Thank you. I just had a quick question. Do you think the majority of the people, do you have any information on this, left for political reasons, not wanting to live under yankee rule or was it more economics hoping to reestablish a Slave Institution in brazil or elsewhere . And also, do you have any information perhaps about the states that they were more likely to have left were deep south states like alabama, mississippi or upper south states, which i would think it would be deep south states but im just guessing on that . Well, let me start with your last question, yes, it was predominantly deep south states where it was where the brazilian government advertised and also the ports lended themselves to transportation to brazil as well. Although, there were some virginians. They would have left from norfolk and there was a man in lynchburg whose last name was noonen who was sort of the point perso
Away. Now, he was the tenth ebola patient treated in the u. S. He arrived from sierra leone on saturday. Crews in hazmat suits transported him very gingerly. He was in extremely critical condition. They called this an hour by hour situation. Doctors said he was given doses of plasma as well as the experimental drug zmapp. He was a native of sierra leone, but he was also a legal u. S. Resident. His son had said he had seen him a month before he left and that he had been returning to sierra leone to help the people of west africa. This Ebola Outbreak, the worst in history, has already claimed more than 5,000 lives. But, again, within the past hour or so, doctors here in nebraska confirm that this latest ebola patient has passed away and were expecting to get more information from doctors later this morning. Jose, back to you. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez thank you very much. Now we turn to peter kassig, the american executed by isis. His parents dont want him remembered as a victim. This afternoo
Conservatives who blame Hillary Clinton and barack obama. Theres also an absence of compassion from people retreating to their ideological corners. Lets not lose sight in our common humanity. The values that brought those protesters to the streets in dallas, in washington last night, respect, decency, humanity. It took me a long time and a be in of people talking to me over the years to begin to get a sense of this. If you are a normal white american, the truth is, you dont understand being black in america, and you instinctively underestimate the level of discrimination and the level of additional risk. Black lives matter too would, in fact, try to be a corrective, which initially people reject because its not in their world. Still, i think the collective feeling many of us feel today, i certainly do, is a sense of something coming undone and a mooring thats led to an outbreak of violence, vitriol. Some having if america is repeating one of the worst years in our history, 1968, that t
