virginia life in america's political arena. why he thinks obama could have done better for blacks in america. >> you were the first black governor since the civil war. >> first elected ever. >> that's right. during reconstruction they weren't elected. you have some interesting words in your book about president obama. let me just quote from 159. you say during the president's first term, organizations representing african americans were particularly side lined and even directly insulted. president obama in his administration seemed utterly tone deaf to the voice of the african american community. tell me what you meant by that. >> well, there were any numbers of things that people would thought would take place. the neighborhoods, the communities. schools. crime. many of them thought that there might be a rebuilding of the cities. he said one of the best speeches i've heard him make is at the u.s. conference of mayors, i was a mayor for a period of time. and he said that cities were not the obstacles to metropolitan growth but

including virginia. there are still a lot of low-income women who don't have that choice, as rachel said. that is a big policy barrier. we can't just look at the national picture on this. we have to look at the specific states and the work that mark is doing to help improve access is really important. even if we can get the financing in the policies all aligned and the supply side is all perfect, i think we have a lot of work to do politically and on the ground in terms of the demand side and patient education. if we want voters to be the ones that help make the decision, we have a lot of work to do to educate voters about this. and to educate consumers, the patients we are talking about. the national campaign recently finished qualitative research with the target audience, young women 18 to 30 who would benefit from iud's and implants, and we learned a lot about how to talk about it and how not to talk about it. the first insight is don't use the word larkin that is something we have to learn from. we h

, virginia's a very conservative state. we balance our budget each year, which is a good thing. so i want to give you a quick analogy of how i've done this or how we have done this before. but back in 2008 the governor asked me to patron a bill to eliminate smoking in restaurants. and if you can imagine virginia being very conservative, tobacco being a big part of our economy in the past, that was my first year in the senate, like thank you very much governor for asking me to do that. but i talked about the science as a pediatrician, what second-hand smoke, the ill effects of that, and also the costs to our health care that are exposed to second-hand smoke. so the first year it passed in the senate, was defeated in the house. the second year i reached out as we're talking and continued to educate folks on both sides of the aisle, and we were able to get that passed the second year. one of the things, though, that helped with that. politicians like to be reelected. as you all may realize. and so every two years in virginia,

let's focus the civil war on the army of northern virginia. so, it starts to frame the lost cause around to the war in virginia. because longstreet has a controversial nature of various aspects of his role in the war in virginia, longstreet is not an easy fit. some of the old rivalries for command seem to come up in the postwar writings and things like that. gettysburg, of course, being the longest poll in the tent, if you will. it also frames the discussion in this way. "we weren't wrong, we were just beaten by too many men." heg street and the fact that took some the political actions that he did put himself further outside the pale. so, that -- longstreet was always a bit of an outsider anyway with his focus on lee and the army and virginia. because of what he does afterward, it just sharpens the discussion even further. as for longstreet's counsel to lee, when some people are saying we should just break up into guerrilla warfare,, he says that it is morally courageous and i think the man did his duty. this is true in a corporate setting. t

they can be accessed through the virginia memory. ages, place of birth, residence, occupation, last owners city. the names of children with the ages of each and the date of commencement with cohabitation. they are extremely important records for black virginians who are trying to document their families history. we hit the 1870 brick wall, where it is difficult to get past that because previous data did not list individual names of enslaved people. most people in the south were enslaved. one of the more interesting of these cohabitation records i looked at came from the caroline county register, which included the notation of two old people. john baptist and his wife were both 89 years old. they had been owned by joseph chandler of caroline county. they claimed to have been a couple since 1791. whether that is true or not you can't say for sure. they did have three surviving daughters. ellen age 49 and agnes at 45. it is clear this couple had been committed to each other for potentially more than seven decades before anyone legally r

this sentence effectively summarized the virginia plan. people would replace the states as the building blocks of the national republic and congress would no longer go hat in hand to the states for everything. on matters of national interest, it would either dictate to the states or deal directly with the people. aen the convention obtained quorum, it probably chose washington as president and turned to matters of rules. this is a painting or illustration made of washington at the convention. those rules adopted at the outset provided that so long as it was represented, each state would have one vote. a majority of state representative. vote -- a majority of states represented would carry a vote and secrecy would remain throughout with windows shattered and doors closed. members met day after day, six days a week for over three months. individuals came and went, and states gained and lost representation. new hampshire did not appear until late july, by which time new york had left altogether. rhode island never said -- never sent delegates
