for american history today. if you pick up the average u.s. history textbook from your high school or even university, you will see a kind of argument in that in the text about american history as an inexorable struggle towards greater levels of freedom and equality. right? you can see kind of echoes of the argument, right, in arguments about american exceptionalism. that somehow america is different from the rest of the world, and we are better. that americans are kind of innately inherently freedom loving democratic egalitarians. of his critics offered another take on the american creed, the notion that americans subscribed or had an abiding commitment to these notions of freedom and equality and democracy. they noted that myrdal demonstrated great skill in celebrating american democracy, it even as he detailed the breadth and scope of america's brand of racial apartheid. they charged that he depths ofated the between allexisted classes of whites upper-class , and working-class whites. they treated racism and

about hispanic americans in the war. with a segregated like black americans? or did they serve on a more integrated basis? host: i would add to that did african-american men serve in leadership capacities, if you could take all three? professor cassimere: it's interesting when you say combat. if you are serving, even if you are serving in support, with people firing at you, you were in combat. story of thethe messman in pearl harbor. but he did start firing a gun, the link you never fired before. officially, he was not in combat. but he was fighting. if you are in support service or medic or whatever, you were in combat. i don't have any hard percentages. my guess is the majority of african-american soldiers did not participate in combat. certainly not immediately. but as things got tougher, for example, during the battle of the bulge, they did in fact allow black soldiers to fight alongside white soldiers, something they had not done very much before. the tragedy was, those who had rank had to give up their ranks, which they did not get back, if they didn't f

african-americans. and so those stories are crucial , to the american experience in world war ii. those the stories we tell in this exhibit. the exhibit is fashioned partially in chronological ways. we begin before the war, and we tell stories during the war, and then we follow-up with the postwar stories. when the u.s. is going into world war ii, many americans are living in a segregated country. so that is how we begin the story. the segregated situation that african-americans are living under. the interwar period sees a rise in the ku klux klan activity. right here, you see an application for membership in the kkk. the 1920's saw a resurgence in klan membership. and then you see tangible evidence, segregated facility signs. we serve colored carryout only. this is from georgia. another sign from montgomery, alabama. this is the life faced by african-americans, many of whom would shortly volunteer or enlist in the american military. so although african-americans served in every major american conflict

so a lot of americans buy used stuff. americans are not going to quit shopping. americans are not going to quit buying, but it would be nice if americans could control how much they paid in tax, rather than having the government reach into their pockets and take it out before they had a chance to see it, much less spend it. and that's why the fair tax makes a heck of a lot more sense than punishing productivity and rewarding irresponsibility. moderator: thank you, governor huckabee. moderator: governor jindal, you proposed something different, eliminating the federal corporate income tax entirely. why would have you wage earners and investors pay a income tax and not a corporation. >> we know big companies don't pay the taxes. they hire lobbyists and accountants and lawyers so the small businesses get hit. i want to get rid of the corporate tax, bring jobs and investment back to america. make the ceos pay the same arraignments as everybody else. get rid of the corporate welfare as well. and make everybody pay something, earned success is so much better than unear

and that's why so many americans have embraced the blue, white, and red, and that's why americans at candlelight vigils have joined together to sing. we have never forgotten how the french stood with us after 9/11. and today we stand with you. [ speaking french ] it has been noted that the terrorist did not direct their attacks against the french government or military, rather they focused their violence on the very spirit of france, and by extension on all liberal democracies. this was an attack on our free and open societies. where people come together to celebrate and sing and compete and targeting venues where people come together from around the world, killing citizens of nearly 20 countries, including america. this was an attack on the very idea that people of different races and religions and backgrounds can live together in peace. in short, this was not only a strike against one of the world's great cities. it was an attack against the world itself. it's the same madness that has slaughtered the innocent from nigeria to the sinai, from lebanon to iraq. it is a scourge that th

of the american people. the president's huge blunder, in my view, is going overseas and criticizing folks here at home who have raised genuine concerns over the safety of americans -- america under this policy. for me i'll be quite clear. when the f.b.i. director stands up and says he cannot assure the safety of the american people, that stirian refugees cannot be vetted that ends the conversation for the moment. we cannot allow ourselves at a time of great peril, to put ourselves in peril because they are some people who believe it will make our country look better. -- here around the world, i have a large muslim-american population in my state. i think it is the second-largest in any state in the nation, he -- behind michigan. and what i'll tell you that muslim-americans are not nearly s sensitive, not nearly as sensitive as some of the people in places in here in washington or the white house believe they are. they're muslim americans and they understand that the safety of their families are at risk. just

yes, saudi arabia, they managed to influence the american white house, the american position because in your country -- this is the problem. until now, the american policy in the middle east is a complete shambles. there is still policy, honestly. until six month ago, they said we should give the priority of rooting out the islamic state. ok, great. and now because of the saudi, turkish influence a set, no risk of future for assad in the political process. where is this political process? as it started? why didn't start five years ago when the problem started in syria? where we waiting until now? you had five years to sorted out and you did not sort it out. amy: it is not -- >> sorry. themy: it is not only that u.s. is working with saudi arabia, i mean, they just sealed the largest weapon still in history with saudi arabia. >> yes, you're absolutely right. there is a history there. the problem is, when they were feeding radicalism and introducing -- as a puritan into rotation of islam and sharia law, they refused to work with them. they worked with them in afghanistan and it was very

americans. many japanese-americans were gathered up, 120,000 by some estimates. fred korematsu said this was not right. peter irons is a civil rights attorney. he has written more than 10 books. in the course of researching his book on this case, he found proof that the government uses tainted evidence to convict fred korematsu. thank you for being here. korematsu is fred's daughter. she continues to fight for his legacy. karen: education and civil rights. educating the general public. peter: the issue is whether the government could single out a group of people based on their race. they put them literally in concentration camps. without any sort of due process. underr this was justified the government's powers as they asserted them. fromotect the country potential espionage or sabotage .y members of this group it was issue that very few people were aware of at the time. especially away from the west coast. there was a lot of suspicion. they thought the japanese-americans might support japan. th

americans, i really do mean most americans, even the enslaved. given that context, mitchell must have known that rights have little power in local venues. so for her to be talking about rights, rights she could claim in a criminal case, missed the mark. so what did she mean? catch of that question we need to explore the legal system of the early 19th century. before we do that we need to know to bring things in the early 19th century that are different from the situation today. legal authorities is a federal government and state was limited. be later, but not now. the federal government was a distant entity for most people. military service, military pensions, the campaigns for federal office, and prosaically, the postal service. people are more likely to encounter the legal authority of state. states protected the rights of individuals in the tour responsible for maintaining public order all stop but they delegated significant power to counties and in its appellate to and matters involving the maintenance of public order. was being done right. t

japanese-americans were sent to assembly centers. this illustrates how the japanese-americans were only what they could carry. here we have these two young girls, who they could carry their suitcases. reiko and her sister were from hollywood and ended up in heart mountain, wyoming. they did not know there was supposed to bring warm clothing for cold weather. meant you could carry what you could bring, you can see these japanese-americans evacuating from the elk grove train station, but you could see the mandate -- of the mother could only carry her child and perhaps a diaper bag. she was not able to carry anything other than her child. we see here a document from a manager of the homeowner assembly center. a race track in southern california. numbervacuation release 18. in this document, he was talking about what families of mixed marriages should expect. if they are referring too many times caucasian women were married to men of japanese dissent -- descent. they were not forced to go to the incarceration centers. they were faced wit

in the 1970s, sales of japanese cars in the north american market soared, american automaker's profits disappeared, and the red ink forced massive layoffs and plant closings. but a geographer's review of the auto industry's struggles reveals a surprising insight into the state of making cars in north america. in recent decades, global competition and the japanese auto manufacturers have had a tremendous impact on the industrial landscape of the american midwest. dr. james rubenstein is an economic geographer at miami unirsity in ohio. for the past ten years, he's been tracking the spread of japanese automobile production techniques. rubenstein: one of the results of having a global production system now in the auto industry-- a handful of producers working around the world-- is a diffusion of the technology from one area to another. the principal direction of diffusion has been from japan to north america, particularly in the 1980s and still continuing in the 1990s. narrator: japanese automakers owe their lasting success not to good gas mileage, but to a revolutionary manufacturing tec

with american government backing. they worked out a plan to receive materials from the british foreign offices and other government agencies and the americans would microfilm them for the american and british intelligence. by the end of april 1942, much to everyone's relief, the first 2000 feet of microfilm arrived in washington. by this time, plans had been set in motion to send a group of american librarians, book collectors, documentation specialists micro photographers , and academics to neutral cities around the world. microfilm these materials. the most famous of these people is john fairbanks, the founder of china studies here in the united states. my own connection to this story and the route by which i got into this massive research project is that, a relative of mine was also one of these agents sent to acquire intelligence material at this time in lisbon. unfortunately, i don't have many pictures because it was intelligence. [laughter] i'll tell you a little bit about the stockholm and lisbon operation. the

the american public isn't confused. the president is running it. >> sometimes perception is more important reality. and the perception became that jimmy carter made one big mistake after another. ok, we're here. here's dad. mom. the twins. aunt alice... you didn't tell me aunt alice was coming. of course. don't forget grandpa. can the test drive be over now? maybe just head back to the dealership? don't you want to meet my family? yep, totally. it's practically yours, but we still need your signature. hurry in for great deals all black friday weekend on select new volkswagen models during the sign- then-drive event. and i didn't get here alone. there were people who listened along the way. people who gave me options. kept me on track. and through it all, my retirement never got left behind. so today, i'm prepared for anything we may want tomorrow to be. every someday needs a plan. let's talk about your old 401(k) today. just serve classy snacks and bew a gracious host,iday party. no matter who shows up.

the american way of death. stay with us, it's "inside story." inside story." >> welcome do "inside story," i'm ray suarez. the mortality rate for middle-aged whites fell, and fell substantially from 1978 to 1998. starting in 1999, something curious happened, those gains changed direction for whites with a high school diploma or less. for the first does years in the new century, their mortality rates rose by a shocking 22%. yes, we had a terribly destructive recession, and whites with less education suffered worse than their peers with education, but hispanics and blacks didn't see similar increases in death rates. my guests are still with me, and dr. chinni, when you see a lot of journalism, and there has been a ton of it in the last ten years, about the alienation and anger and loss, i read that story, the first draft of it on the research, about. >> yes, i spent a lot of my time and the question we have all had, what's going on? there's something different going on this year. on the republican side in particular, the democratic side, more on t

john: is the american dream still alive? it is hard to be optimistic walking around this conference because so many people here are promoting buying gold and savings like sleep that night knowing your assets are safe. they have a point because politicians keep promising people free stuff and so much more than taxpayers could never find that these paper dollars your someday may be worth pennies the fed was created the dollar lost 96% of its value proposal i've bought gold and silver. i know they will hold their value more than pieces of paper. except so far i have lost money on my investments. how many of you have invested in gold? [applause] unless you bought it way back you have not done so well so when will inflation explode? it is still low. who knows these predictions are risky and has to explode some time because there's not enough money. but the pessimism about america's future is a bad bet even two-day people steady signal sent text books but he taught although the american economy approaches so the growth the plan th

betty: the american public still have a mistrust of the chinese. a pew center poll recently said 54% of americans view china unfavorably. how does the president plan to change that perception? mr. yang: the results of opinion polls vary from time to time and from place to place. my understanding of american society is that there is a deep awareness of the importance of nurturing better relationship between our two countries. so i believe that the american people attach a great deal of importance to the visit. of course, we have had some early harvest of this new model of the relationship between us. for instance, the trade between the two countries has grown quite a bit, and there are more student exchanges between us. and on the international scene, there has been good coordination between china and the united states, from the middle east to some parts of africa. from afghanistan to the korean peninsula. so a better relationship is in the interest of both of our peoples and the world. of course, a relationship cannot be free from any problems. eve

but how american is that? to want to stay behind because, you know, you just want to stay with your girlfriend and just be -- be an american. that's all he ever wanted to do. >> how did he get arrested? >> it was on a street corner in san leandro, california, which is a suburb next to oakland in the francisco bay area. he was supposed to meet his girlfriend on the corner that day. he went into a corner store to buy cigarettes and he thinks he was spotted, somebody recognized him. so he was on the corner. and then all of a sudden the san leandro police showed up and said something to him like, have you seen any short japanese guys around here? and my father says no. then the military police came and that was it. then they took him first to the san leandro jail and then to oakland and then the federal jail in san francisco. they didn't know what to do with him. >> so what are the important things to know about fred korematsu's initial steps with the law? >> well, the initial steps were very rudimentary, to say t

that's what african-americans see. if the over 800 people killed in the last year in chicago, over 4500 shot, another 25 involved in shootings over there, and nothing is gone. when you got rahm emanuel saying take it to the alley ways to the gangs, that's where the kids are getting killed. and paint one broad brush for all the cops. charles: let's bring in rod. >> charles, let me chime in. bo, i have to repeat what you just said, it's the truth. where was rahm emanuel when all of the 400 black people were killed over the past couple of years? he was nowhere around, and what he is doing is pandering to the african-american community, and eric, you need to realize that, and i think a lot of african-americans are realizing that now, and that's why we are taking a close look at some of the republican candidates. >> go ahead, eric. >> i've always been into the voters. i've never believed in straight democratic or republican voting. you have to vote for the right candidate. in reference to saying stay away from the democrati

of the american people. if that policy is not seen as being in the american interest, it is unlikely to have the broad support of the american people. blunder, int's huge my view, is going overseas and criticizing people at home who concernsed genuine over the safety of americans under this policy. one of the fbi director stands up and says he cannot assure the safety of the american people, that ends the conversation for the moment. we cannot allow ourselves at a time of great peril, to put ourselves in peril because they believe itople who will make our country look better. i have a large muslim american population in my state. i think it is the second-largest in any state in the nation, he had michigan. americans are not nearly that sensitive. not nearly as sensitive as some of the people in places in here in washington or the white house believe they are. they are muslim americans and the safetytand that of their families are at risk. catholics and buddhists are at risk. this is common sense. i know the

is in, "an american dilemma." he was a swedish sociologist who then was contracted by the carnegie commission to write a study of race relations in the 1940's. in 1944, he produced this magisterial, epic study of american race relations, called, "an american dilemma." it is 1088 pages. it is one of the finest , comprehensive studies of american relationships ever published. worked with a bevy of academics to discuss a variety of aspects of the south, including the biological and social foundations of race. he published population statistics and trends. he explored the institution of slavery and the evolution of the southern planter economy. he looked at the economic conditions and social stratification of african-american communities. he explored white, southern politics. detailed studies of the justice system, the police, prisons and jails. he looked at the problem of violence in the south. he explored at the problem of segregation, equality, and looked at a variety of different institutions in african american c

an acritic-130 gunship was called in by the american ground commander. the gunship was given the coordinates of the government building, but its targeting system zeroed in on an open field instead. the air crew visually identified the closest structure that resembled the government building they were supposed to strike. they did not know it, but that building was in fact the hospital run by doctors without borders. before opening fire, the gunship provided the coordinates of the target to a command center at bagram airfield. the command center knew those coordinates belonged to the hospital, which was on a no strike list, but nobody put two and two together. the gunship opened fire. someone from doctors without borders called bagram to report the attack, but by the time the command center realized the mistake, the gunship had already ceased fire. all this happened at a time when the american combat role in afghanistan had supposedly ended, and under the new rules of engagement, the american ground commander did not even have the authority to call in that
