created boston. salem was the first of the colony, it is where it all starts. and sometimes in the process of selling over or shortly afterwards, he gives his famous sermon, a model of christian charity. he has the famous words, we shall be as a city upon a hill in the eyes upon the hill are upon us. in many ways, salem is the city upon the hill. it is the shining example. metaphorically, physically, this is it, the start of the puritan experiment in massachusetts bay. it is supposed to be a place where people walk hand-in-hand with each other and with god and live in peace and harmony. and i think maybe that is part of the answer as to why we remember the salem witch trial and why we will never forget them because think of this tremendous fall from grace from this ideal of 1630, 1692, 62 years later while people who are still alive, who heard winthrop give the sermon, daughters are accusing mothers, neighbors are accusing neighbors of being witches in the colony, the puritan experiment is being torn

it looks like boston gets its first brothel. the characteristics of colonial cities, london our sometime. but puritan boston gets a brothel, prostitution, this is horrifying to a lot of people. occasionally, there are dancing classes being offered. the puritans were not keen on dancing, especially between unmarried couples. there are actually some pieces of evidence that you could look at and say, maybe this is becoming a non-diverse society. maybe there is something to that theme. probably the most horrific episode for pastors in new england in the late 1600s for sure is the salem witchcraft crisis. home -- we read a document about this. the salem witchcraft crisis is horrific for the leaders in new england first and foremost for them because they see it as a great attack by satan on their society. the puritans believed they had a high calling from god, so they believe of course, so that is -- satan is going to break out against us. that is how they saw what happened what happened in 1692. that satan had raised up a cohort of w

they defeated the incumbent democrat who was popular in boston. nobody disliked him in boston, the eight it was the states only majority minority district and on the issues they were exactly the same, but it was a matter of who did this district wants to see go to washington to represent them. she had the energy and she was a black woman and that was a phase thephasethey wanted to send to . i think we are seeing some of that even in the races that don't involve the candidates of color we are seeing the power of the minority vote particularly. they were horrified at the idea of the issue i think people are understanding the power of the voters in a way that they've haneglected in the past. on the other hand when you talk about the low turnout among the people of color that is also a problem because one complaint i hear from voters of color is you are not coming and reaching out to us but they come to us when you need us but in a crisis we come through for you but all the rest of the time when therees is no into political crisis, you don't and that

i did work in iowa, tennessee, florida, boston, all over. what i was looking for, thinking in terms of probability . i was thinking most of the research that has been done are the whiskers, the outliers. i was trying to get as clear a picture as i could of what was inside the box. i made a decision that i wasn't so interested in the iww, and what would've been called the aggressive pro-irish. i was more interested in the center. i wanted to look for publications aiming at the center and accepting that i was going to have to generalize and paint a lot of great instead of using the entire palette. i am sure there are specialists that can give a lot more detail than i could but i was trying to do as much as i could. i did not want to study pittsburgh which would've been the easiest thing to do. you can make the argument to come back that you are only doing a study and it is it representative. i decided to do it the hard way. >> thank you for your talk. i would like you to address a bit on the pacifist movement. i didn't hear you speaking about

abc's gio benitez is in boston with more on this. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, cecilia, good morning. yeah, we're in south boston or southie and you see this building right here, it used to be triple o's lounge. it's where so many of bulger's shakedowns happened and this morning it is a far cry from the prison where he was killed. this morning, new reports that notorious gangster whitey bulger may have been killed in a mob hit. one of the alleged attackers thought by many to be 51-year-old mob hit man freddy geas who is serving a life sentence including the murder of another mob boss, big al bruno. a private investigator saying freddie hated rats and that since bulger was an fbi informant his murder was not a surprise. according to "the new york times," bulger was found severely beaten. officials telling the paper he was attacked with a padlock stuffed inside a sock. >> you're going to be responding to the maximum security. they advise cpr in progress. >> reporter: bulger's violent past included at least 11 murders, spending

boston. nobody disliked mike capuano in boston but the state's only majority minority district and on the issues they were exactly the same, but it was a matter of who did this district want to see go to washington to represent them, and she had the energy, she was a black woman, and that was the face they wanted to send to congress. i think we are seeing some of that. at the same time. even in races that don't involve a candidate of color, we're seeing the power of the minority vote, particularly minority women. i think a great example is the special election in alabama where everybody was shocked the next day when women of color, black women, came out in droves because they were horrified at the idea of -- it wasn't a racial issue. the top issue was the fact this -- voting against the candidate who was accused of really horrific crimes against underage women and that motivate black voter: when wore talking but low turn-route month people of color, that's a problem because one complaint i he
