got together with a up-and-coming legal scholar by the name of albert levitt of the george washington university. he was already working on trying to secure women's rights in certain areas. they got together in the spring in 1921 to figure out what to do to resolve these issues around women's rights, and i just want to say at first so they came to the idea of pursuing an additional constitutional amendment, but at first this additional constitutional amendment was really more of like a clarifying amendment to really kind of clarify what women's rights should be going forward so wasn't at this point. embracing the complete constitutional equality that you would see in the era later on so albert levitt actually wrote the first draft of this clarifying amendment. it was very lengthy and he literally wrote every single right that they were trying to get for women like the right to serve on juries hold public office have an independent nationality status things of that nature and at that point things really just took off alice paul really wanted this drafting process to be collaborative an

i have a lot of problem with the discourse and the uncivil nature of the discourse in washington, dc, and, frankly, across this country. i don't think that you can blame guns, on the one hand, for it, i don't think that you can blame a particular member of congress for that discourse. speaker pelosi stood behind the president during a state of the union address that millions of americans watched, an address that's critical to our democracy, and she ripped up the president's speech. that certainly isn't civil discourse, that certainly doesn't. .. right, congressman, ican... ..something not violent. right, i can assure you, congressman, we put tough questions to democrats and republicans on this show. the question for you as a republican is, if donald trump runs again — and one of his key advisers, jason miller, says it's 99% certainly he will — are you prepared to support a man, donald trump, who clearly has nothing but disdain and contempt for america's democratic system? well, again, donald trump doesn't have disdain and contempt for america's political system. donald trump and y

well, first, there is a washington _ forward? well, first, there is a washington post _ forward? well, first, there is a washington post poll - forward? well, first, there isj a washington post poll which finds that americans support roe vs wade 2—to—1. so there is a very strong support for a woman's right to choose, whether to have an abortion or not. if the supreme court finds the mississippi law is constitutional, then if this is now a state law, federal law is very restricted. it would essentially be congress passing a law telling states that you cannot have a law which bans abortion, but then that will be abortion, but then that will be a separation of powers problem. they will come back and say, no, the court said we could. 0k, a decision that has far—reaching implications. thank you very much indeed. we have to leave it there.— have to leave it there. thank ou. for months, china has been probing taiwan's airspace, leading to speculation it could be preparing to attack or even invade the island. all of this has raised concerns among asian and american officials of i

first too, protect washington. objective two, defend the shenandoah valley and objective three, defend the pennsylvania railroad. by accomplishing these objectives and particularly the vital rebel rail rink with the shenandoah valley, they hope it would compel the confederates around washington d.c. and opposite mcclellan's army, that they would pull away from mcclellan and it would ease mcclellan 's way into the city of richmond. stanton says he's been called east to carry out these objectives. it's at this point in the conversation that stanton stops talking and they just look at each other. and there's this long, awkward silence. stanton finally says to pope, general, you don't seem to approve the arrangements i have outlined to you. pope responds, mr. secretary, i entirely concur in the wisdom of concentrating these wide-scattered forces and using them generally as you proposeple pose. but i do not view the favor of placing me in command of them. the title of tonight's presentation is john pope's reluctant rise

i should say in the "washington post." it accused him of verbally and emotionally abusing his players. the "washington post" reports throughout one game coach burke berated a rookie until she appeared to have a panic attack on the field, clutching her chest because she couldn't breathe. as she hyperventilated burke just kept going, a former player said quoting her, "when he smells blood, he goes harder. the reaction from players was outrage. the players union demanding an end to what it calls systemic abuse plaguing the nwsl. u.s. women's national team captain becky sauerbrunn said, "to be where we are today is unacceptable the league and every club have to do better." and the superstar megan rapinoe tweeted, "men protecting men who are abusing women. burn it all down let all their heads roll." with us now the author of that "washington post" piece sports investigations reporter molly hensley clancy molly, from your reporting how widespread is this kind of behavior and why haven't we been hearing about it screaming from th

breaking short his summer holiday, president biden flew into washington dc on monday to answer the charge that he had overseen a majorforeign policy disaster for afghanistan, and perhaps the world. he admitted that events over the past week had caught his government by surprise, but he was in no mood to apologise. we gave them every tool they could need. we paid their salaries, provided for the maintenance of their air force. we gave them every chance to determine their own future. mr biden said the buck stopped with him. but... i am left again to ask of those who argue that we should stay, how many more generations of america's daughters and sons would you have me send to fight afghanistan's civil war? as he spoke, thousands of miles away the taliban, armed and confident, had taken control of the streets of kabul, now able to walk in unopposed to government buildings. they are the government now. for many it's a nightmare. it's worse than what i thought, because they are searching to our addresses. and it's not only my life, but also my family life right now is in danger. we are facing m

. >> reporter: senators are back in washington over the weekend. they'd hoped that they would be able to finish this bipartisan infrastructure bill this weekend. what we now are seeing is that senator bill hagerty, a republican from the state of tennessee, is digging in his heels, not allowing this bill to move any faster through the u.s. senate. he says that he is going to require the senate to exhaust the entire amount of debate time. what that means for people back home, instead of seeing this bill pass over the weekend, you can expect that this debate is going to go into early next week. that is, of course, if they can't get some kind of consensus and convince hagerty to pull back on his threat. so at this point the expectation is this bipartisan infrastructure bill is going to pass, it's a matter of when it passes, not if it passes. but it's going to take a little bit more time. after that, democrats are hoping to move forward with their democratic-only budget bill. then they will have a vote on voting rights legislation. then they will depart

joining us from washington, only on "cbs this morning." good morning. >> good morning, norah. >> should deborah ramirez, the new kavanaugh accuser, be allowed to testify? >> if she would like to, she can certainly contact the chairman of the senate judiciary committee. they have a process in place. obviously they've mailed tremendous unpress dentsed accommodations for miss ford to testify on thursday. judge kavanaugh has been willing to testify publicly to what he has said privately under oath from day one. less than 24 hours after he was made aware of the identity of miss ford, he said he would raise histestify add to his 30-plus hours of testimony. i thought that his comment last night about the second so-called accuser is incredibly instructor. he's calling this a smear campaign. indeed, starting to feel like a vast left wing conspiracy. "the new york times" said they interviewed dozens of people over the last couple weeks, trying to verify the second accusation. they couldn't go ford with the reporting. not because they're supportive o

whereas in 1913 white women had unsuccessfully sought to keep black women out of washington dc's national suffrage parade a decade later. they tried to fix them permanently in a subordinate though ostensibly celebrated position on a monument in the nation's capital to make sense of this. i'll be taking a couple of steps back in time from 1923. first let's go back to 1894. that is the year when the united dotters of the confederacy was founded the udc raised funds to build confederate memorials and not coincidentally they often placed loyal slave plaques side by the confederate memorials. these celebrations of the loyalty of formerly enslaved people implied that they had been happier in subordination. we're still unequal and so should be segregated and treated as inferiors. in addition to these loyal slave plaques many formal monuments to faithful slaves were proposed three were actually built including the faithful slave monument in fort mill, south carolina. noting the timeline of 1895 including the udc's 1894 founding it really exposes the untruths of those who describe confederate monu

she is one who you know, we saw doing an awful lot of work with the march on washington and one of the few women who got some recognition for her leadership. how does she fit into your into your narrative? well, thank you so much for introducing dorothy hyde into this because she does exemplify. i think a strand a thread of this story which is to say that importantly for black women, especially coming out of the jim crow era politics is never reducible to voting or to holding office and this is something that dorothy high. he knows not only knows well practices. well, i think in the tradition of a mary mcleod bethune understanding that relationships of politics relationship of patronage relationships in washington that grow out of civil rights organizations on is has always been and continues to be for black americans in essential fac. of how black women do politics and make politics and for those of you who may not know. dorothe. i think that's precisely why she's in some ways to me akin to a diane nash right? she is an architect. she is a strategist she is a woman with extraordinary

now the united states is one of the world's leading nations when it comes to covert 19 vaccinations washington ordered a large number of doses early on and the bite and ministration has ramped up distribution since the start of the year the u.s. is a large country but already 20 percent of all adults are now fully vaccinated and that is more than $62000000.00 people among them nearly half of americans over the age of 65 to give you a comparison across the european union only 5.3 percent of adults have received both shots president joe biden expects to have enough vaccine doses for all adults in the u.s. by the end of may his administration says americans will be inoculated 1st before the country shares its shots with others did it he's all over salad has more. had a university campus in los angeles u.s. army soldiers are now fighting an invisible enemy their weapons of choice. loaded with a bio and pfizer vaccine. just for fun. you share is about to receive her 2nd child to go on and. she is now one of her own 50000000 fully vaccinated americans makes me feel very grateful that we here i mean

kathryn graham's father purchased "the washington post" and her husband ultimately became the publisher. upon his death, she became heavily involved in the day-to-day operations of the newspaper. we include her because it was her decision to publish the pentagon papers and then to break the watergate story. >> you may wonder how we got from my paper timeline to our book. well, i used to take that scotch taped together timeline to many venues around denver as i taught classes for the women's vision leadership institute and one occasion i was presenting before the board, joan miller was there, a senior vp, and she looked around the room at those scotch-taped pieces of paper and just shaking her head and she said, charlotte, honey, computers have come a long way. [ laughter ] we really can do better than this. and they did. our vision was converted into a beautiful visual display and we showed that display in quite a number of places. because we had that display in hand, we were able to attract interest from the woman who became our book agent. and it enabled her to sell the book to harper

they moved to washington dc and gardner becomes the suffragist lead negotiator in washington. this is a picture of her from that time. she lived next door to the speaker of the house of representatives champ clark. she charmed her way until the wilson white house and became a welcome daily presence at the wilson white house this suffragists who converted wilson to the federal amendment and to help negotiate its passage in congress her colleagues in the national american women's soccer association called gardener. they're diplomatic core and said she was the most potent factor in congressional passage. of this leads her to being as francis mentioned in the introduction the highest ranking woman in federal government. this is her being sworn in as civil service commissioner. in the spring of 1920 several months before most women especially white women not women of color and especially not black women in the south which is something i hope we'll talk about during our discussion. this is when gardeners being sworn in as the highest ranking woman in federal government, but what i r

vernon from the washington family. but during the war union troops decided that they wanted that money for themselves. of course, sarah tracy refused and decided that she was going to move this money out of burke and herbert banks into riggs bank in washington, d.c. she had to do this very covertly. she took the money out of the bank and put the money in the bottom of the basket and put eggs on the top of the basket. she went into washington, d.c. she met with mr. riggs where she sold these eggs to riggs and made sure the transaction was legitimate because she received a receipt for the sale of these eggs. thanks to sarah tracy and the movement of this money, we are still able to visit and enjoy mt. vernon today. not only were women nurses and entrepreneurs and having jobs and selling items, but women were also soldiers during the war. however, they had to do this in a disguise. it was entirely frowned upon for women to join the war as soldiers, so that's why they had to dress up in men's uniforms. so, women would dres

she would play an important role in several states including washington in 1910. >> washington's importance in the national suffrage effort comes by the fact that we were the first state in the 20th century and followed almost a 20-year lag between states adopting their own suffrage amendment, and it takes a certain number of states to pass a national amendment to the constitution and we were the fifth state, and all of the first states, the first of about six were located here in the west, and washington became a pivotal state making that leap into the 20th century, and after we passed it in 1910, there was a domino effect across the country. immediately oregon passed it in 1911 followed by california and then moved to the dakotas, nebraska, montana, and then progressed across to new york in 1919 and then of course the national amendment passes in 1920. so you could call us a big turning point in the effort to gain suffrage for women in the united states. in 1848, the big event that began the suffrage movement, however, did happen in new york. that was the women's convention in seneca fall

this one here in washington d.c., from 1913. it was one of the most consequential marches that was staged. women, more than 5000 suffragists participated in the march. it was held the day before woodrow wilson's purse first presidential inauguration. i hope that you can see here, this is all of the space that these women had to march a pennsylvania avenue. this photograph is actually digitized from a congressional hearing that was held after the march was over. because, the police did not do too much to control the crowd. the suffragists could barely make their way through the crowds at points, and they faced verbal, harassment even some instances of assault as well. as they marched through the unfriendly crowds. and the police argued that there is too many people, so they couldn't possibly keep the crowds back, but of course, as you can see here there is plenty of room, they could have opened the way for these women to march peacefully for the rights. one of the women that we know who participated in that marge is murray baldwi

plus these $600.00 we apparently already gave you but nobody remembers getting stimulus checks the washington post is now reporting that quote the latest proposal democrats are considering would send 14 $100.00 payments to individuals earning $50000.00 or less and $2800.00 to married couples earning $100000.00 or less and that while no final proposal has been released democrats have explored basing eligibility for the stimulus payments on prior year income meaning you're more than likely getting a stimulus check if you made 50000 or less in 201-9020 which i guess is like your doctor basing your cancer treatment on the year before you actually got cancer so my friends let's strangle ourselves as we pull ups ourselves up by our bootstraps and dive in to the u.s. government's very begrudging attempts to help its own citizens as we start. watching all. she wanted was on a cd you st you want to. be so let's see the price is joyce state police traced graves suggests least systemic deception is a leak so which is why would some big deal. welcome everyone to watching the harks i robot and i'm across

but checks to see if it makes us people here the means testing thing but it's basically like washington's way of kind of saying we need to test everything and figure out everything works instead of just making something happen right away for all americans correct. 100 percent correct it's frustrating because i do think the democrats have done it many cases a level best effort to try to make this happen the structure from the republicans is real i think that in your opening you described it very well with honestly people who solved the militia checks from the top administration and year ago are going to see if the militia checks now based on that based on the way that this is now set up specifically with the income levels that have now been established which are quite different so there are many folks who received stimulus checks who very much needed them last go round who still need them now who will not ever see that it. just. people wonder why i don't have a lot of hair on my head anymore. in your wildest dreams private companies create their own local governments sounds pretty bizarre

she went into washington, d.c., met with mr. rakes, where she sold the eggs, and she made sure the transaction was legitimate because she received a receipt for the transaction of the eggs. thanks to sarah tracy, we are still able to enjoy and visit mount vernon today. not only were women nurses, entrepreneurs, having jobs, selling items, but women were also soldiers in the war. they had to do this in a disguise. it was frowned upon for women to join the war as soldiers. that is why they had to dress up in men's uniforms. women would dress up on either side of the work, both confederacy and the union, as soldiers so they could fight among their brothers, husbands, family, and also fight for the cause of the war. one woman in particular is sarah edmonds. she also went by frank thomas. she was very open about being a woman soldier, especially after the war, and after the work she would dress in traditionally men and women's clothing. we know there were women that served during the war, but those are the ones we know about. there i

and george washington. this statue of three white women is just one part of the story. it's not the whole story which includes centuries of labor by black and white and latina and asian and indigenous activist. this struggle for recognition mirrors the battles we continue to fight today, two centuries after the women's suffrage movement begin, a lack of representation of women's place in history prevents us from moving forward on gender equality issues today, from wage gap, to reproductive freedom, to representation boardrooms and government. if america can't recognize our past contributions, how can america respect our present significance? we won't achieve full gender equality until generations of girls and boys have the opportunity to see the complete picture of women's accomplishments, historic feats and innovations which represent half of our nation's story. not only today as woman but as a latina, 80% of americans identify as american latinos, the largest minority ethnic group in the country. as dr. rudy acuna wrote, history is not supposed to be ideological. it i
