Reynolds, i am the Current National ambassador for young peoples literature. Coming to you from my home in washington dc im currently in my office where i do all my work you can see the books behind me. Im also the author of stamped racism, antiracism, and you.

Perceptions of who can be president. I think he has changed about ns perceptions what the president should say, how the president should act, acceptable in that role. I do think there is a question, whether any future president acts in the same way trump does. Actually is a model president or of whether we see an effort to revert back.

Science and technology being applied to deal with them today. After that, Prime Ministers questions from the british house of commons. Then a campaign profile of joe biden. Host eric jay dolin, in your new book about hurricane history i , thought it would be interesting to start our discussion with one of the stories you tell because its the deadliest hurricane in American History and also the 120th anniversary. Eric in early september, a hurricane was fully making its way across the atlantic going inbetween cuba and florida, but the local meterologists in galveston, texas, isaac kline, based on his understanding of how hurricanes operated, he had told residents of galveston that the odds of a hurricane hitting galveston are virtually nil. The laws of hurricanes indicate that hurricanes would rarely hit texas. They were lulled into a false sense of complacency. As the hurricane got closer and closer. Isaac kline became more and more alarmed. It was really up to the Headquarters Office

The laws of hurricanes indicate that hurricanes rarely hit texas. They were lulled into a false sense of complacency. As the hurricane got closer and closer, isaac kline became more alarmed. It was really up to the Headquarters Office of the Weather Bureau in washington, d. C.
