Congress. Universityrcer professor examines the life and legacy of booker t. Washington. He talks about washingtons early years at Tuskegee University and looks at the ideological platform which encouraged African Americans to establish their own economic base. Washington helped create many institutions for africanamericans, like the National Negro Business League, he also had opposition to his ideas, both during his lifetime and since. Professor fontenot compares the ideas and tactics of booker t. Washington and Martin Luther king, jr. This class is about an hour and 20 minutes. Remember we have been talking about booker t. Washington and some of you disagree that washington in fact is a seminal figure that i have insisted that he is. Because i made a statement in class that many of you disagreed with when i said washington was the most important and most influential africanamerican leader until the election of president barack obama. He is even more significant in some ways because b
Like this a chance. The president has made clear that in the absence, in the wake of the failure of congress to really give him a credible comprehensive Immigration Reform package. That he will act on his own some time between the election and the end of the year. And i assume everybodys here ready for me to tell them the details of that program, right . Okay.

And frankly, how far we need to go. And i look at some of the metrics of progress, and arne duncan probably talked to you this morning about the fact that we reduced the latino dropout rate by 50 over the last ten years.

Today nobody want to undermine the security of great. If you remember, it was related with Nuclear Weapons. If ukraine didnt have Nuclear Weapons, if you have Nuclear Weapons in hands ever irresponsible politicians, that is very dangerous. Thats why i think this is political speculations of some ukrainian politicians saying maybe we will create again Nuclear Weapon and we will be stronger. Its not so.
