Not in a 1000 years we have tried passive resistance in the past people got propped up people got shot everyone suster their hopes and dreams for a new Zimbabwe Mugabe inspired a nation brutalized and tortured tens of thousands of people and one of his biggest legacy was that he will lead the country into Economic Disaster i think will that be destroyed everything that could have been described and said Democratic Society in zimbabwe. Could have been the next nelson mandela. After more than 50 years of colonial british rule rhodesia known today as zimbabwe was pushing for independence from britain the British Government was prepared to work towards these with the rhodesians but only on the basis of no independence before majority rule meaning britain would not recognise rhodesia as independence before a majority rule was implement
About last thursday, we talked about gabriel conspiracy, richmond 1800, and the way it reflects the complexity of slavery. Slavery was a relationship between individuals, and it was endlessly complex. With gabriel, we saw some of the ways an enslaved person could enjoy some freedom within their bondage. Different practices of power influenced the way different people experienced slavery. Today we will talk through some of those practices of power. Our Big Questions today are broadly about this. We will come back to these questions at the end of class, questions about the way labor influence lives of enslaved people in the south, and the particular tools available to both enslaved people and slave owners in power struggles. In the early 19th century, slaveowners moved massive number of people into cotton territories. They made massive amounts of money based on the violent extraction of labor. Enslaved people worked and lived together and cultivated their own kinds of power through relat
Conspiracy and it was endlessly complex. With gabriel we saw some of the ways that an enslaved person could enjoy some kinds of freedom within their bondage. So different practices of power influenced the ways different people experienced slavery. Today well talk through some of those practices of power. Our Big Questions today are broadly about this. So well come back to these questions at the end of class, questions about the ways that labor influenced the lives of enslaved people in the south and the particular tools to enslaved people and slave owners in struggles over power. In the early 19th century slave owners moved massive numbers of enslaved people into cotton producing territories. Through physical force, slave owners compelled enslaved people to work, and they made massive amounts of money based on the violent extraction of labor. Enslaved people worked and cultivated their own kinds of power through relationships with one another. So slaves did a number of things that enab
From inside the democracy exhibit at the smith Smith National museum of American History, were joined by anthea hartig, the director of the museum. Explain that wagon behind you and how it ties into the story of womens suffrage and democracy in america. Good morning, and welcome to the year of the woman, which you could argue every year should be. This year is incredibly special for all of us in america and especially here at the smithsonian. We are banded together in celebrating the american womens History Initiative throughout the smithsonian museums, online, and through all of our activities this year. And here at the American History museum were particularly grateful to have three exhibitions opening, spurring really from this one. This is democracy in america, the great leap of faith that opened a few years ago. I am in the gallery that takes us through the long and arduous and continuing effort to expand democracy to enfranchise more and more americans. As you might know, early o
Ceo of the Wilson Center. I am a recovering politician, which is not a 12 step program, but i am absolutely delighted at the Wilson Center is hosting this event. I am looking for john milton hooper. Where is he . What are you doing in the back . For anyone who has not heard of john milton hooper, shame on you. He wrote an awardwinning biography of Woodrow Wilson, and he has been enormously hopeful to us over the years, appearing many times, but also helping us unpack some of the difficult issues around Woodrow Wilson. The subject of todays conversation. 1978, when the Wilson Center was 10 years old, we were charged by congress with creating a Hubert Humphrey fellowship in social and political thought. Good idea. The idea was that a quote, distinguished scholar, statesman, or cultural figure would deliver a lecture honoring humphreys legacy, which makes sense since he was a founding father of this place, as well as Vice President , senator, and dedicated public servant. And at times lik
