from jefferson's point if these are external authorities have a tie to virginia for virginia's convenience. so if he famously said also in the declaration of independence, if the people decide that the foreign government, he actually called them our foreign government at one point, if the foreign government is not serving the purposes we hoped that we are entitled to replace it. he said that about the federal government, he had this idea throughout. people familiar with his political career will know there were times when jefferson nearly led his political party into a violent resistance to federal policy, the most famous instance came in 1790 when he organized resistance to what i think it was violent resistance to the -- act of 1978. his vision of this relationship between the central authority in virginia, i don't think changed at all. if you compare the argument he made in 1825 in his argument madison which covered resolutions he had written that he wanted the general assembly to adopt if you compare those resolutions to what he said about the british king and parliament 1774 you'll no

that's the historic core of the university of virginia. to the right of that, you can see the big dome of the old university hall, that was pulled to the very 60's. thecan see what is becoming 21st century skyline of charlottesville. we are experiencing a tremendous boom in development. it's a good problem to have, but it is still a challenge. >> we have this great aerial view of downtown. should we had there now? >> yeah, let's go to the heart of downtown. we are driving into downtown charlottesville through the old belmont neighborhood, which started here in the 1890's. that is downtown charlottesville. our humble skyline, you can see the pavilion, which is at the east end of the downtown mall, the outdoor music venue. headingoing to be towards the very top of the old monticello hotel, from 1925. that is on historic court square where we will go. oft is the original heart the town of charlottesville. >> he mentioned the downtown mall. downtowne showpiece of . >> that is our postcard view, the downtown mall. mallottesville pedestrian was

that is what the university of virginia was about. as far as jefferson was concerned, james madison was just as much involved in the project that became the university of virginia believed that uva was the insurance policy for the american revolution and that it would be here on the grounds of the university where the flame of the enlightenment would burn brighter than anywhere else in the world. >> the university of virginia today has gone from an academic village to an academical city with over 20000 students compared to many other significant universities that is still relatively a medium-size university, but it is quite big and sprawling today across much of what we consider the west end of charlottesville. >> so we have seen monticello, we've driven to the not downtown and now in the university grounds. thinking back on the city that you have lived for 30 years, what would you like to see for the future? what is your ideal dream for charlottesville? >> i know charlottesville will continue to experience tremendous growth which hav

but this is about the commonwealth of virginia and it's virginia voters who will go to the polls on june 13th. >> reporter: corey stewart, he identified as an anti-establishment republican. he weighed in on this idea of a clinton sanders style democratic primary, if you will. now, he says that no matter which side of the aisle you're on, that voters want anti-establishment candidates. lieutenant governor north um responded to this as well. >> people are tired of the establishment. whether it's the democratic or the republican establishment. that's why voters chose donald trump in 2016 because he was the anti-establishment, and r hillary clinton because she was the democratic establishment. so that's why i believe that the anti-establishment tom perry ello will win and on the republican side, that's me, i'm going to be able to win on the republican side. >> i'd be glad to talk to him after june 13th and i think he will be wrong. >> reporter: who do you think that virginia governors are going to identify with? looking for anti-establishment or looking for an establishment candidate? we lov

they fought for virginia. virginians fighting for virginia. furthermore we speak of the lost cause, but the monument makers do not. i found only two mentions of that phrase among 400 monuments i studied in virginia. i found none at all of among the 400 in tennessee, and i found only one in mississippi? did they lose? that depends. of all things, arguably, it is irrelevant. the outcome is not the issue. even the cause is not the issue. the greensville courthouse monument declares that. " greenville county's soldiers fought in defense of rights they believed sacred. they took up arms against invaders of virginia. i love that phrase, because i'm one of them. [laughter] dr. sedore: invaders of virginia. the glory dies not and the grief is passed. we use the term the american civil war to define 1861 to 1865, but the monument makers define the conflict as "the war between the states." the phrase "the civil war" is rarely used in the virginia monuments a few times in tennessee, a very few times in mississippi. the official term is the war of the reb

similar incidents occurred in virginia, including charlottesville, until the 1970's. can there be coexistence of black-and-white history makers? -- civilhts monuments rights does not always mean civility. -- despite stoked by vandalism and counter threats. statues are built to last forever. the cost of removal or restoration can run six figures. on the last page of this tedious two-volume memoir -- and probably really african i can mail who ever read jefferson davis' two volume memoir cover to cover -- [laughter] on the last page, he conceded the union -- "make it into her forever." the confederacy has now the rossetto history, neo-confederatism is waging the war on social media. between march 2016 and march, an online petition by a virginia white female resident, the town motto is "confederate pride," she obtained 8000 signatures towards her 10,000 goal. that 89%. the students positioned received 730 signatures towards its 1000 goal. although i'm a neighbor of black fuel mathematicians in the 2016 movie hidden figures, my inadequate math certainly suggests that a nea

i was in farmville, virginia. ofe of you have heard farmville, virginia. --you have any history connection to the history of schools. it is in prince edward county. it is now the home of the mouton museum, which is built out of the buildings of mouton high school, which is one of the schools that contributed to brown versus board of education. i am not good with technology. they told me it is so easy. i'm going to start with a story about barbara johns. knows who she is? you should know. 16 wentng lady at age to mouton high school in prince edward county and it was the black high school. there was a fancy new white --ool in town and she was some people say she was the beginning of the civil rights movement. she was the first student led case that became part of brown versus board of education. that wasto the school serving 400 some students when it was built for 200. it was obsolete really almost before it was built. tarpaperd essentially shacks. essentially chicken coops covered with tarpaper to be able to expand the school. they were working with used te

it was the best map of virginia. so little tommy was raised on stories by this man who would go out and explore and make maps and discover. if you think about it, peter jefferson was using scientific experiments to make the unknown known, to create maps of what was to them wilderness, and to carve out of this unknown backcountry a beautiful image of a map. it's very poetic. it's a metaphor for jeffersons mind to come of this guy who is constantly learning, had combined the idea of science and knowledge with discovery. >> so we're heading to the top of the hill now. >> we are climbing monticello. one time this was over 2000 acres in thomas jeffersons estate. and where we're going to go is the highest point on that former estate which jefferson called mount alto. >> are we seeing then monticello over there, right? >> yes. that is the little mountain. thomas jefferson's little mountain, monticello. again o this mountain was part f jeffersons 2000-acre estate, which of course we should point out where hundreds of people

one of them was the harassment that baptists were experiencing at this time in virginia. their were effect kind of, they-- at this time he needed a license to preach and they didn't do that and just north of here, in a county called culpepper, a city called culpepper, they were imprisoned and harassed by the ruling, you know, state religion, and he was very taken with that cause, the religious independence, religious intoleration, what it meant to cast your lot with an underdog and there are some accounts that he traveled up there and saw what was happening. he took this on as a cause. that's when i think the political itch, they used public policy to express a conviction and a president clinton and to actu-- and to engage in the government and he talked about it that way. pretty soon afterward he became a member from orange county to the constitutional convention that did the first-- this is after the declaration of independence, they needed to come up with a constitution so he was involved in that. he became a counsellor to the governor. governor patrick henry, as a ver

in virginia. now, he is in the elder statesman role, and people, back around -- people come back around, and he gets plenty of positive attention. ms. jewell-sherman: which is great, because he is a great man. throughout your story and the times i have known you, you have a strong focus on foster care. where does this commitment come? ms. holton: i was a legal aid worker, but i worked with families of all types of that round, but not really -- i fell into the juvenile court job. i was a stay-at-home mom for a few years and ended up being a substitute judge in the juvenile court, and started full-time there in 1998. that was foster care. childcare was a significant part of our docket. 25% of what i did was we would try to cases where the subject, where parents or others had been accused of abusing and neglecting children, and if the child was found to have been abused, neglected, taken into care, we would supervise. as judges, we supervise the cases throughout the time the child was in care. we got

he spent about nine days in west virginia. he thought it was horrible and did not find what he was looking for. he spent most of the time in eastern tennessee and north carolina. there he finds an extraordinary repository of old ballads that he believed had been passed down from generation to generation and survived in the mountains in isolation. what i want to convey to you is that when he went to appalachia, he was searching for something. he was looking for england enshrined in amber. preserved. he was not necessarily curious about appalachian culture. he did not care about the culture of african-americans or italian-american immigrants. he was looking for english culture as it was preserved in the mountains. that is what he found. he was looking for very specific reasons. he was looking to take those ballads and reimport them to the mother country as a way of reforming the working classes. it is arguable, but some believe that he had even been hoping that such a move would cause a proletarian revolution. far-fetched but no
