WASHINGTON, D.C. - Documentary
Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States. The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any state. The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district, which included the pre-existing settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria. Named in honor of President George Washington, the City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia; in 1871, it created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the District. Washington had an estimated population of 681,170 as of July 2016. Commut...

World War II Memorial in Washington, DC
In commemoration of the Battle of Bataan (January 7 to April 9, 1942) that resulted in the Bataan Death March, The Filipino Web Channel features the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., which we visited on Sunday, March 31, 2018.
The World War II Memorial is dedicated to Americans who served in the armed forces and as civilians during World War II. It consists of 56 pillars and a pair of small triumphal arches surrounding a square and fountain on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Each of the 56 granite pillars is 17 feet tall on which is inscribed the name of one of the 48 U.S. states of 1945, as well as District of Columbia, the Alaska Territory and Territory of Hawaii, the Commonwealth of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and U.S. Virgin Islands.
Within the memorial is the Freedom Wall on the west side which has 4,048 gold stars, each representing 100 Americans who died in the war. In front of the wall lies the message Here we mark the price of freedom. (Source: Wikipedia).

The Indians' Capital City: Native Histories of Washington DC
Kluge Fellow Joseph Genetin-Pilawa presents part of his larger study of the Indigenous histories of Washington, D.C. Genetin-Pilawa argues that far from the passive victims or violent interlopers depicted in much of the iconography of the capital, visiting Native diplomats and as well as residents in the 19th and 20th centuries engaged with the messages encoded on the urban landscape. In so doing, they challenged narratives of settler colonialism, claimed and reclaimed the space of the city, and shaped the development of the US capital as it evolved from a local village to a global metropolis.

One of the things I love about it is the stories themselves. I mean these stories are incredible about these spies who live their lives like we could never understand and then all of a sudden it's revealed to us.
9. SOUNDBITE: (English) Jaime Sendra, Museum visitor
Very good, very well distributed, very well organised. Lots and lots of things to see and to do. It's very, very good, I think.
10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Barbara Rosenthal, Museum visitor
I loved all the interactive parts. It was criticised in the Washington Post last week. They said that they overdid the interactive. I think it is so, so neat just to get involved with it. It's wonderful. Everything is just interactive.

STORYLINE:
The new International Spy Museum has opened in Washington.
Unlike the men and women whose stories are told in the museum, the opening was anything but discreet.
Performers abseiled down the front of the museum to the tune of the Mission Impossible theme.
With a blast of confetti and more acrobatics, the performers then peeled back a banner to reveal a now open sign.
The reviews of the museum's first visitors were overwhelmingly positive, their only complaint is the steep entry fee: eleven dollars for everyone but students and pensioners. Most museums in Washington, D-C are free.
The International Spy Museum's collection of over a thousand exhibits includes a lipstick pistol used by the K-G-B and a coat with a buttonhole camera.
And going to the museum is a highly interactive experience. Visitors are asked to adopt a cover during their trip - and are quizzed on details of their fake identity. It's no coincidence the museum is located just a block from the F-B-I headquarters.

UDC Forum: State of Civil Rights in America
Civil rights are personal rights guaranteed and protected by the U.S. Constitution and federal laws enacted by Congress, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Acts of 1990. Civil rights include, for example: freedom of speech, the right to vote, due process of law, equal protection of the law, and protection from unlawful discrimination.
With me today to explore the issue of the state of Civil Right in America from a historical, political, legal, racial, and social perspective are: Sylvia Y. Cyrus, Executive Director of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History now called the Association for the Study of African American Life and History was founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in 1915 in response to the lack of information on the accomplishments of African Americans.
And Professor Wade Henderson, President and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and the Joseph L. Rauh, Jr. Chair of Public Interest Law at University of the District of Columbia David A. Clark School of Law. The Leadership Conference was founded in 1950 as the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights by A. Philip Randolph, head of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters; Roy Wilkins of the NAACP; and Arnold Aronson, a leader of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council. The visionary leadership of these three gentlemen was grounded in their commitment to social justice and the firm conviction that the struggle for civil rights would be won not by one group alone, but through coalition. You will learn more about each organization throughout this conversation.
MOOC | Politics, Whiteness, Religion | The Civil War and Reconstruction, 1850-1861 | 1.5.5
Discover how the issue of slavery came to dominate American politics, and how political leaders struggled and failed to resolve the growing crisis in the nation.
A House Divided: The Road to Civil War, 1850-1861, is a course that begins by examining how generations of historians have explained the crisis of the Union. After discussing the institution of slavery and its central role in the southern and national economies, it turns to an account of the political and social history of the 1850s. It traces how the issue of the expansion of slavery came to dominate national politics, and how political leaders struggled, unsuccessfully, to resolve the growing crisis. We will examine the impact of key events such as Bleeding Kansas, the Dred Scott decision, the Lincoln-Douglas debates, and John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry, and end with the dissolution of the Union in the winter of 1860-1861.
This course is part of the series, The Civil War and Reconstruction, which introduces students to the most pivotal era in American history. The Civil War transformed the nation by eliminating the threat of secession and destroying the institution of slavery. It raised questions that remain central to our understanding of ourselves as a people and a nation — the balance of power between local and national authority, the boundaries of citizenship, and the meanings of freedom and equality. The series will examine the causes of the war, the road to secession, the conduct of the Civil War, the coming of emancipation, and the struggle after the war to breathe meaning into the promise of freedom for four million emancipated slaves. One theme throughout the series is what might be called the politics of history — how the world in which a historian lives affects his or her view of the past, and how historical interpretations reinforce or challenge the social order of the present.

The history of Washington, D.C. is tied to its role as the capital of the United States. Originally inhabited by an Algonquian-speaking people known as the Nacotchtank, the site of the District of Columbia along the Potomac River was first selected by PresidentGeorge Washington. The city came under attack during the War of 1812 in an episode known as the Burning of Washington. Upon the government's return to the capital, it had to manage reconstruction of numerous public buildings, including the White House and the United States Capitol. The McMillan Plan of 1901 helped restore and beautify the downtown core area, including establishing the National Mall, along with numerous monuments and museums.

From Wikipedia:
Harlem is a neighborhood in the northern section of the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is bounded roughly by Frederick Douglass Boulevard, St. Nicholas Avenue, and Morningside Park on the west; the Harlem River and 155th Street on the north; Fifth Avenue on the east; and Central Park North on the south. The greater Harlem area encompasses several other neighborhoods and extends west to the Hudson River, north to 155th Street, east to the East River, and south to 96th Street.
Originally a Dutch village, formally organized in 1658, it is named after the city of Haarlem in the Netherlands. Harlem's history has been defined by a series of economic boom-and-bust cycles, with significant population shifts accompanying each cycle. Harlem was predominantly occupied by Jewish and Italian Americans in the 19th century, but African-American residents began to arrive in large numbers during the Great Migration in the 20th century. In the 1920s and 1930s, Central and West Harlem were the focus of the Harlem Renaissance, a major African-American cultural movement. With job losses during the Great Depression of the 1930s and the deindustrialization of New York City after World War II, rates of crime and poverty increased significantly. In the 21st century, crime rates decreased significantly, and Harlem started to gentrify.
Harlem is part of Manhattan Community District 10.[1] It is patrolled by the 28th and 32nd Precincts of the New York City Police Department. The greater Harlem area also includes Manhattan Community Districts 9 and 11, and several additional police precincts. Fire services are provided by four New York City Fire Department companies. Politically, Harlem is represented by the New York City Council's 7th, 8th, and 9th districts. The area is served by the New York City Subway and local bus routes. It contains several public elementary, middle, and high schools, and is close to several colleges including Columbia University and the City College of New York.

Reconstruction and the Fragility of Democracy
Historian Eric Foner, author of Gateway to Freedom: The Hidden History of the Underground Railroad, discusses the Reconstruction era (1863–1877) during which large numbers of black men became voters and office-holders. Yet this time also saw a violent counter-revolution that wiped out the possibilities of interracial democracy for more than a half century. Presented in conjunction with the 42nd Annual Conference on DC Historical Studies.

The Emancipation Proclamation and the End of Slavery
Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in America at the time it was written, it fundamentally changed the character of the Civil War. Overnight, a war to preserve the Union became a war for human liberation. A distinguished panel discusses the Emancipation Proclamation and its symbol of hope for the nearly 4 million enslaved people who were held in bondage. Moderated by David Blight, professor of history at Yale University, panelists include Edna Greene Medford, professor of history at Howard University, and others.
BELZ - Lipa feat. the Holocaust Survivor Band
To purchase the song, please go to:
83 years after it was first performed in New York’s Yiddish theater district, the iconic song Belz is revitalized, this time being performed by a pair of musicians who were schoolboys when it first debuted in 1932.
Saul Dreier and Ruby Sosnowicz, better known to their legions of adoring fans of all ages as the Holocaust Survivor Band, capture the soul of Belz with their distinctive flair and equally impressive talent in this Sparks Next video starring Lipa Schmeltzer. Set against the backdrop of a surprise party for Dreier, the video conjures up memories of the alte heim, as a pre-war Schmeltzer plays the part of a young Dreier who travels to the future to take part in his 90th birthday celebration in Miami Beach.
Schmeltzer in another collaboration with filmmaker Daniel Finkelman and composer Cecelia Margules handily create nostalgia for times gone by as they evokes the spirit of Belz and both Dreier and Sosnowicz are mesmerizing as the two provide a contemporary feel to this class song of yesteryear. Radiating energy, vitality and a youth that belies their age, the Holocaust Survivor Band continues to impress in their second music video that will have young and old alike on their feet and dancing along with Ruby, Saul and their entire entourage.
Belz, with new lyrics and music by Cecelia Margules, is co sponsored by Noam Gourmet and directed by Daniel Finkelman with music produced by by Ruli Ezrahi.

ODI: Triumph of Freedom: Slavery, Emancipation, and the Civil War in the DC - Gibbs - 9/18/12
The Government of the District of Columbia invited Gallaudet University to participate in a year-long celebration of the District of Columbia Emancipation Compensatory Act of 1862. This Act of Congress, signed by President Abraham Lincoln 150 years ago during the Civil War (1861-1865), freed slaves in the District of Columbia forever, and was the beginning of the end of slavery in the United States.
On Tuesday, September 18th, Mr. Carroll R. Gibbs, a noted District of Columbia lecturer and historian, speaks to our community about the Triumph of Freedom: Slavery, Emancipation, and the Civil War in the District of Columbia.
Driving Downtown - Savannah - USA
Driving Downtown - Savannah Georgia USA - Season 1 Episode 12.
Starting Point: River Street
Savannah is the oldest city in the U.S. state of Georgia and is the county seat of Chatham County. Established in 1733, the city of Savannah became the British colonial capital of the Province of Georgia and later the first state capital of Georgia.[3] A strategic port city in the American Revolution and during the American Civil War,[4] Savannah is today an industrial center and an important Atlantic seaport. It is Georgia's fifth-largest city and third-largest metropolitan area.
Each year Savannah attracts millions of visitors to its cobblestone streets, parks, and notable historic buildings: the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America), the Georgia Historical Society (the oldest continually operating historical society in the South), the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South's first public museums), the First African Baptist Church (one of the oldest African-American Baptist congregations in the United States), Temple Mickve Israel (the third oldest synagogue in America), and the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in America).[3][5]
Savannah's downtown area, which includes the Savannah Historic District, the Savannah Victorian Historic District, and 22 parklike squares, is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States (designated by the U.S. government in 1966).[3][a] Downtown Savannah largely retains the original town plan prescribed by founder James Oglethorpe (a design now known as the Oglethorpe Plan). Savannah was the host city for the sailing competitions during the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.

Archaeologists discover largest, oldest wine cellar in Near East: 3,700 year-old
Found: One of Civilization's Oldest Wine Cellars? Cellar Held Equivalent of Nearly 3,000 Bottles of Reds and Whites; Findings Released Today. A team of American and Israeli researchers has unearthed what could be the largest and oldest wine cellar in the Near East.The group made the discovery at the 75-acre Tel Kabri site in Israel, the ruins of a northern Canaanite city that dates back to approximately 1700 B.C. The excavations at the vast palace of the rulers of the city are co-directed by Eric H. Cline of the George Washington University (GW) and Assaf Yasur-Landau of the University of Haifa, with Andrew Koh of Brandeis University as associate director. As researchers excavated at the site, they uncovered a three-foot-long jar, later christened Bessie. We dug and dug, and all of a sudden, Bessie's friends started appearing—five, 10, 15, ultimately 40 jars packed in a 15-by-25-foot storage room, said Dr. Cline, chair of GW's Department of Classical and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations within the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences. This is a hugely significant discovery—it's a wine cellar that, to our knowledge, is largely unmatched in its age and size. The findings were presented today in Baltimore at the annual meeting of the American Schools of Oriental Research.The 40 jars have a capacity of roughly 2,000 liters, meaning the cellar could have held the equivalent of nearly 3,000 bottles of reds and whites.The wine cellar was located near a hall where banquets took place, a place where the Kabri elite and possibly foreign guests consumed goat meat and wine, said Dr. Yasur-Landau, chair of the Department of Maritime Civilizations at the University of Haifa. The wine cellar and the banquet hall were destroyed during the same violent event, perhaps an earthquake, which covered them with thick debris of mud bricks and plaster. It wasn't immediately clear it was wine the jars once held. To make that determination, Dr. Koh, an assistant professor of classical studies at Brandeis University, analyzed the jar fragments using organic residue analysis. He found traces of tartaric and syringic acids, both key components in wine, as well as compounds suggesting the presence of ingredients popular in ancient wine-making, including honey, mint, cinnamon bark, juniper berries and resins. The recipe is similar to medicinal wines used for 2,000 years in ancient Egypt. This wasn't moonshine that someone was brewing in their basement, eyeballing the measurements, Dr. Koh said. This wine's recipe was strictly followed in each and every jar. Researchers now want to continue analyzing the composition of each solution, possibly discovering enough information to recreate the flavor. Luckily, they'll have more evidence in a couple of years. A few days before the team members wrapped up work this summer, they discovered two doors leading out of the wine cellar—one to the south, and one to the west. Both probably lead to additional storage rooms. They'll have to wait until their next dig in 2015 to find out for sure.Funding for this research was provided by GW, the University of Haifa, the National Geographic Society, the Israel Science Foundation, the Institute for Aegean Prehistory, Bronfman Philanthropies and private donations. - The George Washington University: In the heart of the nation's capital with additional programs in Virginia, the George Washington University was created by an Act of Congress in 1821. Today, GW is the largest institution of higher education in the District of Columbia. The university offers comprehensive programs of undergraduate and graduate liberal arts study, as well as degree programs in medicine, public health, law, engineering, education, business and international affairs. Each year, GW enrolls a diverse population of undergraduate, graduate and professional students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and more than 130 countries. - University of Haifa: The University of Haifa, with over 18,000 students for undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees, is world-renowned in many research areas, and is Israel's leading university in the humanities, social sciences and marine research. As the home to a community of students that most accurately mirrors Israeli society, the University of Haifa is of unique strategic importance to the State of Israel. It enrolls the largest number of military and security personnel acquiring their academic education, who study alongside civilians from all walks of life - Haredi and secular Jews, new immigrants, Arabs and Druze. The University's distinctive mission is to cultivate academic excellence, create a shared Israeli experience and promote democratic civilian identity, in an environment of tolerance and multiculturalism.
