john, what you think of the 1619 project? >> the truth about it is that a lot of it is just a history lesson and it's a history lesson that you know, cox are in more to power differentials that we might be used to but there's nothing wrong with it. what got its a fallujah was the claim the revolutionary war was fought to a significant degree because of people not wanting to let go of slavery, the idea being that to lose the war would mean that you could that have plantations. it would seem to me that that claim has been disproven, and that's what i think of the 1619 project. any discussion of it that purports that a central and highly celebrated tenet of it was not disproven is a discussion that i have a hard time participating in. i'll put it that way. >> a lot of things that you lost patience for, it is prevalent beliefs i go against what you understand as an academic. you teach at columbia. what are your students like these days? do you think they are prepared? you been teaching for a while. are they better prepared now? a

share some words of wisdom from pope john the 23rd. associations are like wine. some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age. and this is certainly true of the white house historical association as we've heard this evening when mrs. kennedy established this organization in 1961. she had great ambitions, but i think even she would be amazed by everything the association has accomplished in the past six decades and how vital our mission remains today. because of my day job i happen to read a lot of news headlines with some frequency. and as anyone who follows the news today knows. america's democratic ideals cannot be taken for granted. throughout the history of the world. there is never been a system of government that is provided the freedom prosperity and boundless opportunity that ours has this is no accident or coincidence. it's a direct result of generations of men and women who have sacrificed to preserve our nation and everything that it stands for. across our country and around the world there is no symbol that represents america's values and ideals

i will start with john? why would you want people to continue reading the farewell address now, 225 years later? what is the biggest takeaway for you? >> washington warned us about the forces that can destroy democratic republic's. the document contains all the hard-won wisdom of his life. it is a prophetic document. in particular, his warnings against hyperpartisanship, foreign wars, excessive, foreign interference in our domestic politics are ripped from the headlines of today. if i had to pick one of those that i would argue that washington was most concerned about, and we should be most concerned about, it is hyper partisanship. putting party over country. those are the forces we are playing with today. it is risking the success of our republic. >> lindsey, your biggest take away? why should people continue to turn this document now? >> i agree with everything john said. i would add just one element about the foreign policy piece that dovetails really nicely that we didn't quite touched down. washington

john wilkes booth is killed now. i thought this a little interesting when i was down at the national funeral history museum. they had this book here from the secret. and i don't know if you can read this little card here, but it says this book essentially contains the carefully guarded truth that booth was not and executed as was believed by the public. now, i'm not one for conspiracy theories, but edwin stanton did order a photographer by the name alexander gardner to photograph john wilkes booth's remains dead. and to my knowledge, that photograph has never surfaced. so just little food for thought. we're going to jump ahead to stop seven in cleveland. this stop is notable because cleveland had the foresight to construct an outdoor forum for lincoln's viewing all the other stops. the funerals were held in. a capitol building or some sort of hall where the public had to be funneled up steps down hallways and through this way, in that. and cleveland had the great idea. hey let's have the funeral outside. we can get m
