Okay, guys,
-
you might remember last week
|
2 |
00:03:29.895 |
00:03:34.192 |
|
-
I gave that great lecture on
-
Elvis Presley and the 1950s,
|
3 |
00:03:34.192 |
00:03:35.735 |
|
-
but today
-
we have to change gears
|
4 |
00:03:35.735 |
00:03:39.496 |
|
-
and talk about something
-
that's a little bit deeper,
-
a little harder to get at,
|
5 |
00:03:39.596 |
00:03:43.116 |
|
-
which is the
-
civil rights movement,
-
or the black freedom struggle,
|
6 |
00:03:43.116 |
00:03:46.535 |
|
-
or what some
-
historians have called
-
the second reconstruction.
|
7 |
00:03:46.535 |
00:03:50.055 |
|
-
Which I really like
-
because it ties it to
-
the first reconstruction
|
8 |
00:03:50.155 |
00:03:53.124 |
|
-
after the Civil War
-
to show that
-
there is a continuum,
|
9 |
00:03:53.124 |
00:03:57.003 |
|
-
there is a constant
-
struggle on the part of
-
African Americans in the south
|
10 |
00:03:57.003 |
00:03:59.180 |
|
-
to claim their freedom,
-
their liberty.
|
11 |
00:03:59.280 |
00:04:1.423 |
|
-
and, without a doubt,
|
12 |
00:04:1.423 |
00:04:5.368 |
|
-
uh, World War II really
-
provides the fuel for this,
|
13 |
00:04:5.368 |
00:04:7.695 |
|
-
that when you go
-
overseas to fight Hitler,
|
14 |
00:04:7.695 |
00:04:11.348 |
|
-
you get shot at,
-
you see your friends killed,
|
15 |
00:04:11.348 |
00:04:12.974 |
|
-
you're going to come home
-
a different person.
