equipment belongs to you and you can read - not many in our Lord's year of

1797 who can read I had to spend many long hard hours

learning how to read and write and not many people like me get the chance drink

your broth this clock I carved it out of wood with

my own two hands [Music] [Applause] these are almanacs for the last five

years I have painstakingly compiled them and yet there are still people who do

not understand that everyone can learn to read and write for that education is

the key to freedom knowledge is timeless but enough of that

get some sleep and tomorrow we'll talk

[Music]

[Music] [Applause] [Music]

mr. Jefferson Secretary of State sir I'm

proud to be a free man like yourself [Music]

mathematician philosopher surveyor writer Benjamin Banneker

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music] [Applause] with all the many different kinds of people in the world did you ever stop to

ask yourself do people who look different have different kinds of blood

okay kids time to have your blood drawn come on if you ever had your blood

tested or if you've skinned your knee or cut yourself you know what color your blood is well everybody has the same

color and kind of blood but you might not think so to hear some people talk

you've probably heard some of these expressions she's of mixed blood or he's

got blue blood or their family comes from old New England blood so the word

is used in some confusing ways the fact

is that everybody's blood is basically the same all blood is red and all blood

is made up of the same basic ingredients the red color and everybody's blood comes from red blood cells these cells

carry oxygen to all parts of the body if you ever lost a lot of your blood in an

accident or because of sickness you would need to have some of it replaced

you could get the blood from a male or a female their shade of skin color wouldn't matter they could even be from

a different country you could use anybody's blood as long as it was the

same blood type there are four main types of blood a B a B and O these four

basic blood types can be found all over the world among all kinds of people you

can also find different blood types in your own family you inherit your blood

type from one of your parents or your grandparents but the other members of your family even your brothers and

sisters can have blood types different from yours doctors have found that they can

transfer not only blood but also skin bones and vital organs from one person

to another regardless of nationality or ethnic group in Africa

the donated heart of a black man was transplanted to the body of a white man

in the United States a black American has received a kidney transplant from a white friend so blood can be exchanged

between different kinds of people and so can other parts of the body and we all

have one of the four basic blood types if we have all these things in common on

the inside of our bodies maybe we're not as different as we might look on the outside

[Music]

I'd like to ensure

[Music] today howdy my name is Joseph old

I'm 10 years old and I'm from del Valle Texas I live with my parents and my two

older brothers in a trailer in the country one hobby I have is photography

I use a Polaroid camera which allows me to see my picture immediately my

favorite hobby is cooking I love to make cookies and I'm going to show you how to

make some great tasty yet little cookies first we mix our butter until it's soft then we add brown sugar to the butter

now I take one egg pack it in and mix it add water vanilla extract and stir the

mixture well now I mix the flour salt and baking soda in a separate Bowl I

always use whole wheat flour because the vitamins and mules have not been bleached out when I stir these dry

ingredients up I mix them into the first bowl then add the oats raisins and

walnuts lastly I stir the mixture one last time and then I take a little bite

just to make sure it tastes right the next thing I do is grease the cookie

sheets and set the batter down to bake I may get a bit messy but I sure did come

up with some interesting things now all I have to do is put the cookies in the

oven and wait check them after 10 or 15 minutes and when they turn slightly

crispy pull them out gee this looks more like a pizza than a cookie but it sure

does smell good tastes good too my latest hobby is learning how to ride

a unicycle but I seem to end up more on the ground than I do on the unicycle oh

our family Eddy's adventure in Tennessee

continues next time fry bread best so

come on and make preparations of beats on the brand of the Indian nation okay

today we're gonna make Indian frybread so Indian people make fry bread differently in different parts of the

country even though I'm so I make a fry bread my own special way I wrote about

the same school they live in the north western plains right all right and did

you know that two people were nomadic no I don't know what did you well I know Matt is a person who travels from place

to place okay let's take four cups of flour

okay now we're going to put in for every

cup of flour we're going to put a teaspoon full of baking powder now we're

going to put a little salt and I usually put little pinches I'll put four little pinches I like to

use too much salt this all combines with the baking powder and makes it rise okay now we're going to use water and mix it

I don't usually measure the water I go by how the dough starts to form okay it

looks like it's gonna be pretty good I

learned a few things about grams a day like widowed mohawk speaking their tongues they have four words for bread

that a one there's a word for all the brands you could make a word for

cornbread and one for breakfast they bake vibrant of course there's a word for that too that's full of words if a

mohawk welcome to you if it's light it

will float right away it's ready okay

you cut little slits in here so that it'll fry faster meanwhile I'm gonna

come around here and start getting ready now Greg you hand me two pieces of fry

break and Monica you come around here now and hold that ball so I can start

putting the little pieces of fried bread in this is a first tester and it's almost ready

[Applause] mr. me again but you know Indians made

red from things the crow how to corn wheat sunflower or beans are you paying

attention do you know what that means it's a real good case for using what's around more

pieces these are ready to go

why does it puffs up like that oh because the heat from the oil combines

with the baking powder and the salt and causes here to grow inside and that's why tough stuff okay these are ready to

go three finale end of five red now okay

let's see nice and warm room to eat it's

a piece of you get piece for you thank you thank you

and a piece for me huh you can try it

you got the time you can eat what you

[Music]

baseball anymore it's mad you don't like it it's not that I'm just tired of the

boys giving me a hard time telling me they don't want any girls on the team well don't let that bother you

they're just just because you get hit better than they can I don't count how

would you feel if someone told you that you couldn't do something just because you're a girl I'd be mad I'd also think

was kind of silly well I just go find another friend I feel that it wasn't

fair so I'd get some other girls that wanted to do the same thing and have a protest doesn't matter if you're a boy

or a girl as long as you can do it how would you feel
