OF COURSE, IT'S A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE ARE BOUGHT AND SOLD, 06:49 SO ALL OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE QUALIFIED BY THAT. 06:54 THERE ARE PEOPLE YOU COULD... 06:56 WHO COULD BE WORKING SIDE BY SIDE WITH YOU ONE DAY, THE NEXT DAY THEY'RE GONE. 07:02 IF YOU'RE A MAN, A WOMAN WITH WHOM YOU'VE HAD A CHILD COULD BE GONE. 07:07 THE CHILD COULD BE GONE. YOU COULD BE GONE. 07:16 FOR SLAVES UNDER SLAVERY, FORMALLY SPEAKING, THERE IS NO FAMILY, 07:24 BECAUSE UNDER SLAVERY, SLAVES ARE NOT PEOPLE. PEOPLE HAVE FAMILIES. 07:32 A COMMODITY DOESN'T HAVE A FAMILY AND SLAVES WERE COMMODITIES. 07:37 THEY WERE BOUGHT AND SOLD, 07:40 SO A MAN AND A WOMAN MIGHT HAVE A CHILD TOGETHER. 07:47 THAT MAN COULD THEN BE SOLD AND LIVE SOMEPLACE ELSE. 07:53 THE WOMAN COULD BE SOLD, THE CHILD COULD BE SOLD, 07:56 AND THEY COULD BE SOLD THREE DIFFERENT WAYS, 07:58 THREE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, AND THIS HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENED. 08:07 OH, I BLESS YOU, LORD. 08:12 THANK YOU. OH, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, JESUS. 08:22 I THANK YOU, LORD. 08:24 I THANK YOU FOR BRINGIN' YOUR CHILD THROUGH ANOTHER JOURNEY. 08:32 IT WAS YOU WHO DELIVERED MY PASSENGERS INTO CANADA SAFELY, 08:36 NO HARM, AND I BLESS YOUR NAME FOR IT. 08:42 I KNOW THAT YOU SAID NOT TO BE WEARY IN WELL-DOIN', 08:48 BUT I AM A LITTLE TIRED NOW, FATHER. 08:52 AND I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO GIVE ME SOME STRENGTH TO GET THROUGH THIS NEXT ONE. 09:01 BUT I TRUST YOU. YOU SAID YOU'D NEVER LEAVE ME OR FORSAKE ME. 09:09 AND I KNOW'S YOU'VE BEEN WITH ME EVERY TIME. 09:13 AND YOU'LL BE WITH ME THIS TIME. 09:17 I THANK YOU AND I BLESS YOU, IN JESUS' NAME. 09:35 CALLAHAN: HARRIET TUBMAN WAS A REMARKABLE AND COURAGEOUS CHRISTIAN WOMAN, 09:42 WHO HAD BEEN A SLAVE, HAD BEEN BEATEN AND DECIDED THAT SHE WOULD RUN AWAY. 10:00 HARRIET TUBMAN ACKNOWLEDGED A CALLING ON HER LIFE TO HELP OTHERS TO ESCAPE, 10:09 AND THIS WAS AN EXTRAORDINARILY DANGEROUS THING TO DO, BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED: 10:13 THIS IS A WOMAN WHO SUCCESSFULLY ESCAPED FROM THE SLAVE SOUTH TO THE "FREE" NORTH, 10:21 AND SHE COULD HAVE JUST GONE ON WITH HER LIFE AND SHE CHOSE NOT TO DO THAT. 10:27 SHE WENT BACK INTO THE SOUTH MANY TIMES, 10:31 AND EXPOSED HERSELF TO DANGER OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE TO ESCAPE. 10:41 THERE'S A STORY THAT SHE WAS ACTUALLY ON A TRAIN, 10:45 AND BY THIS TIME PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO APPREHEND HER. 10:48 SHE, YOU KNOW, SHE HAD HER PICTURE UP IN THE POST OFFICE, SO TO SPEAK, 10:53 AND AS INVESTIGATORS WERE WALKING THROUGH THE TRAIN, 10:57 SHE TOOK A NEWSPAPER AND HELD IT UP IN FRONT OF HER FACE, 11:00 AND PRETENDED TO READ IT, PRAYING THAT SHE WAS HOLDING THE NEWSPAPER THE RIGHT WA 11:09 BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T READ. 11:13 SHE HAD A NUMBER OF CLOSE CALLS AND NEVER ONCE WAVERED, 11:19 AND WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE... 11:23 PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LIBERATION OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE. 11:33 CHRISTMAS HAS... IS A FASCINATING HOLIDAY IN THIS COUNTRY, 11:37 HAS A FASCINATING HISTORY IN THIS COUNTRY. 11:40 UNDER THE SLAVE REGIME, SOME SLAVES WERE JUST ENCOURAGED TO PARTY. 11:46 YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE... YOU READ IN ACCOUNTS OF WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE HOLIDAYS, 11:53 THAT IT'S JUST A LOT OF DEBAUCHERY, 11:59 BUT THEN THERE'S THAT OTHER SIDE. 12:02 WHAT'S THE STORY ABOUT? WELL, THE STORY IS ABOUT THESE POOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE A BABY, 12:11 AND THIS BABY IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE RULER OF THE WORLD. 12:16 WELL, WHERE IS THIS RULER BORN? WELL, THE RULER IS... 12:19 IS IT, YOU KNOW, SOME KIND OF TOP FLIGHT, TONY MATERNITY WARD? 12:23 NO, YOU KNOW, SUPPOSEDLY IN A STABLE. 12:28 THEY PUT THE KID IN A FEEDING TROUGH. 12:30 THEY WRAP THE KID WITH CLOTH AND THIS IS HOW THE KID COMES TO THE WORLD. 12:36 THIS IS... BUT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD, 12:39 AND EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE ON THE GROUND, WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS, DON'T KNOW THIS, 12:45 YOU KNOW, THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN AND, YOU KNOW, THEY ALL KNOW IT, 12:50 SO THE HINGE OF HISTORY TURNS ON THIS VERY HUMBLE CHILD. 12:57 NOW, IF YOU HEAR THAT STORY AND YOU YOURSELF ARE A VERY HUMBLE PERSON, 13:02 WITHOUT ANY PRETENSIONS TO BIRTH OR WEALTH OR PRIVILEGE OR PRESTIGE, 13:09 THAT STORY HAS SOME APPEAL. IT HAS A GREAT DEAL OF APPEAL. 13:22 PHIPPS: IN 1907, BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, 13:26 THE FOUNDER OF TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY, 13:29 WHO AS A BOY LIVED AS A SLAVE, 13:32 WROTE OF HIS MEMORIES OF CHRISTMAS: 13:37 "CHRISTMAS WAS THE GREAT EVENT OF THE WHOLE YEAR TO THE SLAVES THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH. 13:43 "DURING THE DAYS OF SLAVERY, 13:46 "THE COLORED FOLK USED TO BEGIN GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS WEEKS BEFOREHAND. 13:52 "IT WAS THE SEASON WHEN, IN MANY CASES, 13:55 "THE SLAVES WHO HAD BEEN HIRED OUT TO THE OTHER MASTERS... 13:59 "CAME HOME TO VISIT THEIR FAMILIES. 14:02 "PERHAPS THE HUSBAND HAD BEEN AWAY FROM HIS WIFE FOR TWELVE MONTHS. 14:07 "HE WAS PERMITTED ON CHRISTMAS TO COME HOME. 14:11 "PERHAPS CHILDREN HAD BEEN HIRED OUT IN ANOTHER PART OF THE STATE, 14:15 "OR ANOTHER PART OF THE COUNTRY, 14:18 AWAY FROM THEIR MOTHERS FOR SIX TO TWELVE MONTHS. 14:22 "THEY TOO WERE PERMITTED TO COME HOME AT CHRISTMAS. 14:30 "IT WAS MADE KNOWN DURING THESE HOLIDAYS WHICH SLAVES WERE TO REMAIN ON THE HOME PLANTATION, 14:37 "AND WHICH ONES WERE TO BE HIRED OUT TO THE NEIGHBORING FARMERS, AND WHICH ONES WERE TO BE SOLD. 14:47 "IT WAS AN IMPORTANT PERIOD TO THE SLAVES IN MANY WAYS, 14:51 "BUT THE FEELINGS OF JOY AT THE REUNION OF THE FAMILY PREVAILED ABOVE ALL OTHERS." 15:21 TUBMAN: MISS KATE, I DO BLESS THE LORD FOR YOU. 15:25 ALL OF OUR PASSENGERS HAVE ARRIVED ON THE OTHER SIDE. 15:30 KATE: MOSES, TOM IS HERE. HE'S BEEN WAITING TO TALK TO YOU FOR TWO DAYS. 15:35 TUBMAN: OH, THAT DON'T FEEL RIGHT. 15:42 TUBMAN: TOM, WHAT YOU DOIN' HERE? YOU A LONG WAY FROM HOME. 15:46 TOM: MOSES, I COME TO TELL YA, A SLAVE YOU KNOW BEEN SOLD. 15:50 TUBMAN: WHAT SLAVE? 15:52 TOM: JOE BEEN SOLD TO MASTER BASS. 15:56 TUBMAN: THAT AIN'T GOOD NEWS, AT ALL. 15:58 MASTER BASS IS A MEAN SOMEBODY. 16:02 HE DON'T CARE NOTHIN' ABOUT KEEPING FAMILIES TOGETHER. 16:06 THAT MEAN JOE GONNA RUN AND I'M GONNA HAFTA BE THERE FOR HIM TO MAKE SURE HE GET TO CANADA. 16:12 YEAH, YEAH. 16:26 ANNOUNCER: AND NOW, THE DVD, A CHRISTMAS JOURNEY TO FREEDOM, 16:29 CAN BE YOURS FOR A GIFT OF ANY AMOUNT. 16:32 ENJOY THE EXTENDED 70-MINUTE PRESENTATION. 16:35 A CHRISTMAS JOURNEY TO FREEDOM INCLUDES SEVERAL TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS FAVORITES... 16:40 PERFORMED BY WINTLEY PHIPPS, AND THE DRAMATIC STORY... 16:43 OF THIS HISTORIC AND COURAGEOUS JOURNEY OF FAITH AND FREEDOM. 16:48 REQUEST YOUR COPY OF THE DVD WHEN YOU GIVE A GIFT OF ANY AMOUNT TO DAY OF DISCOVERY. 17:03 INCLUDED ON THE DVD IS A BONUS FEATURE ON THE LIFE AND FAITH OF FREDERICK DOUGLASS. 17:08 THAT'S THE DVD, A CHRISTMAS JOURNEY TO FREEDOM. 17:12 YOURS FOR A GIFT OF ANY AMOUNT. 17:28 CALLAHAN: SLAVES LIVED IN A WORLD IN WHICH POWER AND PRESTIGE AND PRIVILEGE... 17:37 WERE HIGHLY IMPORTANT AND CLEARLY MARKED. 17:41 AND ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS A SLAVE LEARNED WAS THAT... 17:44 THE SLAVE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OF THOSE THINGS. 17:49 AS A SLAVE... IF I'M A SLAVE IN THAT SYSTEM, 17:54 ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I LEARN IS THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY CLAIM TO POWER, 17:59 TO PRIVILEGE, TO PRESTIGE. I'M NONE OF THAT. I'M AT THE BOTTOM. 18:06 I'M NOT REALLY A PERSON, YOU KNOW, I'M SOMETHING TO BE BOUGHT AND SOLD. 18:10 I HAVE A PRICE TAG. I DON'T HAVE AN ID, I HAVE A PRICE TAG. 18:17 BUT IN THE STORY OF JESUS, AMONG OTHER THINGS, 18:22 THE SLAVES HEARD THAT HERE WAS A PERSON WHO ALSO DIDN'T HAVE THE TRAPPINGS... 18:27 OF POWER OR PRIVILEGE OR PRESTIGE ON THE ONE HAND, 18:33 BUT WAS GREATLY POWERFUL IN ANOTHER, 18:36 THIS WAS THE PERSON WHOM GOD HAD CHOSEN TO SAVE THE WORLD, 18:42 AND NOT ONLY WAS HE A HUMBLE PERSON, HE SEEMED TO BE PREOCCUPIED WITH HUMBLE PEOPLE. 19:29 ♪ O HOLY NIGHT, THE STARS ARE BRIGHTLY SHINING. ♪ 19:37 ♪ IT IS THE NIGHT OF THE DEAR SAVIOR'S BIRTH. ♪ 19:46 ♪ LONG LAY THE WORLD IN SIN AND ERROR PINING, ♪ 19:54 ♪ TILL HE APPEARED AND THE SOUL FELT ITS WORTH. ♪ 20:03 ♪ A THRILL OF HOPE, THE WEARY WORLD REJOICES, ♪ 20:10 ♪ FOR YONDER BREAKS A NEW AND GLORIOUS MORN. ♪ 20:18 ♪ FALL ON YOUR KNEES, ♪ 20:25 ♪ O HEAR THE ANGEL VOICES. ♪ 20:33 ♪ O NIGHT DIVINE, ♪ 20:39 ♪ O NIGHT WHEN CHRIST WAS BORN. ♪ 20:47 ♪ O NIGHT DIVINE, ♪ 20:55 ♪ O NIGHT, O NIGHT DIVINE! ♪ 21:03 ♪ THE KING OF KINGS LAY THUS IN LOWLY MANGER, ♪ 21:10 ♪ IN ALL OUR TRIALS, BORN TO BE OUR FRIEND. ♪ 21:18 ♪ HE KNOWS OUR NEED, ♪ 21:25 ♪ TO OUR WEAKNESS IS NO STRANGER. ♪ 21:32 ♪ BEHOLD YOUR KING, ♪ 21:39 ♪ BEFORE HIM LOWLY BEND. ♪ 21:47 ♪ BEHOLD YOUR KING, ♪ 21:54 ♪ BEFORE HIM LOWLY BEND. ♪ 22:10 ♪ CHRIST IS THE LORD! ♪ 22:17 ♪ O PRAISE HIS NAME FOREVER! ♪ 22:25 ♪ HIS POW'R AND GLORY EVERMORE PROCLAIM! ♪ 22:39 ♪ HIS POW'R AND GLORY EVERMORE PROCLAIM! ♪ 23:13 IT'S A CHALLENGE FOR US TO APPRECIATE HOW ALL-ENVELOPING, 23:18 HOW TOTALISTIC THE SLAVE REGIME WAS. 23:24 EVERY ASPECT OF THE SLAVE'S LIFE WAS CONTROLLED. 23:28 A SLAVE WAS UNDER CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE, 23:31 AND SO ESCAPE FROM THAT REGIME WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. 23:40 SO THOSE ARE THE... THOSE WERE THE ATTENDING CIRCUMSTANCES OF SLAVERY, 23:44 SO WE KNOW THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE SUCCEEDED. 23:51 AND WHAT'S REMARKABLE IS NOT THAT A FEW SUCCEEDED. 23:57 WHAT'S REMARKABLE IS THAT ANY OF THEM SUCCEEDED. 24:01 WHAT'S REMARKABLE IS THAT SOME PEOPLE DECIDED, 24:04 IN SPITE OF THE OVERWHELMING ODDS AGAINST THEM, 24:07 THAT THEY WOULD ATTEMPT ESCAPE, AND SOME ACTUALLY SUCCEEDED. 24:11 AS THOROUGH-GOINGLY OPPRESSIVE AND ALL-ENVELOPING AS THE SLAVE REGIME WAS, 24:18 AS WITH ANY TOTALITARIAN SYSTEM, THERE ARE BREACHES. 24:24 THERE ARE FLEETING MOMENTS OF OPPORTUNITY. 24:31 THERE ARE RUMORS ABOUT A ROUTE OF ESCAPE OR THAT... 24:39 ABOUT SO-AND-SO WHO WAS HERE FOR YEARS AND NOW NO ONE KNOWS OF HIS WHEREABOUTS. 24:50 NO FACTS OR VERY FEW FACTS TO GO ON. 24:53 FACT-FINDING APPARATUS IS NOT VERY WELL DEVELOPED FOR THE SLAVE, 24:58 BUT UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS, PEOPLE IN ALL AGES, 25:05 WHO ARE LABORING UNDER OPPRESSIVE REGIMES DON'T REALLY NEED FACTS, THEY NEED HOPE. 25:15 IF THEY HAVE A BASIS FOR HOPE, THE MOST COURAGEOUS OF THEM WILL ACT ON THAT HOPE, 25:22 AND THAT'S WHAT WE SEE IN THE ATTEMPTED ESCAPES OF SLAVES. 25:42 ♪ THERE'S A STAR IN THE EAST ON CHRISTMAS MORN. ♪ 25:50 ♪ RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW. ♪ 25:57 ♪ IT WILL LEAD TO THE PLACE WHERE CHRIST IS BORN. ♪ 26:04 ♪ RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW. ♪ 26:11 ♪ LEAVE YOUR SHEEP AND LEAVE YOUR LAMBS. ♪ 26:17 ♪ RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW. ♪ 26:24 ♪ LEAVE YOUR EWES AND LEAVE YOUR RAMS. ♪ 26:32 ♪ RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW. ♪ 26:38 ♪ FOLLOW, FOLLOW, ♪ 26:44 ♪ RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW. ♪ 26:50 ♪ FOLLOW THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM. ♪ 26:58 ♪ RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW. ♪ 27:18 ♪ IF YOU TAKE GOOD HEED TO THE ANGEL'S WORDS, ♪ 27:26 ♪ RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW, ♪ 27:32 ♪ YOU'LL FORGET YOUR FLOCKS, YOU'LL FORGET YOUR HERD. ♪ 27:40 ♪ RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW. ♪ 27:47 ♪ LEAVE YOUR SHEEP AND LEAVE YOUR LAMBS. ♪ 27:53 ♪ RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW. ♪ 28:00 ♪ LEAVE YOUR EWES AND LEAVE YO RAMS. ♪ 28:07 ♪ RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW. ♪ 28:14 ♪ FOLLOW, FOLLOW, ♪ 28:20 ♪ RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW. ♪ 28:27 ♪ FOLLOW THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM. ♪ 28:37 ♪ RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW. ♪ 28:45 ♪ RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW. ♪ 29:01 ♪ FOLLOW, FOLLOW, FOLLOW. ♪ 29:23 ♪ RISE UP SHEPHERD AND FOLLOW. ♪ 29:39 CALLAHAN: THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD WAS AN ORGANIZED SUBTERRANEAN NETWORK, 29:47 AND CONSPIRACY OF PEOPLE WHO WERE INVOLVED IN HELPING SLAVES TO ESCAPE TO FREE TERRITORIES, 29:59 AND A CHAIN THAT RAN FROM SOUTH TO NORTH, 30:06 WITH STOPS IN VARIOUS NORTHERN CITIES AND EVEN STOPS IN CANADA. 30:24 AND SLAVES WOULD ABSCOND FROM PLANTATIONS OR WHEREVER THEY WERE ENSLAVED, 30:31 AND NORMAL, EVERYDAY PEOPLE WOULD BECOME INVOLVED... 30:37 IN THIS CONSPIRACY TO HELP THEM TO ESCAPE. 30:41 SO IF YOU WERE INVOLVED IN THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, 30:44 BY DAY YOU MIGHT SIMPLY BE A TINSMITH OR OWN A DRY GOODS STORE, OR WHATEVER, 30:53 BUT YOU HAD A BASEMENT, 30:56 AND AT NIGHT SOMEBODY WOULD COME AND KNOCK ON YOUR DOOR OR THERE WOULD BE A WHISTLE, 30:59 OR SOMEBODY WOULD SING A SONG IN THE BUSHES, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, 31:02 AND SOMEONE... A PERSON WHO HAD RUN AWAY FROM SLAVERY... 31:07 WOULD COME INTO YOUR HOUSE AND YOU MIGHT KEEP THAT PERSON IN THE BASEMENT. 31:11 THAT PERSON MIGHT STAY FOR A FEW DAYS. 31:14 NOW, THIS WAS ILLEGAL, AT LEAST IN MANY PLACES IT WAS ILLEGAL, 31:20 SO THERE'S THIS UNDERGROUND NETWORK. 31:22 AND I THINK, TO THIS DAY, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY REALLY KNOWS... 31:25 WHERE ALL THE LINKS IN THE CHAIN WERE. 31:41 THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD IS, AMONG OTHER THINGS, AN EXTRAORDINARY PARTNERSHIP... 31:50 ACROSS ALL OF THE LINES THAT DIVIDED PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. 31:57 IT IS A PARTNERSHIP THAT TRANSCENDS RACE, TRANSCENDS REGION, 32:05 TRANSCENDS GENDER, TRANSCENDS ECONOMIC STATUS. 32:13 IT IS A REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF COOPERATION OF PEOPLE WHO COME TOGETHER, 32:22 WHO ARE UNITED IN A TRANSCENDENT CAUSE. 32:27 AS WITH ANY MOVEMENT OR PROJECT THAT TRULY REFLECTS A DIVINE VOCATION, 32:40 IT BREAKS ALL THOSE BARRIERS. 32:42 THERE WERE WHITE PEOPLE AND BLACK PEOPLE, 32:45 RICH PEOPLE, POOR PEOPLE, MEN, WOMEN, 32:50 PEOPLE IN THE NORTH, PEOPLE IN THE SOUTH. 32:54 THERE WERE ELDERLY PEOPLE INVOLVED. SOMETIMES THERE WERE CHILDREN INVOLVED, 32:59 BECAUSE THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT WAS REALLY TOO IMPORTANT NOT TO INVOLVE CERTAIN PEOPLE. 33:06 AND THEY WERE INVOLVED BASED ON A COMMON CONVICTION THAT PEOPLE, 33:13 EVERYBODY OUGHT TO BE FREE AND THEY DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT AT GREAT RISK, 33:20 AND EVERYONE WAS AT GREAT RISK. 33:23 SO ITS... STRANGELY ENOUGH, IN A VERY DISTURBING, 33:31 AND PERHAPS THE MOST DISTURBING ERA OF OUR HISTORY, 33:37 AROUND ONE OF THE MOST DISTURBING AND DIVISIVE AND VIOLENT INSTITUTIONS, 33:44 THE LEGACY OF WHICH WE'RE STILL... IS STILL A SOURCE OF GREAT STRUGGLE FOR US, 33:50 THAT VERY BRIGHT LIGHT HAS EMERGED.

THEY'RE... BOTH OF THOSE THINGS ARE THERE IN THAT BOOK. 51:06 AND BETWEEN THOSE, OR I WOULD PLACE BETWEEN THOSE AN EXTRAORDINARY ETHICAL PRINCIPLE, 51:15 THE LIKES OF WHICH WE DON'T EXACTLY SEE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE TEACHING OF JESUS, 51:23 WHAT WE CALL CONVENTIONALLY "THE GOLDEN RULE," 51:25 TRADITIONALLY, THE GOLDEN RULE. I GUESS WE CALL IT THAT SINCE AUGUSTINE. 51:29 THE GOLDEN RULE SAYS THAT I HAVE TO TREAT YOU THE WAY I WANT TO BE TREATED MYSELF. 51:37 WOULD YOU WANT TO BE A SLAVE? 51:40 WOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE YOUR CHILDREN SOLD? 51:42 WOULD YOU WANT TO BE BEATEN FOR THE SLIGHTEST INFRACTION? 51:46 WOULD YOU WANT TO WORK FROM CAN'T SEE IN THE MORNING UNTIL CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT, 51:50 WITHOUT ANY KIND OF REMUNERATION WHATSOEVER? 51:53 WOULD YOU WANT TO LIVE LIKE THAT? MOST PEOPLE WOULD SAY NO. 51:58 BUT NOW, IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, THE COUNTRY'S LIVING IN AN ECONOMY... 52:03 THAT'S BASED ON THE VIOLATION OF THAT RULE, 52:06 THE DAILY SYSTEMIC VIOLATION OF THAT RULE. 52:12 OUR NATIONAL HISTORY HAS BEQUEATHED TO US A LEGACY... 52:16 OF READING THE BIBLE IN SUCH A WAY... 52:19 THAT IT HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND THE INESTIMABLE VALUE OF EVERY HUMAN BEING, 52:26 THAT GOD CREATED US ALL TO BE FREE AND TO ENJOY THE REST OF THE CREATION... 52:33 THAT GOD HAS PROVIDED FOR ALL OF US EQUALLY. 52:36 THAT'S OUR CULTURAL LEGACY.
