Welcome friends, you're watching Weekends with Anacasparian, Nando Villa is out, but that's

okay because we have the wonderful Paul Prescott joining us today.

Paul how are you?

Good.

How are you doing?

I was doing good.

Just saying before I look enough like Nando, maybe no one would notice, you know, would

have been an interesting experiment to see if people noticed.

Well I mean, I highly doubt that, but you know, this is the first time you and I are doing

a show together and I'm really looking forward to it because I learned something new on the

show every day from Nando's, you know, decodes and you, as I work with people more and more,

you just kind of get to know them and what motivates them, what they're passionate about.

And you know, I did a, like I skimmed through your decode today and it's going to be fantastic

and I think it's very much in line with this theme that we have going on with the interview

today as well with Eric Foner.

He's the author of Reconstruction.

He's also the Emeritus Professor of History at Columbia and a leading expert on Reconstruction.

So it's going to be a great conversation today and we're going to have some fun, especially

at the top where we're going to address one of your comments that I'm really excited

about.

So, Kale, if you don't mind, can you bring up that super chat?

Because it has to do with the story we covered last week and this is a fantastic update
