Learn more@edwardjones.com good morning Jane pulleys off today on maraca. This is Sunday morning. We begin today with the age-old question what's eliminating plenty of turns out it comes to the Navy's decision on what to call a future aircraft carrier needs to be named tomorrow for a hero of World War II and of the civil rights movement is David Martin will report in our cover story grifters are usually name for American version is about to be overturned closer personal all I was I was overwhelmed as a reminder to that heroism is in no way limited by race, by gender, by background by rank or writing you listed sailor who will receive an honor reserved for very few Americans. On Sunday morning. Our Sunday profile this morning is Laura darn Hollywood star whose current success now has its very own word as will hear from Tracy Smith little lies myself little women. This is a street fight marriage story addressed Laura Durney since so many great roles these days there calling it darkness on what you think of the term the dharna science. I mean if unspent Laura Dern honor roll later on Sunday morning. Reaching out is a story from Lee Cowan all about a promising approach aimed at preventing people who are troubled from taking their own lives.

Kevin Himes is a walking miracle. I never wanted to die off the Golden gate Bridge. I categorically believed I had to. He jumped off the Golden gate Bridge and survived what might've kept him from jumping at all. Could've been something as simple as getting a letter in the mail radical. I think about it in comparison to what we've been doing ideal long forgotten is back in the fight against Susa on Sunday there. The small wonders that play a very big role in cuisine and culture the world over their dumplings and with caliph SNA will taste a few for the zoo family dumpling making is an art, and trust me, it takes years to master difficult notes exactly as I did not per second. This looks like something I could do later on Sunday morning we celebrate the lunar new one fight at a time. Anthony Mason is on the road to the Grammys with Mumford and Sons Barry Peterson shows us works of Claude Monet on display with Rita. Braver, we mark the passing of the key we clean and more all coming up when our Sunday morning podcast continues tomorrow is the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday as well as the day the question what's in a name takes on new significance. It's a day David Martin tells us that honors a hero and shatters a precedent aircraft carrier is the symbol of American power. Almost all of them are named after presidents directing Sec. of the Navy Thomas Mobley broke with tradition, so the list occurs is going to read Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt Reagan, Truman, Eisenhower, Bush for Kennedy nor exactly right that I like it when you put it that way. That's Miller as enduring Miller the next aircraft carrier to be built will be named for the grandson of slaves and some of sharecroppers.

The official announcement is tomorrow. We decided to do this on one of the king's birthday out of Pearl Harbor is closest surviving relatives Florida Miller and Brenda Haven are still getting used to having a carrier name for their uncle Dori who served in the segregated Navy of World War II is a great honor because it's been a hard long road he was born in Waco, Texas.

In his first name was actually Doris never heard of a man named Doris where did that name come my grandma does examine a girl and when the girl the boy so that's what it name came from Waco has been described in those years is the place with the old South met the wild West. Like much of America back then Jim Crow rule white man was yes or rightly yes ma'am you didn't disrespect whatsoever don't care how old you are. There were no economic opportunities for young black man so he joined the Navy base there Navy policy at that time limited Blacks to those duties that were manual that they thought didn't require a whole lot of intellect Regina Akers is a historian with the Naval history and Heritage command when Dori Miller came in and is limited to the message branch pretty much what doesn't mess up. Basically a muscle attendant takes care of an officer you now disclose shine issues 97 officers mess.

Miller served aboard the battleship West Virginia John Sunday morning, December 7, 1941 was tied up on battleship Row, Pearl Harbor. Dori Miller had just finished seven breakfast and he was sort laundry West Virginia was hit by non-Japanese torpedoes into ball. Miller was ordered to the bridge to evacuate the ship's captain really mortally wounded.

What happened next was dramatized by Cuba Gooding Junior in the movie Pearl Harbor against all rules Miller Cmdr. machine. The irony of this that I can 40s World War II African-Americans were not allowed to have any jobs with a handled machine guns or any type of lethal force when the Navy which Miller joined in 1939 awarded medals to those who had fought bravely. It didn't even mention the name Doris Miller. Why wouldn't the Navy right from the start at least identify him by name instead of calling him an unknown sale 1930 not understand is that of African-Americans that would you like second class citizen. Four months later, the Pittsburgh Courier. Perhaps the leading African-American newspaper of the day finally publish the name Sec. of the Navy grudgingly gave him a letter of commendation in his opinion, that's all he wanted.

However, others disagree. They press black and white press disagree. The national Association for the advancement of colored people disagree is recorded on member service guard in the Navy archives. Pres. Roosevelt stepped in and ordered him awarded the Navy Cross that was now the controversy. There are some people who did not want him to receive the Navy Cross because of his race because of his race. He received the metal from Adm. Chester Nimitz noted Miller was the first person of his race to receive such a high honor. He understood the importance of having a back arrow to encourage other Blacks to support the Navy for Miller went on a speaking tour and became a black celebrity in the same league as heavyweight champion Joe Louis and singer Lena Horne some to send him just as important, just as aspirational just as much help from him is comfortable with her celebrity know not all his goal was really to get to accept he was assigned to the aircraft carrier list convey which less than a year after Pearl Harbor was sunk by a Japanese torpedo Dori Miller was never seen again, hi. My grandmother hurt seems to say had been a white woman they would have treated me better but one and my son is a hero. Over the years. His legacy has been honored, including with this larger-than-life statue in his hometown of Waco but that's nothing like having an aircraft carrier named after him. How many carriers are there right now we have 11 so this is an honor reserved for very few Americans absolutely the last carrier to be christened was the John F. Kennedy by his daughter Carol instruction is not yet known on the Miller before the ship actually gets into the water. It's probably seven or eight years from now. Once it gets into the water. How long is it going to be around 50 years and like everything else that's element about the MLS and addressing criticism. Rest assured, somebody suggests it's more than he deserves. Some may say is just a guy who did is job one general quarters went off on a ship. What's the big deal was your personal all I was I was overwhelmed, it is tremendous. As a reminder to that heroism is in no way limited by race, by gender, by background by rank writing.

The ceremony took place on Martin Luther King Day. Never what would be next month with the king or even the same day that it's beautiful and now page from our Sunday morning on January 19, 1900, five years ago today. Enlightenment ever there was one that was the day French inventor George Claude receiving US for his system of illuminating to tubes filled with neon gas.

Apparently, not quite appreciating what he had George Claude apologetically noted that the color of the light emitted by neon when ignited leaves something to be desired, owing to its orange tint are taking too much of a red far from being the disqualifier neon's bright and garish glow. The perfect medium for promoting nearly every type of business and product.

Times Square was neon's first great showcase guides surveyed the scene back in 1992 with the squares burned out light bulbs spotter's essay about out over time. Times Square has been challenged by the bright lights of Las Vegas, which since 1996 is been the proud home of the Neon Museum final resting place for many of the giant signs that the strength of days gone by.

In this case, what happens in Vegas truly stays in Vegas these days more and more of those traditional neon lights are being replaced by newfangled LEDs still neon now just nothing will ever replace insistent glow orange or no. Now on display within sight of the Rockies works fine artist, perhaps best known for his water lilies. Barry Peterson is our guide putting together 20 works from 15 countries. All of Christmas and holiday at the same time as director of the Denver Art Museum now home to the countries are just moaning exhibit more than two decades and for those who love Claude Monet. The show is like visiting old friend Monet's household name, not just in the world why you think that is Monet is a painter's works on many different levels. It's not like the Mona Lisa that you have a figure that sits in front of a backdrop, the waterlily ponds you have the energy, definitely not in the center.

You have almost this whole web that spreads out over the canvas. It's not a thing in front of a backdrop in Paris in 1840. He began drawing caricatures as a tenet not long after this work was often shaped by events in his life.

In 1870, afraid to be called up for the Franco-Prussian war, he fled to England, eventually leaving to a years long love affair with all things the diffuse light of small he's waiting for the moment when everybody turns on this toes because then the pollution is the highest if you were an art dealer and Monet came to you and said hey I'm in a bunch of smog in London, you probably would've left his face I think is our dealers at one point, try to tell them what to paint this, but he cared what his first works now considered masterpieces were rejected, depressed and destitute. Even tried to commit suicide. Death and sadness also affect his painting 1879 Camille's first wife and his muse Don and he pretty much stops painting people is really more interested in what's happening in the nature and he is interested in the light. Some argue that the last decade of his life make Monet as influential to modern art was impressionist pretests seemed starting here and I'm rather South tell him where he was going think that's a very modern idea curator Gloria grew as at the Art Institute of Chicago, home to its own moaning. Exhibit opening the spring lives are said color field painting very attracted to Frank Ellsworth Kelly artist to paint a campaign. Just when you think about abstract expressions not seen the subject per se that you are seeing something in the painted South doesn't think yes to the next generations Monet, Don. After finding thing and continue to this day we start the bidding on this work. 45 million last $110 million record breaking sales and impressionist definitely deserves to be recognized as one of the most innovative painters standing with one leg.

The 19th century. But really, with you in the modern age.

The Lady vanishes and many years later suddenly reappears set down explores the mysterious story of the painting portrait of a Lady by Gustav clumped she looks unphased. Not a bit like a woman who's been missing nearly 23 years with Italian authorities claimed Friday.

They'd authenticated the stolen portrait of a Lady, painted by Austrian master Gustav clamped as art mysteries go.

How good is this stuff up on with me right art historian Liz Levy told us the decades long real life drama puzzled investigators quite possibly leaves the distinctive style. So take it down to the local palmtop hey I gotta get rid of portrait was reported missing from Italian Gallery in 1997 and this December. Police were called to the gallery grounds after a gardener who'd been clearing IV discovered a hole in the wall and unbelievably painting very good condition. The first thing I got outside in rainy cold Piacenza for the past 23 years, Kate, what condition will be in but it's actually in good condition which indicates it was probably taken away and then investigators plan to do more tests on this claimant, which is actually two portraits, one painted on top of another uniqueness which help prove it was the real thing mostly in Vienna early 1900 best known for the kids. And as Morley safer noted in 2008 is portraits of socialites and arrogant creatures who have no close Liz Levy told us you probably seen worn or sipped from me. Clint patterns something really looking at someone's little gold everywhere.

The recovered masterpieces under lock and key. For now, hidden away with its secrets. How is it in such good shape and where has it been like any good mystery.

There's a cliffhanger but hold the selection of small wonders there Chinese dumplings, a foretaste of the lunar new year that begins next Saturday. Dumplings are a cultural tradition and a family one as well. Our caliph SNA serves up proof want to make sure that this is when the founder and CEO of a multimillion dollar fashion. You have everything stops for lunch, my mom and dad that I lunch with him like that every single day every day every day around 10 o'clock and travels from their office in lower Manhattan is home. We my mom will help prepare our lungs back on the subway will have lunch. It's an hour and a round trip plans away. Mom expresses her love for us in the window say hello is laid is an assistant professor of China studies at the new school in New York all relevant life in China and for Chinese families around the world like zoo family dumplings are an everyday state where the dumplings that the appetizer that the main course is that something on the side. The best part about things as breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, dumplings, they can be found in most every cuisine from Italian ravioli Indian samosas pose pierogies to Spanish empanadas but Chinese dumplings may have been the first the zoo family to go to dumpling pork and cabbage panfried is the same recipe they would use when we were little girl when zoo was born in the small village in China in 1985, page 12, she and her family moved to New York's Chinatown there was a stark difference having to learning."

School system.

Her mother, Sharon worked long hours as a seamstress, her father's shin made thousands of dumplings each week as a cook in a Chinese restaurant. Their skills show in their dumplings or mothers delegate with intricate pleading.

Her father's quick action every single thing is uniformed and in demand freshly now Chinese new year celebration called one of the biggest ration Festival is China probably also around the world and now what are the traditions around Chinese new year. How is it celebrated quite dry food is which foods are lucky to represent Janet E plans. Our very shape of dumpling looks like the ancient currency traditionally says dumplings also provided warmth during cold winters in northern Chinese cities like Beijing in southern China. The most common dumpling is made with shrimp wrapped in a translucent rice to go like Tim Holland Michelin star restaurant and when zoo's house so my mom tried introducing newcomers is part of the fun things. Number two, three or five notes exactly as I did not first second think this looks like something I could do this when teenage son then and daughter making her more than happy to eat their grandparents dumplings. Maybe one day they'll make their own but not today. Wondering if you might be the person to pick up time for the new generation and master the art of making dumplings the art of boiling frozen dumpling. This is intelligence matters with former acting Dir. of the CIA. Michael Morel bridge Colby is cofounder and principal of the Marathon initiative project focused on developing strategies to prepare the United States for an era of sustained great power competition states put our mind to something, we can usually figure it out what people are saying and what we can know analytically and empirically as our strategic situation or situations not being matched up with follow. Intelligence matters where ever you get your podcasts among the contenders for best supporting actress at the upcoming Oscars, Laura Dern, and that's just one of the honors she's received this year alone time for a Sunday profile. Here's Tracy Smith. I hear it's been for Laura Dern. She's into nominated movies. The kindhearted mother and little women crying little girl when she was eating some brass and is a razor-sharp divorce lawyer in marriage story really fighting words.

She's kind of fears the kind of fears that makes the word voters take notice. Thank you. Hollywood foreign press. Dern won a Golden Globe for marriage story earlier this month and this past Monday. She was nominated for an Oscar Dern in marriage story accolades for your before through the years, steadily, but it seems like there's something about this moment that is rather intense. It certainly exciting the idea of a good father was only invented like 30 years that excitement is about her monologue on motherhood written by marriage story director Noah Baumbach. We love them for their fallibilities. People excellently don't expect the same families in. I'm curious what you thought first read those were I read the script and I called nine got his voicemail and cried into his machine for about 10 minutes and when I read the monologue and called him. I said this is the greatest Christmas present I've ever received Christian Mary mother of Jesus, and she's perfect.

She's a virgin who gives birth line of her own little more of his anger, which really makes me laugh that I don't even think I can set your contribution why God didn't even do that which I know cannot because it CVS.

There shall it's worth noting that some of the scenes were shot in an actual law office and always available by phone tax. Except when I'm with my.

In fact, it's the same law firm where Dern met with her own lawyer. She filed for divorce from musician Ben Harper for Laura Dern it seems Hollywood in real life have often been ever since the very real fan of biker movies.

You might remember the 1966, while the angel no and seal of the wildest angels were Bruce Dern and his blonde girlfriend Diane Ladd. They were pretty close off camera to around nine months after filming wrapped Dern and Ladd another premier you were literally conceived on a movie set. True 100% true.

Even better on Roger Clemens biker. I feel very proud of that over here. I want to start looking Laura Dern in the motion picture academies Margaret Eric library in Beverly Hills where they keep more than 12 alien photos things not even she's ever seen your birth. After Brewster my daughter born February 10 oh my God it's so beautiful Hollywood parents helped at least 1974 Diane Ladd was shooting Alice doesn't live here anymore. Laura landed a cameo that's her at the counter with the ice cream cone and she was her mom's date to the 1975 Oscars, I can't help I'm probably six or seven and I paragraph five, a few years later she was in movies of her own still says she planned on getting a college degree but Hollywood intervened UNC's file for how long today's today yes I live but just then she was offered a big role in director Dave Lynch's landmark film blue velvet so you go to the school and say I like to believe that and they said now and they kind of disparage the moving to like this is crazy to go do this radical kind of insane project and give up your college career.

It's one movie you can wait to get out of college, but I knew that it wasn't just one movie you crazy jiffy.

She's possibly involved in murder. Blue velvet made her next level.*And David Lynch put her in other films like 1990s, wild at heart.

Lord, she also found time to work with other directors, like Steven Spielberg, and that little dinosaur. I did get the joke about the Telstra whatever role she played. She was always pushing boundaries like in 1997 played the gay friend Ellen degenerate them out to Dern helped make history. But she paid a price. You didn't work for a year after I didn't and it was a crazy time it was in a way, the most successful time in my career. Jurassic Park just now so is a great time and then there is still nothing from you career came back on course and with a vengeance and believe I need choking so make sure Dern wanted me videos as a woman whose husband loses all her money and talk about range. She was also a Star Wars heroine on a suicide mission. No surprise.

After a lifetime spent walking right up to the edge. Laura Dern now found balance their what you think of the term Dern sans. I mean, if not sure what it is. It really is an amazing time getting to do all of it seamlessly now. There really is a different kind of freedom.

That's why we take risks right and why we say yes you never now what beautiful gift is awaiting. According to the CDC, almost 1 1/2 million Americans attempted suicide in 2018. Could reaching out person-to-person have made a difference. Lee Cowan has a survivors tail. Every moment is appreciated every millisecond is grabbed onto you kid me no way. By most accounts Kevin Hines should be here should be anywhere at age 19 he jumped off the Golden gate Bridge over the fall. The 25 stories 75 miles an hour for seconds. Although the fall shattered his back by you been diagnosed with polar disorder at age 70, but on that day in September 2000 just all became to force Phyllis Ogier so much pain was going through my I've been dealing with this diagnosis for two and half years greatest mistake was lying to everybody who love me believing I was there greatest burden of my hands that it will ruin their life. The sense of loneliness he says was unbearable.

All I wanted was for one person to see my pain and say something kind you could reach out. I could not recheck. I need someone reaching just one person stopped him on the bridge that day. A passing tour to only asked him to take her picture she walked away. I said nobody cares. The voice in my head, screamed, jumped out, I did.

If one person show me an ounce of care. Not until top that.

Could it really be that easy is a simple expression of concern to cut through the darkest recesses of the suicidal mom turns out some long forgotten research psychiatrist Dr. Jerry, University of California, San Francisco, says yes model had served in World War II and he never forgot the impact of writing and receiving letters while he was overseas. They made him feel more connected and that gave him a very simple idea that you are going to make connection you can communicate that you care that's that's important.

That is the seal for wanting to live Christmas emails and the woman who would later become Dr. Morrow's wife Conway were young researchers back in the 60s when motto put together a team to take what was then a pretty unconventional die suicide prevention. I was suicide treated by the healthcare professionals not well.

All too often the physician thought that this was looking for attention right it was it was good. Dr. Morrow theorized that like him if people somehow felt more connected days after being released from a psychiatric facility. One of the riskiest times for suicide that might just be the tether that holds them to life. So he devised a research the involving patients who had been hospitalized for suicidal depression and had refused follow-up care. Between 1969 in 1974. He said half of the patients a series of what he called caring letters. The other half. The control group got nothing. What was in the letters, which is communicating caring and concern truly was just a reaching out with no we can. We probably a lot of people thought that the bit silly at work. We heard people saying oh you're kidding one letter is going to make a difference or series of letters, but you did make a difference actually started getting letters back getting that like me very much. It is beautiful to get a letter from you. Your note gave me a warm pleasant family. Just knowing someone cares means a lot. There was one response. However, the doctor, Morrow called the bingo letter because it was a hint that they really were getting through your the most persistence ever encountered. So you must really be sincere in your interest in me proving the letters were actually preventing suicide would mean scouring California's death records house in Sacramento would talk about bracing ourselves for the reality that we might find names of patients that were hitching. What they found was nothing short of remarkable. In the first two years after leaving the hospital, the suicide rate of those who receive the motto, caring letters was about half the rate of those who did not show that intervention or any intervention can prevent set aside enormous personal Whiteside is a clinical psychologist and researcher at the University of Washington school of medicine who says models.

Research was indeed a breakthrough yet this significant way lottery thing around half how small the field was at the time that he didn't go out and push his message. I really wish that he suicide rates in this country have now hit their highest levels since World War II, the Centers for Disease Control report. There are no twice as many suicides, homicides.

That's despite the tens of millions of dollars being spent for prevention totally different than the cost of the card radical.

I think about it in comparison to what we been doing almost 2 decades now Whiteside is been sending version model letter to her patients like Shannon Lucas, who'd been suffering from suicidal faults. I wanted a different approach.

I've had this therapy and counseling experiences but felt a little stale those years, nobody ever make your appointment say next time between sitting caring letters go through the Whiteside Lucas caring text messages she is telling me what she's been doing.

I write back here on fire and send an image of a woman blowing fire thoughts know they were warm and engaging and comforting sincere instead of just staying in the same mode of being cut off shutting down through her, such as I was able to connect with someone loneliness is killing me be reaching out to the person who disappeared Facebook or maybe the friend to acting on South Dr. motto died in 2050. The age of 93. He lived long enough to see a few other people picking up his long forgotten 90 the CDC, for example, now recommends carrying contacts and healthcare professionals all across the country are also sending out colorful postcards with positive messages to those at risk for suicide. Remember Kevin Hines and now he now travels the country talking about suicide prevention and the role of caring letters. He knows firsthand of their power because he got one himself. It was about my mental Ellis is telling me that the person that I matter that big a difference that we can showing you care about someone not saying it showing it is tangible when it's tangible. It means more so one thing we know that does work. We better be used. We take a moment to mourn the passing of someone you may not have heard of but changed the way many of us eat Freda Kaplan, who died yesterday at age 96 made a number of exotic fruits and vegetables, household names Rita braver spoke with her this past fall.

A lot of people call you the Kiwi Queen name anybody 15 all started because hello Jessica, change the name of New Zealand all Chinese call because Kiwis are the national bird of New Zealand and they look so like so you said great idea right.

It was 1962 the very same year that Freda Kaplan became the first woman in the United States to open a wholesale produce, now called read as her focus specialty products persuading supermarkets to carry what were then unusual items like shallots and ginger. What would you say this might make you money.

What we attempted to label all of our items telling the consumer how to use it and that's how we introduce spaghetti squash.

Have you ever counted up how many products you've either introduced or help promote over the years.

Over 200 instilling the energies and rate foods.

We now take for granted like Meyer lemons habanero peppers, African Hartnell and that's what originally and stranger items and even got David Letterman's attention like Apple grown Africa. This is called today's fleet his granddaughter Alex Berkley is director of sales. These are fast showing off produce like finger lines so when you cut it in half. See all these little bubbles squeeze, it looks like little caviar has taken Apple is faulty and thing.

This is our purpose and potato pie recipe and those purple sweet potatoes make one heck of a pie is my favorite. In fact Alex is the third-generation of women in the family to work at the company. Her mother Karen Kaplan is now president of three does. I felt like he had also called ghost peppers and the world and Freda's younger daughter Jackie Kaplan Wiggins is vice president of the company $100 billion is from this growing tomatoes California facility hi Hazel hi Terry, age 90, Kaplan was going every day until she was sidelined with what she hopes will be her legacy. What people say about you. I feel healthy because of premature births pose a challenge not just for families but for our whole country. Sarah DiGregorio is the wife of Sunday morning producer Amo Monterey preventing premature births is the subject of her new book, chances are you know someone who was born prematurely last year when American babies were born to sin before 37 weeks gestation. Reportedly, Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin and Stevie wonder were all preemies.

That puts me in my family and very good company. We've come a long way. My grandfather was born weighing about 1 1/2 pounds.

My great-grandmother kept him alive by putting him in a very low temperature Aven. I was born about two months early in 1979 and 2014 my daughter Mary was born at 28 weeks weighing 1 pound. 13 ounces. She spent two months in the neonatal intensive care.

Five years later she's the spunky kindergartner in New York City.

So while you may know someone who is born prematurely. You might not know how devastating premature birth is for families for communities and for our country as a whole being born prematurely comes with a host of risks ranging from death to lung disease to neurological and learning disabilities.

The United States has one of the highest rates of premature birth in the industrialized world at 10%.

That's for a lot of reasons, including big problems that are bad for Americans health like racism and income inequality. Babies were born early often need intensive care and life support at birth and ongoing therapies as they grow and that is not cheap. In fact, prematurely cost the United States at least $26 billion a year when my daughter Mary was born. Her ears are still fused to the side of her head. She had one third of a cup of blood in her entire body. Her brain was not fully developed. She was still in the process of becoming herself in a very literal sense the lucky that Mira is now a healthy happy five-year-old, knowing how far he's come. I hope you forgive me for saying I think my daughter is amazing and all premature babies should be celebrated no matter what their outcome has been but just marveling at them isn't enough. We know them more for premature babies just being born can leave them with a pre-existing condition. Not all families can access or afford the care their children need and not all pregnant people can access the quality unbiased care that would help prevent premature births in the first place.

As Americans we can do better than the smallest among us.

All of us deserve it.

I know Rocca thank you for listening and please join us again next Sunday morning progress and crazy to its final season is the point is we need people in the best way to protect people's to final season Millstream exclusively on
