or president william mckinley. but what we do in this exhibition is that we put those portraits in conversation with portraits of figures from cuba, from puerto rico, from guam, from the philippines, from hawaii. in order to complete that narrative, to complete the history, to present the different perspectives, and really to provide a panoramic outlook into these history. well, we do start with president mckinley. he's right here, 25th, president of the united states. why is he important to this story? well, he was the president of the united states during the war of 1898. and this is a fascinating portrait. it's a portrait that was painted by the preeminent 19th century puerto rican artist francisco estatal, who is really known for his intention to create a vocabulary of puerto. we can visual identity through portraits of puerto rico's intellectuals, through landscapes of the island, through still lifes of tropical fruit. here, however, he's doing something very different. he has created he has painted a portrait

so he starts to paint william mckinley from a photograph and offers it to mckinley. mckinley declines because the portrait is not super favorable to mckinley as a likeness. the sergeant portrait of theodore roosevelt is much better in terms of flattery. so what is fun and interesting for us, and i think very important as a historian, is to have art broker a bridge through time with our more than 2 million visitors who might not know this history. they might not understand that the united states acquire puerto rico, the philippines and guam and cuba. for a brief time in 1898. and that summer, they also annexed hawaii or hawaii as we know it. another portrait that we have on view is that of queen lili lani, which is the portrait by william cogswell that usually hangs in the illinois palace in honolulu. and we were able to facilitate a very important loan because her voice is so important, and she's a major sight line in the exhibition. and not many people understand that the united states, under mckinley's presidency annexed hawaii through a joint resolution, which is

he didn't have all that much experience, at least compared to mckinley. he was viewed sort of this young thing that couldn't really be controlled. and so the best thing to do as someone who can be controlled was to shove them into the vice presidency because it was such a useless position. and that work out. yeah, he definitely got the better that deal right. but i think that because he was so because he kind of felt like he had so much to prove and he had prove to the american people there's a good reason to, try and move forward and articulate new vision. i think it's also just consistent with who he was. no, i think exactly. right. and to use the lbj, if you look at johnson's numbers, they were very from november of 63 through his in his own right, january of 1965. and reason that's given for that, there were a number of reasons. but one of them is that during that period, johnson would almost never given an important speech without referring to our late beloved president. president and people like that. and by january of 1965, he really flipped, barel

hey, next, we have a question from john, who's asking if you could comment on the views of ida sexton mckinley toward her african-american neighbors and servants at the white house that her neighbors that i can't do i haven't done as much research on ida mckinley on this particular issue. but i will dig into that one, too. excellent. our next question is from sally in tampa, florida. first lady hillary clinton certainly did important work towards human rights for all people, and she noticed she's not mentioned. so i just wanted to provide some space here if she wanted to say anything about first lady hillary clinton. well, you know, hillary clinton certainly was a civil rights activist. if you if you go back to even her early days, right outside of law school work she did in law school as a student with internship projects. she also, you know, worked for marian wright edelman children's defense fund, everything that she did in terms of children's health care was looking for equality. but as i said, i had a limited amount of time and everyone seems to know a lot more about hillary and what she'

his presidency of course began suddenly with the assassination of william mckinley. but before we get to that were going to talk a little bit about president roosevelt the campaigner. he has the nickname the bull moose he was a man of boundless energy, quite an intellectual and quite a physical presence in modern politics he be the guy that sucked the oxygen out of the room when he answered it. so bob khanna in your book you talk about a conundrum for roosevelt. he obviously enjoyed train travel and traveled extensively. is also the first president to fly an airplane. and of course that was after his administration. when he traveled for campaign for vice president with mckinley in 1900, he traveled 21000 miles during that campaign on a train and made 673 speeches according to your book. here we have a picture of him making a speech from the rear platform of an observation car. can you talk a little bit about what that speech was like and how it unfolded when the train arrived? >> when the train got to a certain city would come out on the private car like you see in t

i eventually graduated from mckinley technology, mckinley tech. and so. i want you to i want you to talk about where have an opportunity to go from your from what you learned historically and in the english school system, in the british schools, in the british, about the british system and where we are as a country. and, you know, just from talk about that experience, a little more that i know you yeah. thank you. yeah. i think my background as an organizer growing up on long island and seeing, you know, the high stakes testing rollout across the state was quite formative in my own understanding and political consciousness. and then i would visit places philadelphia and and meet actually here in d.c. and in portland, oregon. and we'd all come together and we talk about some of the challenges of market based school reform, because we'd all been we'd grown up as the generation of the no child left behind era. and and testing, you know, constantly came up in those. and it's something that john carlos in the book was was a was a great critic because he found

america to remove its presidents by physical means, not only kennedy, by the way, but harding, and mckinleynk there is nothing, i don’t know whether one of them will live to see the end of the presidential race, he probably will, god willing, but even after becoming president, at that age they may well be replaced by another leader, and who will be faced with a refusal agenda from these very neoliberal values, very interesting a comment about economics because everyone is banging their heads against the walls right now trying to figure out what it is? is happening to the russian economy, you were right about the types, there is a military economy, but when they say that the russian military-industrial complex saved russia from an inevitable economic collapse, even the imf objects to this, in general , quite reasonably, yesterday there was a very interesting interview with the deputy director, the manager of the imf, and of course, yes, the military-industrial complex contributes to the development of the economy, but the russian economy. is not military analytical figures remind us that dur

i mean, william mckinley ran on the slogan of a full pail, so that the notion that is government responsibility for prosperity dates the 1930s, i think is erroneous. what i wonder about after seen that film is this we have in 1929 we have the man who could have saved it dead two years and in 1946 we've got the man who might saved it dying. so what i have to ask, is, are we doomed to find out the right answer only to. is it possible that for somebody who's recently died, rummages through the morgue? well, you know what? i think the question is a very different one. and it goes to much of the discussion this point. everybody looks for the right man. you say government those men at that time, quite right. but a system which depends the right man is a bad system. the federal reserve was a bad system because depended on the right man working. it. the idea of demand management, of the kind of thing we're talking about where keynes's death mattered was a bad system. it depended on a particular man working. the notion that the problem that public women brought up, that the problem is not the government

frederick mckinley jones, a blab inventor who made it possible to transport blood and donated organs across this country. his invention alone has saved thousands of lives. today we continue the history of excellence. dr. corbet helped create the covid vaccine. dr. glovers was the first to live on the space station for an extended peer of time. the president of msnbc and first black executive to run a major news network. brian stevens, executive director of the equal justicing orny seys, helps millions get the justice they deserve. and today's congressional black caucus is filled with political leaders who have triumphed over adversity. their stories are exceptional examples of black excellence. yet these black americans are only a few of the millions who have worked to help our communities and our country every day. and their work inspires african-american schoolchildren everywhere to find their own means to achieve black excellence. with that, mr. speaker, i yield back. mrs. cherfilus-mccormick: i i want to thank the honorable donald payne. i want to welcome our next speaker, the ho

and when mckinley era says the plan is to get up by 1965, it needs to be faster. we need to ramp our efforts. we need to make sure it happens more quickly. the money that we're devoting to this is too high. we can actually cut funds and the whole the money is a very interesting story. so it's a it's a one day conference on may six, the following day, mcnamara flies back d.c. and he has a private meeting with kennedy. and this picture? no, that's actually so this is actually a picture of the cover of the book is a picture of the october meeting. max taylor has been cut out. and this is also not the usual that you see from that meeting. the usual one is kennedy sitting back and you see, taylor and mcnamara on the couch. and it's a great shot. and it was the one that was in the papers. but i was thrilled that they found this because the folks at harvard in many ways, for me, the story of the book, which is that this planning was and we can talk more about this was mcnamara's plan and not kennedy's plan. but back to the may 6th meeting. it's a meeting just between tho

for a time as when he was commissioner and under the mckinley and he didn't much washington, d.c. he did traveling the country. and one of the things he had to do is railroad commissioner was go around, particularly the west, the far west, to literally inspect the railroads. and he met with wild acclaim wherever he wherever he went. but he was a southerner. and he and i'm so glad you asked the question because thing that's very clear from longstreet's writing again tuning in, his voice so important is that he believed he made his decision in 1867 out of loyal loyalty to the south, in defiance of the south. and that sense, the title is a little misleading and i that to the editor and he was like you you'll have opportunities like this to kind of explain that but but but in a sense he really believed that it was of loyalty to his kinfolk to his people, to them turn page and he says so again, his words are so remarkable among the things he writes in those letters in which he announces his support, reconstruction is in effect, we have to perform the funeral rites for the confederacy.

you have democrats opposing wilson and republicans opposing tr and mckinley so trying to get congressionalersight, to me that's a tall order. justin: you can put me down is a repeal and don't replace on the 2001. i don't worry much about the alacrity absent those authorities. i see dan mccarthy down there. i know everybody in the audience apparently today. victoria: we must be in your house. >> i am from modern age. since my name is mccarthy, i will name names. the name i want to bring up his victoria nuland. we talked about personnel being policy and it seems like there is mrs. newland who crops up whenever we have a foreign policy crisis, under the george w. bush administration, under the obama administration. she has a way of hanging around despite changes in republican or democratic administrations. it will be interesting hearing about the kind of power and influence someone like that wields how that person is able to maintain influence in government. there are other folks who might be in similar positions as well. you can comment on her or on other figures you might be seen as being i
