debbie's asking if eleanor roosevelt ever rejoined the djr after she resigned her membership. no, she didn't. and i really encourage everyone to go online to youtube and look at that. marian anderson and performance. i can't watch it. know how many times i've watched it without tears in my eyes. and there are several versions of it. it was just a phenomenal thing. and and it showed a lot about eleanor and the way she approached things as first lady, because her first idea was, we'll just invite her to the white house and then she said to herself, that wasn't enough. so she went behind the scenes with secretary of interior ickes and created this whole incredible event at the lincoln memorial. but, you know, she kept her self out of the public eye with that and was behind the scenes. so now we have a question from chandler in virginia. chandler writes, ellen wilson and woodrow wilson had very different views on racial equality. do we know if that caused any friction between them? could you repeat that? there was something that popped up and i took a look at it. no, absolutely. s

he worked closely a first lady, eleanor roosevelt, toward the passage of the universal declaration of human rights. in 1947, he became involved in mediating the escalating conflict between arabs and jews in what was then palestine, because despite what some of what you might hear these days, there was a place officially named palestine until 1948. he was appointed to be chief aide to the lead negotiator. however, in the midst of the negotiations, the lead negotiator was assassinated by terrorists in jerusalem. bunch then became the acting lead negotiator, he worked tirelessly for 11 months. he brokered the disagreements between the new nations of israel and its neighbors, egypt, jordan, lebanon, and syria, to end the 1948 arab israeli war. renowned for his friendly negotiating style, bunch nailed down most of the agreement wall playing billiards with arab and israeli representatives. -- in 1950, he became the first black person and the first person of color to win the nobel peace prize. here is video of him accepting the award. he was admired for his unwavering commitment to peace as

and, of course, eleanor roosevelt, always with a very pithy comments. but, you know, i think relationship wasn't that unusual. i mean, presidents and vice presidents being in lockstep is something is a much more recent evolution of the office. so the fact that truman didn't know i mean, it is mind boggling to us today. but most vice presidents have been left in the dark on many matters, especially of that importance prior to. that's for sure. and also more generally know roosevelt was not only commander in chief, but commander of chief of a country that was still fighting a global war. mm hmm. tell a little bit about what you've learned about what it means to americans. for a president as commander in chief, in our modern times. you know, the steward of nuclear weapons and so on to suddenly gone and have that power be in the hands of someone who was an untested and little known person. well, the only thing i would say with regard to kennedy is that i'm certain that people felt that lyndon johnson had, the preparation from his years as being in the congr

roosevelt, but truman came up with his own idea, went 15 days on a train to california and said i'mviews. just seeing the vis taj of them, and did it in the midwest. joe biden might want to do that with a bus, a train, find a way to let people feel you, be there, without being as the governor suggested in that rose garden or bunker. >> you know, i was thinking about this as i read this new abc poll, which mirrors what our nbc poll says, doug, that they think 86% biden is too old to serve another term. a lot of people thought that about ronald reagan, and in 1984, he had one of the most memorable lines in presidential debate history. this one. >> i will not make age an issue of this campaign. i am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience. >> i mean, monodale had to give him that one, right? reagan was younger then than joe biden is now, but is it our view of ageing that's changed? is it this particular circumstance? what's going on right now? because as much as joe biden has tried to joke it away, that hasn't worked. >> well, in 1981, ronald re

roosevelt there and he was lumumba's ambassador to the u.n. and how old 26, i think all right. all these people were in 20, 30 years. lumumba at this time was 34. okay. i'm 40 now, and i have not yet run a country. you would be the grand old statesman. exactly. it's politics and and yeah. thomas kanza was, you know, endlessly frustrated with his friend lumumba was an ally of his. but lumumba sort of rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. he was impulsive somewhat erratic, but he was also dealing with a fast moving and lots of, you know, various plots against him. right. and then talk about a couple of other figures, kasavubu, for example, tell us a little bit about him. so he was congo's. so lumumba was prime minister. kasavubu was president. he was older. he was taciturn and silent and not a man of action, but much more a wait and see and stand back and make his name by time and. he also was a of a separatist sort of he was from the congo ethnic group and sort of advocated a form their own self-rule. he advocated this you know in different way

so eleanor roosevelt persuaded her husband to train them.e navy was going to give these 16 college-trained black men in eight weeks what they gave 16 weeks to white cadets. when these brothers found out what the deal was, they covered their windows of their barracks and stayed up and studied all night and when they were tested, they scored in the 09th percentile -- 90th percentile. so the navy said they cheated. the navy retested them individually. they scored in the 39rd percent -- 93rd percentile. that score today stands as the highest anyone ever achieved today. so to me this demonstrates that the best defense against disrespect is superior performance. host: robert woodson our guest at 10:00. if you want to ask him questions it's (202) 748-8000 for democrats, (202) 748-8001 for republicans, independents, (202) 748-8002. black voters, if you want to ask our guest a question, (202) 748-8003. you can always use that number too to text us if you wish. if you look at the issue, what our organization does, and crime in communities, what are th

you have to put her up there with eleanor roosevelt, and as a secretary of state and presidential candidateus about jill biden. what did you learn about her role? we didn't know her as much as michelle and laura but not melania. >> i think she's somebody like him who has been around a long time and has a lot of years to develop al manicured and polished look. i found out in reporting the book that she often has her own audience, and she is very influential. she's not somebody who has an office in the west wing, but she has advisers on senior calls every day with west wing staff. she knows everything that goes on even if she's not physically there. >> she strikes me like a nancy reagan, and neither may not like that comparison, but protective of the husband and if you get out of line, you're dead to me. >> i think nancy reagan was much more willing to go to battle with the chief of staff as she did on the front page of the "new york times" as you might remember. i don't think jill biden has any sort of desire to do that. i think she provides advice to her husband in private. i don't think sh

lizzie mcduffie and what was she doing as a maid in the roosevelt white house? you look at who is in the room, who's how did their outlook change and how did they change society? i mean, eleanor changed society because she was so out there and just doing doing everything that world stage. thank you all for joining us this morning. you to the panelists at the. no, no. with the american soldier, it goes american medicine backing him up by his side with him and his advance in wartime and in peace. the medical department carries on fighting disease, healing and rehabilitating the sick and wounded and constantly working to search out disease vectors to prevent, detect and control epidemics. to pursue this mission, successful early, the medical department was backed up by a far flung network of laboratories stretching from north to south, from east to west. clinical. public health and research laboratories were required everywhere. diseases new to the army doctor were being encountered. new diagnostic procedures. methods of treatment and control had to be developed an

and incidentally, he treated eleanor bruni's disclosures.burns wrote, which are full and authoritative as anything we are likely to have on the matter will force us to revise the most and most interpretation of the significance of roosevelt's condition during his final year. this was surely music. the ears of the three coconspirators. burns book remains the primary for most, most subsequent biographies with respect to fdr, his health, the final years. i call that paper the gospel according to brewin anna never said anything publicly, and she died in 1975. but bruen continued to promote and enhance the deception in interviews and films. and shortly before his death in 19 until and shortly until shortly before his death 1995. at age 90. his last interview was with doris kearns goodwin, who included portions of it in book no ordinary time, which also won the pulitzer for biography in 1995. conventional belief still holds that other than polio, fdr was completely healthy until march 1944, when dr. bruhn wholly unsuspected congestive heart failur
