but i want to believe that eleanor saw herer because eleanor made a practice of counting the number of women of color she saw, she was determined they can't beca integrated so sure periodically counting make a note to whatever she thought she saw something that wasn't quite right she would write the camp director. four years later polly applied to the university of north carolina's graduate school. within weeks of her application, the president franklin roosevelt went to the camp to speak. his address was shortly after the midterm elections is a widely anticipated address, people are very excited, arrangements, arrangements were made to broadcast the speech internationally. the franklin roosevelt heaped all kinds of praise on the university first liberalism, for its faith in youth, for its progressive attitude on all fronts. and polly was beside herself because she knew that they did not accept black students but she hoped her application would be accepted anyway. and it was not. wish you read the truth get ordered. transcript -- when she read the transcripts of the president's speech

she was put off by eleanor, too, because eleanor did not have a very strong sense of humor and was durend alice was fun loving. here's what i find so ironic in a way because alice had sort of this flighty image around the country. while eleanor became a cold and distant grandmother, alice was doting and indulgent and like the rest of us. she became kind of sara in a way to her own grandchildren and eleanor went the other way. >> yeah. >> well -- >> i guess i don't quite think she was cold and distant but i think she was proper and she wanted her grandchildren to do, again, do the right thing. we were talking about this before. fdr's children called their grandmother granny. eleanor roosevelt's grandchildren called her grandme are r ee, french. i never talked to any of them that weren't fond of her but it was an event to go see her. but it was an event to go see her. she was mrs. roosevelt. >> even to her own grandchildren. wow. wow. we're going to get to fdr as a grandfather in one minute. but first, geoff, when you and i spoke on the phone the other day mapping out the areas of subject

she was put off by eleanor because eleanor did not have a strong sense of humor and alice was fun loving, but here's what i found so ironic in a way because alice had this sort of flighty image around the country. while eleanor became a cold and distant grandmother, alice was doting and indulgent and like the rest of us. she came sara in a way to her own grandchildren and eleanor went the other way. >> i don't quite think she was cold and distant, but i think she was proper, and she wanted her grandchildren to do the right thing. we were talking about this before. fdr's children called their grandmother granny. eleanor roosevelt's grandchildren called her grandmother in french. they were fond of her. i never talked to any of them that weren't fond of her but it was an event to go see her. she was mrs. roosevelt. >> even to her own grandchildren. wow. wow. we're going to get to fdr as a grandfather in one minute. but first, geoff, when you and i spoke on the phone the other day mapping out the areas of subjects here, you said i want to talk about your book, and i said why? you said it's b

what kind of a grandmother was eleanor? because i remember when i was a teenager, a couple things about her. one, she took a european tour after the war, and she took one of her grandchildren with her on the plane, as i recall. is there anything about eleanor as grandmother considering her background and her rejection? >> i'm constrained by talking about her as a grandmother because i don't know much about her. i think there are people in the audience that do, but they're not going to speak. >> they seem to have a close relationship. it was a girl that she took. i don't remember who. >> yes. curtis was with her in united nations. i really don't know very much about her as a grandmother. that was not a period i was writing about. >> i write a little bit about it. everything that i came upon was always describing her in relation to sara. sara was doting, loving, generous, and eleanor was distant. it wasn't that she was distant but in relation to sara. the kids talk and have written and have been quoted as saying sara was the

eleanor. [applause] eleanor: i want to talk about a hero of the feminist movement. some people are technicolor and some people are black and white, and betty friedan was definitely technicolor. but kate millett, who has been a friend of mine for nearly 60 years, also in her own way made great strides in progress for women. she wrote the other book, "sexual politics," which is known as the bible of the feminist movement. so you have "the feminine mystique" and you have "sexual politics." kate was also called the major theoretician of the feminist movement. she was also called one of the 10 most important people in the 20th century. i knew her in a very, very different way. and by the way, it was said the world was asleep, but kate millett woke it up. i met kate when i was just out of college with a degree in philosophy at brandeis university. and i did not want to go home after i graduated and live with my parents. my mother sort of thought i was a bit of a failure because i did not have an mrs degree. i only had a degree with honors in philosophy, and that was not q

eleanor? >> i certainly second everything that's been said. the media is overly infatuated with the horse race and with controversy. but it has ever been thus. so you have to deal with the reality that you find. and donald trump actually did the disability community a favor by doing that mocking presentation which seared into everybody's brain. and the reporter that he made fun of, i was reading about him, he had a long standing relationship with donald trump. i think he had interviewed him over a course of a number of years, like 20 times. this was not somebody who just wandered into the trump tower one time and caught trump off guard. so the election is going to be about issues to some extent. but it really is a character issue or a presidential temperament issue. and i think donald trump almost daily gives us examples of the kind of temperament that he has, and at the democratic convention clinton actually had a number of people coming forward basically attesting to her commercials. and i t

sara was doting, loving, generous, and eleanor was distant. it wasn't that she was distant but in relation to sara. the kids talk and have written and have been quoted as saying sara was the one they wanted to go to and they called her granny. they called eleanor grandmere as jeff said. that describes the comparison. obviously she loved her grandchildren. you can't not love your grandchildren. >> something you said about her being beautiful when she was younger. i'll be very brief. i went to hunter college. i was about 17. they had every christmas some famous person would come to speak. that christmas it was eleanor roosevelt. she came down the aisle just like this. she was very tall. she was older. she had white hair. she was beautiful. she had a beautiful profile. all this talk about her not being so and i was a kid looking up at her saying what is this stuff they're saying? she's beautiful. she was marvelous on the stage. >> she didn't photograph well. >> in person she was beautiful. >> lovely. >> part of the problem was that she did have v

widely admired, like eleanor roosevelt. these women are suggesting, as is some of the public opinion response to kinsey's books and the popular interest in christine jorgensen that, in fact, people, while maybe living under the rubrics of conventional values are quite interested in some of, if not all, the alternatives. and, finally, there is the interesting and unpredictable or unintended, perhaps, consequences of this growing desire for consumer goods within married families themselves. and the point here is this. we know that after world war ii there was this wave of marriages, pregnancies, births, home buying, suburbanization and this consumerism. remember, i said this earlier. during the war, americans were only producing war goods, planes, tanks and guns. they weren't producing cars, tv sets, new housing, all that consumer stuff. and during world war ii, people were working but they didn't have a lot of opportunities to spend the money they made. savings were increasing. that pent-up savings helps to fuel this consume

so i think taking eleanor's brad's seriously would be a good one. on the first point, jennifer, this is a universal problem. look at the medical research and individual diseases that all see the others as rivals for financing. instead of joining together to try and enhance the overall amount of money going to medical research, they see everybody else as intruding on their turf. that's the problem. it's going to take some creativity to get organizations to see that there is a synergy here and working together at that than somebody trying to intrude on their own turf. somebody's got to take the lead and maybe that's one of the areas respectability could you. -- do. i would take eleanor's .1 step they shouldn't just be about or the. they shouldn't just be about officeholders. it should be about candidates. if candidates don't answer don't answer the questioner, put out something that gives them an app until they respond. and then maybe you get a little more sensitivity. >> it's been interesting because legally our lawyers have told us that we can't giv

martha had a connection that hemmingway hoped would be valuable which was that, eleanor roosevelt was a close friend of her mother, and the roosevelts who this habit of asking all sorts of interesting people to live with them at the white house had, a couple years invited martha to come and live with them while she worked on her writing. but, she found out that eleanor wanted her help answering these correspondences. >> so, she didn't last there very long. but she retained, this very close relationship with eleanor roosevelt and wrote her letters from spain while they were there and after they returned. and, they actually went, and showed the film for the first time to the roosevelts in the white house, in the 1937. it's the most exclusive audience for a film premiere that one can think of. they hope that, this would stir at least the president and if not the american people out of the stance of neutrality. but they didn't succeed. >> we as a country add embargo against selling arms to the republicans over there. but, people that were in power at the time, and, was that ever close to

that's a photograph actually of eleanor roosevelt visiting with herman wells, the president of indiana university, and that's here in bloomington in 1950. right between the publication of kinsey's first book and a second book. while kinsey is working on a second book, and i don't know if kinsey came out to any reception or celebration for eleanor rooseve roosevelt, she was here and embl emblematic wherever she went, of women finding active careers outside traditional marriage. another woman who often appeared on these lists in the 1950s was claire booth luce. we get the impression that women, even though the dmsic arrangements predominated the way most men and women are living their adult lives, domestic marital relations, claire booth luce, while she's married, married to a man -- married to the owner of time magazine, henry luce, but she also is widely admired because she has a public career. serveed in congress. she was a writer. she advocated careers for women. she was a journalist in world war ii. she wrote from the war zones. widely admired. like eleanor roosevelt, these women ar

eleanor? i certainly second just about everything that's been said. overly infatuated with the horse race and with controversy. but it has ever been thus. and so you have to deal with the reality that you find. actually didump the disability community a favor by doing that mocking which seared into everybody's brain. and the reporter that he made fun of, i was reading about him. he had a longstanding relationship with donald trump. i think he had interviewed him over the course of a number of years, like 20 times. this was not somebody who trumpandered into the tower one time and caught trump offguard. election is going to be about issues to some extent. it's really -- it really is acharacter issue or presidential temperament issue and i think donald trump, almost examples of the kind of temperament that he has. the democratic convention, clinton actually had of people coming forward, basically attesting to her character. i thought the young man who dwarfism, who spoke on the stage, again drove commitment to these issues. and reporters kind of make fu

i will do something else with eleanor, i'm not sure. but the first part is a different origin story for this grand strategy project because everyone seemed to be so taken with personal narrative just today. the second part is a discussion inour roosevelt document 1941 atlantic charter. although it was developed as aly with churchill grand strategy at a human rights instrument. think, very briefly i the link between that document, the atlantic charger which was inspirational, to a specific policy debate in our particular context, namely the demise of formorgenthaler plan defeated germany that was being in the early fall of 1944. paper, i discuss atlantic charter -- charter as a benchmark. and 45ond one is late after roosevelt's death a context through the atlantic charter was ignored or denigrated. pacific islands that have been captured by japan strategic territories. the territories of the specific islands. strategic trust territory was a concept, a label that the u.s. navy just pulled out of its in your collectively at the last minute

so i look forward to hearing your questions. >> thank you, eleanor.before we started, rich sent me an e-mail letting me know that sadly brian clawson who was a disabled activists particularly in the autism community tragically died. he asked if we could have a moment of silence for him which i thought was a good idea. but i would add that many in the disability have died lately and that we should think for someone with about the many leaders that we've lost in our community to especially like to focus on the 19 people in japan who were brutally slaughtered while they slept. most people watching on c-span kabul we don't know about this, but very recently in japan at a place where adults with disabilities, particularly significant disabilities live, somebody came into the home and decided to eliminate people with disabilities because that individual thought it was more merciful that they should be slaughtered. recently there was a movie in hollywood, me before you, i really glorifies coverage urging people to a significant disabilities to commit suicide

>> i agree with eleanor.onald trump has done a great job of showing he doesn't want to be president, he wants to be a tv star and a brand builder and i think that's what he's doing. >> tom rogan? >> i think 3 and the only chance he has at this point is if hillary clinton has a major corruption thing, the russians leak forthere's a terrible terrorist attack and he mobilizes fear from that. >> we shall see. thank you for being here. it's an honor to talk to you. eleanor clift, clarence page and tom rogan. >>> before we end today's show i want to take one moment to show happy "a.m. joy" news. our family got big we are the addition of dexter danger adam, the son of our director murray and his wife eliza. and one of our fabulous segment producers khai ma tied the not with her beau in vegas. isn't that beautiful? my colleague alex witt is up next and she will cover what to expect from donald trump on immigration after he signaled a possible shift. thanks for watching. as john mclaughlin would say, "bye-bye." isaac

eleanor roosevelt was there.arthy gave a brilliant nominating address for stevenson and this caused a little anxiety in the kennedy camp and it probably caused a little interest or thought on my father's part, maybe if things were deadlocked he could still win the nomination. he had felt that if the leader of the party and out of royalty to eleanor roosevelt and other supporters that he should be neutral and he was neutral. if he had a chance neutrality was the best way to get there. one statesman told me, he was in father's suite on the eve of the balloting and my father said, when bobby kennedy calls tell him i have gone to bed and left introductions not to be woken. sure enough bobby kennedy called. he said, tell him this is his last chance and he better talk to me or he won't be secretary of state. and he responded, i'm sorry he's instructed me to tell me that he has gone to bed. so, that was the end of any chances for secretary of state. but it signifies something about the relationship not with jack kennedy

delegate eleanor holmes norton's office today at her request to brief her at the status of the monument which has been closed because of elevator issues since last wednesday. >> we had h it open by the end of next week. we think now it will be longer. at the earliest mid-september. >> that really does bother me. this i regard as an emergency situation. sam: now the monument, of course, is important to d.c. tourism. the national park service officials say the alone elevator is a one elevator at the monument. and basically they are going to have to go into a big overhaul program that means having people bid on contracts. it's going to cost about $2-$3 million and take eight to nine months to complete. we will have more details on that coming up on "abc7 news at 5:00". reporting live from the national mall, i'm sam ford, abc7 news. michelle: thank you. turning now to the developing story in italy where at least 120 people died in an earthquake early this morning. in the last hour, an 8-year-old girl was pulled from the rubble in amt virtually wiped out. this is what it looked like before t

his niece was the most famous roosevelt woman of them all, eleanor roosevelt. they decide it would be nice to rebuild his birth place. so this so this is how the site looked. the uncle's house next-door and this two-story building when this idea of memorializing roosevelt came about. so they purchased both properties, they commissioned a female architect, this is pretty amazing because in 1981 this is a progressive idea. interestingly was a survivor of the lusitania, she using the uncle's house, which is i den tlity cal, as a model for the museum in terms of architectural details that really bring the house to live. then they tear down uncle robert's as well as the two-story building and combine both from the ground floor. so we opened up as a public building on what would have been officially on what would have been theodore roosevelt 65th birthday. the house was administered by the women until 1962 when it was dedicated the same day as the home in sagamore hill as part of the national park service. we're going to walk through five historic period rooms that r

some of the names in this address book include eleanor roosevelt, walter and jean kerr, jackie kennedy, john steinbeck, archibald mccleash. >> it hints at stevenson's appeal. he was a very unusual -- he was a non-politician in many ways who was lionized by intellectuals, academics, by men and women of letters. and eventually by millions of americans who proudly declared themselves stevensonians. >> and standing between us is this old office chair. >> yeah, very historic piece. this, in fact, is governor stevenson's cabinet chair. during the kennedy administration -- no doubt we'll talk about this later on -- he had a historic stint as american ambassador to the united nations. and as such, he was made a member of the cabinet. this is the chair that commemorates that. somewhat difficult relationship that he had with the kennedy administration. >> now richard norton smith, you referred to the stevenson political dynasty a little earlier. here on the wall are some artifacts, very quickly. >> yeah. governor stevenson's wife said that the stevensons all suffered from a bad case of ancestor

d-c delegate eleanor holmes norton asked for a meeting with park service officials. she says she wants answers as to why the monument has been repeatedly closed for repairs. as eileen has been saying-- we are in day ten of this heat wave and local departments are adjusting services to protect d-p-w crews in the district say they will again start trash collections an hour earlier, at 6 a.m, instead of 7. workers are getting an early start to avoid those 90-degree temperatures. as this heat wave drags on-- it is the perfect day to get a slurpee at 7-eleven. and you can bring your own cup. the convience store chain is once again offering customers the chance to fill up almost any container with a slurpee for the price of a medium cup. there are some other limitations, like it must be clean, watertight, and actually be able to fit under the slurpee machine. but everything from empty fish bowls to hollowed-out pineapples are still fair game coming up. call it a "loch-mess". swimmers now coming home-- dubbed liars by brazilian police. could criminal charges on the way.. te
