but eleanor lambert changed everything. >> eleanor lambert was a trailblazer.. she was really the first american fashion publicist. an incredible public relations powerhouse. >> eleanor was an art student at chicago art institute. she came to new york and got a job working for a publicist. at the time, opera stars were the biggest stars of the day, and she was promoting them. her boss noticed she was a good publicist. so he said i will give you a desk and a phone, but you can't represent opera singers. you have to find another kind of client client. she said what should i do? he said what do you love? she said i love art. she went up to 57th street and signed up five artists and became a very successful publicist for artists. she was the first publicist for artists. adele simpson, who was a fashion designer, came to her and said, hey, american fashion is really strange because the garment manufacturers don't promote the designers. they don't even know their names. we need to be promoted too. and the french designers get a the lot of attention, but we don't. it

eleanor roosevelt was the champion of this bill.he said other countries are taking their share, and we should, too. she writes this telegram to fdr , asking if he will speak out about the passage of the child refugee bill or if she should. fdr responds, all right for you to support child refugee bills. but it is best for me to say nothing. he never does speak out on behalf of this bill. the opponents of the bill are led by robert reynolds. a senator from north carolina, and it is democratic white southerners in congress and the senate who are deeply anti-immigration. they do not want to be letting in immigrants, and he argues, as you see, that american children have their own problems that we need to take care of american children before foreign children. the contrast between these two polls is at the heart of the exhibition. this is two weeks before kristallnacht, november 1938, and americans are asked what they think. do you approve or disapprove of the nazi j treatment ofew -- treatment of jews in germany? you see 94% of american

eleanor cliff, what does this mean for our democracy?resident keeps saying no collusion, no collusion as though that exonerates him, but apparently mr. mueller is looking at a lot of other different areas, obstruction of justice, much of which the president has committed in plain sight and also the money trail and to what extent the president's finances are intertwined with russian oligarchs and whether there's any leverage there. what it means for our democracy is that we can't take anything for granted. the notion that a dually elected president and he didn't win the popular vote, but he did win the electoral college, a president could even be conceivably cooperating in some way with a foreign power and when you take the events around the time of this fbi investigation, you have the event in helsinki where the president dissed american intelligence agencies and sided with putin and you had the president welcoming the russian ambassador into the oval office without any american press there. there's enough to make you worry but it does s
