after ellen's death, no subsequent first lady lobbied for legislation until eleanor roosevelt entered the white house in march of 1933 during her first week there, she went up to capitol hill and began to lobby for an alley bill. as we all know, she lobbied for a lot of things in the next 12 years. and after her, most first ladies have felt they could and should have a cause of their own. this book festival was founded by laura bush, whose cause was libraries and literacy. arguably, a direct connection between ellen wilson and where we are today. i also discovered that being close to a president may seem glamorous, but it's very tough. all three of the women involved with woodrow wilson paid a heavy price. but i think that ellen realized this. she, of course, died in the white house. mary peck had wanted to go to the white house, but she wound up in a boarding house on the wrong side of the tracks. edith had to nurse an invalid in the white house. but ellen could have been speaking for all three of them, when she wrote woodrow at the end of her life, this has been the most remarkable

honoring a woman one of our holidays honors american women how about one of the suffragettes i love eleanor roosevelt but know that she is too controversial but we've got i couldn't agree with you more this country has benefited from the. many influential women in its history and they deserve recognition there are museums and galleries and foundations that all pay tribute to the achievements of various american women but we have yet to honor one with a national holiday i think it's about time we change that our next comment came from the viewer rant line saying obamacare is boring you to be republican negative comments about the affordable health care act please quote the meaning given to it. there before about how care act obamacare thank you. james the actual official name of the law is the affordable care act not health care which i'm sure you'd agree is not quite as memorable as obamacare and personally i don't think there's anything wrong with the term obamacare in fact more and more democrats are starting to use it even the president has used it albeit one quoting republicans i think it's a goo

eleanor roosevelt heard about it. she passed it on to franklin and he thought it was kind of cool and gave it to donovan and he had stanley lawll check out. they loaded the plan up with a bunch of bats with incendiary devices around them and flew over somewhere in some desert area, drop the bats. guess what happened to the back? they sank like stones. the idea didn't work. but donovan was willing to try it. one other spy operation scheme he had once stanley lovell had female hormones. if they could find hitler's vegetables they would inject the hormones in the vegetables and make his mustache fall off and give him a lot falsetto voice which would be a real bummer to the viewer. eventually donovan build a spy organization and over 10,000 covert operatives and espionage agents and research analysts support personnel scattered in stations all over the world. again a remarkable achievement considering we started with one guy, wild bill donovan. they mounted the for operations in north africa during the porche campaign in

for me, fortunately, there were enough mentors, people out doing the thing, there was eleanor roosevelty was langston hughes, and there were a lot of folks who took the challenge. by the time the second world war came and i got involved with that, that rounded out the picture for me from a universal perspective. i saw our human commonalty with the events that unfolded during that war. when i came back to america, expecting all the things we had preached about that war, for democracy, to end racism, to have no superior race, but all people come together in a social harmony just was denied black people en masse. we had a choice to give into that or to rebel against it. many of us took the road of rebellion. >> let me show you a clip that is important to me. you became a megastar, but you also sacrificed a lot. here's a clip of you talking with president john kennedy during the civil rights era, a time when people, particularly black artists, but any artist, was to be honored to be talking to a president. >> as a negro and as an american i have many questions, and i'm sure everyone does. >

you've mingled with duke ellington, paul robeson, muhammad ali, alina horn, eleanor roosevelt, president doctor king? >> beyond being deeply moved by his intellectual capacity, it was his humility and the kind of humanity he revealed whenever he walked into a campaign and was deeply concerned about whether or not he was doing the right thing. not morally but tactically because always there was the threat that people might get hurt, somebody might be taken out, and he felt a great sense of responsibility and burden for making decisions that would put people in harm's way. those of us who sat in his circle had to continually reinforce the sense that what he was doing was not only morally correct but socially necessary. and he took some comfort in the fact that we encouraged him. >> you encouraged him in becoming a civil rights leader yourself. and you write in your book why had i jeopardized in some ways damaged a career trajectory that had made me at 30 the world's first so-called black matinee idol? how do you answer your own question? >> i would say a lot of it is good fortune, the coin

it was also the work of eleanor roosevelt, the president did who chaired the commission which dropped the text. now in that text, if it is cloaked in a with sympathy and not only with the critical few, it can be criticized. every text can be criticized. but if we look at this with some sympathy, we will find in everything we still need. there is an inward to be changed. if you take the articles on social right, the right to social security, the right to a job in the right to school, it all in there. and i must admit under the pressure of the eastern countries, which have the time were members the united nations, even if some of them in the final analysis are promoting it because civil and political rights were not entirely satisfied very to them. but if you take the text as it is, i think it is still the basic instrument for anybody in the world who is now living in the tutorial country or in a corrupt country to say i want these rights and they are there in the declaration. they were carried over into the two paths and there is a council on human rights is working on them and there i

babe ruth and eleanor roosevelt are a few of the many adopted children who have transformed the world we live in today. since roe v. wade, more and more women are being persuaded that abortion is nothing more than a simple medical procedure that will help them move on with their lives. this could not be further from the truth. a study of patients in california revealed that women who have had an abortion were 160% more likely to be admitted for psychiatric treatment than those who carried a child to term and delivery. these women who chose to terminate their pregnancies had to deal with the psychological devastation that is associated with such a decision. adding harm upon harm, abortion is a procedure that brings mental trauma to the mother and damage to the unborn. because of this, the policy of the federal government for the last 35 years has been to ban funding for such a procedure. studies have shown that when the government subsidized abortion, their number increases. the president, a supporter of abortion rights, has stated his commitment to reducing the amount of abortions in
