eleanor roosevelt. when they first branded a communist, i was supposed to have felt horror. i did not feel that. i felt annointed. all of the communists or people defined as such, they became my wish list for people i wanted to be like. to follow their path and be influenced by their mission curiou. this carried me everywhere i went. they were upset with nelson mandela and others. every time i looked around for what made us the most upset, it was the people who were most impressed. tavis: when you use to the communist word, -- used the communist word, you said you were hanging on. when one is a free black man, to your point, you express yourself when you want to. there is a price to pay for that. people pushed back and challenge you in a variety of ways. i know how i feel as your friend when i hear people say things about you. not a you need help from me but i always have your back. >> i need all the help i can get. >> i know who -- tavis: ino people who are dismisses of -- i know people who are dismisses of view. what did you do for your friend paul robeson? he got maltreat

>> my favorite chapter turned out to be the eleanor roosevelt and franklin roosevelt. it was complicated. he had his girlfriend in a bed room next to him and she had her girlfriend living next to her. the american public didn't know any of this. that is the thing about the story. franklin's girlfriend turned out to the essentials to helping these figures become the great heroes of american history who led us through the great depression and the second world war. the central piece of their stories extramarital relationships and an important piece which was long ignored by historians. >> let me take a caller. let's hear from a caller in auburn, alabama. we discuss "1 nation under sex". >> caller: thank you for our old good work. one of your buddies, woody harrelson who plays you in that movie, online porn plays a big part in his life. how much does it play in your? >> you say online porn? >> host: that was his question. >> guest: we have a web site. it is not relevant in my life at all. it is true that much more material is available now because of the internet that was

eleanor roosevelt was there. mccarthy gave a brilliant nominating address for stevenson.tle anxiety in the kennedy camp. it probably caused a little interest on my father's part that maybe if things deadlocked he could still win the nomination. he had felt that as a leader of the party and out of loyalty to eleanor roosevelt -- loyalty should be neutral. the former secretary of labor who was also involved in state administration told me he was in my father's suite on the eve of the balloting. my father said when bobby kennedy calls, tell him i have gone to bed and i have left instructions not to be woken. sure enough bobby kennedy calls. he said i have to talk to the governor. you just tell him, this is his last chance. he better talk to me or he won't be secretary of state. he responded, i am sorry, but he has instructed me to tell you that he has gone to bed. that was the end of any chances for secretary of state. it signifies something about the relationship not with jack kennedy but the very protective circle around jack kennedy. that would come back to create other p

roosevelt, for his part, took a shot at donovan. had surrogates do. eleanor got on the campaign trail and started criticizing him during the election. donovan lost that election. turned out he was a horrible campaigner. if he was here talking to you in a small group he could turn on that irish charm and he would have you've totally wrapped into what he was saying. before a large group though, he was a wooden stick figure, just terrible as a campaigner. in fact, his lieutenant governor, a guy named davidson, that donovan should be running for lieutenant governor and he should be running for governor because he was so lousy. the reason i mention all this by background is it's amazing that roosevelt may donovan his top spymaster in his administration, considering all the nasty things these two guys said about each other in new york. but fast-forward to 1940, 41. roosevelt is building the country up, telling the defenses up, preparing the nation for war. donovan, even though he is a conservative republican, he thought the new deal was a calm spot to take over ame

because eleanor roosevelt with be the exception.was very much ahead of his time on civil rights. and it comes out of some of the same things that were in "one world" about democracy, anticolonialism. offense strongly opposed and insisted that colonialism had to disappear in the name of democracy and he insisted that equality could only be achieved if there were equality at home. so he connected this international one world idea with the necessity of justice for all in the united states. he walked the walk. he spent a lot of time working with the naacp. he worked with hollywood filmmakers to remove the horrible racism in hollywood films in the 1930's and 1940's. an advocate ie was for racial justice, a supremely important advocate, long before most americans, white americans were in that position. >> call from columbus, ohio. >> you just took the words out of my mouth. i was just about to say that. i was about to say what did wendell wonderful say about the african-american community in indiana and how racism was and how the ku klux

roosevelt. he had mired eleanor but when he was in a moment of great anxiety, i don't think he would have finderompany, probably would not have spent a lot of time with her in a crisis like this. in the case of jfk, who does he turn to? jackie. >> would any parts of this cd set and books, dick, that surprised you? >> not really, but i must say that i was marveled at her concern about, for instance, the remodeling of the white house. the detail that she went to and that she had to research that she did, and then her ability to administer it is really overwhelmingloverwhelming. i just can't believe a person could do it on such notice and russia been planning much longer than we know. spent i think it was, when she came to the white house, 11 experience with mrs. eisenhower who did not treat her terribly well. she was shown through the state rooms, and she said they look like bad convention hotel. there was a reason for that, which i'm not sure she knew, which is when the white house was reconstructed during the truman administration, they left the four walls on the outside, scooped out everything
