hoover is not keen on that. and in 1956, '57 the court begins to roll back the legal measures that were available to attack political dissidents. laws that had been put this place that had begin free rein to round up anybody who is a member of a group that might a spo us to overturn the u.s. government. it was used to put the top leaders of the communist party of the united states in jail. top leaders who are operating for a foreign party, cp u.s.a. its top leaders are controlled from moscow. but this sort of roll back in legal power, this sort of threat of exposing more informants leads to the creation of this counterintelligence program. hoover's memo creating cointelpro calls for actions to negate the communist party penetration of sefk channels in american life where public opinion is molded and espionage and sabotage potential. the last two are illegal, but influence over the masses, ability to create controversy, you may find the ideas of the communist party to be reprehensible, nonetheless, right, those a

but there is no sense that fdr opposed hoover's intel work, either. hoover renews this. his renewal of investigative activities is authorized outside the courts. he discourages roosevelt's administration from going to congress for approval. he is sure they won't get it. congress is suspicious of the bureau of investigation being created in the first place. concerned about creating a secret police force. hoover warns fdr that haters will twist the truth. so fdr resumes political spine without congressional approval. fdr supports hoover's resolution, which ultimately does not come to pass, to get every american in the country fingerprinted. that was the newest technology at the moment. when the people do not want to go to war in europe and want to make sure they do not become involved, fdr response in writing that he sees nothing wrong with investigating groups that spread false information and engage in false teachings. worth noting, his house had been bombed in 1919. that may have colored his views of political dissidents. moreover, fdr has hoover look into political opp

edgar hoover and what his fbi did in the 1950 >> i >> i think the thing that stands out about hoover himself particular was how he he was involved directly with. 'in reading fbi documents, i frequently encountered hoover himself writing on very particular, specific issues about individuals and campuses in jackson, mississippi, saying here's what i suggest we ought i i would have thought that he was too busy for that, that he had other concerns. he's talking to presidents. but he was not too busy to take up the pen and to write to his agents on the ground and say, let's try this to undermine that that individual. that surprised me. >> where do you do your re where where do you go? >> so i have acquired fbi documents through freedom of information act requests. so it was a matter over a period of time of contacting the bureau and requesting documents related to this organization. i can tell you when i started this work it took a long time, i had to wait a long time once i put my request in and was finally contacted by the burrow and said we found 18,000 pages related to the southern st

it is day one, the first of 180 days here in the classroom at the hoover middle school. hoover is one of six middle schools in san jose. one of two that are performing arts schools. over 1100 students and 60 teachers all in class today. two classes everyday dedicated to the arts. misses long spock runs the bandage department and he says infusing the arts into the curriculum daily makes a big difference for the kids. >> i have kids that might be feeling meth or might be doing

buckley loved hoover because he saw hoover doing now. particularly of hoover's relationship to the civil rights movement. with the acting of racism i would not say so but he did not want the status quo to be disturbed. he thought his people as being disturbed and he thought it must be communist behind it because who was would want to bring disruption to the american way of life? as far as the relationship to -- goes, obviously conservatives understood that some degree of government military was necessary to wage the cold war around the globe and curtail the government at some level. then again even the conservative movement starts to change and the republican party changes. it is a clearly overlooked episode within the party itself. there is a big outcry from the eastern wing following nixon's pursuit of the southern strategy. it is bringing in people who do not subscribe to our view of capitalism. the south is never been about free market it has been about industry and agriculture and textile and all of these things with government prot

edgar hoover. five days earlier, reacting to hitler's invasion of france, franklin roosevelt had warned of ominous days ahead for europe. and he called upon americans to act before it was too late. the president's request that hoover, quote, look over those letters and keep tabs on their senders, has often been told as a story of presidential overreach, a demand for a naked political favor in an election year from an executive branch appointee duty-bound to stay out of the elect oral fray. this speaks to a long and rocky history of fbi enmeshment in presidential politics. and here's her key paragraph, i think. hover's cooperative relationship with roosevelt underscores one of the central paradoxes of the fbi director's career. as a bureaucrat and state builder, hoover came of age in the heyday of the liberal state. the tiny bureau of investigation became the mighty fbi during the roosevelt years. in effect, if not in every detail, the fbi was just another new deal alphabet agency. at the same time,

frank is live at herbert hoover middle school in the rose garden neighborhood. it is dark out there, but what are they talking about? >> reporter: you can see the sign behind me. i think kids had a good summer, but school starts at 8:15. classes get underway in a little over two hours. hoover has 1100 students and it is one of two middle schools here in san jose that is a performing arts school. each student can.

and buckley loved hoover because hoover did what he saw as doing that.you know, and one thing particularly is hoover's relationship to the civil rights movement. was he acting out of racism as such? i wouldn't say so but he didn't want the status quo as being disturbed. he saw the people as being disturbed and he thought communists must be behind it because who else would want to bring such disruption to the american way of life. as far as the big state goes, obviously conservatives understood that some degree of government military was necessary to wage the cold war around the globe. this would entail big government on some level and made some level of peace with it but not always. then again, even the conservative movement starts changing and the republican party changes, too. it is a funny thing of it is a completely overlooked episode of history within the party itself. but there is this big outcry from the eastern wing following nixon's pursuit of the southern strategy because it's bringing in these people who don't subscribe to our view of capitali

school has officially started with 1100 students at the hoover middle school. 60 teachers will call this place home until late may. hoover is the performing arts school in san jose and they have a bilingual two-way spanish immersion program. one third of the students learn in both spanish and english during the day. even the signs are in english and spanish. by the times, when these kids get in high school they will be fluent in spanish. >> if they started off speaking spanish or not knowing what word is managed, they are totally bilingual. they get social studies and language arts in spanish. they have a normal schedule for the rest of the day.

buckley left hoover because hoover was doing that.as he acting out of racism, i would not say so, but he did not want the status quo to be disturbed. he saw these people has been disturbed, and he was behind the idea that communist month -- must be behind it. as far as the relationship to the big state goes, the conservatives understood that some degree of government military it was necessary to wage the cold war around the globe, and this will entail the government on some level and meet some level a piece of it and even again, even the conservative movement starts changing, and the republican party changes to. it was a completely overlooked episode of history itself. but there was this big outcry from the eastern wing following nixon's pursuit of the southern strategy because it is bringing in these people who don't subscribe to our view of capitalism. the south has never been about free market, it has been about extractive industries, agriculture, textiles, and all of these things that cry out for government protection and subsidy,

hoover. >> lou hoover. >> she was phenomenal.thing she did from the girl scouts on was just remarkable. so i think tell her story. her clothes can be there. her story and her influence were tremendous. that's the thing to do. make sure everybody understands she wasn't just walking around in the dress. she was also doing something significant. that's true of all of them. >> i just reviewed a brand new book by the university of kansas which has an entire series starting with mrs. mckinney on modern first ladies all done from a scholarly perspective. it gives you more than the food and fashions. i just reviewed a book by a young scholar called jill abraham hunter. it traces for modern first ladies starting with mrs. hoover the relationship between first ladies and american history and particularly feminist history. so i think that's the way to do it as well. >> thank you for your attention and your great questions. please join me in thanking the panel. [ applause ] >> thank you very much to our panel. we have had a ten-minute break.

at the hoover library, for example, one thing everyone knew going in, was that hoover was involved withthe great depression. we created an exhibit at the end of that gallery, where you vote on how you think hoover did. and however you vote, you can see a two minute video showing you the other side. that is one concrete example of that one. but the other thing, in a broader sense, the fact that the matter is, people go to presidential libraries overwhelmingly, not to learn about the finer points of the caribbean initiative, but to have an account or with ronald and nancy reagan. and again, don't condescend to that. the wonderful thing is, if you do it right, if you tell the story properly, if you pull people in, both emotionally and intellectually, which is what eddie good exhibit does, the fact is, the ultimate test the question that i would ask of any museum, what is the measure of success? that is very simply, when you walk out the door, do you walk out wanting to know more? >> i hope we have done that today, too. >> hello. first of all, the session has been absolutely incredible park

herbert hoover knew it was there. but he was not able to exploit that. fdr was. what is interesting to me is by 1939, roosevelt also understood he could not do it by himself. we think of politics and radio in the 1930's and we think fdr. we think fireside chats. in this debate, roosevelt knew he could not be on the radio all the time. he had learned by that point his ability to go on the radio and talk to the nation was political capital he had to spend very carefully. one of the things i have found in my research, even before world war ii started in europe, roosevelt would speak to other .eople he contacted others -- would you meet with some light commanded like-minded folks and talk to them about going on the radio? of more he talked, the more did he would be. he wanted to broaden that. there's an incredible variety of people on the radio. it's not just members of congress. all of these people have access to radio sets during the debate. that is one of the fascinating things. it goes against our stereotype that roosevelt was the radio politician. this debate is

he's a totally different hoover. when you have this vast reserve, i joke about it, we're not ap l apologists. the point is to be as rigorous in your scholarship. the fact is people come to us. first of all, every one walks through the door. secondly, it's like any good story telling exercise. it's extraordinary poi yan gnan and humor. all of those, it seems to me, you have an obligation to our ultimate constituents. those are the people that don't have a phd next to their name but have something just as good. they may be school kids, scholars but they are enthusists and curious. that's all you need as far as i'm concerned to be admitted. >> jeffrey, let me get you in on this before we move in. i was thinking about the work you've done with the bush family. we have a situation where the archives are not greatly open pr george w. bush. there's been lots of culture treatments. any of them critical of the president. how do historians not let popular cultural establish a view that may be different from those that worked i

so, hoover, you know, really kind of has this interesting arc in terms of american history. he goes from this hero during world war i to president to kind of a whipping boy for the depression, but this is illustrative of a larger thing about world war i, is that many famous individuals, franklin roosevelt, george patton, herbert hoover, really cut their teeth in world war i for good and for ill, and will have a larger impact on the u.s. in world war ii as well, carry these experiences from world war i through that. this, too, is great item as well. a number of -- hundreds of belgian children wrote woodrow wilson thanking him for aid. these are some paper dolls sent to him in, i think, roughly 1915. you see the one with the kind of really cute stars and stripes. hopefully we can reproduce that for mass production soon. i'm sure it will be popular. and this is just kind of tying into, it's also worth noting that we often think of the war, again, as just being kind of european, but as you see, american campaign for relief in the near east. americans were trying to raise money f

so hoover thought that he was a communist party member. that's never been proven, but he was left-leaning. louis strauss, who was the director of the atomic energy commission in 1953, didn't like oppie partly for just kind of petty, personal reasons. teller, edward teller didn't like oppie because teller thought he should have been a appointed head of the theoretical division at close alamos. so there were -- los alamos. so there were these people who got together in the early '50s to take down oppie. i think it's because we as a country had come to a fork in the road. and oppie would say maybe we should be rethinking this fork that we're going down in nuclear weapons. maybe we should go a different way. and so in december of 1953 a report was given to president eisenhower saying more probably than not oppenheimer was a soviet spy. so, of course, ike then created a wall around oppie. oppenheimer still had his top secret clearance. a couple days before christmas in 1953, louis strauss had oppie come into his office and say, you know, there'
