one of the staffers observed jackie kennedy and what he calls skimpy in night clothes scattering from one bedroom to another, so he asked president kennedy, should i still come up here and turn the lights out. president kennedy said to go ahead and do what you have been doing, but jackie kennedy went at him, and said you are married to, you know what goes around, be discreet. >> i will take a moment for station identification. the audio for this program, you are listening to "white house chronicle" with myself, llewellyn king, george wilson, and kenneth walsh. we are discussing his book, "family of freedom." it is a very important book about the relationship, physical and otherwise, with presidents and the african-american community going back to the time of slavery and the white house all the way off to the day of an african-american president. you have the opportunity to interview him. we have a picture of you talking to him. >> i did for the book. a lot of people ask what he is like in person. >> if you look very attentive. i would look very attentive if fiat were interviewing the

jackie kennedy? a likely suspect if you are here to say -- today to hear about jackie kennedy. i am told this is one of the largest turnouts for the first three of these in the series on first ladies and i don't doubt it. jacqueline kennedy still has a tremendous hold on the american imagination. others anyone would like to volunteer? other first ladies you consider your favorite? let's move on. why is it that jacqueline kennedy maintains this hold on the american imagination? this is what my talk is going to be about so all the slides will illustrate why this is. here are some examples. i won't make you raise your hand to say if you watch qvc for home-shopping purposes. i only see it when i am racing through channel surfing. i would never stop but occasionally i do. what catches my eye is when they have the jacqueline kennedy jewelry for sale. it would be great if we could all afford the kind of precious stones and jewelry she had. these are costume reproductions of jacqueline kennedy's jewelery. this is the kind of iconography that is available to all of us about jacqueline k

similar thing with jackie kennedy. that was a woman that worked in the white house nameed lilian roger parks who wrote two books. she had been working at a white house. again a seamstress and maid. her mom worked there before her. she had wonderful stories spanning a number of presidents. she did write two books and jackie kennedy had the staff promises they would not write books about the kennedy presidency. the person who distributed the promises did not sign it herself. she ended up writing a book. but it just shows this dynamic that once a staffer writes the book, the first ladies and presidents tend to be wondering if they are talking out of school and what could be said about them. >> host: did race complicate their reaction. had they reactions had the staffers been caw caution? -- caucasian? >> guest: good question. it must have complicated things. the lincolns had their own problem with racial institute. they weren't in the personal lives advocates of abolition until late in the game until the civil war. lincol

a similar thing happened by the way with jackie kennedy. there was a woman who worked in the white house named lillian rogers parks. >> host: yes. >> guest: who wrote two books essentially by the roosevelts and she worked at the white house a seamstress and a maid. her mom had worked there before her so she had wonderful stories spanning a number of presidents. she did write two books and jackie kennedy had the staff sign waivers that they would not write -- promise they would not write books about the kennedy presidency. the person who distributed the promises did not sign it herself and she ended up writing a book, but it just shows this dynamic once a staffer writes a book the first ladies and presidents tend to be wondering if they're talking out of school and what could be said about them. >> host: did race complicate at all, did they react if these staffers had been caucasian? >> guest: i think it must have complicated things. i think the lincolns had their own problems with racial issues even though he's sort of as the great emancipa

they looked at the tour of the white house that jackie kennedy gave in 1962 using, people really like tear much more after that. she a program on abc. a tour of the family's level of the white house. it was very endearing. it was one of the reporters who was going on the store. he says to barbara bush a one. , i understand that during world war ii you went to visit the white house and would walk around altogether. the first lady was permitted. i was definitely permitted. and then later on she goes out on said the white house balcony that have been built by harry truman and sam donaldson sister. you know, mrs. bush, this particular balcony was built by mr. chairman. barbara says, well, isn't that interesting. i would know. i wasn't born then. she had a good time with it, but it really warmed up both of the bushes. george bush walked to one side of the room. a toy chest for all the this pushed selected and the press to have a long history of working on capitol hill to be her press secretary, and she gave for this advice. she said, if i said it, i said it. that meant, if i said something

jackie kennedy was elegant and aristocrat i can. lady bird johnson was always a lady.oking she and the president slept together as often as possible. frankly the fords always seemed like the nice neighbors down the street who genuinely adored each other and their four grown kids who she admitted might have tried marijuana. as a young journalist, just starting to cover washington and beginning to understand that public figures rarely say what they really think, i was surprised by betty ford. she was a feminist when that still put off some people. she said she favored abortion rights. and she openly announced that she had breast cancer in the days when people didn't say the c-word outloud. the one thing i think she did not want to admit while in the white house was her problem with alcohol and prescription drugs. once i was watching a videotape of a white house event where she appeared to be slurring her words. her staff insisted nothing was wrong. in later years, i was impressed that she did go public about her addiction. again long before that became a widely accepted

but they made it there in part because of jackie kennedy really, really, was proud of her husband's administration and their role in promoting the arts in america. we haven't seen a presidential administration since that took pride in promoting the arts in america. and she really wanted the hemingway papers to be at her husband's library. >> i read that he was invited to the kennedy inauguration. did he attend? >> he wasn't able to attend because he was ill. he was suffering, being treated for mental illness and for his liver disease. but he did write a beautiful tribute to kennedy. >> here is the granddaughter of ernest talking about hemingway as a parent. as if as a father. let's listen. we have lost the tape. i hope we can get that for you. tuscon is next. >> caller: good afternoon. my name is tate brown. i am from tuscon. i had a comment about a young friend of hemingway. a very good friend by the name of bill smith. they used to trout fish together in upper michigan. and they later fished together in, off of key west. he was -- there wasn't much n notariety then. he turned out to be a speech

certainly jackie kennedy had brought in a new sense of style and flair and fashion but betty ford was a truly liberated woman and she would get into trouble some. on cbs's "60 minutes" with morl morley, she talked about her children's sex lives. the betty ford center has done an incredible amount for this country. everybody knows somebody with a pill or alcohol addiction. that's her chief legacy. >> a certain generation didn't know where the betty ford center came from. they will today after all this news gets out. betty ford's last years we didn't see her a lot. what will here her last years l? >> in rancho mirage i was out there working on a book on president ford. she was royalty out in that part of california not only because of her nonstop commitment to the betty ford clinic but because she was so warm hearted and generous to everybody around her. she made a great presence wherever she went and her children were deeply loyal to her so she enjoyed being a mom and a grandma the last 20 years of her life. >> okay, douglas brinkley, always good to talk to you. thank you so much. you

someone like her or jackie kennedy purser veered and went on. -- persevered and went on. young guys could learn from that. host: from the detroit free press -- quaker town, pennsylvania is next, go ahead. they hung up. you can give us a call this morning. we are doing this for the first 40 minutes. journal@c-span.org is the e- mailed. asheville, north carolina, thank you for calling in. caller: thank you for having me. betty ford was probably the first most public figure to come out of breast cancer. it shocked many people back then. she opened up a conversation. she saved millions of women's lives. whole movement started and people got checked and found out. they found out that you don't die. if you get checked. she did that. host: was that the initial reaction, schock? caller: as a child, i was in my 20's, i was impressed. i was impressed that somebody of that stature would mention the word breast in a sentence and a candidate's wife that was running for reelection. this was unheard of. you don't talk about breasts. she did and because of her, thousands and hundreds of
