[laughter] after the summer was over my dad had an exchange with john d rockefeller and wrote a letter to mr. rockefeller in which he said that it was a tedious and lonely thing particularly for the women to live in elk basin, wyoming and might it be possible for mr. rockefeller to give a contribution towards the creation of a community center. he got a letter back saying it had been a bad year for standard oil. [laughter] mr. rockefeller could not manage a contribution. [laughter] you can see the bending of the twig, the formation of family values. and what i want to do by way of -- let me see, a present to mike. there it is. mike mike, elk basin was about 175 miles east of puke montana, which was the center of the copper industry according to a wonderful new book about the iww the iww had a strong direct action presence in the area through world war i, but by the time my dad spent a summer in elk basin the iww had been crushed by the anaconda trucker company. some of the workers, the militant rank-and-file workers who did copper had drifted east to the rockefeller oil field and broug

first victims were those rank-and-file producers and locals who struggled under the weight of john d rockefeller's standard oil. a developed baptist, rockefeller was evangelical in his view. besides deeming his extraction of crude oil the dental, he believed that his corporate ventures where ask of do -- ask of redemption. this christian certainty gave him a courageous persistence and capacity for you think and strategic firms, that also a messianic self-righteousness and contempt for those shortsighted mortals who made the mistake of standing in his way. the mortals saw it differently. their champion was a journalist whose name we all recognize from textbooks as a woman who destroyed the standard trust. what is less appreciated is the degree to which in this moment her actions grew out of a wrestling with god and the ghost of her youth. i don't have time to walk us through her history of fascinating biography, someone who has been raised in western oil country to methodist parents, someone who took our methodist face seriously. she was part of a movement which was located just an hour away in new

john f. kennedy also fits nelson a. rockefeller. the resemblance is more uncanny when comparing their interests in the arts environmenty, future of lattin america and their mutual belief in government action to improve working conditions-advance civil rights and promote number deer disarmament. i'm not interested in what i can't do rockefeller said to his aides. i want to do what want to do and it's your job to tell me. governor rockefeller comes to life in this book. no stranger to presidential libraries he has directed five teaches at george mason university, commentator on the news hour on pbs and the inhouse historian on c-span, always a mother to he hum on our stage. mr. smith opens his book, copies of which are in the book store, capturing the compelling drama of rockefeller's courageous address against foe force 0s of extremism at the republican congress venges -- convention in 1946. one of our panelist, his nephew, was there count bassy once introduced his friend, governor rockefeller as, quote rich enough to air condition a

john d. rockefeller's standard oil. now, a devout baptist rockefeller was evangelical in his view of oil.ides deeming his extraction of crude providential, he believed his corporate ventures were designed to rescue the oil business from chaos. this christian certainty gave him a courageous persistence and capacity to think in strategic terms but also a messianic self-righteousness and contempt for those shortsighted mortals who made the mistake of standing in his way. the mortals, of course saw him differently, clawed back with moral critique and their champion was ida tarbell a journalist whose name we all recognize from textbooks as the woman who destroyed the standard trust. but what is less appreciated is the degree to which in this moment tarbell's actions grew out of her wrestling with god and the ghosts of her youth and i don't have time to walk us through her history of fascinating biography. someone who was raised in western pennsylvania in oil country, two methodist parents, someone who took her methodist faith quite seriously. she, in fact was very much part of the movement loc

bodyguard walked through harlem arm in arm with governor rockefeller urging people to maintain the peace. he also praised republican mayor john lindsay for his efforts to calm people down. the famous soul singer james brown played a similar role in boston where a concert was canceled and then reinstated in efforts to keep people from exploding in anger. he was called to d.c. after he was given credit for helping keep the lid on boston of the first black mayor of washington d.c., to do the same in washington. the pittsburgh courier, seen as the leading voice in african-american journalism, had a different answer. no riots hit race mayors. there had been no riots in gary or cleveland. both cities had become the first major cities to elect african-american mayors in november 1967. the courier may have overcompensated for the alarmism from its initial riot coverage. it overlooked the violence in washington d.c., which had significant deaths despite an african-american mayor. the courier did not do this. but you could drill into it and qualify people did not perceive walter washington is having the same status. they also neglected

she has held fellowships from the johns simon guggenheim memorial fellowship for a study in research to the rockefellertion as well as the neh. she has directed four disciplinary neh summer seminars focusing on the women question for college teacher, she has organized a cluster of original historical text and translation and codirected one another seminar on motherhood and the nation state at stanford in 2002. she is a widely published author, and scholarly reviews in many languages. many of you, i'm sure, no doubt have read her foundational article defining feminism and comparative historical analysis that came out in 1988. her latest monograph was -- well latest until the one she just finished was a european feminism 1700 to 1950 a political history which came up with stanford in 2000. and has just been translated in french, as well. in addition to that work and many other articles and collected volumes she publiced an edited volume globalizing feminism 1789 to 1945 which i highly recommend to anybody in this field. she lives in stanford and there she just completed a book on the women question debat

rockefeller's abandoning petroleum, such are the striking signs of revolution that would surprise tarbell and worry beyond measure the likes of john wahlberg. historians shouldn't be surprised, change is what we write about and the fleetingness of the categories. a quick glance at the four turns in the life of 20th and 21st century oil should remind us of that. here in the first place we're privy to a host of characters and dynamics that don't necessarily line up with our conventions of religious and political history. the spiritual calamity of oil in these moments created flashes of insurgents that really shattered familiar binaries evangelical, non-evangelical, and bound on common faith partners along with the non-religious together behind shared ethics of custodianship over earth's most valued treasure. the degree to which the insurgencies disrupt the narratives and produce major religious realignments going forward is a question yet to be answered. what is striking finally is the way in which those locking arms over pipelines in protest have kind of created a transcendent ambition and worry for many americans over the issue of
