monroe and mrs. monroe were instrumental in paying a very publicized visit to madame lafayette's imprisonment to help convince the french authorities not to execute her, as they did members of her family previously, but to let her go eventually. so they had a role in engineering that. when monroe was president and lafayette did his famous visit here in 1824, monroe received him at the white house. although trying to keep it somewhat low key, not make a big state visit affair of it, he made it known he would have a place to stay basically and a hot meal whenever he wanted to come by. it was truly a lifelong friendship that went right up to monroe's death. >> he spoke french? >> he did speak french. as i understand, a smattering of italian and was competent in parsing some other languages too, i guess spanish as well to some degree. but, yes, french -- i'm sorry. >> and of course latin and greek. >> of course latin and greek, yes. but i think that the use of french was both something useful in his dipl

monroe. the monroe wonders why his pro french statements were inappropriate. i could not conceive why, such dissatisfaction should be shown on account of my presenting to the convention publicly, those documents. which tended to prove how strong the feelings of the administration were, in favor of the french nation. the president gives the answer. the great and primary objects of the administration was to preserve the u.s. in peace. by pursuing a conduct strictly neutral. it was not essential then, or beforehand the with what a reception was supposed to be. to make a parade of sentiments. and however pleasing to one issue, which might create unpleasant feelings in other nations, for whom we are also in peace and with which to remain so. >> monroe reflects on this his departure from france, and upon but your reflection therefore it appeared that i had no alternative, which is to remain where i was, and continue with the functioning of my office. as not withstanding the embarrassments to which i might personally be -- . we i result there for, to stand firm in my

monroe. when that he described in a letter written later in his life. though young at the commencement of the revolution, i took part in it. its principles have been very ably guide me since. nothing could be more deeply fixed, than the judgment and heart of any war, that are the principles of our free system of government in mind. a james monroe was born, april 28th, 1758 in westmoreland county. as will not possessing a large line holding or wealth, like some of their neighbors. the monroe's live comfortably and were able to send their eldest son to one of the best local schools. among his schoolmates, was supreme court justice john marshall. who would be monroe's lifelong friend, and occasionally a political adversary. he entered college in june of 1774. like many of his classmates, he was caught up in revolutionary fervor. here's part of a group of students who ceased arms from the governor's palace in 1775. february of the next year, he was commissioned it lieutenant in the third virginia

james monroe's revolution began with his birth on april 28, 1758, to spence and elizabeth monroe. while the holdings secured by andrew monroe were not as big or prosperous as some of their neighbors the washingtons and other families as well, the family lived comfortably and were able to send their oldest son to one of the best schools and then to the college of william and mary. monroe enrolled at william and mary in june of 1774. like many of his classmates, he was soon caught up in revolutionary ferv. he soon saw arms in the governor's palace in 1775. in february of 1776, monroe was commissioned to lieutenant in the third virginia infantry regimen. for the next two years as george washington led the continental army in victory and defeat, on which more the latter, james monroe took part in the battles of highland heights, germantown and monmouth rising to the rank of major before his 28th birthday. monroe was also at trenton where washington's gamble of attacking an out post paid off in an aspiring victory the day after christmas 1776. the battle produced monroe's greatest mome

this shows you the monroe.m referring to this in conjunction with this, to show you the similarities. here is the title cartoonish of the monroe. it was done, the original was done by richard hay would in london in 1770. he was a student of john sherry, a monument maker as well. and the william pitt, in new york, the other one is in charleston, south carolina. the colonists love william pitt. as you know. of course, they tore down the statue of george in new york. they're revered that. now william pitt was sort of destroyed. they had some remnants in charleston. they were thinking about having me recreate hit. i did this, the william pitt for charleston. now they originally was marble. it could be destroyed. we decided to do it in bronze. and i did, through research, restore the documents that he's holding here. and he has his crown, of course he was a lowered. he was a baron. so we gave a small version of this, 18 inches or so. we gave it to the most prominent non alumni supporters of the college, two or three

james monroe -- it says, the monroe prize in civic leadership. and this is through the generosity of the owens foundation. again, they sponsored this prize. they have given some monies, i think it is $3,000 maybe to a student, and they get a plaque saying that they are on the list of the monroe awardees. but anyways, they used the portrait. and of course that's the whole purpose for doing this monument is to get his image out there, get it known, and for this purpose. so we were very pleased to see this. this is on the chart a day program for this past chart a day, which is the anniversary of the charter of the college from 1993. it's always at the beginning of february. just last month. it shows the monument in place here. so the base is in four sections. one, the molding is a whole disk in itself. the lower drum. and then the capstone drum up here. and the relief. and then the figure. now, again, i mentioned the currency. we want monroe to be known. we want him to be on everybody's mind. and that's what the relief was the purpose of showing all

i came up with this concept of a narrative relief because everybody knows about monroe and the monroe doctrine which the sculpture depiction an essence of the monroe doctrine. however, we wanted to publicize and become more well known by the general population, the aspects of his life of monroe but the general population does not know. we start with, over here on the left, as a student, and ending, as we go around clock wise, terminating with his service as president of the united states for two terms. this shows you the work in my studio on the clay. this is the student aspect. there's the wren building. over here as president on the dais, this is the white house, of course, at that time, minus the front portico and bulletin ch's capitol with the dome, finished late in his second term. these are two buildings prominent for him. this thing goes on the monument itself. this is the car touche and it has some relation to the lord bot dot i made in the wren yard which i'll talk about. this is granite, green granite and a golden bronze. the college colors. how could i do otherwise? this is

and particularly the one of monroe. you can see the sculptures in the park in washington d.c., and you'll see his sculpture at -- one of john brown, and those prominently if you've ever been to colonial williamsburg, you will find in front of the college of william and mary, the statue of governor -- lord bonnet. the original statue, it was a little bit worse for wear in 1958. so it was put on file display in a portion of the library. . so this was dedicated in the fall of 1993, and it's interesting to watch people, who have been sea and to visit this magnificent statue. that sculpture was dedicated in 2015, and just watching gordon work and been aware of the intensity in which he understands a person to be sculpted it made it that it would be a wise idea that we talk to someone who physically and visually understands the character that we are starting today. so without further do i would like to introduce gordon kray sculpture wrist. thank you richard, thank you very much. it is just like old times here i'm going to be

we thought we had monroe's original house. now here highland, monroe's original name. and now we have a guest house and more arc dwrolg do. which is fun. to give you a sense of how do we interpret slavery at highland. it is required on the guided tour that guides mention slavery on a national context as well as individual slaves by name. we have a slavery at highland drop in station on fridays and saturdays where you can see an interpreter in action there. they have a table full of primary resources and guests can come and engage as long or short a time as they wish. we attempted to have a formal walking tour and found the guests didn't have the time budgeted. by switching to a drop in situation we were able to multiply our engage men, which we were really happy about. we also interpret slavery on the property just through the structures that are there. behind me you can see a reconstructed slave quarter that was done in the 1980s. here's another angle of that flanked by an original 1821 overseer house on the left and an original monroe smoke house on the right for kin
