roosevelt thought hughes had one. also the next morning returns came in and it turned out will send one the election, barely. and as the assistant secretary of the navy then went back to practice privately in your city. but then becoming the vice-presidential candidate running with governor james cox of ohio. there we're entrapped by warren harding and calvin coolidge. at the same time then appointed secretary. one year later the fortune one goes up and one goes down. he convened a disarmament conference 1921. negotiated the 10 bid of warships from three major naval powers from united states, great britain and japan. of great day should great triumph. roosevelt 1921 was paralyzed from the waist down with polio. that would seem to be a promising career. in 1824 that he was this paralyzed. hughes goes up and roosevelt goes down. but then with that spirit, to have that political career again, the then madison and square garden he did with braces up his legs. then madison and square garden he did with braces up his legs.

>> well, roosevelt, roosevelt issued an executive order which, essentially, allowed the displacement of these japanese-americans on the west coast, um, and it was a terrible dig. decision. on his part. but it was stained, that decision was stainedded by the u.s. supreme court. now, hughes was no longer on the court. but some of roosevelt's appointees, great liberals -- hugo black, william o. douglas, felix frankfurter -- all were in the majority in, basically, sustaining the constitutionality of those presidential or those executive orders. why? because they were patriots, and they thought it was important. if military told them that there was a danger on the west coast for sabotage from japanese-americans, they were inclined to defer to the military on that. terrible decision. the care mat sue was a terrible decision during world war ii. this was after hughes was no longer chief justice. but generally speaking the court tends to downgrade civil rights and liberties in times of war, and certainly that was so during world war ii because the national security becomes the number one iss

, nor the teddy roosevelt in his last phase as nationalist, but the teddy roosevelt of the middle period as the budding leader of the progressive which, of course, is the label that barack obama and other democrats on the left had chosen for themselves today. all of which brought barack obama to his roots in the small town ofofs on watt me, by the vy play in the very place where teddy roosevelt had from announced one of his most famous speeches. obama's speech has been touted as the document that represents his program was the vision for the nation today. it is the platform for the 1912 campaign. what a difference in tone from 2008 when obama preached unity and stretching lincoln a bit, he spoke of a figure of a house divided on itself to stand together. it wasn't quite the lincoln out -- and now it was teddy roosevelt looking over his shoulder and obama made the light of division bright and clear toward malice toward the 1% and charity for the 99. obama echoes the message of the more confrontational wall street movement. in the effort of obama's speeches to burnish that movement's recen

first, okay, that's good theodore roosevelt. he can be fairly labeling the the first onlily pro-life and pro-family president. aggregates of his biographers, most recently edwin morris, largely ignored. u.s. president from 1901 to 1909, roosevelt clearly identified the foes, his word, of the american family. the practice of willful sterility in marriage, by which he meant birth control and abortion, was a capital sin against civilization, he said. a practice that meant national death. he held liberal reentinterpreta, he blasted birth control and expressed the linkage between family creation and americanism. if you do not believe in your own people enough to bear larger families, then you are not good americans and you are not patriots. and i for one shall not mourn your extinction. and in such event, i shall welcome the advent of a new race that will take your place, because you will have shown that you are not fit to cumber the ground. mr. roosevelt condemned as fools those "professional" feminists who labeled wives and mothers

two years ago roosevelt was named one of the worst schools in the state. in its first year in the s.i.g program roosevelt has had a 14% jump in the four-year graduation rate. attendance is up. test scores are up. discipline issues are down. just as telling and important roosevelt's educators have fostered a new belief among students about what is possible for them, the arts, for example, are thriving, and so is the school's drama program. last summer the students performed a play at the international thespian festival in nebraska, a first for a public school from portland and to make sure they all could make the trip the drama director took out a second mortgage on her home. that's remarkable, remarkable commitment, but we have to give her some help and i'm going to figure out how to do that. in cities like st. louis and portland, maine, local unions are looking to improve and strengthen school turn around efforts. they're looking for new professional dwopt for staff. a final barrier to turning around schools is that parents are supposed to fight change in

but that really tied very closely to teddy roosevelt and was even a big surprise to the teddy roosevelt scholars that learned about it after we found it and discussed it with them. let me start by asking you all a question. how many of you have heard of frances perkins and know who she is? >> wow. that's great. first of all, this is wonderful. i've got a great audience. and i also have a fairly rare audience in that most people in america have no idea who frances perkins is, and i know that myself because when i started on this road, i didn't know who she was either. i came from a family that didn't care much for roosevelt, and i kept stumbling across her name though again and again over the years and finally it was almost like a doorbell that kept ringing and i had to go answer to. let me -- one of the things i think is important though is that it's difficult to even say all the things frances perkins did, and i'd like to start with a short reading, and it's just two pages. i would drag it out too long but they are important pages because they will give you a sense of the breadth of th

we had the entire roosevelt sfaf while we sat and figured it out. i would say that's a huge piece of what the success has been is that school owning the strategies and feel being like they're driving what the work is that's going on, it's not being prescribed from someplace else. >> and again, what was your expectation going in? >> i didn't believe it was the kind we've seen. it's been transformational. >> open up the audience. any questions for any of our panelists. >> i guess we have mike here. do we have another one? start right here. i see two up front. hi, i'm a northeastern graduate and i'm curious to find what stereos types you were confronted with at your school and i'd like you to look at your cripple curriculum and tell me if you think it embraced your culture. >> well, me stereotypes, i really didn't pay attention to things like that because now i'm just trying to get an education mainly. but the curriculum it was pretty easy when we get things i didn't know but the teachs are made it kind of easy for me. they stayed by my side until i un

roosevelt -- remarks.roosevelt came into office having said quite candidly and openly that he didn't know what the answers were going to be to the crisis that they were in, but that he was determined to try everything. and the way he put it in a famous speech at ogle thorpe p university this georgia during the first campaign in 1932 was, um, we are, we're going to try everything. if something doesn't work, we're going to discard it. we're not going to be ashamed of it, and we're going to move on to the next, but the watch word is going to be we are going to do something. and that was, of course, a real break with the way people thought of the hoover administration's approach which was to do nothing. now, it was a little unfair, but metaphorically speaking it was true enough. and, in fact, the new deal in the very first years, certainly in the 100 days, the first three months was extremely improvisational, and they did try everything. and they tried to create enough latitude for themselves that they could m

it was when roosevelt got started. almost immediately, the more than great realized the lengths he was willing to go. at the beginning, roosevelt didn't understand how far he was going to go. the dupont family and the ones that set up the american liberty league. that was successful because they have unlimited amounts of money. there were so popular, they were not able to stop it. they began to finance right-wing think tanks. they have been successful to the university of chicago economics department and notable fraud such as milton freed man. the idea of neoliberalism is there should be massive, selective tax cuts. margaret thatcher it is there is no alternative. of course that's absurd. there was an alternative. we have to connect the dots to understand what is going on today. i read the chronicle. so what i've done is put together a montage of the murder of public sector, which is going on everyday. in fact all of the public sector is in body shape. public libraries, parks from the municipal to the national level. o

roosevelt left the progressive party and his waning years were pretty bad. i bring this up because -- >> she left the party too. >> the social reformers had a consistent long term agenda to try and create social democracy. i don't think obama is as opportunistic as t.r. he may be inconsistent. they have to continue on the -- of defending the old nationalism. so i think it's going to transcend obama in many ways. i think that's the most important lesson you get out of reading sid's book, t.r., he took over that in many ways. i think that was very consistent, and thoughtful work. it's the job to do the same thing, knowing that obama will not be around and he's not been the embodiment of progressivism as good as he has been in a constained environment. this conversation about the proper division between government and markets is a great abstract discussion. but what we have is an economic crisis that was predicated on failures in both parts and the americans are saying i don't believe the government can take care of this. both sides have to figure out within a

>> edith roosevelt -- well, edith roosevelt retid tdid the e white house. it was at that point that the white house that we know first came into being. edith roosevelt wanted and theodore voez velt wanted it to invoke its sort of colonial roots. so it's a very federal, formal white house. the beautiful pillars. the great entryway. the new grand staircase that she put in. it also helps to bolster -- the roosevelts brought in what's the imperial presidency. a much more regal, formal, worldwide presidency. this is when america moves into the greater world as a power. and this white house was built to command respect for that and show the power of that presidency. and mrs. roosevelt was in charge of the decoration of that white house. >> and she added a first ladies portrait gallery? >> she did. she consolidated the portraits of the first ladies. commissioned hers to be added to it and established a first ladies portrait gallery on the ground floor of the white house. >> politically, policiwise, what is she known for? >> she's a first lady that steps away from

here's a dedication of roosevelt. on the left, who painted the murals in the social security building with her husband and steph an kennedy. it's been a privilege to meet these people. just recently, i found this statue of roosevelt. is over looks oslow harbor. they revere roosevelt, because of what they learned from the new deal about how to build a civil society. they didn't get rid of it, they expanded it. just like other scandinavian countries are consistently rated as the happiest in the world. the new deal continues to live on there. thank you.

one, roosevelt wanted to make an important statement. he was launching a platform, preparing not only for the 1912 campaign, but preparing for a defense -- a much more aggressive one than he launched as president for a major transformation of american democracy and this because the civil war was so important to the american people, this was a good place to do it. the other places relates to this thing of partisanship versus consensus that roosevelt was sometimes accused of being a socialist and sometimes he was accused of insulting socialists by presuming to represent reform. i think he wanted to go to -- he wanted to go to the john brown memorial to point out that there are certain value and insurgency and we have to honor john brown to a certain extent. but when it goes to mob rule, then we denigrate rather than honor freedom. so he wanted to find a position between socialist and capitalists that was reformist and he saw john brown as a useful way of distinguishing himself from the socialists. a good part of the longer speech that appe

at recent economic numbers the top one percent in america have a lot to lose recent report by the roosevelt institute found it twenty ten the first full year of the economic recovery the top one percent collected ninety three . percent of all the new income gains in america that's even better than their average over the last thirty years will be sucked up eighty percent of all the new income gains as a result this is been an economic recovery since basically since two thousand and eight benefiting just the very rich now after the great depression the exact opposite was true one day after the stock market crash in one nine hundred twenty nine everybody thought oh it's only going to influence rich people our children thirty one hundred twenty nine year times wrote yesterday's market crash was one which largely affected rich man institutions and investment trusts and others who participate in the stock market on a broad intelligent scale president hoover didn't bail these guys out and you know it got pretty bad roosevelt and he didn't bail anybody out in fact his policies were to definitely no

this is completely different than the days of teddy roosevelt. we didn't have all of this distrust of government. this is a big challenge that people that call themselves progressives have to take seriously. modern state is one that is incompetent. protecting the new ideas achieve. the second biggest one is the economic contest and they suffer solutions that deal with the libertarian laissez-faire and -- and most of the problems that we're now facing particularly on the economy, and tran 16ed our own capacity in our own national quarters. it's something that would address the economic conditions that today they'd be looking for more global solutions and that didn't come into play at all here, but i think ultimately this was a -- a fantastic address to rally obama's base in many ways. i think he did that. he's wrapped up his policy in fairness and the bipartisan at one point, belief in progressive ideas, but the idea of a new new nationalism or what's next is a long way off, and i don't think this address that obama gave was reformers on the left

as well as other presidents from both parties in history including white eisenhower and teddy roosevelt both republicans have a very different definition of free it is one nine hundred thirty six speech before the democratic national convention president roosevelt quoted an old english judge who. necessitous men are not free. that means if you're in need of the basic essentials to survive you're not free whether married brown realized or not she's not free if she doesn't have health care. if you're not free if you don't have a job and no prospects are you not free if you don't have enough money to feed your children you're not free if you don't have a roof over your head clothes to dress yourself or heat in the winter only when these basic essential for providing for all americans free and chase their dreams free to invent and build free to act it was based on this understanding of freedom the president roosevelt introduced a second bill of rights in the one nine hundred forty four state of the union address those rights include the right to a useful and profitable job the right to earn

thank you. [ applause ] >> roosevelt smith? >> hello. i'm roosevelt from virginia today. i became a daily smoker at 17 when i enlisted in the navy for the next 28 years, i was a pack-a-day smoker. i've had five heart attacks, received two stints and had one open-heart surgery where they performed six different bypasses. despite all this, i still continued to smoke. the addiction is that strong. i lost my ability to work my trade as a commercial plumber. i could no longer perform the tasks that was needed. not being able to work created a financial hardship for my family and myself. something that impacts me to this day. i have five children. after my heart attacks, i could no longer physically, do physical activities with my children. three years ago, i finally quit. my heart physically hurt from the years of smoking, but my move came from the heart. i did not want to inflict further pain on my family. i wanted to do all i could do to ensure that i would be around for my children to grow up. do not think that cigarettes can't hurt you. they will. if you want to quit, your

roosevelt took two hands to ease it back into the white house. they discuss social security o schedules to make sure nothing was conflicting with the white house's particular social agenda. >> what was the impact of all that? >> she had control over washington that i think some of the more recent had not. she formalized the thing and had a definite code of behavior. if you didn't follow it, you didn't exist in her washington. she did bring a power and grandeur back to the entertainment and the visible side of the white house that bolsters theodore roosevelt into international politics and bring power back to the presidency. >> lady bird johnson. >> lady bird johnson, i'm from texas and she is one of my favorite first ladies. she is the first first lady to announce her own inaugural agenda. she announces during up to the 1965 inauguration, she goes public with her agenda for her time as first lady and will concentrate on beautification or environmentalism. she was not thrilled with that word, but it was a doable word. she was going to concentrate

now, of course in '33, franklin roosevelt came into power. roosevelt had a mandate to do something about the depression. he took a variety of different actions. he was very experimental. some of those actions were quite unsuccessful. for example, something called a national recovery act required -- tried to fight deflation by requiring firms to keep their prices high. but that wasn't going to help without a bigger money supply. so a lot of things that roosevelt did didn't work so well. but he did two things which i would argue did a lot to offset the mistakes, the problems, that the fed created. the first was in 1934, the establishment of deposit insurance and the fdic. now if you were a ordinary depositor in a bank and the bank failed, you still got your money back. therefore, there was no incentive to run on the banks. and in fact, once the deposit insurance was established, there were essentially -- we went from literally thousands of bank failures to zero. it was incredibly effective policy. the other thing that fdr did, although it drew

and then about franklin roosevelt. he's commanding a global power, a completely different undertaking at least in many of its parts. and he also built that broad base of very able leaders. putting republicans into the major positions early in the war, secretary of war, secretary of the navy, working across party lines in that regard. also doing the other great -- combining the other strengths of leadership that washington had done, but in a different key, in another era, in a different framework. now the question is what next? we can see that people took inspiration from lincoln for that same period of about 60 years that had work ed for washington. and then there's a wonderful book by bill link ten burg on the shadow of fdr at least to ronald reagan. even reagan turning against the new deal, but embracing that style of leadership on the explicit example of franklin roosevelt. and now what today? what for us? and we look at this country and find many great leaders in every field. we find great leaders in american unive

president theodore roosevelt made 160 recess appointments. and an inter-session that lasted a millisecond. bang, bang. >> i'm not sure it's a proper use when in a millisecond, the next session was going to be available. so that was established. the third issue and the one that mort addresses is the question of whether the recess appointment clause applies to intra-session resayss, like, you know, this is the 112th congress. the custom now is first section, second session, each one lasting roughly a year. each starting on january third. now, i think the most persuasive arguments made against the validity of action such as those the president took recently would go to the question of whether there any valid intrasession recess appointments. at the end of not persuaded that there is any such limitation, i think the arguments are quite powerful. and one reason that they're not is that the whole notion of session is very vague in the constitution. peter speaks about the fact that this says "the recess" as if there is one. but there can be many ses

in 1910 theodore roosevelt delivered his new nationalism speech. last year, president obama went to the same kansas town in which roosevelt made his speech and spoke about his political philosophy and the u.s. economy. it was hosted by the hudson

bush expressing the religious sentiment i always had fun quoting franklin roosevelt. an episcopalian has public statements always very strong. he gave an election eve radio talk one of the things he said was a terrific statement was freedom of religion has no meaning to a man that has lost his god. i can't find a liberal today that would say something like this. if you do you get pounded. it's easy to quote the old liberal presidents against the liberals that get the wheatleys when you mention god but it's important with a number of our presidents. >> the mika furnace coming to you. >> slightly different. all of your books are wonderful so i can't wait to read this one but i will sort of ask you about your point about conservatives to direct some of their attention to congress. in my view, there is an even bigger hurdle to get them to care about the constitution so particularly to that a slight uptick with rand paul and mike lee but by and large my experience is they are quick to abandon and it's not like the half as well thought up hatred of the constitution. the kin

so i would like to point out that, start with theodore roosevelt. virtue all of our presidents that have ip league educations are the ones who are elected of right truman and johnson are sort of accidents being vice president. but those roosevelts went to harvard. taft went to yale. herbert went to stanford. even jimmy carter was an outside figure i tended and applets. and richard nixon went to tiny whittier college. he goes to duke law school, becoming a wall street lawyer and is passed back to the white house. this is why ronald reagan is so interesting. a tiny ago place. more importantly if you study the reagan story, really close i think what you see is like harry truman, who didn't finish college, only modern president didn't have a college degree, they both owe their particular political imagination to the own self-education. reagan's case it's hollywood and traffic around the country for ge when he's reading the classics of the american cursive movement, he's reading and quoting speeches. is doing all that on his own. i think it's possible re

terry mcsweeney is live at roosevelt elementary. why? >> reporter: they knew about the abuse and they didn't do anything about it. the abuse of two special needs children. as a result they will be disciplined but not having charges pressed against them. within person says that is not the way the sis -- one person says that is not the way the system should work this is a 5-year-old autistic child, also a four-year-old child enrolled in a class at -- class at roosevelt elementary. teacher alexis bogdisis is accused of abusing both boys, kicking and slapping within in january and december. the attorney for -- one in january and december. the attorney for the 5-year-old still can't believe it. >> how could this be allowed to happen? why did six people stand idlely by while a child was being accused? >> reporter: this is what is being posted by the district on their website by the superintendent. six employees knew of possible abuse and did not meet their legal obligation to report it. she talking their legal obligation. because apparently th

the first of a series of addresses by franklin roosevelt referred to as the fireside chat. keep in mind, the banks were closing in this country and the grate depression was continuing, especially in more rural areas of the country, but certainly in large cities like new york, so the number one goal of president rose vemt was to calm the fears of the american people, having gone through his own election and then being sworn in in march of 1933. so here's the first fireside chat by franklin roosevelt on radio. >> i want to talk for a few minutes with the people of the united states about banking. they comparatively fumed one to send the mechanics of banking but more particularly with the overwhelming majority of you who use banks for the making of dwofts and the drawing of checks. i want to tell you what's been done in the last few days and why it was done and what the next steps are going to be. i recognize that the p many proclamations from state cal tals and from washington, the legislation, the treasury regulations and to forth, couch for the most part in banking and lega

two years ago, roosevelt was named one of the worst schools in the state. but its first year in the sig program roosevelt has had a 14% jump in its four-year graduation rate. attendance is up. test scores are up. and discipline issues are down. but just as telling, just as important, roosevelt's educators have fostered a new belief among students about what's possible for them. the arts, for example, are thriving. so is the school's drama program. last summer, the students performed a play at the international thesbian festival in nebraska. that was a first for a public school from portland. to make sure all the students could make the trip, drama director joe lane took out a second mortgage on her home. that's a remarkable, remarkable commitment. but we have to give her some help. and i'm going to figure out how to do that. in cities like st. louis and portland, maine, local unions are looking to improve and to strengthen school turnaround efforts. they're collaborating with management to design turnaround customized supports for teachers and new professio

on the rise. -- that is really palpable, and if it is roosevelt -- and it is roosevelt on the rise. >> what was your expectation coming into this, if you can think back one year? >> it was not a foregone conclusion that we would even apply for the grants, so even deciding yes, we would go forward was a deep conversation with our union and our teachers and the administration with the school, and we did a pretty amazing process, where the union leadership and i went and sat with a small group of teachers that had explored what it meant to apply for a grand and evaluate the different options that they presented. -- and evaluated the different options that they presented. the union and i said, "you figure out what we want." that school owning the strategies. and feeling that they are driving this. it is not being prescribed from somewhere else. >> for a change going in? >> i did not think it would be the kind we have seen. it has been transformational. >> we will open it up for the audience. we have about five minutes. we have a mic here. do we have another one? let's start here. anothe

august 18th, 1940. 60 miles or so south of here when prime minister mckenzie king and president roosevelt sat in roosevelt's car in new york and agreed in principle to what became known as the ogdensburg agreement. it was a simple, five-sentence document. it established a permanent joint bordered fence, focused on the defense of the north half of the western hemisphere. it was so informal that the agreement sdz the first meekt would happen and i kwoets shortly. i don't think government has gotten much more precise since then. they took shortly to heart, because the first meeting of the board was the following monday here in ottawa since then our countries and militaries have shared a lot of things from fighting side by side on the front mandy to the battles of afghanistan where there are no front lines. our successful operations together in places like libya emerge from fully developed training exercises should at the recently completed bold alligator, the largest amphibious exercise in the past decade that took place off our southern coast. canadian leadership is readily apparently. in o

her name was eleanor roosevelt. in the years after ellen's death, no other first lady lobbied for any legislation. but in march of 1933, the first thing eleanor roosevelt did on entering the white house, was to go up to capitol hill and begin to lobby for another alley bill. as you know, she went on to lobby for many other causes. and she set an example for modern first ladies who are now expected to lobby for their own causes outside of their husband's interests. whoever presides in the white house next year, whether it's michelle obama, or ann romney, or someone else, we'll be expecting her to follow ellen wilson's lead, whether she knows it or not. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you so much, kristi. virginia scharff is distinguished professor of history and director of the center for the southwest at the university of new mexico. the scholarly booked include taking the wheel, women in the coming of the motor age, and 20,000 roads, women's movement and the west, and two text books. she was a research fel

of course the book was printed several years before roosevelt was born. the curator there is that it might have belonged to his father who was also named theodore roosevelt and roman numeral numeral three indicates it might have belonged to his son. he was also named theodore roosevelt. either way it does belong to the family. one of the first things we asked ourselves is does this sound like it look that roosevelt would own? and it is a book about hunting and fishing, and it is called sporting themes and country characters. it is all about outdoor life so yes, he probably did own it at one time. >> the one of the things that i find most interesting is when people who used to own the material names are left notes in the book. you get fascinating stories about the people. we have one book on, is there life after death basically is the topic, and it was owned by a woman who lives here in town. she had written rant take notes all through the book, desperately hoping, apparently from her knows she had lost a child and she was hoping desperately that she would

so if somebody's wondering why, it's president roosevelt in the 1930s. and that crisis. and each part of the economy relies on a well functioning derivatives marketplace. futures and swaps markets provide for a way for farmers and ranchers, initially, but later producers and manufacturers, retailers, service companies to lock in a price or rate and manage their risk. that's at its core what these markets are about. locking in a price of corn or wheat at harvest time, initially, but later locking in a rate like an interest rate or currency rate or something in the oil markets. so these markets are critical for commercial companies in the real economy. let me mention the real economy is that part that employs 94% of the private sector jobs in america. that's the nonfinancial side. it's critical for that part of the market so that they can what do they do best? they serve as customers. they produce products. they innovate. they invest in our economy and our country. but they want to lower their risk and lock in the price of risk of something. that's the cftc's mission and w

roosevelt's day of infamy speech. we have a map that charts the incoming planes during the pearl harbor attack that was submitted to congress. and so those are among the special items. >> the second thing that he found in some ways even more remarkable is an entire second copy of that second annual message. and it is also written by a clerk but signed by abraham lincoln. so it is, in effect, an official copy as well. and then finally he found about two dozen pieces of communication between lincoln and congress. again written by clerks but all signed by lincoln that we had known about in terms of the text from printed sources but had not known where the manuscript materials were. and they were all in this one small set of records. >> it's actually labeled "interior department." in addition, even though there's some exciting parts of this message, there's also some pretty dry parts where he's regurgitating what the secretary of state or caleb smith or whoever told him to say. so with this message, he transmitted to cong

the roosevelt administration. theodore roosevelt. fdr's administration when it became his temporary office. and today as it is as the blue room. i want to give special thanks to the maryland historical society's mark letzer, mark epter and elizabeth stafford for being wonderful to work with. i'm sorry for the technical difficulties to begin with and my skipping my first page. in addition to everyone here that has been, like i said, wonderful to work with, i also want to thank the library of congress, the university of virginia's dolly madison digital addition, the new york public library, the james madison montpelier, author and historian william steele and the white house historical association. if anyone has any questions, i'd be happy to take them. there'll be a microphone coming around if you'd like to raise your hand. [ applause ] >> or on white house history general. i know that as well. down here. >> the furniture that the madisons bought after the burning of the white house like by worthington, et cetera, does that still exis

a president who came in and started out being a centrist balanced budget all of that that's what roosevelt campaigned on in thirty two out there and so but within a year or two of taking office as the horrific nature of what was happening to the mass of people became clearly and more important but mayors of people found an organized way to express themselves he completely reversed himself and suddenly all those things we hear today there isn't enough money we have to cut back. well it was a wish depression they had a bigger problem with not having money but the reality was roosevelt created social security with a hundred and one he created the unemployment insurance program he gave all people a lot of money for the rest of their lives and he gave unemployed people lot of money and then the capstone he hired twelve million people in the next four five years government killed sort of last resort suddenly the government was going to do what we might call trickle up economics give them at the bottom let them have the money to spend the keep their warms and take care of their families and that

the school and then the alumni association has been hugely engaged in as businesses in supporting roosevelt, and the university has engaged individual students with our students that those relationships carry on once the students go onto college, and actually there is a bunch of really specific but they have taken different shapes of just figuring out where does the what the community organization or individual have to offer with what the school needs and really focused on what the school is trying to achieve. they're not random partnership. they're all focused and aligned on what roesz velt is trying to accomplish with their students. >> thank you. good morning, alice, thompson, detroit, michigan. my question is to ms. smith. can you identify for us three or four of your specific and salient changes that create a transformation in your school? >> so i will draw you back to bob's presentation because we have done some things as roosevelt we're also doing as a district. one of those is identifying what we call academic priority students as students that are coming out of eighth grade and mov
