there's spanish cypress in the trees, a lot of roosevelt orderlies are getting picked off and roosevelt is the only one on horseback in this assault so the spanish snipers are trying to pick him off and there missing theodore and they hit his orderlies but eventually, they get the order to advance but as the roughriders advance encounter the regulars up ahead of them benny cattle hill and they haven't gotten those orders and roosevelt says if you're not going to go, let my men through and all of a sudden he starts and that starts a whole movement. they said all those roughriders are going. we have african-american buffalo soldiers that are part of this, other regular dismounted cavalry and theodore roosevelt will discharge happen. they get to the top of cattle hill, easily take cattle hill with him casualties, heavy firing.once there on top they can steer to the left. and of san juan ridge which is a big block house, that would become known as the san juan block house and they see the infantry going up so they start firing over to hear who kind of give the cover for the infantry that ar

even though franklin roosevelt was a steadfast, he nominated him twice to be president of the united states at the democratic convention and campaigned across the country and certainly in new york state and succeeded in once he became governor of new york he thought smith would take it from here and he had legislation and roosevelt wasn't that kind of guy and he was going to be his own man. that was the beginning of the fracture of thstructure of the p and ironically it led to al smith abandoning his own and endorsing when they ran against franklin eleanor roosevelt for the reelection campaign. and it was kind of a black mark on al smith. nonetheless, franklin eleanor roosevelt kept up the friendship and it's an interesting friendship and alliance and also incredible social history about the working conditions for the working men and women. al smith at the time of his careeprime of hiscareer was a ge and clearly was a preamble to franklin d-delta roosevelt's new deal in the progressive tradition. great, great political history and well-done. and finally, a book i want to highlight a

it was teddy roosevelt's man in the arena quote. if you open up the first page of , you will see it. "it is not the critic who counts , not the man who points out how strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives s, who comesho err short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do those deeds, who knows read enthusiasm ,- who knows great enthusiasm the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who knows the end of the triumph of high achievement, and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." this is not a book about teddy roosevelt. you don't have to carry a rifle to be in the arena. it is our job to instill in every generation the principal to perpetuate what is, as you all know, an experiment i

ways, the 20th century the back of teddy roosevelt. why then, as i think about it, rooseveltd the entire speech, that's when i really woke up to the power of the quote. the quote itself is powerful. the quote itself is motivating. ways -- there's no value assertion in the quote. it's being in the arena. arena?t is the where is the arena? what does it mean? what i write in the book is it's you're arena or my arena or a you do you argument. the arena for this exceptional american experiment that was gifted to us 240 years and has to be perpetuated in every single generation. know the reagan quote. we're never more than one generation from extinction. it doesn't get passed to the next generation. a beautiful quote. and a more reminder difficult reality in a -- on a daily basis. see, the moat, man in the arena, is just one quote of the larger speech called "citizenship in a republic." roosevelt gave it in 1910 in front of french elites at the university of paris. and when i read the speech for time, after just looking at the quote and neve

those were the two expectations for theodore roosevelt's kids. junior really lived up to those expectations. he served in world war i. he was a political rival with cousin franklin roosevelt during the great depression. but when world war ii started, the two cousins put their differences aside. theodore junior wanted to get into the military again. initially, he served as the commander in the first infantry division. he served in the big red one, which was one of the few battle tested divisions to go into normandy. however, roosevelt did not gain a lot of acclaim or trust in the eyes of omar bradley or george patton. theodore roosevelt junior had a very laid-back command persona and that was not up to snuff with someone who was as spit and polish as george patton was. omar bradley thought he had gotten too comfortable and too cozy with some of the soldiers, and there wasn't that rigid discipline that makes a good soldier a good soldier. he was removed from command from the first infantry division. he landed a spot as the assistant division comman

theodore roosevelt jr., son of the president who was the oldest american participant in the invasion, said very defiantly, we're going to start the war right here and indeed that is what they did. they carried the fight inland into the normandy countryside where they really began to tally up casualties. the unit fought all throughout mainland europe. they were the first american troops into paris. they were the first american troops into germany, but unfortunately, it inflicted a very grim toll. the unit and its entirety throughout the entire war suffered about 250% casualties. there was just a perpetual stream of wounded, killed, and then their replacements, and sometimes replacements after that were being killed and wounded as well. so it was an absolutely devastating affair, but many of the men in the unit had the firm conviction that they needed to do this because there was really no other choice. this was the price of stopping fascism and its spread. and as many world war ii veterans say to this very d

roosevelt will have -- both roosevelt and francisco will have a modified schedule. roosevelt will shift to a seventh period schedule and francisco will stay after a sixth for a period schedule. they will be doing the aligned professional learning on wednesday after news and those already started with educators and it is a good time for teachers to learn, to collaborate, and build their capacity around this change. and unique to us, too is looking at the common planning time organized by content so they can think about the articulation between sixth through eighth grade. and both schools are honing in on a lot of the deeper learning principles, technology integration, and roosevelt will go further along. for francisco, they have a strong foundation already in place and we will be building on that and project-based learning. we shared earlier about some of the professional development and professional learning that the school is engaged in. there's been a significant focus on project-based learning. and francisco will have -- continue its focus on social emotional wel

, roosevelt died.when japanese internment comes along, there is a lot of enthusiasm for the fbi to begin managing japanese internment, hoover actually pushes back against that, the department of justice and fbi both opposed the policy of japanese internment, and so, it happens in large part through other channels. and, at the moment, that roosevelt died, he was actually considering taking up hoover's idea that when the war came to an end it ought to be the fbi in charge of local surveillance, turning the fbi into a proto-cia. in the 1930s, the point to take away is that the fbi is not operating on its own. it is operating both in conversation with congress, in conversation with the presidency and in many ways is being empowered by the president's own agenda. hoover is certainly pushing some of this, but he is not the engine of empowerment in many ways. if roosevelt is in many ways it is really lyndon johnson who allows hoover to stay on, in the natural course of things at this moment, there is a mandat

my book is about us immigration policy on president roosevelt. his during the years leading up to the holocaust in the early of world war ii. it's a very controversial subject. there's been a lot of books attacking the president and others defending him. what i wanted to do was to integrate the story of what was happening in washington, the politicals of all that was goinn on in those years. and over immigration and refugee policy we put the stories of a specific group of people we put whom we could identify. people who are trying to reach the united states from nazi germany whose lives were in danger. who are trying in order to survive, they need it to obtain what the american journalist bertha thompson called a piece of paper we put a stamp. both of you lived or died, frequently depended on both of you could obtain this document. i looked at one single community, in the southwest of germany, given nine, the jewish family village. particularly of the crystal it, the horrifying thing against the jews in november of 1938, they all understand that

they recognized that the growth been teddye has roosevelt woodrow wilson, , frankland eleanor roosevelt, lyndon johnson, and therefore, they feared executive power. then republicans had the heady experience of ronald reagan as president. and they, too, fell in love with executive power. i think many of my progressive friends are rethinking the romance of executive power in the current context. which is, again, wholesome. some good things will come out of this, one of them is the revival of congressional institutional pride that is overdue. when franklin roosevelt , shortly after his inauguration, his fireside chat, first he began with two words that don't appear in the transcript as it is at the library at hyde park. the two words were, my friends. now, we're so used to this fake intimacy we have with the chief executive of the united states that no one today is startled by that. after all, we have a president who said, i feel your name, which, of course he didn't do. no one feel others people's pain. but never mind. some of us don't want the president to be our friend. we want the pres

roosevelt's gardens.oth bloomed with old-fashioned flowers, such as snapdragons, goldenrods, columbines, phlox, asters, hollyhocks, and peonies. mrs. roosevelt was extremely pleased with the result. so please that she chose to sit for her official portrait as first lady in the west colonial gardens. some of her successors, however, were not nearly so impressed with her handiwork. and so that is how mrs. roosevelt's colonial gardens begin to change over the course of the 20th century. her west garden, shown at the left, eventually became the internationally famous rose garden that we all know and love today. for the east colonial garden, shown at the right, is now the jacqueline kennedy garden, which is less known than the rose garden. my colleagues later today will be telling you all about where this transformation took place. it is a fascinating story, especially for garden lovers such as ourselves. with that, ladies and gentlemen, i'm going to end. there you have it, an abbreviated history of the white

i think about eleanor roosevelt a lot. i think about her crowning achievement, universal declaration of human rights. because i often need to be reminded that this is a moment to hold on to the courage of our convictions. it is not easy. in fact, it can be downright difficult and discouraging. keep in mind not only eleanor roosevelt, not only greta th e thubthub thubeg who kept persevering with whatever criticism it backlash she experienced, keep in mind the women that we honor today. we cannot afford to be aloof, we cannot afford to be cowardly. we have to stand together and continue to speak out for the rights, opportunities and dignity of women, men, and children. thank you very much. [applause] >> good morning, everyone. thank you so much, secretary clinton, for being back with us at georgetown. we are so grateful to you for your support of the institute as our honorary founding chair and for your continuing inspiration. it is particularly significant to have you here this day with this focus on human rights because we

of course, roosevelt and the u.s. government puts all sorts of constraints, gas rationing, it makes it really hard to travel. so the visitation is pretty low. if you could come to gettysburg in the early part of the 1920's, -- 1940's, mostly what you would see of people touring the park are officers. this is a cool photograph. they're standing at the meade memorial, and you can see to the back left the zeigler grove tower, the war department tower. that one is torn down in the 1960's to place the other building. but that's who would be visiting here, such as these men. the battlefield again becomes a training ground. here they are practicing for chemical warfare on the fields of pickett's charge in october of 1943. gettysburg is also going to host a german prisoner of war camp. i don't have a photo of that, because i've never seen one. if any of you have seen a photograph of the german p.o.w. camp, i would love to see it. gettysburg hosts hundreds of german prisoners of war here. many of them go to work in the apple o

my name is jesse walker and i'm a teacher at roosevelt middle school. knowing last year that we would be one of the pilot schools for the middle school redesign, we had the opportunity to go to pdl works conference and learn more about them and how to implement it into our classrooms. that was a huge advantage for us as teachers. we are now able to come back to our school with our early release one days and we are doing teacher led meetings for staff. they hear from us teachers how we are implementing it in our classroom instead of some to come in that has not taught for a while. i think all of our staff is really loving these early release one date -- wednesdays. we now have more than three hours of common planning time as teachers, to work together. last year we only had an hour a week to work together. we couldn't always be more aligned. this year, we have three hours to work together. we are able to plan project -based unionist -- units that allow students to have voice and choice and work well with our students. it has definitely been a positive ex

roosevelt was not alone in that, but roosevelt continued to remind people that charles de gaulle was not elected, in the united states could not recognize charles de gaulle as president without a democratic process. we can identify with that to a degree, but despite roosevelt's reluctance to recognize charles de gaulle by the spring and summer of 1944, as i said, most had accepted de gaulle as their leader, including the various resistance factions in france, and there were many. there were many, but they had decided to set aside their political differences for the moment to present a united front against the german occupiers, and they collectively became known as the french forces of the interior, or the ffi, and they acknowledged de gaulle for the moment as their leader. in france, and more specifically in paris, over that summer of 1944, tensions begin to rise in the city, especially after the day when the allies landed in normandy. on june 14, bastille day, the french equivalent to our fourth of july, and paris, spontaneous demonstrations broke out in parisians started to display

man rights and ellenor roosevelt. this has been an exhibition extremely popular with guests.articularly young people, who sometimes see the freedom of expression as expressed in the 1940's as sometimes imiting. sometimes monolithic. and now understanding that freedom in america today is something that is vitally mportant from that perspective to what extent one sees such freedoms and bestow the respect on others. you can go through this part of the exhibition and see various themes of different peoples and certain inhibitors of liberties, such as the intrusiveness of electronics and surveillance that enters people's homes. religious figures, the dalai lama, gandhi, all part of the same family. ockwellian in ideal. more diverse, more inclusive from the perspective of today's artists and viewers. here are certainly some images of resistance, and a reminder that the nation has fallen short of its ideals. cultural intolerance virtually wrapped in the flag. for the student body, when the galleries are most full, they tend to be here, looking at what contemporary artists are reflec

guest: you mentioned eleanor roosevelt.iting a new book about winston churchill and the times that he lived in the white house. there were seven different times under franklin roosevelt and under dwight eisenhower that he came over. the reason i mention that is franklin roosevelt did not tell eleanor that winston churchill was coming to the white house in december of 1941 until right at the very last moment. he is coming, he is staying three weeks, he is coming for christmas. so the communication between the president and the first lady at that time was a little bit spotty, but nonetheless fascinating in all respects. host: the president hitting back in real time on twitter it. i want to get your reaction to that. ,f you moments ago, he wrote the real story involves hundred biden going around the world and collecting large payments from foreign governments and foreign oligarchs. laura ingraham saying hunter made a fortune in ukraine and china. he knew nothing about energy or anything else. what is going on here? guest: i do

listened to roosevelt on the radio talking about england it's expressed vividly and his reaction to this, he said, i cannot stand the constant reference england to europe. i am here, my people are here under the heels. how typically american to arrive while a daughter is being raped in the backroom. that isn't just a metaphor. the japanese occupation of the philippines was violent and involved a fair amount of central violence. the commonwealth then asked fdr to grant immediate independence of the philippines. maybe he thought if they could become independent, then we could negotiate with japan and become a neutral territory you can't negotiate with japan. you have no power. you are not the head of the state and in fact the united states will defend its flood. it is an accurate position that was put by the secretary of the war in a conversation with winston churchill. it seems you are aware thinking particularly of the philippines and the secretary of defense and said that was also an accurate prediction. as others might put it, we conquer the colonies. guam first in the united states fo

and roosevelt wanted to make very, very sure that everybody was clear about that. early in that new year of 1942, the united states treasury is already going to work, trying to figure out how to get americans to help pay for the war. now roosevelt talked about taxes and bonds and bonds and taxes. you know what taxes are, right? it is when the government compels you to pay a certain part of your income to meet the cost of government doing what it has to do. but what are bonds? a bond is an iou. write that down. and iou, it is a statement that the united states government owes you money. see, basically what uncle sam was doing was saying, we are going to have people pay taxes to pay for this thing, but we also have to go into debt to pay for this thing. now, a show of hands. how many people have some sort of united states savings bond? okay, we got a few hands. how many people have been given something like that for a birthday or a graduation or something of that kind? right? it is a very, very important looking piece of paper that is not a toy. you open the card, it
