no, they're all roosevelts as in roosevelt. and the lineage of the family was their history. >> they share the high park roosevelts and ohser bay roosevelts share a colonial ancestor. then it's clay martinson, van roosevelt a doubling settler in new york. two or three generations down the family splits. ted imri roosevelt was his cousin franklin roosevelt. the complicated thing is that t. r. had a wonderful niece. he loved dearly eleanor roosevelt who was his alcoholic brother's daughter. fran lynn married his niece. and so franklin would call thee thee door. >> dissubstantiate -- dissubstantiate cousins. dis and decided chef tired of living over the store. she wanted to separate the living area from the public area. and so the upstairs was renovated. the downstairs was renovated. most people really liked it. the upstairs had what, even bedrooms and the teen daughter had her own bedroom. et president had a study and office on the second floor. so did the first lady with a door that adjoined. that was important to knowledge the

roosevelt could breathe once again. he opened the door to the dining room and relaxed and laughed with all the others. a happy parade of dozen of his hyde park neighbors arrived at the big house about 100-yards from where we're right now. roosevelt went outside to greet them. he said to his neighbors, we're facing difficult days in this country, but you will find me in the future just the same franklin roosevelt you have known a great many years. my heart will always be here. the election was not the landslide that took place in 1936 when on two states voted for al. maine and vermont. in 1940 roosevelt still won by a substantial margin. the vote was 449 to 82. he carried 38 states, willkie carried 10. my students think 12. [laughter] after the election, roosevelt said i'm glad i won. i'm sorry wendell lost. two months later, in mid january 1941, willkie flew to england as roosevelt's personal representative. his mission was to see firsthand what was happening there, and express american solidarity with britain. he -- bi

millions voted for roosevelt and hoped. in the four months before inauguration, the depression grew deeper. in march 1933, roosevelt was the leader of a nation with 1/4 of its work force unemployed. something had to be done. so first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes the... rosina tucker remembers the hope returning. uh, you remember his saying, "there's nothing to fear but fear itself." he had his fireside talks... and, uh... uh, the people listened to them all over the united states. they made it a point to have nothing to do during those fireside talks. they sort of... it seemed to me a sacred time, uh, as if a father was talking to his children who were afraid. it was in that period of despair that roosevelt did one great thing. he experimented. if this didn't work, try something else. this nation is asking for action and action now! march 1933 was the bottom of the depression. slowly the economy inched upwar

eleanor roosevelt.hat's the eleanor roosevelt ,erforming the traditional job the par she dreaded before she ever fielded. the eleanor roosevelt who made history and polarized the country was the eleanor roosevelt who wanted to see marion anderson perform at the lincoln memorial, even though she was denied, which we do not find controversial. >> marion anderson, african- >> the fact is a first lady was in the middle of that controversy. that setr predecessors and set her apart from the red cross promoter. >> did she come into the role, or did she grow into it? >> she had been in the movement since she was out of high school. it's not correct she only started when she got out of the white house area did -- a white she was very practice and politics even before she went into standing in for franklin in new york state when he had polio. she had been an activist in the women's movement, the labor movement, and she was probably one of the few first ladies who came into the white house with political constitue

she takes it to roosevelt and wants it that badly. roosevelt says, you are a private it is in. that shows the difference between taft and roosevelt. taft very much wanted to honor the law and roosevelt would push the envelope a little bit. that is a good way to illustrate the difference between them. >> that became a fundamental difference between them and the way they view the presidency. roosevelt said if it was not forbidden, we can do it. taft said it had to be explicitly allowed before we can do it. the two views of the presidency were very different that they had. >> a real study in leadership. on to facebook, holly wants to know how mrs. taft got the nickname, nellie. >> good question. a number of brothers and sisters. it was a family name. her husband refers to her as his dearest nellie. >> did she call him will or mr. taft? >> will. once people knew him well, he was called will. he was not bill or something like that. almost nobody called theodore "teddy" who knew him well. >> hello. what is your question? caller: i love this show so much. i know the president in order

this is something that edith roosevelt did. did she approach introducing americans to culture and supporting the cultural life of the white house? >> theodore roosevelt was not as bad as president grant. said there were two songs, dy and yankee doodle dan the other isn't. >> she brought amazing inner came into the white house, paluding have locus all -- cassals. she brought the entire philadelphia orchestra at one time. she loved the corcoran art gallery, theater and art and music. tr brought indian songs. helped encourage john lomax to discover cowboy songs. they wanted people to understand and have culture. it was not a colonial society anymore. european cultures for borrowing artists. they are really important in that sense, too. >> since they had sagamore hill, why did they need a retreat? get toook a while to sagamore hill because it is on the way in long island -- all the way in long island. he had a lot of political and att and difficulty times when he was having a rough time, it he had gained a lot of weight. i have bee

[applause] and so i really encourage you to go see it. my

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

of the entire roosevelt era. the library research room is consistently one of the busiest of all the presidential libraries, and this year's group of authors reflects a wide variety of research that is done here. at me quickly go over the format for the festival's concurrent sessions. the top of each hour session begins with a 30-minute opera talk followed by a 10-minute question and answer session and then we will wrap up after that. in the authors will move to the tables in the lobby outside of the new deal store where you can purchase their books and have the author simon. the top of the our the process repeats itself. today's attendees can go to the new museum and take a look at the wonderful new exhibit that we have there with all local red admonished to five admission bunt. if you want to ask a question to come up to the microphone we will have the questions and answers from there. now it is my pleasure to introduce cheryl mullenbach who is the author of "double victory: how african american women brok race

roosevelt. but half of them were. and roosevelt was a good politician. with half of the businesses in his pocket, he knew he could count on the c.i.o., the socialists, and the communists to kind of work something out, and here was the deal. "i'm gonna get the money from the corporations and the rich. i'm gonna help you on a scale you've never seen before. and in return, you're gonna stop talking about getting rid of capitalism. you're gonna mute that part of your message. you're gonna celebrate me as the guy who gives the mass of people something they never got before." so, what did roosevelt do? three interesting things that i'll mention. one--he created the social security system. we never had that before. in the midst of a depression worse than today, when there's no money in the hands of the government--none is coming in; it's really hard; we can't do anything--the president goes on the radio and announces that every american over 65 years of age who's had a lifetime of work is now gonna get money from the government for the rest of his or her life.

roosevelt had to literally walk a tight rope. the first thing he ended up doing was running for president for an unprecedented third term because he did not want to leave the country bereft of leadership. and he did not announce by the way that he was going to run for the third term until the democratic convention met in july of 1940 and everybody was playing of the will your won't he? the great washington lottery in spring of 1940. when he finally did inform the convention that he would be a candidate, they breeze the sigh of relief because they didn't have a strong candidate. he couldn't campaign because he had so much else to do so his campaign consisted of seven speeches and his traditional for of the neighborhood on election eve. roosevelt had a difficult time campaigning anyway because he had to go by train. he hated to fly. have only flown once in his life to accept a nomination in 1932, never did it again. and he had a large entourage as a president does. so to the extent that he gives speeches they all had to be within 1

roosevelt had her priorities very set. she brought in the white, and out went the victorian palms, and the same brass bric-a-brac, and she -- the house was redesigned, reimagined. george washington could walk into the house today and feel at home. it went back to an early kind of federal style, classic lines. so my point is, physically, for all the people like mrs. kennedy, for example, who have had a huge imprint on the house, physically the house you go to today is very much edith roosevelt's creation. it cost $475,000. >> we may be on the verge of our first woman president. how will the role -- and you might be covering that personally -- but how will the roles change if indeed the man takes that role? >> oh, i think there will be endless coverage and so much interest. any time you have a historic person, which is part of what's driven so much interest in michelle obama in the role, is, you know, everything is new. how will he approach the duties of the first spouse? what will we call him? i can see the press having lot

and roosevelt, but roosevelt had to push had is own cabinet to get it done even after that. at one point, it was reported in henry's diary. on one point he went on tirade. the only time you can remember roosevelt -- because he wanted it done and wanted it done now. it's not as if the stuff was lying around. to get some of the plane to russia, we borrowed them from british planes in storage and replaced those. over here. any other questions? so now you know everything. not quite, maybe. let me leave you with one interesting fact stuns people when you talk about sacrifices people made. it is true that more americans had a rising standard of living during the war. however, it may surprise you to know that more americans died in industrial accidents during the war than died in combat. when you consider there's about 11 million in the military. there's about 40 some million or 30 some million in the work force, but if you look at the factory and look at all of these people working under really tough conditions it won't surprise you. that's a shocking statistic. i thank thank you

remember, the roosevelts didn't always get along.ut it was remarkable that on the eve of an election which everyone realized was lost she would go to so public a venue to declare a breach with the other roosevelts. >> but they were of different parties. so suggest party loyalty more strong than family? >> i don't think of edith roosevelt as a party -- as a partisan figure. it's just so uncharacteristic. >> what i saw, and the quality of the video was a section. >> yes. >> i'm losing my voice. but set the stage. what are you looking forward to as we close in season two from this woman edith roosevelt to michelle obama? >> growth in role, growth in he influence, continuing professionalization of the ffice of the first lady, and much better media savvy. >> growth, if possible, but hange unavoidably. the media is clearly adom nant, increasingly dominant criteria for every first lady. >> but in the end they're the endless biographiccal human stories, which are not limited to the 19th century or the 20th century or media or anything else.

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.

it shows roosevelt in his convertible. if you visit there, you could see he could drive using the upper part of his body. he's pointing to the plans of the hyde park. he was quite a passable architect. once he became president, he was able to build a lot more. even though henry loose was generally opposed to roosevelt. we ran a double page on his to show how the work he had done. i couldn't get it all on my standards. in the west, you would see without the new deal projects, the republican voting sun belt cities wouldn't exist. they were built at that time. so, it's as i say. there was at least a dozen agencies that left remnants. i am going to give you a primer on all of these. the premise was to put people to work. there were agencies that covered all of these. the land had been ruinned by a variety of things. this is one of the posters and these are archival photographs. this shows the ccc boys. many of them had been riding the rails. they were starving. they were illiterate. here they are in one of the camps, which wer

roosevelt did more.lation following the bank holiday extended the federal reserve's powers forced banks to meet tougher regulatory standards p and created the federal deposit insurance corporation to guarantee customers' accounts up to $10,000. give me my 60 cents. how do i know you got 60 cents? here's my bankbook. all right, that's fine. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60. that's o.k. americans showed their faith in the reopened banks and the crisis passed. the bank holiday was a watershed. it's remembered as one of fdr's most popular political moves. but, richard gill, was it really necessary? what had happened to the money supply? well, the money supply shrank drastically between 1929 and 1933. by money supply, we mean not just coins and currency, but also our checking accounts in the banks. since we make most major purchases by checks, rather than cash these deposits are the most important part of our money supply. commercial banks can actually create these deposits, actually create money

roosevelt had her priorities very set. she brought in the white, and out went the victorian palms, nd the same brass bric-a-brac, and she -- the house was redesigned, reimagined. george washington could walk into the house today and feel at home. it went back to an early kind of federal style, classic lines. so my point is, physically, for all the people like mrs. kennedy, for example, who have had a huge imprint on the house, physically the house you go to today is very much edith roosevelt's creation. it cost $475,000. >> we may be on the verge of our first woman president. how will the role -- and you might be covering that personally -- but how will the roles change if indeed the man takes that role? >> oh, i think there will be endless coverage and so much interest. any time you have a historic person, which is part of what's driven so much interest in michelle obama in the role, is, you know, everything is new. how will he approach the duties of the first spouse? what will we call him? i can see the press having lots

as economists made estimates, roosevelt and churchill met.he meeting in 1940 is known for the atlantic charter of rights for free people. it was also the culmination of months of bargaining over what war materials the u.s. would supply. roosevelt asked the army, navy, and air force to estimate the costs of an all-out war. their total for the next two years--$150 billion, almost double the 1939 gross national product. nathan next evaluated the military's production needs. he started by breaking out the key sectors from the national income and production accounts. we knew steel would be a limiting factor for tanks, ships, and big guns. how much steel was involved in these? we translated airplanes mainly into aluminum because you couldn't build airplanes without aluminum. we translated ammunition into copper. we had the key elements. we realized very soon we were going to build factories to process more steel than we had. you'd have fabricating plants that weren't being used. more serious, you wouldn't have any end products. you'd have wheels ov

>> probably edith roosevelt. everybody knows about teddy, and everybody knows about eleanor and franklin, but i think mrs. roosevelt, who really in many the modern first ladies role for the 20th century. people know very little about her. >> this is another category, which is first ladies who are thatned with media images may have very little to do with who they really work. you think of pat nixon. a very toughad time of it for the first two years she was here, and i think, frankly, with the passage of time, people realize just how great a role she played behind the scenes, with some very good advice in personnel matters and other things. one of the other things we will be able to do is not just being with the first ladies but also some children of the white house. we have a clip of one of the children. this is ford. as family you know well, having worked on the ford library creation, and we will listen and talk about intervention. intervention,t and, you know, my memory of that is we walked in the door that morn

so roosevelt at this time calls general leslie groves to the white house. groves is in charge of the manhattan project. and he tells groves that he wants to use that weapon. groves is rather surprised and explains that they are nowhere near ready, it'll be months before they even test the atomic bomb. but it's very clear in my mind that roosevelt had every intention of using it as long as the german resistance couldn'ted at the level that it did during the battle of the bulge. interesting thing about roosevelt's centurions is that the team was very stable. the people that he put in charge of the military at the beginning of the war were still there at the end, a time when winston churchill was firing generals left and right. so i would have to give a very high grade to fdr as the recruiter in chief. the figures that he selected still resonate in history; marshall, admiral king, admiral nimitz, dwight eisenhower, hap arnold, and it's hard to quarrel with a winning team. by the time of fdr's death in april of 1945, his battles have essentially been won. cruel
