of us to welcome you tonight to a conversation between ron chernow and harold holder the director of roosevelt house on the transformation of ron's biography of alexander hamilton into a broadway sensation. normally, roosevelt house programs are held in our historic homes but the excitement over this event was so great we had to move tonight's event to the playhouse. the fact that a discussion about a musical that is standing room only has drawn an audience tonight that is standing room only is a perfect illustration of hamilton's phenomenal impact. and it is living proof of how this fabulous show has turned a mild-mannered writer named ron chernow into a rock star. [laughter] it is true for years ron was recognized as one of our great contemporary historians. his "life of george washington" won a pulitzer prize. his history of "the house of morgan" received the national book award. his biography of alexander hamilton was a "new york times" best seller. but let's be real. before hamilton became a sensation, ron was not exactly what anyone would call a household name. he once said to a journal -- whe

it's sunday review went on sale just last week we originally planned to hold this event that the roosevelt house. the ghost of franklin and eleanor roosevelt the still graced the rooms with a lot of the discussion about the right time and accomplishments. the patient savvy her critics probably would have considered notorious. and in aa response to interview these questions about whether women should get angry in the face of injustice she invoked eleanor roosevelt's exceptional career in law. having a big impact, especially on women. she was one of just nine women in a classified hundred and in what is surely one of the low points in history why they thought they were right to take the places. people are setting her supreme court dissents to music and making them into videos that routinely go viral. her image shows up everywhere from harvested teachers to tattoos. arranged for many of our new audience. all this began with a website that has now become a book. the creators are with us this evening to talk about it and leading them in the conversation will be one of the great legal minds of our tim

relationship between poly murray, co-founder of the national organization for women, and first lady eleanor roosevelt. and we talk to nel irvin tate at the roosevelt house. more on send from the festival of the book. george carlin's daughter talks about her life growing up. and after words with nancy cohen. author of break through; the making of america's first president. she is interviewed by the chair and co-founder of cornel law school's women and justice center. >> for a woman to be at the head of the most powerful countries in the world when one of our keypkey allies doesn't allow women to drive and a key problem is about taking rights away from girls this is pretty interesting. >> watching the non-fiction authors on booktv is the best television for serious readers. >> on c-span they can have a long conversation and dive in the subject. >> booktv weekends bring you author after author and spotlight the work of fascinating people. >> i love booktv and i am a c-span fan. >> welcome to the release of the national association of scholars new report. i am peter wood, president of the national association of scholars. in 2009, a young man heading for a

i am harold holzer, director of the roosevelt house. as. as always, it is a pleasure to welcome all of you to what is essentially the first of our evening public program to mark women's history month. march is women's history month. please remember that part of the celebration is the opportunity for you to have another look or perhaps your first look at the exhibition of women's suffrage material that we have on view upstairs. i was going to say only through the end of the month, we'll be announcing an extension but don't let that deter you from seeing it soon again and often. tonight tonight we are going to welcome to extraordinary women who will be speaking about to extraordinary women. it is a real pleasure to welcome both of them to the home of eleanor roosevelt's who played such a big role in polly murray's courageous and graham breaking life of activism. as the book book we are gathered here to discuss, the firebrand and the first lady, is really make clear for the first time. that. that is a particular pleasure to welcome everybody he

the white house. i will have richard tell the story. she personally lobbied theodore rooseveltor her husband's nod to succeed him. without helen taft, there would be no william howard taft in the white house. i will keep going, and you can stop me because i'm not the historian. but without william howard taft, there may not have been a angry theodore roosevelt, that messes a campaign, which put woodrow wilson in the white house. so here we go again. one woman's ambition starting this trajectory. richard: absolutely. an ohioan. she was among other things, one of the founders of the cincinnati symphony.

the roosevelt, 48 hours before he left the white house in 1909 saved mount olympus national monument in washington state so big ones can get done in the last year of a president. >> host: what do you think of the renaming of mount mckinley? >> guest: it is no real history to william mckinley. he was kind of the -- assassination, native american -- that particular case is more appropriate. i prefer the native american names, but also a little less thrilled when they named places after people like sonny bono national wildlife refuge or sometimes we use these, rather have them saved and have somebody's name on them than not say that all. >> host: john from oregon, you are on with douglas brinkley. >> caller: fascinating discussion. i look forward to purchasing the book. my question is what your opinion would be about the lens of the indigenous first nation's people, what we referred to as reservations and surrounding lands and how that can be protected in a manner similar to it national parks and wildlife refuges and stop the pillaging of minerals and mining on land that was theirs to b

he reorganized the place so it wasn't just an old plantation house. >> to that end, roosevelt's architectsrrange the entrance, removing this stairway and these victorian tiffany panels from the cross hall -- as well as all that old ornamental woodwork, like the plinths. the workers pile loads of rubbish outside, and souvenir hunters snatch it up. >> there is one letter from theodore roosevelt, and he said, "people are scattering around for souvenirs." >> so bill seale is beginning to believe that the meister family lore about great-uncle joseph must be true. and that this hunk of wood really is a relic of the white house, going all the way back to 1817, when president monroe moved in after that nasty business with the british. were you interested in it? >> very. i was stricken by it, to tell you the truth. >> so, something that looks like wood or plaster is actually a whole story, in and of itself? >> it's like dna. and the object has many, many things to say. >> and the next step is very much like a dna test. what they discover was that this strange inheritance was a lot more important an

he couldn't sit in the roosevelt room of the white house as he talked to the president. his incredibly eloquent man of 91 years, and to see that as one of the great historical moments of this country. i can also tell you what was equally powerful for the fathers and mothers of the movement was to see how proudly the torch they pass is being carried forward today. the civil rights movement grew out of church basements and word of mouth and strength and freedom songs in the power of young people's example. yet, thanks to technology and social media, today's leaders are building a new inclusive movement that is mobilizing people of all backgrounds to stand up for change for equal opportunity and education to a criminal justice system that is smarter, more effective, and more just. that is the thing about america. our america takes all of us. our elected officials are important, and the supreme court appointment the president will make is important. [applause] everything comes down to the constant perseverance of citizens like you and whether we exercise the right to vote wh

the white house. i will have richard tell the story. she personally lobbied theodore roosevelt for her husband's nod to succeed him. without helen taft, there would be no william howard taft in the white house. i will keep going, and you can stop me because i'm not the historian. but without william howard taft, there may not have been a angry theodore roosevelt, that messes a campaign, which put woodrow wilson in the white house. so here we go again. one woman's ambition starting this trajectory. richard: absolutely. an ohioan. she was among other things, one of the founders of the cincinnati symphony. cherryh you remember her blossoms, that is not what she focused on. she wanted to build a band show near washington so that people could, and listen to find music. she has a young woman had attended the 25th wedding anniversary party to the white house of rutherford and lucy hayes. she decided she would like to come back one day and spend more time. [laughter] , we talke tragedies about the string of tragedies of helen taft, who really wanted to be first lady. today she would be

the right thing. fdr, delano roosevelt, franklin delano roosevelt was in the white house as president, met with the labor leader in the great educational leader and they put forth a black agenda. franklin delano roosevelt said, i agree with everything you are saying. go on the public sphere and show them your pressing me to do the right thing. that should have happened with barack obama but it didn't. we only had half a brother, so to speak. it is understandable because he was unfairly assaulted by the right wing, vicious obstructionism, so black people were empathetic because it reflected what we feel when we occupy similar spaces, and as a result he was not pushed and told black lives matter rolls up, white reactionary behavior flooded the culture. then barack obama had to make serious speeches, like he did in selma in the sermon he delivered at mother emanuel church in south carolina. >> host: as you say, african-americans were in a quandary trying to support him but not give republicans or anyone against him fodder to go after him. then there is a chapter want to talk about. you said something about

the conversation so you will be invited to microphones. i want to welcome my friend ron. it is a banner day. it is wonderful that you are doing this for roosevelt house. here, it is very 25th. anniversary of the chartering of the first bank. against a lot of ampetition a lot of dissents lot of pushback from a recalcitrant congress who thought it was unconstitutional. how did your character maneuver against such formidable ron:ition as jefferson? hamilton was a messenger from the future. hamilton had a vision of the country that was not only not but alsoagriculture based on stock exchanges and large corporations and central banks. the world that we live in today. hamilton because of his asringing in the caribbean an illegitimate orphan kid has a sense of combat that he had to fight for survival. you can see this in his medical career when he battled with every verbal weapon at his disposal and wrote at inordinate length about things. harold: i wanted to get that anniversary note so we start out with a portrait of the combative hamilton. we are going to talk about this remarkable transition, transformation from the book to the stage. and i'mwe should a

the right thing and hold them accountable. but that joke of fdr of roosevelt was in the white house as president with the labor and peter h. philip randolph with a great education leader to put forth of black agenda and they said i believe in everything you are saying now go do that. go into the public's fear to do the right thing. so as the first black president so we only have half the brother so to speak. and it is understandable sturdy obstructionism is but twice it was reflected to occupy those bases and as a result he was a push to tell black lives matter comes up with that behavior flooded the culture than barack obama make some very serious speeches. that is brilliant and remarkable. >> and as we say to support him but then to have a chapter. talk to me. ice c on page 165. >> i finish the chapter quoting w. e. b. du bois talking about the black folks. that is inside baseball in that 2.two is thinker that is the tradition of black america. to hold them responsible for their behavior. like moses is in the bible. but also of to believe in structural impediment. get your foot off of my neck so i can flourish. space eve

amy: a few years after leaving the white house, president roosevelt wrote in a magazine -- "i wish veryh that the wrong people could be prevented entirely from breeding. feeble-minded persons forbidden to leave offspring behind them." >> i was on the amtrak the other day and i happen to be sitting next to a revered american historian, richard reeves, and he a just finished a book about the japanese interment and he said he was shocked to learn actually a genesis two and one of the things animating the japanese interment was that fdr thought the japanese were inferior. so this was widely held by people that we as a country still admire. nermeen: y also edbout the u.s. 1924 immigration act and how it was praised hitl could you talk about the act itself and how it was linked to this growing support for eugenics? >> it was large part motivated by eugenics. this villain of the book i mentioned harry laughlin, he was appointed expert eugenics agent to congress. there is letterhead from u.s. house committee of immigration is has expertly genex agent. he testified about the advantages and disad

the first to learn of roosevelt's passing. >> word came that grandpa was wanted at the white house immediately. grandpa wasn't quite sure that was for. he was like, okay, i'd better get over there. when he arrived, he was ushered into the family quarters and mrs. roosevelt greeted him and said, "harry, the president is dead." and he said he felt like the sun and the moon and all the stars had fallen. he was floored. my grandfather replied, "is there anything that we can do for you?" and she said, "i think the question is, is there anything we can do for you, because you're the one who's in trouble now." >> to fill the place left vacant by the sudden death of franklin d. roosevelt, harry s. truman became the 32nd president of the united states. >> franklin delano roosevelt was the great giant who had dominated politics for 12 years, through the depression, through the second world war, and so truman looks like a little pygmy compared to fdr. >> especially when he opens his mouth. >> we are depending upon each and every one of you. >> he had a terrible speaking style. >> the cause which claimed r

the children a month later to exchange christmas gifts, hugs and kisses. known. she was born in flushing queens and her home still stands on roosevelt avenue. after their eight years in the white house it was not an easy retirement for the glamorous hollywood couple. the president would be diagnosed with alzheimer's and she would become his fiercest nurse, protecting his image, guarding his legacy, supporting years. they were a company united in loyalty and in love. >> reporter: her roots were humble and her early years marked by turmoil. her parents divorced when she was young and she was september to live with an aunt and uncle she eventually reunited with her mother and took her stepfather's name, davis. she was 94 years old. sandra? >>> quite a legacy. thank you very much. stay with eyewitness news for complete coverage of the passing of former first lady nancy reagan. you can see a collection of photos chron cole her amazing life. >>> a developing story in queens where there is a manhunt. james dylan attacked three people in just four hours, killing one in a wild and brutal spree. eyewitness news reporter stefan kent is in astoria right now. >> reporter: let me step out of the

the white house. ultimately roosevelt by being elected for a third time outlasted mcreynolds. but there was a feeling that it was a lost cause at least for a generation. a number of states have sued to reverse the health plan. i wonder why. [laughter] toobin: the plan was rather controversial. 13 republican attorneys general have sued. definition of the state attorney general is someone who is running for governor. [laughter] this is a politically advantageous move on their part. there is no great deal now a great deal of commentary about whether these lawsuits can succeed. there is a doctrine that says don't address controversies until they are ripe. the individual mandate. requiring people to buy insurance. i don't think the court would even address the challenge until people are required to buy the insurance. >>i want to hear your comments -- and that decision. the sick chicken case. this case is the case that killed the nra. this was in 1935. and there was trepidation about -- about going forward with this case, but they do not have many good options. this is not a good te
