the great job that you did. my father name was theodore roosevelt. now.urse, he's passed even before i started to school, he tells me about the me evelts, he talked to about theodore and of franklin and how progressive they were. i would he relateivity like for you to expound on if on would shed some light this. president obama is a progressive. always trying to bring the class and poor class up. why is it that during this age receiving the t our country thrives on the middle class people. you're right. we've been locked in several years for k

i think we know as much about the roosevelts. we also know a lot, a good deal with their private life and that's been extremely helpful especially with regard to the letters of daisy sukely you mentioned later that have given dimension to what has been often a one-dimensional portrait of franklin's very complex personality. >> f.d.r. and eleanor each drew on a wide circle of friends and supporters. both professionally and personally. what did they draw from one another? >> well, as much as our tabloids sensibility wants to accent their differences, this is one of the most remarkable if not the most remarkable partnerships that i've ever come across in my life. she was his conscience, the conscience of his administration. he was the pragmatic politician who knew how to get it done. he betrayed her with an affair when he was assistant secretary of the navy in the 19 teens during world war i. had an affair with her social secretary. that, in some ways, became a liberating moment for eleanor roosevelt. i think it's important to unders

[inaudible conversations] >> good morning, everyone. i am the deputy director at the franklin d. roosevelt presidential museum and it is my pleasure to welcome you to the eleventh annual roosevelt reading festival. when fdr established the first presidential library at his home in hyde park he imagined it being the premier research center for the study of the roosevelt era and we are consistently one of the busiest research rooms in the presidential library system and one of the reasons we love this so much is we get to see the fruit of the labors of all the people who use our research rooms throughout the year so it is our pleasure to have you here. let me quickly go over the format of the day as well as a couple housekeeping matters. the first thing is will everyone take out your electronic devices and turn them off so there presentation isn't interrupted tod

who settled the matter of who was boss on this hemisphere. roosevelt wanted the world to know the u.s. was now a force to be reconned with on land and sea. he conceived the idea of the great white fleet. >> in the wake of the spanish american war, the european powers started recognizing hey the united states is also a great power. and president roosevelt, teddy roosevelt decided to sent the united states fleet around the world. it's kind of, you know show american naval strength. and those days, the battleships were painted white. that's where the expression great white fleet comes from. >> reporter: the fleet was not quite the triumphant battle machine it appears. the ships were mostly obsolete by the standards of the time and two of them were in such poor disrepair that they could not complete the cruise. when the ships pulled into san francisco in the summer of 1908 for the very first fleet week they were greeted with awe and respect. despite the fact that the coal powered ships left a dismal fog of black smoke wherever they sailed. the visit had a

that have anything to do with you -- >> no, we've been talking about doing the roosevelts for as long as i've known geof or franklin or we decided to put them all three together which had never been done before. in the midst half way through new england historic genealogical society gave me an award present me with this book told me that, franklin and theodore and eleanor they are fifth cousins. i am 7th cuss towns theodore and eleanor once removed and eighth cousin once removed to franklin. i may than is the point which we do full disclosure.

the word. this is not just about teddy roosevelt and franklin d. roosevelt but also about eleanor roosevelt. who is a figure as remarkable in history as perhaps her husband. let's just talk about the similarities between teddy and franklin and connection there. let's just run this clip. >> they belonged to different parties. they over came different obstacles. they had different temperments and styles of leadership. but it was the similarities and not the differences between the two that meant the most to history. both were children of privilege who came to see themselves as champions of the working man. and earned the undying emnity of many of those who had grown to manhood they shared a sense of stewardship of the american land. and unfamed love for people and politics. and firm belief that the united states had an important role to play in the wider world. >> schieffer: doris, the thing that struck me over and over again, we find the same thing with eleanor roosevelt. these were rich people. these were rich boys and she, of course, she was came from family of means. but what was it that ca

i think we know as much about the roosevelts. we also know a lot, a good deal with their private life and that's been extremely helpful especially with regard to the letters of daisy sukely you mentioned later that have given dimension to what has been often a one-dimensional portrait of franklin's very complex personality. >> f.d.r. and eleanor each drew on a wide circle of friends and supporters. both professionally and personally. what did they draw from one another? >> well, as much as our tabloids sensibility wants to accent their differences, this is one of the most remarkable if not the most remarkable partnerships that i've ever come across in my life. she was his conscience, the conscience of his administration. he was the pragmatic politician who knew how to get it done. he betrayed her with an affair when he was assistant secretary of the navy in the 19 teens during world war i. had an affair with her social secretary. that, in some ways, became a liberating moment for eleanor roosevelt. i think it's important to unders

this is the roosevelts in intimate history. having said that i feel qualified in the early 20th century to have to warn you that this is not tabloid history. we are interested in getting to know them. we often debate in our films the tensions between a topdown history and a bottomup history. this has been for many years the dynamic and argument within history. is it only topdown, is it only about famous people, wars and generals and presidents? or is it also about so-called ordinary people, women, minorities, labor, people like you and me for whom the real history of america is written. we believe it is a mixture of the two. and even in a film like this we try to engage a topdown alongside a bottom-up history to tell something more complicated, more nuanced with undertoe, et cetera. but this is also an inside-out history. i don't mean to suggest this is in some ways filled with psycho babble. it is a family drama. we want to understand about their parents. we want to understand about their childhoods. we want to understand about

the roosevelts are up there with the kennedys.h two presidents and one of the most influential first lady is, they left a mark. film maker ken burns is turning his focus on these three key figures. jane o'brien is soon speaking with him. >> as america burst into the 20th century, one family touched more lives than any other. the irrepressible theodore roosevelt was president. his distant cousin franklin could become president. niece eleanor was franklin's wife. they had power, but were scarred by grief and infidelity. for filmmaker ken burns, it is a family saga made for tv. >> we are interested in very essential questions. how do life experiences shape character? how does leadership create the kind of world the roosevelts ushered him? about the known roosevelts individually, but this is the first documentary to examine them together. >> what unites them is this willingness to take the physical limitations, the psychological limitations that they have acquired or were born with, and to overcome them, and to see that they can there

let's watch her for a second here. >> the roosevelt marriage was a partnership in which each played aery important part. each admired the other. each wanted very much the approval of the other. that was true throughout their lives together even when they were mad at each other. they lived very separate lives even when they were in the white house they were very separate lives. and she took the sort of cold view of his fame and the kind of popularity he had she knew he was and he wasn't quite what they thought he was. >> the more she stood up for the anti-lynching law, fighting the lynching thing in the '30s, of course, that's tough for a democrat because of the coalition and she also come out and quit the d.a. or daughters of the american ref las vegas because they wouldn't let marian anderson who is african-american sing at the constitution hall and stuck her neck out. >> everywhere. everywhere. she's a miracle of the human spirit. she shouldn't have survived her orphanhood age desperate childhood and the infidelity of franklin, in fact, though, it's these things that made her face h

95, if you are headed into downtown philadelphia, if you are headed out of northeast, stay on the roosevelt boulevard, continue down through the schuylkill. or, stay on the roosevelt boulevard, make left at aramingo, you can jump on 95 there. or, if you like lights, stay on area minor it, will dump you on delaware. few ways to get around it. i'm nor'easter, i can help you out with. that will still one lane either direction both northbound and southbound at that incident scene. we will definitely continue to keep you updated for sure. and regards to your rush, not really seeing too much after problem, the only problem is that 95 incident. how much, we don't have too much after problem for weather. it is just little bit chilly out there, katy? >> basically the exact story i was going to offer up for you here today. torrey, you know, things looking very, very quiet. by comparison, to the traffic scenario right now, on storm scan3, so, at least we have that going for us, no weather-related concerns for us, until that sun comes up, then starts to mess with you, in terms every sunday glare. if yo

the roughriders. always colonel roosevelt to the end. a wonderful opportunity for the national firearms museum to be the temporary custodians of these national treasures literally from our nation's attic. in fact a number of firearms his six children enjoyed using -- his oldest son earned the medal of honor at utah beach. his second son kermit, major in the british expeditionary forces during world war i and the united states in world war i and world war ii, died at fort richardson, alaska in 1943. son number three, archie disabilitygiven 100% from wounds received twice, both in world war i and world war ii -- and the first to pass, a fighter pilot shot down by the germans over france in 1918. the firearms used in the service for recreation around sagamore hill, as well as on safari in africa, are still wonderful examples and artifacts we can literally look at, reach back and touch the past. perhaps one of my favorite stories is of this winchester model 94. if you look closely at the muscle, there is an action silencer mounted on the end

he learned that the roosevelts loved the old house. he loved -- all roosevelts love old houses and loved antiques. he loved that they wanted the historic white house and they wanted to live there. it was inevitable to be central to his administration and so mckim spun a web and wrapped the youthful president like a hero's cloak in all the prestige of the past. it was all to be a world image we now have been -- were an international nation. we had ambassadors, the world had changed and mckim restored the exterior but the interior which was the same house, but it was decorated in a more european way embassies were, with the french furniture and all. yet mckim's touch preserved the white house, bringing it into a new era with pinache. mckim preserved the exterior plan and the plan of the white house as people knew it. he tore off additions people loved, the conservatory. building new wings to the side. one is a new entrance, the other as new offices known today as the west wing. there were bathrooms, coat rooms, storage rooms and modern ni

stay on the roosevelt b jump on 95. aking a left off of the boulevard, onto harbison, it turns into aramingo, and you can jump on 95, there, the best alternate. northeast ex it n sean southbound beyond quakertown, still accident here. it is supposed to be ongoing until 2:00 p.m. this afternoon, because they have tow take one load of what was the truck involved in that incident, and now move it toward another. but as we take a look at numbers, i mean, rush hour delays still sprinkled all over. eleven traveling on 95, that's in either direction going to and from center city, also delays on 959 delco, 15 on the blue route, seven on the schuylkill expressway. turnpike out of bucks county, all the way down through to the mid-county toll plaza so, quite a mess, traffic wise, but weather wise, it seems to be pretty pretty prep. >> i you no what, we pretty much saved the best for last, speaking of it being so pretty outside. i'll show this nice wide zoom what's going on, looking at tropical satellite, tie in what's going on in t

why the roosevelts? has been written, so much seen on film in fiction and nonfiction about these families. tell me about your fascination and you see these connections. i never thought about fdr and teddy roosevelt as being that similar because they're in different parties, one, of course, inafflicteded with polio, the other the rough rider the forceful physical president. >> that's the whole reason to do it in this new fashion. they have is segregated by this arbitrary label of party. it was assumed they didn't have anything in common but together the three of them, including eleanor, this is a family that touched more american lives than any other family in american history, more of our world was created by both roosevelts than any other president and it's an intertwined complicated family drama like a downtownton abby, american, only it has the virtue of being true that we had to dive into it. we didn't like segregating these three extraordinary people into their own separate stories. it's united and

and another incident that just kind of came up this morning, on the roosevelt boulevard. aveling in the southbound direction, approaching wissahickon, an accident is blocking the left-hand lane. >> this delay stemming back toward broad street, because the rush now coming in this is only going to continue to grow. so good thing that you're watching us right now, because you can plan ahead. also dealing with speeds dropping on the schuylkill expressway within your western suburbs, and look at that, 16 on 95, through the construction zones, watch out for delays out of northeast philadelphia, down through the vine st. expressway, and be minds full after accident on the northeast extension southbound right around the mid-county toll plaza, also, adding a little bit more traffic out there. so, again, plan accordingly, give yourself more time. err dismay. >> tour, thank you. happening today, vessels return to the indian ocean in search of missing airlines flight 370. three ships plan to cover 350 nautical long area of the ocean floor using sonar, other technology. the plane vanis

good morning, everyone, if you are traveling on the roosevelt boulevard, you know it, if you are living in the northeast, we've been dealing with the paving patterns throughout the early morning, exactly what we're dealing with right now, northbound traveling on the roosevelt, we do have pavers taking out that inside lane. so probably good idea to stay to the outside. southbound traveling on the roosevelt, no major problems, note as they move further north up the boulevard, into far northeast philadelphia, you will notice intersections being compromised by police officers, so just keep that in minds. traveling on the schuylkill expressway no major delays in either direction. everything this morning so far continues to be nice and clear. not only on the schuylkill, but 422, pa turnpike, 202, vine st. expressway, taking a look at the new jersey turnpike, we do have overnight work at exit two, route 322, so be minds full of. that will also on the pa turnpike westbound between bensalem and willow grove, also construction, watch out for the guys and gals in the hard hats, and as we take a lo

good weather-wise as you head out for your morning ride and the traffic is moving well here along the roosevelt boulevard, route 1. headlights coming northbound approaching broad street with no issues. of course farther north in the northeast we do have the paving work going on in the inyour drive and we're just getting word of a crash on the southbound roosevelt boulevard at grant avenue. you want to watch out for that. also getting word of one in the mayfair section of the city along rowland avenue at sheffield street right by abraham lincoln high school. a one vehicle wreck that took down a pole so there's also a local power outage. instead of rowland maybe stick with frankford avenue as an alternate. on the big picture so far so good on the schuylkill and 95. but right by washington square the action camry mains on the scene of the overnight water main break. seventh completely blocked off on the west side of the square right by the garden. for your northbound travels this morning maybe stick with fifth or ninth instead of seventh. we'll keep watching that. also in burlington county, had a

he has the same enthusiasm and confidence he had when as a little boy. theodore roosevelttrying to escape the demons. he's always running faster than those demons. and eleanor is very much like that, but she's also saying, get up every day and do something that you don't want to do. it's facing your fears. that's what all of them did in a way. and they did it in an active way that they instilled confidence in others. when you think about saying even just eleanor roosevelt, who should not have even survived her childhood to be not only of the moment, but to understand our future, what the issues were, of race, of poverty, of children, of health, of women, of immigrants, of labor, all of these things that are still the front page of our discussion today, and she was doing it more than half a century ago. >> one of our facebook communities sent in a question today asking you, what was the most amazing revlation that came to you in the course of this project? >> in the end, as much as i love theodore and eleanor, it's understanding what franklin roosevelt was actually going th
