all right, white house myth number two. white house tunnels. in fact, we were just talking about this before class. the existence of tunnels. who use them. why did they use them? one of the stories is there were tunnels under the white house that a lot for a quick escape. that one could actually get to the potomac river and that dolly madison used it, that abraham lincoln had an escape tunnel. unfortunately, these are not true. we know that james hagen, the architect of the white house, did build several sewer systems. my guess is dolly madison probably would not have climbed through the sewer. she would not have wanted to travel that way. and these were installed for running water, but there were really not any full sized tunnels anyone could've used. this is the octagon house. this is where the medicines lived for about six months after the burning. it's just down the street from the white house. during the civil war, general winfield scott did suggest the possibility of adding a tunnel between the white house and the treasury building. here'

the white people.ecide if that is progress or not. [laughs] [laughs] but it's no longer segregation, have one race walking in the kitchen. overall, we have cooks that are culinary artists and many times family confide'ce. presidents go to their funerals, weddi'gs, send them notes and gifts when significant family events happened. we see presidents moved when they need to leave the white house. there is always a t)adition during the change of administration or the presidents staff lineup and the president goes down the line and thanks them all for their service. the other thing is there are often civil rights advocates pressing for african americans to have humanity accepted in the broader society. we saw what lizzy mick duffy did for fdr while campaigning, but another example is the longtime private cook for lyndon johnson. lyndon johnson, one pressing for the 1964 civil rights act, he uses for jim crow experiences to persuade members of congress to support the bill, because the family would drive back

book about the white house easter egg roll. into history, tell us about it today. how large is it in 2018? >> it would be a lot larger than it actually is, except the popularity is so high that everyone wants to be a part of they kept the attendance at about 30 to

white import .r empathy or engagement. if the most part. announcing the no white person new jeremiah who he was. but i'm saying the white culture unlock the broader political. the identity was not impacted by an therefore unconcerned with jeremiah wright, once the sermons became an issue any came the rep. of the presidents to be, obama. a sensible hatred of whiteness . then all of a sudden, they were loving onto these sermons and deconstructing every syllable and looking at every adverb and looking at every announcement partied made in the church because all this and became of interest. so the black people are used to existing in a parallel universe or even our great genius for the most part is ignored by white people. and they are deprived up not only an acknowledgment of our humanity but enriching of their humanity is well. robin: i see that creates a false since of relationship for white people. we worship these heroes of these images and singers and athletes. so we think we have relationships re

white people.so i'll let you decide if that's progress or not, but you know, it's no longer segregation because you have just pretty much one race working in the kitchen. but overall, we see that we have these cooks who are culinary artists and at many times they're family confidants. presidents go to their funerals. they go to their weddings. they send them notes and gifts wh)i!pp significant family even happen. we see presidentsfn0yç terriblyd when they have to leave the white house at the change of administration, there's always this tradition where the resident staff lines up and the president goes down the line and just thanks them all for their service. and the other thing is we see that they're often civil rights advocates. they're pressing for african-americans to have their humanity accepted in the broader society. we saw what lizzie mcduffy did for fdr while campaigns but another example is ser ef wright who was the long-time private cook for lyndon johnson. lyndon johnson when he was pre

decatur house and the white house historical association. tonight's program is very exciting and we are honored to partner with our good friends at the richard nixon foundation. i'd like to welcome dr. jim kavanagh, the chairman of the board of the nixon foundation, his wife esther right up here on the front row. and hugh hue wilt, the president of the nixon foundation you'll hear from in a few moments. many guests are here. we are happy to have you here tonight. this marks the 50th anniversary of patricia nixon becoming the first lady of the united states. they added over 600 paintings and the most of any presidency. the significance of this will be discussed in tonight's program but it's very important to us here at the white house historical association as a core part of our mission, which was inspired as most of you or all of you know by first lady jacqueline kennedy for conservation, restoration of those beautiful state rooms in the white house, for the acquisition of items for the permanent collection at the white house as well, and fo

white house. to have any friends who might be interested in working on this initiative? i'm sitting in my office in denver, she's and. d.c. it was called initiative for one america. it was a outgrowth of president clinton's initiative on race. it had this wild and crazy idea. if we would just talk to one another and listened we might realize that we have a lot more in common than what's supposedly divides us. after she told me, this i did the same thing that dick cheney did when -- george washington -- george bush asked him to head the search committee. only mine went on the. list so i did get the job, move to d.c., and boy i worked in the clinton white house at the end of the second term, after that i started this interest in food, writing and that led to the publication of soul food, and then to this. book now what i love about the roosevelt presidency is that it has been found in my. book we have these african americans who are celebrated culinary artist doing their best to make the presidents

other people around the white house to. jeremy: we cannot exactly say, well, valerie jarrett said no. so we were often the bad guys. joanne: absolutely. question over here? thought i saw a hand over here. jeremy: very shy crowd. joanne: it is a shy crowd. >> jeremy, i have a question regarding the couple that snuck into a party. how did that happen? how didn't they get checked? how did they get in when they were not on the guest list? jeremy: lea knows it even better than i do, because -- lea: that did not happen on his watch. jeremy: yes, let's make that real clear. [laughter] but it was, in fact, on june 7 of 2011 was my first state dinner out in the rose garden. it was gorgeous, but i could not relax for any of it, because you know that anything that goes wrong is what makes the story. and that gatecrasher certainly did put the fear in the white house that lasted the entire administration of mistakes happening. and it was -- unfortunately, the people who really suffer our guests now, because it is such a process. you hav

a privileged white person. someone who presumably, unlike her coworkers at cnn -- in fact, the dwarf king himself -- was both white and privilege, afflicted with something called white privilege. so much white privilege, in fact, that it blinded this person, because that is the thing about white privilege, keep doing it, you go blind. that is what the boss said. >> tucker carlson rolled his eyes at the idea of systemic racism. at white privilege. but perhaps he should roll those eyes on over to a mirror. it is entirely -- that clouds of black or brown americans would have been treated as a mostly white insurrectionist of the capital were on wednesday. >> tucker: [laughs] the lecture from the morning zoo lady. perhaps he should roll his eyes on over to a mirror. assuming you can even do that, when you've been blinded by white privilege.ro because white people can't see themselves, right? but maybe they should see themselves! they might stop insurrecting, stop being so white and privilege. it went on like this fo

on productions depicting the white house and the presidency from the white house historical association, this discussion took place at the john f. kennedy center for performing arts in washington. >>> good evening. i hope you've been enjoying tonight's program. it's fascinating and there's more to come. a year ago i was honored with fred ryan, the chair of our board, asked me to chaur the white house historical association's board committee for this important four-day summit. i want to thank the members of our committee, martha, mike, ann, and our historian adviser michael beschloss, for their year long/du#■ commitment and numerable contributions to the planning of this summit. with the terrific staff of the white house historical association and stewart mclawrence's vision and leadership we've convened more than 100 presidential sites as well as leading experts in the wide array of fields and interests that the presidential site representatives told us that they wanted to hear from. i want to thank our good friend david rubenstein for moderating a fascinating conversation with the desc

kennedy's hand in the east room of the white house. but mrs.kennedy also was able to expand the arts by making the white house a stage for the arts. remember we didn't have our national cultural center which came the kennedy center she worked to support that as her time as first lady. we didn't have that yet. we didn't have a national stage. this was part of the cold war message too that the united states had a cultural history and i love stewart's term of mrs. kennedy and her cultural diplomacy. this fit in with president kennedy's policies that he explain especially in the fall of 1963 his speech on the arts at amherst college end dedicating the frost library there about the importance of arts and the representation of arts in a free democracy. next slide, please. i didn't think that lafayette square would be quite in the news as it has been when i put together this presentation, but we need to thank mrs. kennedy for preserving it because in eisenhower administration there had been a movement supported by the president to take down the beauti

actively openly supported by whites and but what i'm saying is that we have a problem in white male identity and the white power structure that's what i'm talking about is a power structure and the most predominant and powerful power structure in this country which is you know white supremacist patriarchy and i would say you know even in the u.k. we see this as well and so absolutely this has been built in the image whether you like it or not if you are in white now and that means because you benefit from that you have some responsibility for it and you need to look at it openly if you can't handle hearing about it because it makes you feel implicated without stopping and going wait am i implicated isn't yet so far you're not actually in fasted in making change you value your comfort over the ways in which this violent system is crushing willing people of color. look in your book this is about status by making politeness and mellowness to. disinter vice white men from working to privileged status if you're constantly saying to be great just a being why would you struggle to make a real contr

we will focus on her time in the white house today. if i can have robert go to the next slide, we want to talk about mrs. kennedy today in light of the tremendous symbols and imagery that surrounded her time as first lady and the candidacy -- kennedy presidency. she was very straightforward in putting together and very detailed in how she went about this. i love to have some sort of a hook on which we can hang those symbols and images she developed. some were quite forceful. she was deliberately in that. some were just how she looked. to do that, i borrowed a definition from a political science colleague of mine, the late barbara ankle, who wrote a book called the symbolic presidents and the symbolic presidency. the subtitle was, how presidents present themselves. her definition, as you will see on the screen, was that political symbols convey a range of meaning beyond themselves. that is beyond what we might just see in the symbolism. and what we might see in the objects. that that symbol conveyed amoral or emotional or psychological

they did not particularly care about coming to the white house. they cared about getting on a tv show. >> we have a question right here. yes. >> [indiscernible] there's so much going on on so many different levels. how did you coordinate [indiscernible] jeremy: i drank a lot. [laughter] i actually had advised my predecessor, you should have a big bulletin board that tells every event of every day. we would have from 390 to 410 events every year. it was never spaced out the way you would want it to be, so it was keeping and i and knowing -- it was very difficult, so i would tell my staff, we are so busy going from one event to another, don't forget to enjoy the history of it. when there is a metal of honor or medal of freedom, this is an historic moment. this is something you are not going to see most likely in your post-white house lives, but it's difficult because you are going from one to another to another. i actually changed some of the staff when i got there. there. there was turnover. having a great staff -- i really hired people that had be

for them white power equals white supremacy, and white supremacy is only achievable with numerical dominance. in their minds arise in the black and brown population threatens their very existence. that fear that white people have tried into extreme two kills and incarcerate many black and brown people as possible to maintain their majority status. what we saw play out at the capitol and jennifer six is just a a continuation of that effort. it started long before when slave patrols were created to brutalize and create come brutalize and kill black after slavery. white fear of extinction has shown itself in black men being castrated by angry white mobs because the white men were afraid black men's ability to procreate. it manifested itself in putting millions of black and brown men in prison during their time reproductive years. it's manifested itself in the raw hatred -- black president because he represented the loss of white power. it manifested itself in dog whistle slogans like make america great again, which really means make america white again. it manifests itself in putting brown and

i believe no democratic presidential candidate has won the white vote, certainly not the white class working vote, that's a long time to lose a significant percentage of the population. are they lost forever to the democrats? we have a new president who is a working-class fellow himself, his background. is he able to change that dynamic or is he just going to be a transitional figure because he's going to be 82 by the time his presidency ends and i'm not counting on a second term. how did the democrats lose it? is it simply -- and i put the word simply", the emphasis on minorities, on immigrants and various interest groups, be they gays or women's rights or so on, all of which are legitimate, nonetheless left a ash left a lot of people feeling out of it. or are there other factors at work? i guess i will throw it to you, senator? sen. webb: -- let me let david -- [crosstalk] david: pat buchanan's note to richard nixon. in light of these events, let's member the hardhat riot occurred four days after kent state. the dow jones crashed to the greatest extent since jfk's assassination. th

the white house historical association to read a young readers book about the white house easter egg roll. before we get into history, tell us about it today. how large is it in 2018? >> it would be a lot larger than it actually is, except the popularity is so high that everyone wants to be a part of they kept the attendance at about 30 to 35,000 people. >> where is it held today? >> it's held on the south grounds, the south lawn of the white house. that's what i like to call the president's backyar". >> and are the eggs real eggs? >> the eggs are sometimes real. they also use wooden eggs. here. >> they're collectibles. >> definitely. there is traditionally some real eggs used and in the past it was all real. >> who gets to go? >> anyone can go, but you have to submit a request online in advance. and then a lucky lottery winner gets to go. the other thing is, you need to have a small child with you. otherwise, it's really an event for the kids, and otherwise you jusá have adults like me wanting to go. >> your book really details a lot of the interesting history ong of the interesting

her whiteness.poton of a around racial dynamics could lead to a larger discussion of white feminism and white entitlement. they be im only responding to her whiteness because the play is constructed to perceive unequal racial positioning. maybe it is such a stretch that it will snap back to hit me in the face. the sting lingers. i cannot let it go. i will not let it go. what do you care? i ask myself. from this moment forward, how slipy will the pronoun we from my lips? i asked my friend, this white --an speaks of understanding [no audio] what does she see in my face? he did not want to. is she speaking about exhaustion? exhaustion, i can understand. it is tied to fatigue and addressing the onslaught of regenerating racism brings forward fatigue and all of us. or is it this simple? i do not have to do what a black woman tells me to do. i am white. don't you see that? to.d not want but i want is what matters. i am a white woman. i am the one that matters. . did not want to are these the unspoken sent

house, pieces about intellectuals in the white house as well as emergency preparedness in the white house and the use of social media by presidents. so, i hope you will take the time to listen, but also to think about buying this book, white house. we've got fourth of july coming up, we've got more president's birthdays in the summer and anytime is good for someone to learn about the white house and presidency. kiron skinner is also a person of action and scholarly repute and worked recently in the white house or in the state department director of policy and planning. served an um into -- served a number of administrations as well as presidential campaign and the professor and director of institute of politics and strategy at cash carnegie mellon university and she's written books on reagan an and foreign policy as well. we have a great line-up today and we're going to jump in the meat of the book. we want you to get a sense of tevi what is in the book, the key points and turn to kiron to hear her thoughts and we will have some conversations. i'll mention it to you, when i come to

with white house curators. they request loans from us. we request loans from them, so it was really nice to be able to get these works, and to have preserved.fully in they look fantastic. asked do first ladies get to choose who the artist is for their official portrait and to the artist receive a commission for their work? dr. shaw: yes and yes. first ladies, presidents choose. there are the portrait gallery portraits and the white house portraits, of course, which are two separate commissions. portrait, youor a are exposing yourself as a sinner. you want to have an artist working with you that you have a good relationship with, that you feel comfortable with. it is very important that not only does this inner light of work that the artist does but they also have a report with with them.port part of the commissioning process is making sure that is the case. sometimes a portrait is made of a president, the first lady, and they do not like it. ladies have been such sensitive and conscientious folks that if they d

at this debates among whites.ously, i'm being provocative. >> but not necessarily untruthful. >> not necessarily untruthful. i'm just being provocative to make the point. >> yeah, your question is, i mean, we could spend a lot of time on that, you know, on that question, but let me just make a couple of points. one is i think the notion of marriage and when people get married and those sorts of things, there's a generation canal phenomenon in that too. there's a cultural phenomenon that's at work. people are marrying a lot later, a lot later than the current, you know, like, the people who are just coming into their 20s and 30s than they did when i was younger. and that's a cultural phenomenon. and the downsides of some of the things you talked about, i think, are very apparent. in a number of ways. the opioid crisis and your issue about sort of -- i don't know exactly the words you had used but sort of a self- -- not self-destruction but something to that effect. >> well, certainly self-limiting. let's put it tha

he's in the white house. stephanopoulos was no more talks about how much he dislikes and but in the end, he noticed clinton the in the force had results. sometimes the president recognizes benefits, fostering little bit of chaos to get the. >> thank you. i think you have given a good sense of what is in the book. there's certainly reason to go out and buy the book. i'm going to do two things. first, i want to remind you the audience, we will come to you later for questions. submit your question on facebook, or the youtube chat function or twitter. you have all sorts of work in this area. first, some thoughts on the book and then if you want to share some of your experiences in the trump or reagan experiences. >> i'd like to thank you all of the center for going this book event in the work you across the political divide to bring us together and talk about these policy issues. this is a great demonstration of what you did and believe in. republicans in the white house interacting in a scholarly way. that being

she said during her white house dreadede said, i really coming to the white house for fear of loss of privacy, and what would be the impact on these young children? firster, they are the president and first lady to have a baby between the election and inauguration. they come to the white house and the children do not come immediately. three year old caroline, an infant john junior. she was worried what would be the impact of living in this fishbowl? she wrote to bill walton about halfway through her time and she said it's the happiest time i've known. i have control of the things i need to do, and i can farm out those things i don't want to do, but i get to live at the same home with my husband, whereas before he would be out on the road frequently campaigning and running in the senate. this way, his office was at home. he had a home office. she said at that point, it was happy. but obviously, the tragedies at the end of the presidency took their toll, but certainly towards the end of her life, she seems to have had real happiness with maurice templeton. her children were doing well.

and she said during her white house time, she said i really dreaded coming to the white house for fear loss of privacy, what would be the impact on her two young children. they're the only president and first lady to have a baby between the election and the inauguration so they come to the white house. 3-year-old caroline and infant john jr. she was really worried what would be the impact of living in this fish bowl? and she wrote to bill walton about halfway through her time in the white house and said it's the happy time that i know. i can farm out the things that i don't want to do. but i get to live in the same home with my husband. before, he would be out on the road frequently, campaigning, when he was in the senate. and this way, his office was at home, he had a home office. obviously the tragedies at the end of the presidency took their toll. but i think certainly towards the end of her life, she seemed to have found happiness with maurice, her children were doing well, she had grandchildren, one named from her husband jack and two granddaughters from caroline and i think at th

all white panel talking about white supremacy in the us police force that's pretty telling in and of itself or i like. yes they're aware of it there was a strategic women like shift towards the end of my time in the way of power movement for this particular infiltration to begin to happen to purposefully enter into policing into the military into teaching into government offices so that. there could be influence exerted from inside these spaces. and and i would disagree a little bit that i do think that the internet has played a role obviously yes the commander in chief of this nation basically giving a free pass has in enormous impact what we know like facebook took down in a giant police group where there was all kinds of white supremacist stuff being shared and infiltrate and that that the internet allows for this connectivity and also for the normalization of overtly white supremacist ideas amongst police forces beyond ones like local local area and i think that the influence of that and that connectivity and the ability to organize mobilize and normalize what they're doing is in

and the other issue you bring up as the white liberals. those are the people, white moderates. those are the people who say i agree with you in general . the nose of the right time. we have big first to fry. there were always be a bigger fish to fry and tackling white supremacy. always. and the reason that reconstruction fails is because there was a contested election. and the compromise is always a compromise. it was to withdrawal federal troops from the south. so everybody knew what was going to happen. and that's exactly what happened. everybody was calling constitutional message to literally fight some promising into the dna. in fact go back and read those minutes. they're not shy about it. there literally thing that i am here to write white supremacy into the law. robert: set talk about the politic role. and acknowledge the president trump has been in attracted the largest percentage of black folks in the last 40 years. in a significant number of hispanic votes . by 30 percent . and gaze as well for any so it seems to me that people main strategic decisions. maybe not raci

so white privilege does depend on white subjugation. the reality is as you alluded to, poor whites are much more likely to be integrated into middle class white communities then poor blacks are likely to be interesting to any kind of middle class community. we do not have -- when we got to right in this country in metro politan areas, we do not have white ghettos of -- they are mixed in with a broader population. so yes, i agree with you. >> i think it's very important to disabuse people of the notion that donald trump was elected by four white people. the medium income i believe throwing out the republican primary, the average vote was 72,000 dollars or so. that is way, way above any sort of income i mean middle class black person. that would be a relatively high income for a middle class so it's important that we not dump this at the feet of poor white people. donald trump swept white people regardless of democratic across the board. she under, clause, education, etc. >> we are going to take three more questions. thank you both for yo

we don't have white ghettos.hey're mixed in with the broader population. so, yes, i agree with you. >> i think it's very important to disabuse people of the notion that donald trump was elected by poor white people. the median income, i believe, during the republican primary of the average trump voter was about $72,000 or so. that is way, way above any sort of income that any sort of -- i mean, middle class black person even -- that would be a relatively high income for a middle class black person. so it's important that we not dump this at the feet of poor white people. donald trump swept white people regardless of demographic across the board. gender, class, education, et cetera. he just won. >> we are going to take three more questions. >> -- amazing and you're powerful and, mr. rothstein, i agree with the premise that segregation, the law, has pushed us through government programs to desegregated areas. my question is how does that enforce our de facto segregation. in theory our laws are based on personal cho

what is happening with the white working? 40 percent of the landscape and now yesterday every to put democracy further risk. was a very disturbing event and a very important trend and demographic group. we are very excited to have some of the best people to talk about this issue and as well to this situation might have the group turned around traditionally supported by democrat to go to a republican party before we introduce our judge i want to give aiv shout out to ambassador you have a lot of distinguished guests in our audience today and then to answer questions. we could go over tomo accommodate. and author of fox news channel but also served in a number of referrals. political real clear politics the first book was prescient with done neglected for white men and the democratic dilemma and other common years ago the latest are in the hardhat hardhat most notable blocks of 2020. it is available on the website and will sign the way if you would like this is a passionate interest occurs for a long time so we are grateful to

and we show her in this beautiful portrait from the white house which was done after leaving the whiteouse and at sure would forest, a plantation in virginia that her husband bought for her. she was a first lady who had a real reputation for being beautiful and social before coming to the white house. she had scandalize for parents, her family by doing this advertisement in 1844 a newspaper, she is just kind of paraphrasing. if you see that cartoon right by her handbag, in the image it says something to the effect of, i always shop at my cleanly and smith, they have all the best merchandise. it's such cheap prices. this was a scandal. it's a drawing, how do people know it was her? along the bottom of the advertisement it says the rose of long island. and this was her nickname. our name which she was known as coming out as a beautiful debutante on long island. before she was born in new york on long island, she did a period when slavery was still illegal in new york. her family was wealthy, they still owned gardeners island which is a very large island off the coast of long island. she

i said, i do in the white house: instances where you have cabinet secretaries buying has white house staffers or people who seemed to be delegated by the president in a way that was different from what the county government would seem to entail one story in ministration is true and was basically he would issue whether it was recognized, today it's not such controversial proposition. but at the time it was a day? for us policy and most of the national security establishment was against it including george marshall was not only a war hero but secondary estate and truman was revered more than anyone else in public life. truman you he wasn't hearing the other side of the issue so he decided: at the time a white house aide to make the case are recognizing israel and his white house meeting or he would be running against marshall. marshall was not interested in having this junior white house a way the present no. truman backed up clifford and he said he's here because i have to me be here, clifford mexican in the us does recognize israel marshall was so angry he lost his argument he again

he was a white supremacist. he considered himself a conservative, he was a democratic party leader, and he was perhaps the most prolific look speaker at public monument dedications at least in north carolina, if not everywhere. he is always at dedications, if you look at his planner, you are always fighting julian carr front and center giving a speech. in his speeches are preserved at the university of north carolina at chapel hill. they have a bunch of his speeches, and it was these speeches that led me to this project. he is so central in this monument building movement that i think it is worth focusing on him as our key example. you can see him here as he was one of the leading speakers. this was at the dedication of the liberty monument. you can see him there in the center speaking in his confederate uniform. and though through these speeches and fundraising, he was a leading propagator of the lost cause, and his mission was to recall the war in a specific way, which frequently overlapped with his goals arou

did he bring slaves to the white house?>> nine of the first 12 presidents brought enslaved people, used enslaved labor at the white house because you're trying to figure out what do you need to get a building going and to get a whees going? what do you need for the entertainment? it was slave lake ror that was going to provide the foundation for them to craft and create what became the white house. >> so one of his aides or assistants was a slave named paul hemmings who wrote a book who later worked at the white house. did people believe slaves wrote in those days and why was it accepted? >> the enslaved people often didn't have a voice, but when they had the opportunity or to have their stories told they shared them in a very candid way. it is really one of the first books to help us understand about what life was like in the white house and definitely it was interesting because through the lens of someone who was enslaved brings a special richness to it. >> so many people who were from the north were against slavery and t

supremacy our history of racial violence until white people like me are ready to lean into that shack to construct some very strong and powerful in our work as far as questions for the author i have a 1000000 but i also think it's important that people like myself start doing the work for themselves instead of putting people of color in the position of having to mentor us teach us and guide us and ultimately make us feel better about everything we need to do this work it's our turn. you know i think that's very true that we live the work and i think it's also important to recognize when people hear. someone say the way in. which there was a society at the very were you are racist what. people get upset because they're like i'm so over for love but the truth is as we're talking about suspects in them and we're talking about overarching stories about the loud roar of populations of color that we can't know what is in some form and so it is important if you do have that love if you do so when there was nothing but love in my heart with you it will all races and ethnicities that you know
