the second would be woodrow wilson. and this is henry cabot lodge woodrow wilson got one of the first newfangled imported degrees, called the phds. we were importing them from germany, where american academics were in love with all things germany, at the turn of the previous century. but henry cabot lodge one one us if not the first ph.d. in history, from harvard university. his ph.d. was on teutonic line holding land hold owning history. like will sing and like roosevelt he could read german. can you imagine, presidents being able to learn foreign languages. he has a long increasingly articulated view of america's place in the world, what's also very interesting, he hates woodrow wilson. it's going to get personal, that might fly at princeton and that will not fly at harvard. it's going to come right back to the president of the united states. so how do they start fighting, i want to tell one story about the debate of the united states that no one remembers. how to end world war i with imperial germany. this is going t

woodrow wilson. the only ph.d. in political listen to become the president denied since he probably did so badly that he's probably gonna be the only president who has a ph.d. in political science. notice that he had quite a reputation. he had been quite imported reformer in princeton university where he was eight convinced christian pressed to patisserie and he led the reform. he had a chaotic elected a system -- set in for court to have a democracy we all need people who at least know some stuff together. and yet abolished what they called the princeton eating clubs which we would now call fraternities and incompatible with the new quality of american democracy. so he is doing a lot. but i think the most important thing to know but woodrow wilson is the date of his birth. and the police of his birth. he was born in virginia, and he was raised by a presbyterian father in south carolina. he said that his earliest memory was running down the street shouting that lincoln had been elected in there would be a. war his

hays and also to woodrow wilson, a farther reach.s i mentioned to you, the part of this whole process, there were a lot of socialites that were involved. my great grandma came from kansas city, missouri. >> what a great story. six degrees of separation. >> caller: steve, one more thing i might mention. in her later years she was writing cowboy novels and i'll tell you about how women get disenfranchised, when she first started writing cowboy novels about her life she would send it in with her name on it and no one would publish a woman author. so she changed her name to her son's name in order to get the publisher to publish these cowboy novels. >> now you have to write the book, ron. we'll feature it on book tv. i appreciate it. >> yes, i think there's a lot there. first, the first point the caller makes is about class and the interesting part about the women's suffrage movement is there were women who were working class, industrial workers, teachers, who became part of the movement and there were also, as the caller said, there wer

also to woodrow wilson. as i mentioned to you, the incestuous part of this process is there were a lot of socialites involved. my great-grandmother came from canada. -- kansas city, missouri. that is where it all started for her. host: six degrees of separation. caller: wait, wait, wait. one more thing i might mention, in her later years, she was writing cowboy novels. i will tell you how women get disenfranchised. when she first started writing cowboy novels about her life, she would send it in with her name on it and no one would publish a woman author. she changed her name to her wilsoname, robert hayes in order to get the publisher to publish the cowboy novels. host: now you have to write the book. we will feature it on book tv. thank you. guest: yes, i think there was a lot there. the first point is about class. there were women who were working class industrial workers, teachers who became part of a movement. there were also wealthier women who became involved in the movement. some became funders to th

he was a young adviser to woodrow wilson and then he broke with woodrow wilson at the new republic. and the new republic in the summer of 1919 published a major attack on the versailles peace treaty and league of nations. thousands of subscribers to the new republic canceled their subscriptions, angered at the attack on the president and this league. by the way walter litman would say 15 years later, one of the biggest mistakes of my life. if i could do things over again i would have continuesed to support woodrow wilson and the league. not only strong public support, there's really interesting stuff going on among key american intellectuals aggravated with the president but deciding that overall the possibility of progressive reform and international governance is still worth it to try to get to the league. but here's the last thing you need to know, before we start into a couple really important points. i think using a stoplight approach that we can get a glimpse of what the balance in the senate was about this treaty, and you're going to start to suspect something pretty quickly.

what role did woodrow wilson play in this?ilson, when he came to the white house in 1913, was not a supporter of women's suffrage. he tried to avoid the issue as much as possible. as time went on, he did grow and change his opinion when he realized it would hurt him. it would hurt the democratic party for a long time in the future if he did not change his opinion. aliceffragists, led by or the first united states citizens to protest in front of the white house. they started in 1917. at first, woodrow wilson was lukewarm at their presence. he might tip his hat at them or politely not at them when he would exit the north gate of the white house, but things changed when the united states entered world war i. after the united states was involved in the war effort and the suffragists are made outside the white house protesting, woodrow wilson grew angry. time, heain point in ordered they be removed. the d.c. police started arresting women outside the white house. up, approximately 158 women were arrested outside the white house for

at first, woodrow wilson was lukewarm at their presence.he might tip his hat were exitely nod when he would the white house, but things changed when united states entered world war i, and the suffragist were still outside protesting, and woodrow wilson became very angry. he ordered that they be removed, so the d.c. police started arresting women outside of the white house. approximately, 168 women were arrested outside the white house for the two years in which they protested and served prison time, either in the d.c. jail or in the workhouse, 22 miles south of washington, d.c. host: prison for what? what was the charge? guest: it was obstructing traffic, and of course they were not obstructing traffic, they were standing on the whit sidewalk of the white house. they were acting on the orders to remove the women from the area outside the white house. they were not breaking any laws. they were exercising free speech. just because they could not vote at the time did not mean they were not citizens and did not have the right to free speech. ho

it occurred around the inauguration of the woodrow wilson. it occurred the day before as woodrow was arriving in washington, d.c. in point of fact, it was such a large suffrage parade and also there was a lot of violence by bystanders. that overshadowed woodrow wilson's inauguration. >> the interaction between the women marching and the parade goers is what makes headlines. does it help their cause? >> certainly alice paul, the head of the national women's party, she thought it did. what it certainly does is raise in the consciousness of all citizens the fact that this is a concern an issue of women. certainly the violence that occurred in the parade made people think about women and the protections they needed. in this sense that violence could happen to a set of women walking peacefully through the streets. that really raised consciousness in an important way. >> you mentioned picketing outside of the white house. the arrest of these women, they were held in prison, and some decide to do a hunger strike. and then they are force fed. what do

the most famous stories was of the 1913 suffrage parade which occurred around the inauguration of woodrow wilson. it occurred the day before as he was entering washington, d.c. it was such a large suffrage parade and also there was a lot of violence by standard, so that had actually overshadowed woodrow wilson's inauguration. >> the interaction between the women marching and the paradegoers, makes headlines. does it help their cause? >> alice paul, the head certainly thought it did. it races in the consciousness of all citizens the fact that this is a concern and issue of women. the other aspect of it was certainly the violence that kurd in that parade also made people think about women and the protections they needed. in the sense of what happened to a set of women walking in the streets that really raised consciousness. >> another tactic, you mentioned the picketing outside the white house, the arrest of these women and held in prison and some of them decided to do a hunger strike. >> that's correct, they were force fed. >> what impact did that have on the america's conscience? >> it ce

i'm from the woodrow wilson house. there was a collectives suck and sigh, and maybe one or two cases of whiplash. there was no oxygen left in the room. they turned to look to us to say, do you know where you are? what are you doing here? yes. who are these crazy women attending this meeting? hi said we are not crazy. we are passionate. we are passionate about telling stories. we are passionate about telling inclusive, diverse stories in this house. that is why it all formulated. it is my pleasure to have you here to start this with us. we are embarking on something we are very excited about. with that i will introduce you -- let's see. i am thrilled that karen is here. the woman's suffrage centennial commission was created by congress in 2017 to ensure suitable observance of the centennial of the passage and ratification of the 19th amendment to the constitution to provide for women's suffrage. it is led by susan collins, and a bipartisan group of women leaders. they have welcomed us, truly welcomed us and embraced us,

the woodrow wilson house in washington, d.c. hosted this as part of a series commemorating the 100th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote. >>> welcome. good evening. i'm the executive director here at the woodrow wilson house. and it is really truly my pleasure to well you to the first of a series of speaking events that we're going to have on a suffrage series. so the wilson house if you haven't been here before it's part of the national trust for historic preservation. wilson and his wifeedeth lived in this house and edith turned it over to the national trust upon her death and it's been lovingly cared for until tonight. i wanted to tell you about this speaker series. said to me this summer when i first started there is a commission on the suffrage and i think we should go to that meeting. it is the womens suffrage centennial commission, and i said, okay, i'm going to go with you. and so we went down to the library of congress and we sat at a big table and there were about 20 women in the room. it was a big square ta

what role did president woodrow wilson play in all of this? did he have a view?>> yes, he absolutely had a view. woodrow wilson, when he came to the white house in 1913 was not a supporter of women's suffrage. in fact, she tried to avoid the issue as much as possible. as time went on went on and would hurt the democratic party for a long time in the future. the suffragists led by alice paul we're the first citizens to protest in front of the white house, and they started in 1913. first, he was lukewarm in their presence. he would politely not at them when he would exit the north case of the white house and after the united states was involved in the war effort and the suffragists remained outside of the white house protesting, which are will soon became very angry. at a certain point in time, he ordered from the white house that they be removed. so the d.c. police started arresting women outside of the white house. as it ended up, 100 168 women were arrested outside the white house for the two years in which they protested in serve prison time in the d.c. jail or

you might think, what is the connection with woodrow wilson and harriet tubman? tonight we want to explore the life and work of harriet tubman. he's obviously one of the most famous women, people, african-americans in u.s. history. but we thought it would be interesting to explore one of her lesser known legacies which is her role not just for women's suffrage and supporting that movement but also for women's rights more broadly. we'll get into conversation about that. i'll start first, ms. hill, your mic should be on. most of us are familiar with harriet tubman, the leader of the underground railroad, the moses of her people who brought enslaved people from the south to the north seeking freedom and emancipated herself. but looking back to the women's suffrage movement and understanding that the seneca falls convention happened in 1848, harriet tubman was still enslaved in maryland. after the war, harriet tubman would aid the cause of women's suffrage with the very leaders who convened at seneca falls as well as with african-american women's clubs. so considerin

might have said about woodrow wilson. >> any bad things he might have said about woodrow wilson? >> he criticized wilson for preparedness, not having an army and navy up to speed, in case war came. he was also very critical of the wilson policy in mexico. where you have the revolutions overthrowing the diaz administration and the country devolves into chaos. if you see the movies, "viva via" or "viva zapata." you just see one revolution replacing another. wilson is very concerned that general guerta not impose another dictatorship in mexico. he sends marines into veracruz to block german arms shipments. there is -- there are these crazy incidents over will they come in, the flag flew here or not there. but the troops come, go. mexico gets worse and worse. and then you get the columbus, new mexico incident where pancho villa killed some american nationals. america sends the expeditionary force into mexico. that is another disaster. there is a lot to criticize about mexico. there's a lot of criticism about preparedness and the wilson administration. these are things that hughes pla

at first, woodrow wilson was lukewarm at their presence. tip his hat were exitely nod when he would the white house, but things changed when united states entered world war i, and the suffragist were still outside protesting, and woodrow wilson became very angry. he ordered that they be removed, so the d.c. police started arresting women outside of the white house. approximately, 168 women were arrested outside the white house for the two years in which they protested and served prison time, either in the d.c. jail or in the workhouse, 22 miles south of washington, d.c. host: prison for what? what was the charge? guest: it was obstructing traffic, and of course they were not obstructing traffic, they were standing on the whit sidewalk of the white house. they were acting on the orders to remove the women from the area outside the white house. they were not breaking any laws. they were exercising free speech. just because they could not vote at the time did not mean they were not citizens and did not have the right to free speech. host: and

role in the world or is woodrow shaping it janch shapishap shaping it? >> i need to emphasize, those ideas i described were original to him that he came up with them by himself and no one else saying, this is not the case as all. he reflected a fairly broad sensibility among americans, among american progressives as we would call them at the time. what makes wilson stand out is, of course, he had a great deal more power than any of these other individuals. particularly at that moment in 1919 when he comes to paris and as we see in the mural upstairs, he's at center of everything and the germans want an armistice and go to wilson not the british or french. his power distinguishes him rather than his ideas. he's the best to put the ideas into implementation. now, what hoover does is -- you know, it's kind of the difference between humanitarian aid and political change. so hoover is worried about revolution and he says, we'll feed these people and we'll stem the tide of revolution temporarily, but wilson is thinking, not saying that wilson is a better think

many of those men heard the word, and i have fought for reforms of follett and theodore roosevelt in woodrow roosevelt adopted and distorted the word "liberal." i believe forces of free enterprise must be regulated. i am opposed to business monopolies. i believe in the right of collective bargaining without any interference and the full protection of that obvious right. i believe in minimum standards for wages and maximum standards for hours, and believe such standards should constantly improve. i am in favor of the regulation of intrastate utilities and banking, of the security markets. i believe in federal pensions , in adequate old-age benefits, and in unemployment allowances. i believe the federal government owes a duty to adjust the position of the farmer with that of the manufacturer. if this cannot be done by parity prices, than some other method must be found without too much regimentation of the farmer's affairs. i believe in the encouragement of cooperative buying and selling, and in the full extension of rural electrification, and i believe the federal government owes a very stron

so this headline should be woodrow wilson inaugurated. he gets happen, and the other column says woman's beauty, grace and art bewilder the capital. miles of fluttering femininity present entrancing suffrage appeal. there's a photo of the tableau. this was not a particularly well planted story from the women's national party. this is how the men covered the parade without any guidance from the women. it's talking about how pretty it was, and by the way, there was some bad behavior. this is a much better example of "the chicago daily tribune." again woodrow wilson not the headline. this column here. mob at the capitol defy police, block suffrage parade. the most beautiful girls, it is terrific press. it is terrific press, but also look at the editorial cartoon. there is little pencil neck woodrow wilson thinking he gets the spotlight on the day of his inauguration but ta-da there's the suffragists stealing the spotlight from him. the 1913 march was sort of the turning point for the final push to actually get the amendment through congress.

into the house in 1917 and the house has come into special session because the president that night, woodrow

what tipped the scales for president woodrow wilson? why did he decide to reverse himself and supported? guest: woodrow wilson spent most of his life greatly opposed to the idea of women's suffrage. time and again, he expresses this. remember he has a whole career as the president of princeton. then he is governor of new jersey. then he is president. when he is president, again, alice paul has organized this unbelievably large, like a thousand women marching down pennsylvania avenue in march, 1913. the next day they ask for meeting at the white house and they bombard him for weeks and months and years afterward. he puts them off and says, you know i have never really thought about suffrage. or, i cannot do anything, because i have to wait for my party, the democratic party, to decide what to do. and he uses many, many excuses. what happens when america enters the world war, is there is a bit of a shift. partly, carrie chapman katz come the president of the national american association, the largest mainstream group, who is a pacifist he

so again, woodrow wilson not the headline. this column here, mobs of capital defy police and hoodlums hurl caustic remarks at the marchers and this paragraph down here the lead has 17 superlatives and the biggest crowd, the widest street, the angriest mob, the most beautiful girls. all through. and it is terrific press. but also look at the editorial cartoon. there is little pencil neck woodrow wilson thinking he gets the spotlight on the day of the inauguration, but ta-da, there is the suffragist sort of bright eyed, literally stealing the spotlight from him. so the 1913 march was sort of the turning point for the final push to actually get the amendment through congress. and in addition to being a great publicity ploy, it was a reintroduction of the federal amendment into the strategy. so i'll race through a little bit of political history. feel free to ask questions later because i'm going to go real fast. the original suffragists and you know their name, elizabeth katie stanton, lucy stone, they were abolitionists and they

in naples in 1917, woodrow wilson asked congress to declare war on germany. bob lafollettee was one of only six united states senators to oppose that war. he was concerned that only munitions makers, profiteers, would benefit from that as the people would suffer the loss of loved ones in the military. he was concerned that the government was not telling the people the full cost of the war. his principal concern was the suppression of civil liberties. in 1917, congress passed a bill called the espionage act. that bill didn't have anything to do with espionage. it was not about spying, it was about suppressing opposition to the war. newspapers could be shut down, and were shut down as a result of that. people were jailed for their criticism of the war, and bob lafollettee believed the bill of rights was not repealed because the united states was at war. an event on september 20, 1917 was a critical turning point for lafollettee. he gave a speech in st. paul minnesota, and at that meeting, bob lafollettee was critical of the war effort. he said, "we have grievan

the civilian government appealed to woodrow wilson. he publicly with an exchange of notes they came to an agreement. and the armistice was signed. the high command switched its tune and said we could have fought on, it was the civilian government that didn't want to fight on. they began saying that they're traitors at home, we could have fought on. and very, very ominously he began and others of his supporters began to use the canard that germany was stabbed in the back. they could have fought on if it hadn't been for the civilians who are out demonstrating against an increasingly futile war and those enemies who had stabbed germany in the back were the socialists, the liberals and the jews and this was going to become part of the political rhetoric of the 1920s and into the 1930s. if you don't think you've lost the war and that's increasing what german public opinion began to feel, you don't think the treaty is going to be fair. does anyone know someone who has gone to civil litigation in a court and has come out saying, the judge was

that spectacularly racist 1915 blockbuster film that woodrow wilson allowed to be screened in the whitehouse. speaking of woodrow wilson -- [ laughter ] -- perhaps he should have thought a little bit more carefully about his words on the evening of april the 2nd, 1917, as he issued a declaration of war against germany and we all know the words. in his 36-minute speech, he said the world must help democracy. we shall be satisfied when those rights have been made as secure as the faith and freedom of nations can make them. perhaps more than any other group, african-americans seized upon the hypocrisy of wilson's pledge and appropriated democracy as a rhetorical and ideological weapon in the cause of racial equality. by framing the war as a struggle over the future of global democracy, wilson created the ideological terrain for the emergence of the new negro in the united states and beyond. events in the summer of 1919 revealed that black people would face a war for their democratic rights and very humanity on american soil. before the first troops even set foot on french soil. july 2nd, 1

the president of course being woodrow wilson who had been elected in 1913 and who would carry out two terms as president, and he did not endorse the suffrage cause until 1919. so we have about -- at this point we're in 1915, and then in 1917 they start to picket the white house, and so there's two long years of picketing. every day these women would stand outside of the white house and hold their silent sentinel as they referred to by the press, and so they would leave their headquarters, which is across the lafayette square, which is situated right in front of the white house and so on the other side of lafayette square was the headquarters of the national women's party, and they would leave their headquarters with their banners in hand, carrying the colors of purple, white, and gold, which they had adopted purple into the suffrage colors, with alice paul's new group, the national women's party around 1913, and basically that was what they did for two years and stood their ground. they also included, you can see at the top there's college women, so they wearing their banners of which

the civilian government appealed to woodrow wilson. he publicly with an exchange of notes came to an agreement for an armistice. and the armistice was signed. the high command then switched its tune and said we could have fought on. the same ludendorf who had panicked said they were traitors at home, we could have fought on and very, very ominously he began and other of his supporters began to use that germany was stabbed in the back, it could have fought on if it hadn't been for the civilians and not just the civilian government but those out demonstrating against an increasingly futile war. and those enemies who had stabbed germany in the back were the socialists, the liberal and the jews, and this was going to become part of the political rhetoric of the 1920s and into the 1930s. so if you think you haven't lost the war then you don't think the treaty is going to be fair. does anyone know someone who's gone to civil litigation in a court and has come out saying the judge was absolutely fair, i lost. but it was right that i lost and

been woodrow declared war on germany. so many americans were disillusioned with what happened after that. and hitler, becoming belligerent in europe. in the road was one of those people who said, we've got friends once already we don't want to be involved again pretty so he argued for a very strict neutrality act. in keeping united states part of what looked like my becoming european work. and so on the way, he was a leader in the fight with franklin roosevelt as roosevelt was trying to engineer aid for great britain and for people would become our allies against hitler. and then, after the war in 1945, oregon the work vandenberg came forward and said things have to change. in effect, reversed his own position in said isolation was no longer possible to the u.s. as a global power. though we had to take leadership on the world stage or relinquish it to dark forces. and by making that shift in the last months of world war ii, he pulled a lot of american opinion with him and really hope to enable changes in america's right t

woodrow wilson was professorial.e together with his staff devised the idea of the press conference. they are not what we see today with the briefings and scrums that take place at the white house every day. they were rigid affairs, questions were submitted in writing and wilson answered the questions very formally. he got irritated with questions he did not like, and most importantly, all of the press conferences were off of the record. his manner was severe. the newspapermen had been used to a raucous, jovial atmosphere with roosevelt, who had of course come back into their life as a candidate for president in 1912, the year that wilson defeated him and william howard taft. the press liked roosevelt. one journalist gave a great description of what it was like to cover the white house from the roosevelt era to the wilson era, they said it was like going from a foundry full of activity to a convent, a cloistered atmosphere with everyone very quiet. wilson came from a long line of newspapermen. one of his grandfathers

he actually never met with woodrow wilson. didn't actually attend the proceedings, but envisioned the pan-african conference he organized as kind of a shadow congress if you will to make it clear that representatives needed to take seriously the concerns of people, especially as it related to germany's colonial territories and how they were going to be reappropriated, but also ensure that rights of african peoples in the former german territories would be respected. >> my question kind of refers back to two questions ago and it's the relationship with the french troops. here in the museum we have on display an artifact called the red hand insignia that members of the 93rd division got to wear, a french shoulder patch. could you shed some additional light on was that a common practice to allow african-american troops to wear such insignias. as i understand it, they were required to take that off as they must ired out of war? >> right the 93rd division was a provisional division. it was composed of national guardsmen, predominan

other hand were ardent zionists now the british were very suspicious of woodrow wilson although the united states had already entered the war and the british were also very suspicious of the huge amount of german and german immigrants in the end states and irish immigrants in the united states that were opposed to britain and the british empire so what they wanted to do was somehow get the united states to make sure the united states stayed on board in the 1st world world war and what that of course entailed was making sure that woodrow wilson's top advisers kept on pushing him giving him a goal or giving them a goal to fight for to the bitter end. and the other power the british wanted to keep happy was russian. the idea that the british thought most that many of the bolsheviks had jewish backgrounds behind trustees real name was bronstein after all and what the british thought once you scratch these people underneath the really jewish so therefore what we've got to do is we've got to give. then something that will a piece of them to make sure that they would stay in the war and fi
