i think you least have heard of theodore roosevelt. so one or two pieces of information that kind of get our minds going on that direction. yeah, delanie like the man the pants may eyeglasses. yes. they look weird to us. it wouldn't look weird to his friends. but yes, okay pants the eyeglasses. yeah, andy. a lot about because conservation like this. yeah of the national park. yeah, we'll talk about that. so someone who really believed in conserving america's wildlife and beauty also hunted a lot as their contradiction there we can we can talk about that. yeah. anything else? yeah, okay. president i'm starting with the industrial revolution and i was starting to keep her off. oh, yeah at the same time. we've been talking about with the carnegies and rockefellers the first decade of the 20th century at the time of tr's presidency. yeah, great. okay, so we know a little bit about him. he is not his fifth cousin franklin roosevelt in the new deal world war two. that'll come in a few weeks. this is the first and the greater maybe roosevelt

job of digitizing 70,000 records from the archive of theodore roosevelt. and we helped facilitate a grant through the rob and melanie walton foundation of $10 million to the theater roosevelt center to continue that tremendous work. working in partnership with them. and for the museum itself, it just affords us an incredible opportunity to think about the digital native experience from the start. our platform is leadership, citizenship, and conservation. our goal is to bring people, yes, to western north dakota to get out into nature. to experience theodore roosevelt national park. to go to the cradle of conservation. maybe we'll get several hundred thousand, or several million, 3 million at mount rushmore, 4 million at yellowstone. there is an audience that we can reach their. but there's seven billion people on the planet. we think of this as a pilgrimage and a platform. the platform is where we think we can take leadership, citizenship, and conservation as a much wider message. i will give this example, think of this as a conservation library. kind of w

we want people to learn not just about but from theodore roosevelt's example. take that out to the digital world. take them pieces of the great story, so they can take their version of the story. tell their story through this example. >> i love that idea because if you think about learning today, students, or even me i was a visual learner. to be able to create something where they can put something into their world. how does that relate to who they are at every level? i love that you can do that. find a student in every classroom they can walk the classroom through and have that dialogue. i think in a digital world, i think it is much more available. dr. pew, in your world. have you thought about these ideas? how to bring more individuals into you that experience. >> this is what i think about every day. yeah, so one of the things that this conversation brings up is the issue that we all face whether we are engage with digital tool technologies it is building digital literacy skills. that is one of the areas that i emphasize both in my teaching, and my outreac

welcome every one to today's lecture on theodore roosevelt. a pivotal figure in american presidency. certainly one of the most colorful and dynamic figures to ever occupy that office. to understand roosevelt's contribution as the first great presidential leader of reform, and to appreciate how transformative his actions were, we need first to examine briefly the social, economic and cultural environment in which he lived. born in new york in 1858, roosevelt grew up in an era of rapid and vast growth in america as the nation expanded dramatically in terms of population, and above all, wealth. the booming economy of that age was aided by the advent of inventions, it was after all the age of edison. and by the development of huge corporations, often growing to monopolistic proportions. all underwritten philosophically by the prevailing popularity of social darwinism. adherence to that philosophy, that is applying darwin's tenets of biological natural selection, that is survival of the fittest, to the world of economics, business, and society in g

today we are looking at the life and career of theodore roosevelt. not the last time we will come back to him in this class. this is specifically geared toward him. this life does fit the theme of the gilded age progressive area very well is. also part of my area of research. taylor is primarily a teaching institution. all faculty are doing research on their own, as time permits. for me, i finished writing a book last year on the religious life of theodore roosevelt. this is a time for me to get to actually talk about some things i specialized in recently. this is some of the background of what we are looking at here. again, start with questions along the way, as appropriate. let me ask you want to start with. this is simply, i want to know any background information you might know about theodore roosevelt. he is not rather furred behaves, he may not have heard of before. i think you have heard of roosevelt. one or two pieces of information to get our minds going in that direction. yeah, go ahead. [inaudible] the pant in a eyeglasses. it didn't look

twitter did not exist during theodore roosevelt's age. we would not be building a presidential site that i think i would say tooth quick things. i mean on fundraising since we're a presidential site that is not yet in existence. we have had to think a lot about security relative to the very many mains many many ways that people want to donate now from yeah, i mean venmode paypal to crypto. yeah. i mean if you want to be successful in modern fundraising at a presidential site or maybe in general, i think you have to be sort of prepared like a presidential campaign where you have bundlers who are probably bringing in the bulk of your actual fundraising, but if you don't have popular support, you're not a popular, right? and and so the means of by which people can donate and the ease with which they can and that has to be lockjaw secure. yeah, because that is their data that is their financial information and that is the trust that you are building with them as an organization, you know, and i think in terms of the publicity side of it, you

doi think there are lessons to be drawn from theodore roosevelt. also drawn for us as a people, to remind us that we've been through really difficult times before. it feels like such a cascading series of crises right now, but think of what it was like the turn of the century. industrial resolution has shaken up the energy like globalization and tech today. you had a gap between the rich and poor. you had people suspicious of people in the city. people were afraid of the change of pace in life. there were bombings in the streets. democracy was seen to be in peril. what theodore roosevelt was able to do was to cut through the fact that people in different parts of the country, he said, were feeling that people in the other parts of the country or other sections, other parties were the other rather than as common american citizens. the same thing we're feeling today. so he cut through with fundamental fairness, a square deal for the rich and the poor, the capitalist and the wage worker. he went around the country on a train for nine weeks in the spri

many people including theodore roosevelt during his presidency would refer to washington lincoln and grant as the three great presidents now, that is not somebody who for in on the centennial of his birth would have been held in disrepute but still greatly respected. i'm glad to see the monument restored. i'm glad to see grants reputation being reviewed. nobody is perfect. and grant certainly would have understood that he wasn't perfect either. but as we look in a different view at the lost cause narrative of the civil war as we look at a different way of the importance of reconstruction as we look at the sadness and the wilson administration where the federal workforce is resegregated we have reason to think about grant in a way that these great historians have presented what i think is a much more appropriate story of grant and so here we are at a at a restored monument at a time when president grant is being viewed in a way that general grant was generally always viewed. i'm glad to see those things happen. i'm certainly glad to be here with you today. and wagner sherrod brown and

theodore roosevelt was one who really did take up all of the air and the room when he came in. his daughter alice, who had some of this in herself and knew her father very well said, if you want to understand my father you have to remember that he has to be the bride every wedding and the corpse at every funeral. this is theodore roosevelt, the odd thing is, it maybe this is not so odd considering that personality but roosevelt could not appreciate jokes told at his expense. roosevelt himself did not tell jokes but most presidents eventually would get to the point where they would learn to laugh when people made jokes about them. that was the easiest way to deal with it, roosevelt had to train himself to do this. theodore roosevelt considered his most important accomplishment as president to be getting the panama canal under construction. this was his contribution to world history, but to get it going he basically had to make a revolution in panel to break it free of columbia. under international law or even normal clothes of ethics it was highly problematic. roosevelt convened

theodore roosevelt did everything he could to be ready for that moment. >> theodore roosevelt is born into privilege and great wealth. >> a very sickly child. so he had to put up his dukes and fight. >> roosevelt saw himself as the embodiment of america. >> he was exemplar of this life. >> he suffers loss, he suffers grief. >> here is a man who had everything. education, wealth, opportunities. >> but he felt all of that must be used to help the lives of the unfortunate. >> fairness, justice, equity is what drove him. >> you know, doris, tr is a man for all seasons. he's cited by presidents on both sides of the aisle. one of great challenges he faced was the deep divisions in terms of wealth and inequality that ultimately broke through in the progressive era, which he helped form. what was the secret to him being a catalytic leader at that moment? >> i think the most important thing about teddy roosevelt was the country, just as you say, was incredibly divided. the people in the east felt set off from people in the west. people in the country were suspicious of people in the city. ther

[laughter] and so this is the theodore roosevelt. odd thing is, and maybe this isn't so odd, given that sort of personality, but roosevelt, roosevelt could not appreciate jokes told at his expense. he never -- ayman roosevelt himself didn't tell jokes. but most presidents eventually would get to the point where they would learn to laugh when people made jokes about them because that was the easiest way of dealing with them. roosevelt had to train himself to do this. there was one moment when roosevelt -- theodore roosevelt considered his most important accomplishment as president to be getting the panama canal under construction. this was his contribution to world history, he said. well, to get it going, roosevelt essentially had to foment a revolution in panama to break panama free of columbia. and under international law, or even ordinary codes off ethics, it was highly problematic. but roosevelt convened a cabinet session to basically convince everybody in the cabinet that he had done the right thing. and so after he gave this lon

roosevelt? i'm not actually sure very much about her. attitudes towards him because he had brother ambivalent record on black rights as you know, he roosevelt was a difficult character to navigate because he favored booker t washington. so wells is really close to douglas working closely with him on these protests. he's willing to support her and she actually helps him start speaking out against lynching for the first time a whole lynching for rape narrative had made it very difficult for black men to be able to protest against lynching because it seems self-serving and so wells gave him ammunition to be able to attack it from different directions. and so she seemed like she could be the logical heir apparent to douglas when he dies in 1895, but instead that's the year that we have booker t washington's famous atlantic compromise speech the columbian ex the cotton states exposition speech where he encourages black southerners and white southerners to cast down their bucket where they are that we

edith roosevelt for example provided a space where theodore roosevelt could meet together with booker t, washington that was not something it could have happened. just anywhere in washington dc, you know so that space that first ladies and first families in general have provided for gathering americans across the political divide as has been a crucial part of it. i think that's why in historical historians solidarity with dr. algo there unofficially the unofficial sphere is such an important term rather than i know political science and soft power, but that unofficial sphere is integral to the what the first lady has always done even down to today. so changes. well, there's a there are many changes and we can talk more about these but it has to do with the growth of a gender expectations the growth of women's activity in the world as we move through the century the civil war. it makes changes women's war work and then as we get towards the gilded age and moving into the progressive era that's sort of work that women do in the world. to move out of their domestic sphere which was the s
