In her book she argues that President Franklin Roosevelt, unwilling to antagonize southern Democrats, was reluctant to propose or support civil rights legislation. Instead, Professor Sklaroff contends, FDR supported black artists, writers, celebrities, and intellectuals through New Deal federal arts programs. She argues that these programs provided some progress, but African Americans did not experience significant changes until the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. She was interviewed at the 102nd annual meeting of the Organization of American Historians, held Wednesday, April 7 to Saturday, April 10, 2010, at the Hilton Washington. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/293026-2 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/293026-2 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:00:00 GMT Jeff Shesol recalls Franklin Roosevelt's confrontation with the U.S. Supreme Court over objections to vital elements of his New Deal legislation.
