|
NOW WE GO LIVE TO THE HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY PAVILION. THE EDITOR OF THE "WASHINGTON POST" BOOK WORLD... |
| 00:13:46 |
|
I WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW THAT HAPPENED. MUCH OF THE RESEARCH WAS DONE AT LIBRARY OF CONGRESS. A WONDERFUL... |
| 00:29:08 |
|
I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD TALK OF THE BIT ABOUT HOW FRANCES PERKINS IN AN ERA WHEN THERE WERE ESSENTIALLY... |
| 00:29:31 |
|
COULD EVERYONE HERE THE QUESTION? OKAY. IT IS A REALLY GOOD QUESTION. A THINK THAT IS PART OF WHAT... |
| 00:30:56 |
|
COULD YOU EXPAND A LITTLE MORE ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FRANCES PERKINS AND AT THE ART FDR? |
| 00:31:09 |
|
FRANCES PERKINS WAS FDR'S CLOSEST FRIENDS. IT'S FUNNY. A LOT OF OTHER MEN PLAYED POKER. THESE MEN... |
| 00:32:13 |
|
WERE THERE ANY INITIATIVES, PROGRESSIVE INITIATIVES THAT FDR PUSHED BACK ON OUR DID NOT FULLY IMPLEMENT?... |
| 00:32:20 |
|
THAT IS A REALLY GOOD QUESTION. THE DEBATE IS RAGING RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK. FRANCES PERKINS PRESENTED... |
| 00:34:11 |
|
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I AM GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR HAVING DONE THAT. JUST A MINOR SUGGESTION. THE WORKING... |
| 00:34:40 |
|
FRANCES PERKINS WAS A VERY DEVOUT CHRISTIAN. SHE WAS AN EPISCOPALIAN. ENORMOUSLY DEEP EMPATHY. SHE... |
| 00:35:57 |
|
RELATIONS WITH ORGANIZED LABOR, THE UNIONS, AND THAT. |
| 00:36:03 |
|
THE FASCINATING RELATION. THEY WERE MAD AS HELL WHEN SHE WAS MADE SECRETARY OF LABOR. MOST UNIONS... |
| 00:37:22 |
|
GOOD MORNING. YOU MENTIONED SHE WAS A STRONG SUPPORTER OF THE WPA. I AM WONDERING IF SHE HAD FRIENDSHIPS... |
| 00:37:38 |

| 00:38:22 |

|
I'M SORRY. |
| 00:38:37 |
|
WHAT WAS HER TOP PRIORITY. |
| 00:38:39 |
|
ENACTING SOCIAL SECURITY. THAT WAS HER BIGGEST SINGLE SOURCE OF PRIDE IN HER ENTIRE. SHE FELT IT WAS... |
| 00:38:56 |
|
COULD YOU COMMENT ON HER RELATIONSHIP TO ELEANOR ROOSEVELT? |
| 00:39:02 |
|
OF VERY INTERESTING, COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP. THEY BOTH SHARED THE AFFECTION OF FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT... |
| 00:40:02 |
