Saturday Webinars: American Minds - REGISTER HERE During the 2019-20 school year we will revisit a general theme – the individual – we’ve studied in past series, like American Presidents. This time, however, we are excluding presidents and instead broadening our scope to include individuals who have had significant impact on our culture, society, and government through literature, reform leadership, science, religion, and war, as well as politics. Our American Minds webinar series will help you integrate a broader selection of individuals into your history and government courses, and will also provide English teachers with an easy avenue to consider some literary icons from a historical perspective. Each program is 75 minutes long and airs on select Saturdays at 11am ET. Jonathan Edwards – 17 AUG 19 Benjamin Franklin – 7 SEP 19 Alexander Hamilton – 5 OCT 19 Henry Clay – 2 NOV 19 Harriet Beecher Stowe – 7 DEC 19 Frederick Douglass – 11 JAN 20 William Jennings Bryan – 1 FEB 20 Jane Addams – 7 MAR 20 Douglas Ma

The second of TAH.org's Great American Debates webinar series took place on Saturday, 8 September. Our episode focused on the Federalist-Antifederalist Debates that took place most obviously from late 1787 through 1788, when the Constitution was being considered for ratification throughout the 13 states. Our program took a serious look at the ideas of both sides, considering them as ideas expressed and debated at the time, and looking at how some of these issues have been alive as points of contention throughout American history. For more information about the "out of doors" debates over the Constitution, take a look at our Ratification of the Constitution exhibit.

In this month's episode of Documents in Detail, TAH faculty members discussed the meaning, context around, and importance of Franklin Roosevelt's 1933 State of the Union address, famous for its full-throated defense of FDR's vision for a reformed America, what he called a "second" Bill of Rights, and how he worked with his political allies and adversaries to frame, present, and even sometimes misrepresent, his foreign and domestic policies. An ever-complicated man, FDR's motives are often difficult to discern, although papers such as the 1944 SOTU offer a clear sense of his understanding of what America ought to be.
