Of women. This event was hosted by the Radcliffe Institute for advanced study at harvard and the john f. Kennedy president ial library. Its about half an hour. Hi. Hi. Its a pleasure to be here today to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the report issued by the president ial commission on the status of women and its an honor to be here not at the Kennedy Library but with the Kennedy Library and with its wonderful volunteers today. Beyond that, for me, its an honor to have a conversation with professor black who really knows so much about my great grandmother Eleanor Roosevelt and can tell us more of the official side of her work for women. For me, i know a little bit more of the personal side. One story id like to share with you just as an anecdote before we get into the conversation is something my aunt told me that as a young girl growing up, grandmere which is what we affectionately call eleanor in our family, took her aside and said to her, its really important that you are involve
This was not the case. She only said it to the women in their family. Sure. So id like to learn a little bit more today about how she took that work public and, first of all, how eleanors work really spurred the president ial commission and how she worked to make it a reality. Well, the film indicated, shall we say, confrontational relationship that Eleanor Roosevelt had with jack kennedy. And she really did not campaign for the president at all until october 1960 because she insisted that he change his civil rights stance and that he publicly discuss mccarthy, and so she and Adam Clayton Powell and Herbert Lehman had a big conference in new york at the baptist church.

And president kennedy against the advice of his advisers goes and meets with her, and she gives him the recommendations. And that

Its really important that you run for Political Office and that you always work to make peoples lives better. And she thought that this was something that she must be saying to all of the cousins. And onl
The daytoday of the Fenty Campaign and that was the current mayor the time and he was the main opponent of vincent gray who was chairman at the time. So it covered the normal campaign. I was interested in watching fentys downfall. Everyone saw it coming. And it was my job. Shortly after gray took office, i heard from the gentleman suleimon brown, who had run for mayor. He had a job in the administration, which was odd. The next thing you knew, he was fired. Then he was calling and saying do you want to talk . Next thing you knew, he disclosed serious corruption about being paid during the campaign to disparage fenty on the campaign trail. Then there is a federal investigation where they learned that there was something much bigger going on which they called the Shadow Campaign. And that was a parallel operation to the Gray Campaign that was done in secret that was not reported, and it was 650,000. Which is nothing to sneeze at. Allegedly, Jeffrey Thompson was the sole funder. You have
