On this episode of Newt's world in his new book Teddy and Booker T how two American icons

blazed a path for racial equality.

New York Times best-selling author and Fox News Channel host Brian Kilmead draws a spotlight

on how two wildly different Americans bore immense responsibility in the time of the Jim Crow South.

It was 1901, and President Theodore Roosevelt welcomed the country's most visible black man, civil rights activist and educator,

Booker T. Washington, into his circle of counselors.

That fall, Washington accepted the president's handwritten invitation to dinner,

an event that marked a moment of shared admiration

between two American icons

amid serious racial disunity in the south.

The promises of the Emancipation Proclamation united them.

And what happened afterwards would define their relationship and the state of the nation.

Here to talk about his new book, I am really pleased to welcome

back my guest Brian Kilmead. He is a Fox News Channel television anchor, co-host of the Channel's

morning show Fox and Friends, and host to the Channel's Morning Show, Fox and Friends,

and host to the Daily National Radio Show,

the Brian Kilmead Show.

He's also the author of six New York Times best-selling books,

and I'm talking with him about his latest one,

Teddy and Booker T, how two American icons plays the path for racial equality. Brian welcome and thank you for joining me again on Neutrworld.

I can't wait to get started because I remember mentioning to you the title and the project and you always have a foundation of all my projects before I go in, I usually get people saying

I never knew that or I didn't know anything about that.
