This week, a lecture about Theodore Roosevelt's life and political career, including his rise in New York politics, his presidency, and his international explorations, post-presidency.

Washington was a Republican.

Washington spoke for a segment of the black population in the United States,

and Roosevelt valued him as a political consultant.

But when word leaked out that the president had sat down as an equal, basically,

The White South exploded in rage.

Coming up, more with Taylor University professor, Benjamin Wetzel.

His life does fit the themes of the Gilded Age progressive era very well, and it's also part of my area of research.

So Taylor is primarily a teaching institution, but all of your faculty are doing research on their own as time permits.

And for me, I've finished writing a book last year on the religious life of Theodore Roosevelt.
