Commemorating Wilson in an Age of Racial Reckoning

PROGRAM
OVERVIEW
"To commemorate" means "to remember together." How should we collectively remember a past that has left so many different legacies for different people? How should we remember a figure like Woodrow Wilson, whose legacy is both internally inconsistent and publicly contested? Can we find a way to explore and discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly in our past when we don't always agree on the meaning of those terms? Must we try? Join representatives from the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library in Staunton, Virginia, the President Wilson House in Washington, DC, and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars - the official presidential memorial to Wilson - as they discuss how their organizations are wrestling with these questions in an age of reckoning.

With Elizabeth A Karcher, Robin von Seldeneck, and Trygve Throntveit.

Consistent with its mission as a national memorial to the 28th U.S. president, the Wilson Center’s History and Public Policy Program is launching “Woodrow Wilson - Then and Now," a new series of scholarly conversations exploring the significant and complicated legacies of the man and his presidency for our own day. Moderated by Trygve Throntveit, Global Fellow for History and Public Policy, the series will be a platform for an inclusive and critical discussion of Wilson’s biography, his White House tenure and his longterm impact on US foreign and domestic politics.

The second woman to talk definitely has a green screened background. lol.
You can hear from her microphone sound she's in, like, a closet or something. And look at that statue. hahaha!

The lamentation in his voice about Wilson is palpable. I don't agree with much of Wilson's thought, his "legacy." I'm sure to a certain degree his international vision was based on noble, if misguided, beliefs, , and I'm not a social justice retard, meaning I can look past his racist beliefs to evaluate things beyond that, but this guy really regrets dedicating his professional career to WIlson. hahah!
