Warren the exhibit you are about to see, we started putting together shortly after the president died. The people in Bryan College station were really invested in it, the train came up here from houston. They were proud of the fact that the president and the first lady were buried here. A lot of that was incorporated into the exhibit. One of the first things you see is the lifesized statue of sully, president bushs service dog. At a ceremony a couple of months ago, we installed sully, and the reallife sully came to the ceremony. That dog is now at walter reed. The real iconic photo in the exhibit is of sully in front of president bushs casket. President bush got sully in june 2018, and he served for about six months until the president s death on november 30, 2018. So we have a picture of him as a puppy, and with president bush, and he did help president bush with everyday tasks and added quality to the last months of his life. The memorial exhibit itself, we have the flag that flew at

She was one of disneys first female animators, she was an actress, she was an illustrator. Everything about milicent patrick was larger than life. It has been the greatest honor of my life so far to tell her story. If you read the book, you know there are pictures in there because milicent lived a very visual, cinematic life. I have a treat for all of you. Ive got some photos that have never been seen before.

Also why we dont know her any longer. I would like to take you through her li
The movement dates from 1848 when a convention to consider the rights of women was held in new york. The committee adopting the list of womens wrongs found grievances against the government of men to be the same number that american had had against king george, it took George Washington six years to rectify mens grievances by law, but it took 72 years to establish womens rights by law. At least 1,000 legal amendments were necessary and every one was a struggle against ignorant opposition. Woman suffrage is a long story of hard work and heartache crowned by victory. Colleen shogan is vice chair of the womens Suffrage Centennial commission and White House Historical association joining us here in washington. Thank you so much for being with us.

It has been the greatest honor of my life so far to tell her story. If youve read the hard core version you know there are pictures in there. She lived a very visual, cinematic life. I have a treat. I have photos that have never been seen before. I have hundreds and hundreds of them i was not allowed by my publish tower put in because we could not fit 700 photos in the book.

Irish regiment. , a caricature of lincoln writing the emancipation proclamation, the lincoln family by Francis Bicknell carpenter, victor nehligs painting, an episode of war, and some prison art. Lets look at the relationship between war and art, harold. Does war stimulate arts in america, and did art change the romantic image of war . Harold i think both. Good evening. Thanks for having me back. I think the great emphasis of american painting to the civil war was probably landscape painting. Portrait caricatures took on a martial air with all the military heroes who were portrayed. But it sent many to the field, like the soldier artists. Artists like Winslow Homer went to the field to do sketches for the weekly newspapers and evolved into very successful artists. But in terms of what it did to landscaping, it totally revolutionized the romantic attitude artists had toward this socalled american eden, the pristine landscape of the americas. The landscape was ravaged by gunfire, and the
