Current special exhibit, rightfully hers, american women and the vote. Our partners are here tonight and we thank them for their support. Our special exhibit, rightfully hers, tells the story of the woman struggle for Voting Rights. Women activists had to win allies among men in influential positions.

Thank you all for coming today and staying for the full day and for this final panel. Im brian catoulus for the center for American Progress. Every day it seems like president Trumps National security approach seems like a daily train wreck across the board and on iran, in particular, it feels like a train wreck. But lets be clear.

Today and staying for the full day and for this final panel. Im with the center for American Progress. I know every day it seems like president Trumps National security approach seems like a daily train wreck across the board, and on iran in particular it feels like a train wreck. But lets be clear, we are where we are today on iran by no accident. What President Trump is implementing right now is an approach which is erratic, its confused, but its the product of a very concerted effort to undermine what i thought was very important work done under the Obama Administration to try to stabilize the middle east. And many of the people in the room here were part of that, either inside of the government or outside. We have a great panel which john has already introduced and im not going to go through the bios and things like that.
