Masters of History XXII: American Presidents Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Richard Nixon, with Manfred Weidhorn
April 10, 2024 @ 2:45-4:00pm
This 3-session course revisits historic figures, showing that almost all are complex characters, with good and evil traits intertwined in varying proportions. Session #1: Teddy Roosevelt was a dynamo like no other POTUS, perhaps too much so for his own good. A Quaker, no less!  Manny looks at the broader context of what these famous figures meant in their time and ours, recounting their history and impact with analysis and humor. Professor emeritus of English, Yeshiva Univ, has published a dozen books and 100+ essays on historical figures, cultural history, and the relationship between religion and science.
