When this story is over, I shall be back to talk with you about this great American whose life we were about to see. Born in Massachusetts of a stern Quaker ancestry in order to provide strong minded women. Precocious. Straitlaced. Susan B Anthony had to have cause. She fought for women's rights, for higher education for women, and helped lead the anti-slavery past year after year. She lectured, organized, lobbied and wrote fighting articles against the injustices and evils of our day and the fall elections of 1872. She registered and voted, claiming she had the right under the 14th Amendment. But she was arrested, tried, convicted of voting with no legal rights and fined $100, though she never laid aside her armor and her land. And though she lived to a great old age. Susan B Anthony died before her victory, crowned her work. Today, it is difficult for us to understand the bitter opposition to Susan B Anthony, but many of our causes have become the common places of our time, thanks in large part to Susan B Anthony. Women have the right to vote. A right which was not fully attained until the passage of the 19th Amendment in 19 120. Well, Oregonians, I am your United States Senator, Wayne Moore. Together, we are about to see some highlights in the life of a great American. This film is one of a series which the Encyclopedia Britannica has made it possible for me to bring to you increased knowledge of the lives of great American makes for a better understanding of our nation, our past, our present, and our future. When this story is over, I shall be back to talk with you about this great American whose life we were about to see. Benjamin Franklin was one of the sons of a revolutionary age and one of the fathers of much that became and is even today, commonplace in our life. It is hard to know where to begin and then to comment on this man for the variety of his interests and accomplishments makes him seem to be many man ed, inventor, scientist, philosopher, statesman, diplomat, friend of the people. As a senator, I have been interested in some of Franklin's approaches to the problems of government. He believed that good government depended upon good citizen. At the age of 16, he approached the problem of a citizen's responsibility with these words. It is undoubtedly the duty of all persons to serve the country they live in according to their ability. As a man of the world. He saw the play of selfish interest in the courts of Europe as he had seen it in the revolution, and his efforts to obtain money, arms, men and support for a young nation. This led him in later years to the belief that the people could not leave government to the persons with selfish interest. As a three time governor of Pennsylvania, he often told complaining constituents that if democracy did not function well, it was the fault of the citizen. Here was a grand old man, a true son of America whose busy life grew out of a great intellectual curiosity about things and people, but not modest to the land. He continued to find himself simply the Franklin printer. Fellow Oregonians, I am your United States Senator Wayne Moore.

This film is one of a series which the Encyclopedia Britannica has made it possible for me to bring to you increased knowledge of the lives of great American makes for a better understanding of our nation, our past, our present, and our future. When the story is over, I shall be back to talk with you about this great American whose life we are about to see. Alexander Hamilton was one of the very controversial figures of the American Revolution. Looking back, we can thank him for some things. In all our years of experience with democracy in action may lead us to feel his political attitudes on many things were narrow and damaging to a free people. He did, however, fight hard to secure a strong constitution. The colonies in his day were large. Be devoted to agriculture, and Hamilton didn't see the need to industrialize. This was the most significant aspect of his economic vision, but it was the same desire to see the colonies industrialized, to see the growth of manufacturing that led him to earn the enmity of some of the great Democrats of the revolution men such as Jefferson and Franklin. His desire for industrialization put him on the side of the businessmen who feared the power of the people. Hamilton believed that the people could not rule and could not be depended upon to govern themselves. If we have learned anything from history, from the views of both Hamilton and Jefferson, it is that the demand for freedom and for a better living are tied together. But we need not be fooled by reactionary propaganda today because we know that economic achievements are business big and small, and a higher standard of living can go hand in hand with democracy and a government that trust people as people, trust the government they put into office. Fellow Oregonians, I am your United States Senator Wayne Moore. Together, we are about to see some highlights in the life of a great American. This film is one of a series which the Encyclopedia Britannica has made it possible for me to bring to you. Increased knowledge of the lives of great Americans makes for a better understanding of our nation, our past, our present, and our future. When this story is over, I shall be back to talk with you about this great American whose life we are about to see. Probably no man in our history had more to do with the establishment of real democracy in the United States than Andrew Jackson. The arrival of Jackson in the White House in 1829 marked the day when the idea of a democracy became a reality. Before Jackson, our democratic government had grown out of the different viewpoints of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton had little faith in the average citizen and likened democracy to mob rule. Jefferson, on the other hand, had faith in the average citizen, and the principles of Jefferson were the ones that grew in our political life. More and more states came to grant the right to vote to all men without any property owning restrictions. Jackson came to the presidency during this process of universal suffrage. One of the things that we can learn from the Jackson era and our history is that this country will never stand for government in the hands of the privileged few. Whether our business, industry or finance. He showed that the interest of the small farmer, the landless, the tradesmen and the wage earner were just as important, perhaps in the long run more important than that of a large financial and business interest. Andrew Jackson's life holds a lesson for us today. Fellow Oregonians. I am here. United States Senator Wayne Moore. Together, we are about to see some highlights in the life of a great American. This film is one of a series which the Encyclopedia Britannica has made it possible for me to bring to you. Increased knowledge of the lives of great Americans makes for a better understanding of our nation, our past, our present, and our future. When this story is over, I shall be back to talk with you about this great American whose life we were about to see. It was Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States, and one of the truly great men and geniuses of our nation who started the expansion of the nation westward. We in modern Oregon all much too Jefferson or he was the man responsible for the Lewis and Clark expedition that started the opening of the West for this nation. It was a fitting thing indeed, that the addition of the land empire represented by the Louisiana Purchase should be accomplished by the man who wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence. Though Jefferson was the first governor of Virginia and an owner of slaves, he sought to exclude slavery forever from the colonies. His views were defeated on this issue by only one vote at the Constitutional Convention. Perhaps some of our problems today in the field of civil rights would not now be with it if Jefferson had won. Certainly we would have little trouble today if people only believed and lived the words of Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. The genius of Jefferson can be a living part if we use it in seeking answers to today's problem. I shall join you again in the review of the lives of other great American. Oregonians. I am here. United States Senator Wayne Marshall. Together, we are about to see some highlights in the life of a great American. This film is one of a series which the Encyclopedia Britannica has made it possible for me to bring to you increased knowledge of the lives of great American makes for a better understanding of our nation, our past, our present, and our future. When this story is over, I shall be back to talk with you about this great American whose life we are about to see. As you think about the Lewis and Clark expedition, it is hard to realize that only 150 years ago, our great Pacific Northwest was unknown to the United States of that day. It was Jefferson who had the great foresight and courage to make them a Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Then he supported the Lewis and Clark expedition, which charted and opened so much of the West and laid the groundwork for One Nation stretching from ocean to ocean. Sometimes members of the Senate forget their responsibility to represent the whole country as much as the states they represent. But the obligations of a senator, even more than a member of the House of Representatives, are to legislate for the entire nation. The whole cannot prosper without the prosperity of each part. But no section must dominate the whole. This year marks the sesquicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition. We in Oregon owe them a great deal. I have joined in introducing a bill to study the establishment of Fort Clatsop as a national monument, which was established originally by Lewis and Clark. We must keep alive the spirit of independence and enterprise that made the Lewis and Clark expedition a great feat not only of physical courage, but spiritual courage as well. I am here.

When this story is over, I shall be back to talk with you about this great American whose life we were about to see. For years as a citizen, as a teacher of law, and as a United States Senator, I have often quoted and more often paraphrased a definition of government by Lincoln that it is the role of government to do for the people what they cannot do for themselves and their individual capacity for what must be done in the public interest. This concept of government that Lincoln held is a yardstick we should apply today applied to many of the matters that come before us, both in the legislative and executive branches of government. It was this yardstick of the public interest that led government into creating the public power yardstick that led government to stimulate economic activity. In the dark days of the Depression. It was this yardstick of the public interest that has made necessary many governmental activities and actions in times of war and peace, then no less. Today is our national survival depended upon maintaining our prosperity. This requires design and intent instead of drift and hope. I mention these things because I want you all to really look at the Lincoln that saved the Union. I want you to judge his saying, his writing, his actions. Do not let any man, whether politician or layman, whether lawyer or law giver, whether he is an official or just efficient, use Lincoln to buttress a special interest organization or political party. Abraham Lincoln is truly a national hero and a civilian, saying his life can be a guide to us today, all Oregonians. I am your United States Senator Wayne Moore.

Many have said, with substantial evidence, to back them up that we owe our schools to Horace Mann. There were probably too many other pioneers in this field to give all the credit to the man, but he was the focal point of the movement for free education and greatly spread its realization. Today we accept the principle of free education as much as we accept government itself. Then it was called socialistic. Those who advocated it were often considered idle dreamer do gooder, our bleeding heart. We know now what education has done for us as a nation. We have made remarkable advances technologically as a result of the work of our scientists and engineers trained in public supported schools. We know much more about ourselves and our society. But the lessons of Horace Mann need to be brought home to us again. With growing enrollment, our school facilities are becoming more and more inadequate. The lessons of Horace Mann, therefore, are clear. We cannot afford the shark change or generations of school children with inadequate education. Nor can we afford to deny adequate living standards to conscientious teachers who stay at their posts despite low income. Horace Mann gave us the ideal of public education. It remains for us to make this a meaningful reality for the children and young people of today, all Oregonians. I am your United States Senator Wayne Morse.

When this story is over, I shall be back to talk with you about this great American whose life we are about to see. Born in slavery, yearning for education, Booker T Washington became the first president of Tuskegee Institute, but his own personal advancement is not the key factor of his life. The significance of Booker T. Washington lay in his pioneering and education for the Negro. His role in leading society out of the darkness of ignorance about the Negro capacity, the recognition of the basic dignity and worth of the American Negro was pressed early in the 19th century. By and large, it grew out of a realization that the. A Negro was a person and an individual was a soul in the eyes of God. John Woolman, Harriet Beecher Stowe and other abolitionists should be credited with ending the institution of human slavery. Even then, it took a civil war and one of America's greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln, finally, to bring it about with the historic Emancipation Proclamation. Nevertheless, many Americans were accustomed to thinking of the Negro as a slave. This fact makes the achievements of Booker T Washington immensely significant, or he demonstrated that the Negro was fully capable, if granted, equal opportunity. This he did not only by his own accomplishments, but also by helping other Negroes gain an education and contribute to society. The lessons learned from Booker T Washington demonstrate that we must end discrimination and limited opportunities for Negro. Democracy must not have second class citizens. Hello, Oregonians. I am your United States Senator, Grandma. Together, we are about to see some highlights in the life of a great American.

Makes for a better understanding of our nation, our past, our present, and our future. When this story is over, I shall be back to talk with you about this great American whose life we were about to see. We think of Washington as the first president and first commander in chief of the nation's army. First in war, first and peace first in the hearts of his countrymen is the phrase we all have learned about Washington. But in the field of government, Washington establish some first that we retain to this very day. FDR saw the need for a strong federal government to hold the nation together, to prevent quarrels between the states and to do things for all the states that individual states could not do for themselves. He was the first military man to be president. He saw the need for establishing and maintaining the separation of the military from civilian government. Our cabinet system of government was set up by Washington, or he saw that no one man alone could run the government. But along with the cabinet system, he set the precedent of presidential responsibility. A president that has not always been maintained by some of his successors to the presidency. After 11 years in the United States Senate, I know the importance of reminding ourselves of the ideals of the leaders of the American Revolution. That they not be taken away from us today, either by selfish interests, technological changes, or apathy and cynicism ourselves. I hope you have enjoyed this historical reminder of what we all owe to George Washington.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2300/collection_resources/141317/file/261273#t=7.1,1249.78"}]},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2300/collection_resources/141317/file/261273/transcript/76197","type":"AnnotationPage","label":{"en":["English [Transcript]"]},"items":[{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2300/collection_resources/141317/file/261273/transcript/76197/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"subtitling","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"https://d9jk7wjtjpu5g.cloudfront.net/file_transcripts/associated_files/000/076/197/original/trint_001-24-678_transcript.vtt?1740082240","format":"text/vtt","language":"en"},"target":"https://d9jk7wjtjpu5g.cloudfront.net/file_transcripts/associated_files/000/076/197/original/trint_001-24-678_transcript.vtt?1740082240"}]}]}]}
