http://www.cah.utexas.edu/photojournalism/about.php
The American people get to know their presidents from pictures. We follow the person holding the highest office in the land through televised speeches, grip-and-grin photo ops with world leaders, and candid shots snapped during both serious and light moments. Pictures connect us to the people making decisions on behalf of the nation. Photojournalism and the American Presidency examines the powerful relationship between the almighty camera lens and the office of the president. These enduring images have shaped what we think of the American presidency and the select few who hold that office. On March 28, 2003, Dirck Halstead, David Hume Kennerly, Wally McNamee and Diana Walker presented their work as part of the annual Littlefield Society Symposium on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. Together their images have made the covers of Time and Newsweek more than 185 times. In addition to enjoying all the top honors of their profession, these photojournalists share something else in common: they are all philanthropists. By donating their archives to the Center for American History, each has ensured that future generations of Americans can see history in the making.

Presidential Temperament
Excerpted from Presidential Temperament , by David Keirsey and Ray Choiniere
The year 1912 was a presidential election year, and former President Theodore Roosevelt was again campaigning for the nation's highest office. By the evening of October 14 his campaign had carried him to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he was to deliver a speech in the city's public auditorium.The time was nearing for him to speak, so he strode from his hotel onto the sidewalk outside, where a car was waiting to take him to the auditorium. As Roosevelt walked toward the car a man suddenly stepped up to him and pointed a pistol at his heart. The gunman pulled the trigger and a bullet burst from the pistol and smashed its way into Roosevelt's chest. His shirt was suddenly spattered with red, and more blood immediately began seeping from the ugly hole. The bullet had come to rest against his rib cage, a mere half inch from his lungs. "He pinked me!" shouted Roosevelt, as bystanders rushed to subdue the gunman, John Shrank. They wrestled Shrank to the ground and then, seeing Roosevelt's bloody clothing, prepared to rush him to the hospital. But they found Teddy Roosevelt a more difficult man to deal with than the would-be assassin. "TR" adamantly refused to go for help. "You just stay where you are!" he thundered. "I am going to make this speech and you might as well compose yourself."

Chapter Eight
Presidency of Ronald Reagan (22/22)
Previous Page By giving Ronald Reagan an overwhelming election victory, the American public had expressed a desire for change in the style of the nation's leadership. Crises such as the taking of American hostages by Iran-and the failure of an attempt to rescue them-had contributed to a general perception that the Carter Administration was caught by events rather than directing them. In July 1979 President Carter failed to dispel that perception when he spoke to the nation about its "crisis of confidence" concerning the future. By contrast, Reaganas a campaigner and as Presidentexuded full-speed-ahead confidence in the United States, himself and his own conservative world view. Throughout his Presidency, he demonstrated the ability to instill in Americans pride for their country and a sense of optimism about the future. Several dramatic events during the first few months of the Reagan Presidency seemed to validate this new spirit. Within minutes of his taking the oath of office on January 21, 1981, following arduous negotiations by the outgoing Carter Administration, the remaining 52 American hostages in Iran were released and returned to a tumultuous national welcome. In March, Reagan survived an assassination attempt, and a month later, the United States successfully launched the first orbital flight of the reusable space shuttle Columbia, initiating a new era in space operations.

Chapter Eight
Jimmy Carter's presidency (21/22)
Previous Page Next Page For the 1994 version of an Outline of American History this section was completely revised: click here for that version. Jimmy Carter was a new face on the American political horizon. Rising from relative obscurity to the Presidency during a two-year campaign characterized by its hard work and attention to detail, Jimmy Carter excited a large portion of the electorate. Carter seemed to appeal to those outside of the mainstream of American politics, asking them in countless speeches and gatherings, to send an "outsider" to Washington. Carter's religious beliefs also struck a responsive chord in large numbers of Americans. Other American leaders have felt deep religious convictions, but none had ever before been so successful in integrating those beliefs into a political program. This moral approach was refreshing to many, although others tended to distrust a politician who claimed he would "never tell a lie."

How should presidential historians compare the era to other periods in American history? How important are Presidents as individualsas opposed to the executive branch as a wholein understanding the policies of their administrations? How did the development of the Cold War affect the presidency as an institution? Why did the modern era feature three PresidentsNixon, Reagan, and Clintonwho operated under threats of impeachment? How important are the newly released sourcesespecially the secret tapes of Kennedy, Nixon, and Johnsonin understanding the presidency? We will address these exciting questions and more this spring!

Plan of Attack In its final report last summer, the 9/11 Commission recounted the failures of the Clinton and Bush administrations to confront terrorist threats. Timothy Naftali's new book adds historical depth to that critique by tracing the development of U.S. counterterrorism policy since the end of World War II. Like the commission, Naftali a diplomatic historian at the University of Virginia who worked as a consultant to the panel focuses mainly on external threats to the United States and wonders whether the attacks of September 11, 2001, could have been prevented. But as an academic, he can more readily blame top policymakers and government agencies than the commissioners could. What others have termed failures of intelligence, he calls failures of policy.

Teaching American History and Civic Education All Americans must have a complete understanding of our history to be effective and engaged citizens in our democratic society. Yet according to the U.S. Department of Education's National Assessment of Education Progress study, which tracks both Civics and American History understanding among K-12 students, less than one quarter of America's students are proficient in either subject. On September 17, 2002, President George W. Bush observed the 215th anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution by announcing new policies and initiatives to support the teaching of American History and Civics and provide Americans with greater access to some of our country’s national treasures. To illustrate the good work being done as part of the President’s initiative, USA Freedom Corps is highlighting the Civics and American History projects offered by the Administration’s agencies and programs. Together, we are working to keep the foundation of our great Nation strong.

Stagg, University of Virginia Biography: A Life in Brief Like his close friend Thomas Jefferson, James Madison came from a prosperous family of Virginia planters, received an excellent education, studied law though only informally and quickly found himself drawn into the debates over independence. In 1776, he became a delegate to the revolutionary Virginia Convention, where he worked closely with Thomas Jefferson to push through religious freedom statutes, among other liberal measures. The youngest member of the Continental Congress, Madison was of smaller than average height for a Virginian of the period; reports have him standing either five feet four or five feet six inches tall. His soft-spoken, shy demeanor was a foil for his brilliant persistence in advocating his political agenda. Madison emerged as a respected leader of the Congress, known for his hard work and careful preparation.
