TR to the Rescue – Again! with John Williams sponsored by Joint Relief Institute, Jerry Haggerty Chevy

This won’t be the first time John Williams and WGN Radio have invited Teddy Roosevelt to share his stories and insight with us. But it may be the best! If ever Chicago and Illinois and the USA needed someone who is good, smart, solid, dependable, independent, reliable, honest, candid, funny, well-read, rough ridin’, shootin’, tootin’- okay, you get the idea – it’s now. The stories you will hear are true, heartfelt, sometimes hilarious and hard to believe. And the insight will be important.

“Jenkinson will be discussing German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) and his memorable 1805 visit with Thomas Jefferson. Humboldt took a long detour in his journey from Mexico to Europe to spend a few days with Jefferson, then serving his second term as President of the United States. The visit took place precisely at the time Lewis and Clark were exploring Montana and Idaho on the president's behalf, and Humboldt's encounters with Jefferson are revealing and delightful.”

“Humanities scholar and writer Clay Jenkinson brings Jefferson to life in his portrayal of the third president with such authenticity that the audience may forget that Mr. Jefferson is not actually standing in front of them.

“The program will focus on Jefferson’s life and accomplishments, but the audience will have the opportunity to ask Mr. Jefferson questions as well on any subject, an experience that will give everyone a new appreciation of history and our Founding Fathers in a truly inspirational, educational and entertaining way.”

“Historian, author, and humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson considers four questions: What happened in Philadelphia between May and September 1787? What are the various ways in which the Constitution has been interpreted (broad versus strict construction, originalism, textualism, structuralism, pragmatism)? What problems or inadequacies have the 27 amendments attempted to address? And what principles or clauses of the Constitution are in need of clarification or reform nearly 250 years after the ‘miracle in Philadelphia’?”

“Author and humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson considers the controversial issues surrounding the book—ones that are not unique to Huck Finn. Should we retire the novel permanently? Should we silently alter that taboo word to something less offensive? Should we continue to teach the book, but with plenty of disclaimers, context, and warnings? And what would be lost when a work of literature—one that chronicles the triumph of an improbable friendship that transcends law and race—disappears?”
