“Being a citizen puts you in the arena. You’re not allowed to be a critic. You’re not allowed to be in the mezzanine if you’re a citizen.” Ambassador @RahmEmanuel joins Ted Roosevelt V on the new episode of Good Citizen. The former White House Chief of Staff, congressman, Chicago mayor and ambassador to Japan sat down during the grand opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library to talk about citizenship, what he heard on a bike ride across New Hampshire, and why people want to be seen and heard.

#OTD 5 November 1902. The Roosevelts move back into a White House that isn't finished. The Evening Star reported the improvements "still incomplete" — but enough space done to house the family. The lower floor was still a building site. trlibrary.com/tr/homes-and-p…

#OTD 4 November 1878. TR, eight days past his twentieth birthday, decides to audit his own week: "Am going to give an accurate abstract of my doings this week, as a sampl." 7.45 prayers. Study, lunch, study, walk. Dinner with the University Crew. trlibrary.com/tr/early-life/…

#OTD 3 November 1903. The President went home to Oyster Bay to vote — up one flight of stairs over a laundry, into the worst booth in the hall, ballot No. 82. The Tribune: "the President was cheered by Republicans and Democrats alike, along the route." trlibrary.com/tr/presidency

#OTD 2 November 1886. TR finishes third in the New York mayoral race. That night he wires Lodge, who has just won his seat in Congress. The whole wire: "Am more delighted than I can say. Do come on Thursday. Am badly defeated. Worse even than I feared." trlibrary.com/tr/new-york-po…

Reconstruction remade the Constitution. How do you teach that? Join the National Constitution Center (@ConstitutionCtr) and the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library for “Reconstruction and the Second Founding,” a free virtual professional learning session for educators. Professor Kermit Roosevelt III of the University of Pennsylvania will examine how the Reconstruction Amendments reshaped constitutional protections for freedom and equality, and redefined the relationship between individuals, the states, and the federal government. The NCC education team will then share classroom-ready resources and civil dialogue strategies to help students take on this pivotal period. Design for teachers; open to all. 📅 Wednesday, November 4 🕡 6:30–8 PM ET | 4:30–6 PM MT 💻 Virtual Register at ow.ly/i6z15102wTP #TeachingHistory #Reconstruction #CivicsEducation #ConstitutionalHistory #TeacherPD

30 October 1912. Sixteen days after being shot, TR came back to the stump at Madison Square Garden. The Sun: the watches of the men timing the ovation "measured 41 minutes and 30 seconds." He made no effort to use his right hand at all. trlibrary.com/tr/post-presid…

29 October 1900. Riding to a meeting in Elmira, Governor Roosevelt was pelted with sticks, eggs and vegetables. One stick struck his hat. He sat still. Afterward, one sentence: "It was nasty conduct, the conduct of hoodlums." trlibrary.com/tr/rise-to-pow…
