What will he say?
Well, here’s what another president said when his library opened:
“Proverbially, old men plant trees even though they do not expect to see their fruition. Well, so it is with presidents. The doors of this library are open now, and all are welcome. The judgment of history is left to you, the people. I have no fears of that, for we have done our best, and so I say, come and learn from it.”
That was Ronald Reagan … November 4th, 1991 … And joined by fellow former presidents George Bush, Gerald Ford, Richard Nixon — and the Democrat he defeated in 1980, Jimmy Carter.
In the latest episode of C-SPAN’s podcast “Extreme Mortman,” we revisit 10 dedication and re-dedication ceremonies of presidential libraries – featuring best-of moments from each of them.
What do presidents say about their libraries?
What do presidents say about other presidents’ libraries?
And what do First Ladies say about their husbands’ libraries?
Find out in this week’s “Extreme Mortman” — the first of a special two-part episode. And we’re joined by a very special guest — presidential historian and author Dr. Tevi Troy.
