Viewing of the History Channel's The Presidents Documentary

On Monday, February 16th in honor of Presidents' Day, we will be kicking off the viewing of a documentary series produced by the History Channel. The viewing will take place in Plassman 305 at 7PM. The series is entitled The Presidents: The Lives and Legacies of the 43 Leaders of the United States. The History Channel describes the series:

"The office is one of the hallmarks of the American experiment, open to any native-born citizen over the age of 35. The men who have inhabited it have been heroes and villains, visionaries and scoundrels, towering figures and seeming afterthoughts.
This epic, eight-part series illuminates the legendary leaders and forgotten placeholders in a 215-year history of THE PRESIDENTS. Here is the story of Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase and Reagan's Revolution, of the Battle of the Petticoats and the machinations of Rutherford Hayes, the two presidential dynasties and the near-treasonous James Buchanan administration. Filled with visits to presidential archives and commentary from leading scholars, this is an ambitious, encyclopedic look at the leaders who have shaped our nation, for better and worse."

The documentary is split up into 8 parts, each lasting around 45 minutes. On February 16th, we will be watching the first two parts. We will continue to watch the rest of the series on the subsequent Mondays in February and early March. Please let me know if you have any questions.
