"Awakening the Spirit of America" with Paul M. Sparrow

Archivist’s Reception Room

In person and online

The Archivist of the United States, Dr. Colleen Shogan, will join Paul M. Sparrow, the former director of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, in a conversation about his recent book, Awakening the Spirit of America. The book chronicles how President Roosevelt, with the prospect of a war with Germany looming, faced adversaries from within the United States, particularly famed aviator Charles A. Lindbergh, and preserved what he termed “the spirit of America.”
