Professor Beverly Gage continues her examination of early twentieth century America in this Yale lecture, tracing a path from Theodore Roosevelt's use of the presidential bully pulpit through Woodrow Wilson's administration and into the First World War. The lecture covers the Progressive movement's efforts to address the power of money and corporate concentration in American politics and society. Recorded in Yale's Battell Chapel as part of the DeVane Lecture series America at 250: A History, the class is part of a one time course surveying United States history from 1776 to the present across lectures by three Yale historians, following directly from the prior class on immigration and national identity.
