Our panel of guests look back at Washington’s profound impact on defining the office of the president. The panelists also discuss how campaigning, the election process and the role of the media affected early presidential candidacies, and how those influences have evolved.

Panelists include Joseph J. Ellis, the Ford Foundation Professor of History at Mount Holyoke College and award-winning author of the Pulitzer Prize winning Founding Brothers and the National Book Award winner for American Sphinx. He is joined by Cokie Roberts, author of the best-selling book Founding Mothers: The Women Who Raised Our Nation and Ladies of Liberty: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation, and John P. Riley, former historian at George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estates and Gardens and present director of education and scholarship programs at the White House Historical Association.


The DVD is provided free of charge by a generous partnership with George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate & Gardens.

Time: 60 minutes
