 | "FDR: His Vision, Our Freedoms, Still Alive" on exhibit at Ingram Library, February 11 - March 8 (Multi-Day Event)
All Day
The University of West Georgia’s Ingram Library will host the national exhibit “FDR: His Vision, Our Freedoms, Still Alive,” which highlights President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s leadership through the Great Depression and World War II and the enduring achievements of his administration.
The exhibit will be on display in the Ingram Library from February 11 through March 8. It is free and open to the public.
The exhibit combines historic photographs, documents, cartoons, and posters from the collection of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, New York, to tell the story of the president who led the United States during two of the gravest crises in its history. Roosevelt’s presidency successfully combated the Great Depression, reducing unemployment by half. In the process, it dramatically enlarged the scope of the federal government. Under Roosevelt’s leadership, victory was gained in World War II and the United States emerged from that conflict as the world’s greatest power. The exhibit chronicles Roosevelt’s style of presidential leadership, major New Deal programs, his role as commander-in-chief during World War II, and his commitment to progressive ideals.
The exhibit will also include a display of objects which highlight President Roosevelt’s lengthy residence at The Little White House in Warm Springs, Georgia. Roosevelt first came to Warm Springs in 1924 for treatment for the infantile paralysis (polio) which had struck him three years earlier. Later, he purchased land and built a home there which came to be called “The Little White House.” FDR traveled to Warm Springs repeatedly during his presidency. He died at The Little White House on April 12, 1945.
As part of the exhibition, Ingram Library is also sponsoring a talk by Allan M. Winkler, Professor of History at Miami University in Ohio and author of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Making of Modern America. He will speak on Thursday, February 21, at 7:00 p.m. at Ingram Library. Special public parking will be available in the Townsend Center gated lot, beginning at 6:00 p.m.
“FDR: His Vision, Our Freedoms, Still Alive” is a traveling exhibition developed by the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum and is presented by Ingram Library’s Penelope Melson Society. The project is supported by the Georgia Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities and through appropriations from the Georgia General Assembly. Funding is provided, as well, by the Carroll EMC Foundation.

Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, New York, to tell the story of the president who led the United States during two of the gravest crises in its history. Roosevelt’s presidency successfully combated the Great Depression, reducing unemployment by half. In the process, it dramatically enlarged the scope of the federal government. Under Roosevelt’s leadership, victory was gained in World War II and the United States emerged from that conflict as the world’s greatest power. The exhibit chronicles Roosevelt’s style of presidential leadership, major New Deal programs, his role as commander-in-chief during World War II, and his commitment to progressive ideals.
The exhibit will also include a display of objects which highlight President Roosevelt’s lengthy residence at The Little White House in Warm Springs, Georgia. Roosevelt first came to Warm Springs in 1924 for treatment for the infantile paralysis (polio) which had struck him three years earlier. Later, he purchased land and built a home there which came to be called “The Little White House.” FDR traveled to Warm Springs repeatedly during his presidency. He died at The Little White House on April 12, 1945.
As part of the exhibition, Ingram Library is also sponsoring a talk by Allan M. Winkler, Professor of History at Miami University in Ohio and author of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Making of Modern America. He will speak on Thursday, February 21, at 7:00 p.m. at Ingram Library. Special public parking will be available in the Townsend Center gated lot, beginning at 6:00 p.m.
“FDR: His Vision, Our Freedoms, Still Alive” is a traveling exhibition developed by the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum and is presented by Ingram Library’s Penelope Melson Society. The project is supported by the Georgia Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities and through appropriations from the Georgia General Assembly. Funding is provided, as well, by the Carroll EMC Foundation.

| | "FDR: His Vision, Our Freedoms, Still Alive" on exhibit at Ingram Library, February 11 - March 8 (Multi-Day Event)
All Day
The University of West Georgia’s Ingram Library will host the national exhibit “FDR: His Vision, Our Freedoms, Still Alive,” which highlights President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s leadership through the Great Depression and World War II and the enduring achievements of his administration.
The exhibit will be on display in the Ingram Library from February 11 through March 8. It is free and open to the public.
The exhibit combines historic photographs, documents, cartoons, and posters from the collection of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, New York, to tell the story of the president who led the United States during two of the gravest crises in its history. Roosevelt’s presidency successfully combated the Great Depression, reducing unemployment by half. In the process, it dramatically enlarged the scope of the federal government. Under Roosevelt’s leadership, victory was gained in World War II and the United States emerged from that conflict as the world’s greatest power. The exhibit chronicles Roosevelt’s style of presidential leadership, major New Deal programs, his role as commander-in-chief during World War II, and his commitment to progressive ideals.
The exhibit will also include a display of objects which highlight President Roosevelt’s lengthy residence at The Little White House in Warm Springs, Georgia. Roosevelt first came to Warm Springs in 1924 for treatment for the infantile paralysis (polio) which had struck him three years earlier. Later, he purchased land and built a home there which came to be called “The Little White House.” FDR traveled to Warm Springs repeatedly during his presidency. He died at The Little White House on April 12, 1945.
As part of the exhibition, Ingram Library is also sponsoring a talk by Allan M. Winkler, Professor of History at Miami University in Ohio and author of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Making of Modern America. He will speak on Thursday, February 21, at 7:00 p.m. at Ingram Library. Special public parking will be available in the Townsend Center gated lot, beginning at 6:00 p.m.
“FDR: His Vision, Our Freedoms, Still Alive” is a traveling exhibition developed by the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum and is presented by Ingram Library’s Penelope Melson Society. The project is supported by the Georgia Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities and through appropriations from the Georgia General Assembly. Funding is provided, as well, by the Carroll EMC Foundation.

 | State of the African American Male
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
National data and data collected by the University System of Georgia indicate college enrollments of minority males, particularly African-American males, are increasing. Retention, progression, and graduation (RPG) rates for African-American males are up, and are important to the Complete College Georgia initiative. However, there is still a need to
better understand issues affecting college completion rates of African-American male students at UWG. The goal of this panel discussion is to continue the dialogue about issues affecting African-American males, and what we can do to continue positively influencing their RPG rates.
