No full textIn this letter dated February 21, 1921, President-elect Warren G. Harding writes to Adolphe Danziger, a Jewish scholar, lawyer and author, to thank him for the poem he wrote honoring Harding titled "Within the Storm."
This letter is part of the Warren G. Harding Papers (MSS 345). This collection includes correspondence, business records, and other materials documenting Harding’s business career as owner and editor-in-chief of The Daily Marion Star, as well as the various stages of his political career. A significant portion of the collection, and what’s available on Ohio Memory, highlights his 1920 presidential campaign, spanning just before publicly announcing his candidacy to handily defeating Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the election. Correspondents include both Ohio and national businessmen, political figures, and ordinary citizens writing with questions, support, congratulatory notes, and campaign advice. Some of the most interesting insights into the tumultuous political climate in the U.S., the extreme factionalism within the Republican Party in Ohio, and Harding’s campaign strategies are described in letters between Harding and his campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. Some of the topics addressed include women’s suffrage, Prohibition, the League of Nations, African American representation and issues, and lingering peace negotiations following World War I

Remembering Lee Metcalf
No full textAbstract
Montana\u27s Lee Metcalf was an extraordinary Montana leader with an unbelievable record of accomplishment fighting for the little people against the forces of economic and political power. The public memory is so short that this film will serve to help reacquaint Lee & Donna Metcalf to most of those who were around during their time. But it will also provide an opportunity for new generations to receive a perspective of an important leader from an important time. (Language from YouTube version of the film, written and provided by Executive Producer Evan Barrett)
Lee Warren Metcalf (January 28, 1911 – January 12, 1978) was an American lawyer, judge, and politician. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as a U.S. Representative (1953–1961) and a U.S. Senator (1961–1978) from Montana. He was permanent acting President pro tempore of the Senate, the only person to hold that position, from 1963 until his death in 1978.
U.S. House of Representatives
During his tenure in the House, Metcalf served on the Education and Labor Committee (1953–1959), Interior and Insular Affairs Committee (1955–1959), Select Astronautics and Space Exploration Committee (1958), and Ways and Means Committee (1959–1960). He became known as one of Congress\u27s Young Turks who promoted liberal domestic social legislation and reform of congressional procedures. He introduced legislation to provide health care to the elderly ten years before the creation of Medicare. He earned the nickname Mr. Education after sponsoring a comprehensive bill providing for federal aid to education. He also voted against legislation that would have raised grazing permits on federal lands, and led the opposition to a bill that would have swapped forested public lands for cutover private lands. He was elected chairman of the Democratic Study Group in 1959.
U. S. Senate
Regarded as a pioneer of the conservation movement , Metcalf worked to protect the natural environment and regulate utilities. He helped pass the Wilderness Act of 1964, and supported the creation of the Great Bear Wilderness and the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. In 1962, he introduced a Save Our Streams bill to preserve natural recreation facilities and protect fish and wildlife from being destroyed by highway construction. He was a longtime member of the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission. He was also active on the issue of education. He was a leading supporter of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the effort to extend the G.I. Bill\u27s educational benefits to a new generation of veterans, and the development of legislation to improve federally-aided vocational education.[1] The Peace Corps was established under leadership of Metcalf and Senator Mansfield. In 1983, by act of Congress, the Lee Metcalf Wilderness area was created in southwestern Montana in honor of the late Congressman. The Great Bear Wilderness and Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness areas were also created as a result of Metcalf\u27s efforts in Congress, in addition to the Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge in Montana. Metcalf was ranked number 15 on a list of the 100 Most Influential Montanans of the Century by the Missoulian newspaper.

Oral History Interview with Rueben C. Warren
No full textThis interview with Rueben Warren, DDS, DrPH, is part of “Moral Histories: Voices and Stories from the Founding Figures of Bioethics,” an oral history project of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. Dr. Warren is Dean Emeritus, School of Dentistry, Meharry Medical College and former Director of the National Center for Bioethics and Professor Emeritus of Bioethics at Tuskegee University. He also spent many years working at the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control. His expertise includes dental health, access to oral healthcare, public health, faith communities, and environmental justice. He is the author of over one hundred journal articles.
Dr. Warren discussed the close-knit community of his childhood in the Watts neighborhood of South Central Los Angeles and his higher education experiences at San Francisco State University, Meharry Medical College, Harvard University, and the Interdenominational Theological Center. He described being on the Tuskegee Syphilis Study Legacy Committee, the 1997 apology from President Bill Clinton, and the subsequent establishment of the National Center for Bioethics in Research and Healthcare at Tuskegee University. While director, he shared how he focused on engaging descendants of the U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study, established programming with Black church leaders, and developed a bioethics honors program. He described the need for institutions to prove their trustworthiness to gain community trust, particularly in healthcare settings.
He discussed working in the Office of Minority Health and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, where he investigated environmental harms and the disproportionate impact on low-income and minority communities. The Covid-19 pandemic occurred during his last years at Tuskegee and he shares that experience as why medical providers and bioethicists should examine the trustworthiness of institutions versus implicating vaccine-hesitant communities. The conversation ends with a comparison of the Human Genome Project to the work of the Diaspora Human Genomic Institute, emphasizing the importance of involving Black scientists and communities in data collection, preservation, and analysis
In the Spotlight: Leigh Metcalf: My Memories of Jussi
No full textLike many others of my generation, opera for me began with The Great Caruso, to which my parents took me shortly after its release. I particularly liked the trio that ended Act I of Il Trovatore, so I went to the library to check out my first opera recording, the one by RCA Victor. I liked Milanov\u27s voice, and I loved Warren\u27s, but Bjorling\u27s was something altogether different. Every time his voice entered, the hair on the back of my neck stood up, a lump formed in my throat, and tears came to my eyes. It had nothing to do with the words being said. It was the voice- the beauty, the purity, the perfection, the magnificence, the emotion, to say nothing of the incredible breath control and flawless technique, of that glorious, glorious voice. Over forty-five years later, his voice still has the same effect on me- every time

Mary Warren letter to Mrs. Bachman, October 4, 1914
No full textMary Warren wrote this letter to Mrs. Bachman on October 4, 1914, to describe the efforts of her and fellow activists to convince voters to support women's suffrage. She states that they couldn't make a strong enough impression on voters without additional help. She requested Mrs. Bachman's help in the form of sending literature that could help convince voters to support suffrage.
The Franklin County Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1912, after the Ohio Constitutional Convention elected to bring to a vote the question of removing the words "white male" from the state constitution with regard to voting rights. Headquartered in the Chamber of Commerce building in Columbus, Ohio, the organization put out regular publications, organized public speeches and meetings, distributed literature and held parades in support of the suffrage movement. Women's suffrage in Ohio was defeated in a special election in 1912 and again in 1914 and 1916 before a resolution narrowly passed in 1917 allowing municipal voting by women in Columbus. In 1920, the 19th Amendment passed, extending the vote to women and prohibiting state and federal government from denying suffrage on the basis of sex
