Summary

In the first of two programs, we explore the life and legacy of Edith Bolling Wilson, the second wife of President Woodrow Wilson, and we consider how she is remembered in her hometown of Wytheville, Virginia. Our guest is Dr. Adam Manuel from the Edith Bolling Wilson Birthplace Museum. This program includes a very rare recording of Edith's voice, from 1949.
