A: Art and the history of our country examined

"A New President Takes Command" is the new exhibit at The New-York Historical Society located at 170 Central Park West between 76th and 77th Street. This new exhibit examines the first 100 days of Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term in the White House. The exhibit avoids comparisons between the early stages of FDR's presidency and the expectations surrounding the new administration. Instead it consists of items selected from the permanent collection of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, located in Hyde Park in Dutchess County. Last spring, that museum launched its own FDR exhibition, titled "Action, and Action Now: FDR's First 100 Days." The exhibit runs through next fall. The exhibit at the New-York Historical Society runs through May 3rd. Also on display: Nation at the Crossroads: The Great New York Debate over the Constitution, 1787-88 until January 25th, Grant and Lee in War and Peace through March 29th, If Elected: The Game of American Politics closing January 11th.

In this unique time in the history of our country, we need to re-visit where we came from and that is a F.A.C.T.
