Sharing His Experience
Roosevelt’s talk is part of the “Making Difference” lecture series sponsored by the Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy. In 2008, he released “Too Close to the Sun,” a memoir of his years spent growing up in the White House that discusses, among the fond memories, what life is like inside the cocoon of political fame, and is currently writing a new book on his White House years. He has also appeared in documentary films produced by the BBC, PBS and the History Channel about his famous grandparents..
The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will take place at Salve Regina University’s Young Building. Those interested in attending are asked to RSVP by Nov. 1 to [email protected] or by calling 341-2927.
