This new premium HISTORY® Channel series, hosted and executive produced by President Bill Clinton, explores the American presidency and the struggle for a more perfect union through themed episodes: race, extremism, the struggle for rights, presidential vision and global power.
Commentary from renowned authors, historians and witnesses to history accompany each one-hour episode. From President Dwight Eisenhower ordering the 101st Airborne Division into Little Rock, Arkansas, to ensure the safety of the Little Rock Nine and President Lyndon B. Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965 into law to President Herbert Hoover’s “repatriation drives” that led to the mass expulsions of Mexican American citizens during the Great Depression and FDR’s executive orders that resulted in the internment of nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans, The American Presidency examines presidential actions that moved our country forward and tackles presidential decisions that further divided our country.
