Thus the measure of our civilization will not be that we have done much, but what we have done with that much." — Teddy Roosevelt    Mind + Movement = Might > Roosevelt Home > American > Mind + Movement = Might The American University Roosevelt Institution held its launch event on Saturday, February 25, 2006 in the University Club. The AU Chapter's founding Administrative Board     *    *    *      With February already designated as Black History Month, the AU Chapter Launch was an additional celebration of progress: past, present & future. It commemorated the bold combination of individual minds – like those of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Nelson Mandela – and the inspiration of the Civil Rights and Anti-Apartheid movements they created and led.   These memorable combinations of minds and movements resulted in a display of the incredible strength that rests in all people and needs only to be awakened, prompting the launch event to name itself Mind + Movement = Might. Our Chapter Launch A Celebration Of Progress: Past, Present & Future Featuring: NICK EDWARDS Founder & Editor-in-Chief, The Internationalist PETER BEINART Editor-in-Chief, The New Republic   In addition to the editors-in-chief of these two remarkable magazines, the AU Chapter launch featured an appearance by Jesse Wolfson (Yale Chapter), the then Editor-in-Chief of the Roosevelt Review, as well as moving speeches by AU advisory board members Patrick Thaddeus Jackson, Ph.D. and Sarah Stiles, Ph.D. To view the entire album from the American University chapter launch, please click the image below:   The Roosevelt Institution is a nonpartisan, nonprofit national think tank devoted to bringing students' policy ideas to the policy process.
