    Stewart Udall and the Politics of Beauty A documentary film We need your help to make a feature length film designed for Public Television broadcast profiling political leader Stewart Udall, who left a profound legacy of conservation and environmental justice as Secretary of the Interior during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. More importantly perhaps, Udall called on all Americans to move away from our emphasis on economic growth and consumerism and toward quality of life, and a new politics centered on beauty, frugal living, appreciation of nature and the arts, and a recognition of the Earth’s limits. This film will be widely used by activists and in the classroom to inspire environmental stewardship, social justice and the less polarized approach to politics that Udall successfully pursued. We hope this power point will give you a sense of the film, and the quality of our advisors and production team. Udall’s story offers an example of courage and visionary thought that will move many Americans to reflection and action. Who Was Stewart Udall? Stewart Udall was America’s Interior Secretary during the Kennedy/Johnson administrations. He successfully advocated for the creation of many national parks and monuments. He led the way for most of the environmental legislation we now take for granted, including: • The Clean Air and Water and Wilderness Acts, Wild and Scenic Rivers and National Trails Acts • The Land and Water Conservation Fund • Pesticide Reduction, Mining Reclamation • Endangered Species protection, Gas Mileage requirements, rapid transit systems… Stewart Udall’s Fight for Racial Justice Fought successfully to end Jim Crow era segregation at the University of Arizona.

  • Breaking the Phoenix Gender Barrier in 1969
    NO ONE KNEW WHAT TO EXPECT: Breaking the Phoenix Gender Barrier in 1969 The Honorable Mary M. Schroeder 1968 was not a good year for the world, for the United States, or for my husband, Milt, and me. The Vietnam War and public reactions to it were going so badly that in March, President Lyndon Johnson announced he would not stand for re-election in the fall. In April, Martin Luther King was gunned down in Memphis, sparking nation-wide riots including unrest in our Capitol Hill neighborhood in Washington, D.C. The ruckus drove Milt and me out of our little house at 8½ E Street Southeast and into the Virginia countryside while military units descended on Washington to keep order. Things became even worse when, in June, our great hope for the future, Bobby Kennedy, was shot in Los Angeles in a hotel kitchen, and died a few days later. That summer, the Democrats held a fiasco rather than a convention in Chicago, and in November, Richard Nixon was elected President of the United States. By Christmas of 1968, Milt and I had tentatively decided to move so that he could go into law school teaching. Our decision became firm in January 1969, when a number of what appeared to be highly unqualified men took over the top slots in the Department of Justice, where I was a trial attorney in the Civil Division. They tried to reform the Department by making it more like the private sector. One “innovation” was to have all Justice Department attorneys keep time records like lawyers in private practice.
