Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of "Leadership in Turbulent Times," spoke to Yahoo News about FDR’s defining leadership moment : the bank holiday he declared almost immediately upon taking office in 1933, in the hope that doing so would stem the run on the banks and help stabilize the financial system. Aired on Sept. 8, 2018.
