🎥 Remembering the First Ladies | Anita McBride at the Barnum Museum In this inspiring conversation, Barnum Museum Executive Director Kathleen Maher welcomes former White House Chief of Staff Anita McBride for a dynamic discussion about her book Remembering the First Ladies and the often-overlooked influence of presidential spouses throughout American history.
