"I think we're feeling hope again, because we're talking old values and making them new again. And by giving them new life, they're giving us new life." President Reagan speaking to a group of young Americans #OnThisDay in 1984.

"The jobs of [school] principal and president are somewhat alike...you have unruly children...and I have, well, I'd better not name names." President Reagan speaking to a group of educators #OnThisDay in 1984.

On August 26, 1984, President Ronald Reagan honored the legacy of women on the 64th anniversary of women's suffrage. His speech celebrated the growing presence of women in the workforce and their role in shaping America.

"American businesspeople are, based on my experience, the most law-abiding and the most moral of any business community that I've been exposed to." It was an honor to host Wilbur Ross, who served as U.S. Secretary of Commerce under former President Donald Trump. In conversation with our President and CEO, David Trulio, Secretary Ross reflected on his humble beginnings and early experiences in business, his storied 55-year career on Wall Street, and his political journey as a 1980s Democrat who came to admire Ronald Reagan. His book, "Risks and Returns: Creating Success in Business and Life," releases September 10. Watch the full conversation here ➡ https://lnkd.in/ehMGh6h2

Words To Live By: The Republican National Convention In August 1984, President Ronald Reagan accepted the presidential nomination, viewing the 1984 election as crucial for preserving his achievements and addressing his goals of cutting the deficit and balancing the budget. Despite ongoing economic expansion, President Reagan aimed to further stimulate the economy by simplifying the tax system and reducing government waste to create a smaller, less intrusive government. This week's "Words To Live By" revisits Ronald Reagan's remarks during his nomination acceptance in Dallas, Texas, highlighting his objectives and views on his opponent, Walter Mondale. References to San Francisco are included, reflecting the location of the Democratic convention earlier that year. Due to length, the speech has been edited, but the full version is available on our YouTube channel. #RonaldReagan #WordsToLiveBy #History
