Vice President Theodore Roosevelt addresses the opening of the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, on May 20, 1901. Roosevelt makes a point of directing some of his remarks to those attending from Canada and to the republics of Latin America, and he emphasizes that he believes in the Monroe Doctrine. In addressing his fellow Americans, Roosevelt notes that the rapid industrial development underway will produce benefits and many problems, and he stresses that the nation’s citizens will need virtue and hard work to overcome them.
A photograph of the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site and a painting of Roosevelt as the Colonel of the Rough Riders accompany the speech.
