  2. This #AmericanArchivesMonth, join us in traveling back to 1962, when Newton Minow, then-chair of the FCC, sat down with Eleanor Roosevelt on "Prospects of Mankind" to discuss the future of television.

    In this insightful clip, Minow advocates for re-airing important programs, envisioning a future where reruns would expand access to knowledge for all.
