From White House Historical Association

In 2014, McLaurin became President of the White House Historical Association (WHHA), a private, non‑profit founded in 1961 by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy to preserve and share the White House’s history. Under his leadership, the Association has expanded its cultural and educational programming, including award‑winning books, video series, and virtual/in‑person events.

Stewart is the host of The White House 1600 Sessions, the Association’s official audio and video podcast devoted to exploring the history and untold stories of America’s most iconic residence and highest office. He is a member of the USA Today Board of Contributors and writes a monthly column about the history of the White House and our nation’s presidents and first ladies.
