BLACK AMERICANS, CIVIL RIGHTS, AND THE ROOSEVELTS, 1932-1962
A powerful and important special exhibit opens at the FDR Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, NY: BLACK AMERICANS, CIVIL RIGHTS, AND THE ROOSEVELTS, 1932-1962. The exhibit offers critical perspectives on, and candid assessments of, the administration’s policies and practices, and of the Roosevelts themselves.
FDR Library Director William Harris kicked off the the live broadcast on June 3rd with the words:
“It’s the government’s responsibility to ensure that this evidence… of our history and the decisions that got us to where we are right now is preserved, and available for everybody… we are deeply committed to that work here at this library.”
When the NY Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado stood at the podium, he thanked the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum “…for this commitment to ensuring this institution reflects the full breadth of US history and the American experience.”
Dean and I are grateful and appreciative of being a even a small part of the incredible work being done at the library. BLACK AMERICANS, CIVIL RIGHTS, AND THE ROOSEVELTS, 1932-1962 is available through December 31, 2024.
At Home with the Roosevelts video series launched during the pandemic to reach audiences that could no longer visit the presidential library in person. Once the pandemic ended, we rebranded the series calling it The Roosevelt Story.
