Seeds of Change: Eleanor Roosevelt and the Movement
By engaging with the African American community in a way the President would not, Eleanor Roosevelt helped bring Black voices into the White House and the Administration in ways that profoundly impacted civil rights at home and human rights internationally. This segment of the FDR Library’s Seeds of Change series introduces Mrs. Roosevelt’s role in the movement.
This is the second of five short films on civil rights the FDR Library will release this year, created from interviews with our expert advisory panel for the Special Exhibit: Black Americans, Civil Rights, and the Roosevelts 1932-1962.
