I chose Eleanor Roosevelt for my NHD Project because I am interested in the 1930's and 1940's. Also, Eleanor Roosevelt is an inspirational figure to me.
Eleanor Roosevelt is important because without her efforts, we might not have a United Nations. Also, she paved the way for other women to get involved in politics. Also, being a first lady, it is likely that she had influence on FDR's policies. She also helped write the draft of the Universial Declaration of Human Rights. Mrs. Roosevelt also helped arrange Marian Anderson, an African American, to to perform at the Lincoln Memorial.
Fr this this week's research, I found a book about Mrs. Roosevelt. I will read and summarize it for next week.
