Short Film Premiere: "Seeds Of Change: Eleanor Roosevelt and the Movement." The second of five short films we're releasing this year as part of our special exhibit: "Black Americans, Civil Rights, and the Roosevelts."
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.
