We read a biography of Eleanor Roosevelt which discussed her role as First Lady and the support she provided to support to her husband, Theodore Roosevelt, who had polio. Richard remembered that Teddy Roosevelt is honored on Mount Rushmore. We learned that Eleanor Roosevelt worked for the rights of women, African Americans, and other groups. We also read an excerpt from a primary source, which was a speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a document which she helped write, and noted that it lists basic rights that all people should have and that many are also found in the United States Bill of Rights, about which we learned in a previous class.
