Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, played a pivotal role in shaping the world during World War II and beyond. His leadership and diplomacy were evident at the Yalta Conference of Allied leaders in February 1945, where he strategized with other world powers to secure victory against Nazi Germany. In Washington DC, a monument stands tall as a tribute to FDR's legacy. This grand structure serves as a reminder of his remarkable presidency and his unwavering commitment to democracy. Similarly, Hyde Park in New York holds significance as it was once home to this influential leader. Captured in black-and-white photographs are moments that showcase Franklin Roosevelt's charismatic personality and strong alliances. One such image depicts him alongside General John Pershing on Armistice Day in 1936, symbolizing their shared dedication to peace after World War I. Another photograph captures President Roosevelt with King George VI and Queen Elizabeth during their visit to Washington DC in 1939. FDR's oratory skills were legendary; he captivated audiences with his speeches that inspired hope and resilience during challenging times. A powerful image shows him addressing the Eighth American Scientific Congress held in Washington DC in 1940. Beyond politics, Franklin Roosevelt also connected with people on a personal level. He received the First Buddy Poppy at the White House in 1938—an honor bestowed upon him by veterans—highlighting his compassion for those who served their country selflessly. The Southern U. S. , particularly Louisiana, witnessed significant social changes during FDR's era—a time captured through Marion Post Wolcott's lens. Her photographs depict scenes from everyday life like an interior shot of a Chinese laundry located beneath an apartment building owned by Mrs. Ella. Gordon Parks' photography further reveals societal realities under FDR's administration: an intimate portrait of Johnnie Lew—the owner of another Chinese laundry—and glimpses into houses being wrecked on Independence Avenue in Washington DC, 1942.
