Entitled: "Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt today addressed a Workers Alliance conference, the National Right To Work Congress, and in a 20 minute address, wildly cheered by delegates, told them: 'There are some people who are talking about the piling up of debts that our grandchildren must pay. I know other ways also in which we are piling up debts that our grandchildren will pay. these are the underfed children.' Washington, D.C. June 7, 1939." She said that providing jobs for the nations youth is essential to the future of democratic government. Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (October 11, 1884 - November 7, 1962) was an American politician. She was the longest serving First Lady of the United States, holding the post from March 1933 to April 1945 during her husband's four terms in office. She married her fifth cousin once removed, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in 1905. After discovering Franklin's affair with Lucy Mercer in 1918, she resolved to seek fulfillment in a public life of her own. She persuaded Franklin to stay in politics following his partial paralysis from polio, and began to give speeches and campaign in his place. She was a controversial First Lady for her outspokenness, particularly her stance on racial issues. She was the first presidential spouse to hold press conferences, write a syndicated newspaper column, and speak at a national convention. She advocated for expanded roles for women in the workplace, the civil rights of African-Americans and Asian-Americans, and the rights of World War II refugees. Following her husband's death, she remained active in politics for the rest of her life. President Truman called her the "First Lady of the World" in tribute to her human rights achievements. She died of cardiac failure in 1962, at the age of 78. In 1999, she was ranked in the top ten of Gallup's List of Most Widely Admired People of the 20th Century.
