Franklin Delano Roosevelt, One of America's Greatest Presidents 

Most historians place Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln as one of the top 3 U.S. Presidents. FDR was the only permanently disabled U.S. President ever elected and the only U.S. President elected to office four times, serving from . 1933 to 1945. FDR led the U.S. in his wheelchair through arguably the most severe crises of the 20th century, including the Great Depression and World War II. During an era when Fascism was in favor, FDR used his intelligence, uncanny political instinct, and social savvy to preserve and strengthen U.S. democracy and catapult the U.S. to the leading power in the world. Come learn about FDR's rise to the presidency and his years in the White House managing the Great Depression and World War II.
