Science Explains Why The Rich Are Calling Everyone Nazis

42. OT, but here's a prophetic Eleanor quote from Jan. 1934

She was speaking before the ninth annual Congress on the Cause and Cure of War:

“How deadly stupid we are that we can study history and live through what we live through, and complacently allow the same causes to put us through the same thing again!”

Later that same year in a speech that was broadcast nationally, she lashed out against racial discrimination. In addition, she personally (and relentlessly) lobbied her husband to publicly endorse the Wagner-Costigan Anti-Lynching Bill. And, of course, most famously, in 1939, when the Daughters of the American Revolution refused to let African-American contralto Marian Anderson perform at Constitution Hall, Eleanor publicly blasted the decision, resigned as a DAR member, and then arranged it so Anderson could give an open-air concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The result was an unforgettable performance and a watershed event in 20th century American civil rights history.
