See Silverlight version of this item » About this item        

President Franklin Roosevelt (1882–1945) tried to rouse support for an aggressive foreign policy in his January 1, 1941, Four Freedoms speech before Congress. Roosevelts four proposed universal freedoms were freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. This photograph shows the president looking at a World War II propaganda poster by artist Howard Chandler Christy (1873–1952) that links the Bill of Rights with Roosevelts proposed freedoms.
