 Dedication
We want to dedicate this album to President Franklin D. Roosevelt for all of his hard work during the Great
Depression. Franklin D. Roosevelt helped everyone- the poor, the middle class and the wealthy. He not only helped
the people during this devastating time but rather, he also helped improve the country by building infrastructure
and providing jobs for people. Franklin D. Roosevelt has proven to be a very a hardworking president, putting in a
lot of his time to help improve our country’s conditions. With such applauding policies, he was able to pull us out
from the rock bottom we had hit as a country. Thank you Franklin D. Roosevelt for being so courageous. Thank
you Franklin Roosevelt for supporting us in this catastrophe. Thank you Franklin D. Roosevelt for being
understanding towards everyone in country and helping everyone whether they were homeless or had lost their
jobs. The country could not have gotten out of this devastating time without you and your amazing policies.
 Advice

I wanted to bring equality, something we lack. If we look at each other differently jus because of our wealth, the
image of the future will be horrific. The upper classes were taking advantage of a large population of
immigrants. They had to work long hours with low wages. I wanted everyone to be equal because I looked at the
bigger picture, the future image. I saw a future with this continuation of inequality and so I wanted to create a
future with equality, an equal society that would work with each other to keep the community going. Also, I
want to see some real change such as an act or order to eliminate all these views in people being looked at as
unequals. The people in this world is never 100% going to show equality towards each other, and nothing can be
done about that but it's better to start somewhere, rather than never start.

- Huey Long , 1930
