Section 2 : Eleanor Roosevelt

Activity 1

1. Eleanor Roosevelt had many qualities which facilitated her impact on society. Inspired by Marie
Souvestre, Eleanor Roosevelt always had a dream to inspire others through hands on learning.
After she left the White House in 1945, Eleanor Roosevelt continued to promote women's
equality through her work not only with the League, but also with groups like the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the National Council of Negro
Women (NCNW). She invited people from all walks of life, social workers, union leaders and
writers to. When President Franklin D. Roosevelt came down with polio, she became eyes and
ears for him, a trusted and tireless reporter. Eleanor also had a method of motivating people
through inspirational quotes. For example, she once said, “The future belongs to those who
believe in the beauty of their dreams.”. Eleanor worked for political causes almost all of her life,
trying to do her good deed for American society. With her endurance, inspirational sayings, and
through women’s suffrage movements, she has left a mark on the people of today. Because of
Eleanor Roosevelt, women are allowed to vote now, and people of any race are able to enjoy
freedom and work in any profession they like, in the United States of America.

2. When Franklin became governor of New York in 1929, Eleanor found an opportunity to combine
the responsibilities of a political hostess with her own burgeoning career and personal
independence. She continued to teach at Todhunter, a girls’ school in Manhattan that she and
two friends had purchased, making several trips a week back and forth between Albany and
New York City. With this opportunity she doesn’t have to do the tedious job of official politician
wife anymore and could go and get her dreams come true.

3. Eleanor survived an orphaned and loveless childhood, a faithless husband and domineering
mother-in-law, and emerged as an independent personality only after her husband was felled by
polio in 1921. Her need to serve so long as Franklin’s eyes and ears transformed the shy Eleanor
into an autonomous public leader. It was a triumphant process that reached full flower after she
was widowed in 1945 and that was sustained through worldwide acclaim until her death
in 1962.

4. Roosevelt became First Lady of the United States when Franklin was inaugurated on March 4,
1933. Having known all of the twentieth century's previous First Ladies, she was seriously
depressed at having to assume the role, which had traditionally been restricted to domesticity
and hostessing. Her immediate predecessor, Lou Henry Hoover, had ended her feminist activism
on becoming First Lady, stating her intention to be only a "backdrop for Bertie". Eleanor's
distress at these precedents was severe enough that Hickok subtitled her biography of
Roosevelt "Reluctant First Lady".

With support from Howe and Hickok, Roosevelt set out to redefine the position. According to
her biographer Blanche Wiesen Cook, she became "the most controversial First Lady in United
States history" in the process. Despite criticism of them both, with her husband's strong support
she continued with the active business and speaking agenda she had begun before assuming the
role of First Lady in an era when few married women had careers. She was the first presidential
spouse to hold regular press conferences and in 1940 became the first to speak at a national
party convention. She also wrote a daily and widely syndicated newspaper column, "My Day",
another first for a presidential spouse. She was also the first First Lady to write a monthly
magazine column and to host a weekly radio show.
Activity 2 :

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in
the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes
along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

This quote from her is the best one I think personally because she encourage us to overcame our fear if
we want to be stronger. And by doing the thing you think you cannot do, open the opportunity for us to
new way of life and options. This is so right in many ways although doesn’t mean we need to always do
it even if we don’t know how, but its there to remind us that we need to be brave in this life to go on.

And I want to apply this quotation in my life by being not afraid to take new challenges and not afraid to
take an opportunity, because if I too compelled by fear I cant be a better person with just doing things
that makes me survive. I choose this because this quotation encourage me too, to live my life bravely
and not afraid to do things that I thing maybe impossible.

Activity 3

In nowadays problem I want to say about LGBT support group whose tackling issues about how people
should have treat LGBT people equally in society. LGBT itself are a rare occurences with people who likes
the same type of sex. This includes lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. This community usually
wants the world to know that being a LGBT doesn’t mean they aren’t a person. They are still a human
being who are just have difference of sexual preference. This term are used since 1990s to group people
like this in 1 category. And since then people are referring LGBT people as ‘sick’ people.

In 2016 a popular gay dance club in Orlando are fall victim from mass shooting by one assailant. With
result at least 49 dead and another 50 injured, this hate crime is being called the worst mass shooting in
U.S history. It occurred during what was LGBT pride weekend for towns and citiesin and beyond the
United States. This attract attention of many people in US and the LGBT community are mad about this 1
particular hate crimes. Since then the movement are getting stronger, pleading the mass that LGBT just
want to live peacefully without being discriminated and looked down by normal people. These
entrenched homophobia for a long time and alerted entire populations to the existence of difference.
Wether they recognized and try to tolerate now are being watched by mass and even public media are
addressing this issue globally not just in US.

LGBT community makes the movement by socially tries to explain to the world by demonstration,
media, and online exposure, and activism are the great part of this movement to be recognized, one of
the activism worth mentioning that this could be happen are Alison Bechdel who make lesbian-themed
Brodway which make an great exposure about trans like Olympic champion Bruce Jenner transitioned to
Caitlyn Jenner. In US an intense racial profiling confrontations and tragedies turning LGBT activism to
‘intersectionality’, or recigbutuib of intersections issues of race, class, gender identity and sexim. It
doesn’t treated like a disease anymore but treated as social issues that linger in US community.
With activism keep fighting for equality, the case of LGBT people who people look at sick people are now
a social issues just like what Black Lives Matter do in US. It’s a social issues about people equality and
they need to be recognized by the mass. This support group achieved what they want and know LBGT
are recognized not even in US but in a whole world.

Activity 4

With Dr. Martin Luther King speech about his dreams, this speech gave a great deal of progress toward
black people race in US. His challenging the status quo in his generation and now I think his dream are
starting to realized even though still far from the ideal. His dream are not about what black people want
to became equal, but he wants everyone will be equal not just for black people.

Racist people are still a thing, but with nowadays globalization this issues are far more explored and easy
to tackle on because information are so fast paced even we could know whats happening in the other
side of the world by matter of minute or hour. Internet helps with exposure and news makes a problem
which occur could be seen by everyone who has access to internet to see whats wrong in the internet. I
will take example like George Floyd problem. This case about police brutality are everywhere not just in
U.S and demands people to see it.

The wrong doing of the cops are unforgivable, even though this case are the wrong doing of 1 man, but
the U.S police face are slapped hard by media which categorize this as police brutality. This accident
makes people go with movement called Black Lives Matter as president Obama lately brings up. Because
racist profiling by police whose job to catch criminal, makes that police kill George. This is not
something that need to be done by him. He could just apprehend and arrested him, but he just killed the
man. This brought the question of community why? Did we need to be not racist toward any races? Why
there are still people who thinks there are far more superior race or whatsoever.

This brings the movement to the surface that black people in U.S are matter too. Even the police
department know whats wrong and quickly tries to compensate the problem with the media. But the
mass are already move. They know there are still inequality in same community that needs to be fix. And
this became a problem in U.S. now. What Dr. King wants are equality and this is what the black people
got. U.S. recognize the black people as part of U.S. are great progress toward racism in this country, but
there are still some certain individual that don’t like it.

That’s what the problem in how dr. King dream cant be realized. Even though the majority are
concerning the fact and people are starting gathering as equal. There are still some individual who are
not yet want to accept equality. People who still thinks of theirself are higher than other, people who
doesn’t care about other people. That kind of thinking are dangerous and could be a far more problem
that what they meant to be.
Now when the world are addressing the problem about Black Lives Matter, people are starting to realize
that equality are much more needed in not just U.S but whole world. Dr. king speech of equality are not
reaching just the black people, but Asian, Indian, or some west people. Racism are not occurred just in
U.S. but whole world. And this become the trigger of a bigger movement toward equality. His speech
about dreams of equality are now in a motion, from this event we could see how racism treated in U.S
will it became better or worse. We will see.
