Eleanor Roosevelt interview on FDR's Legacy (1959)

- From her privileged family background to her passion for social activism, this conversation touches on a wide range of Eleanor Roosevelt’s memories, concerns, and goals. The former first lady points out that she took no interest in women’s suffrage until after she was married and because FDR favored it, but she also recalls how her husband did not hold her to any set patterns or object to her extended speaking tours. Acknowledging FDR’s unwillingness to support an anti-lynching bill, Roosevelt says her husband’s greatest accomplishments were the actions he took to overcome the Depression, restoring the self-confidence of the American people, and the continuation of atomic research. His biggest mistakes, in her view, were his attempt to reform the judicial system and his involvement in certain elections.

She was such a careful, and clear thinker. She really understood her time in great depth.
A very sharp mind and her speech pattern is clear and precise , much like an educated British accent to my ears .
Mrs Roosevelt was educated in Britain.
She speaks much like her husband, this was the way most of the rulling class spoke at that time.
Could listen to her for hours. What an extraordinary human.
We need to listen to Eleanor Roosevelt today more than ever. What a fabulous person.
You are so right. We sure could use some like her and FDR right now.
Man you are right we need her now but too good a person for today
@Misterlaxx d she had lesbian friends
@Shaboygan Bakalal what's that got to do with it?
@Shaboygan Bakalal what her gender preference was at different stages of her life is irrelevant. It is also easy to check. Your question is disingenuous.
Regardless of her political affiliation, what an amazing woman. The kind you could vote for to the presidency without giving it much thought.
The greatest First Lady this country has ever had, and really the blueprint for what a modern First Lady could be. She was so much more than a well dressed hostess of the White House.
She was an incredible woman. They wanted her to run for president after FDR died, but she couldn't take the toxic nature of politics (it was just as bad then as now), so she refused. I really wish she would have run. She would have been our first woman president for sure.. and a great one too.
Every American should watch this, especially today.
Eleanor Roosevelt addressed the significant issues of the time she lived in like almost no one else. Reasoned discussion and high ideals were her hallmarks. She was an early feminist.
This gives me chills...a role model for our troubled country.
Susan Drazen AGREED!
Not only the U.S. but for people everywhere! Eleanor Roosevelt was a force for good; advocating efficient diplomacy, sound conversation and decency. Love from Norway!
Imagine. We once had leaders.
Excellent interview with an extraordinary lady.
ByzantineCalvinist AGREED! And extraordinary doesn't even begin to define her- Fabulous, amazing, spectacular, wise, awesome etc.
What a difference between mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt of former first lady to Nancy Pelosi the speaker of the house no comparison mrs. Roosevelt so intelligent wonderful speaker and held the listener's attention she did did so much for our country we certainly could use her today
What an extraordinary interview, so much of it very much relevant to today's problems. Thank you so much for posting it.
That’s my wife
POWERFUL... She is so eloquent and intellectual.
26:17 nailed it. Still true today.
What a person!!she made an awesome speech.I hope women like Eleanor Roosevelt is as determined as this women.we should always listen to people like this,people who made right choices in their lives to change the world,and who always thinks the positive side,and always seem to be the kind of person who would help a person out.
I remember my Mother reading her newspaper column daily..
Great woman
Amazing human being.
Eleanor Roosevelt is the most intelligent person I have ever heard speak. Unfortunately, there has never been anyone as intelligent in public office.
What a Lady! She was so well-spoken, opinionated, articulate and passionate about her community and the world at large. Even at the age of 74 or 75 in this video, she was still sharp, vital and appears to be in near excellent shape, physically. We lost this icon far too soon, only three short years after this segment, she appeared here to have had many more years ahead of her.
What do you mean, “even at the age of 74 or 75”. That is not an old age at all. I don’t plan on being old until I’m 99.
@@MusicMan-dv7jg In 1959, 74-75 years of age could've probably been considered very old, given that the average life expectancy for all groups in the US averaged 69.6 years in 1960, only two years before Roosevelt's death. Gerontologists, across the board, even today, consider 75 years of age to be be old.
She should have ran for president
@@jeanpalumbo3411 Louis Howe asked her to run once FDR's term was up but she was non-committal, and since he died in 1936, that put the matter to bed.
@@MusicMan-dv7jg mid 70's is old though. The average lifespan is around 78 for women. The body starts breaking down quickly and the immune system gets weak after 70. It often happens very rapidly too. I saw it happen with my parents.
What a Great person! We were fortunate to have her as First Lady and afterwards, as our Representative in The United Nations. 'The Universal Bill of Rights' was a Great accomplishment!
Her words are still relevant in 2022.
2023 we need you here in America Eleanor.
thanks for this
We have a lot to live up to.
I wished we had her here with us today. I’m amazed by her.
Originally telecast on March 8, 1959.
If ever there was someone who was meant to be the first woman President it’s Eleanor.
You don't have to agree with everything Roosevelt did, as some of us do not, to appreciate this piece of oral history.
I love this woman.
The wealthy used to help the poor. Now the poor tell us it’s not the riches responsibility to help us. Ignorance is bliss.

Look up the Ed Murrow interview from person to person, expressed the reality that the mail she received was not always favorable.
Dying to know who the interviewer is and what station. This was awesome!
NBC Broadcast
ER was the best.
How would you characterize ER diction and accent?
Where's her accent from?
English/Eastern American she was sent to London and remained there for a few years when she was in her youth, I think she picked up the accent from the people she was surrounded by.
This is how southern americans spoke in the last 200 years
Lizbeth Gonzalez I believe it was called the mid Atlantic accent.
Great Britain.
@Siegbert Landgraf Transatlantic accent
27:00
Oh how American political and intellectual life has fallen !
She could have been president
She would be ashamed of the Democratic Party today.
No, she would not.
Oh she sure would be!
No she wouldn’t. You clearly don’t know what she stood for.
She would be Horrified at the Divided parties of the USA Today! No one tries to reason or solve! What aSad future for my Granddaughter😰😱
I Love Eleanore what a Majestic Lady! Words to follow!❤️❤️🙏🙏
Rip .... Even the interviewer and camera man ...... every one die faster than we think ...we should work for the afterlife because this life is so small and don't worth
How does one work for the afterlife?? Wherever you go, there you are.
@@Lumalnatti11 you make good things for every one even the people who behave bad with you ...... believing in the God is the most important thing because lot of religions declared that only one God who roling every thing ......Sabies in Iraq , Azidies , Jews , Christians, Muslims .
Apolitical doctors. How has that worked out?
don't make 1st.ladies like her any more
She had a life of misery
And look at how she put her problems aside and went out there in the world and was a spokeswoman for ALL.
She married her cousin, now that's a type of incest!!! SMH!!!
