Description
Witness the compassion, the humor, the angst, and the wit of Eleanor Roosevelt. She speaks of the ground-breaking, grueling, tempestuous, and eventually triumphant development of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a Magna Carta for humankind. No wonder President Truman dubbed Mrs. Roosevelt "First Lady of the World." Find out why Human Rights matter to you, and to the future of the United States. Program includes a Q&A “with Eleanor Roosevelt” and a Q&A with the presenter, Susan Marie Frontczak.
Reservations are required. Call 314-842-1867 ext. 230.
