Type of event: Living History Presentation Brookings Public Library
515 3rd Street, Brookings SD 7:00 P.M.
Free and open to the public. Recommended for adults and youth age 12 and up.
Meet first lady Eleanor Roosevelt in 1937, during her husband's second term
as president. For almost two decades Mrs. Roosevelt had worked to advance
minimum wage, maximum hours, laws against child labor, women's rights,
women's representation in government, world peace, civil rights, and other
progressive causes.
Behind this public life is the story of a little girl who lost both parents
before the age of ten, a debutante who felt trapped by society's
expectations, and a young wife who bore six and raised five children (one
girl and four boys) before emerging as one of the 20th century's most
remarkable women. Hear Eleanor Roosevelt's views on what makes life worth
living and how we can each make a difference in the midst of a strife-filled
world views at least as relevant today as they were 70 years ago.
The presentation will be followed by a Question and Answer period with Mrs.
Roosevelt. This, in turn, will be followed by a Question and Answer period
with the scholar/presenter Susan Marie Frontczak.
4. The dedication of the statue and the grand opening of the Civilian Conservation Corps Museum of South Dakota will be Saturday, May 16 at 1 pm, Hill City, SD.
