Manage episode 339210510 series 3388545
Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered his powerful 1st inaugural address on March 4th, 1933. Read by Cory Doctorow (https://pluralistic.net/). It was the last inauguration to be held on March 4th; the 20th amendment, passed earlier that year, moved Inauguration Day to January 20th. FDR had just won a landslide against Hoover in the presidential election and took the reins at the height of the Great Depression. He led the implementation of the New Deal, which helped lead to a Democratic White House for all but two terms from 1933 until 1969. His storied presidency (totaling four terms) would see him ranked in the top 3 presidents (changing spots here and there with Washington & Lincoln).
The cover art is 1947 portrait of FDR by Frank O. Salisbury.
