FDR, confined to a wheel chair by polio, trained his wife to be his eyes and ears. He sent her to examine factories, schools, disaster areas, and battle fronts. He taught her to get beyond the facade that local officials would put up in order to ferret out the truth. She would report back to him in detail what she saw. Eleanor Roosevelt was not so much a wife to her husband, their romance appearantly ended with his affair years before. Instead, she was an essential part of the Roosevelt governance team. Eleanor Roosevelt - The American Experience will help introduce children to this wonderful woman.

Eleanor Roosevelt was the first white person of national stature to champion civil rights for blacks and minorities. She was a necessary precursor for the Civil Rights Movement that began in the 1950s. A few of her actions fostering civil rights for all Americans are recounted in the film. There were hundreds of others, large and small. For one powerful example, see, Learning Guide to The Tuskegee Airmen.
