FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT

32nd President of the United States

Bio

January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945

Most often referred to by his initials FDR

A dominant leader of the Democratic party.

Only president elected to more than two terms.

Bio In his first hundred days in

office, which began March 4, 1933, Roosevelt spearheaded major legislation and issued a profusion of executive orders that instituted the New Deal—a variety of programs designed to produce relief (government jobs for the unemployed), recovery (economic growth), and reform (through regulation of Wall Street, banks and transportation). The economy improved rapidly from 1933 to 1937, but then relapsed into a deep recession.

Bio The fireside chats were a

series of thirty evening radio addresses given by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt between 1933 and 1944. Although the World War I Committee on Public Information had seen presidential policy propagated to the public en masse, ‘fireside chats’ were the first media development that facilitated intimate and direct communication between the president and the citizens of the United States.

Bio On radio, he was

able to quell rumors and explain his reasons for social change slowly and comprehensibly . Radio was especially convenient for Roosevelt because it enabled him to hide his polio symptoms from the public eye.

Bio Famous for his Four Freedoms
