jan 1, 2001 - The Prologue Room - with a statue of FDR by Robert Graham

Description:

In 2001, the Prologue Room was dedicated, with a statue of FDR by Robert Graham, which depicts him seated in a wheelchair of his own design - a kitchen chair modified with tricycle wheels. On the wall there is a quote of FDR’s wife, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962): “Franklin's illness...gave him strength and courage he had not had before. He had to think out the fundamentals of living and learn the greatest of all lessons - infinite patience and never-ending persistence.”
