jan 6, 1941 - FDR's "Four Freedoms" Speech

Description:

Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech, delivered on January 6, 1941, articulated a vision of the fundamental rights every person in the world ought to enjoy: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. This speech, given during his State of the Union address, aimed to justify American support for allies in World War II prior to the U.S. entering the war, and it helped lay the groundwork for a future universal declaration of human rights.
