In this letter from 1944 Mrs. Roosevelt responded to one of her critics, Addie Frizielle, who worried about the desegregation of restrooms and forced social interaction between the races in the government's movement toward racial equality in some spheres.
The First Lady responded to Addie Frizielle who voiced concerns regarding desegregation. Mrs. Roosevelt enumerates the "four basic rights which I believe every citizen in a democracy must enjoy. These are the right for equal education, the right to work for equal pay according to ability, the right to justice under the law, the right to participate in the making of the laws by use of the ballot." This item includes a photograph of Eleanor Roosevelt, GLC09544.02
