No doubt that FDR did wonderful things and changed the political landscape. However, I am disappointed with his lack of action and leadership against the internment of Japanese Americans

Learning a lot

Environmental protection, job creation, and work for veterans. Look at FDR using an intersectional lens to create programs and policies

I like the parts about Eleanor Roosevelt best

Banking holidays

Informative, but dry

Getting more interesting. Trying to use momentum for good book club discussion to help me finish.

Interesting to learn about his cabinet picks and that he was proud to have the first woman cabinet member. Also strange that he made fun of her appearance, but was glad to have her on board.

The tensions during the transfer of power between Hoover and FDR feel very familiar
