“I never forget that I live in a house owned by all the American people and that I have been given their trust.”
a little thought to contemplate at this crucial moment in our history. the picture was taken at the FDR Memorial in Washington, DC, which was designed by landscape architect Lawrence Halprin. several outdoor rooms contain various sculptures, reliefs, and inscriptions that recall the four terms of Franklin D. Roosevelt. the sculpture above is a tribute to FDR’s Fireside Chats.
Another quote by FDR is below, form another part of the memorial.
