She was such a brave person. She overcame severe shyness and stage fright only to become an outspoken leader.

Eleanor's accent is known as a Mid-Atlantic accent and was common among people of her class in the old days.

+Xander Taylor Her class was a small group of very patrician families. The Britishness of her accent sounds very very affected nowadays. No American woman born after 1945 speaks like that.
@athenajeannezeiter73548 жыл бұрын
+alnot01 The Britishness of her accent can also be attributed to the fact that she attended boarding school at Allenswood school for Girls outside of London at the turn of the century.

+Athena Jeanne Hale It was common in those days among the upper-classes in America. It was also a common accent among actors until the 1940s. Just watch some old American movies and you'll hear accents similar to hers.

My 97 year old grandmother still has that accent. She grew up in an upperclass family in Anglophone Montreal and was taught to have a British pronunciation. I was thinking of recording her voice while she's still with us because it's a definite relic of the past

You need to read a biography of Eleanor Roosevelt to understand how hard she worked to make this Declaration possible and esp. how hard she had to fight Mr. Malik, the Russian representative, just to get the wording that is in it. It was a long, tedious process and she deserves much credit.

Mr. Malik was the representative of Lebanon, he assisted in writing the Declaration. E.R. no doubt had opposition from the Soviet delegation, but Malik wasn't it.

Eleanor Roosevelt Transcript of Speech on Human Rights 1951 Paragraph One: I’m very glad to be able to take part in this celebration in St. Louis on Human Rights Day. Ever since the declaration of human rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, was passed in Paris in 1948 on December the 10th , we have fostered the observance of this day not only in the United States but throughout the world. Paragraph Two: The object is to make people everywhere conscious of the importance of human rights and freedoms. Paragraph Three: The reason for that is that these are spoken of and emphasized in the Charter of the United Nations, and the declaration was written to elaborate the rights already mentioned in the charter and to emphasize also, for all of us, the fact that the building of human rights would be one of the foundation stones, on which we would build in the world, an atmosphere in which peace can grow. Paragraph Four: For that reason, all over the world we’ve encouraged the Association for the United Nations to observe a whole week before United Nations Day comes around to explain the United Nations and what goes on in that organization and when we come to the celebration for human rights we try to particularly have people study the declaration so that they will really understand what were considered to be the most essential rights for all people to have throughout the world. Paragraph Five: They fall into different groups and one reason that we are now considering the writing of a covenant or covenants is because we feel that these rights should sometimes be actually written into the laws of countries throughout the world, and that can be done by the adoption of covenants and the changing of laws to meet whatever a country has accepted in a covenant which will be written in treaty form. Paragraph Six: These things must be well understood because even though you pass, you accept treaties and countries ratify those treaties, the real change, which must give to people throughout the world their human rights, must come about in the hearts of people. Paragraph Seven: We must want our fellow human beings to have rights and freedoms which give them dignity and which will give them a sense that they are human beings that can walk the earth with their heads high and look all men in the face. Paragraph Eight: If we observe these rights, for ourselves and for others, I think we will find that it is easier in the world to build peace because war destroys all human rights and freedoms, so in fighting for those we fight for peace.

@@MaleOrderBride Melania lied on her website for 9 years claiming to have a “degree in design” from the University of Slovenia. She only took it down after it was found that she never completed any college degree anywhere. As First Lady, she visited public schools. What kind of message did that send to students? That school isn’t necessary because you can just lie on your resume? You are defending a scam artist. She’s exactly like her husband.

✊✊🏿✊🏾✊🏼✊🏻✊🏽✊ I am talking to you all Today not just as my physical form will seem, but as a soul and as person who feels the pain that this global society is going through right now. I plead with you all to not play a victim card, even if you're one of the worst affected people by this virus because that won't help anyone especially not you. What I suggest we all do is Stand Together (Through moral support) as a global society with for once the same enemy, an enemy that is killing our people and an enemy that will change this world forever. Those changes don't have to be entirely bad because we are still the dominant life force on this planet, as the dominant life force we are entirely in charge of the way this planet is shaped. Stand with me, Stand with your community, stand with your country and stand up and be counted because the power of compounding interest is indeed the most powerful force in the universe. The History books are being written day by day, so i ask you what side of history do you want to be on? Do you want to be one of the people who stood up and made a difference? or do you still just want to sit down and let your life pass right before your eyes? TOGETHER WE RISE!!! *Share this post* Together let's re-write history the way it should have been written all along.

We aren’t the dominant life force on the planet - that type of thinking and position is wrong. We share this planet with countless other species and in order for all of us to live and be equal then we must not live as ‘the dominant species.’ We must live as one with all others and stand with all of creation and take care of it and not act like humans are superior. We are not.

Finally here and recently from school. I don't know anything about Roosevelt but from the looks of a human right brochure the message seems to be all about coming together politically and oddly with the help by Tom Cruises crew within scientology and also with the help by education schools, radio press, recording industry, airports and many more workplaces ubiquitously

HER AND HER HUSBAND'S FAMILIES WERE REPUBLICAN OF THE GILDED AGE(COUSINS) AND THEY WERE THOUGHT TO BE "TRAITORS TO THEIR CLASS" FOR BECOMING "DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST'S"! ELEANORE WAS THE PUSH BEHIND THE MAN AND I CAN HEAR HER ASKING HIM " SEE IF THERE ISNT SOMETHING WE CAN DO FOR THESE POOR MEN WHO ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO MAKE IT HOME FROM THE WAR!" THUS THE VETERANS AFFAIRS WAS BORN FROM A KIND THOUGHT! COMING "OUT OF THE BUBBLE" OR "GILDED CAGE" SHE HAD AN OPEN DISPOSITION AND HER BEST FRIENDS WERE STRONG ACTIVIST'S AND SHE HAD FRANKLIN TAKE A WOMAN INTO HIS OFFICE TO WRITE THE SOCIAL RELIEF FUND, I BELIEVE IT WAS CALLED THEN, SHE ALSO HAD KNOWN LESBIAN SOCIETY COMPANION'S WITH HER (HER PRIVATE LIFE HER OWN?) AND MANY STRONG WOMEN AROUND HER OF ALL COLORS! SHE HAS BEEN MY HEROINE SINCE 1968 WHEN I DID A 6TH GRADE REPORT ON KENNEDY AND HE HAD MENTIONED HER AND SOME OF THE SOCIALIST WORK SHE HAD ACCOMPLISHED!

Right Eleanor, fighting for those rights of human beings, in all the world, is fighting for peace! For these rights are natural, as Jefferson said in the Summary View: "The evidence of this natural right, like that of our right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, is not left to the feeble and sophistical investigations of reason, but is impressed on the sense of every man. We do not claim these under the charters of kings or legislators, but under the King of kings." For this "King of Kings", Jefferson mentions, is the Prince of Peace, Isaiah 9:6 .
