Franklin D. Roosevelt 9" Bust President Roosevelt Bust from the White House Gift Shop: Jo Davidson was
commissioned to create this bust of America's thirty-second president,
the only American president to serve more than two terms. Franklin
Delano Roosevelt entered the White House in 1933 and immediately tried
to tackle the Great Depression. He introduced several new programs to
help Americans when they needed it most. He was also president during
World War II and, after a long, bloody, and costly war, he led the
country to victory. He was, and still is, known for his memorable
speeches and fireside chats. He told us "The only thing we have to fear
is fear itself!" Eleanor Roosevelt 13" Bust Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was a
distinguished public figure in her own right. She served as first lady
from 1933-1945, supporting the New Deal policies of her husband, as well
as being a strong advocate for civil rights and human welfare. Much of
her life was spent in service to others, from working as a social worker
in the East Side slums of New York at age seventeen, to chairing the
United Nations committee responsible for getting the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights drafted and approved. At her memorial
service, Adlai Stevenson said of her, “What other single human being has
touched and transformed the existence of so many?” Franklin D.
