Join us for a screening of an episode from the CNN Original Series First Ladies that delves into the life of Eleanor Roosevelt. Explore her desolate childhood, her marriage to Franklin D. Roosevelt, and her lifelong dedication to civil rights and advocacy for the poor and dispossessed – a passion that brought her to the attention of FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover, whose file on Eleanor remains one of the largest in the bureau’s collection. After the screening, stick around for a live talk and Q&A with historians Blanche Wiesen Cook and Patricia Bell-Scott as they discuss ER’s legacy with CNN anchor Poppy Harlow.
