Eleanor Roosevelt, the longest-serving First Lady of the United States, was born on this day in 1884. She has been most remembered for her social justice efforts, having spent much of her life advancing the rights of women and minorities. Roosevelt was an ardent supporter of civil rights, calling out her husband's New Deal programs for discriminating against African Americans and opposing FDR's Executive Order 9066, which forced Japanese Americans into internment camps after the attack on Pearl Harbor. She also advocated for more women in the workplace and urged women to vote as a bloc.
