Fight for the Four Freedoms: FDR and the Greatest Generation

Award-winning historian and writer Harvey J. Kaye will offer reflections on the Four Freedoms and their legacy today during this special event. Kaye reveals how the victories and defeats of the Depression Era and World War II, and the struggles of our parents and grandparents, contain the bricks and mortar for rebuilding our democracy. The contributions of Norman Rockwell and other artists, who spread the message of the Four Freedoms, will be explored. Harvey Kaye is the Ben & Joyce Rosenberg Professor of Democracy and Justice Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay and the author of The Fight for the Four Freedoms: What Made FDR and the Greatest Generation Truly Great.
