Education Clip: Eleanor Roosevelt Overcoming Fear

3m 23s

Eleanor continued her work on behalf of civil rights -- championing integration of the armed forces, applauding the integration of the schools, publicizing instances of discrimination, supporting the Freedom Riders, and ignoring the death threats that never stopped coming her way. She then takes on Joseph McCarthy.
