While getting things ready for the 10-21-07 50th anniversary Jubilee (which I am confident will be a huge success), we located an incredible tape cassette.
As some of you may know, the one and only Eleanor Roosevelt gave a speech at FHC downtown sometime in the 1950's. Inside a box containing FHC historical documents we located several copies of the cassette of her actual speech.
Over the weekend I had the opportunity to listen to the speech and from the references in the speech I guesstimate that it was given sometime in 1952-54 period. (If anyone knows the exact date, please advise.)
Her comments were eloquent, thought provoking and many of them are quite relevant today.
We have a beautiful and colorful history at FHC, and fortunately parts of that history have been preserved for future generations to listen to and to see.
I would like to somehow incorporate the Roosevelt speech into the Jubilee festivities. If anyone has any suggestions, please contact me.
Shalom.
Jeremy
