Eleanor Roosevelt believed strongly that all people should have equal rights, and that equality would allow people of different races to live together peacefully. Like Martin Luther King, Jr., whose life and work we celebrate today, Roosevelt looked to a day when all people would be equal. She wrote:
“There is no reason why all of the races in this country should not live together each of them giving from their particular gift something to the other, and contributing an example to the world of “peace on earth, good will toward men.”
