“Four Freedoms”

“Four Freedoms” (FDR)

U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt

One of the most enduring aspects of FDR’s legacy is his commitment to human rights and social justice. His “Four Freedoms” speech, delivered in 1941, articulated a vision for a world founded on four essential human rights: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. These principles became a cornerstone of the Allied war effort and later influenced the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
