On January 11, 1944, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt promised the country a Second Bill of Rights when World War II was over, but he died before the conflict ended.
America’s future security, he said, demands citizens have a right to good housing, good healthcare, good education, a living wage and more.
POCHO FACTOID: FDR never used the word “bigly” in a speech.
