The article focuses on Franklin Roosevelt's commitment to Black Americans, yet nothing is told of his having personally blocked the anti-lynching bill from becoming law. It mentions how FDR led his administration have been just as muddled and Secretary of Commerce Harry Hopkins was not only ravaged by ulcers and the removal of two-thirds of his stomach after a cancer operation. It also mentions Joe Biden, who came to office citing FDR as a model for uniting our troubled country.
