Stricken with polio at age 39, Franklin Roosevelt suffered through intense physical pain, but he did not let that deter him from pursuing his life of public service. In 1932, when America had reached the depths of the Great Depression, he defeated Herbert Hoover for president.

This presentation looks at the life and times of this extraordinary man.
