Essay Work: Write a Letter to Eleanor Roosevelt

Post a letter at least 300 words no later than Sunday, 11:55 p.m. ET. Post two response letters at least 100 words no later than Sunday, 11:55 p.m.

Thousands and thousands of African Americans wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt for help. See this site for more information on these letters. Research this in the library or from the course bibliography. Do not research on the Internet for this exercise except to add to your understanding after you’ve looked at the required website and letters. Assume an African American character and write from the perspective of the character. In other words, take on the role of someone during the Roosevelt administrations writing to the First Lady. Write the letter and post it. Then, in a separate paragraph, explain why you chose to write what you did. The total number of words should be no less than 300. Students must respond, so please post this as soon as possible. You really need specifics and context ­ show that you did the reading and understand the time period and Mrs. Roosevelt’s work.

Respond at least two times. Your best two responses will be graded. When you reply, also write in character. Take the role of a government official. Grading will be with the grading rubric for essays. Therefore, you cannot use the textbook or encyclopedias. You must cite and use at least one academic source from the library.

Here are some websites to help you. Eleanore Roosevelt and Civil Rights, George Washington University “Please Help US Mr. President”: Black Americans Write to FDR

Also, google: Black Americans write Eleanor Roosevelt. You will see multiple images of actual letters written to the First Lady.
