Today, July 2, 2007, is the 75th Anniversary of FDR's historic nomination for President of the United States. FDR broke with tradition (surprising?) and flew to Chicago to accept the nomination of the Democratic Party in person. His acceptance speech gave birth to the term "New Deal."
I am currently in Chicago to celebrate this special 75th Anniversary Salute to FDR at the Auditorium Theatre, to benefit The Museum of Broadcast Communications. The Auditorium Theatre will be transformed into the Democratic National Convention in 1932, complete with bunting-draped boxes, state delegate signs and the sounds of Happy Days Are Here Again. Actor Robert Vaughn will portray FDR and deliver his historic New Deal for America speech.
The FDR Center Museum proudly presents a reprint of FDR's eloquent and ground breaking acceptance speech in which the New Deal is born!
