We saw the 75th anniversary memorial wall for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at Eleanor's home this year. The amazing ranger who gave our tour said a lot of folks had told her we need Eleanor more than ever now. She said, "Eleanor herself would tell you: You be Eleanor. It's your turn."

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.
