This Norman Rockwell poster is based on the “Four Freedoms” addressed by Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt in a January 1941 speech. The following January, the U.S. would be at war and these freedoms would be at risk abroad and at home. They are:
1. Freedom of speech and expression
2. Freedom of worship
3. Freedom from want
4. Freedom from fear
They are all worth revisiting 70 years later. We seem to be back-sliding on these basic freedoms. At home and abroad.
Lifted the poster from Kaili Joy Gray's post today on Daily Kos. Thanks, Kaili.
