President Roosevelt's racism- including the interment of Japanese and fielding a segregated Jim Crow Army in the 2nd world war should disqualify him from being honored with this statue in the nation's own capital.
Perhaps when this monument was erected, segregation and racism were considered "ok", but now they are not.
The plot of land where the memorial is at can be used for a monument to a worthy American like Freddie Gay or Notorious Big.
These words by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt ushered the United States into World War II and defined what it is to be an American. Stop by this secluded memorial and begin to understand the Roosevelt legacy.
