Norman Rockwell’s Four Freedoms
Thanksgiving is a good time to post Norman Rockwell’s series The Four Freedoms, inspired by Franklin Roosevelt’s speech to congress in January of 1941, and published in the Saturday Evening Post in 1943.
Freedom of Speech
Freedom of Worship
Freedom from Want
Freedom from Fear
Text and audio of Roosevelt’s speech is available at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Library web site.

He was a wonderful artist. Almost hyper-reality.
Bizarrely enough this was a question in trivia last night. Other people knew it but if they hadn’t I could have saved the day. Helped us win also.
Glad to hear that you won.
