‎�perhaps the best place to begin is with the Jews and colored people�: Eleanor Roosevelt responds to an idea for promoting better relations between Jews and Gentiles‎

‎1941. No binding. Fine. Typed Letter Signed to Prudence B. Anderson February 15 1941. On White House stationery with original envelope and 3 page retained carbon copy of Anderson's letter to which this responds. 1 p. ""There is no doubt that there is a need for improving the understanding and co-operation between the various races which make up the U.S.A. and perhaps the best place to begin is with the Jews and colored people"" Prudence B. Anderson wrote to the First Lady proposing boards of conciliation to help resolve local disputes between Jews and Gentiles. Although Anderson admits that ""Morals and friendship - and understanding - can never be legislated"" she believes that such boards could be places where ""grievances could be aired and rectified.instead of smoldering into race hatred and dissention between American citizens."" She specifically asked whether she thought Secretary of Commerce Jesse H. Jones 1874-1956 could be persuaded to fund such boards consisting of ""representative members of all races comprising such community.""Eleanor Roosevelt was a staunch advocate for equal rights whether women's rights international human rights or civil rights for African Americans. As First Lady Roosevelt toured the nation witnessing the effects of the Great Depression on rural areas. In one area she pressured the Subsistence Homestead Administration to allow African Americans into Arthurdale a planned community designed to create economic self-sufficiency. Her efforts failed highlighting the depths of institutional racism in the United States. Roosevelt lobbied for civil rights inside her husband's administration and to the general public via radio and print media. She fought against lynching and segregation even resigning her membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution when they barred black opera singer Marian Andersen from performing in Constitution Hall. Instead Roosevelt arranged for Andersen to sing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Despite her efforts segregation was the norm in many early New Deal programs as well as the armed services during the war. American anti-Semitism surged during the Great Depression and lead up to World War II.Eleanor Roosevelt was prescient in pushing for better understanding and working relationships between the Jewish and African American communities. Though it took time leaders of both groups joined in an effective movement for racial equality. The ""golden age of cooperation"" culminated in the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act.Martin Luther King Jr. said in 1965 ""How can there be anti-Semitism among Negroes when our Jewish friends have demonstrated their commitment to the principle of tolerance and brotherhood not only in the form of sizable contributions but in many other tangible ways and often at great personal sacrifice.It would be impossible to record the contribution that the Jewish people have made toward the Negro's struggle for freedom-it has been so great."" As many Jews transitioned to middle-class and upper-middle-class status the Black Power movement grew and anti-Semitism among African Americans grew more pronounced the Jewish and African American coalition unraveled.Complete TranscriptTHE WHITE HOUSE / WASHINGTON February 15 1941My dear Miss Anderson: I doubt very much if you could interest Mr. Jones in your suggestion but there is no harm in trying particularly as I know of no one at present who is anxious to contribute to any new ideas. There is no doubt that there is a need for improving the understanding and co-operation between the various races which make up the U.S.A. and perhaps the best place to begin is with the Jews and colored people; but it seems difficult to do in the way you suggest unless it could be done on a voluntary basis. Very sincerely yours Eleanor RooseveltEleanor Roosevelt 1884-1962 was born in New York City. She was tutored privately and attended an Engli. See website for full description unknown‎

Roosevelt briefly mentioned his intention to support the creation of a universal military training program after World War II ended. In October 1945 President Harry Truman recommended a specific Universal Military Training UMT plan to a joint session of Congress which held hearings but largely chose to ignore the President's request because of funding concerns. Opponents insisted that the atomic age had rendered large armies obsolete.</p><p>Truman asked for UMT in successive years but largely ignored his request. However the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950 brought the issue to the fore again. Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson forwarded his agency's program to Congress with the note that "recent events in Korea have only served to emphasize the fact that universal training is an essential element of an integrated and balanced system of national security." The President continued to support UMT but other issues directly related to the war were more pressing.</p><p>The issue resurfaced when the Senate Armed Services Committee held more extensive hearings on the proposed Universal Military Training and Service Act of 1951. George C. Marshall who had come out of retirement to succeed Johnson as Secretary of Defense testified that "in every national emergency…our military efforts have been hampered our very national existence has been imperiled by the lack of trained reserves."</p><p>On February 10 1951 Mrs. Flora E. Shirah wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt regarding the state of the nation. Although Shirah had no children subject to UMT she found the bill "little short of criminal." "I say it smacks of Communism to draft 'children'" she continues. "Congress will make a serious mistake if they pass such a bill and our country has already made too many." She assures Roosevelt that "I am not just ranting about this subject." She had two sons from her first marriage the older of whom "expects to be called back anytime now in the Air Force." The younger Charles Gerald Royce 1932-2000 turned 19 on January 14 1951 and had enlisted in the Air Force after graduation. Shirah goes on "they are my only children but I still insist if my son were still in high school and only eighteen and a law was passed to draft him I should heartily dispise the men who would pass that sort of legislation." She tells Eleanor that if FDR were still alive "there would not be the unrest distrust and lack of faith in our Government." She and her neighbors do not believe there is "a firm sure hand at the wheel of our Government" and "We believe that some day the mothers of this country will rebel and form their own union in defense of what they consider the right and fair thing to do." She closes by telling Eleanor that she is reading the book her son Elliott Roosevelt wrote and asks Eleanor to suggest a good biography of her husband "for whom I always had a great admiration."</p><p>Shirah also wrote to Senators Robert A. Taft of Ohio and Brien McMahon of Connecticut and President Harry Truman. She had received a response only from Senator McMahon.</p><p>Roosevelt's patient response to Shirah offered here is a strong defense of Universal Military Training to meet the threat of the U.S.S.R. While sympathetic to a mother's concerns Roosevelt makes clear her support for UMT. Acknowledging that large programs often have "<i>inequalities and injustices</i>" she also defends Congress and American involvement in Korea while offering a primer in citizen responsibility.</p><p>At the end of her letter Roosevelt assures Shirah that America's youth had a strong advocate in Anna Rosenberg 1902-1983 who served as Assistant Secretary of Defense in charge of manpower from November 1950 to January 1953.</p><p>When Dwight D. Eisenhower superseded Harry Truman as president UMT lost its most vocal supporter. Congress retained the option of selective service which led to the very unpopular Vietnam War draft.</p><p><b>Eleanor Roosevelt</b> 1884-1962 was born in New York City was tutored privately and attended an English finishing school. In 1905 she married her distant cousin Franklin D. Roosevelt. They had six children one of whom died in infancy. She actively supported her husband's political ambitions campaigning for him and representing him when he was Governor of New York 1929-1932 and President 1933-1945. After FDR's death Harry S. Truman appointed Eleanor Roosevelt as the first U.S. Representative to the United Nations where she served from 1947 to 1953. She also served as the first chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights. In 1961 John F. Kennedy appointed her as the first chair of the Presidential Commission on the Status of Women.</p><p><b>Flora E. Wyse Royce Shirah</b> 1906-1992 married Wingate Royce 1898-1961 a stone setter in 1928. By 1930 they lived with his mother in Middletown Connecticut. In 1940 she and her two sons lived with her mother in a suburb of Hartford. She divorced Royce and married Zelmar Shirah 1905-1971 an Alabama-born stone setter. They divorced in 1954. From the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s she worked as a bookkeeper for Pratt & Whitney manufacturers of aircraft engines.</p> books‎
