One of FDR’s most famous State of the Union Addresses: The “Four Freedoms” Speech
In his State of the Union Address on January 6, 1941, Franklin Roosevelt presented his reasons for continued aid to Great Britain and greater production of war industries at home. In helping Britain, President Roosevelt stated, the United States was fighting for the universal freedoms that all people possessed.
As America entered the war these “four freedoms” - the freedom of speech, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want, and the freedom from fear - symbolized America’s goals.
The famous Four Freedoms paragraphs of the State of the Union did not appear in the speech until the fourth draft. Read More

“Nonprofits often excel at using “their data to better understand their ‘customer base.’ In this area, big companies with lots of resources really can learn from their cash-strapped nonprofit cousins.” -

Photographer Scott Cromwell captured the split-second moment when a chameleon went in for the kill. Mr Cromwell watched as Geoffrey, a 17-month-old chameleon released his tongue towards a mantis and hit it straight on.

Important Facts about Lincoln
My daughter is working on a timeline about Abraham Lincoln, but she keeps tiring out before she gets to the most important parts. So far she has:
- Abraham Lincoln grew up in a log cabin.
- Abraham Lincoln kept important papers in his hat.
- Abraham Lincoln grew a beard when he became president.
We’ve got to get to the slavery stuff or it’s going to seem like I’m raising a racist!
“Log cabin, hat papers, beard…yep, that about does it!”
DOUG! Did you listen to the new episode of This American Life: Child Logic? It’s absolutely wonderful (and will make any person who isn’t a mannequin burst into tears) but one part in particular is about Jack Hit talking to his daughter about Jesus (because she gets obsessed with him for some reason) and what he did and about MLK and what he did. It’s very sweet and interesting and amazing and listen to it now. Kids come to very pure conclusions when they don’t have all the complicated and crazy subtext that adults have. It’s very interesting. Here’s a link: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/188/kid-logic It’s in Act One.
