In one of the darkest moments in American history, a paralyzed president stood before a broken nation and declared: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” But what did Franklin D. Roosevelt mean by that famous line — and why did it resonate so deeply?
In this episode of Quotable History, Will Henry takes you on a journey through FDR’s remarkable life, from his privileged upbringing and personal battles with polio to his masterful leadership during the Great Depression. You’ll discover how his rhetoric lifted the morale of millions, how the New Deal reshaped America, and why his legacy remains both celebrated and controversial.
As the U.S. teetered on the brink of collapse, FDR inspired a nation to overcome fear — but the story doesn’t end there. Next week, we explore how he faced an even greater challenge: World War II.
