7:00 p.m. Program

Join author and historian Carol Cohen for a look into the life of Eleanor Roosevelt.  During this presentation, meet Eleanor Roosevelt at her home in Hyde Park, New York, to learn about her role as a human rights activist.  Using primary sources that were very much a part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s personal and professional life, Cohen’s presentation is both interesting and interactive.  This is Eleanor after the death of Franklin, when she is living at Val Kill on her own.  She has just returned from Paris where the Declaration of Human Rights has been passed at the United Nations.
Carol Cohen has spent her life dedicated to teaching and learning. Carol is on the faculty of Lesley University Graduate School of Education where she teaches Social Studies Methods, Literacy and Practicum Seminar. Carol offers Professional Development Workshops and Tours as well as lectures for children and adults. 

Doors will open at 6:15 p.m. with refreshments and Eleanor’s favorite dessert will be served.  Eleanor will arrive at 7 p.m. There will be no Q & A during the presentation but Eleanor will stay to answer individual questions you may have.
