Sculpture of Eleanor Roosevelt in Room 4 of the FDR Memorial.

A sculpture of Eleanor Roosevelt, standing next to the United Nations emblem.

To the left reads the quote: "The structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man, or one party, or one nation, it must be a peace which rests on the cooperative effort of the whole world."

This statue is the first time a first lady has been honored in a presidential memorial.

A beautiful, very large waterfall ends the memorial. Perhaps to show the strength and endurance of the U.S.?
