Some claim Franklin D. Roosevelt was not racist. He actually helped out African Americans and made them a part of his cabinet, calling it the Black Cabinet. However, Roosevelt appointed former KKK member Hugo Black to the US Supreme Court. When Hugo was a senator in Alabama he infamously filibustered an anti-lynching bill. Hugo also wrote positively of Roosevelt in his memoirs, specifically pointing out that while the KKK was increasingly being frowned upon by the American public, Roosevelt considered that a positive on his part: "[Roosevelt's] best friends and supporters he had in the state of Georgia were strong members of that organization." Franklin signed Executive Order 9066, which sent 120,000 Japanese expatriates and American citizens of Japanese ancestry to be confined at internment camps, has been charged by critics as being racist. According to Bruce Bartlett in his 2008 book, Wrong on Race, Roosevelt segregated his African American and white servants by forbidding them from eating meals together at the White House. In "Devil in the Grove", there's an anecdote recounted by a young Thurgood Marshall:

Attorney General Francis Biddle phoned FDR to discuss the NAACP's involvement in a race case in Virginia. At Biddle's instruction, Marshall picked up an extension to listen in, only to hear FDR exclaim, "I warned you not to call me again about any of Eleanor's n*ggers. Call me one more time and you are fired." Black Olympic gold medal winner Jesse Owens claims that FDR snubbed him after his win, not reaching out to congratulate him in any way, while even Adolf Hitler sent him a commemorative photograph.

The dog of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who became notable when rumours spread that he had been left behind on a trip to the Aleutian Islands, was named Fala. When it was claimed that Roosevelt was wasting taxpayers' money to retrieve his beloved pet, Roosevelt replied: "you can criticize me, my wife and my family, but you can't criticize my little dog. He's Scotch and all these allegations about spending all this money have just made his little soul furious."

Franklin D. Roosevelt married Eleanor Roosevelt who was the daughter of Theodore Roosevelt's brother, Elliot. Theodore gave the bride away at the wedding.

And Theodore Roosevelt gave Eleanor Roosevelt (soon to be Roosevelt Roosevelt) away.

She is most well known for stepping in and taking over while her husband was sick. Also, she pushed for reform for women, children and minorities by convincing her husband into signing bills into laws regarding them.

I attended the Todhunter School in 1935 and 1936 in the 5th and 6th Form when I was 9 and 10 years old. I met Mrs. Roosevelt and experienced firsthand the extraordinary presence she conveyed, a sense that she actually cared about me! I felt this immediately upon looking [way] up at her and shaking hands with her politely and curtesying ( as little girls did in the 1930's). I can still recall the exact spot in the front left parlor (assembly room) of the brownstone at 66 East 80th Street that was the School where I was introduced to her. She had just come in the front door, and I happened to be nearby, I guess, and one of the teachers introduced me. She said, so directly and sincerely, it's hard to describe, "How do you, Annette." I said, "How do you do, Mrs. Roosevelt."

Mrs. Roosevelt was known to me as an important teacher who taught the older girls, in the upper grades. I had the underlying knowledge somehow that she was a very important person to the school.

strong, smart, disciplined, courageous, and caring
