Yes, Franklin D. Roosevelt was disabled; he contracted polio in 1921, which resulted in paralysis from the waist down. Despite his mobility challenges, he served as the 32nd President of the United States and led the country through the Great Depression and World War II. Roosevelt's condition was kept largely private during his presidency, and he became an advocate for people with disabilities. His leadership style and ability to connect with the public were pivotal in shaping his legacy.
