It was 68 years ago, April 12, 1945, that Franklin Roosevelt died in Warm Springs, Georgia. The photograph immediately below was taken on April 11 - the last taken of FDR. It's a blunt descriptor of the burdens of the Presidency - particularly in wartime.
The three illustrations below the last photo are memes published recently by the FDR Library. Almost seven decades after his passing, his words and achievements remain relevant.
