This day doesn’t look like much in history. You never have to memorize it for a test, and it’s of no consequence unless it happens to be your birthday, as it was for Marie Curie, a nuclear chemist, or Billy Graham, an evangelist and personal friend to Bob Jones Sr. To our country, this day began the fourth and final term of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the thirty-second president of the United States. He had been president since 1932, won by a landslide all four times, and provided some much-needed stability during the first part of WWII. He had polio and was confined to a wheelchair for his entire presidency of 12 years and 3 months. Unfortunately, he died in office on April 12, 1945, leaving Harry S. Truman to assume the presidency and finish WWII on September 2, 1845.
