Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Access to this collection is generously supported by Haynes Foundation funds. President Franklin D. Roosevelt stands at a podium while delivering a speech in Balboa Stadium. The platform he stands upon is lined by a railing decorated with patriotic bunting and a flag. The flag hangs in front of the lectern. Behind the lectern, President Roosevelt stands, off-center to the left. He looks up as he raises one arm in the air. Behind him at left, a few military officers stand and clap their hands. Standing behind President Roosevelt at right, are, from left to right, Mayor Percy Benbough, Eleanor Roosevelt, and an unknown woman (possibly Grace Benbough?). Mayor Benbough claps his hands and the 2 women stand side-by-side beneath an American Flag. American flags and patriotic bunting surround the platform and decorate the stadium's colonnade, which stretches across the background.
