For those who live in New York City or visit who are unaware, there is a wonderful statue of the great humanitarian Eleanor Roosevelt on West 72nd Street and Broadway, adjoining an entrance to Riverside Park. It was made by sculptor Penelope Jencks. See
www.riversideparkfund.org/visit/eleanor-roosevelt-monument to see a photo of this statue and some discussion of Eleanor Roosevelt and how this memorial was created.
