We Hold These Truths
par
“We Hold These Truths” is a radio address associated with the public observance of the Bill of Rights’ 150th anniversary. President Franklin D. Roosevelt speaks about the principles of American democracy and the freedoms protected by the first ten amendments to the Constitution.
The program is a formal, historically grounded broadcast rather than a dramatic serial: its focus is Roosevelt’s spoken message and the civic ideals it presents. Listeners hear a moment of wartime public communication shaped around constitutional rights, national unity, and the responsibilities of democratic citizenship.
