Caption OnlyL FDR Memorial to get new sculpture with wheelchair
The Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial in Washington, D.C., will soon get a sculpture of the former president in a wheelchair. The National Park Service will add the sculpture after protests from activists for the disabled that the memorial didn't recognize Roosevelt's disability. "In the 1920s and 1930s, if you were an invalid you were supposed to stay home. It was bad taste to be seen in public," said Hugh Gregory Gallagher, who wrote about Roosevelt's disability in "FDR's Splendid Deception."
