Franklin D. Roosevelt waves to the crowd as his motorcade passes by. Part of the day long celebration of the dedication of Chicago's Outer Drive Bridge, this image from the motorcade shows Roosevelt seated next to a Catholic priest. Roosevelt, the thirty-second president of the United States (1933-1945), was elected to four consecutive terms, instituted "New Deal" legislation to help pull the country out of the Great Depression, and led the country through the Second World War.
