The Making of America: Volume 2
Susan B. Anthony, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Thurgood Marshall

Unlike other biographies, the Making of America series goes beyond individual narratives linking influential figures to create an overarching story of America's growth that will deepen understanding of the country we live in today. This bundle featuring Susan B. Anthony, Thurgood Marshall, and Franklin D. Roosevelt focuses on some of the most notable names in equality and voting rights in America. Listeners will begin by learning about the life of America's famous suffragette, Susan B. Anthony. Born into a world in which men ruled women, she made it her life's work to change the law so that women could have a voice. Next, we will take a look at America's 32nd president, Franklin D. Roosevelt. The longest-serving U.S. president, he redefined the role of the U.S. government. Finally, we will explore the life and contributions of Thurgood Marshall, a lawyer who advocated for equality for all Americans. Each historical figure discussed in this bundle made an everlasting impact on America's trajectory, and their contributions can be seen in almost every facet of our daily lives.
