Eleanor Roosevelt is shown here on her way into the Faculty Club at Howard University in Washington, D.C., a campus that was then the country's leading institution for Black higher education. The photograph dates to about 1936, when she was often seen at events hosted by Black colleges and organizations, a visible sign of the friendships she built with African American leaders during the New Deal years. Her willingness to appear at Howard, which had a faculty that included many prominent scholars, drew attention at a time when segregation shaped nearly every public space in the capital.
