@ashleytheebarroness: Replying to @Anansi Stones I don’t think enough people appreciate how unbelievably messy historical figures actually were. We put them on money. We build monuments. Then you read their personal lives and realize… These people would’ve kept TMZ in business. #presidentialdrama #fdr #americanhistory #historytok #fyp
Eleanor had a long-term relationship with Pauli Murray, the black queer civil rights leader who wrote the argument for Brown vs Bd of Ed. The Firebrand and The First Lady by Patricia Bell-Scott.

Eleonore Roosevelt should have been our president instead. The woman was brilliant and fearless.

I think later in their lives, they knew about each other's other(s) and just accepted it.

If Eleanor was a lesbian, I doubt very seriously she gave a damn who he was sleeping with as long as it wasn't her.

I had a history teacher that taught the class like this. She gossiped about history we never had to open a book and even the guys in the class looked forward to her class. She made me love history.
