FDR and Fala, his Scottish Terrier. Some issues arose with this monument over showing the wheel chair, the fact that FDR tried to cover his disability. Look behind him and the casters to the wheel chair are visible. Part of this plaza shows the bread lines that were common during the Great Depression. Much debate on how his handling of that issue went.

On 9/11 we went to Hyde Park to the FDR Museum (where there was a lot of material about the Pearl Harbor attack --which seemed unusually appropriate that day.) This is a recreation of FDR's home office. His mother had a large portrait of herself done for a prominent display there. How thoughtful of her!
