USPS Franklin D Roosevelt's Four Freedoms by Norman Rockwell and WWIi era Stamps

USPS in 1994 depicted Franklin D Roosevelt's Four Freedoms painted by American artist Norman Rockwell. The series was famously illustrated for Saturday Evening Post in 1943, which traveled across the United States to promote war bonds. 

President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) outlined the FOUR FREEDOMS in his State of the Union Address to Congress on 6 January 1941.

FDR defined these fundamental rights as essential for people everywhere in the world:

• Freedom of speech and expression

• Freedom of worship (every person's right to worship God in their own way)

• Freedom from want (economic understandings for a healthy peacetime life)

• Freedom from fear (a worldwide reduction of armaments to stop physical aggression)

Roosevelt used the speech to challenge American isolationism and build support for aiding Great Britain and other Allied nations fighting the Axis powers in World War II.

These principles influenced the Atlantic Charter in 1941, the United Nations Declaration in 1942, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, which was championed by Eleanor Roosevelt.
