A Performance by Sheryl Faye
After suffering through an unhappy childhood and losing a parent and her brother, she figured out where she fit in and could make a difference. She grew up and became an American politician. She was the longest serving First Lady of the United States where she advocated for expanded roles for women in the workplace, the civil rights of African and Asian Americans, and the rights of World War II refugees. She became one of the first delegates to the United Nations and was one of the top ten most admired people of the 20th century. Cost: Free
