“Equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity”

Eleanor Roosevelt was born in New York City in 1884 and a little more than a century later, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton helped dedicate sculptor Penelope Jencks’ “heroic scale” likeness. Located at the south entrance to Riverside Park, Roosevelt is shown half-seated, leaning against a boulder, one hand on her chin in contemplation. She’s surrounded by several inscriptions in granite, including one attributed to Roosevelt herself: “Where after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity.”
