Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945),

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, also known as FDR, was the 32nd
president of the United States, serving from 1933 until his
death in 1945.

He is the longest-serving U.S. president and the only one to
have served more than two terms.

On April 12, at the Little White House, he sat for a portrait by
painter Elizabeth Shoumatoff. He told Shoumatoff, "I have a
terrific headache."

At 3:35 p.m. that day, his doctor Howard Bruenn diagnosed
a massive intracerebral hemorrhage and pronounced him
dead at age 63.

Elected in 1964, Patsy T. Mink was sworn in on January 4, 1965,
as the first Asian – American woman and first woman of color
to serve in the U.S. Congress.

Throughout her career, the U.S. representative for Hawaii was
a strong supporter of civil and women’s rights, as well as an
advocate for children, labor unions and education.

Serving as a member of the Committee for Education and Labor,
Mink was vocal in her opposition to the Vietnam War and was
a supporter of a national daycare system, Head Start and the
Women’s Educational Equity Act.

She was again elected to Congress in 1990, serving until her
death at age 74 in 2002. Soon after her death, Title IX was
renamed the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education
Act.
