Moxie by Proxy is a feature of Main Street Moxie in which a historian or writer introduces us to the moxie of someone from the past. In this episode, we talk to local historian and educator Peter Vermilyea about the moxie of Eleanor Roosevelt.
Pete brings Eleanor to life and allows us to see how she shaped her life and reshaped the office of First Lady. He also talks about the importance of history, particularly local history, in understanding our world today and how he encourages his students to DO history and not just read about it.
For more information about Eleanor and Pete, check out our show notes at Main Street Moxie.
