If there were a national LGBTQ history museum, would it really make sense to include the former first lady? We asked one of her biographers.

Both sides of the correspondence are at the Roosevelt library in Hyde Park. That was what my book is based on, is these 3,000 letters. And they are very full of, particularly in the first two, maybe three years, longing and affection and needing each other, wanting to be with each other. Sometimes they wrote twice a day.There’s no doubt that it was a very important relationship to both of them. Of course, none of this could be openly talked about. So at the time, people knew and didn’t know.

Well, there was no community identified as LGBTQ, any of those categories. It just was not talked about. No one was talking about lesbians, except maybe in a few very kind of far-out circles in Greenwich Village and such places. So that didn’t come up. But I do think that they helped each other to be more tolerant and accept things. Hick was writing about the South and about the condition of Blacks in the New Deal programs.
