On 6 January 1941,President Franklin Delano Roosevelt articulated the Four Freedoms in the State of the Union. In this Four Freedoms Speech, he unfolded the fundamental freedoms that people "everywhere in the world" should enjoy; freedom of speech, freedom of religion and belief, freedom from fear and freedom from want and distress.
With the end of the Battle of the Scheldt and the opening of the ports of Antwerp, the end of the war in Western Europe was in sight, Roosevelt was able to launch his plans for the creation of the United Nations (UN) at Yalta in January 1945.After his death, the Four Freedoms became part of his widow Eleanor Roosevelt's personal mission. They formed the basis for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN in 1948.
Oud-Vossemeer enjoys fame because probably the president's ancestors came from this place.
