Franklin Roosevelt is said to have explained Al Smith, and his own New Deal, with these words: "Practically all the things we\'ve done in the federal government are the things Al Smith did as governor of New York." Smith, who ran for president in 1928, not only set the model for FDR, he also taught America that the promise of the country extends to everyone and no one should be left behind.
A child of second-genera.
The story of this trailblazer is the story of America in the twentieth century.
