Source Description

This is a sound recording of President Roosevelt's address on accepting the Four Freedoms Award, presented by the Italian-American Labor Council. In it, he said: "The American Army - including thousands of Americans of Italian descent - entered Italy not as conquerors, but as liberators. Their objective is military, not political. When that military objective is accomplished - and much of it has not yet been accomplished - the Italian people will be free to work out their own destiny, under a government of their own choosing."
