Franklin cared about this as much as eleanor did. [laughter] in fact, his letter is almost kind of facetious. I think he said Something Like the president was like he said maam, i dont mean to i dont you to think you have to develop, build a new dorm for this young colored lady or Something Like that but when you get a chance get a dean to write about this situation. Well, he was going through the motions because eleanor was leaning on him in pol polly behf so she didnt get to go. She went to the university of california berkeley. But she did she did act. You know, she tried to move things where she could. Okay. Theres another case ill mention of 50 soldiers, still im sorry, seamen who were courtmartials and polly field it was unfair.
