    The 20-cent commemorative stamp honoring Eleanor Roosevelt was issued October 11, 1984, at Hyde Park, New York. The First Day Ceremony was held at Val-Kill, the home where Mrs. Roosevelt resided during the last years of her life.
    Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, had a long and distinguished career of public service centering around the United Nations and human rights causes. During her husband's four terms in the White House, she became the country's most active first lady, fighting for measures to aid minorities and the underprivileged.
