Franklin D. Roosevelt Campaign Booklet, "This Generation Has a Rendezvous with Destiny," 1936

President Franklin Roosevelt declared, during his renomination acceptance speech at the 1936 Democratic National Convention, that the generation of Depression-era Americans had "a rendezvous with destiny." This pronouncement became the title of this campaign brochure. The booklet touted the economic and social progress of the American people during Roosevelt's first term, highlighting the achievements of the alphabet agencies his administration created.
