The images were so popular that the War Department used them for fund-raising purposes. The phrase ?the Four Freedoms? was borrowed from the 1941 State of the Union address by President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945), where he declared that all people have an innate right to these freedoms, even in the face of dictatorships.
