​The author's grandfather, William Metz, was a political photographer from Presidents Taft through Truman, but also often accompanied Eleanor Roosevelt to conventions, taking pictures. "I also personally knew her well enough to have her NY private phone number," says the author. In this photo, her grandfather is the only man onstage with a group of women, including Eleanor Roosevelt (at the podium). Photo courtesy of Lois Greene Stone.
