THE FIRST US PRESIDENT To Appear On TELEVISION? #shorts #history

The first U.S. president to appear on television was Franklin D. Roosevelt. On April 30, 1939,
President Roosevelt made history by delivering a speech at the opening ceremony of the New
York World's Fair that was held in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, New York. This event was
televised, marking the first time a sitting U.S. president was seen on television. Although the
technology was still relatively new, the event provided an opportunity to showcase the potential of
television as a medium for reaching a broader audience. During his speech, President Roosevelt
spoke about the fair's theme, "Building the World of Tomorrow." He emphasized the importance of
progress, technology, and international cooperation.
