The previous year, in 1971, Chisholm, whose work included emphasis on helping the inner-city and educational reform, put her support behind a non-political figure, despite a name inspired by a former president: Roosevelt Franklin of Sesame Street. Chisholm was one of several entertainment, political, and educational figures who provided testimonials for the back cover of The Year of Roosevelt Franklin: “"Roosevelt Franklin" brings together children, black and white, fat and thin, shy and bold. They are natural children untouched by the polluted minds of adults. It is beautiful.”
