CLW History in Interesting Places

Random Friday fact...

While looking for petition images online, I just looked up "letter" in Wikipedia. And what is the sample "letter" image at the top of the page? A copy of the letter written by Albert Einstein and Council for a Livable World founder Leo Szilard to Franklin Roosevelt that helped start the Manhattan Project. Amazing stuff.

You can see the letter on the Wikipedia page here.

Or you can check out more about the Council's history and Szilard's work on our website.
