Edith Keeler ran the 21st Street Mission, a soup kitchen, in New York City during the Great Depression. She often spoke of a better future, in which Humans had harnessed nuclear power, built spacecraft to explore the galaxy, and solved the problems of hunger and poverty on Earth. When Dr. Leonard McCoy traveled back in time to 1930, he prevented her death from a traffic accident. Keeler soon founded a pacifist movement in response to the rise of fascism in Europe. On 23 February 1936, Keeler met with United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Her movement's influence delayed the entry of the United States of America into the Second World War, allowing the Nazis time to develop nuclear weapons that ensured their victory.[1]
