[On May 6th,
1935, Franklin Roosevelt estab-lished the Works
Progress Administration [WPA]. So this week I’ll AmericanStudy a
handful of WPA histories, leading up to a weekend post on why we need a 21st
century revival!]
After I
began drafting this blog series (inside baseball incoming for how long in advance
I often draft blog series!), I decided to dedicate one of my Saturday
Evening Post Considering History columns
to federal workers under the New Deal, including a good bit of focus on the
WPA. I’d love for you all to check that column out, so I’ll offer that
hyperlink in lieu of today’s post and see you tomorrow for more WPA Studying!
Next WPA
post tomorrow,
Ben
PS. What
do you think?
