Eleanor Roosevelt at a dance at the Washington Labor Canteen in DC, February 1944. Congressman Charles McKenzie (D-La) was "shocked" and "stunned" to see Whites dancing with Blacks. Eleanor told him, essentially, to grow up (Assoc. Press, Feb. 17, 1944). #History
Today, FDR & the New Deal are often scolded for not doing enough for African Americans, but southern newspapers denounced them for attacking segregation & white supremacy. E.g., see this editorial excerpt from the Southern Watchman (Greensboro, AL), 6-26-1943, p. 4. #History
I'm so honored that my #FDR book "Taming the Street" was a finalist in the 2023 @LivingNewDeal book awards! Kudos to the two co-winners, Brooke Blower and Janneken Smucker. For more about all the great finalists and winners: tinyurl.com/ybmhsxnp
Nellie Tayloe Ross was the longest-serving director of the U.S. Mint, 1933-1953, & an important figure in New Deal history. See our brief biography of Ross here: livingnewdeal.org/glossary/nelli… (Image from Wikimedia.) #history #women @usmint
Across the U.S., the WPA offered free art classes for children, & also exhibited their art. This gave unemployed artists a chance to earn some money, as teachers, & also helped develop creativity in children. But many people thought the WPA was a waste of taxpayer money. #art
The New Deal provided funds for the construction of the Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston, Texas, 1936-1937. In later decades, the Coliseum would host concerts by Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin, James Brown, The Doors, and many more. #History #music @music_landmarks @DavisASheryl
Our 2023 book award winners! livingnewdeal.org/media-referenc… And thanks to all the nominees for writing their books and adding to New Deal, FDR & related scholarship & history! #History #books #booksWorthReading @HistoryBU @JannekenSmucker
The New Deal helped 100,000's of African Americans with WPA literacy courses; new education bldgs; & financial assistance from the NYA for high school, college, & graduate students. What impact did these education projects have on the growing Civil Rights Movement? #history
The New Deal created the foundation of a good retirement: Social Security; union protections (thus, better wages, savings, & fixed pension plans); & the 30-yr. mortgage (more home ownership / equity). Has trickle-down delivered the same? cnn.com/2024/04/02/eco… #retirement
A record # of renters can't afford a house: npr.org/2024/01/25/122… New Deal & FDR policies, e.g., unions (i.e., higher wages), infrastructure, G.I. Bill, & the 30-year mortgage, helped fuel a dramatic rise in home ownership post-WW2. More New Deal & FDR please! #History
The New Deal returned land to American Indians; created a CCC Indian Division; promoted Indian arts, crafts, & dance; improved healthcare; facilitated self-government; & shifted away from the dreaded boarding schools. Have we picked up where the New Deal left off? #history
At the 1939 N.Y. World's Fair, the WPA had multicultural exhibits & performances. Since the fair was billed as, "The World of Tomorrow," do you think the WPA was trying to teach or tell us something? The value of multiculturalism: accsc.ca/Blog/13205153 #History #NewYork
The New Deal created the Indian Arts & Crafts Board (IACB) in 1935 to promote Indian Art, & protect it from counterfeiting. livingnewdeal.org/glossary/india… The IACB also operates 3 museums: Sioux Indian Museum, Museum of the Plains Indian, & Southern Plains Indian Museum. #museum
The WPA-built "Knox County Crippled Children's Hospital" has grown into the large & modern East Tennessee Children's Hospital. From the beginning, it has been racially and economically inclusive: etch.com/about-us/histo… etch.com/about-us/ #History #HealthcareForAll
"Island Dock Yard," Karl Fortess, New Deal's Public Works of Art Project, 1934 (Smithsonian). Fortess was born in 1907, was an artillery sergeant in WW2, fought at Normandy on D-Day, taught at Boston Univ. for 22 years, & died in 1993 (Poughkeepsie Journal, 7-14-93, p 2B). #art
This is a fantastic contribution from your student! And it highlights a type of CCC work that is not well-known - search & rescue. The CCC helped find flood victims, cleared snow in emergencies, and in one instance found an injured parachutist and took him to the hospital.

An ambitious & important project by @D__Hutchinson & his students! The New Deal's contribution to victory in WW2 was colossal, but is not well-recognized: Ships, airports, military base improvements, CCC veterans-into-NCO's, NYA-trained Rosie-the-Riveters, & LOTS more.

The New Deal created the foundation of a good retirement: Social Security; union protections (thus, better wages, savings, & fixed pension plans); & the 30-yr. mortgage (more home ownership / equity). Has trickle-down delivered the same? cnn.com/2024/04/02/eco… #retirement
