Uploaded by TopekaLibrary on Apr 25, 2011
For week 19 of our Kansas sesquicentennial series we're taking a closer look at our WPA Art Collection.
It's been 76 years since the Works Progress Administration was established by Congress on May 6, 1935. This New Deal agency created by order of President Roosevelt provided jobs and income to almost 8 million unemployed people during the Great Depression (1929-1939). WPA projects included not only building roads, bridges and buildings but also large arts, drama, media and literacy initiatives.
