Although the current recession is not as severe as the Great Depression of the 1930s, many people are looking back to those days of unprecedented government intervention in the economy. President Franklin Roosevelt introduced programs to put people back to work, mostly in construction jobs, improving roads, bridges and schools. But artists were also part of the government programs, and some of the works they created are now on display at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, as VOA's Susan Logue reports.
