The New Deal and Its Legacy in Santa Fe

Fri, Nov 13, 3:00 PM at 145 Washington Ave, Santa Fe, NM, 87501, US. Free.

Learn about the scope and contributions of the New Deal programs including specific buildings and artwork that remain in Santa Fe and Santa Fe County, including the downtown Main Library where this hour-long presentation will be held. A 30-minute Q&A session and book sale follows. Presenter Charles Swaney is a citizen historian who works with Living New Deal, a national organization with a New Mexico Chapter and a three-fold mission: “to document the extraordinary material contributions of the New Deal, 1933-1942, to every city, state and territory of the United States; to educate the American public about the New Deal and its long-term impacts; and to keep alive the New Deal vision of large-scale government programs to meet the nation’s challenges and serve the common people.” --------------------------------------------------------------- For accommodations related to disabilities, translation needs, or ASL interpretation, please email library@santafenm.gov or call the Library.
