This series of 1930s New Deal films gives us a picture of
federal efforts that
improved lives of Americans during the
Great Depression. Tonight,
the first film shows New Deal artists at
work in Post Offices
and many public buildings. They include
Bernard Zakheim's Coit Tower
murals and other New Deal artists
who were interviewed
when they were alive. Many became
famous in later
years.
The 2nd film
is about hope for the future and building community
And shows people
engaged in cooperative farming in Texas
and
Alaska, building new homes, and their
experience with rural
electrification. Dick
Powell sings the grand finale.
