Conrad A. Albrizio “The New Deal”: Mural placed in the auditorium of the Leonardo Da Vinci Art School 149 East 34th Street New York New York

The years between the end of World War I and the beginning of World War II witnessed not only a dramatic contrast between the prosperity of the 1920s and the Great Depression of the 1930s, but also a fundamental reordering of America’s political system forged during Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. This course will examine the crisis and transformation of the American economy and political system during the 1920s and 1930s, and their impact on Americans of all walks of life.
