The Resettlement Administration was created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935 during the Great Depression to establish homesteads to improve living conditions. In this NEW lesson, students will learn about this agency from author @SKaskowitz: https://t.co/eMWHSRyPQS.

“The first full-length study of one of the New Deal’s most ambitious cultural initiatives. A CHANCE TO HARMONIZE offers a corrective to the male-dominated narratives of the folk-song field,” writes @WSJBooks in its review of the new book by @SKaskowitz. 🪕https://t.co/HSJJx85yHD

Rexford G. Tugwell—even conservative critics of the New Deal who liked to call him "Rex the Red" couldn't deny that he was the "handsomest of the Brain Trusters."

[Clare Walker @ClareWalker10]

It’s been an adventure and a joy to make this documentary about folk song collector Sidney Robertson Cowell with @RhiannonGiddens and the help of wonderful and generous researchers @AranSongs @SKaskowitz Cathy Hiebert Kerst, Jim Leary and Robert Cochrane: https://t.co/AGIXqt3MHb

Loved this! Especially: “the ethics were collective. They were about creating a real civilization, a society in which everybody played a role. You know, that's what democracy is all about.”

@JoannaSilver73 But it sort of makes current happenings make sense, that they don’t mess around & shouldn’t be messed with.

Apropos of nothing, has anyone else noticed how fierce the National Archives logo is? That angry eagle's wing is at a weird angle for flying but perfect for smacking someone trying to steal its stuff.
