In the midst of the worst economic disaster in US History, hope was being carried through the rural communities tucked amongst the rugged mountains of eastern Kentucky. The Pack Horse Library Project sent women on horseback through the most remote regions of the Cumberland Mountains to deliver reading materials to isolated homes and communities. The project gave hundreds of women their first taste of independence and purpose, and provided thousands of Appalachians their first glimpses into the world beyond Kentucky through the pages of books.

Rome of the Pacific! Geneva of the Pacific! A city that aspired to eclipse New York. What do Nordstrom, Whole Foods, H&M, Abercrombie & Fitch, Gap and Crate & Barrel have in common? Care to guess? They all have left, or are leaving, San Francisco! I asked my guest, Dr. Gray Brechin, if we are seeing the lowest of the low for San Francisco in its history? A categorical "yes" was his answer! He adds that the San Francisco of unforgettable songs by Tony Bennett and Journey is gone. Dr. Brechin tells the history of San Francisco, from its booms in mid-19th century to busts and booms again. He explains how the forests of Northern California were sacrificed to build San Francisco. We talk about the media moguls and industry magnates of San Francisco's past, who lived in and around the city and invested in it. He draws a distinction to the tech entrepreneurs of our time, who do not invest in San Francisco and are ahistorical. As for San Francisco's liberal culture and politics, did you know that the City's elite used to be Republican? DR. Brechin IS AN HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHER AND AUTHOR whose chief interests are the state of California, the environmental impact of cities upon their hinterlands, and the invisible landscape of New Deal public works. He is currently a visiting scholar in the U.C. Berkeley Department of Geography and founder and project scholar of The Living New Deal. He is a San Francisco Bay Area local, who in the 1980s worked as a  journalist and TV producer in San Francisco. He is the author of Imperial San Francisco: Urban Power, Earthly Ruin, a book that we discuss in this episode.  To learn more about Dr. Brechin, you can visit his website. I hope you enjoy this episode.

It's a hidden history right in front of our eyes. The buildings, artworks and so much more were created all over the country during the New Deal of the 1930s and 40s. To bring that hidden history to light, the online archive "The Living New Deal" documents those sites across the country. Jeffrey Brown has more for our arts and culture series, "CANVAS."

The third episode of American Compassion dives into the story of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, exploring who he was and focusing on how FDR, born to wealth and privilege, arrived at the empathetic outlook that guided and in many ways defined his presidency.    We investigate how small events allowed FDR to avoid dictatorship at a time when dictatorship was seen as a viable, even desirable response to the economic crises. And we tell the story of how by chance, by character, and by will, FDR and his administration, in their response to The Great Depression, also saved Democracy itself.    Through the incredible story of FDR's first 100 days in office, we show how the ideas of the New Deal and how the ideals of a collective social democracy were laced throughout all the New Deal programs, creating a new vision of America and its compassionate structures.   To tell these stories, we are joined by: Erine Gray, CEO of Findhelp.org; Jonathan Alter, author of, "The Defining Moment FDR's Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope;"  historian and biographer H.W. Brands, author of "American Colossus: the triumph of capitalism;" scholar Dana Cloud, author of "Reality Bites: Rhetoric and the Circulation of Truth Claims in U.S. Political Culture ;" and historical geographer and author Gray Brechin, founder project scholar of The Living New Deal at UC Berkeley.

Following 1929's famous stock market crash and its severe economic repercussions, the United States and the rest of the world were thrown into disarray. Unemployment grew and GDP fell, leaving the nation in poverty. To alleviate the effects of this crisis, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed the New Deal– legislation that would include public work projects, financial reforms, and regulations. Focusing on the three R's: relief for the unemployed and poor, recovery of the economy, and reform of the financial system, the New Deal was famous for its revolutionary agencies including the Works Progress Administration, Civilian Conservation Corps, Social Security Administration, and the Tennessee Valley Authority. To examine the modern day effects of the New Deal, the Living New Deal Project was formed, identifying the various New Deal projects that were initiated to create jobs and stimulate spending. The project's website includes a dynamic map, showing the spatial distribution of New Deal projects across the country, allowing for the site's visitors to see what landmarks in their communities have New Deal roots. To go into detail on the New Deal and the Living New Deal Project, we are joined by Dr. Richard Walker, Director of the Living New Deal Project and Professor Emeritus of Geography from the University of California Berkeley.

It’s nearly impossible to summarize the magnitude of the New Deal’s impact in the Bay Area. From the creation of Lake Anza, Woodminster Amphitheater, and Treasure Island to countless murals, schools, and other public amenities, federal funding dramatically transformed the local landscape and culture during the 1930s. President Roosevelt’s decision to invest in arts and infrastructure as a response to the Great Depression is one of the greatest success stories in the history of American politics. Could something on this scale ever happen again? As a new Democratic administration takes power amidst a crisis of unemployment and vast inequality, today’s episode explores the lessons of the New Deal with historians Gray Brechin and Harvey Smith of The Living New Deal, an organization dedicated to uncovering and preserving public works from this era. From airports to sewers, the legacy of the New Deal is still utilized by millions, even if the history connecting these crucial components of modern society has mostly been forgotten. Listen now to hear about how a trip to Berkeley’s rose garden inspired a lifelong obsession with “uncovering a lost civilization” – and why the New Deal is still such a controversial topic.

Richard Walker, director of the Living New Deal, joins us once again to talk about the lessons that we must learn from the original New Deal in order to successfully implement a Green New Deal. AOC has popularized the idea, but are progressive organizations up to the task? Only democratic socialists seem to have the grounded, class-war perspective necessary to pull off such a bold agenda and realign the U.S. political scene. *** To hear the entirety of this episode, become a patron of DPS Media: http://www.patreon.com/deadpundits *** -Richard Walker, "Nine principles that should guide the Green New Deal," https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/02/26/nine-principles-that-should-guide-green-new-deal/?utm_term=.9f0fd580726d -The Living New Deal bibliography: https://livingnewdeal.org/resources/new-deal-bibliography/ -Find all of our podcasts, videos, and articles: http://www.deadpundits.com ---------------------- Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/deadpundits Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/deadpunditssociety Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/deadpunditssociety YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHahv2fM9eH2K4TzmsWl_Xg

Joining us this week is Richard Walker, professor emeritus at UC-Berkeley and director of the Living New Deal. We discuss the legacy of the New Deal and address whether or not it can be said to have caused segregation. Did African Americans benefit from these policies? Does the allegedly racist nature of the New Deal and the way it is said to have excluded black workers mean that Bernie Sanders's invocation of it as a model for democratic socialism is flawed?
