Voices from the Thirties
When the Great Depression struck, the federal government stepped in to create jobs for the unemployed, under the auspices of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Even unemployed writers were given jobs, as described on this Library of Congress site. Read about the Federal Writers' Project, including some samples of the writers' work, and then write an editorial about its importance.
