Wednesday, February 10
6 p.m.

Elizabeth Clemens, author of The Works Progress Administration in Detroit, will discuss the agency, which was created to put the unemployed to work, and how they built schools and libraries, provided clothing and shelter, and enriched the lives of Detroiters through literacy, health, and educational programs. It also brought art, theater and music to the masses through groundbreaking cultural programs, helping to create the infrastructure that enabled Detroit to develop into the “Arsenal of Democracy” and eventually, into one of America’s greatest cities.
