The Great Depression Lecture Series: The New Deal Challenged: National Political Dissent in a Changing Nation

In myriad ways, the Great Depression fundamentally challenged the nation’s established institutional and political norms. For many, the question is how best to mitigate the unprecedented economic crisis, centered on scope and philosophy. However, for some, the conditions necessitated a more radical program. In the seventh installment of the Great Depression Lecture Series, we will examine the left-and right-wing challenges to the New Deal and the individuals who sought to undermine it.

This is the seventh installment in the Great Depression Lecture Series, an America 250 program. This is a Wood County Park District-led event, in partnership with the Wood County Museum.
