One of the best known agencies from the Great Depression was the WPA, or Works Progress Administration (”Work Projects Administration” after 1939). The reach of the WPA projects is legendary–from bridges to stream improvements to roads to arts, crafts and writing projects. The WPA even thought about holiday planning.
Today’s blog photograph (taken circa 1940) captures Leonard Jungwirth as he works on his WPA statue of Father Gabriel Richard.
