Living New Deal
The Living New Deal aims to help preserve New Deal art and architecture from destruction or privatization, to see that New Deal sites are properly marked, and to help communities and families across the nation rediscover their heritage.
The mission of the Living New Deal is three-fold: research, presentation and education. It begins with the historical work of uncovering the immense riches of New Deal public works. That research is then made available to all through digital mapping and a website that serves as a clearinghouse for information on the New Deal. And, finally, the information gained from our work is disseminated as widely as possible through newsletters, social media, written media, interviews, lectures and other public events.
Gray Brechin is the founder of the Living New Deal and former Vice-President of the National New Deal Preservation Association. Gray regularly lectures around the country about the New Deal legacy. He is President of the Living New Deal non-profit board of directors.
