Newspaper clipping reflec
Not long ago while
researching an item for genealogy,
I stumbled across an
old yellow newspaper clipping
that ventured to reflect
today’s struggling economy.
That long-forgotten, brittle
page offered a historical portrait
of America between
1933 and 1945, a period
that developed government
projects during the Great
Depression. By employing
3 million men nationwide,
it defined a president who
found a way to unite America.
