A Chance to Harmonize
On Labor History Today: In 1934, as part of an effort to boost morale and encourage citizens to find community in their traditions, the Roosevelt administration sent artists to homesteads throughout the country to lead group activities—including listening to and making folk music.
On today’s show, a conversation centered around A Chance to Harmonize: How FDR’s Hidden Music Unit Sought to Save America from the Great Depression—One Song at a Time, a book by award-winning author and music scholar Sheryl Kaskowitz.
The event took place at the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College on October 16, 2024; our show today is excerpted from a longer video.
On this week’s Labor History in Two: Rose Schneiderman is born.
