LND Events: Commemorating the New Deal’s Built Legacy

This month, we have co-organized several exciting events. Eighty years ago, San Franciscans, with the help of the Works Project Administration, realized a decades-old dream: building a palace for the people on the City’s northern waterfront. On Friday and Saturday, April 12-13, San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park, Friends of the Maritime Museum, and the Living New Deal salute that legacy with music and special events in the historic Aquatic Park Bathhouse (Maritime Museum). Find more about the Friday night gala here, and about Saturday events here. Earlier this month, the Living New Deal organized a table at the SF History Days, a weekend-long event paying tribute to the city’s heritage. LND Founder Gray Brechin held a talk at the event about the WPA model of San Francisco and the need for a city museum to give it a permanent home.
