Father Charles E. Coughlin __ Learn about the "Radio Priest." "He began as an early Roosevelt supporter, coining a famous expression, that the nation's choice was between "Roosevelt or ruin." Later in the 1930s he turned against FDR and became one of the president's harshest critics. His program of "social justice" was a very radical challenge to capitalism and to many of the political institutions of his day." - illustrated - From Social Security Administration - http://www.ssa.gov/history/cough.html
Federal Cultural Policies of the 1930s __ The opening paragraph is the best
explanation of the material. "Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal cultural
programs marked the U.S. government's first big, direct investment in cultural
development. In many ways, they present a mirror image of today's federal policy
picture: their goals were clearly stated and democratic; they supported
activities not already subsidized by private sector patrons, rather than
following private patrons' leads; and they emphasized the interrelatedness of
culture with all aspects of life, not the separateness of a rarefied art world."
