Kentucky residents may be interested in attending a series of discussions
about Kentucky life in the Great Depression sponsored by the Kentucky
Historical Society. The Great Depression started earlier and lasted longer
in Kentucky than it did in more urban states. Spend four evenings with noted
historians Tracy Campbell and David Hamilton in a series of lively
discussions about Kentucky life throughout the 1930s. The four topics to be
discussed are:

* "Kentucky during the Great Depression." Tracy Campbell begins the series
with a detailed look at the impact of the Great Depression on the
commonwealth. Thursday, April 8

* "Rural Life and the New Deal." David Hamilton shares how the New Deal
affected the lives of rural Kentuckians. Thursday, May 13

* "Franklin Roosevelt in Kentucky." Tracy Campbell returns to discuss the
public response to President Roosevelt's visit to Kentucky and his New Deal
policy. Thursday, June 10

* "Depression Diversions: 1930s Popular Culture." David Hamilton concludes
by exploring books, movies, music, and other aspects of cultural life in the
thirties. Thursday, July 8

Background reading materials will be provided and a Depression-era dessert
will be served at each session.

All sessions begin at 7 p.m. at the Kentucky History Center. The fee is $45
for members of the Kentucky Historical Society or $50 non-KHS members.
Preregistration and prepayment are required because attendance is limited.
You may register and pay with a credit card by calling Joanie DiMartino at
(502) 564-1792 ext. 4467.
