SUMMARY:The Great Depression Lecture Series - "Strike! Workers\, Unions\, and the Labor Movement in Town and Country"
DESCRIPTION:The Great Depression Lecture Series – “Strike! Workers\, Unions\, and the Labor Movement in Town and Country”\nMay 6 | 6:00PM\nWood County Museum Meeting Room\nFREE \nDuring the Great Depression\, American workers\, saddled with increasingly depressed wages and harsh working conditions\, demanded adequate pay and safe workplaces. To bring companies and government agencies to the bargaining table\, workers leaned on collective action as a means to secure victories. In both town and country\, they formed unions and initiated strikes to gain concessions. These actions\, however\, were often met with contention and\, in some cases\, led to violence. In this lecture\, we will examine the union campaigns that swept the nation during the Great Depression and how New Deal administrators responded. More specifically\, we will highlight how Northwest Ohio came to embody the united dismay felt by both urban and rural workers in their fight for unionization. \nThis is the fifth installment in the Great Depression Lecture Series\, an America 250 program. This is a Wood County Park District lead event\, in partnership with the Wood County Museum.

SUMMARY:The Great Depression Lecture Series - "Land of Our Own? Sharecroppers and Tenant Farmers in the Great Depression"
DESCRIPTION:The Great Depression Lecture Series – “Land of Our Own? Sharecroppers and Tenant Farmers in the Great Depression”\nAugust 5 | 6:00PM\nWood County Museum Meeting Room\nFREE \nA core tenet of the New Deal was to improve the economic standing of the nation’s farmers who had suffered from depressed commodity prices since the 1920s. Yet\, the implementation of these programs was often skewed solely toward landowners. For the millions of non-landowning farmers—sharecroppers\, tenant farmers\, and farmworkers—there existed little to no avenues for assistance. Consequently\, a debilitating cycle of debt\, evictions\, and displacements continued to plague this foundational section of American society. In the eighth installment of the Great Depression Lecture Series\, we will examine the conditions afflicting these non-landowning farmers and how the New Deal failed to mitigate their suffering. \nThis is the eighth installment in the Great Depression Lecture Series\, an America 250 program. This is a Wood County Park District lead event\, in partnership with the Wood County Museum.

SUMMARY:America250 Lecture Series – Sports in the Shadow of World War II
