A New Deal Winter & Christmas: Children enjoy a WPA mural in Minneapolis

Above: Children enjoy a WPA mural depicting winter activities, at the Sidney Pratt School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, 1938. The school building still exists today, but it's unclear whether the mural does. All across America, in schools, libraries, hospitals, post offices, and other public buildings, New Deal artists painted murals to inspire and brighten the country.
