Post Office Murals and New Deal Art

There is a new stamp from the United States Post Office that celebrates post office murals. The presentation discusses these, and a few examples from West Florida post offices will be shown. The murals were created throughout the United States as part of a New Deal program to provide work for artists in the late 1930s.
