If I discuss little bit about in chapter 14 says “layoffs and protests”

In 1936 There were a massive economic crisis than ever in 1933 when unemployment had fallen from 24.7 percent to below 17 percent so president Roosevelt made his first cut in July of WPA budget by 25 percent and federal one by third so most of the art projects were laid off and revived pink slips for different states such as New York Chicago and san Francisco.

A lot of protests worked out and responded to the laid off with a serious disruptive they took over the headquarter of the art projects for more than 200 protests pushing the chairs and the desks at the door at eight floor to keep police from entering also cut the phone wireless then the police arrived some were arrested after they fought

Actually when I go through and read all the chapters, I got the most important that I interested me. When Fleming who was black active man looking for a part time job to get pay all his needs about concern house hold and many black people were live in poverty they couldn’t even get their diets .he took decision how he can focus on and solve those problems as he explained one of his friend who used to live with him. Fleming was really feeling as he told to his friend and persuaded what he believed about the unbalanced administration. He surveyed the economic and racial because the black people didn’t have confidence at that time so they hated each other of resist cal fells, but really it was not that problem for Americans beside the economy. However, it was really good tried that were made by Eleanor Roosevelt to bring down the racial tension between the white and black. One quote explains that well and that is, " the black people liked Eleanor Roosevelt for her progressive racial views and made meeting both black and white people that invitation was that blacks regularly to the White House." this quotes explains how the Eleanor was trying hard to show that blacks had the same values as the white by inviting them to the White House.

The Fleming story was an interesting one that captured my attention. Fleming was a black man looking for a part time job to pay for his tuition and his bills. The discussion he had with his roommates about the racial tension and the impact of it was another problem for Americans beside the economy. However, the attempts that were made by Eleanor Roosevelt to bring down the racial tension between the white and black. One quote explains that well and that is, "They like Eleanor Roosevelt for her progressive racial views and for inviting blacks regularly to the White House."(300) This quotes explains how the Eleanor was trying hard to show that blacks had the same values as the white by inviting them to the White House.

CHAPTER SEVEN

In the beginning of this chapter, my mood was set about what it was going to be about. Many of the people like Thomas Fleming had jobs and were living good. They never thought anything would go wrong until the markets crashed. Everyone was devistated. No jobs and no money. There was only one option, the WPA. Many seeked relief from the depression as it swept across the country leaving a path of distruction.

I thought chapter eleven ONE NATION, ONE PLAY was the most interesting thing on the reading. This play it can't happen here was published by Sinclair Lewis and it was ati-fascist play. Especially, Germany and Italy had fascist dictators and some of the U.S individuals attempt to establsih fascism regimes in the U.S. alot of people like this play and most the nation was interesting eagerly. Hallie Flanagan later says, "Who thought up this idea , anyway. The idea was that in eighten cities nationwide" Eighten cities is a big number. therefore, I could not think any other play would be so interesting.
