Besides basic construction works, the WPA (Works Project Administration, 1935)hired artists to paint murals in public buildings, and writers to prepare guide books of states and areas of interest to the public. In the South, authors were sent out to interview people about what they recalled about slavery. Plays were performed in areas where people had never seen live entertainment.
