If you are interested in American History, I have a fun upcoming event for you.

The Trussville Historical Society and Trussville City Schools have landed a major coup with the only southeastern U.S. showing of For A Better America: The New Deal on Film. This film festival is produced byy the National Archives and Records Administration and commemorates the 75th anniversary of the New Deal.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, February 28th and Sunday, March 1st.

You will get a one of a kind opportunity to watch black and white documentary films created during the 1930s, mostly by the Roosevelt administration, to explain the policies and philosophies of the various Government programs.

It will be held in the Performing Arts Center at the Hewitt-Trussville High School (6450 Husky Parkway – I-59 Exit 143 – Deerfoot Parkway.) On Saturday, the event begins at 10:00 a.m. On Sunday, it begins at 1 p.m.

General admission is $10.

Concessions will be available.
