About this Event

The New Deal, a series of programs and reforms enacted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt between 1933 and 1938 in response to the Great Depression, had a significant impact on Tennessee, particularly through the establishment of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the Works Progress Administration (WPA), rural electrification, and the establishment and development of state parks shaped the economy and landscape dramatically. In these four sessions, Dr. Carole Bucy will provide an overview of the New Deal and examine its effects on each of the three Grand Divisions.

Speaker Dr. Carole Bucy has been recently named Distinguished University Professor at Cumberland University, after a long career as a history professor at Volunteer State Community College. She also serves in the honorary position of Davidson County Historian. She holds degrees in history from Baylor University, George Peabody College, and Vanderbilt University where she earned her PhD in US history. As a longtime advocate for local and state history, she is a regular speaker on Tennessee and Nashville history in all parts of the state.
