Hot Dog! Eleanor Roosevelt Throws a Picnic, by Leslie Kimmelman
When the first official visit by a British royal to the United States since independence is scheduled in 1939, Eleanor Roosevelt hosts an all-American picnic. Fancy White House dinners for heads of state usually are too formal to allow for hot dogs on the menu, but for the first lady, the iconic American sausage is a favorite. Undeterred by the scathing commentary from across the country, Eleanor persists, creating a memorable afternoon that launches a long-lasting relationship between the once-warring nations—especially important during this period of impending war and economic upheaval.

History Grand View is about to undergo modernization. Did you know that Grand View was built in 1939, one of 5,900 schools built by the WPA? The WPA was an American New Deal agency, employing millions of skilled and unskilled job-seekers to carry out public works projects, including creating parks, and building roads, bridges, schools, and other public structures. The WPA was established on May 6, 1935, by Executive Order 7034, signed by President Roosevelt. The WPA's initial appropriation in 1935 was for $4.9 billion --in today's dollars that's about $90 billion. By comparison, The current administration has authorized four coronavirus stimulus packages totaling $2.4 trillion.
