How did Charlotteans of the 1930s deal with sudden economic contraction and a prolonged depression? As businesses failed and personal fortunes were wiped out, the people of Mecklenburg County nevertheless organized themselves to address the crisis and to plan for future growth.

Thomas Cole, librarian at the Carolina Room of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library explores this topic. Part of the Explore History! Series co-sponsored by the Museum and The Duke Mansion.

Free to attend.
