United Nations and New Deal Discussion | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

70 years ago the United Nations Charter was signed in San Francisco, one of the most significant, and forgotten, moments in local history. How did the it relate to the 1939 Treasure Island world’s fair, and why was its HQ not built in San Francisco or Marin as planned? The UN was the last of President Roosevelt’s attempts to extend his New Deal to the world. Dr. Gray Brechin examines what has happened to the UN in a new century of perpetual war.
