DESCRIPTION:The Unremitting War on Labor Art and History: The Trial of Refregier's 
 Murals at Rincon Annex to the Censorship of the Maine Murals 
 Today"\nFollowing his slim electoral victory in 2011, the Republican 
 Governor of Maine stripped a mural depicting Maine labor history from the 
 walls of Maine’s Labor Department building and hid it.  The mural 
 includes a depiction of Maine’s native daughter Frances Perkins, first 
 woman cabinet member, Secretary of Labor under all the terms of President 
 Franklin Roosevelt and  (among many other things) the person we can thank 
 for Social Security and unemployment insurance.  It also depicts the 
 industries of the state and scenes of working people.  This event will 
 include a live video appearance by the mural’s creator Judy Taylor, a 
 background on the Congressional attempt to destroy the New Deal murals at 
 San Francisco’s Rincon Annex Post Office, and some history of New Deal 
 public art programs.  Presentors are geographer Gray Brechin of the Living 
 New Deal Project and Harvey Smith of the National New Deal Preservation 
 Association.\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Berkeley City College 
 Social Science 
 Department.\nhttp://www.judytaylorstudio.com/levin.html\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/24/us/24lepage.html?scp=1&sq=Mural
