Vanka Lectures

The SPMMV invites the public to attend the first of this year’s Vanka Lectures, a speaker series featuring local authors, artists, historians and more. On March 22, Michael Cary, Tim Kelly and Margaret Power, authors of “Hope in Hard Times: Norvelt and the Struggle for Community during the Great Depression,” will focus on the similarities between the history of Norvelt, the small New Deal community in Westmoreland County, and that of the Millvale Murals. http://vankamurals.org/speaker-series/
