How a COVID-era Federal Writers Project went from wild idea to a proposed bill

Print
David Kipen is pretty sure the idea for a modern-day Federal Writers Project came to him at dawn.
It was early in the devastating spring of 2020 and the former literature director of the National Endowment for the Arts
was thinking of his friends who’d died of COVID-19, a handful of the more than 578,000 people killed by the virus in the United States to date.

Columbia Journalism Reviewexplains, even with more than a little exceptionalist jingo to its work, the FWP produced reporting that filled in enormous gaps in the country s understanding of itself, including interviews with still-living people who were once enslaved.
The guidebooks weren’t the end of the project’s output: it commissioned hundreds of other works, from oral histories to ethnographies and collections of folklore. One staffer went on assignment to Puerto Rico, reporting back on the rise of fascism there. In Wisconsin, members of the Oneida Nation were employed to record the language and history of their community. In the course of their guidebook work, writers in various states spoke with formerly enslaved people, and their interviews inspired a separate ....
