Very soon the “First 100 Days” of the new administration will begin; a now common benchmark used to judge the productivity of a President. In this session we will look the origin of “The First 100 Days.” Coined by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, we will look at his first 100 days in office, a period of intense legislative action that laid the foundation for the New Deal. We will learn how FDR’s bold and swift measures transformed the federal government’s role during the Great Depression, reshaping American society and setting a precedent for future administrations. We will look at key policies and examine how FDR’s approach to governance helped restore hope and set the stage for recovery.
