Scope and content
This floral tribute, inhabited by young people performing various kinds of work, was contributed to the July 22, 1939 Golden Jubilee Parade by the "National Youth Administration (NYA)." The program was a Works Progress Administration offshoot, heavily supported by Eleanor Roosevelt and intended to educate and start young people out in the workforce. Instituted in June of 1935, it covered youths ages 16-25. Those wishing to remain in school were given part-time jobs and those out of school were given on the job training. The program was abolished in 1943.
