By examining American art and artifacts from the museum's collection, this series promotes discussion of America's national character and heritage. All five lessons, developed by teams of teachers, are accompanied by reinforcement materials specifically designed to foster critical thinking skills. These programs may be scheduled individually.

America Enduring, the fourth lesson in this series, covers 1913-1945, an era which includes unprecedented prosperity, The Great Depression, ensuing social and political change during the inter-war period, and the reaction to European influence: Regionalism.
