Public Symposium: Lessons for Rebuilding New Orleans and the Gulf Coast: The Marshall Plan and the Reconstruction of Postwar Europe.

Friday, April 21 from 11am to 4pm at the National D-Day Museum.

After WWII, the U.S. created The Marshall Plan, a visionary program to rebuild and restore the war-town cities and economy of Europe with a combination of emergency aid, creative financing and exchange programs.

Renowned international scholars and members of the LA. Recovery Authority discuss the Marshall Plan as a model for today. The symposium is free and open to the public but pre-registration is required by April 17.

Call 527-6012, ext. 260
or email bill.detweiler@ddaymuseum.org.

A special exhibition on The Marshall Plan, loaned by the U.S. Dept. of State, will premiere the same day and will remain on view through May 20. It is all part of the opening celebration of E.J. Ourso Discovery Hall, the Museum’s new education and exhibition center.
