Historic Mural "The Meaning of Social Security"
"I feel that the whole Social Security idea is one of the real fruits of democracy. There may be some limitations to my powers of exposition, but at least it is my aim to make the mural a clear and feeling picture of Social Security, and, I hope, one that may be understood by average Americans."
- Ben Shahn Letter to Edward Bruce Section of Fine Arts and Painting July 14, 1941
