Bound Away: The Liberty Journal of History

The West’s policy of containment would come to define the early years of the Cold War.

This article examines the pivotal role of Grace McCann Morley in promoting Latin American art in the United States during the era of the Good Neighbor Policy (1933).

Until she was about 30, when she was introduced to the organization through a neighbor, and was instantly intrigued by the service for the Bronx community.
