Walt Disney started the first Mickey Mouse Club in the early 1930's, as
the Great Depression started to take hold, crippling the American
economy. Parents faced the very real prospect of unemployment and
dramatic wage cuts with little or no time for their children as they
tried to supplement their income. Walt Disney believed his Mickey Mouse
Clubs now had a deep responsibility to teach these young children life
lessons: moral values, honesty, intergrity, compassion and patriotism.
Working with local schools and Parent-Teacher Associations, these clubs
became a proud mainstay in their communities. At the height of their
popularity, Mickey Mouse Clubs had millions of American children
enrolled. Read about this fascinating piece of lost American history
with numerous rare photographs
