Ninety years ago, on October 24 (Black Tuesday), the U.S. stock market crashed. The results were catastrophic for Americans in the next decade. A series
of droughts and dust storms worsened the situation in the southwest, and hundreds of thousands of people headed for California. Together, we will explore the timeline and events of this era. Through words, photos and music (from Bing Crosby to Woody Guthrie), we will explore how lives were affected by these struggles. This class is highly interactive and student participation is strongly valued.
