The Great Depression was a terrible time period in America, mostly people were poor since the stocks were crashing and they elected a terrible president. Like To Kill  a Mockingbird everybody was frustrated and had a lot of racism. luujenny101 https://padlet.com/luujenny101/Gr8depression/wish/132360637 2016-10-21 14:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/luujenny101/Gr8depression/wish/132360637 luujenny101 https://padlet.com/luujenny101/Gr8depression/wish/132361705 2016-10-21 14:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/luujenny101/Gr8depression/wish/132361705 Charlotte Hawkins Brown missshelby2002 https://padlet.com/luujenny101/Gr8depression/wish/132435730 Charlotte Hawkins Brown was born on June 11, 1883 in Henderson North Carolina .
