The racism during the Great Depression made a huge impact in African American lives. Many industries and businesses would refuse to hire someone in color.Furthermore, many African families would starve and become ill because of lack of nutrition. The image shows the normal living in the African culture during the depression. The government should've been more helpful and understanding among people that couldn't even afford food.}

_{In the 1930's it was one of the worst times for the Mexican Americans. A couple million people were deported from their homes under the Hoover administration. Many families were separated and caused a lot of outrage within the nation that caused many strikes.The video shows the struggles and impacts the Mexican people had to live during the depression. The government made a mistake destroying millions of peoples lives and families.}]]> 2020-03-17 02:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/119408/89glmtkxoq4y/wish/462540443 The result of the leadership 119408 https://padlet.com/119408/89glmtkxoq4y/wish/463566264 "_{Economic wounds must be healed by the action of the cells of the economic body" - Herbert Hoover

The leadership during the most vulnerable times for Americans failed it people. President Hoover made it more difficult for jobs to be available. He had no interest in helping the poverty that was escalating in the U.S. In the image, you can see a man carrying his family while heading to work A true description of life during the corruption and poverty in the 1930s.}]]> 2020-03-17 18:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/119408/89glmtkxoq4y/wish/463566264 Limited Labor 119408 https://padlet.com/119408/89glmtkxoq4y/wish/463602623 "_{As a young man, I lived through the Great Depression, when banks failed and so many lost their jobs and homes and went hungry. I was fortunate to have a job at a canning factory that paid 25 cents an hour."
-James E. Faust

Labor was the biggest concern during the Depression. Many healthy families would be denied jobs because of the lack of jobs available. Most men in their families would line up in the streets begging for labor. The image shows the magnitude of people desperate for jobs in the streets. The government should e held accountable for not providing more jobs for the people.}

_{The 2005 film shows the way a family lived during the depression. Without government aid and jobs available caused desperation among families. The quote represents the failure of the government in taking care of its people. The film also has a representation of the daily struggles and impacts faced everyday. The government should've done more to prevent further poverty among Americans.}]]> 2020-03-18 19:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/119408/89glmtkxoq4y/wish/465052653 Quaking conversation 119408 https://padlet.com/119408/89glmtkxoq4y/wish/466882600 "Men and women whose early youth was shaped in the ordeal of the Great Depression showed the values for me in that crucible when tyranny threatened a world."

-Steve Buyer

Many people don't get the life of the 1930s. Most people had to sacrifice many parts of their life just to keep their plates barley full. Most Americans wanted to have a conversation with their state leaders. Demanding more jobs and judical action toward crime escalating in cities. Because of corruption, crime escalated without punishment and taxes went up without vote. This poem gives a strong description of what Americans wanted to say during the 1930s.

Capitalism is ‘of the capitalist, for the capitalist."-Jerry Ash

The article below gives a description of life during the 1930s. It shows how racial identification and discrimination were the normal during these dark times. Families had to ask their children to help pay for bills. I learned that many business owners started paying lower salaries without even mentioning it to their employees. The government should take more responsibility for the cruel experiences people had to face in the 1930s. The economic drain and the racial discrimination made Americans feel hopeless.

While the leaders of government during the 1930s were profiting over poverty. Most Americans couldn't find jobs and were unable to pay monthly bills. Children had to mature in a early age to help support their family. The government took no responsibility during the depression, even though most decisions destroying the economy were made by nation leaders. The news article shows the magnitude of fear and hopelessness people had during their darkest economic time.]]> 2020-03-25 20:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/119408/89glmtkxoq4y/wish/475415389 Betrayal of Leaders 119408 https://padlet.com/119408/89glmtkxoq4y/wish/477412830 "Accumulation of wealth at one pole is at the same time accumulation of misery, agony of toil, slavery, ignorance, brutality, mental degradation, at the opposite pole." -Karl Marx

The early 1900's is known for one of Americas most darkest and vulnerable times in history. While most families were struggling to provide for their families other politicians and state authorities would give into fraud and crime. The police in streets would accept bribery that escalated crime within cities. The image below will show a perfect visual description of "normal life" as a state leader or authority. The federal government failed to investigate their state employees therefore helped to continue the downfall of the country.

Life in poverty during the 1920's was very common in the United States. While most people were struggling to find a job, others had hope in loans from the bank. When the great depression started the stock market went down so banks stopped giving loans to most people. People were trying to find a resolution for this depression, but without government help it seemed hopeless. After a few years of agony,state officials started making a few changes that benefited the common people. The government should've helped the common people in the beginning of the depression.]]> 2020-03-27 20:00:03 UTC https://padlet.com/119408/89glmtkxoq4y/wish/479100388
