He was a hungarian and translated captions for stories sent by war correspondents. No it does not.This photo was taken during the time when the dust bowl was rampant, people had to protect themselves from the dust storms.This shows us just how far people were willing to go to stay safe from the dust.This photo does portray a reality that is contrary to our popular belief because we dont think much of dust but it is very dangerous as shown in this photo.

Underhill is best known for their commercial photographs of New York City throughout the first half of the 20th century. During this time, the entire country was suffering from The Great Depression. The Great Depression took a toll on people’s moral as people fell into economic depression because it was a struggle to keep jobs, homes, and make money. The photo is impacting because the Broadway lights continued to shine in Times Square during this dark time for people. For the people who were suffering, seeing the Broadway lights shine gave them hope that life will get better. This photo means a lot to me as it was a sign of hope. We tend to take things for granted this day in age and little things like city lights had a big meaning for people who were suffering.

During the 1930's things were a very harsh and cruel time for American Citizens. The great depression was occurring as a stock market crash sent us into a recession that took us many years to get out of. At the time music was used as a source to have a way out of the depressing daily lifestyle. Music was used to cheer people up for a cheap price, jukeboxes were invented. ]]> 2017-12-12 17:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215517945 JEWS flee to America 20190314 https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215518580 This information does not change how i view the image since BETTMANN/CORBIS have a wide variety of historical photographs from multiple different perspectives of societal events

At this time hitler began to take control in nazi germany and Jews began to flee germany out of fear that they might be taken or even killed. However when they arrived in america they faced a lot of anti semitism as well but just not at the same level. 
This photograph is powerful because it shows the vast anti semitism within the western world. Nazi germany at the time was persecuting jewish people and making laws against them only adding to the fear and the jews became so helpless they went to the crumbled depression economy of america for sanctuary.

When this photograph was taken baseball was a very popular sport and it was important to America.  In this picture Lou Gehrig was honored at the Yankee stadium for his great contributions to baseball and he represented the American ideals of democracy, individualism, and meritocracy.

This photograph is powerful because Lou Gehrig was one of the greatest baseball players and he was honored at the Yankee stadium with many people watching. During the 17 years he played for the Yankees and got 218 hits and he helped out the team a lot. Gehrig got diagnosed with ALS which led to his retirement and many citizens pushed to honor him.]]> 2017-12-12 17:16:00 UTC https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215519548 20190595 https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215523259 2017-12-12 17:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215523259 Cab Calloway 20190314 https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215526315 Cab Calloway was a famous Jazz musician who famous for being famous with jazz. He was one of the most important african american figures in jazz and founded the Hi-De-Do chorus in his hit song. Jazz was the music of the depression and it even when there wasnt food there was always a radio blasting jazz This picture was taken by Bettman/Corbis. A nuetral image site who does not change my opinion on the singer in any way.]]> 2017-12-12 17:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215526315 20190595 https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215526393 During the 1920's  the KKK was very active but they were also in decline due to the great depression in the 1930s. They were losing members and the members were encouraged to stay out of trouble. It shows that even though the kkk was in decline there was still lynchings and other things going on and that racism was around throughout all of history.The photograph is pretty shocking, lynching is still at a large.Yes, lynching was thought to have been in decline and barely existent but its still there.]]> 2017-12-12 17:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215526393 A Communal Solution https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215528611 Eleanor Roosevelt is addressing a group at Cumberland Farmsteads in Tennessee in this photo. During the Great Depression, FDR had programs go into effect to help bring Americans out of the Great Depression and raise their morals. These programs would offer employment to people who had loss their jobs during the Great Depression and provide them essential things like shelter, food, and water for those who were homeless. Work would consist of working on farms, roadwork, or other construction projects. This photo is impacting because it shows the government coming together with the people to fix the economic problems. It's another sign of hope for people because it offered opportunity to get out of poverty and start a new life again. ]]> 2017-12-12 17:33:49 UTC https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215528611 Organize for the fight 201802611 https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215531039 Posters are going around trying to get men to recruit to rebuild and enter the workforce during the great depression after the second world war. During the depression morale was low and many men needed jobs after the war, however there were not as many jobs open for all the returning Americans. This lead to many Americans being unemployed and leading to the eventual further development of the great depression. ]]> 2017-12-12 17:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215531039 Hooverville burning 20172991 https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215534053 This picture was from the Archive Photos, Inc./American Stock.  This does not change how i view the photo because it is from archives and they hold many photos from historical events.  

This picture shows a hooverville burning.  When this picture was taken the United States was in the Great Depression.  These hoovervilles were built by homeless people and they were named after the President Herbert Hoover who they blamed for the Great Depression.

This picture is powerful because it shows a hoovervile burning down to the ground and it shows how America was falling apart during the Great Depression. This photo has an impact on the way we understand history because it is a powerful photo showing this hooverville next to a big city burning. This photo is shocking because the hooverville was built next to a big city and it is such a big fire that was barely being contained.

People would go to the city for awhile looking for a job, not being able to see their families for days. It shows the morality many Americans had during this time, tired, stressed, and depressed because they lost so much. People would become desperate for the opportunity to work again and have a standard living]]> 2017-12-13 16:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/20172991/u259p4pwlujc/wish/215863171
