Scenes from the Great DepressionJan 14, 2012
From the Dorothea Lange Collection - photos of migrants in California during the Great Depression (1935-1945). It is interesting how the thread of comments for this video has taken a life of its own. I posted this video as a tribute to Dorothea Lange, as her amazing photos transcend both race and time. She had a unique ability to recognize and capture the soul of people who struggled under extreme conditions. Many people from the Great Depression went on to lead long productive lives, and it is heartening to read comments from relatives of those who survived. Perhaps we can all learn from the photos and the glimpse they provide into American history.

The Great Depression: Causes and EffectsJan 26, 2012
A short video outlining the causes and effects of the Great Depression. This is meant for grade school use. By no means does this video intend to outline all aspects of the time period, nor is it in depth. This video includes basic ideas, explained in basic terms, to give basic understanding. Also, pardon the low quality of the video. It was done for an education class, so it was completed on a short timeline amongst everything else that goes on during the semester leading up to graduation. :)
