The 1930s

I came across these photos, online. These are photos of day laborers, women taking care of their families, children being children, homeschooling, homelessness, large families, poverty, racism, migrant workers, farmers, farmers selling their wares, war.
Time has gone by, life is still the same. It is the human spirit that has not changed.

Vintage Photo

This is a photo of no one I know. What caught my eye was this simply quaint, simply lovely, 1940's farmhouse sink.

A picture says a thousand words and then some

A migrant family

Homeless families, during the depression

The sad reality is, although these pictures were taken almost 80 years ago; the date is the only thing that has moved forward. We are not a third world nation, but yet we have Americans living in third world conditions.

We as a country have a abundance of resources, but yet there are people freezing to death, in the cold of winter. We produce a over abundance of food, but yet, there are children who go to bed hungry at night. We have some of the best medical care in the world, but yet there are 43 million Americans, without health care.

Shame on us.
