It is, in a way, rather ironic that I happened to stumble upon this video whilst aimlessly browsing in the wee small hours of the morning, as is my want. I am currently taking a graduate-level course on the Great Depression in the United States; this footage is priceless, offering a precious glimpse, however brief, into the complicated public lives of Chicago denizens during those trying times. Watching it, one can see both the raw struggles and formidable perseverance of people facing real hardship. I applaud you for posting this footage for the world of RUclips to see! - Ryan

My late Mom grew up in a sharecropper family in GA during the depression. She had some grim tales to tell.
