The new captions make a lot of difference. These photographs make you feel sadder than your previous selections. Gee! life was grim during the depression. Keep up with your website...you are making a positive impact to a lot of our lives today
Most kids today would probably look on in disbelief if they were told that people use to live like this, and didn't have cell phones and internet. And didn't have TV, much less TVs in color. This channel needs to be a part of every schools curriculum.
Looking at these pictures made me realize human nature! I was born in 1939. My eldest brother was 13 years older than me! 6 of us kids. Dad and Mom were children of Homesteader settling the Oregon Territory! 160 acres were only enough to be subsistence Farming. When my folks (and many others) came of age there was nothing left for them to Homestead. Just to find a job miles from any town? For a Dollar or two a day was rare! Dad explained that they never heard of any Depression, as that was normal life, where they lived! Dad worked day jobs and rented whatever shack they could find. Like all young married people, kids just happened! Notice all these pictures with poor children? That was our family life! LOL, No fat people in those days. Dad had a third grade Ed. Mom made it to 8th.(one room school) If it wasn't for WW2 in 1941 we would still be in a mess. Notice how poor people were? But there was always Money for Booze and Tobacco!
I have been looking for depression era photos of life's hardships on YT for over a decade. There have not been a lot to choose from until your channel and all of a sudden ... the deluge. Much appreciated, but what's going on?
my mother used to tell us kids about how the homeless and out-of-work would knock on her back door during the Great Depression, asking for food. my grandmother would make them a sandwich or maybe give them something left over from dinner and they would eat on my mother's back porch, all during those years. the social safety nets were in the big cities but in small towns like where my mother lived, everyone chipped in.........
It seems that back then no one had the means or the ability to build anything. Just slap boards together for some kind of "shelter." Kind of like today on the sidewalks in the cities.

Thanks. Unfortunately, RUclips does not agree.

Thank you! I have a passion for history and am doing this to keep it alive.

I am just a history fan who wants to share. We tend to forget how hard life can really be. Thanks for the comment. :)
@@historystuff5516 You are showing pictures of the future here as well as the past.

I heard those stories around my town as well!
The music is quite OVERWHELMING!!!!!
This probably is a good video but it needs a music editor. Better choice of music also.
Thank you for your input. Most people love the music. Tough to please everyone.

Using scrap and whatever they could find. Thank for watching!
There is no such thing as Mays Avenue in Oklahoma City, my hometown. It is May Avenue. Fix this.
Thank you for your input. May's Ave in the possessive perhaps? I have heard it referred both ways.
Two of my best friends are from OK City as well. :)
