Images of the Great Depression

We will be studying the Great Depression for a few classes. Many images of this hard time were taken. One of the most famous, from the United States, was taken by one of a group of photographers hired by the U.S. Federal government to document the impact the Depression had on people. You can view all of these images online at the U.S. Library of Congress website. This is one of my favourite images because of the emotion it evokes. Every time I look at it, I wonder what is going through her mind. She must be so worried about her children.
