Description
Join Humanities Nebraska Speaker's Bureau speaker Bill Ganzel for Dust Bowl Descent. Ganzel located and interviewed a number of individuals who survived the Depression by using photographs taken by the Farm Security Administration. This program follows his journey in locating these people, recounts their stories and juxtaposes recent photographs with 60-year-old images to provide a compelling account of the triumph of the human spirit over hard times. This program has been made possible with the generous support of Humanities Nebraksa and Black Hills Parks and Forests Association.
