Presentation transcript:

By spring of 1933, when FDR took the oath of office, unemployment had risen from 8 to 15 million (roughly 1/3 of the non-farmer workforce.)

Breadlines and Hoovervilles (homeless encampments) appeared across the nation.

Cleveland

New York City, Central Park

Sacramento

Hoovervilles were populated by families from all walks of life and occupations,

…from those who lost their farms, hoping to find work in the city…

Norman family, lost farm the year before, 1939

…to blue collar urban workers, left unemployed from factory and small business closings…

..and professionals, teachers and bankers.

By the mid 1930s, in Oklahoma, City officials established a few “formal” community camps, such as Elm Grove, where residents were given official permission to live…

…and provided with access to drinking water for a nominal monthly fee.

Rent: one dollar, collected by the city, no sanitation.

Many residents refused charity hand-outs, preferring to rely on odd jobs and savaging for necessities, known as “trashing.”
