1930s USA - 38 Photos of the Great Depression in America (Colorized)

Imagine losing everything you’ve ever worked for in the blink of an eye. That’s what life was like for millions of Americans during the Great Depression. But despite the unimaginable struggles they faced, they found ways to persevere and come together as a community. Join me as we explore the story of one of the darkest periods in American history and the lessons it holds for today. This video contains a collection of 1930s Depression Era photos, which have all been carefully colorized and enhanced to help bring the past to life. The colorization process isn’t perfect - but today’s technology has made great strides. I hope you enjoy this view back into America’s past.
