Field notes 1



A police officer is escorting some Mexicans to a train leading out of America to Mexico, as the sign in the background states America couldn’t even handle their own during the depression.



Two Mexican children play in the dirt with each other at a camp where the poor would go for free food, shelter and clothes during the great depression.



Here a small Latino child helps his father pick carrots in a field to help out, in the 1930’s it wasn’t uncommon to see children working to help support their families.




Mexican peasants line up for a picture during their travels back to Mexico to try and escape the hardships of the depression. They seem to have it better off then most.



A group of Mexican immigrants are having car troubles on a dusty road during the Depression due to the struggles.





This single mother looks very worried because she probably can’t provide for her children at the camp she’s at; from the looks of it she’s poor and has little money.
