I find it quite interesting how they all had to wear white outfits. That might have been the uniform since they were all students. Aside from the white outfits I really like this picture cause of how the strings are aligned on the side.

Really amazing shot. Have certainly heard about the dust storms of those years from relatives, but amazing to see it in this way.

I wonder if that is their home? It's a reminder that today's economic downturn pales in comparison with what these people went thru in the 30s.

Arthur Rothstein (the man who took this photo) was my Photojournalism professor in college. He was only a teenager when he took this shot but he told me what a power impression it had on him.

This photo is one of the most memorable things from going to grade school. I grew up in the Midwest, and can remember wondering what the dust bowl must have been like, and I always went back to this photo.

Son, don't worry. Someday you'll look back on this as the perfect preparation for being an astronaut.
