    I thought that this is a great article to start this week's assignment off with. I am unfamiliar with the true history of the Great Depression. I have not studied these topics in years, so this refresher was needed. I hope that you all are able to find this article useful.

    This was a short work on race and the Great Depression. What many do not realize, is that the 1930s were a very unstable time for race relations. Race was not put on the back burner because of the economic problems. I found the picture of the The New Yorker to be particularly interesting.

  • Federal Securities Act of May 1933/ Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) This act required full disclosure of information on stocks being sold. The SEC regulated the stock market. Congress also gave the Federal Reserve Board the power to regulate the purchase of stock on margin. Critical for long-term success for businesses.
  • Works Progress Administration (WPA) 1935-1943 This agency provided work for 8 million Americans. The WPA constructed or repaired schools, hospitals, airfields, etc. Decreased unemployment.
  • Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 This banned child labor and set a minimum wage. This law was a long awaited triumph for the progressive-era social reformers.

  • Social Security Act This act established a system that provided old-age pensions for workers, survivors benefits for victims of industrial accidents, unemployment insurance, and aid for dependent mothers and children, the blind and physically disabled. Although the original SSA did not cover farm and domestic workers, it did help millions of Americans feel more secure.

    This webpage presents a table outlining the many and varied programs brought forth by the New Deal. The table describes the program and its outcome. The New Deal changed the lives of many Americans through the implementing of a minimum wage, the creation of jobs, the banning of child labor and especially the Social Security Act.

    This website goes deep into the Great Depression, how it began and how it ended. Beginning with the stock market crash in 1929 and Black Tuesday and finally with FDR's New Deal America came out of the Great Depression. Many people lost their jobs and some their lives to constant poverty and hunger. It looks as though the woman in the photo was a victim.
