About Me

- Looking. Searching. Wandering. Asking. Doubting. I've got no problem with the hunt or the quest. But I'm leary of what appear to be "definitive answers". There's always another side, another angle, another interest, another day. I wonder if all that makes me a bad teacher...

The fashion era website has many information about fashion, not just what to wear but how it evolved in the 1930's. As a fashion website it's rare to see it's history and how it came to be, up on the website that has to do with fashion. Talks about coats, cloaks, hair, hats, royal fashion, undergarments, and vintage dresses. Since health and fitness was important back then, it talks about beach fashion. Such as knit hats, beach wraps and all things that came into fashion having to do with the beach. In fashion it was also important to wear make-up so the site gives you information on how to wear it and what colors go with what clothes. Those were for the pale looking outfits which they usually wore.

E. This website tells us that how and what influenced amelia earhart to become a aviatrix. Aviatrix is a person who flies aircraft for profession. It includes all the accomplishments that she achieved. One of the things she completed was that she flew a solo flight from atlantic to pacific. It talks about her early life to which is very interesting. This website tells us she was a avitrix into the 1930's and over.

E.In The 1930's only about 1/20 Person/family owned an automobile because of the great depression but through all odds people owned automobiles. A car in the 1930's was about $640 which now seems like a car note but then it was as if it was $30,000. Teenagers often became chaufferus because their was no power steering. If train or bus transportation was readily available and the locations for employment opportunities were far, ladies kept the cars while gentlemen commuted via public transportation.

E. It took me a while to find a useful website. I ended my researching once I came across this website because it explains how The Great Depression affected the wardrope. Because the need for money was at its peek, clothes had to last a long time. Therefore, styles did not change every season. The simple print dress with a waist line and a longer hem length replaced the flapper attire of the 1920's. The zipper became wide spread because it was less expensive than the buttons and closures previously used. With the facts stated above I believe this website is a credibal resource to use.

The artical I read is about The transportation in the 1930s. It has a lot of useful information in the artical. Like how the first airplane was made, how it looked, and about many other transportations. In fact A car in the 1930's was between $600-$640. Also the ladies kept the cars while gentlemen took public transportation.

E.This Article should appeal to other researchers because Edward Lucie-smith is skilled in British writer, poet, art critic, curator and broadcaster. Edward starts his Article with question to keep readers interested. Also explains all the details in Diego's life. Edward tells his birth date, where he was born, and most of the aspects in his life. The Article is also somewhat of a time line. This Article is his whole life until he died, it gives alot of usful information.

E.I saw several other websites before I saw this one. I thought this website had the best information out of all the others because instead of a short summary, it was very specific and detailed. By detailed I mean it gave you the beginnings of the Harlem Renaissance, it's characteristics, it's end, and the influence it had afterwards in detail. It also gave you the name of many of the important people and their roll more than any others.

E.The wwcd websitr has very usefull information about the mew deal passed by Franklin D. Rooseveltin the 1930's during the great depression. This website has information dilling with Federal Cultural Programs of the 1930's. Also, info about Early New Deal Programs: PWAP and FERA. In addition it also has info dilling with The Works Progress Administration (WPA). It also talks about the federal one and the end of the era. This website I found had lost more usefull info and to be more credibal then any of the other websites I looked at.

E. Diego Rivera (during the Great Depression epoch) was a very famous Mexican artist whose art influenced much of the international level of art, and really helped define its parameters. Using the fresco painting technique, he reintroduced this concept and has still been used today in modern art and architecture. He brought his ideas and displayed them in numerous galleries where his work still inspires artist of all levels today. One of his most important contributions occurred in 1930 where he used his unique ability to paint a picture of California's natural resources, and nothing but the essentials were depicted only to further prove that he had the ability to incorporate primitive politics and still maintain that historical aspect which everyone loved about his art.

I came across this website after viewing many others. My reason for choosing this website was because the information was very straight forward and easy to understand. Careers, imagine where we would be without them. Back in the 1930's, many poor people dealt with the struggle of not having one that day, the next day, and the next day after that. People would do anything know to mankind to fight for survival. Their decisions would only get harder each and every day. Food was a major battle during The Great Depression. Many people went on to looking for work, and if they weren't succesful, they would only have the choice of not eating which can't last forever. Without a career, it was almost impossible to have survived in the 1930's. No employees leads to no jobs, and no jobs lead to no money which is what made The Great Depression become such a big economic slump.

D. What lasted about seven years, a trial against nine blacks was reaching front pages in the 1930’s. It was their word against everyone else. On the Railroads was said to be a fight between the white and black, and once all the whites were forced out of the train they reported assault. Victoria Price said that she been gang raped along with her friend, Ruby Bates by 6 out of the 9 men. Despite the evidence proving wrong that the semen was in fact none of the black men being trialed or the word of Ruby Bates saying that Mrs. Price was telling lies and trying to get her to do the same. The verdict for the first three trials were guilty and to be put to death but the fourth trial was when they were to be sentenced to jail instead. Thanks to Leibowitz made sure they were not sentenced to death because he believed they were innocent and he even got blacks to be juries instead of an unfair trial of all whites who were probably racist around those times.

E. The Great Depression affected many american citizens, especially the ones that were employed in large quantities by a single industy. The stock market on October 29, 1929, crashed and thereafter led to careers being diminished by increments every day. Taxes weren't affordable to most people because they were umemployed. The people that had jobs had their personal income plummet and couldn't resort to any other jobs with better pay because a large amount of businesses were closed down. The unemployed had an extremely hard time to find another job, and even farmers lost a huge portion of their pay because agricultural products' costs had to be brought down to 60 percent. Ultimately, careers during the Gread Depression, which lasted thoughout the 1930's, had a big part of America's structure, and without them America would eventually fall, obviously. Luckily, Roosevelt's presidency, "which brought the United States through the Great Depression to a prosperous future", said FDR's biographer Jean Edward Smith in 2007, "He lifted himself from a wheelchair to lift the nation from its knees."

e.After searching for a little while I stumbled apon this helpful website. This website contained alot of good facts about president Hebert Hoover. President Hoover was the son of a Quaker blacksmith, he brought to the Presidency an unparalleled reputation for public service as an engineer, administrator, and humanitarian. Many years later, President Hoover was Republican Presidential nominee in 1928, that was when he said then: "We in America today are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before in the history of any land." But yet monthes later the stock markets crashed, and the nation began to fall downward into depression. In 1931 repercussions from Europe made the crisis worse, even though the President presented to Congress a program asking for creation of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to aid business, additional help for farmers facing mortgage foreclosures, banking reform, a loan to states for feeding the unemployed, expansion of public works, and major governmental economy. Shortly after Hoover became the scapegoat for the depression and was badly beaten in 1932. In 1947 President Truman suggested Hoover to a commission, which elected him chairman, to reorganize the Executive Departments. He was appointed chairman of a similar commission by President Eisenhower in 1953.

D.This is a seven year trial involving nine blacks in the 1930s's. It was making front page headlines and involved a fight on the railroads that included whites and blacks. The whites reported assault and it was the blacks word against everyone else's. Leibowitz kept them from being sentenced to death and even got some blacks in the jury besides an all white jury who was most likely racist anyway.
