Lesenswert, bestimmt auch hörenswert
Today in Labor History April 14, 1935: The Black Sunday dust storm swept across the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles. This was one of the worst storms of the Dust Bowl. 4 years later, on this same date, John Steinbeck published his classic working-class novel, The Grapes of Wrath, about Dust Bowl refugees in California.

The Black Sunday Dust Storm of April 14, 1935
The 1930s were times of tremendous hardship on the Great Plains. Settlers dealt not only with the Great Depression, but also with years of drought that plunged an already-suffering society into an onslaught of relentless dust storms for days and months on end. They were known as dirt storms, sand storms, black blizzards, and “dusters.” It seemed as if it could get no worse, but on Sunday, the 14th of April 1935, it got worse. The day is known in history as “Black Sunday,” when a mountain of blackness swept across the High Plains and instantly turned a warm, sunny afternoon into a horrible blackness that was darker than the darkest night. Famous songs were written about it, and on the following day, the world would hear the region referred to for the first time as “The Dust Bowl.”

It also hits very different in 2025 compared to 2014 when we were still in the Good Timeline.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting two individuals walking along a rural path with sparse vegetation on either side. The person in the foreground appears to be carrying a basket of crops or materials over their head, indicating laborious work associated with agriculture. They are wearing what looks like a military-style uniform, suggesting they may have been displaced by circumstances such as war or drought.
The second individual is walking behind and slightly away from the first, also engaged in agricultural activity but not visible enough to discern specific tasks being performed. This person has their head turned towards the camera, with one child on each hip, which implies a multitasking role possibly combining care-giving responsibilities alongside work demands.
In the background, there are hints of more individuals and vehicles, indicating this may be part of larger group or migration movement. The landscape is flat and open, typical of agricultural regions in California during periods when farming was heavily reliant on manual labor.

![The image depicts a black and white scene of three children, two boys sitting on the ground and one girl standing near them. They appear to be in an outdoor setting with a tree providing shade over them. The background shows various objects including a makeshift stove or furnace attached to a structure, what looks like pots or containers on top of it, and some branches scattered around.
The children are dressed in casual clothing that seems worn out, suggesting they may come from humble backgrounds. Their expressions convey feelings such as sadness, contemplation, or resilience, possibly reflecting the hardships of their lives during the era depicted.
In this image, Dorothea Lange captures a poignant moment, likely aiming to portray the daily struggles and innocence lost in difficult times. The photograph is part of her extensive body of work documenting American society during the Great Depression.
Dorothea Lange was known for using photography as a tool for social reform, often focusing on issues such as poverty, homelessness, racism, urban migration, war refugees, and various other subjects that highlight societal injustices. Her work has left an indelible mark in photographic history, particularly with her coverage of the Dust Bowl crisis during this period.

Along the highway near Bakersfield, California. Dust bowl refugees

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting a group of people, presumably part of the Dust Bowl refugees during the Great Depression era in America. The setting appears to be an outdoor rural area with dry grass on the ground, suggesting a lack of vegetation typical after extended periods without rainfall. A wooden makeshift structure serves as a cooking station where food is being prepared over an open flame.
In total, there are seven individuals visible; four adults and three children. One adult male wears a wide-brimmed hat indicative of farming work or outdoor labor, another man sports a cap while wearing spectacles, the third adult appears to be a woman with her hair pulled back and dressed in practical clothes for fieldwork.
The women include one holding an infant on her chest and another standing beside them. The children are various ages - a young boy possibly around ten years old stands near his mother, two girls appear older than four but not quite as mature; the youngest girl is held by an adult woman with dark hair.
Their expressions range from focused to contemplative while they engage in their tasks or gaze into the distance, reflecting perhaps hardship and uncertainty. In the background lies a tractor, hinting at agricultural work that may have been interrupted due to drought conditions resulting in the migration of these families away from their lands.

Mother and baby of family on the road. Tulelake, Siskiyou County, California. General caption number 65

![A black and white photograph captures a poignant moment between an adult woman, wearing glasses, with curly hair, and a young child. The woman appears to be in distress or fatigue, her expression somber as she gazes off-camera while holding the child on her lap. Beside them is another individual's arm draped over what seems like a coat rack.
The child has a dirty complexion and disheveled clothing, suggesting they may have been traveling for some time with little care taken to clean or dress well. The toddler looks directly at the camera with an expression that could be interpreted as wary or apprehensive. Both are seated inside a vehicle; glimpses of seats and what appears to be part of the steering wheel suggest it's likely an older model.
The photograph has visible handwriting on its right edge, indicating identification marks typically seen in historical documentation: "Mother 2C - child with spoon" above and below respectively. A watermark or signature is present at bottom-right corner reading 'S Frazel'.
In terms of context provided by the caption from Mother and baby of family on the road in Tulelake, Siskiyou County, California, this image likely represents a moment during economic hardship such as The Great Depression when many families were displaced due to unemployment or droughts. This historical snapshot underscores the human toll often overlooked amidst broader narratives like stock market crashes.
