In the 1930's many people didn't have any communication skills like we do now a days.Many of them didn't have computers, phones, or televisions.And the ones that did have phones had to call the operators and tell them to connect them to the people they were trying to get in contact with.The way most of them got in to contact with most of there family was writing a letter or post cards.The way they would know if any events were happening in there town is if they read the newspaper because televisions weren't invented yet.Thank god for all the brilliant people who invented all the ways we can communicate now because i couldn't imagine how my life would be with out cell phones.

The Stock Market Crash took place during the Great Depression, which is the setting of the novel that we are currently reading. The crash took place in 1929, and marked the beginning of the Great Depression. The Stock Market Crash was on October 24th, but it lasted longer than a day. This day in history was also known as "Black Thursday," and was the day that a USA record of more than 13 million of dollars were traded. The crash was caused by the large number of people who beleived that they could make a huge profit by getting into the stock market business, and the even bigger number of people who borrowed more money than they could pay back in order to buy stocks. This lowered the value of stocks profusely. Not only people, but businesses lost most if not all of their money, which is why this period of American History was rightfully named the "Great Depression."

Amelia Mary Earhart set the record for the women's altitude record with a record of 14,000 feet. In 1928, Amelia flew by herself from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast. In 1929, Amelia established a women's cross-crountry air race. She became the first president of a women pilots organization. After breaking many records in 1930, Amelia decided to marry George Putnam, the man who helped start her career, in 1931. In 1932, she flew across the Atlantic again and broke many records, such as the first women to fly the Atlantic solo, the only person to fly it twice, the longest non-stop distance flown ny a women, and for flying across it in the shortest time. Amelia went missing on her last flight.

This site contains updated factual information on air transportation in the 1930's. During this time air travel was mostly for upper class people, it was very expensive and also extremely dangerous. In the early 1930's there were several passenger planes available, but these were very uncomfortable because none had any type of air conditioning so the temperature outside was the one in the plane. Also, since the planes couldn't fly very high, turbulence in low altitudes made passengers prone to airsickness. Female flight attendants called air stewardesses, were first introduced in 1930, they were all nurses becasue they were more capable at treating ailing passesngers. Stewardesses were resposible for a variety of jobs that had to be done in the plane and the requirements to become one were very strict, for example, they had to be under 118 lbs. under 5 feet 4 indes, between the ages 20-26, and they had to be single. As the years progressed, more improved airplanes were introduced to make the air travel expereience better for its passengers, however, not until many years later was air transportation able to surpass travel by train.

The Scottsboro Trial was based on nine young African American who were accused of raping two white women. The trial took several years. It was the cause of many protests not only in Alabama, but also around the world. Four defendants' charges droped, and the other five defendents had to served six to seventeen years of jail. At the end of this racial battle, the nations system begun to change. Such as civil right movements in history.

This web site contains information that was reliable on finding some of the products or brands that were consumed during that era. It gave me useful information because it was what I was looking for. Procter & Gamble, Camel cigarettes, and Chevrolet were brands that were commonly consumed by people during the Great Depression. The important fact about Procter & Gamble company is that it never had a reduction on prices during this event and that this company has made progress during each of the major recessions throughout history. This was because the company apparently realized that even on this economic depression people needed hygiene products.

The information in the site says is useful bacause it shows that in th e1930's Emilia Earheart saw her first plane in a state fair, and that she did not care about it because it lookes like something that wasnt very interseting. She was born July 24, 1897. She was one of the first women to learn how to fly an earplane. She took her first flyign lesson on January 3, 1921. In a short amount of time she saved enough money to but herself a new air plane, it was a Kinner Airster. Later in her life she married George Putnam in February 7,1931. They worked on plans to try to make her be the first women to fly across the atlantic Ocean, and she would also be the second to fly across aswell. On May 0,1932 she bagan in Harbor Grace, then Newfoundland, and then went to Paris. she was heard around the world. after this huge achieve ment she had much more too. But when she turned 40 she wanted to do somthing challanging, somthing that everybody aould remember, she wanted to fly across the world. Her first time she failed and her plane got dameged but her second time she almost made it but her alst words were "we are running North and South" after that she was never found or seen again.

This site on 1930's fashion is useful because it retains information on how americans shifted from the flapper style in the 1920's to more elegant and lady-like trends. Clothes in 1930's were designed to fit and take on the shape of a person's figure. Designers started to experiment with fabrics other than silk that could mold the body. Another example of body fitting fabric was nylon, produced by Dr. Wallace Carother in 1938. Zippers, promoted by Schiaparell in 1933 had also became a popular trend for men and women.

The information on this site is useful because it talks about Diego Rivera's many art works. It tells about his many works done in the U.S. during the 1930's. Many of his paintings would address political concerns in the U.S. His original painting style and the force of his ideas remain major influences on American painting. All the information on this site could be used to describe what specific paintings he did and which ones are most famous today.

This link is creditable because it's run by a lot of universities in Alabama. It's a website to inform people of Alabama culture along with southern culture. It doesn't appear to have a bias. It contains a long list of universities who loan their books and stuff to the site. It has very good information about the Scottsboro trial. I found out that the author of the book we're reading based her trial on the Scottsboro one.

Langston Hughes first emerged as a poet in the 1920s. Many African American writers such as Hughes would come to the public light during that time. Only recently at that time did African American children get the opportuity of education. The first black writers and poets were published and it was a whole new era in writing. That era is known today as the Harlem Renaissance. Langston Hughes was not popular among the black writers of the time because he wrote much about the ugly parts of living as an African American man during that time period, but his work was quite popular among the average people of the time. So much so that Langston Hughes was the first African American to earn a living solely by writing poetry.

This site can inform you on important information on the life of Diego Rivera. He was cared by a nanny throughout his childhood, whom he was first inspired by to draw people with color in his art. Diego Rivera’s murals were based on the hopes and struggles of Mexican people. He joined Mexico’s Communist Party in the 1920’s and later published a newspaper in which his work was criticized. Critics wanted his murals removed from public buildings due to the involvement in the Communist Party and Mexican people found his work offensive for including people with color in his murals.

Cadillac in the 1930's got pretty expensive at times. Many people didn't want to buy them due to the depression, especially when some cost as much as a high-end home. Few were bought, most of which were only sold during all of the hype of the new models. As new cars go, the technology in the cars got better as well as the bodies were different. After the 1930's, these models were outdone by newer engines.

Historicaltextarchive.com was a great way to learn about President Hoover. It talked about how he tried to help the people get back on there feet and get jobs. Like buying farming surplus to help out the farmers but he didn't buy enough. Hoover and the Republicans did not want to help individual citizens they tought it would currupt him or her, aiding businesses was different. It looked like the Republicans were only interested in the rich. Hoover broke precedent because the national government assumed some responsibility for what happens during economic depression.he believed that depression was a part of normal business cycle and caused by international factory and not US ones. he thought "prosperity was just around the corner."

The Harlem Renaissance also called "The Negro Movent" is a period during the great deprssion when african americans expressed their feelings through art and music.During this time there was plenty of racismn and blacks started to lash out not in harsh words but,in their art and music.Some sculpters, paintings,poems, and songs often portrayed the government and whites as selfish evil people.Most of the arts in the renissance were intended to encourage and uplift the blacks with beautiful art and uplifting songs.This site is a educational site which has been updated recently.

Even between war and hard times people needed too be entertained, and in the 1930's it was no different. With the addition of sound movies and plays helped people forget their problems at once. In the 1930's singers such as Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Glenn Miller were considered stars and they were admired for their music. The radio was also popular for entertainment. It offered soap opera's and sermons.

The Scottsboro Trail gave a perfect example to me what it would be like to be stated as a negro, during the great depression. Two white female claimed to have been rape by nine black boys while accompanied by four white men. The case was taking to trai and after being humilated, threatened and discrace to thousands of whites the black boys were sentenced to death. After reading letters from the boys while in jail and a confession from one of the girls, it was obvious they didn't do it. The girls lied to get publicity and hopefully a job at a mill, reading this let me know what people did for anything worth value during the depression.

Entertainment in the 1930's [1940]
Entertainment in the 1930's was very different from our current entertainment. Not only because technology has advanced but because it was during the great depression and WW II. Entertainment was a way to help them forget there troubles and help them enjoy life during "Hard times". Entertainment also had to be inexpensive because of the condition and of course entertaining. People enjoyed movies with audio since it was new to them. Like comedy, gangster and musicals movies. The radio was also entertaining, they were able to listen to sermons, soap operas, or music like swing music, war songs and big bands.
