America's Golden Age

The Library of Congress recently released color photographs of everyday citizens taken during America's Great Depression and it's early recovery. The images posses a great deal of character and evoke the essence of what it means to be an American, perseverance.

We wont blame the faults of a few on the many of us that live here in North America! I live in Canada, and I LOVE America and Americans! For it is important to note and remember their administration truly is not representative of the people! As we have persevere in the past so shall we again! The times are coming for great change you can feel it :D GOD BE WITH US ALL**

It's sad how you can say that about your own country. I may not like my government, and I may not like our decisions.. But that won't change how much I love the United States.

Nothing in all history had ever succeeded like America,and every American knew it.Nowhere else on the globe had ever nature been at once so rich and so generous,and her riches were available to all who had the enterprise to take them and the good fortune to be white.Progress was not,to him,a philosophical idea but a commonplace of experience:he saw it daily in the steady rise of community and nation to wealth and power.I love American history.

the folks in this clip may not have had a lot of money but they had something more important , they had a connection to the land and their neighbors that is missing today , also people did with a lot less , and did not have all of the tech junk we have today i think they were better for it . how many family sit down at the kitchen table with their kids today ? too busy working to pay for a 60,000.00 dollar kitchen they never even eat in

I look at the blacks and I look at the whites. Everyone seems so happy. But then I have to remind myself that this is still the period where racism is rife and lynchings took place against people of a different colour... And for me, any period in any country which contains something so terrible cannot be called a "Golden Age".

this video depresses me. There is something about today's culture that feels so distant. In a world where technology brings us all closer virtually, I feel more distant than ever from everyone around me.
