Hibbing: The Little Town That Stood

My team and I did this video for National History Day my senior year. I spent over 200 hours on the video production and we advanced to State Finals with it. We ended up getting in the Top 8 and we got a cash prize from the Minnesota Historical Society.

Enjoy.

What Dylan songs are used? I know the first is "Hard Times" but anything after that would be much appreciated.

Hibbing, my home town. It has been a very interesting place with lots of personal stores from meager beginnings. It was a true melting pot of immigrants and their families. Slovenians, Italians, Finns, Scandinavians, and many more. M own grandparents spoke almost no english. A great place to grow up, in spite of its brutal winters. So many memories, for me 1946 to 1968. Family still there including my 91 year old mother, a great italian woman.
