This image by Margret Bourke-White stands as one of the pivotal pieces of art capturing a divide between race and prosperity that existed 1937 America and may still exist today in the minds of many Americans. Despite the fact that unemployment had reached staggering overall lows of 25% during the Great Depression’s worst freefall, the photo forces the viewer to wonder if there are those unmentionable Black folks who will never see the cheerfully advertised “world’s highest standard of living” by their respective standards of lifetime.

All this came from a UC Berkley Civil Engineering student who just wanted to have fun like most every karaoke patron.
