The southern plains in wesrtern kanses, Oklahoma was suffering the most terrible drought in memory.I was a little kid.I didn't know much. I saw my parents worrying too much. By 1932, 12.5 million men and women were unemployed. My parents were one of them.That was when I realized why my parents were so worried.My parents were lining on bread lines to get food, and mainutrison was becoming a serious problem among me. I knew that my parents are trying to escape the sadness.
