On October 29, 1929, better known as “Black Tuesday,” the U.S. Stock Market crashed, setting off a nationwide panic and ultimately a “Great Depression” that lasted until the outbreak of World War II. This presentation looks at the decade of the 1930s, from Hoovervilles and Okies, to the New Deal and politics, to sports and the arts, to Hollywood’s Golden Era. In addition, this multimedia presentation discusses the origins of World War II with the rise of dictators in Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain.
