HCJ2 - Steinbeck, Lange, the great depression, photojournalism

You tube on hero photojournalist Dorothea Lange here.


Hero journalist John Steinbeck on YouTube here - on why people hate and persecute immigrants, and what to do about it.

Woody Guthrie - 'hillbillie poet' and voice of the redneck Oakies (sunburn on neck because of picking crops all day in California)

Woody Guthrie - Music and journalism, oral tradition, folk music, rap music.


Migration - the eternal story - Oakie crop pickers in California in 1942; Polish farm workers in East Anglia in 2009... persecuted, starved, denied rights, scapegoated for unemployment, scapegoated for crime, constantly lied about and denigrated, persecuted for the very act of seeking asylum, openly reviled, shunned, physically attacked, deported, harassed...

Migration in the 19th century - The Irish
