AMERICAN EXPERIENCE - Surviving the Dust Bowl
Saturday, 4/13 from 9-10 pm NH EXPLORE
They were called "Black Blizzards," dark clouds reaching miles into the sky, churning millions of tons of dirt into torrents of destruction. For ten years beginning in 1930, dust storms ravaged the parched and over-plowed southern plains, turning bountiful wheat fields into deserts. Disease, hardship, and death followed, yet the majority of people stayed on, steadfastly refusing to give up on the land and a way of life. AMERICAN EXPERIENCE Streaming Video
