Gallery of Faces

This gallery of faces of the many Immigrant Americans who lived in the United States during the Depression Era was created to allow you to better relate to the stories you will read or hear in the following pages. I have always believed that seeing someones face makes you able to relate to them more and makes their stories more touching. I ask you to keep these faces in mind as you read their stories and to put yourself in their shoes. 

Everyone of these people shown has a story. They all faced their own hardships and had different life experiences, but they are all united by the fact that they are immigrant Americans. These are the people who stories this exhibit intends to tell. Though these are just simple photos they truly do take the place of a thousand words. These photos depict pain, joy, hope, exhaustion and so many other things these people felt. Something that text can no do justice for.
