My proposal is on the Depression Era in Baltimore city. This particular topic interest me more than others because it was such a turmoil time for Baltimore that most probably didn't think they would survive to see how things progress since then. Most of all, I actually know peolple still living today who went through that disruptive time and can give exact details in how it was back then in Baltimore. To really get a real research on this topic, I will be setting up interviews with with people who survived the era, real artifacts used as a meaning of survival during this period, and documentations of how it was then. I just find it to be a facinating subject for me personally because it can give me and hopefully others a insight into one of the toughest times in Baltimore's history.
Even though the derpession through out the whole country not every one had the same kind of situation to face. It be real interesting to look into Baltimore past and get to connect with how far this city has come. I look forward to finding out all about Baltimore's role in the Depression Era. To be honest this part of this city history is not complete known to me. But, I did find a artifact so far that was used back then for food called a war food ration card. It was the only way people could get food and survive during this catastrophic era. I like to leave with this thought that it might been a struggle during this period but people came together stronger mentally and physically.
