America in Color from 1939-1943

Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943 – Plog Photo Blog: "These images, by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on America’s rural and small town populations. The photographs are the property of the Library of Congress and were included in a 2006 exhibit Bound for Glory: America in Color."

Wonderful photos, and many of them look hauntingly familiar. I grew up in a time not far removed from this.
