          The Charter was finalized and signed on August 14th, 1941.

The most Depressing of The Depression

I find that the most depressing part of the Great Depression was the fact that schols were forced to be shut down in specific parts of the country. The children were forced to stay home, or beg out on the streets, or even work for the men who were selling illegal alchohol for money so they could help their family. Some Children even starting causing problems with authorities out on the streets. With the lack of dicipline they used to get from their teachers, they thought they could do as they pleased. These children were the ones with problems at home and the ones who couldn't afford much if not anything... It's very sad to think about expessially if you could imagine yourself in their shoes.

The Art and Jazz of the Twenties!!!

This art from the 20's was inspired by mainly the jazz age itself. The point of Jazz was to let people feel free and have selfless freedom. To let go and not have to worry. To have fun and enjoy what life has to offer. This are doen't just show a man dancing and having fun and drinking and boogy-ing down, no he is enjoying life. That 20's brought this out in poeple. The fun, the music, heck, even the parties made life worth living. I would give anything to go back to the era and live if only for a day.
