Feedback on “Penny Riordan, "Carroll Seniors," and the Great Depression:”
In addition to Ms. Penny Riordan’s excellent narrative on the Great Depression, Mr. Frank Thomas has called to our attention an excellent YouTube video – and website – featuring a soulful, insightful tune that really puts together a face and melody to a difficult time in American history…
Frank Thomas - http://www.pennyland.org/ - writes: “This is not meant as a political statement, but rather as an attempt to put a face on something that so often appears academic. If you don't or can't embed video on your blog, I would certainly value your opinion on this 5 minute film, as well as any help you might provide in sharing it with others. I thank you. In hard times artists, as much as anyone, need strong advocates to help share their work.”

A poignant movie by Frank Thomas inspired by "Pennyland" a song written by his brother, Eddie Thomas featuring Depression Era photographs from the Library of Congress and audio excerpts from Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1933 inaugural address.
