Additional Details

"We were all inspired and revved up by the whole New Deal idea, and of changing things and trying to get people to understand what was going on, and what the condition of the country was. We were trying to show this graphically, because people will look at photographs when they won't read things. We hoped that this would make an impact and change people's ideas and their opinions."
