The great depression
|
Many of my closest friends and family lost their jobs this decade. Black Tuesday was hard on us all. I managed to keep my secretary job, but many of my friends were not so lucky. The carefree days of the 20's are over; I've hung up my little black dress in exchange for seeing my friends at the soup kitchen. October 29th, 1929 is a day I'll never forget, and the years that followed are perhaps the toughest I've ever lived through.
