Humanities Nebraska speaker to present 'Dust Bowl Descent'

NEBRASKA CITY - Humanities Nebraska speaker Bill Ganzel will present a program on Dust Bowl history at the Morton-James Public Library at 7 p.m on Aug. 1.

In his program “Dust Bowl Descent” Ganzel interviews a number of individuals who survived the Depression by using photographs taken by the Farm Security Administration. The program follows his journey in locating these people, recounts their stories and juxtaposes recent photographs with 60-year-old images to provide a compelling account of the triumph of the human spirit over hard times.
