Title
World's Highest Standard of Living
Description
In one of the most famous photographs of the 1930s, White appears to juxtapose a Great Depression unemployment line with the collective dream of an American Way. But her image actually was taken in Louisville, Kentucky after a flood of the Ohio River—which had killed nearly 400 people and displaced a million more across four states.
