| Description: |
This project includes a series of interviews with Civilian Conservation Corps members who talk about their experiences in the CCC during the dark days of the Depression. All the interviewees talk about the pride they had in working with the CCC as eighteen-year-olds, and how the experience helped them grow and mature. All were from large families and the $25 a month they were required to send home was often the difference between survival and starvation. |
