In the 1930s, the Farm Security Administration (FSA) photographed the faces and landscape of the Dust Bowl. Forty years later, Nebraska photographer Bill Ganzel found and re-photographed the survivors for a book and exhibition. The Dust Bowl exhibit, from Humanities Texas, combines the FSA photographs with Ganzel’s photographs to tell a story of strength and triumph in the face of despair.
