Stunning film footage along with eyewitness accounts will document the Dust Bowl of the 1930s that devastated areas of Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. The course will examine economic and land use mistakes that created the greatest man-made ecological disaster in our history. We’ll also discuss the FDR government’s actions to reclaim the land and restore the livelihood of the people of the Dust Bowl. We’ll focus on lessons learned and ask the hard question: Is another Dust Bowl possible?
