The Power of Influence: The Handbills, Flyers, Billboards & Ads of Dustbowl Migration

For our Omeka project, we're going to present an exhibit showcasing various forms of Visual Media that farmers like the Joads might have seen before, after, or during their pitfall-ridden journey from Oklahoma to California. We'll be exhibiting a variety of artifacts from the era of Dust Bowl Migration: "han'bills' (aka flyers) to advertisements and billboards.
