Color slides found at the Library of Congress

Color slides found at the Library of Congress...great representation of what life was all about in the late 30's and 40's.

Note several kids without shoes. These pictures are absolutely
wonderful. They were taken from color slides found at the Library of Congress, and are dated between 1939-1943. The pictures are so clear and the color is so vibrant, it looks as though they were taken yesterday.

Couldn.t wait until "short pants" days and then "no shoes" days in South Carolina elementary school where I attended.

I'm just old enough to remember those days.I remember as a kid we,my older brothers and me,would leave the house on a saturday morning and not get back home till supper time.My parents never got upset about that.Today they want to put parents in jail for that,they call it child abuse.

Life is still like this in most of the world. It is just in the "developed" countries that we live like crabs in a bucket.
