In 1937, Margaret Bourke-White photographed an advertisement that read: “World’s highest standard of living: There’s no way like the American way”. It was seen in Louisville, shortly after a flooding in Ohio River valley. A group of African Americans lined up outside, waiting for emergency relief from a government station. Bourke-White, who showed how strenuous the depression was in the 1930s, is featured in a new group exhibit that details how America coped in dire political and economic times.
