These are some of the earliest color pictures of America in the 1930's, some are quite beautiful.

Really excellent pictures.. Everyone has to check out this link!!
What I see in these photos is not the fact of how hard things were, but how the people coped and got through them...a lesson for today...Sure built character...

Great link. It makes you wonder how nostalgic we will look to the future generation 80-100 years from now.

WOW!!!! Thanks for posting this!! My mom who was born in 1953 is going to love these pictures.

The color sure adds MORE life to the people and the surroundings!!

One other thing, notice that despite how poor these people were, that they all dressed in suits, ties and shoes. These people, as a hole were simple but yet much more mature then people today.
