Description:
Original caption reads: "U.S. 99 near Tracy, California. Missouri family of five, seven months from the drought area. 'Worked in California saw mill at 40 cents an hour until it closed. Went to cotton fields at end of harvest made $5 a week just scrapping along; we're not tramps; we hold ourselves to be white folks. We was forced out; we couldn't stay there.' A common story. Broke, baby sick, car trouble."
