Angry American farmers during the Great Depression, 1933 (b/w photo)

California, United States of America Farmers protest against the forced sale of the ranch of James L. Case, a former preacher. Due to a provisional measure, which was adopted by Henry Morgenthau at the direction of President Roosevelt, then president of the 'Farm Credit Association', and the presiding Judge Hilliard Comstock, the forced sale of mortgaged ranch has been suspended. In this way, the farmers who wanted to prevent the auction should be reassured. The crowd responded to the provisional measure with stormy cheers. In the foreground one sees J. Stitt Wilson from Berkeley who is standing a bit higher and gesticulating.
