Légende
Ghetto of the Unemployed of New York City, 1932. 'Beneath the pinnacles [of wealth]...an army of idle millions. Nearly 1 in 4 of all the working population in search of a job [Buddy can you spare a dime] For these no demands for higher wages, just pleas for any kind of work. But there was no work for the having. Often only a stone's throw from the pinnacles, you could find the so-called homes of these forgotten. On a dozen waterfronts, on a hundred waste lots, there on forgotten land, the forgotten waited, harbouring what little remained of self-respect. A land of boundless wealth, yet imprisoned by its inability to make that wealth available to all'. From "Time To Remember - Around the Corner", 1932 (Reel 2); diary of events in 1932 in the United States of America - Franklin Roosevelt becomes the President.
