19
00:01:31,780 --> 00:01:35,500
On May 11th, 1934, in the middle of the depression,

20
00:01:36,140 --> 00:01:40,760
a massive storm sends millions of tons of top-soil

21
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,780
flying from across the perched great plains

22
00:01:44,780 --> 00:01:48,660
through the United States as far east

23
00:01:48,660 --> 00:01:58,940
as New York, Boston and Atlanta. This was caused by severe drought mixed with farmers over

24
00:01:58,940 --> 00:02:05,440
plowing their fields to grow more wheat during the first world war. This was the beginning

25
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:12,620
of the dust bowl and many of the plain states, people in the plain states had to leave and abandon

26
00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:19,580
their farms and head west looking for work. Would you please stand for the pledge of

27
00:02:19,580 --> 00:02:19,960
allegiance?

28
00:02:25,420 --> 00:02:31,140
Ready? Begin. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,

29
00:02:31,740 --> 00:02:38,260
and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and

30
00:02:38,260 --> 00:02:39,400
justice for all.

31
00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:55,400
Next on the agenda, report from close session, city manager, city attorney,

32
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,480
There is no reportable action. Thank you.
