The Library of Congress has a collection of nearly 1,600 color photos from the Great Depression. I think that there is a chance students will connect to these photos in a more powerful way then many black and whit images of the same period.
It would be great to choose about 20 that are not dated in some obvious way, mix them with more modern depictions of poverty, or life in other countries (not sure yet....) and have them make guesses about the date, place, and circumstances of each photo.
