Color photos from 1939-1944

Found a reference to this huge Flickr collection today (imagine, the Library of Congress is now on Flickr!) I find it utterly fascinating to see color photos from this era. I love the carny/fair shots and I found the sharecropper photos particularly poignant.

Amazing photos, Sue. What's the story with "Ruth the Acrobat"; that's one flexible gal! xo ;-)

Sue, what were you looking for that you found these? The pictures are so interesting, and so many stories in the comments. I could spend many days perusing these, and thinking about my relatives. I had a great aunt that ran away to join the circus and I want to know more about her.
