When we got to California we expected work, and things to eat..it just got worst…cops didn’t let us settle down they said they aint going to let okies around..and the kids…they, they…looked me in the eyes an’ like little dogs begged for food, I couldn’t deny them food, even if we aint had any food, I just couldn’t let em die… couldn’t let em suffer. But this was just the tip of the iceberg.
