Ah, the irony. Famous photographer Margaret Bourke-White (she was the first Western photographer allowed into the Soviet Union!) took this photo of a bread line during the Louisville Flood in Kentucky in 1937. Link - via phocks | Margaret Bourke-White [wiki] |

Was that background poster used in the Terry Gilliam movie "Brazil"? Without the "American" headline, of course. Either it, or something extremely similar?

Who is the creepy looking dude third from left, staring directly into the camera? More than a little unsettling.

Haha. That picture was in my history textbook last year.

After a flood, yes, but not a breadline. They're waiting in line for help -- in the form of food and clothing -- the way people continue to do following a natural disaster. It's like calling people waiting for assistance from the Red Cross a breadline.
