Winfield Public Library will host “Life in Kansas During the Dust Bowl,” a presentation and discussion by Katie Keckeisen on Saturday, January 24 at 10:00am in the library’s Community Room. Members of the community are invited to attend this free program, made possible by Humanities Kansas.

Black Sunday – April 14, 1935 – is an unforgettable moment in history. The photographs from that day of the dust storm in southwest Kansas made headlines across America. How did Kansans respond to this challenging moment in history? Using eyewitness accounts and photographs, this presentation explores the impact and the legacy of the drought and the “Dust Bowl” on life in Kansas during the 1930s and beyond.
