I was born in Lafayette, Indiana to the parents of Cheryl Griffin and Jon Griffin. My mother, Cheryl, was born in Gary, Indiana but soon moved to Terre Haute.

The Great Depression caused massive levels of poverty, hunger, unemployment and political unrest. Also during this time was the Dust Bowl, which was when severe dust storms came through the United States causing droughts, which prevented farming. I chose four books for this project that I thought showed what it was like…

It is unfortunately a sad fact that some alleged wrongdoers who never committed a crime that they were charged with get executed.
