Some even moved back to the Southern Plains because, even if they had no money, they had each other - their families and their neighbors - to get them through the worst hard time.
A good few sought opportunity in California - the Okies as they were called. Most found jobs picking fruit but were not welcomed by many of the Californians. Instead, the Dust Bowl Refugees were greeted at the border by signs like these.

Contrary to popular believe, few actually migrated out of Dust Bowl - only about 25%. Many could not afford to move. Their biggest asset was their land - the homestead. Those who did move would sell all they had to buy a car not knowing if they would find opportunity elsewhere.
As we approach the 90th anniversary of Black Sunday, I have a poll for folks. What percentage of the population migrated out of the southern Great Plains in the Dust Bowl? #DustBowlRefugee #BlackSunday #DustBowl #GreatDepression

This year, marks 90 years since Black Sunday. As we approach the 14th day off April, on Monday, may we remember the lessons we learned from the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression and recognize those lessons that we have failed to learn. #BlackSunday #DustBowl #GreatDepression

Do you know the significance of the 14th day of April? On April 14, 1935, one of the worst dust storms of the 1930s ravaged the Plains. The date coincided with Palm Sunday and so the day came to be known as Black Sunday. #BlackSunday #DustBowl #GreatDepression
