Born in the 1910s and 1920s, people from this generation were decisively shaped by their experiences during the Depression, World War II and the Boom years. Today - well into the 21st Century - images and memories gathered together in this exhibition help us to begin to understand not only who they were, but who we are. In addition, the exhibition will also feature 45 photographs depicting America between 1930 and 1965 from the Museum of Photographic Arts (MoPA) in Balboa Park, San Diego.
