1 agos 1938 año - Ida Mae's Husband goes to Chicago

Descripción:

He can’t find work in Milwaukee. So, he goes back to Chicago and Starts an Ice business with a buddy. It goes really well, and he finds a place to stay as well for when Ida Mae gets back from having the baby. Wilkerson says "While she was away giving birth, George had left Milwaukee, having found little work and given up on the prospects of making a living there. One of his brothers had settled in Chicago. So George turned to the bigger city with its steel mills, blast furnaces, slaughterhouses, and tanneries. He would have been willing to take just about anything to feed his family, having stooped to pick cotton all his life, but what he found first was a job on another man's ice wagon"(Wilkerson 267).
