DESCRIPTION:Dust-Bowl Okies in US Culture - Reading and discussion\nBy Roxanne 
 Dunbar-Ortiz\nHow did a people so filled with a populist and socialist 
 tradition in Oklahoma, and in the early years as Dust Bowl migrants in 
 California, come to form the most conservative constituencies in California 
 bringing men like Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan to state and eventually 
 national power? Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, author of Red Dirt: Growing Up Okie, 
 will discuss and read from her own work and that of the late Wilma 
 Elizabeth MacDaniel (the “Okie Bard” of the Central Valley), Woody 
 Guthrie, Merle Haggard, and John Steinbeck. \nSee
