MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History April 14, 1935: The Black Sunday dust storm swept across the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles.

AI6YR BenNational Weather Service:The Black Sunday Dust Storm of April 14, 1935The 1930s were times of tremendous hardship on the Great Plains. Settlers dealt not only with the Great Depression, but also with years of drought that plunged an already-suffering society into an onslaught of relentless dust storms for days and months on end. They were known as dirt storms, sand storms, black blizzards, and “dusters.” It seemed as if it could get no worse, but on Sunday, the 14th of April 1935, it got worse. The day is known in history as “Black Sunday,” when a mountain of blackness swept across the High Plains and instantly turned a warm, sunny afternoon into a horrible blackness that was darker than the darkest night. Famous songs were written about it, and on the following day, the world would hear the region referred to for the first time as “The Dust Bowl.”<a href="https://www.weather.gov/oun/events-19350414" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.weather.gov/oun/events-19350414</a><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/tags/dustbowl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dustbowl</a>
