1. What is the statue installation of? Is it about the Bonus Army?

2. the bread lines

of the Great Depression… (FDR Monument)

The Breadline is located in Room Two of the FDR Memorial. The five figures in the sculpture, all male, all with eyes downcast and all dressed in long coats and hats as a defense against the cold, stand in line against a brick wall and wait for food that may be only bread. The windowless wooden door they all face remains closed in front of them.

Room Two covers the time of the Great Depression, and this sculpture reflects the difficulties encountered by many people.

The inscription partly above and partly to the left of this sculpture is from 1937. It reads:

I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, and ill-nourished. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.
