The social issue being conveyed is a part of the Great Depression. People back during the Great Depression were unemployed close to 25% of the US population. He was trying to convey that people were suffering and that it got so bad they had to give bread out to the people so they wouldn't starve.

This picture supports the issue because there are many men lined up and they all look tired and eager to get some food. Also there are so many people that just to get a loaves of bread was very important back then. Emotions that come across for me are eagerness, hope and need. It shows the issue by the poster they stand. The way the men are lined, and the business sign saying "Catholic Workers".

I chose this piece because it shows the need of what was back then and how today's struggles are only a meager amount to what people had to deal with during that hard time in America.
