Explanation:

The Dust Bowl in the Southern Plains states during the 1930s severely impacted the communities in the region. The population declined significantly as millions of people left in search of job opportunities in other areas, particularly in California. The 'Okies,' as they were derogatorily called, faced challenges in finding work, leading to tensions with existing farmworkers in California.
