Title A name given to the resource Black Blizzard blankets the National Mall Description An account of the resource In March 1935, the sky went dark over Washington, DC as a <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/274">dust storm from the midwest</a> blanketed the city. As this offshoot of the Dust Bowl moved over the nation's capitol, Hugh Bennett, head of the Soil Erosion Service in the Department of Agriculture, was testifying before Congress about the urgent need for money and programs to combat the Dust Bowl. As he spoke the air became thick with dust. People swarmed out of government buildings and onto the Mall to watch the sky. The black blizzard brought home the need for action. One month later Congress voted permanent funding for an independent Soil Conservation Service.

Although the Mall was barely developed when the railroad arrived, some argued that the noisy, dirty, smelly steam-driven locomotives would ruin the landscape of the park. Others believed that the Mall could accommodate both technology and nature and that the railroad represented progress and economic growth.
