In the 1930's it was a derogatory term. Today it is worn with pride.
The term "Okie" originated during the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s to refer to migrants from Oklahoma who were seeking work in California. It is a colloquial term that is derived from the state abbreviation for Oklahoma (OK) with the -ie suffix added as a term of endearment.
'The Grapes of Wrath'
During the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s, many families who had to abandon their farms in the Great Plains of the United States migrated westward to states like California in search of new opportunities and better living conditions. This migration was known as the "Okie" migration, and the migrants faced challenges and discrimination as they settled in new areas.
The Dust Bowl forced many people in the affected regions, particularly in the Great Plains, to abandon their farms and seek better living conditions elsewhere, often migrating to California and other states in search of work and stability. This mass exodus, known as the "Okie" migration, was driven by severe drought, soil erosion, and economic hardship. Many families faced significant challenges, including poverty and discrimination in their new locales, as they struggled to rebuild their lives. Ultimately, the Dust Bowl had lasting impacts on agricultural practices and environmental policies in the United States.
