Did Pole-Ams flee the Dustbowl?

I'm doing some research on the mass migrations caused by the 1930's Dustbowl catastrophe that affected 400,000km2 of the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles, along with parts of New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas. I understand that there were some Poles in these parts who had arrived in the 1850's, following larger German immigration.
The course I'm putting together is on the theme of protest through popular song, and I wondered if any PF-ers had any family history of being among the largest displacement in US history (by 1940 2.5m out of the great plains). Any other resources on protest songs from this period would be greatly appreciated (not my hero Woody, though - got loads.) Thanks.
