EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a poignant moment during the devastating floods of 1937. In Forrest City, Arkansas, a young boy finds solace and sustenance in a camp for white flood refugees. The image, taken by Edwin Locke in February of that year, showcases the resilience and compassion amidst great hardship. Seated at a makeshift table, the boy is served a meal that represents both charity and hope. A plate holds a simple sandwich made with bread - perhaps one of the few comforts available to those affected by the disaster. As he takes his first bite, we can almost feel his hunger being momentarily satisfied. The backdrop of poverty and despair is evident in this scene from the Great Depression era. The New Deal's efforts to provide aid are reflected through this photograph as well; it serves as an emblematic reminder of how government intervention sought to alleviate suffering during these trying times. Locke's composition captures not only the physical aspects but also conveys emotional depth. His lens focuses on this young Caucasian boy who symbolizes countless others facing similar circumstances across America's Southeast region. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, let us remember those who endured such hardships while finding strength within their communities. This print serves as an important reminder of our collective responsibility to support one another during times of crisis.
