EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a heart-wrenching moment in American history, taken along Highway 60 in New Madrid County, Missouri, in January 1939. The image shows a group of evicted sharecroppers, their belongings piled high on a cart and a horse-drawn wagon, as they prepare to leave their former home. The scene is a stark reminder of the Great Depression's devastating impact on rural communities in the United States. Sharecropping was a common agricultural practice in the Southern United States after the Civil War, where farmers worked the land in exchange for a share of the harvest. However, during the Great Depression, many landowners were unable to pay their debts and evicted their sharecroppers, leaving them destitute and homeless. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of these families as they face an uncertain future. The image also highlights the social and economic challenges of the time, which led to widespread poverty and displacement. The eviction not only meant the loss of their home but also the loss of their livelihood, as they were forced to leave their land and start anew in an already struggling economy. The photograph was taken during a time when the federal government was implementing various programs to provide relief to those affected by the Depression, such as the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Works Progress Administration. However, for these evicted sharecroppers, the road ahead was long and difficult, and the future held many uncertainties. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the struggles and sacrifices endured by Americans during one of the most challenging periods in the nation's history.
