EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Jack Delano in July 1940, we are transported back to a time of great hardship and resilience. The image depicts an African American migrant worker from Florida, standing on a porch in Belcross, North Carolina. She is seen meticulously arranging her luggage outside as she prepares for yet another journey in search of work. The woman's determined expression tells the story of countless individuals who were forced to migrate during the Great Depression era. With limited opportunities available, these brave workers traveled long distances to secure employment and provide for their families. This particular trip takes her from Belcross to Onley, Virginia – a testament to her unwavering dedication. Delano's skillful composition captures the essence of rural life in the Southeast during this tumultuous period. The simplicity of the porch setting against the backdrop of lush greenery emphasizes both isolation and unity within communities facing similar struggles. As we reflect upon this powerful image, it serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit that carried these migrant workers through challenging times. Their determination and resilience continue to inspire us today as we strive for social progress and equality. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to honor their legacy while acknowledging our collective responsibility towards creating a more just society.
