ARKANSAS - REFUGEES, 1937. A Glimpse into the Lives of Young Flood Victims
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures a young flood refugee at the camp in Forrest City, Arkansas, following the devastating Ohio River flood of 1937. Taken by photographer Edwin Locke in February that year, it offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by African American families during this tumultuous period in American history. In this image, we see a baby held lovingly by its mother amidst the backdrop of makeshift tents provided by relief organizations like the Red Cross. The worn-out exterior of these temporary shelters reflects both their humble circumstances and resilience in face of adversity. The Great Depression had plunged America into economic turmoil, exacerbating poverty levels across the nation. This photo serves as a stark reminder of how marginalized communities were disproportionately affected during such crises. Locke's lens not only captures physical surroundings but also conveys an emotional narrative - one filled with hope for better days ahead despite unimaginable hardships endured. It is through images like these that we gain insight into the struggles faced by countless families seeking refuge and assistance during this era. As we reflect on this historical moment captured over eight decades ago, let us remember those who persevered against all odds and honor their legacy as part of our collective journey towards compassion and social justice.
