SCHOOLGIRL, 1938: A Glimpse into the Struggles and Determination of Migrant Education This print takes us back to a significant moment in American history - the year 1938. In this powerful image captured by Russell Lee, we witness an adolescent schoolgirl engrossed in her studies within an elementary school classroom for migrant workers at Southeast Missouri Farms. During the Great Depression era, countless families faced immense hardships, including migrant workers who traveled from place to place seeking employment opportunities. Despite their challenging circumstances, education remained a beacon of hope for these young minds. In this rural setting of New Madrid County, Missouri, amidst poverty and limited resources, this determined child demonstrates resilience as she delves into her lesson. The photograph beautifully portrays the importance placed on literacy and learning during those trying times. Russell Lee's lens not only captures the innocence and concentration on the girl's face but also serves as a reminder of the transformative power that education holds. This image stands as a testament to both individual perseverance and collective efforts made through initiatives like the New Deal. As we reflect upon this poignant snapshot from our past, let it serve as a tribute to all working-class children who valiantly pursued knowledge despite adversity. May it inspire us to appreciate our present educational opportunities while striving for equal access for every child today.
