MIGRANT FAMILY, 1911 - Capturing the Resilience of a Hardworking Family
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph by Lewis Hine, taken in September 1911, transports us back to a time when life was far from easy for many American families. The Teixiera family, depicted here as migrant berry pickers at Plimmey Bog in Massachusetts, represents the countless families who worked tirelessly to make ends meet during this era. In this snapshot of daily life, we see a group of determined individuals engaged in their laborious task. The father stands tall with his tools nearby, embodying the strength and perseverance required to provide for his loved ones. The mother is seen alongside her children - two daughters and a son - all actively participating in the harvest. Their faces reveal both weariness and determination as they fill their pails with berries. The image captures not only the physical demands of their work but also hints at the hardships faced by these rural workers. Poverty looms over them like an unwelcome shadow while they strive to earn a living amidst challenging conditions. While child labor was unfortunately prevalent during this period, it is important to recognize that these young souls were forced into such circumstances out of necessity rather than choice. This photograph serves as a reminder of their resilience and fortitude despite facing adversity at such tender ages. Lewis Hine's powerful portrait immortalizes the Teixiera family's struggle within America's working class history—a testament to those whose tireless efforts helped
