MIGRANT SHACK, 1910 - A Glimpse into the Harsh Realities of Early 20th Century Migrant Workers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures a scene that speaks volumes about the hardships endured by migrant workers in early 20th century America. Taken by Lewis Hine in September 1910, it depicts the sleeping area of a small shack on Forsythes Bog, Pemberton, New Jersey. The image reveals a cramped room occupied by the De Marco family, who were forced to share this meager space with ten individuals. The worn-out bedding and tattered blanket offer a glimpse into their daily struggle for survival. The sepia tones evoke an atmosphere of poverty and despair that permeated their lives. Hine's lens exposes the harsh living conditions faced by these migrant workers as they sought employment opportunities in North America during this era. The dilapidated building stands as a stark reminder of the limited resources available to them. As we gaze upon this photograph from over a century ago, we are reminded of the resilience and determination displayed by those who fought against adversity. It serves as an important historical document shedding light on social inequality at the turn of the century. "The Migrant Shack" is not just an image frozen in time; it represents countless untold stories woven within its walls – stories that deserve recognition and remembrance. Through this powerful visual narrative captured by Lewis Hine, we are compelled to reflect upon our shared humanity and strive for justice
