EDITORS COMMENTS
ARKANSAS: REFUGEE, 1937. A poignant glimpse into the hardships faced during the Great Depression, this photograph captures a young flood refugee at a camp in Forrest City, Arkansas. Taken by photographer Edwin Locke in 1937, the image portrays a boy who remains unidentified but whose story resonates with resilience and hope amidst adversity. Dressed in worn clothing and wearing a hat to shield himself from the elements, the young boy stands against an exterior backdrop that hints at the harsh living conditions of his temporary home. The devastating flood that forced him into this camp is evident through his weary expression and unkempt appearance. Locke's composition skillfully conveys both poverty and strength as he focuses on capturing the essence of this young refugee's experience. The image serves as a reminder of America's struggle during this era of economic turmoil when countless families were uprooted from their homes due to natural disasters or financial ruin. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand, this powerful photograph offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our shared history while honoring those who endured such challenging times. It serves as a testament to human resilience and reminds us of our duty to support one another in times of crisis.
