EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "COOPERATIVE FARM, 1937" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases the resilience and determination of a former sharecropper as he plants corn on the Mississippi Delta Cooperative Farm in Hillhouse, Mississippi. Captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in June 1937, this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of African American farmers during the Great Depression. The man depicted stands tall amidst the vast field, wearing denim overalls and a straw hat shielding him from the scorching summer sun. With his trusty bucket by his side, he diligently tends to each seedling with care and precision. His weathered hands tell stories of hard work and perseverance. Lange's lens beautifully captures not only the physical labor but also the spirit of community cooperation that defined these cooperative farms during this era. This image serves as a testament to how individuals came together to support one another through challenging times. As we reflect upon this powerful photograph, let it remind us of our shared history and inspire us to appreciate those who have worked tirelessly for their livelihoods against all odds. It is an enduring symbol of hope, resilience, and unity that continues to resonate today.
