EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Georgia: Cotton Farm, 1941" transports us back in time to the rural landscapes of Greene County. Taken by photographer Jack Delano in June of that year, it captures a poignant moment in the daily lives of African American migrant workers. In this image, we see men and women dressed in worn-out clothing diligently chopping cotton on rented land near White Plains. The scorching summer sun beats down on their backs as they toil away with farm tools in hand. A young African American boy can be seen among them, his small frame a stark contrast against the vast farmland. The photograph not only showcases the harsh realities faced by these hardworking individuals but also serves as a visual representation of the New Deal era's efforts to alleviate poverty during the Great Depression. It is through images like these that we gain insight into the struggles and resilience of America's working class. Delano's composition skillfully captures both the physical labor involved in farming and the emotional weight carried by those who worked tirelessly for survival. This powerful snapshot invites us to reflect upon our history while honoring those whose contributions often went unnoticed. As we gaze at this timeless piece, let us remember that behind every field lies stories untold – stories of strength, perseverance, and hope amidst adversity.
